The Treatment of Troopers

The followii g letter, which rpconHy appearfd m the Olago Daily Times, gpsaks for itself:— TO THE EDITOR Sir,—The satisfaction to 'oeobtainpd by publishing an apparently hopeless grievance is at least a vague one. I may, however, »b well obtain it for ihl fiuff-rerisinonect'aem which I have boon mixed up. Only to day I have been trying repeatedly to obtain from rail way officials some slight considers*ion for a trooppj m a second case whose belongings have gone astray on thn line, and have been treated by some with prompt consideration and by others with callous contempt, aa wa^ the yonojjj fellow's mother before rnw. Possibly this last cibb may come right, bb I have telegraphed a vigorous cony plaint to Mr Ward ; if not, I may trouble you with it later. Meanwhile, the only benefit derived has beea to the telegraph revenue The other case, however 3 is much worse. Over seven raontls ago Trooper Sim, of Bunbaek, was killed m ac ion, with five of his troop com rades, under General Bu'ler, at the momentous storming of Laing's Nek. He had put his money m the Natal Government BanV, and his boxes m alleged safe keeping m Dur ban. Hie kit, ia accordance with the cheerful military custom (I am told), was sold as soon as he was dead ; but bis father, who is a rail way surfaceman at thinback and his sister, who also lives here, thought they had eon.9 chance of getting the boxes and the money. They have been trying for over six month*, and an enormous amount of corn -; ondence h?s paesfd . between some (\^z en of us (including the military) m Duuback, Dauedin, Wellington, Durban, Capetown, etc, with the following resulfs— 1 The boxes are a' l^ged from Durban to have been shipped direct thence to Mr Sim by the Whakatane or the Kaoaara [this itself is a little vague], but both those vessels arrived long ago without a trace of anything of the kind 2'The trooper's watch, chain, etc, specially left to his sister, have disappeared from view 3 The money deposited m the Sav ings Bank has been sent from there, not to those entitled to it, but to the 5 Court of Adjustment at Capetown.' The optimistic Savings Bank man, of couraej ' presumed' we should get ie from there some months ago (we hold quite an extraordinary number of these written ofiicial 'presumptions' that some other official would do all that was desired), but equally of course nothing more has been beard of it. The chief military authorities m Wel lington, and a lawyer-officer whom I also consulted m despair, express them selves as utterly unable to explain why such an extraordinary course should have been taken with the m m's money, .anyhow, after seven months, it is somewhere —Heaven knows where— about Capetown. Now, however, sotm thing has really turned up as the result of all our inquiries, and of about a solid foot m thickness of lottery etc. Among others, I had been worrying the life out of my own commercial agpnts after these trunks ; and a shipping clerk m th? effice passing the Waihora one day at the wharf chanced to see m her slingß a box with the name ' Sim 'on it. No advice of it had been received. He communicated with me (warning me at the same time somewhat uneasily of its curious disproportion to the bulk of ray communications), and I with the Sims ; and amid much sorrowful excitement on the latter'a part the box at last reached them. Whnfc purported to be the poor fellow's trunks {the Durban lodging house-keepcr had owned by litter to two trunk*) turned out to be a decayed gin box, containing as follows : Some fragtaentary remains of a mackintosh, apparently not Bisn's ; a rag of ditto cloth, with another man's name on it ; two pairs of worn out riding pauts ; and a horse's feed bag, foil of oats—the latter playfully chucked in,nodoubf, by some sportive official at Durban, offended by the pestilent important ties of a mere common trooper's relatives. These had been forwarded from Durban, via Capetown and Melbourne, through three sets of agents, so as to gither a good healthy crop of charges ob the way. A job lot at 4|d, case thrown m, would be a generous description of the consign ment. Following it, by mail to Miss Sim, was a fine collection oi several long blue bills, containing a maltiplicity of charges amounting ia all to £1 16s 9d, aed a cheerful intimation that the rest would be made up m New Zealacd and added to it. I suppose we may guess the ultimate total at, say, £3. I do not wish to beg for sympathy for this poor working family m their chagrin, as I pass over a not unaffacting interval and proceed to the next step, which Was to send the papers (includ ing the long blue bills) to Wellington and aek whether the Defence Cffice coald spare £3 to save the colony the disgrace of adding this cruel insult and hardship to the sorrows of the dead trooper's bereaved ones. I have jast got the reply, They deeply sympathise etc., etc.—but the £3 No. Miss Sina to whom this brave fellow left, by will hia'little all just before he fell, must pay that, because she has duly come m to possession of somebody elae's cast off rags, a gin box, and a whole feed of oats It serves her right ; she should not have let her brother go climbing up a dangetous place like Laing's Nek when there were known to be roars about.— I am eto A D Bell.

Terrible Feelings. Loss of Sleep. Impurities oftea accumulate m the i blood until they produce the most dangerous symptoms of poisoning. The appetite is lost, digestion weak ened, and nerves exhausted. Mrs. F. Flynn, of Adelaide, So. Aus tralia, sends us her photograph and says: " I used to have terrible feeling® tome over me. The doctors could do me so good. I could not sleep, my appetite left me, and I was a moult j miserable woman indeed. Hayiaffreadot 1 Sarsaparflia I thought I would try it. To my great sur- , prise, after taking only two bottles I found myself very much better m every way. After taking six Dottles all my disagreeable feelings left me, and I was completely cured."
