General Buller and His Critics.

UNPUBLISHED FACTS,

General Sir Redvers Buller has surely come in for a full share ot oriticlsm Literary guns have been loosed off at him by Boer and Briton, and now a hostile .hell is fired by a writer in an American magazine circulated here, In which the General is accused of having spoiled Lord Robert's plan'by not moving at once after ihe relief of Ladyamith. Some hots hitherto nob made known may help the latest amateur strategist and many of his fellows to understand how things stood at the period of whioh he writesi Buller's relitvlng force was ; almost worn out, yet wab full of grit and anxious to go forward; but there were few horses available. Of White's army, few men were fit for duty, and the cavalry regiments could not have mounted fifty men each. Then Lord Roberts drew from Buller a brigade division of artillery, a field hospital, an infantry division, and the fittest cf his transport. Added to this, some pom poms, supplies, and doctors sent from England to Buller at his request, were intercepted by tbe Com mander in Chief, and Sir Redvera was nob in a condition to move. Doubtless the writer I refer to !s, Hke many others, of c pinion that when the relief of Ladysmith was accomplished Buller had a good and fresh army, fully equipped, at his command, and that he should have pegged after the heels of the enemy as he made towards Pretoria. Buller did as he was ordered. He (remained on the defensive, and could not have done otherwise with hfs depleted army.— Pall Mall Gazette.

Life in a Harem

! Writing of the harem of the Grand Vizlir of Morocco, in the 'Leisure • Hour.' Mrs Bishop says it would not j be seemly to express opinions in detail on the household of the Vizier, but I i may say that the experience of that long day greatly intensified my hatred of the system of polygamy, which is unspeakably degrading to men as well as women, and destroys the mental and moral natures of the children born under it The 'ladies' found time hang " heavily on their bands, They draok a I syrupy infusion of tea and mint con stantly, and as constantly ate moisfe sweetmeats, and ' tables ' loaded with substantial food were frequently brought to each by slaves, who seemed on a footing of equality with their mistresses. Babies were nursed, older children were played with, and tho sores on their heads * mollified with ointment': nails and finger-tips were restrained with henna, the shadow be low the eyes was darkened with anti mony, and the jewels were displayed to envious gazere. Occasionally some of the livelier spirits strummed on the pianos with one finger, or seta musical box going, or took a hot bath ; some I romped with tbe boy eunuchs and got m, few lashes from the duenna, but eating and sleeping curled up on the floor were the chief avocations. At 11,30 el Menebbi entered, and the inferior slaves scuttled away to their quarters. He said to me, em phasising the words with his fingers 1 tiuhan, he work, work, work!' by which I understood that my audience was postponed. Shortly after a eunuch made me understand that Kaid Mac lean was outside, and he told me that the Sultan was occupied with impor tant despatches received from Tangier, that be probably could not see me till after three, and that be feared I most consider myself a prisoner ! i So the weary hours passed till 3 p.m. varied only by the constant reception of their lord's sentence, ' Sultan, he work, work, work !'-~which was always received with a chorus of untutored laughter.
