Lieutenanr Morant- A Remark able Character.

Lieutenant Harry Morant, the ex A« tralian, recently shot by court ma>tlal at Pi etorin, was a to -a hot n in the wrong country (writes ' M G' in the Australasian, Rockies., clever, and plucky to a fault, and provided with an easy going conscience and charming manners, he would . have been a leader of men a couple of oentariw ago, and might have atood bracketed In history with Francis Drake and Harry Morgan. Hie audacity was UiimlUbie, and he possessed such a faculty for making close friends with everybody he met that) it is b .range that he did not wriggle out of his last tragic escapade. After he cola* eluded his term of service as a war correspondent under Bennet Burleigh, Morant was wandering aimlessly about Pretoria, borrowing money with the ease which almost amounted to genius in hti case. One day he fell foul of a major In the Imperial army, and they had a quarrel from which the clever ex corporal emerged triumphant. Next evening the oholfcrio major attended a dinu.r party given by General Jingo Jones, and was astounded to find Morant seated at the table, holding the whole of the visitors enthralled with his smurto conversation. The difficulty of traveliiug over close railway lines was * an easy one' to Morant. One day he was . tranded at Heotorepruit, and was forbid' den to txavel to Pretoria by the special trait., expected during the afternoon, ' I wouldn't let the biggest general in tha army go through,' said the officer in charge, * unless he had X's order.' Morant smiled, 'Where is X.* he i abked, md learning that the Commander in Chief waa about five miles from the station, he galloped off, and returned tnnmp.t_.__nt to the astounded officer with with Lord Kitchener's signature to the cider. On another ocoason General Boiler was approaching the Springs station on his way to Pretoria, when Morant desired to travel by the train. Being denied the privilege, he asked, 4 Will it stop here The .fficer smiled sarcastically. * Oh, yes, it'll mop here, all right,' he said ; * you'll be able to sea it leave,' Moranc waited until the train drew up. approached an aide de camp, and after a few minutes' conversation stepped into the carriage aud took hia seat. The train moved off, leaving a score ot majors, colonels, and other officers of high rank who had vainly tried te secure seats, aud when it arrived in Pretoria, ex corporal Morant was seen seated in General Buller's private compartment, chatting affably with him. With all his question able doings, MortiDC retained In him a spark of old time chivalry, which shone out at the court martial, when he took the whole of .he blame for shooting the surrendered Boers on hia own shoulders, and endeavoured to shield his oomrade*.
