THE WAR IN TRANSVAAL.

COWARDLY CONDUCT OF THE DUTCH.

ENGLAND ASKED TO TAKE POSSESSION.

We have received from the Colonial Office the following copy of a telegram from Sir Henry Barklv, dated Cape Town, August 25th :— Army of President totally routed; deserters pouring into Pretoria; Sickakuni pursuing in force: meeting at Landroosfs Office, Leydenberg, n."Teedto ask British Government to take over Transvaal; Volksraad summoned September i. Accounts from Cape Frontier most satisfactory: friendly meeting■ between Secretary Native AUUirdandKreili." A lady thus describes what, 33 «-,) ing on in the Transvaal: " Though I only posted ihv last letter two days ago, still I begin another t ) let you know what is going on. \ esterday 1 we it to see the loyal tribe, who were coming to h -ip us, enter the town. I don't think such a Sight will be seen again for a long time, ihey say there were 5,000 men, all black, arrayed in various skins, chiefly wilk cat and leopard; their heads one mass of huge feathers, sacking up in all directions, the tails of wild beasts hinging round their almost naked bodies, and large shields made of skins also. It was so awful it made me shudder; should such an army as is daiiv expected enter as an enemy, I think it would lull me with fright. They marched along sin insr a war song, with now and then a sort ol hiss which was most frightful. I spoke to some ul Lhcin • they were of polite and gentle manner to me I said to one, ' Now. don't kill the women or the children, and don't torture any one. lie looked at me, put his hand to his month, blew through it, and said,' We shall blow these rebels off the earth, and not one shall remain, but we will not torture.' They all admired my jacket with astrakan on it, and asked where 1 got it. Of course I told them great ladies always wore such fur. To-day at daylight the battle was to beg.n about eighty miles from this. We were to attack the enemy stealthily. We can hear the cannons roar as 1 write. A boy from tins house left yesterday; he was only nineteen, and all day young men were dropping in to say farewell. The whole town is in trouble—husbands, sons, and brothers gone, and such a few left to defend the town, and such bad management. All night rebel Kaffirs were expected to take advantage of- the troops having gone, but we passed a pcaaceful, though wakeful, night. The Gold Fields people, they say, have written to implore the English to come to our rescue, and the Pre sident says, if such is the case, the English will be treated as rebels, but the Kaffirs say they respect the English and only want to kill the Dutch The first battle is over, lhe Kaffir Chief has just come in to tell the news. They surrounded the rebels in their stronghold and killed every one. One or two men who have been through the Franco Prussian war say they never saw anything like the pluck of the Amaswa,zics (the loyal tribe); they rushed on the enemy, attacked their fort, surrounded by high stone walls, stood on each other and leapt over on the heads of the enemy in the hottest firing. But there is great disappointment; the Amaswazies say the white men looked on while they (the black) fought. These friendly Kaffirs are now so angry because these cowardly Boers never fired a shot, and you would quake if you could only hear their row as I write." Accord ing to the information received through Router's agency there appears no probability ot the Transvaal government being able to defeat the Kaffirs for a long time, and fears are entertained that the war may spread. It was expected that when the Legislature met there would be a dis cussion on a motion in favour of asking the British Government to take over the country.

"ANTIMACASSAR," UNDE DERIVATUR?

The following, in reply to a query as to the derivation of the word antimacassar, has been overlooked till now : —

Wife (pointedly)-- Where heads oleaginous lazily 1011, and Sully the beauty of fauteuils and couches, (Dimming their lustre with unctuous smouches), Necessity, ever the dam of invention, Applies this device as a happy prevention " Anti"—against—" the macassar of Rowland.

Husband (profanely)— The way the things slip is a bother, Fannie, They tickle my neck, and they stick in my hair, And cling to my coat when I rise from my chair. 'Tis utterly sick of the nuisance I am ! If necessity truly you say is their dam, Then truly of many a (hem !) she's the Grannie.

Some of my friends, who have also been using these medicines, speak very favourably of them, and have received much benefit from their use.—(Signed), Oiuielia "Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your.Ghol lah's Rheumatism Mixture has proved in my case to be all that you have represented it to be ; and for the sake of those who may bo suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, sudi as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine 1 beg to state that 1 had been Buttering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism for over two years. I could not rest at night. My appetite was gpne, my general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting better all or taking three bottles of it. I continued taking the medicine for about six weeks, and became perfectly restored to health, being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms ot Rheuma tism.

I am happy to state that I am now free from the pains 1 had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well at night, my appetite and'general health are much unproved, and I can attend to my business and house duties.

I am now free from all pairi, and well in my health, and have the free use of my hands and feet, which I had not previous to taking your medicine.
