MAJOR GOUGHS "CAMELRY."

The drilling of tho "Camelry" is thus referred to by tho special correspondent of tho "Standard":—"Every morning at 6 o'olock Major Gough takes out hia detach ment to parade. They strike across the desert, and practise advancing in line, and wheeling in sections of foura into column of route, dismounting rapidly—not always at the exact time or manner re quired—engaging imaginary enemies, and then making off again. And highly inter esting it is to watch our men manauvre their camels in military fashion. At first their lamentations at being compelled to take to that ungainly beast of burden as a means of locomotion instead of the clever little Arab horses they had left behind at Cairo, were general and genuine; but now the majority are more than reconciled to the change. They are beginning to discover that even for short distances a good trotting camel can get over the ground at a pace equal|to the smart canter of an ordinary horse; and for long marches, with scant supply of water and inferior food, the camel is superior beyond comparison. Moreover, he is developing a fair degree of intelligence. Already he knows as well as his riders many of the various words of command, and at the word 'halt' will pull up of a sudden like any veteran riding-school charger. He wheels well, he trots well, and moves with such regularity that, when a few hundred strong, a body of 'camelry,' as they are already called in camp, look not a little im posing. But when ordered to dis mount, the force becomes supremely ridiculouß. First, officers and men have all to imitate vigorously the gurgle by which their Arab masters were wont to request their camels to lie down—an uncouth sound which the Anglo- Saxon throat accomplishes with difficulty. Then there is a jogging and kicking of heels, and roaring of camels, with English accompaniment; this lists for a minute or so, until, one by one, all have subsided on the ground, when the men get off, and discipline, silence, and military decorum is restored. It is the same when mounting, and, indeed, one can hear a mile away the mounted infantry execute either of these movements, so great is the din, and so loud are the complaints to which men and camels give vent.

COLONEL WARREN'S VOLUN TEER TROOPERS.

Archibald Forbes wrote as follows in the "Adelaide Advertiser":—Concerning tho volunteor troopers going out to South Africa under Colonel Sir Charles Warren, to drivo the filibusters out of Bechuanaland, " They are not a squad of reckless 'ne'er do-weels,' and not tho sort of fellows, who, having tried everything at home and failed because of incurably dissipated habits, used to receive an outfit and get sent off to Australia, and whose destination of late has chiefly been Manitoba. Every man had to prove his character before he was taken on. That there are some strange characters in tho ranks is true; as, for instance, the Marquis of Queen6bery, who is quite mad, although a very clever fellow; but the majority are either men legitimately anxious for adventure, because this ' work aday ' world is too conventional and prosaic for them, or fellows whose gifts are not those which carry men to the front in the state of society where the head counts for more than the hands. A good many are ex-officers of the regular army, whose want of meane has forced them out of service. There aro stalwart young fellows who have been cadets, but who failed to pass exami nations which would have entitled them to commissions, younger sons of country gentlemen, militia officers, volunteers bitten with a keenness for real soldiering, and so on."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Germans as Colonists.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Assuming tho report upon Professor O. E. Hugo's lecture in the local columns of the " Herald" of Saturday to be correct, will you kindly grant me space for a few remarks thereon 7 The Professor, described to be a German, and a man of culture, in speaking of the Germans is reported to have said, "that they were opposed to progression, were not good colonists j Germany would never colonise; Germans were not fitted to colonise." Bold assertions these ! Tho history of Germany since tho Franco-German War must have shown, oven to a casual observer, that the very revorso is the fact, and I would point out to the Professor the enormous strides the country has made in its export trade, competing as it does, and most successfully too, with British manufacturers in British colonies and possessions ; and the enormous increase in its mercantile marine as well .as its navy. And has it not attained the leading position in European politics ? German doctors of medicine were specially summoned to France to watch and study the recent out break of cholera in that country. Is all this not progression ? As to Germans not being good colonists, the lecturer on tho art and science of character-reading can scarcely have completed his studies, and his opinion must just be taken for what it is worth. Does ho not know how highly tho Germans are prized in the Australian colonies—South Australia and Queensland rnoro especially, where to this very day im migration from Gonnany is assisted by Go vernment—for theirquiot, plodding industry and perseverance in manufacture as well as in agriculture, and their law-abiding dispo sition and domestic habits '! Does he know that Germans are the highest authorities in these colonies upon the study of tho soil, botany and zoology? Did he ever hear of Baron you Miieller and Dr. Richard Schomburgk, the directors of the famed Botanical Gardens in Melbourne and Adelaide respectively? And in our own New Zealand have we not a Dr. Julius yon Haast in Christchurch ? Have wo_ not in our midst a professor of music, higher than whom none ranks in New Zealand ? Did he ever hear of gallant Yon Xempsky, who gave his life for his adopted country ? And did he ever hear of the well-to-do fanners and vine growers in Australia ? Are they not good colonists? The man who produces two blades of grass where only one grew before is a benefactor to his country. "And Gormany would never colonise." Indeed! She has just commenced, and a very fair start she has made, I venture to say, or else why all those tears ? It is a dirty bird that defiles its own nest, and shame upon him who derides the country in which his cradle Btood! A professor and lecturer on physiognomy and character indeed! " Mundus vult decipi.ergodecipiatur. Dixi."—Yours, &c, G. Yon Der Heyde.

Alarms of Fire.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln the event of a fire I labour under the impression that much precious time is lost in breaking tho glass and pressing the knobs of the signal-posts and rii pr ng the alarm bells, Moreover, tfcfe former (and in my opinion the moou important) is oftentimes neglected. This

is followed by a man at tho i<- H ascending the observation totsPtS Albert-street and scanning the haffiflH all directions to detect tho eet9|H disaster and communicating it, nwv '*'■ %l detected," to the expectant firemen1 ■ w ffi all of this consuming very r nSip'-» momonts, for it should be remembeSi? lH a firo may bo raging "within" a faS I or store and no outward signs ofMIMW visible to theman on thelook-ontUntaWl! hadtakonafirmand,inmanycaseß.aho3 X hold on the building. Now, wore M&V discoverers of fires, instead of rate "* E tho fire-bells, to knock up the occupuS. ■"■ houses possessing telephones and if!] B No. 13, half the time at least wasted^'tftffl bo saved. Ido not believe there Ui^H in Auckland owning a telephone anJiid^H on tho premises but would wUlinalfßß out of bed on being called upon to-h'^ || and ring up Mr Hughes. Nq tim«,,S P be lost in finding a match to SB a candlo to read the nuaitetVTV tho poster, for every telephone Bubßeiii£'" knows that " Fire "is No. 13. .The ' 2 would be that the firemen would have ftrt' 1' a boe-line towards the burning, bußd long before the man on the lookout 2' have given the necessary informationore!!^ tho alarm bells rung.—l am, etc,, T^i Hannafokd, ''
