HIGH JINKS AT OTAHUHU.

The Salvation Army on the

Warpath.

(from our war correspondent.)

The usually quieb township of fair Otahubu was lasb nighb a sight for the pods to sdo. The marching oub of tho " Amy " as a masquerade of " All Nations " was a treat; and all Otahuhu turned out to wit' ness the extraordinary sight. As

your war correspondent I had to be to the front and I herewith send you a true account of one of the most stirring spectacles I have ever "witnessed. lne vanguard was composed of horsemen, re splendent with red coats, white turbans, tri colour sashes, and their Salvation medals, won after a hard fight with the king of darkness. Thencamebhewarchariot.drawn by a pair of greys. In it were seated twelve lovely innocenb, and unmarried lasses—{all, perhaps, eager and willing to get husbands or to save souls !), then the band followed, playing "The Dead March," whilst the unsaved larrikins sang a chorus to tho tune of " Old Aunt Sally!" Tho Army marched through the streets very quickly, and disappointed many of their admirers. Arriving afc the Barracks, they displayed to the left, and then the

Battle of Rotten Bgffs commenced. One (at least twenty years old by the smell) struck the standard bearer, and aa he " leaned urjon his sword and wiped away " tha horrible stuff, he shouted " Glory, glory, fire away boys !' And fire away they did, for another egg—a grandmother of the first batch) struck your war correspondent, and he had to re tiro to the Star Hotel for a reviver.

By this time the barracks was full to overflowing, and" two backsliders (as a warning to others) were placed as sentries at the door. These wore dressed as Sepoys. "That's Nana Sahib "—said on© young infidel — " he as throwed Miss Wheeler down a well." "You are a confounded pervertor of tho truth " re torted the sentry, " Wo only throw sinners down the well of mercy." Fifty amens and a couple of rotten eggs stayed tho sentry's remarks and then the band, now , inside the Barracks began to play the over popular waltz "Marching through Georgia. About this time a rush was made by an unruly crowd, and "ohnck 'em out " and " chuck 'em in " were tho cries of tbo evening. Soon, however, a brawny son of tho Emerald Isle.

An Irish Highlander,

camo as a reserve "ch'uckor out," and peace was made. Tho prayers and tho coffee supper were very good and by eleven o'clock this long talked of " Marching bufc of God's Army " was a thing of the past and will be soon forgotten,all save the thunder ing of tho big drum, the horrible yells of tho bagpipes, and tho smell of the rotten eggs.
