Boer rrisow, During one of the outpost skirmishes between the Englishmen and the Boers one of the latter had his horse shol under him, says a correspondent ol the Washington Tost. Seeing a British cavalry horse with out a rider, he captured it, and was riding away, when a bugler caught sight of him, and, putting his bugle tq, his lips, blew a shrill blast The horse wheeled sharply around, and, despite the strenuous efforts of his rider, galloped madly back to the British lines, while the Boer, unwilling to lose his prize, held on too long and was taken prisoner. 1 wl liv Forelcn Officer*. I There is a mistaken notion abroad tbat the operations of the Boers have been directed by European and American officers. This widely circulated statement contains scarcely a scintilla of truth. A few European officers and one American (Colonel Blake) are here. They may be men of ability for all I know, and competent to give the Boers excellent ^dvice. Other foreign officers would volunteer if they could i get commissions- in the republican army. The talent can easily be secured. But how devise a scheme to apply it? The Boers will net obey their own officers, much less foreigners.?Thomas F. Millard, in Scribner's. Followed the Emigrants.

He added a few more words on some other subject, and then he sauntered slowly away down one of the walks | of the garden and disappeared among the trees. As soon as he was out of siprht his whole appearance changed. He looked alert aud alive. He stood still a moment. glancing about him. "It is all folly, I know, but I am eoing to try to tind the bracelet for her. I should like to do that. Of course I cannot ask her to be my wife; she is the last person under the sun to be a poor man's wife. Her father would disinherit her, and how am I going to get her the fol-de-rols which are necessary to her existence?" "M"i" I*" ho Tvnc nrnon^r tlie dust covered goklen rod and grasses along the roadside. He went on tnus for half a mile, then he reached a turn, and retraced his steps on the other side of tlie way. He gave up the next three hours to a thorough examination of the space of road where tin* bracelet had been lost. Like all people who are looking for some lost article, it seemed to him that underneath every shrub, secreted behind every stone, he should lind the treasure. There is a wonderful fascination it such a search. Ir was not until dusk that Rowen gave it up for that daj*. and returned to the hotel in the village where he was staying. For the next two days ho was engaged in the same way, and ho did not see Miss Kent, who wondered at his absence. But why should she remember him? "Was not rich young Townsend, who was said to be "dying for her," really at her call? And were there not picnics and parties and excursions in which Mvra K'.'nt was the principal ligure? Rowen, asked himself if the girl kne w that she had not seen him. It was in vain tliat he scoffed at himself, for every hour in the day he must own that he loved her?that tho thought that he must live his life without her was so unhearable to him that he fought against it. On the fourth day from that on which the conversation on the balcony had been held. Rowen said that he would give tliis one day to the search, and. if the bauble was not found, he would summarily cut short the fascination which bound him?he would take tin- evening train to London. "I think I am losing my senses/' lie said, as lie strolled down the road, his eyes tixed on the ground, his cigar lorcottea betwen Lis liu& There was a rustic in the bushps, a shrill bark sounded, arid then out dashed a litlo sky terrier, who flew Jit Rowen in an exuberance of gladness at sight of him. Rowen stooped to cares the creature. | which belonged to Myra Kent, and [ was her constant companion. The young man's eyes glanced about, hoping* to see the dog's mistress; but no one appeared, and at last Rowen I was sure sue was 1101 near. Instead of point? back in a few moments the (lop kept near, and at last, ! when Rowen tried to drive him away, Alfred persisted in remaining. "You are not at all like your mistress," said Owen, with some bitterness. "She would not manifest such delight at being with me." [ ,- The man and dog went on slowly, and it was not until some minutes had passed that Rowen noticed that the terrior continually turned back and looked at him as if asking him to come. Idly at last Rowen turned and followed Alfred, who leaped a stone wall and tiew across a field covered with faded golden-rod. He uttered short barks of satisfaction as he went, and was constantly turning about to see that Rowen followed. He went faster and faster, so that finally Rowen was nearly running to keep him In fright Suddenly the dog leaped and scram bled down the steep bank of a fry water course, and when Ifyweifif c*fpe to the edge and looked down he uttered an exclamation of alarq^ and surprise, and then swung himself do"frn' from a birch tree and fell rather than walked to a place where lay a figure whose blue dress and bright scarf were familiar to his eyes. "Myrn!" he cried, as he flung himself down by her. All his love and agony were in that word. He had feared to find her senseless, dead, but she looked at him, and a faint smile came to her white lips. As she met his eyes, as the fire in them poured down upon her, a tinge of color came back into her face. "I think most of my ribs are broker^ and perhaps the rest of my bones," she said, with an effort at speaking as lightly as her words sounded. "But I've found my bracelet." As she spoke the last words her face turned deathly white, iand she sank still further back in unconsciousness. A quarter of an hour later, when life returned to her, she found herself supported in Rowen's arms, and before she opened her eyes she felt a pair of trembling lips pressed passionately upon her own. "Forgive me! Forgive me!" murmured Rowen. "I was wild?I thought you dead! May you never suffer as I have." She tried to withdraw herself, but he held her fast; he could not let her go. There was something in her iace that emboldened hiin, that ruade bis hopes rise intoxicatingly. "And now that I am not dead?" she whispered, at last. "Ah. now?now I will never let you go!" he exclaimed, holding her yet closer. "Have you ever guessed how I love you?" "Yes?I half fancied?but " was the low response. "But what?" "I dared not ,think of it because? because I was afraid I should discover that I loved you!" was the delicious reply. A few moments after he said: "I intended to have found that bracelet myself." "It's all the same," she said, shyly smiling, "since I have found it."? Spare Moments. A I?otr'? Warning: of Dentil. The ghost stories of the Airlies recall a curious little story told the other day by a young army surgeon who had just j come home invalided from the seat of,I war. It will be remembered that Major Ray was one of the officers killed at Magersfoutein on the terrible De- ? comber 11. He had left behind him his servant Bowne, at Michau's house, the headquarters of the mounted infantry camp, on the Modder River, and sleeping in the same tent with Bowne was the dog Drummer, the well-known <log of the Fifth Royal Fusiliers. Drummer was very much attached to Major Ray, which may account for the story. In the early morning Bowne was woke up by unearthly and mournful howling, and looking out he saw that it was Drummer, who kept on for auu-ie mm', uuu icius>cu iu uc wuiiui ied. Bownc afterward compared times, and found that the dog howled just at the moment when the spirit of Major Ray was passing out of this world. For days after the poor dog was wretched, refusing food and all consolation?he missed so much the officer to whose parting soul he had given the faithful dog's requiem.?M. A. P. , A ltaptium Blunder.

No less an authority than the Scientific News alleges that the use of beer is found i io produce a species of degeneration of all | ,he organs. Profound and deceptive fatty | deposits, diminished circulation, condi- ' tions of congestion and perversion of j functional activities, local inflammation : of both the liver and the kidneys are j constantly present. Intellectually,, a stu- | por amounting almost to paralysis arrests j the reason, cnanging all higher faculties into a mere animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger that are senseless and brutal. In appearance the beer drinker may be the nirt.nre of health, but in reality he is most incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury, a severe cold, or a shock to the body or mind, will commoniy provoke acute disease, ending fatally. Compared with inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol, he is more incurable and more gener- i ally diseased. The constant use of beer j every day gives the system no recuperation, I but steadily lowers the vital forces. It i? our observation that beer-drinking in this country produces the very lowest kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity.

The secret of the staying power of the mounted Boer lies, apparently, in the fact that he is not a better horseman, but a better horsemaster, than the British trooper or artillery driver. Hp knows to an ounce how much he can safely take out of his mount, and never calls on the beast beyond -that point. He nurses him always, tends him carefully at every opportunity, and knows how to doctor him the moment he Is knocked up.

The majority of the mounted Infantry have probably never had any instruction whatever in the management of horses otrt8ide-Wble?. Nor. is the-prevailing ignorance confined to the rank and file. If only officers understood all the niceties of nursing horses unier a heavy and prolonged strain, they would see that the right thing was done, but competent witnesses affirm that, though there are conspicuous exceptions here and there, the average cavairy or artil-1 lery officer never gives his attention to | such matters, apparently regarding the management of the horses in his command as a menial matter, to be left to the rank and file.
