Scanty News from Natal. Large English Losses in Killed and Captured. Three Hundred of One Command Fail to Answer at Hoil Call?Imported Via Paris that MafekiDg Had Fallen?The Delagoa Route to be Opened. London, November 4, 4:05 a. m? There is very little fresh intelligence today, but it is believed that the Delagoa Buy route, if not restored, speedily will be, thus giving quicker communication with the Cape. The situation is still hopeful. The accounts continue to arrive regrading the fighting on Farquhars farm only confirms its serious nature and the*narrow escape of Gan. "White. It now appears that it was only the arrival of the naval contingent from the Powerful which prevented a worse disaster. It seems that it was seen that retirement was imperative, two Natal cavalrymen volunteered to convey a dispatch across the Boer lines to Col. Adye, ordering him to retire, but the risk was considered too great and flag signaling was employed instead. The distance was too great and the i e 1 l ? t ^ ground too rougn ior cavairj w iu his assistance. According to dispatches filed Tuesday, defensive works were being constructed on the hills aroud Ladysmitb, and it was expected that the naval guDs would be mounted the following day. The Boers were threatening to attack the town in force on Wednesday and Thursday aDd the women, children and other non-combatants were being sent by train to the south. Ladysmith i8 provisioned for two months. Paris and Berlin continue to supply statements of British reverses, the latest being that Mafeking has fallen. Delayed dispatches from the British camp at Ladysmitb, Natal, add little information regarding Monday's fight except the estimates of the Boer losses, which are now said to be 95 killed and 209 wounded, mostly victims of the artillery shell?, which have wrought such great havoc that it is said Geo. Joubert, the Boer commander in-chief, has written a letter to Gen. White, the British commander, protesting against the use of Lyddite. The following is a detailed revised report of the total British casualties I among the rank and file at Farquhar's farm: Artillery, 4 killed, 29 wounded, 85 missing; cavalry, 2 killed, 9 wounded, none missing; First King's Rifles, 1 killed, 32 wounded, 21 missing; Second King's Rifles, 8 killed, 29 I wounded, 16 missing; Leicester regiment, 2 killed, 18 wounded, 4 missing; Dublin Fusciliers, none killed, 6 wounded, 1 missing; Irish Fusciliers, 10 killed, 41 wounded, missirg unknown; Giouchester regiment, 30 killed, 53 wounded, 330 missing. Eogineers and naval and colonial force?, none Killed, i wounaea, none missing. Revised total, 57 -killed, 227 wounded, 473 missing, the last mentioned not including the Irish Fusciliers. A significant fact indicating the hasty character of Gen. White's retreat to Lidysmith is the number of men captured, apart from the members of the Gloucester and Irish Fuscili6rs taken prisoners. LondoD, Nov. 3.?The war office this afternoon leplying to inquiries, said no information had been received fhorn r\f frosili "Finer movements at Colenso or elsewhere, and it was added the officials were Dot aware if the railroad to Ladysmith was intact or not.

After the heavy bombardment Gen. Cronje asked the town to surrender. Col. Baden-Powell was asleep when the messenger arrived, but on being awakened, received him hospitably and politely replied: "I will let you know when we have had enough." London, Nov. 4 ?The Daily Mail publishes the following dispatch i from Ladysmith dated Wednesday morniDg: Matters today are quiet. Boers are apparently mounting more heavy guns to the north and north east, which are likely to give us trouble. A Boer contingent, 1,5:J0 strong, and clearly visible from the camp, is coming away toward the south. The inhabitants of Ladysmith continue to leave town. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years 'by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells hew such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helplees for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone.

The following story may account for the smallnes8 of some men's gifts when a collection is taken: A boy, on starting to church one Sunday, was given, by his father, a nickel and a twenty-five cents piece, and told that he put either th9 one or the other into the contribution box. Uq the boy's return no was asked which coin he had contributed. He thereupon explained that the preacher had said that the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, and added. ' I knew I could give the nickel a good deal more cheerfully than I could give the quarter, so I threw in the nickel and kept the quarter." Many men can give a nickel a good deal better than they can a quarter. Wh:r3 Tlwy Differed.

Tbe amount of pea and other kind of hay has never been bo large. Five years ago there was not a single hay mower in this portion of the county and now the music of four can be heard in the hay fields around. Never before have I seen as many 'fields of pease picked and the vines left for improvement and the promise of the largest small grain crop of wheat, oats and rye in our history will soon tell the story of independence. Another addition of a portion of lands for pasturage will be the outgrowth of all thi3.

This acre is only the equal of several more in the same field of twenty-five acres, and was not a selected pet prepared for a large yield as many of us can testify. It i3 cheaper and easier to raise cotton that way than to make a half bale per acre?or one on three acres.

You see they generally ship the medicine and glassware separately, to dodge a clause in the the tariff schedule and some chap running a store at the other end of the orders.

It Hade a Difference. A man was sitting in an easy chair at the Iler Grand the other evening in company with several others, and the talk gradually drifted to the trust conference that had been in session in Chicago. After the matter had I been aired thoroughly from all points nf view. this man settled hack in his chair, took two or three puffs at his cigar, smiled a little and then said: "All this talk about trusts reminds me of a man I used to know over in Iowa. He lived a neighbor to me over there, and he belonged to the Grange, the forerunner of the Populist party. This man was dead set against trusts. He bated the trusts worse than a tramp hates work, and he was always haranguing upon the the evils of monopolies. "Now, it happened that one spring all the farmers in the neighborhood had trouble in getting their seed corn to grow. They planted the corn as usual, but hardly a kernal of it would come up. There was consternation among them until it was found that the man who hated trusts so savagely had a peculiar sort of corn that would grow. As soon as this fact was bruited about there was a pilgrimage toward this man's farm, and everybody bought some seed corn. "Of course I wa9 in the same boat with the rest of them, and I went over one day to get a few bushels to plant. 1 had the stuti loaded in the wagon and aeked him the price. He replied that it was Si.00 per bushel. As corn was selling in the market at , 20 cents at that time, my eyes Hew open in surprise, and I asked him if be did not think that pretty steep. "'Well,' replied the trust hater, 'this is all the corn in the neighborhood that will grow, and I can get a $1.00 a bushel for it.' ' I hauled out the money and paid it over; but a3 I did so I slyly asked him if he did not consider that he .-7&S operating a monopoly. He looked down his nose a little, and then glanced up with the|ftmark: "'Perhaps so, but I am interested in the trust myself, and it makes a difference.' ' He never preached against trusts to me after that."' Warned. "Did I understand you to say somethin' about teachin' the young idea how to shoot?" asked a Clay county, (Ky,) citizen.
