I attended tho rouuion at Sandy Springs last wook, and Col. Orr so fully expressed my sentiments in his able stylo that I oould but wish that ovorybody could have heard him. Witlt force and clo quouco ho portrayed tho hardships and privations endured both by tho soldiers and their wives and mot hers, and urged that their last days, of which t hero will not bo many, bo made free from want and caro; that small, comfortable cot tages bo provided for thom iu each county, HO that they nood not bo far from friends and old noigbbors. Lot tho aged wifo (Ind a homo there with her husband. Tho cost, of establishing such homos and maintaining thom need not bo groat. In fact, tho contributions mado by the people to a homo in their midst would bo a largo foaturo in its support. Tuero arc serious objections to tho establishment ,f ono contrat homo. Many deserving and needy votorans would not consent to go so far away from familiar faces and scenes. Thore would bo dan gor of too much red tapo, too much for mality and too much power centralized. Lot tho homes be established in each county, and tho days would bo enlivened by visits from old friends and acquaint ances and from tho BOUS and daughters Of old friends. .Something moro than food and shelter is needed.

London, August 18.-Tho Freeman's Journal, of Dublin, publishes an inter view botweon Mr. Kruger and William Redmond, in Hitvorsum, Holland, in tho course of which tho former President of tho South African Republic, expressing gratitude for Irish support, said ho re garded tho Irish as "brothors in oppres sion" and urged tho Nationalist members of the British Parliament to continue tboir "efforts in tho cause of justico and truth." Whoo asked concerning tho offect of Lord Kitchener's recent proclamation and Mr. Chamberlain's speeches, Mr. Kruger replied: "My people aro not to bo frightened by such proclamations or speeches, which will only encourage thom to continue fighting." Tho british havo used armed natives against the burghers from tho beginning, but wo have not used armed Kafllfs. It has always boen against our principles to uso tho black mon against tho whito." Mr. Kruger emphatically denied the existence of a Dutch conspiracy against British influence, in South Africa. When asked regarding Croat Britain's promises as to treatment of tho Boers after sur render, ho said: "I know (heat Britain's promises. You in Ireland ought also to know thom. Tho British promise to lond us money to put things right. Then, if it wero not paid, our land would ho taken. They ask us to allow a ropo to bo put around our necks and to call that freedom. Wo should bo sift VOS." Aftor expressing bis linn conviction that Cod, in good time, would give the Doers deliv erance, ho remarked: "Even now wo could rebuild our country, hut to do so wo must havo full independence." Ho omphasi/.cd tho word "full." When asked about farm burning and tho con centration camps, ho exclaimed: "Why do they fight women and oh i ld ron? , There aro our men to light against. I do not believe tho British pooplo know what is being done in their name. If , they did know they would stop it." Mr. Kruger said nothing had been definitely settled on tho subject of a visit to tho United States. According to Mr. Red mond, his appearance belies tho report that ho is breaking down either mentally or physically. Fair Play Nows.
