Washington, March 14.?The B\ver of Lord Salisbury to the jHsage froui Presidents liruger d Steyn, which was transmitted rough our government, was re lved at a late hour last night by cretary llay, through Mr. lute, our charge at London. As ready indicated in the London Bpatchs, the answer ib a decli ition of the appeal. It has been ansmitted to Adelbert Hay, iiited States consul at Pretoria, ho will submit it to the two esidents. This marks the end the first overtures toward iace. It is believed here, how er, that another effort will Boon .1 _ I i.L - I > A. - _ L * iiihuh uy tut? Doers in ouiain ace, though recourse may be (1 to some other agency than e United States. The president has decided that is not proper at this time to ake public the text of the com uuications which have passed tween Pretoria, London and ashiugton relative to peace ne tiations. Therefore the Allen solution, adopted by the sen e, calling for the correspondice, must remain unanswered r the present, though there is asou to believe the cause for aintaining secrecy on this point ill soon disappear. It is stated, iwever, that the press dispatches ive indicated the silent features the correspondence with suffi Biit. accuracy and ab>ut the only nissum so far as can be learned is the failure to develop the ct that tho appeal of the Boer vernment that the United ates government might be alwed to intervene, was accom inied by an earnest expression ' the president of his willing !S8 to do anything in his power bring about the termination of e war, which he hoped might i attained. Lord Salisbury's re y, while firmly declining the quest of the Boer government, nvoyed his appreciation of the mmendable sentiments which spired the president's utter ices. Inasmuch as there appears to ' some confusion in the public iltd respecting the various ef rts made by the Boers to end e w.ir. it may tie stated that is particular correspondence ssing through the state depart ant, was separate and apart im the note addressed bv Bros eols Kroger and Steyn to near an inn coinineural powers Iip >ved to be io sympathy with fir e.uuse ami w?s hUo distinct, in th?? appeal addressed direct to Ii'?rd Salisbury by the two esid-rts. t<'iiiKrluil>l?'

Mr Kiutor :?1 think country life is one of the happiest and most independent lives that we can live. 1 think we have more sport, than any other people?such as hunting, fishing and also base ball, which is one of the greatest sports, hut I think fox hunting is taking the day at Magiil. I will tell of a hunt which I witnessed a few days ago On March 10th the "old hunter" thought it would be a good time to try a "red" as he always says. As the wind was not blowing and the moon shin ing brightly he decided to have a a hunt, two others joined him, viz: Messrs. Geo. Hell and John Wilson, they rode over to old "brother Smith's" about two miles where the gang were to meet lor the hunt that night. Old brother Smi h" and the "old hunter1' were always chums from their hoy hood days and when they net together and tell about their young days, it is great fun for us boys to sit and listen to them tell about hew they wept to see the gals and go to the parties and dance all night, and tell about a few old fox hunters too, but now they don't want the hoys to say anything about a little dance, especially "brother Smith" hut after a long conversation he tween the two a voice was heard from the kitchen come to supper.

Vanrenden is now one of the "men about town" and a very dashing fellow whose means of support are more or less invisible, A lew other friends dropped in and before long ti e little quiet game was progressing with a speed which made the hair of even the ailluent Mr. Clark curl with more than ordinary crimpi[ ness. It seemed to be somewhat inexplicable that every time the deal went round the scion of the Montana senator caught, not a bad hand, by any means, but one which his associates could just cover after having made the betting exceedingly lively Charley, of the house of Clark, wanted to be a sport, and he was game to the last, but when the game broke up after a sitting of over five hours the said Charley found out that he was just $10 000 to the bad. The Associated Press didn't, send out the story. The local papers didn't, print, the story, hut it is a fact, just the same, that the son of the muchly-silvered senator from Montana was not only lleeced of a fortune, hut was re strained from squealing because he realized that it would jeopard ize the chsncoRof his distinguished father in his battle for a seat in the most august, deliberative body on earth. Such are the inside chapters of ' * " og othor testimonials and valuable any address by the Swift Specific I was very hungry myself and this was the case with the others until they reached the table, but , thought the cooking would have 1 to begin the second time, for those ' awaiting though! the table was full and did not see any room tor I anything else. I thought my friend John W. would kill his fool self. The wav that poor fellow eat corn bread and buttered buiseuit and molasses, soda cake and red bread was a shame, besides about one half dozen cups coffee. He hasn't gotten over it yet but will leave him alone till ho does get better. 'Brother Smith' being very aged I thought he had given the hunting up to ' 'Dock' but I don't believe he has. By this time the band of hunter* had assembled. WiBon and Wil son, Croxton, Bostan Bell, the old hunter' and 'brother Smith', leaving about 7 o'clock, 'brother 1 Smith' riding 'Sol' leading the way.

Wo then rode on by the 1 old homestead of Mr. (irillin Wal ker but still we had not, up to i this time, got a trail and on by the home of Mr. Monan Walker we were then about one half mile from the old Roach place w lie it* ' 'brother Smith' said we would get i a race but we passed the old set tlement, a few hundred yards upon a little red hill where we dismounted for a rest, but still vie had not struck a trail; yet we sat upon that little red hill listening ' to the 'old hunter' and 'brother i Smith' tell more of their old tim<* i yarns.

We then mounted and oarno into the Camden road a short distance below 'anvil rock1 in front of an old gentleman's house. We then began blowing our horns.
