There are no days like the good old days— The days when we were youthful; When humankind were pure of mind And speech and deeds were truthful; Before a love for sordid gold Became man's ruling passion And before each dame and maid became • Slaves to the tyrant fashion. There are no girls like the good old girls— Against the world rd stake 'em— As buxom and smart and clean of heart As the Lord knew how to make 'em. They were rich in spirit and common sense, A. piety all supportin; Theyneould bake and brew and had taught school, too, ' And they made the likeliest courtin. There are no boys like the good old boys . When we were boys together, When the grass was sweet to the brown bare feet That dimpled the,laughing heather, When the pewee sung to the summer davrn Of the bee in the billowy clover, Or down by the mill the whippoorwill Echoed his night song over. There is no love like the good old love— The love that mother gave us. We are old; old men, yet we pine again For that precious grace—Cod save us. So we drearn and dream of the good old time, And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder, •.A8 those dear old dreams bring.soothing gleams Of heaven away off yonder. , To Save Hu Child, From frightful disfigurement Mrs. Nannie Galleger, of La Grange, Ga., applied Bucklen's ArD ica Salve to great sores on her head and face, and writes its quick cure exceeded all her hopes.

The troops met with a much more enthesiastdc •re-- ception than. I 'anticipated. The third battalion of the Grenadier Guards, lined the square when the march ,past took place. Owing to their having been on duty at some distance around the town, very few cavalry and infantry were able to take part in the ceremony, Several of our officers who had been prisoners were among the onlookers." KRUGER'S BLUSTER. Says That the Transvaal Capital Is Where Me Is and That Me Won't Be Taken a Prisoner. London, June 8. -- (,3 a.m.)—The execu,tive offices of the Transvaal Government are in a rallwa,y car, which is shunted on, a switch at Ma- chadorp station. President Kruger caused the interior of file coo.e1i to be reconstructed some time ago, with a view to contingencies' that have now arrived. A correspondent of The Daily Express, who went from Lorenzo Marquez to , see President Kruger, was received yesterday. The President sat smoking a long pipe. He looked worried, but his .bearing was -quiet' and determined. He did not make the least objection to be- ing interviewed. The correspondent was equipped ler the interview by cables from London. "1/es,"said President Kruger, ``it is quite true that the British have occupied Pretoria. This, however, does not end the war. The burghers are fully determined to fight to the last. They will never surrender so long as 500 armed men remain in the country. I feel. deeply encourag- ed by the fine work Steyn and Dewet are doing in the Free State." The correspondent suggested that the war was over, inasmuch as the capital had been taken. "The capital," exclaimed Mr. Kru- ger, with energy; "what is a capital? It does not consist of any particular collection of bricks and mortar. The capital of the Republic, the seat of Government, is Here in this car. There is no magic about any special site. Our country is invaded, it is true, but it is not conquered, The Government is still effectiven' Referring to the reasons why he left Pretoria, he said,: "I was not foolish enough, to be *taken prisoner. I provided this means of locomotion for the same reason as our burghers supply themselves with horses -when they take the field. It is necessary that I should be able to move easily from place to place. That is all. By and by this car will take me back to Pretoria. For the present, It enables me to keep away from I'retoria,, where I could' be of no ser- vice, and where I should only play into the hands of the enemy." "They say, Mr. Kruger," remarked the correspondent, "that you have brought with you geld to the value of £2,000,000." "It is not true," replied the Presi- dent. "Whatever monetary resources may have with me are simply those which we require for state purposes. • At the same time, I am not going to tell you where our treasure is. Let Lord Roberts find it if he can." "They also say in England, Mr. Kruger, that you contemplate taking refuge on a Dutch man-of-war at Lorenzo IV lrquez." That egain is a lie," retorted the President with vehemence. "it know of no Dutch vessel. I arn not con- templating taking refuge anywhere. I shall not leave my country. There will be no need for me to do any- thing of the kind." , The correspondent—Then, Sir, there is much surprise' at your having left Mrs. Kruger behind. President Kruger—But why?, Mrs. Kruger is quite safe in Pretoria, She would only be put to personal incon- vemence here. All communication between us is stopped, of course; but she will await my return with calm- ness and courage. She is, a brave worna,n, 1 am here awaiting further information. We are surrounded by faithful burghers and are qtifte safe, State Secrete ry Reitz roma rked : "You may depend upon it that, the war is not yet Over. Guerilla war- fare will contintte over an enormous area. We intend to fight Co the bit- ter end and shall prohahly retire upon Lydenburg, where we can hold out for many months," "Yes," observed Mr. Kruger, "it is only now that the real struggle has begun. T fear that there will still be Leech bloodshed, but the fault, is that exclatmeth "The time has passed for us to talk. We have done plenty of (changed every Wednesday) EXETER MARKETS, that, but it has done us no good. There is nothing left for us to do but to keep on fighting, to keep on fight- ing," The correspondent who secured the interview trelegraphed it immedaitely from Machado* Station yesterday, when the wires were working as us- ual to Lorenzo Marquez, CABLE; 1,1103I BULLER.

Boers Destroy Railway at Itoodeyal North lirouoscud. London, June 11.—(8.30 a, m.)— The Boers have torn up 21 miles of -Lord Roberts' vital line of railway 1Detwee0 America Siding and Roode - val.. It is a bold raid, and vexa- tious, but does not disquiet the mili- tary authorities as yet, for they ex- pect General Kelly -Kenny to drive off the marauders and to reopen the line. - The rapidity of the advance of Lord Roberts cannot have permitted him to accumulate large reserves of stores. Therefore, the interruption of the railway, even for a week, must embarrass the army, and man bring the forward operations to a standstill. Nothing has been heard from Lord Roberts for three days. This raid on the railway, the strenuous oppos- ition to Gen. Rundle, .and the nimble escape of Commandant Gen. Botha es division, forced the War' Office observ- ers t� the reluctant conclusion that, the war is not yet over, although even the occasional civilian, Boer sympathizer cannot see how the Boers will be able to do anything to change the result. Gen. Buller is in Boer territpre. Despatches of correspondents wite him, filed yesterday at sunset, de- scribe the corps as camping at Gaa- solei, ..closa;, to tile point where the frontiefs of the Free Stane, tee Transvall and Natal meet. "The British marched eight miles yesterday," says a Reuter corres- pondent, "before encountering any opposition. The Boers, who had one gun, withdrew under heavy ordnance fire to a ridge just ahead of the camp." The longerange, running skirmish will doubtless be resumed this morn- ing. General Buller is expect- ed to make rapid progress now, and to throw the weight of 20,000 men into Lord Roberts' Transvaal combination. The Beers in Three Columns. London, June 11.—Gen. Sir Forest- er Walker wires to the War Office from Cape Town under yesterday's date as follows: "Information receiv- ed from natives early yesterday (Sat- urday) reports the enemy in three columns near Honing Spruit. The railway has been: almost completely destroyed between America and Rooi- deval." Hunter at Ventersdorp. Lichtenburg, aline 7, — Gen.

It In One of the Most Unhealthy Spots on the Globe. In Site of all the precautions that have been taken, the perfect sanitation of the city, the fine natural drainage, the cleanliness of the streets, Hong- kong is one of the most unhealthful spots on the globe. With its tropical heat the lofty peaks that half encircle it catch the clouds that the rapid evaporation create, and they are squeezed like a spoug,e, the floods of rain pouring down in streaming tor- rents. The houses lack light, although they are built as well as they could be, with perforated ceilings, through which the air circulates, admitted from openings pierced by the outer walls. The floors are brilliantly waxed, carpets, owing to the great dampness, being dispens- ed with. The great difficulty is to se- cure light and proper ventilation. The streets are very narrow, and the tower- ing walls of buildings opposite ob- struct the light in front, while at the rear the courts of terraces crowded with foliage cast a heavy shade from that direction. In the gardens, while plants flourish luxuriantly, there is no grass, but the ground is green with moss, jnst as it grows in damp, shady places in cooler climates. The heat and the great humidity are destructive to health, and it is doubtful if there is a single normal liver in the whole of Hongkong. English. women who come out with complexions of cream, and roses grow thin and sallow. The Hongkong com- plexion is a startling grayish green, and the old resident has with this pal- lor dark bluish circles under the eyes. The least exertion includes exhaust- ing perspiration, and people become gaiint'and thin. ' The lInb,tt Finest.

If the skin has spots, eruptions, an unhealthy pallor or a yellow appearance, and the a glazed look, with yellowish whites, it is high time to parify and cleanse the blood and regulate the liver and kidneys. Paine's Celery Compound pure, bright red blood. and relieves the liver and kidneys of the strain that is brought upon them whenever impure blood is pouring through their substance. It has been proved by iminent medi- cal men that Paine's Celery Compound supplies that needed and appropriate food that overworkecl nerves are too feeble to extract from ordinary food taken into the stomach. Paine's Oel- ery Compoand increases the appetite and puts the digestive organs into shape to pass the food over to the blood in such a perfectly prepared con- dition that the change into nerve. brain and tissue substance is eaisly and fully brought about 'without waste of nervous energy or wear upon the liver, kidneys or stomach. In a word, Paine's Celery Compound builds up the w ea k, wnsting and dis- eased, body; it gives all the conditiote of health that guarantee a long and happy life.
