Forbes' Ride. n Hundred and Ten Miles on Six Horses in Twenty Hours from Ulun- di to Landman's Drift. a private letter Mr. Archibald Forbes, of the London Netw., speaks thus of his famous ride from Ulundi : "j[any men tried to dissuade me ; lay enterprise was freely characterized as "madness and d—d foolhardiness." Evelyn good was the last man to urge an objection, and when that had no avail, he gave me a telegram for his wife. The night was just falling as I rode up the steep, rugged track from the laager into the bush. I was riding a dark chestnut horse whose pluck and staying power I knew well, and I meant to test both. , My great effort vas to cover as much ground as possible be- fore it got quite dark, for I did not like the interval of pitchy darkness before the . moon should rise about eight o'clock. So I sent the chestnut allong at its best pace. It was a gruesome ride, and I would sooner be shot at for 'two hours at a stretch than do it again. There vas 110 road, only a confusion of wagon tracks through the long . grass, made by our vehicles in their advance. Everywhere the bush, in detached Grumps soma ten feet high, clustered thick around and among these tracks. I daren't smoke for fear the striking of a match might perchance betray me. All that there was for me was to trust to luck, see that the flap of my revolver ease was open, and keep the good Horse's head straight. "On we went, down into black gul- lies, where half a regiment might have lain hidden, through little patches of tall thorn brake, whose prickles tore rey clothes dud lacerated nay skin, stumbling over fallen trunks, wading through long, rank grass, always with ears cocked and every sense on its fullest tension. Several fires were visible through the bush foliage to right and to left, doubtless the night fires of straggling bodies of Zulus. Behind me seethed the Gehenna of the blazing Ulundi and the other kraals fired that day. Their lurid blaze helped me on after darkness fell, which they served to mitigate. But at length I came to a dead halt viear the region where the two columns camped on their march between the ridge of Entongeneni and. the White Umfaloosi. The multi- plicity of tracks confused .me. I had fairly lost my way. I could dimly see close to me the charied relics of the great Slipaue Kraal, and I knew I must be near a bog,,iuto which, if T. strayed, my horse at least would never emerge. There was no recourse but to halt where I was, and wait with what pa- tience I might for the moon to rise. I dare say she kept her time, but I must say I thought her shockingly slow. into a gill of boiling water and mix it I thoroughly together ; turn it out on the 1 879. rolling board, well floured, and roll it as thin and .cut out as for common cracknels ; put a bit of citron and a half dozen currants into each cake, sticking them into the dough. Bake it in a slow oven and watch it carefully, lest they brown a shade too deep. To make them crispy let them stand a day in an uncovered dish. A. Shrewd Scot. Sir John McNeill, a shrewd Scotch diplomatist, gained the repute of being the only European who ever got the. better of a -dervish. During the New Year festival the Persian religious men- dicants ply their vocation most vigor- ously, not merely asking for alms, but demanding such sums as • they deem proper, according to the rank of the giver. A dervish tried to extract an ex- travagant tribute from Sir John, and the ambassador proving obstinate, pro- ceeded to "sit upon him ;" that is to say, he established himself in Sir John's garden, just before his study windows, and relieved his feelings by making a hideous hullabaloo day . and night. The diplomatist was inclined to make short work of the nuisance, but was warned that violent measures would be dangerous. "Get rid of him if you oan," said his Persian advisers, "but do not touch him." Sir John sent for a bricklayer, and gave the order : `'Build a wall all round that howling beggar in my garden, and then roof 'it in." The dervish looked on composedly while the wall slowly rose around him, and made more noise than • before ; but when the roofing process commenced, and he awoke to the knowledge that it was really intended to entomb him alive, he clambered over the wall and rushed away like a madman, never to trouble McNeill again. "At length the great disc showed above the ridge, and illuminated the basin below. After a few casts I hit off the spoor, and in ten minutes more was climbing the open grassy slope that leads up to the standing camp on the Entongeneni. Here the chestnut was done, and right well had he clone ; but Major Upchor, of the 24th, who was in command, first ordered his meu a lot of runi each in honoi of the good news I brought, and then furnished me with a fresh horse and a party to guide me on the devious way. Steadily I rode on all through the bitter night under the moonlight without adventure, save an occasional missing and recovery of the road. I had' an escort for two stages, and then went on alone. I passed within a few miles of the spot where sortie days litter the bodies, pierced with assegai wounds, of poor young Scott Douglas and Corporal Cot- ter of the Lancers were found. About four in the morning the blinding fog came down, and then it was a case of groping for the track. On the hill above Fort Marshall the fog was so dense that I had to dismount and feel in the wet grass for the wagon -ruts leading down the steep slope to the fort. Once there, dear old Colonel Collingwood gave me some tea in the gray of the morning, and set `me up with a fresh horse. To make a long story short, I rode into Landman's Drift between two and three in the afternoon of the 5th, having ridden about one hundred and ten miles, using six horses. It was not much of a ride for speed—one hundred and ten miles in twenty hours ; 'but look' at the de- lays in losing and finding the road, in getting fresh horses, c ;e. I know that I never halted in any one pace more than half an hour, and that I made good speed is evident from the follow- ing fact : After I had left, Lord Chelms- ford changed his mind, and started off Guy Dawnay- an. hour later, under escort, with his formal, -despatch. I am nearly three stone heavier than Daw- nay, and weight tells infernally on these colonial ponies. Yet Dawnay did not reach Landman's Drift till 10 p. m, on the 5th instant. Leaving the Umfaloosi one hour behind me, he did not reach Landman's Drift until seven hours behind me. "My riding, it appeared, was not het over. On the morning of the lith it oc- curred to General Marshall, in com- mand at Landman's Drift—Marshall is about the clearest -headed of our chiefs. —that some time might elapse before direct communication could be opened up between Wolseley. and Chelmsford, and that what I would be able to tell him regarding details might be of ser- vice to the former, if I were to hurry through with all speed to Port Durn- ford. I wasn't in the best case for an- other long ricle, it was true. In the fight I had a thwack on the leg with a spent bullet. It had not broken the skin, but made a contusion, and the long ride had set up not a little inflam- mation. But it was not bad enough to let it beat a fellow, and off I set for Landman's Drift, about one in the af- ternoon of the 6th, bent on reaching Pietermaritzburg, a, distance of one 'hundred and seventy miles, before stopping. "My leg by this time had. got -so bad that I could barely walk, and now the place has sloughed out and be hanged to it. However, it will heal on board ship, whither I am going in a day or two. I mean to trek for home. Per- , haps I shall outspan for a few days at Capetown ; perhaps I shan't off -saddle at all. This is a fearful long yarn, but once I began it I could not leave off." Oatmeal and Cocoanut. Oatmeal mixed_ with grated cocoanut produces a very, attractive cake to both old and young. Take three heaping teaspoonfuls of grated. cocoanut ; add to it a. half pint of the ln:est oatmeal. and two heaping_ spoonfuls of sugar ; stir it A Queer Robbery. A. strange story is told of a man in New York who returning home rather late at night while it was snowing, felt for his watch to see the time, but it was gone. It flashed over him in an instant that only three minutes before a man had passed him, who had rub- bed against him. It was the work of .a moment to give chase, and lifting his umbrella, he demanded his watch or vengeance. The watch was handed over by the traveller, and the good citizen went home in a very complacent mood, congratulating himself on his good luck and courage. At the break- fast table next morning his wife read the story of the robbery of a man, only a few streets away, of a valuable gold watch and chain. It was li„ most daring affair, the robber. lifted an enormous club, and threatened all sorts of things. " That is singular," said the husband, for I was robbed of my watch near that place, and ran after the villain and recovered it." Are you sure, dear ?" asked his wife. " You left your watch at home yester- day when you went out, and I saw a strange one on the bureau this morning. Can it be that you have committed robbery ?" So it turned out. Terrible Ride. The Liverpool Post tells a strange 'adventure of a venturesome small boy. It appears that he played truant from school, and dared not go home at night. He managed to get into the station house yard at Chorley, with the inten- tion of pasting the night in one of the passenger carriages ; but'he failed to gain access, the doors being locked. He then crept under the guard's van, and he pulled himself` on the couple of short iron rods between the axle of the wheels and the carriage floor, and between which the brake apparatus passes. In this position, he went to sleep, and at- 5 o'clock in the morning the train started for Wigan. The lad. was actually brought to Wigan, and again taken to Chorley clutching the rods. At the latter place he vitas dis- covered, still fast asleep, and rescued from his perilous position. The marvel is, how the lad remained on this frail support during his 18 miles' journey, and asleep all the while. Had he mov- ed death was certain. Bi; WISE.—Too often a cold pr slight cough is considered a very ordinary, trifling affair, just as well left -to go as it came, and hence systematically neg- lected until a simple, curable affection Is 'converted into a serious pulmonary disease. The more prudent, aware that a cough or cold should never be trifled with, promptly use " Bryan's Pulmonic Wafers," which have sustained their re- putation for over twenty years. They are always efficacious, and exert a most beneficial influence on all the bronchial and pulmonary . organs.

The clothes are beautifully white and the washing is done in much less time—Mrs. in. P. Hayes." "c I used Dobbins' Electric Soap, according to di- rections, and found the clothes whiter than when washed in the old way, and in half the usual time —Mrs. M. Y. McLean." " I have tested Dobbins' Electric Soap,and am highly satisfied with the result. I believe it capable of doing all the wrap- per claims for it, and most confidentlyy, recom- mend. it as edonomizing both time and labor, and as doing its workwell—Mrs. T. Goldsmith." "Having given Dobbins' Electric Soap a fair trial, I think it is all the manufacturers represent it to be—Mrs. R. T. Coleman." I desire all my friends and customers to give this Soap one trial, so they may know just how good the best soap in the United States is THOMAS KIDD, Seaforth, Ont., Agent for Huron County. 571-52 MARRIAGE L-ICNSES flit CERTIFICATES, IInder the new Act,) issued at the EXPOSITOR OFFICE, SEAFORTH.
