written during the session of 1898- again we went to Olipet Drift, across a big
veldt, an all night march. We were now
amidst the enemy, but did not see them,
though we expected to in a few days, We
remained at the Drift till 6 p. nn„ marched
all night, and arrived at P.aadereberg Drift
at 6.30-23 miles; after a light breakfast of
t g
coffee and bieoaite, we were ordered .to
ready to help surround the Boers ungder
Cronje, a mile -or SO up the river.. Eager.
for a fray we all jumped up, in spite of our
fatigue, and went up the river, and after
fording it, shoulder deep, we went forward
right to the firing line, where bullets were
'boon dying in every eireotion. We were
under fire for 11 hours.. We next had a
forced march of 23 'miles. We rested for
two days, and then came our b0 mile march
to Bloemfntein. 'Our arrival at this place
on the railroad was a pleasure to as, as we
knew our march was now praotioally at
an end, after 32' days of hardship and toil.
This is the capital of the beautiful Orange
Free State; .the buildings ' are stately, with
pretty gardens with hedges of pomegranates
laden with fruit; the streets are narrow,but
the roadbeds good. Thetown is situated
in a eery pretty valley, surrounded on one
side by kopjes, and on the other by a vast
grassy plain, where can be seen thousands
of cattle grazing; it is a pretty sight from
our camp oil .the south . weet of the town,
on the high part of the plain, here used as
a rifle range by the Boers. We may go
into garrieon here, but are not sure. There.
is a mild formal fever among the boys.

Several of the
Conservative have
jocularly said to me "01 Mouse we
would like to be in power, but as indi-

better in nppositi9n and have an easier
time than if we were otherwise."
What they In to convey is thiel ;-
In Opposition they have no favors to
grant to their supporters, they are not
asked t0 find places for party friends ;
C they have few or nodepartmenfaldtitles
to perform, consequently they hairean
easy time, compared with those who
ate supporting the government of -the

matters, the speeches are impromptu,
but very rarely go when we are discuss-
ing the budget and like questions --One
reason, of course, for this, is the large
number of statistics quoted. And, to
a certain extent, aprogram is hallowed.
The Whips find out what members are
going to speak, and if they happen to.
be front -bench or important members,
it is, arranged, for instance, that Hon.
Dr. Montague shall reply to. Hon. Mr
Patterson; that Mr Heyd, Liberal,
shall reply to Mr Montague; that Mr
Bergeron, Conservative, shall reply to
Mr Hey, so d .and onuntil there does

To the Editor of the N. Ora.
DEAR SM. -•-Will you kindly allow mo
space in your valuable paper for a few
words with regard to the debate held a
short time ago in the Baptist church. As
you know, the deoieion was given in favor
of the negative, by a few• poises, Now, an
tar as the winning or losing of the debate
is concerned, I do not pare one iota; never-

bels w e
feel perfectly safe in saying, from what I
have heard, that nine -tenths of the audience
believe too decision to be unfair. But
what I with to apdak ahead is not the de -
damn, bat some of the ridionloue arguments
advanced le my friend,ttlr Hollandin, sup-
port of the negative upon that occasion. I
have the honor of knowing Mr Holland to
be a man of more than ordinary intelligence
and how ho managed to got eo close to the
ridiculous with his arguments as he did on
that occasion, is more than I can account
for. Vow, Sir; my friendstated that if the
resolution had been worded "Itesolved, that
cironmstanoea aro more powerful in the
development of character (instead of tho
formation of character) than nature," he
would never have attempted to argue the
question et all, thereby admittingg that if
character is not formed at birth, that
nature has little or nothing to do with its
formation; but, saidhe,aharacter is. formed
