'While in KI0Onfitad I saw a good
many military funerals, all , from the
hospitals, the bodies teeing carrieo wit
vvrapped in blankete, no coffins, and
sometinaes with a flag thrown over
them. • The sadderet one I witnessed
was of a colonel who had left, his wife
in Cape TOMEI DOC two Weeks before,
got up as tar as Kroonetad, ard was
stricken down with enteric fever, horn
which he very soon passed away. I think
that enteric fever 'waked a person look'
abeut the sickest of anything I know,
While I was etationeci in Bloemfontein
there were ninety deaths from this
dread disetese in one day.
On Saturdey morning about four
o'clock we were awekeued by quite a
noise outside, and Mund that 135 ox -
waggons belonging to Gen. Hunter's
columnhad come in to be loaded; four
hours later, while these waggone were
still there, 112 more waggons came in,
the latter belonging to lien. Macdon-
ald's colunIn, each of the Waggons hav-
ing 16 oxen on, making a total of 3,952
oxen. The carrying capacity of each
wagger' averages about 5,000 pounds,
although of course pone of them were
loaded to their full extent. We had at
one tune on our depot over 7,000,000
pounds of oats, and pearly always
tried to keep a reserve supply of 100e
000 pounds of preset yed meat and the
same amount of biscuits.
I saw a great many Boor prisoners
being taken down .country, many of
whom ceuld tale English, and often
got into conversation with them; they
were indeed a dirty, motley crowd; I
asked several of them if they had
eweeeheedeeineeetheewar began, and they
acknowledged they had not, and 1
thought, by theit• looks, ' that it was
ten years before that. A story is told
of an English 'officer who had SOWS
prisonerin his charge, and being in a
place where water wais plentiful he
thought he would rnake them more
presentable, so set some soldiers to
give them a good wash; after the sol -
Mere had been working at them for
about fifteen minutes, they came to•
another suit of clothes • that had. got,
covered with the dirt. Half a tea -cup-
ful of water is quite enough .fot the
father'mother, a.nd all the young ones
of thefamily to wash in. At some
houses'i saw pigs, chickens and child-
ren playing in the back yard, and
when Lne back door was opened pigs,
chickens and children went in the
house together, going all through the
house. The houses are meetly one-
story : I only saw one two -storied house
in the town of Kroonstad.
• I had the pleasure on two occasions
of attending the colored people's
church, going with the Methodist
tninister under whose charge ittey are.
The first thne there were only two
other white,people in the building be-
sides the .minister and myself. 1 Un-
derstood none of the service except the
.settnone the white minister firet
preaches thesernaon. in English; he
repeats cog sentence, .the negro minis-
ter tianslates that sentence into Kaffir.

IA 5 5011)3on elelert .and to [he point. e
thought I would not care to listen to
some of our Canadian ministers under
the ,same circumstances, as I have
heard some very long-winded ones,
and a person: would require to take his
meals at the church also. It was
amusing to watch some of the child-
ren; they behaved very well, but one
of them got a little restless and started'
to walk around. One of the black
wcmen picxed her up, turned her over
her knee, and gave ker quite a spank-
ing where God intended children to be
spanked; the child never made a sound
but eat on the seat as quiet as couldbe
afterwatds. Oftenon the streets I
saw small °black pickanninies, -about
seven or eight years of age; with their
Smaller brothers or sisters strapped on
their hacks, as that is the way children
are carried in South Aft ica. .
'I was very pleased La find that the
Methodist, or Wesleyaus, a.e/they are
called out there, have more converts
among the black races than any other
two churches together. ..
'When the town of Bothaville was
burned down by the British all the
blade people were taken into Kroon-
etad, the old people . walking and the
children riding on ox waggons; 1
counted 35 heads sticking out over the
side of one waggon, hut they did not
by any means all belong to one family.
One day when Gen. Hector Macdon-
ald (Fighting Mac, as he is called,) was
in the town he went into one of the
stores and asked, for a certain kind of
riding boot; the merchant said he did
not have any, hut would get somehow.
Bloemfontein if he wished it, saying
how soon he could have them up. Mac-
donald said "do so," the merchant
said "they will cost you considerable,
from fifteen to twenty dollars for one
pair," Ile was told to 4,rt away, eo
handed the General a piece of paper,
telling him to put down his name,regi-'
ment, regiroental number, and name
of his commanding officer. The Gen-
eral, who was dressed like' a common
soldier (having no insignia of rank on,
whatever) did so; when the merchant
saw who he had been addressing so
familiarly he felt as if he could drop
through a knot hole in the floor and
pull the knot hole after him, but the
General thoroughly enjoyed the joke.
Strathcona's Horse have the name of
being is class of men that salute no of-
ficer and take no prisoners. On one oc-
casion sonie of the English Colonels
and Majors in the brigade in which
they were, were cohylaining to the
General commanding the division
about them not saluting them at all,
he said "You are a h-1 of a Walk bet-

she fell a victim of seasickness. She

ed as a giftdor Queen Victoria. But
when he heard who was the lovely wo-
man on deck the gallant fellow in,qst-
ed that it should be spread over her as
her own country's queen, the fairest of
her race!"
