The Boers were hidden in a drift, and opened fire from al- most under the leg,s or the British horses.

The British regained the ridge they had just left and comtueneed a, rear knarti Action. in tuts meantime a strong foree of Deere had barred the road back of the Britten camp. The coming of daylight enabled Col. Lawley to see that the Guards were hard pressed, end be despatched reinforcements, with two guns, to their assistance. The reinforcements soou compelled the Boers to retreat. The Guards had had a very hard fight, and were ordered to retire be' squadron. The Boers disputed every inch of tbe road with the Guards, and continually attempted to rush them, shouting "Hands up!" At each successive position taken up, the British appeared in diminished num- Imre, for as it grew lighter the aim tsf the Boers improved proportiou- etely. The following incident of the fight - big is reported: Commandant Pretodus, who was captured the previous day in a Cape cart, was la charge of some National Scouts. The Scouts role Leto a party of Deere dressed in khaki, supposing them to eye British troops. The Boers opened fire and Pretorlus ea caped in the confusion. One report says he teas shot as he fled. • Commandant Prinsloo is also re- ported to have been killed in the fighting, as well as other Boer of- ficers. The British wounded who fell into Boer hands were well treated by the enemy. The Dragoong Fight.

SURVEY. eosephus relates that about this time Caligula, the Roman emperor, had bis statue set up In Ahe temple, geeing Instruetions to tilt e.ner oho eeeposed him. Terrified at the 'pros- ptct of this sacrifice, the Jews left otf persecuting the Christians and turned their attention to the aeerting of this calamity. "Then had the churches rest." The miracles wrought by Peter, They were notable. ; The ease of Batas was well known. He had kept his bed for eight years, sick of the pahey. Dorcaswas well known throughont the region where she lived by her ministrations to the needy. Her stelmess and death at- tracted general attention. After • her death they sent to Joppa, about ten miles distant, for Peter. The time required to make the journey. and return, in all probability on - foot, was sufficient to demonstrate that she was actualize dead. Eneas arose "immediately" and made his _ bed, and Peter presented Dorcas: "alive." This Is characteristic of all • the miracles of Christ and Ms apos- tles. Such works always attended the minietre of the apostles. They were imitated in the promise (Mark xvi. 17, 185. and wherever they went the Lord wrouglit with them 'confirm- ing tbe word with signs following," The effert of the miracles.

He who would rob the religion of the Bible of its supernatural element would take away from it the onlY thing which makes it of value to the individual or to the world. Only a, supernatural religion can arouse the attention of a godless world, attract men to God and tom - pet them to acknowledge His power. , Lu this age or running oiter themar- _ vetoes and the novel it is not pro- bable that God will by the working of niany strilein.g physical wonders appeal to this demerit In men, but when there are hearts that acknow- ledge Him and make way for Him, He will reveal His power by saving men from sin. .VICS/001.1•• NE KEEPER OF BRITAIN'S HONOR.

It was with these svords that the Champion of Britain flung down his gauntlet in Westminster Great Hall during the coronation of George the Fourth; and in similar words the Sovereign's cause had been cham- pioned from the year 1006 to titles which our grandfathers can easily renamaiber. The championship con- tinued in the Ilarmion family until the death, In 1292, of Sir Plains de Harmless, without male issue, the estates of Sorivelsby thereby descend- ing to the daughter, Joan, who mar- ried a Sir 'Monies Ludlow, who left an only daughter, elazera. She became the wife of Sir John Dymoke, In which family that office bas con- tinued ever since. The present holder of this quaint office. Mr. Frank Seeman Dymoke, the Honorable, the King's Champion, of Serivelsby, Lincolnshire, can trace Inc family back to the great Robert Dispensator. Champion of William the Conqueror. Robert Dispensator-or Robert -Mention, as his real bame was -was a 'cousin or William L, and had acted as his champion while he was Duke of Normandy. It was only natural that the first of our Nor- man Kings should bring his own Champion with him, and also that he should load him with honors, as he undoubtedly did, by giving him grants of land in the counties of Lin- coln, Gloucester, Warwick and Here - lard, together with the governor- ship of the border Castle of Tam- worth. And as, In addition to these 'broad acres," he qlso preserved his estates between Caen and Falaise In France, he might, with justice, be looked upon as having been next in power to the King himself. The Championship of Britain is not vested in the eldest son of a Champion, as is usual in such offices, but devolves upon the lineal de- scendant, who owns Sorivelsby Court. It would also seem that the present or any subsequent Champion is at liberty to leave the Scrivelsby es- tates to Whomever he likes, and, provided the heir is a member of the Dymoke family, the Championship would go with the estates. In fast, such a case has recently happened, and the present bolder ot the office belongs to a very much older branch of the family than did the gift of the Conqueror, four imams in, Warwickshire, ono in Gloucester- shire, fourteen in Lincolnshire, and seventeen .111 Leicestershire, all of whieli were inherited afterwards by the Dymolte family, When Cromwell was in power, 'for instance, the then 'herder of the title was filled to the extent of $35,000 -an enormous; sum In 'Woe° days -for being a Royalist, and, what was considered worse, "for bearing a lewd and malicious title." Taking these facts into considera- tion one cannot be surprised that coronations took place at which no Champion wn.a forthooming. Not that the Menden family feared the ordeal -far from it, It was goner - ally the King himself who suggested that there should be no challenge, as the cireuenstances under which the immediate successors or William the Conqueror caate to the throne made It advisable that their corona- tions should be performed as quietly and unostentatiously as possible. 'Phe well-known authority on the "Cham- pions of Britain," the Rev. 8, Lodge, M. A., thinks that as a sort of pre- oedent for dispensing with the Chem- plosea services was established by William Rufus, Henry I., a,nd Stephen, the remaining Sovereigns up to Rich- ard II. would not think it necessary to require the services of a, Cham- pion. After the reLgn of Richard II., the Champions have appeared at every coronation u.p to more recent days, a.nd itt epite or their long rurn of office, it seems remarkable that rover once has the Challenge been accepted. There were many occasions on which this challenge might have been taken up, as instanced,Isby the accession of William and Mary, Anne, and the first two Georges. She Walter Scott Introduces the ac- ceptance of the challenge as an in- cident in "Red Gauntlet," and de- clares that It Is founded on fact, Hi solemnly assures us In a footnote, "That upon the coronation of George when Dymoke wagered his body to defend -in single combat the right Of the King to the crown of these realms.; at the moment when he flung down his gauntlet as the gage of battle, an unknown female stepped from the crowd and lifted the pledge, leaving another gage ies room of it, with a. paper expressing that ifa tale field of combat should be allow- ed, a champion of rank and birth would appear with equal arms to dispute the claim. of' King George to the British Kingdoms." Tbis state- ment will have to be taken with the proverbial grain of salt aa no proof either of the ricceptance of the chal- lenge or of its subsequent events Is to be found.

For whereas the ether Champions seem to have forgotten the lids of the 82.ounce gold pets whdoh it was their right to Malin, Mr, John Dymoko was the ouly one to bring it away with hitp, fu the excitement of the moment the golden lids were left behind, and, as an aufortunately natural stquence, when their owners sought to re- cover them, they had disappeared.

It its belleted that Mr. Dymoke will not exercise his privilege at Klag Edward's coronation next year, his undoubted right to appear being ad- mitted without the actual perforin - mice of this quaint ceremony. t: FALLING 100 FEET I I DOWN A SHAFT. I ++++ f+++++++++++ f+++ +++ea+ "Why, I feel bully; I was wishing they would let Ina go out and roll on the latter." said tlie man who 'fell five stories yesterday. Palling 100f feet down an elevator shaft is not' exactly a pleasant sensatlon-one has no time for "feel- ing," and it Is not often that _after it le over there are pleasant mein - odes of the incident. Frank G. Zels, ot 2,983 Gray street, is a restless patient ee St. Joseph's Hospital to -day. His cheek and lip are scratched and his right little linger is wrapped up. Other - there( is no evidence of the ac- cident which befell Min at the new Adams Hotel, Eighteenth and Wee, ton streets, yesterday, save a lit- tle soreness in the back. . "I can't tell just how I fell," said he, laughing, as if he was glad to see a visitor, this morning. "I went ales -boom' with just a little accent on the siss, and I have been lying hero wondering how much brain I have- I clide't think I lied much gray matter in nry Weill until I was being carried to the ambulance. Ordinarily I would not have paid any attention to the shaft sides as I went up -in :act, I didn't, but when I started to fall, everything flashed before me; it seemed that I could see every nail, chip and block oh the floors, ' and particularly the boards at the bottom,. "Before I fell I felt the rope on one side of my swing giving way. Then I remembered swinging out of a seven story building recently with half -a -ton of iron 'for a fire escape, all hanging on the two ropes that supported me, and I wouldn't believe one of them was breaking. I yelled at the space below to 'let that rope alone,' believing some one was tam- pering with ;the free ends by which I had pulled my swing up on the pulleys. "Then came the horrible jerking, breaking of strand after strand - it seemed to unravel and break by bits. I suppose it took two seconds for me to start, but it seemed like twenty minutes. When I saw the cause of one end of my board sinking I reached for the other rope, but -siss-down I went. As I slid off the board I 'thought a dozen things. First, I realized like a flash of light- ning that I wee facing death with- out a chance in my favor. No, I nev- er thought of the mean things I had done -nor the good, nor my friends and relatives. It was death, death - sure and swift, coming at bre like a cyclone, and I relaxed tO Ole; a thousand rushing noises seemed to bewilder me for en instant -a very, very Short instant -shorter than a clock can measure, and my Mind passed to the bottom of the shaft. e re head was pointed down and I turned over. I don't remember think - leg how I 'would strike, but by some mysterious Impulse or notion, I turn- ed over and prepared to alight in it sitting position. "Then the sensation greet pleasant. I seemed to be riding on the wind above the earth, while the objects shot by like caanon balls. I seemed to be• ill a reverie when I reached the third floor -I know it was the third, for I remembered later of having seen in stick projecting there -I felt a pain le my face. My finger and my face tipped the stick and gave nie nem seratoltesosend then I thought Of the boards at the bottom. t knew they were there about fifteen inches apart, a.nd with the vision of these boards before me, forgetful of the flashes of light a.s I passed by die •tereet Morse I struck.
