I have seen two convoys attacked, and the circumstances of the two were soidenticai that I venture to in- fer that it I were to see 200 the proced- ure would be the same. A multitude of Hadendowas assemble on the line of our advance, await the convoy, select one tees for attack, and then wi2hdraw out of fire. We knew thLy were there. The Hasheen redonbt is FLASHING THE NEWS T0 ['3 from our right ; the water-fort mirror is twinkling the same news from the rear. But the enemy do not rush upon us en- masse. They do not even fire a shot. They lie by to see the result of the onset of their fanatic Ll vanguard. These creep up as well as they can to within charging distance, and then, with gesticulaiions suggestive of a war-dance rather than real conflict, come straight on, crying upon Allah, “ the compassionate, the merciful Healer of wounds." If not stretched out on the ground before they reach the square they fling themselves upon our bayonets with a dauntless intrepidlty that only voluntary martyrdom or mad- ness can explain. Single men, snapping their fingers, hopping and skipping, barking and grunting, would sometimes manage to come up within spear length, but only to receive at the rifle’s muzzle that death which they seem with such light hearts to seek. It is an amazi.g variety of warfare, and we have only to put ourselves in imagination in the place of the Hadendowas to confess that it is one calling for the most reckless form of courage. Everybody knows that the fail- ‘ aticism of Islam has. all through the his- tory of Mohammedanism. made heroes of her soldiers when they thought them- selves fighting for the Faith. But it is none the less astonishing and perplexing to find these barbarous Arabs flinging themselves on the level lines of British bayonets fixed on rifles which are roaring out their all down the steady rank. That they should move up in a dense mass, and, by sheer distress of numbers, trust to breaking through our squares and getting to close quarters, is comprehensible. Such are the tactics of savages every- where. On weight and impetus they re- ly for victory. But it is quite another thing when they come on in trifling num- Im-a nnntfnnl‘ themselves round alarger uu... . ._-__ V bers, scatter themselves round alsrger force, and deliberately die. . . . These recurring periods of expectation, preparation, and excitement are, how- ever, the relief and solace of convoy work. They keep the soldier in spirits. And he needs it. For the heat, and the choking dust, and the weariness of drag- ging feet along through and at the rate two miles an hour,withbushes armed with thorns to which fishhooks are mere f 001- ishness perpetually in the way, and the air heavy with the odor of decaying corpses, makes the labor of escorting a. camel convoy one of the most exasperat- ing and spirit-breaking tasks imaginable. Had the great Poet of Purgatory but been here a fortnight he would certainly hsve shown us a future state in which wicked staff eflicerr and soldiers who had deserved badly of their country would have been compelled to drag backward and forward, foreversnd forever, convoys of zoblin camels from Suakin to “ Zar- gimâ€" No. 1. ” "-We have no (1 any of the credit troops South Wales). and capital 01 Victoria), impression that this It appears, ve been mistaken. e New York Herald. toops. must ha can doubt Th ing apart, thing were en aid has no geogr printed before 0 we will send one over.

Au...“â€" Persistent, and Luck An old miner who followed the gold ex- citement in its devious wanderings in Australia, California, Mexico, and Bribiah Columbia, related a few days ago several instances of lucky diac0veriee: “An old Dutchman brought the plod- ding method of his race to the work of golq digging in Australia. Ali his com- : u ‘J_--.. -n-l Anah' but few anions hsd boldness and dash; but few had the stolid persistency in the face of bad luck that this Dutchman possessed. He had been plodding along for several months digging a tunnel. Heavy dull clay was all about him. Not a promising sign beckcned him on. He seemed to get more settled in his determination to work the tunnel to the end the more unpromis- ing it looked. He had been working on in the face of discouragement for several months. One morning he wnl'mtking his way into his tunnel, and before he had gone fourteen feet his heart sank within him. There in front of him was his tun- nel caved! The path that he had labor- iously dug into the hill was clogged with tons of earth. But the quality of his character asserted itself. Most men would have volleyed oaths at his ill luck, and packed up their kit and left. The miner maved more slowly than before, but he started to work again in the same tunnel. He crawled into his tunnel, and with his pick and shovel set to clearing away the hill of earth that blocked his path. He had not struck a. dozen blows with m. nick before the sharp iron point auu. u u...- __ with his pick before the sharp iron point struck something solid. Mechanically he bent fordward and cleared away the earth, and there before him was a big nugget, as nuggets go, weighing fourteen ounces. He crept out of the tunnel, bringing his precious nugget with him, and when he got into the iresh air and heard the birds singing, he sat clown and wept. No one begrudged the Dutchmen his luck. " A nuggety country that has been only partially worked is just as good a field as virgin soil,” continued the miner. “ The spots that have not been touched may be the very nests of the precious metal. It is dangerous to leave a single foot of the ground unworked. The ortuue of a life- ‘ time might thus be passedf by and lost for- ever. There are many instances of j uet such cases. There was a. poor, shiftless fellow, with a wife in rage and children in squalor. The whole family used to go into the diggings together and shift about till they got enough to buy something to eat. They kept sinking lower and lower. But one day they struggled into the diggings, not having energy enough to push on abreast of the workers. They fell to picking a little pillar that had been left standing in the midst of the digginga, all about it having been worked. I do not think it could have been more than three feet across, certainly not more than six. It was a spot that had been neglect- ml .. um dinners pushed their drifts a- three feet across, certainly net more man six. It was a spot that had been neglect- ed as the diggers pushed their drifts a- head. The squalid family began work on this solitary pillar ; all they hoped was a few grains to feed them for the day. As the man continued lletlessly, the sunlight was caught up by a speck in the pillar that glistenei and flished. The eyes of the poor fellow saw it ; he thought his work for the day was done. He knelt down to clean away the dirt from the bright spot. As he did so the shining metal grew to larger proportions. Immed- iately the whole family was around it in eager hasteto uncover it. The further they cleared the soil away about it the further it seemed to recede. After work- ing two hours with growing astonishment they saw the full outline of their prizeâ€" one of the largest lumps of gold ever found. That was the luckiest find ever found. Th“ made. LII found in a most peculiar place,” resumed the miner. “ There was an unusually rich digginvrs in the vicinity of Mount Mollagul, Victoria, that had made a hun- dred men rich. It had been thoroughly worked in every direction, and it was thought that every grain of gold in the neighborhood had been collected. The crowd that once made the camp a busy scene of life dissolved as quickly as it had collected, leaving the shanties to the mercy of the weather, which soon made them a picturesque ruin. Ufl" toward the east there was a solitary tree stump, standing on a pillar of earth that had not been cut away by the gold hunters because of the old roots of the tree that spread through the soil. It was not more than ten feet in circumference that had been left by the diggers. One day two miners came to the deserted camp, and stopped over night on the site of the old camp. The stump struck one of them as a slug- ular feature of the old diggings, and being a skilfui miner, he knew that one part of anuggety country was as likely to hide the precious metal as another. It occur- red to him that the ground. under the stump was as likely to prove rich as the portions of the neighboring field that had yielded so much gold. He resolved to work the little mound the next day. His companion. however, was anxious to be i off the latest dlggings, where the excite- ment was at the highest pitch. But the first miner, who had resolved to explore the solitary patch of the deserted dig- gngs, persuaded his partner, and together they set to work on the old stump. They began by undermining one side of the atump, but before they had dug in three feet they discovered an enormous nugget, one of the most valuable that had been found in the whole diggings. They con- tinued their labors and uprooted the stump, but did not find another grain of 1 anal“- â€"â€".._. a nq’AQofi'pp “The Mount: Mqllaggl nlgg get way“ gold." NUGGET amuse.
