AMONG THE BOERS.
M. Fache, the young lieutenant of the Swiss army who has recently returned from fighting on the Boor side in South Africa, krus com manuicted to the Gazette de Laure some further reminiscenes of his campaigning ex- periences. After paying the very highest tribute to the indemitable courage and endurance of the Britisk soldier in the attack of apparently impregnable positions, M. Pacha goes on to state that only in one case did he ever see the Boers attempt to hold one of these positions to the latter end; that was at Tabaksberg in the Orange River Colony, and then only OD last and useless volley during the The rush of the enemy, and immediately cast away their rifles, hold up their hands, and implore morey from the men whom they had been blazing at almost at arm's length, And M.

There are savoral objections to this course, one of which is that half the fake is situated in German territory. In any case Lake Albert Nyanza, which is also situated on the White Nile, is better suited for the purposes of storage, but the use of the White Nile altogether is undesirable because its water cau egly be used to the north of Khartown; that is in the provinces which at present least require irrigation.
