Boer Settlers in Madagascar.
LONDON, October 1st. French press repons contain accounts of Boer overtures for concessions of agricultural lands in Madagascar. Governor-General, Gallieni recommends the grants. He has stipulated with the applicans that they shall become naturalized and adopt the French language, conditions to which they have agreed. Le Matin claims to reflet official views in the opinion that this proposition should be favourably considered on the ground that it promises better than anything yet proposed for the solution of labour and other vexing problems in Madagascar development.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
STONE CUTTER'S ISLAND
Sunday,
As the Camp is unusually dull this year, and beating in mind my promise to write you 're our doings, I herewith send you some "copy:" The attendance on Saturday was better than that of Friday; there were more fresh faces, and (Owner) naturally more life in the camp. After dinner a very enjoyable evening was spent in the large mess tent. Some energetic member gat up an impromptu concert, where some very good songs were sung, and wit displayed. During the proceedings,, the officers, including Com mandaut Pritchard and Major Chapman, graced the proceedings with their presence. Amongst others was the popular Lieutenant Northcotte, who, by the way, has been recently promoted. He was singled out by the boys for a song or recitation. With this, he very gracefully complied by giving recitations connected with the sons of Jerusalem. His actions, and, gestures were most comical, whilst his accents, fairly brought down the house. The popular Commandant was the next-victim asked to oblige. Stepping out, the Commandant, expressed himself to the effect that he is not a singing man, although he is a lover of music, but he would ask the mem bers present to remember that it is his first. camp, wherein he had figured as Commandant, and wound up by asking them to a drink all round. Naturally the canteen boys were soon hard at work, and when every glass was charged, we drank our Commandant's health to the strain of "He's a jolly good fellow" followed by three cheers and a "tiger." Three cheers were also right royally accorded,to Mrs. Pritchard. Gunners Davis and Sheffield were the accompanists. Speaking of the canteen, I running the show. At any rate it is a profit- am informed that Messrs. Price and Co, are

Almost to the last he determined to make the journey over- land. He had never been on a steamer and 7 dreaded the sea journey. A short time ago
