SATURDAY WIGHT THOUGHTS.
These Saturday Night Thoughts are in
tended as a short review of the doings of
the week.with somethoughts in connection
with events, beginniog with tbe most im
portant of the affairs of the world. Ibis
may make the Boer war somewhat of a
chesnut, but it continnet at the front.
Tbe closing week sees little progressed
yet no doubt tne preparations that have
been going on for a big battle will mean
a good daal in tbe contest of bullets. Tbe
Boers remain in the lead. Will another
week seethe same reanlt?
Our bushwhacking war continues In
tatu quo,;wilh little apparent gain or
prospect of gain soon. It ia to be hoped
there is a surp lse ia store for us and
that tbe war ends with all its misman

port of the state goverumtnt, a tax of 6 3 1
j People contfnus to differ on tbe cent
ury subject, and will continue to do to
just simply because they can nsver agrte

cussion of it Is practically fruitless. One
might as well try to get music out of a
braes kettle or keep a baby'a tongue still
as to secure an agreement between disa
grees on such topics.
