A man in New South Wales whu played the part of a good Samaritan thirty years ago has just been rewarded. Jt is 'stated that Mr. P. S. H.-uislow, of Cndgebcgong. has '"''''l informed by a firm of solicitors that a man named Whitehead recently died in Victoria and left him the whole of his property, valued at about £20(10. It seems 'that in ISB2 Mr. Ilanslow found Whitehead, who was a tramp at the time, lying seriously ill on the side of the road. He conveyed him to an hotel, where he paid his hoard and also paid for medical advice. When Whitehead got better Ilanslow gave him 10s in cash to help him on his way. lie had entirely forgotten the occurrence until he received this letter. Lord Robert says that on revisiting the South African battlefields in 11304 he was greatly struck, when re-traversing the positions, with the enormous advantage the Boers had from being good ride shots. Their skill in the use of the rifle, their mobility, their horsemanship, and their knowledge of the country gave them such an advantage over superiority of numbers as to be an education in training.
