The following ar extracts' frwm a letter from a sergeant la th Soaforth highlanders, dated Dec. 10, says th London Telegraph: "The Black Watch in front made aa attempt to charge the poslttt, but we bad to retire and simply run for It, the enemy biasing at us all the way snd cropping our fellows like skittle from their splendid positions. There was nothing for It but to lie down snd pretend to be dead, and this I did about 5:30 a. m.. till, 1 presume, 6 p. m., the sun pouring down on me all the time, and not a drink of water all day, and dare not stir hand or foot, and expecting every minute to be my last. 1 could hear nothing but the cries, moans snd prayers of the wounded all around me, but r darent so much as look up to see who they were. Shota and shells were going over me all day from the enemy and our side, and plenty of them striking within a yard of me I mean bullets, not shells ar j yet they never Lit me. I believe some of the fellows lost their heads and walked right up to the enemys place, singing till they dropped them. One youngster lying close to me said he would make a dart for it about 3 p. m. I tried my best to persuade him' not to, but he would go. A couple of seconds later I could hear them pitting at him, and then his groans for about a minute, and then be was quiet. About this time the sun began to get fearfully hot, and I began to feel It in the legs, which were now very painful and swollen, because I was parched with thirst. Most ef the wounded round me had ceased groaning by this time. As It began to get dark I managed to wriggle my body through the shrub further baik, and after 1 bad been at It some time, on looking up, found myself right ln fiont of another of the enemy. They sent a few rouuds at me, but they struck Just ln front and ricocheted over my head. After a bit, It getting darksr, I got up and walked by. and there waa nothing but dead highlanders all over the place. Ce-Sra- One of the most barbarous people ln the world are the Stfans of Thibet, although, physically, they re among the finest races to be found in Central Asia. They are not uniform ln color, some being black and some brown. But they are uniformly thievish and lazy. Among their bad traits are ungovernable hostility to one another and Each tribe Is always loye at war with Its neighbor, and generally upon the most trivial pretext. Two men may quarrel over the possession of a knife or an equally trifling article. T.he aggrieved party returns to his tribe and reports the facts of the case to his chief. His right to the article ln question is never considered; it Is enough that he should have quarreled over it. War Is immediately declared on the tribe of his rival by sending with arrows messengers dipped ln blood and the head of any unfortunate prisoner of war who may have been captured prior to the outbreak of hostilities. From that moment the quarrel becomes deadly. No concerted action is taken, the strifri being ln the nature of a gigantic feud. When a man of one tribe meets one of the rival tribe a combat takes place until one or the other has been killed, the victor cutting off the head of his vanquished foe as a trophy of his prowess. Poisoned food and the poisoning of wells are stratagems which either tribe feels itself quite at liberty to use to compass the downfall of a rival. This sanguinary feud may last for months, or even years, until, both sides tiring of the loss of life, a settlement Is effected through the mediation of some powerful chief, who is not a party to the quarrel.
