Vcst;ves OF am Ancient Cav,

We found the following III tue Natal Mer.
curry; " A worthy missionary in Zuland is
sand to have found clue to the veRtiges OF
au ancient 0phir. or of some CITY Of equally
old aud mystical renown. These veitiges
are said to have been described to the mis-.
aionary in queston by the natives residing
to the north OF Zuland. They are repuied
to be the remains of large city, covering
wide area, aud situated about thrce days
trek, (Which probably meant much more)
from where tho missionary then was. Ap
proach to them IL strictly forbidden by the
chief of tho tribe living in the locality
Attention was drawn to the fact by notice
being taken Of sundry golden ornaments be-
ing worn by natives at Tho kraal where
these disclosures were made. The precious
meal was said to have been obtained from
the ruined city or It's ncighborhood. There
il something too romantic about this story
which rests, it will DO seen, on the slender
foundation of u native tale. Wero il not
that u similar statement came 10 light a
short time ago, through, we think, the agen.
cy OF Rev. Mr.. Duhne, we should not give
prominence to what might DO the idle in
vention Of a savage, anxious to prevent the
white mans advance through his territory.

exact whereabouts being vaguely defined,
That there is room for archaeological spec
ulatiou on this subject, cannot be denied.
That largo Garner block of the continent "
Ing between the Transavaal and the Indian
Ocean, between Doago Buy aud Gu l'imaiue,
is Almost If rot wholly, an unknown land ;
aud yet according to popular belief, this
region WAS tho site OF tho ancient Ophif
thl B 5lical Eldorado, while the theory has
ecu huzarded that the Queen of Sheba
came from this locality, There is, more
over the understood fact that the sand q

Been great Improvement in the cofnstruc

New machines have been invented, all

are very slow to avail themselves OF the

We found one reason for thoir want Of suc
cess. The manufacturer, who should have
all his work performed by hand, would a.
once fall far behind one who MS d | uproved

him even for n single month. ln n less de-

something TO bo sure, but its use euables
the farmer 10 perform his work easier and
better, and either saves the employment Of
much hired help, or enables him TO conduct
a much larger business. But IL IL not Ol,ly
