THE WORKING PEOPLE.

The strikes OF the workingmen In the
East continue with more or less sue
cess, the situation varying according to
the peculiar interests involved In the
various sections. The workingmen Of
Wilmington, Delaware, have founded
an Eight-hour Labor Association, and
have resolved to delay their strike un-
I'll cooperation Tan be secured from
other towns. A resolution was adop-
ted requesting store-keepers to desig
nate their sympathy with the move
ment by placing In their show windows

Discovery Of Buried cities lnlAfrlca.

Recent discoveries IN the South African Repub-
lie OF Transyaal have led to the supposition tnat
al time the east coast of South Africa was IN
hahited by race of men who were IN the ENJOY
mcnt of great wealth and far advanced In the arts
of civilization. The ruins of several buried cities
which have been discovered and partially eXpior-
ed have yielded specimens Of .ancicnt aicnitec,
turc which were evidently the work OF eNiilzed
and refined people.
The ruins Of one of these ancient cities, stu
ated on farm near Blocmhot, on the banks OF
the Naal, are to be thoroughly explored, ana the
results of the excavations already maze are
such rs 10 excite deep interestamoons arena
ologisis In another buried ci,y,wliich Is beng
explored by Herr Mauch. the ruins cover an
area OF at least two square miles. The walls
of this city were thirty feet high and eighteen
feet thick, built OF blocks of hcmn stone, iaid
in cement which is rs hard and durable rs the
rtone itself. Within the walls iron water pois
have been found and vases with ornamental
handles. Ii is supposed that the inhahiiants oi
those cities in their day utilized the rich mineral
resources OF TransNaa as there are numerous
mines within the limits of the republic which
were evidently worked III former ages, but nave
been long abandoned.
A Mr.. Guzman, who is promoting the organi-
zation OF q company for the construction ol q
railroad from Pretoria to Dclagoa Bay, SAYS that
near the Limpopo river he found one hundred
and sixty pits which had been worked Tor miner
ais. He recently exhibited at the diamond fieids
specimens OF ores taken from these pits which
were very rich, and included copper, tim, silver,
bismuth, cobalt, nickel and quicksilver. Alluvial
and quarz gold has been found in different places
in Tmnsya;l, but reports diipr as 10 the richness
OF there deposits.

A BILL will probably be introduced into the
present Congress for the protection OF forest
trees Ill the West, and for their propagation
where the land is bare OF of wood. President
Grant glanced at this subject in his message, and
it Was under discussion at the last session, upon
bill introduced by Senator Hitchcock, to give
homestead on the public lands to any settler who
would plant one-fourth OF the tract in trees.
This bill failed to pass but will probably be
modified and enacted this winter. Our forests
need all the protection that can be given them,
and wooded tracts are becoming scarcer yearly. !.

tions Il In correspondence to the Re-
publican, we may as well now and here
brand II as q lie.
The simple facts as stated In private
letter by an eyewitness are these. We
quote: "Clayton interrupted Hyncs and
said he lied, and Hynes retorted that
Clayton was liar and a thief and the
people of this county knew It." Clayton
started for the stand with pistol in hand,
followed by militia and United States
deputy marshals. Hynes was unarmed
and jumped down and went to friend
and got his weapon and jumped upon the
stand before Clayton got there. When
Clayton got upon the stand he was as
meek as lamb, and sat down and took q
thorough SHINING from Hynes."
The very reading Of the above lines
prove that they tell the unvarnished truth
and not written for effect and to falsify
like the ford nonsense in the 'Republi-
