PRICES AT THE DIAMOND MINES
The condition of things AT the South AT
rican diamond fields is very similar to
that Of the old placer mining days in CAL
ifornia. The commonest necessities are
sold for the most exorbitant prices. New
Rush, town of canvas tents and shantics
inhabited by motley collection of old
Dutch settlers, or Beers, as they are
called, Kaflirs and Chinese coolies, has
already got newspaper, the Grinq'td-
tdnd Gazette, which furnishes the follow
ing list of correct prices A single plank
sells at from three to five dollars, and n
joist at from five to seven dollars, and
fire. wood at S35 cord. The cost of 9TH
er things is almost equally high. Lime
sells for three dollars a bushel, salt for
ten dollars Il bag, cabbages from half a
dollar to a dollar and half apiece, little
pigs from five to seven dollars each,
ducks two dollars pair, eggs dollar a
dozen. Beef is comparatively cheap, as
oxen can be bought for forty-hve dollars.
But the people are not without their
pleasures. They have a Masonic lodge
and circus. They hunt the springbok.
They also have eoursing matches with
dogs for silver cups-''entries for dogs
ten dollars" and an auctioneer has actu-
ally been instructed to sell "a full tri-cord
piano, as good as new" and "Christy's
Mnstrels give notice that they will ap-
pear at "Adumantia Circus" and Mr..
Leslie has had benefit given him at
Mutual Hall, and there is an iron boat
for pleasure parties on Dutoitspan Lake.
Finally in the matter of education, boys
under twelve years of age will be boarded
and taught at the Kip Drift Grammar
School for the sum of 5000 per year.

ENGLISH GOODNESS. - Don Piatt, in
the capital, tells the following story OF
an English Colonel whom he met durino
the late war. This Englishman had beer
| fighting in all sorts OF wars in every part
of the globe, for and against everybody
and every cause. His cool disregard o
danger, and at the same time his anxiety
to get into quiet places and comfortable

Meyers, Of the Volunteer Artillery, found
himself in very exposed position, where
he was doing no good, although he used
due diligence, and fired away from hi.
own battery in response to the concentra-
ted fire of half a dozen. While thus en-
gagged, and worried to see his men and
horses killed, the Colonel rode up.
"Hawt work, Captain" remarked the
new conner, refining in his steed.
"Devilish hot" was the response.
"Never saw such day, Captain |
don't like it !; you know I've been rather
unfortunate. While crossing that blarst-
ed river lost me cotfecpot. I've had
that coflce-pot all through India and
South America, and now I've lost it. |
don't know what I'll do without that cof-
fee pot"
"I'd like to know what I'm kept here
for, unless they want my battery destroy
ed" interrupted the Captain.
Aw, Captain, l beg pawdon that
monkey of an Adjutant sent me here to
order you out. The general says you're
doing no good here better get out, you
know"
Damnation why didn't you tell me
that? I've lost two men and three hor-
ses while you talked about damned cof-
iee-pot."
"Never mind, Captain, beg pawdon ;
I'll help you. Wen soon get out of
range of the beggars. But an old cam
paigner cannot lose his coffee pot, you
know"
Further discourse was interrupted by a
shell that, exploding, blew up caisson,
and tumbled all that was left of the con-
Germ down the declivity in the rear. The
Colonel extricated himself from dying
horse, and, walking away, grumbled
"Most unfortunate day lost me coffee
