Discovery of Buried Cities in
Africa.

Recent discoveries in the South Afri-
can repu bile Transvaal have led to sup
position that at one time the east coast
of South Africa was inhabited by race
of men who were in the enjoyment of
great wealth and far advanced in
the arts of civilized and refind people.
The ruins ofone of the ancient cities,
situated on farm near Bloemhof, on
the banks of the Vaal, are to be thor
oughly explored, and the results of ex-
cavations already made are sure to
excite deep interest among archaelogists
In another buried city, which is being
explored by Herr Mauch, the ruins COW
er an area of two sqnare miles. The
walls of the city were thirty feet high
and eighteen feet thick, built of blocks
of hewn stone, laid in cement, which is
hard and durable as the stone itself.
Within the walls iron pots have been
found and vases with ornam entail han
dies. 1t is supposed that the Inhabitants
of these cities in their day utilized the
rich mineral resources of Transvaal, as
there are numerous mines within the
limits of the republic which were evi-
IDENTIFY worked in former ages, but have
been long abandoned.
A Mr.. Guzman, who is promoting the
organization of company for the con-
struction of railroad from Pretoria to
Delagoa Bay, says that near the Limpo-
po River he found one hundred and
sixty pits which had been worked for
minerals. He recently exhibited at the
diamond fields specimens of ores taken
from these pits which were very rich,
and included copper, tin, silver ,bismuth
cobalt, nickle and quicksilver. Alluial
and quartz gold has been found in diff
ferents places in Transvaal, but reports
differ as to the richness of the depos-
its.
The stories in relation to the buried
cities seem to be fully authenticated, but
boast made by the inhabitants of
Sofela, port lying parallel with the
largest of them, that they have docu-
ments which proved the ruined town in
their neighborhood to be Ophir, and
''identify it with the Queen of Sheba, +"
remains to be substantinted by the pro-
duction of the documents.

Advice to Young Ladies.

At the agricultural fair in Santa Cla-
ra, prices were offered for the best cooks
among the unmarried ladies. This is a
move in the right direction, and we hail
the fact as an evidence that we are to
return to the simplicity of early times,
when our wives were help-meets instead
of "help-eats;" when the young wife
brought to the matrimonial copartner-
ship Willingness to bear her share of
the burden and labor of life; when one
silk frock, one china tea-set, half doz-
en- OF silver spoons, and counterpanes
of her own patchwork, were evidences
of the simplicity of her taste, the econ
omy of her life, and the promise of fu-
ture industry. Now the young bride
must begin where her mother leaves off.
Her outfit is trousseaa, a gorgeous
house, rich in upholstery, mirrors, cary
ings, and ornamentations of paint, plas-
ter, silk, and velvet; she sneers at
cottage where love is, and prefers the
cheap and snowy boarding house to her
own but humber home. The Santa
Clara fair gives not only prize for the
best young cook who can manage a
cheap and economical dinner, but other
prizes will be hanging around within
scent of the sayory viands to nose them
selves out wife-awkward, beardless,
robust young farmers, ready to offer
themselves, their virtuous lives, their
industrious habits, their well titled
farms, to q bride who will know how
to preside over the multifarious duties
of home in the country. We advise
our city girls to go in and win. Show
the country maiden that you, too, know
how to broil and bake, fry and stew;
then, for the finish to your feast, give
an extra dessert-something to tickle
farmers palate, and ten to one you will
steal away from the country girl the
honors and lovers of the day.. And
when the farmers boy a-wooing comes,
accept his hard hand and honest heart
as surer anchor and firmer trust than
the half-gentleman, half-hoodlum, who
parts his hair in the middle and offers to
share with you the chances in his lotte-
ry of life. If we had a thousand sweet
hearts, we would advise all save one to
go to the country. If we bad thous-
and genteel, half-starved city friends,
fighting the grinning fiend of genteel
poverty, striving to keep up appearan-
ces, living beyond their means, in con-
slant dread Of what the world would
say, slaves to society, we would say, go
to the country. With half-a-hundred
acres of Gods bountiful soil, you may
live happy, healthful, independent, self
respected, and contented.-San Francis
