A Struggle for Life with Baboon.

The particulars appended are taken
from South African paper MIR. John
Pringle, who lives with Mr.. Christian
Neser, in the Hantam, went few days
since in search of stray sheep, taking
his double barreled shot. gun with him.
While climbing a mountain he suddenly
came upon five full grown male balloons,
and thoughtlessly fred and disabled
one of the number, the others beating a
retreat. Pringle then went up to the
disabled animal in order to put it out of
it's misery. when two of the others made
rush to their wounded comrades as
sistance.
Pringle saw them coming when only
twenty yards off, and fired his remaining
barrel, in his hurry missing both, but
soaring one of them away. But the
other made for his human antagonist,
and sprung upon him, gripping him by
the shoulder with one pair of hands,
and holding to his waist with the other.
In a jify the animal had tore off Prin-
gle's upper clothing, and was gnawing
at his throat, which was fortunately
protected by several folds of thick
handkerchief, and the animals teeth be-
ing very long prevented him from open
ing his mouth wide enough to get a good
hold. A struggle ensued, but Pringle
could not get rid of his assailant until
he (Pringle) tripped and fell on his side,
when, as he lay, he caught the balloon
by the throat with his right hand, and
succeeded in getting him under.
He then seized stone and battered
the animals head until life was extinct.
Fortunately for him the remaining three
held aloof, or the consequences might
have been very serious. Mr.. Pringle,
who is strong and active man, stand
ing several inches over six feet in his
stockings, tells us he has several times
had to struggle hard with strong men,
but he never had tougher job than to
master that babocn. These animals are
very destructive, and do great damage
to lands and gardens. Mr.. Moolman,
of Zaaifontein, Hantam, had fine lot
of watermelons, which he had intended
to bring to market. When he went to
pick them he found that the balloons
had been before him and scooped out
the pulp of every ripe melon on the
land.

ST. MATTHEW'S AND ST. MARKS,

St. Marks and St. Matthew's are two
churches in an inland city, whose biog-
raphies may interest some of the read
erS of Sunday afternoon. Why should
not churches have their biographies as
well as individuals? They have their
characters, even to idiosyncrasieS and
hobbies; they dif1use an influence about
them, wholesome or mwholesome, pre-
cisely like an exaggerated type of hu-
man being.
These two churches were born in the
same religious family, at the same time,
they held the same creed, possessed
about the same resources Of property
and social influence and clgture. They
should have been as alike as twins.
But they were totally unlike st.
Marks was an offshoot from the Old
congregation of St. Peters. There was
really no reason in any difference be-
tween the creeds or opinions Of the
mother church and the seeding body
for any separation. The real reason
lay in the merits of q certain Rev. Jacob
Supplee, who had won the younger
portion of his congregation to be hik dis
ciples. He was ayoung, warm-Dlookied
man, with talent for assault. EFey
Sunday he attacked some hereby or
heterodoxy, from the date I ,heh5 to
Strauss and DarwR, win teu aiffy dash
and brayado tbgt Swept his hearers
along with him. On Friday he "cram,
med " with the dogmas of the inhdel
selected whether Gnostic, PoSitiviSt or
Scientist, on Saturday he demolished
them in so minutes sermon, and on
Sunday hurled it at them, while his dis
ciples triGmphed VIGOROUSLY as one
host of Pharoah after another went
down beneath the waves OF his rushing
eloquenee.
Feeling themselves hampered by the
old conservative members of St.Peter'S,
they resolved ON separation For six
months they worShiped in hired hall.
As we before stated, there was much
wealth and culture in the new church.
The majority of them lived in houses
built and decorated in accordance with
what their owners considered artistic
truth. Many of them had been in Eu-
rope and had brought back statues, pic
lures, Persian carpets and 6ric-G,6raC
for their homes. Naturally when these
people, on Sunday mornings, went out
of the beauty and softness and color of
their own homes into the square hall of
the church, with its white-washed walls,
hemp carpeting and wooden chairs,
they were chilled and disguised. Their
conscience grew uneasy. WHAT right
had they to lavish money on their own

EngIand's Ability to Fight.

In view of the possibility of war with
Russia, John Bull is actively taking
stock of his military resources, and his
comfortable conclusion is that the nation
was never better able to fight than now.
To be sure the English standing army
is hardly more than a corporal's guard
compared with that of any of the first
class continental powers, and, with all
the reserves and volunteers added, it
would still be outnumbered by the hOrdes
of conscripts which the vast Russian
Empire could pour forth. But it is not
numbers alone that tell, and England
vaunts herself upon the superior quality
and equipment of the men she could
send into the field; put, most of all, her
reliance is placed in the Kingdoms I'M
limited material resources and credit.
England can borrow untold millions at
about per cent, while Russia must pay
over 6, and the Lord is quite as much
on the side of the long purse in modern
warfare as that of the heavy artillery.
1t has been somewhat the fashion
among frst-class European powers to
regard England as OF steadily lessening
military cOnsequeence-as an old and
toothless lion, too studiouS OF its COM
fort and general welfare to be readily
provoked into combat, or of cOmpara-
lively small account if, by chance, it
should roar and enter the lists. And
the country's persistent neutrality dur
ing all the turbulent vicissitudes of Eu-
ropean map-making for generation
back has lent some color to this belief !;
yet, after all, these years in which the
nation has lain fallow are but another

MY FRIEND.

No sage with well developed skull,
Exceeding wise and very dull;
Polite, pedantic;
No guardian with DracOnic views
TO drive his ward to mournful muse,
OT protests frantic.
No Damon, good at gun or hook,
With whom to "do" the last new book
BY Streamlet shady
NO-she is none of all the three,
But just-sO much the worse for me
little lady!
White brow framed in with pale gold hair
Two dimpled cheeks, thought too fair
For mOrtals' rapture;
A child's frank smile, unclouded, warm;
A charming wOman's graceful form,
inviting capture!
Brimful of wicked innocence,
Her eyes meet yours with arch pretense
OF meanings tender;
Then sink abashed, reluctant, slow,
Behind the rich red sunset glow
Her bushes lend her.
A little triSte, she likes to nurse
A sadness born of tender verse
And touching stories;
Ger "In MemOriam" she mOpeS,
And dreams she's buried all her hopes
This fair Dolores!
Your friend! All! yes. For us it seems
That friendships purer ensign CLEANS
Der Cupid's crescent.
Across The gulf we may not pass
We laugh, and idly chat, alas!
And find it pleasant.
Just while it lasts. But ah! who knows
What fate NAV hide beneath the rose
Fol- hearts uncertain?
We run the risk. She's free to sigh
Or smile for whom she will, and /
I'll drop the curtain.

For some time past, owing to a

currents. the heat in the lower levels
OF the bonanza mines has been al
most intolerable. As many as Is men
have been brought to the surface
overcome by the heat, during one
shift, and those who managed to
hold out were unable to work over
ten minutes without rest in the
cooling-off place. This was deemed
too expensive working, and it was
finally determined to lay of all the
men employed in hot ends and

cured. In pursuance of this de-
termination, about $50 men were laid

HOW 5000 MAY BE WON.
Jos. Munckton's Offer to ANY
Democrat In this "Natiop."

Jos. Munckton's Offer to Any
Democrat In this "Nation."
Any Democrat in this nation, "as
they call it," who believes in the sue
cess of his party in the next Presi-
dental campaign, can testify to
his faith in the neatest manner
possible by simply depositing $500
in the Virginia Savings Bank, and
allowing it to remain there at inter.
est for the next two years. Jos.
Munckton, Of this city, has won
$500 from the Democrats on the
election Of Kinkead, and he pro-
poses to give some Democrat a
chance to win that amount back.
Mr.. Munckton's money is ready at
this Office. We do not anticipate
any great rush to cover it, as the
Democrats were so badly beaten in
the recent elections throughout the
Union that they are dispirited and
demoralized, and doubtless fear that
they will never again attain to SUI
premacy in national councils. But,
be that as it may, Mr.. Munckton's
cash is in our hands, and, if 1t is not
covered shortly, it will. be returned to
him. Under the head of "New To-
Day." Mr.. Munckton states his propo-
sition in detail.
