THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
A Plan OF Invasion that may ProionE the
War over Two Campaigns

LONDON, May 26.-Despatches from Cape
Town say that the Dragon Guards will go TO
the Transvaal. not TO Zululand. Some accounts
say that the change is intended to overawe the
Beers. and others that those troops are TO guard
the border.
The Daily NetrS' correspondent with Col
Wood at Kambula telegraphs. under date OF the
4th inst. that he understands that the scheme
for an invasion will undergo important modi-
flcations. Tho idea Of concentration on Doom
berg has been abandoned. Col. Newdigate's
column will Concentrate some miles further
north. Col Woods brigade Is no longer in
tended 10 act Independently on Col. Newdigate's
flank. but the two forces will amalgamAte when
tur Invasion commences. The line q march
Will probably he along the Umvelosi River. 1t
Is thought that the Zulus will make n strong

cutting adrift from the base when the advance
is begun will be abandoned. and a chain Of for
titled posts I've constructed as the invasion pro-
cheds. TO which escorted conveys will convey
necessary supplies. This must retard progress.
The conviction is general that the war will be
prolonged over two campaigns.

Brooklyn boys Losing Their Leader through

Four Brooklyn boys, John Murtha, Henry
Winnie Fred. Prentiss. and Harry Rogers. dis
appeared late on Sunday night from their
homes at 2s2 Tompkins avenue G39 Greene
avenue, AIS Van Buren street and 920 Lafayette
avenue. in accordance with a preconcerted
plan. All four are about 16 years of age. Their
plan was to go West to make their fortunes
The boys are all respectfully connected. and
were pupils in one OF the public schools. They
had arranged TO rendezvous at Tompkins and
Greene avenues at IL O'Clock on Sunday night.
Their outfit consisted of four army blankets
three saddles to be used on the backs ot the
mustangs they expected to capture, four small
reyOlvers. and an assortment Of yellow back ed
literature,
The four were at the appointed spot half an
hour before the time SET for their departure.
and young Murtha formally assumed command
OF the party IL seems. however. that at the last
minute Murtha found tnat he had leit behind
him the photograph OF girl to whom he WAS
attached. aud being unwilling 10 10 away with

structions to his companions to await his re-
turn. Murha succeeded in making his way TO
his room and securing the precious photo

accidentally awoke his father. who arrested the
garden fence. The lather. who had supposed
that he was pursuing burglar, WAS onsldera-
bly, nstOnlshed 10 fnd that the fugitive was his
son. Master Murtha was marched to the police
station and relieved of his revolver and ten
cents. which was all the money he had in his
possession. He was kept there until morning
when he returned home in much less adven-
turous frame Of mind.
The other boys have not been seen or heard

KNITTING.

Knitting gaily in the sunshine,
While the fragrant roses blow,
And the light wind stirs the petals
Till they fall like fakes Q. snow;
Laughing gladly. glancing shy!y.
At the lover By her side
Saucy dimples. coy confessions.
All maiden's love aud pride;
Weaving in with skiIlfuI fingers
Girlish f.ncies. pure desires,
While the brightness Of the future
Flashes through the twinkling wires
And young hearts fond ambitions,
Tender hopes and golden dreams,
Deepens as the sunlight deepens
With It's thousand darts and CLEANS.
Knitting silent in the shadows,
With dropping. weary head,
Gazing ont INTO the twilight
Whence the life and light had fed;
Moving nervelcss. laDguid fingers.
Striving 10 be bright in vain,
And to still the hearts wild futter.
Throbbing in It's mighty pain;
Working through the silky texture
All a womans anguished fears,
Looking out on past and future
Through mist OF burning tears.
Knitting patient in the twilight,
Quiet bearing al! her woe,
While the roses shed their petals
In . fragrant summer snow.
Knitting ferccly. in the anguish
Ola burning, fiery strife;
Or quietly in the sunlight
OF calm hearts happy life.
Knitting heavily and slowly,
In LIES last ftful hours;
Or skillfully and gaily,
Among the summer flowers,
Weaving in a glorious future.
Or souls dull aching pain,
With the memory of pleasures
That will never come again.
Thus womans life il bounded
BY humble, daily task.
Meekly taking up her burden,
Psusing not to strive or ask.
Ali how many hearts beside US,
Were We not so worldly wise,
Might we see in gentle moments,
Looking out frem wistful eyes;
And how often, did we listen.
Meath a gay and laughin,; tone.
Could We hear the bitter yearnings
OF strong hearts restless moan.

The Postage Stamp Mania.

notwithstanding the frequent ex-
posures of the folly OF the thing, there
are some silly persons who believe that
the Government will pay a good price
for million postage stamps. Many is
the boy, or girl, who has been persuaded
to go into the laborious task of collect
ing million of old stamps under the
impression that one would promptly re-
ceive check for five hundred dollars, or
thereabouts, upon delivery of the pile of
stuff at Washington. Now there is a
side to this question, which, if properly
presented may persuade the victims of
the stamp mania to employ their time
more profitable. a writer in the Sci
| entifc american sets forth that the real
object of collecting these stamps is to
cheat the Government by washing of
the Posteffice mark by means of chemic-
al preparation, and then selling the
stamps again. Investigation will show
that they will 60 through various chan
nels to certain parties who are engaged
in defrauding the revenue. 1t is hard.
ly necessary to repeat that the Govern
ment does not pay cent for old stamps.
