BuZZers.

These good. natured people are not so
disagreeable as they have the reputation
of being, and their disagreeableness
would sink to a minimum did those who
are afflicted with them know how to get
rid of them after reasonable interval.
All that you have to do is to let the
buzzer run on at random. 1t is un-
necessary to say anything yourself.
Give him rope enough and he will tell
you everything he has been,
what he has done, whom he has seen,
and all about it. All that you have to
do is to grant an occasional yes or no,
and ply question here and there. He
is an indubitable bore, but he must be
endured, for in polite society it is not
permissible to pick quarrels with people
merely because they get us into corners
and talk to us overmuch.
The buzzer has his reward. 1t con-
sists in his estimate of himself. 1t
pleases him to think that he knows
everybody and that everybody knows
him; that his memory is stored with
anecdotes and that his tongue is never at
loss for words; that he can accustom
himself with sort of vulgar case to
any society he happens to be in and that
his incompatible cheek knows not what
blushine means. A man thus favored
by nature may make the world his home; /;
he would not be "silent upon peak in
Darien." No grandeur, no sublimity
would have the power to thrall him.
He makes good gabble, and on that ac-
count is acceptable ut lar e dinners or
small tea parties, ,-Neao YORK 1etegra'a'

The War in South Africa.

Z There are now 10000 British soldiers,
sailors and marines employed in the
South African campaign, or on their
way thither. The mere cost of the or
binary maintenance and pay of these
men averages $3.50 year, so that even
the first cost of the little war into which
Sir Bartle Frere and Lord Chelmsford
engaged with the light heart that M
Olivier boosted of when he proclaimed
the war against Germany, is no insig
nificant sum of money Some of the
London papers have mentioned rumor
that the military authorities, better in
formed of the future necessities of the
campaign than are the general public,
are intending to reinforce the troops al
ready in Africa by sending out a portion
of the Household Brigade, which is
never spared from England except in
cases of the utmost need. The latest
authentic accounts from South Africa
are by no means encouraging for Eng
lish readers. The Spectator does not at
all exaggerate the situation when it says
that d" a British army is being whitfield
away there without either glory or re-
ward" The London Times, in its money
article of the 10Th ultimo, states that the
expenditures of money necessitated by
the campaign in South Africa are not
less than S2,500,000 per week, and this,
too, while the British force has not yet
marched mile into the enemy's terri
tory and has, up to this time, been
wholly on the defensive. The difficult
ties of the projected advance are eEor-
mouss The Zulus have taken the pre-
caution to destroy the forests and the
grass upon which the British expected
to depend for their supplies of fuel and
of forage for their horses and cattle.
The army now is compelled to take its
supplies of forage and of fuel along with
| its other burdens; and this necessity not
only entails increased expense, but
| causes slower movements of the columns.
All the fighting thus far has produced
no result except that of obtaining the
power of retiring to some former posi-
tion.
The Spectator estimates that no less
than $500 ofthe best troops ofthe British
army have already been sacrificed in
this campaign, either through slaughter
or by disease. The climate is wretched,
the fatigue is great, the water is often
almost poisonous, and every mail which
reaches England brings its sad record OF
officers and men who have perished in
this inglorious and apparently useless
conflict. The supply of physicians is in
sufficient. One of the regiments EN-
ployed in this campaign was the Sixtietl
Rifles, than which there is no finer regi
ment in her majesty's service. This
regiment was left at Ginglihovo without
tents and water; and a correspondent
who found them after ten days of this
privation, draws fearful picture o
their condition. He states that 493 o
the regiment were on the sick list; tina
the colonel was prostrated the seniol
captain doubled up" 900 men in tn
ranks and only three Cfficers fit to tax
charge of them. The Spectator remark
that England in this campaign, even
it succeeds, twill have bought useles
territory at the rate of fl0 and one lif
per acre. ."-NeaO York Graphic.

last season with one deep founce or sew
eral smaller ones at the bottom.
Color in dress seems actually gone
mad this summer. All colors are fash
ionable, and in any desired combination
Blue and green, and rose-color and blue,
and yellow and red are combinations
constantly met with in every shade and
tone imaginable. The millinery, too,
partakes of this mingling of colors and
tones. Not only are bOrnets and hats
trimmed with several colors on the same
chapeau, but the straws themselves are
brought out in pure tones of red, blue,
green, gray, beige, and all the yellow
shades from orange and old gold to am
Der, canary and wax color. Then there
are other straws and chips whose varie-
gated braids give the jdrdiastere effect of
the dress they are intended to be worn
with. Gold and silver, and pearl and
steel, and silver and crystal ornaments,
and artificial flowers, lace, ribbon, silk.
and feathers are all used and frequently
combined in bonnet trimmings. AS for
the shapes of hats and bonnets, the
variety defies description.
Strange to say, after all this profusion
of supply of colored dress materials and
millinery, nine out of every ten women
| that you meet in the streets, at the thea
ters, receptions, and in the churches. are
dressed in black-not mourning, but
black-the dress, wrap, bonnet and veil,
all black. Moreover, there are more
black laces seen on bonnets in the streets
and in public places than white, and jet
ornaments and black plumes or tips take
the lead on Broadway, Fifth avenue and
in the park. American women show
good taste in this respect They wear
black when in public, but to mark that
it is not mourning, the black plumes
shade bright flowers placed in the back
of the bonnet, and not close to the face
and their ornaments and jewelry, and g
bit oflace made up into jGbOt or cascade
show that the wearer is in colors.
Colored robes are reserved for private
parties and home reception wear.-Neat

Darmstadt, Germany, is the region of
romance. A young man, son of a pro-
fessor in the gymnasium, walked with
his betrothed, young and pretty girl, to
a pond some two miles off in the adjoin-
ing wood; they there tied themselves to-
gether and jumped in, intending to end
their troubles in suicide; however, the
cold water brought the gentleman to his
senses and he contrived to free himself
and scramble out, leaving the poor girl,
in spite of her cries, to drown, which she
did. He was sentenced to three years
and nine months Imprisonment for the
offence. Now for an incident of less
tragic sort. The Darmstadt Football
Club, composed of English boys residing
there for education, got up a calico F"
ball. Three of the most adventurous
spirits hired boards for the occasion, but
instead OF carrying them home in their
paper wrappings from the hair-dresser's,
they unwisely put them on and then
walked home. 1t was late in the even
