The district of Uiteuhage is Just now
rather overrun with wild animals of the
larger kind, and on hours ride from the
town would bring tho sportsmcn into the
haunts of elephants and tigers. On Monday
morning, as MIR. Fourie Of Wolvekop was
coming into town, he passed through large
herd of elephants at the Coega. Gen. Nix
on's estate, Balmoral, seven miles from town,
is actually overrun with the huge animals |:
and they have become very troublesome on
the generals farm, d ,crn Krsal, occupied
by Col Ashburner, tearing down the fences,
destroying crops, and scattering even the
prckly pears in all directions The place is
about eight miles from Uitenhsge. The
farm, Kamachs, which adioins Uitenhsre
and may be reached In % minutes. i lust
now subject to great e,lructon from porcu.
pines, bush bucks and tigers.
On Sunday afternoon last Mr. Harry
Marshall, Of her msiesty's customs narrowly
escaped an encounter with tiger He was
spending the day with Mr.. Clark at the farm
Kamachs, and in the afternoon went for
quiet stroll, gun in hand, along the kloof
to the fuvorite picnic spot near the dam,
and suddenly came upon tiger drinking at
the stream. He impulsiyely leveei the gun
at the beas and pulled the trigger, but the
cap missed fire. The animal then, with
snarl. ascended the celebrated wild hg tree,
the bark of whit ch is scored all over with the
names of pleasure'seekers who have from
time to time visited the spot. Mr.. Marshall
attempted a second time to fire, with no bet !
ter r suit than at first. 1t then occurred to him
that it might possibly be fortunate for him
that his gun refused hre, for had he wounded |
the brute It certainly would have attacked |
him.
Mr. Clarlle's ostrich camps have been
greatly disturbed lately by tigers, the spoors |
Of which have been found in the camp, ard |
on one occasion the tigers hair found on the
claw Of the bird indicated an encounter in |
which the ostrich came Off victor A grand |

prices tthe stock exchange during themonth
of October, continues 10 be feature at the
stock exchange. In the rise spectators led
the movement, and they are also leading the
decline, and in neither case could they be sue.
cessful without the following of outsiders.
Neither rise nor fall can properly be con.
strued as foreshadowing the future. To
speak generally Of the country, there is but
one opinion on this subject. It is known
that the business of the country is highly
prosperous, and it is the universal opinion
of those of all shades of political opinion
that il will continue for mqny years, the
tluctuating in speculative markets being only
a surf or wave movement on the rising tide
of prosperity.

The election has passed quietly here,
though since, there is talk upon the streets
of II contest by some of the defeated county
candidates, upon the grounds of illega'ity Of

certain requirements of the law not being

Montenegrin Women.

Deprived of all moral and social
pleasure enjoyed by her sex elsewhere,
it might be fancied that the woman of
the Black Mountain would find in her
home reward for the hardships she
endures and for her unremitting de.
votion to the men Of her family. Moth.
ing of the kind. Within the compass
of the domestic walls the men are even
more brutal than despotic. However
careful the wife, the husband finds a
pretext for scolding and grumbling.
The wife who demonstrates is soon
convinced that silence is the best po-
Icy. No Montenegrin woman dares
concern herself in her husbands af.
fairs. Whether he goes out or comes
in, she is not permitted to make any
inquiry, nor show in any way that she
worries over his prolonged or unusual
absences. When he is absent his wife,
though threatened with death, will
never reveal his whereabouts. No
husband writes to his wife, no matter
how long he is away from home. In
the vicinity Of Mustar l met woman
whose husband had been two years at
Constantinople. Through friend
indiscretion she learned of his where.
abouts sixteen months after the sepa.
ration. At first I thought I had met
with a very rare exception, but soon
discovered that it was the general rule.
A Montenegrin laughed at me when ]
expressed indignant surprise. "Write
to woman-to ones own wife!' said
he in scorn. care we doves or men?''
