CHIEF KHAME, of the Bamangwato, Of
South Africa, who recently expelled
some drunken foreigners from Shoshong
and suppressed the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors, delivering one Of the most re.
markable temperance addresses ever
heard, has brother who was of a very
different character from himself. Indeed
Monare was known as the worst man in
own" the most interruptions, the most
vicious, the boldest, widest man among
he sons of old Sekhome." To his many
Had qualities, one Of which was drunken
ness, he added that Of hypocrisy. While
ne was continuing in his course Of sin, he

he lived In such way that, at last, the
whole town recognised the fact that he
was an altered man. He was kept a
while on probation, and then received as
a member of the church His prayers
are said to be remarkable One said he

Chrlsts bosom. He both breaches and

Makalaka, he, Mangwato and a son of

of his sincerity and humility. The mis-

South Africa.

According to a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times writing from South
Africa, that country is not such bad
place after all. The climate proves to be
one OF the healthiest in the world espe-
clally for pulmonary diseases, and English
and European consumptives and other
lnvallds are now resorting thither in in
creasing numbers, owing to its having
been so highly recommended by some
prominent medical men sent out to report
upon its climatic conditions. During the
past ten years the colonies have devel-
oped in a remarkable manner, and civil
sation has made strides which the average
European or American can hardly realise.
The discovery of diamonds in 1868. the
adoption of ostrich farming on an in
creased scale at about the same period
and the subsequent spread of Angora
goat farming have been special provi-
dences to South Africa, and have given
great impetus to trade and settlement.
Since about 1870 the recorded export Of
diamonds has been at the rate Of upward
OF $500, 900 a year, while it is estimat-
ed that 20 per cent. of that amount finds
Its way through the colonies and out OF
the country In private hands There is
still no decrease in the amount of stones
discovered, and several new fields have
been lately opened up, among them being
valuable field of which the Free State
rejoices in the possession.
Ostrich farming has developed into
large industry since it was first adopted
about fifteen years ago. Ten years ago
the annual export of feathers amounted
to only about 100000, while this years
export will amount to about $5,OOO,OOO.
Angora goat farming is no doubt destined
to eclipse even these, as the finest and
rarest breeds from Asia Minor have been
found to thrive as well on the Koroo
lands of the Cape as in their own native
plains and hills. The hair produced is
OF the most excellent quality, and the
Cape Angora goat is rapidly establishing
high reputation in the London markets.
With the increase of productive wealth,
public works and railroads have kept
good pace. The first experiment in
South African railways having been start
ed about 1860, much progress has of late
years been made in this direction. There
are now three systems of railroads in the
Cape Colony, leading from the three
principal seaports towards the interior,
intended to concentrate at the diamond
fields, taking in branches through the
Free State. Natal has line of seventy
miles, from the chief seaport of Durham
to Maritzburg, the capital, an extension
TO be made either into the Transvaal or
to the diamond fields There are now
in the Cape Colony 1000 miles of rail
road in operation, and the extension Of
the various lines, which should be com
pleted in the next five or ten years, will
add another 1000.

EprOR REPUBLICAN, i notice that the editor
Of the Clearfeld CifiEen is terribly exercised
concerning the welfare OF our schools aud the in
efficiency Of the County Superintendent and
seems TO glory In heaping abuse, not only upon
NJ l. McQuOwn, who Is faithful public officer,
but upon the convention that elected him. Before
that convention there were FIVE candidates all gen.
ueinen Of experience as educators, and who stood
high in the estimation Of the people Of the c0un.
ty, and worthy the position they we're seeking
Out Of this number one was to be chosen. Mr.
NJ. l.. McQuown was elected by majority Of the
members Of that convention. Politics had nothing
to do with that election and should not have IN
the future Your humble correspondent was q
member Of that convention, aud voted for the
present incumbent from the first ballot until ho
was elected and I have had no cause as yet, to
regret that Idone so. And if | were a member Of
the convention that will meet next May, | would
cheeriully repeat what done three years ago
Now, Mr. Editor, perhaps II state that have
voted the Democratic ticket for thirty -four years
Bixlor will say that I lie. Nevertheless have
done so and what IS more, have never bolted
nomination or Chopped from party to party.
Ny faith has always been strong in Democratic
principles even in the darkest hour OF defeat
/ trust that Mr. MeQuown will survive BiNler's
mean attacks, and be able to serve the people as
Superintendent for three years more for have
no doubt the directors Of lebrfeld county Of the
next tricnnial convention, fully hppreciating his
labors In the advancement of our public schools,
will triumphantly re elect him, which would be
but an act Of simple justice, as It is COZ eeded to
be two-tcrm once.
Yours, truly, WOLVERINE.
