The Oath Of the TransyaaI Beers.

The following is a translation of
the oath of mutual confidence taken
by great number of respectable
Transvaal Beers at the Wonderfon-
tein meeting, It will strike most
people that it is the oath of men
who arc to be respected, and that
such men are likely to SECURE the
sympathy of the great bulk of the
English nation;
"In the presence of Almighty God,
the searcher of all hearts, and pray
ing for his gracious assistance and
mercy, we, burghers of the South
African Republic, have solemnly
agreed, for us and for our children,
to unite in a holy covenant, which
we confirm with a solemn oath. It
is now forty years ago since our
fathers left the Cape Colony to be-
come a free and Independent people.
These forty years have been years of
sorrow and suffering. We have
founded Natal, the Orange Free
State, and the South African Repub-
lie (TransvaaD, and three times has
the English Government trampled
on our liberties, and our flag, bap-
tized with the blood and tears of our
fathers, has been pulled down. As
by a thief in the night has our free
been stolen from us. We
cannot suffer this, and we may not.
It is the will of God that the unity
of our fathers and the love of our
children should oblige us to deliver
unto our children unblemished, the
heritage Of our fathers. It is for
this reason that we here unite and
give each other the hand, as men
and brethren, sOlemnly promising to
be faithful to our country and peo-
pie, and, looking unto God, to work
together unto death for the restora-
ton of the liberty of our Republic.
So truly help US, God Almighty
I Natal Witness.

Manly Pnra Irnn nannsits.

One of the most important mines in
the Leadville district is the Breeze iron
mine, on Breeze Hill. This consists Of
an enormous vein Of almost pure hema-
tite. which has been taken out in large
quantities during the past year and
sold to the smelters to be used rs a fux.
Careful analyses Of this ore prove that
it contains only from u to 2 per cent,
of foreign matter, and it has been pro-
nouneed by competent experts to be
equal in quality to the best African
iron, which, says 4. L. W., in the New
York Tribune, I believe, has been con-
sidered the best in the world. The
vein seems to be almost inexhaustible.
Dipping into the hill toward the north
east at an angle Of about 20 degrees,
the ore is 20 feet thick from top to
bottom, and has been explored for a
distance Of 50 to 60 feet at right angles
to its length without exhibiting any
signs Of giving out. The iron ore is
now purchased by the smelters at 81
ton, and it is expected that large guam
titles Of it will be used for the manufact-
ure Of steel rails in the extensive works
now erecting at Pueblo.

Correspondence Of the NEWS.
Judge Patton and the School Book
Question.

Mt. ORAB, o. March IA, 1881.
Ed. NEWs-Please to allow space
fer a few remarks on Judge Patton's
recent speech in the Legislature, on
the subject of School Books. He
says, ''the school children of Ohio re-
quire at least 81, 100000 worth Of
school books a year, on which there
is a profit of atleast $4,000" This
is not much profit. I suppose he
means 100000 profit. This would
be 45 5 II per cent, which does not
agree with what he says concerning
the Eclectic Reader. He says the
Reader can.be made at a "eost of
less than 10 cts" If he means by this
that the whole Series of Readers can,
be made at q cost of less than 10
cents, I think he is mistaken.
He says, "The Cincinnati Enquir-
er contains more matter in a single
number than an Eclectic Fourth
Reader" Suppose it does, of what
kind of matter is it composed? Muir
der stories, politics and advertise
ments,-something unfit for chill
dren to read. He does not estimate
cost of binding, qualities of paper
used, nor kinds of type, &c.
Why does he mention the firm of
Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., when
they sell books cheaper than any
other firm in the State He says
the Eclectic Fourth Reader costs SOC. |
but it costs only SOC. He compares
the Cincinnati Enquirer with the
Fourth Reader, when there are no
points of comparison. The points Of
are many. ELI SRoUFE.

The Preacher Gets Lah

George BoYard Is, says the FlttsDufgh
Commercial, the name Of ayOung Meth
Odist minister, who attended the annual
conference of the NJ. E. church at Mer-
Ger, a couple of years ago. While there,
he and a Young lady teacher Of the Sol
diers' Orphan school, located in Mercer,
fell in love with each other. Her name
was Clara Shaffer He was about to
start for India to Christianize the heath
en-. A correspondence kept up between
the two, and he wanted her to come to
him, be married, and assist him in his
labOrs. He had no money to pay her
expenses, and she had none. In this
emergency, a few months ago, she made
a confident Of Dick Wright, a heavy
clothing merchant Of Mercer, and he
being a big-hearted man with generous
impulses, offered to supply her with
what money she needed to reach her
far-Of lover. She gladly accepted his
offer, and at once began her prep
aratiOns for the long journey. ''DiCk''
and Miss Shaffer were thrown much
together for awhile, and about
the time she was ready to start he was
deeply iu love with her himself. But
he said nothing, and she started for
New York with enough of ''Dick'S'
money in her pocket to take her to In
dia.
Two or three days after her depar-
ture he grew despOndent, and chided
himself for having given away his
chancesfor marrying Miss Shaffer him
self. A thought struck him, and that
was to follow her, and, if possible, oY-
ertake her before she boarded steam
er in New York for distant India. He
acted promptly on the thought, took the
ears, reached New York, and fOnnd the
vessel on which she was to sail. Miss
Shaffer was already on board; he made
known his affection, and asked her for
her hand for himself, was accepted, and
the two returned to Mercer a few days
ago as man andwife.
The outcome is a little rough on the
who is wrestling with super
stitiOn and idolatry in the jungles Of
India.

The attempted abduction Of q prima
donna has been the subject Of much
gossip in Vienna. Some time ago,
about the hour when Mile. Blanchi was
performing the title role in BrulPs
''Blanca, at the Opera-hOuse-a part
in which the heroine allows herself to
be led to the altar by the first cavalier
who presents himSelf-her WOuld-be
abductOr was laying his plot before the
Rrtiste's cOachman, and endeavOring by
bribe to induce him to enter into the
scheme. The shreWd fellow unhesitat-
ingly assured the gentleman that he
would do everything in his power to
promote the success Of the project. On
the departure of the stranger the driver
at once disclosed the circumstances to
the managerial authorities at the
theatre. The following night, after de-
posting Mile. Blanchi and her mother
as usual at their residence, the coach
man drove hastily to the rendezvous
agreed upon, where the languishing
lover had for some time been Impatient
" awaiting his arrival. Upon seeing
the carriage the man rushed up to the
carriage door, where he was instantly
pOunced upon by two detectives
and carried off to the police station.
Upon investigation he turns out to be
a hare-brained lunatic, who, for a long
time past has been sending billets-dOuL
to the lady. He is now lodged in q
lunatic asylum.
