Personal Habiis of the ROerS.

A very strong conviction that | have
formed is that the BQers OF the Trans

the world. Neither man nor woman
ever takes off a shirt when once he or
she has put it on till it drops to pieces,
and well remember the expOstulations
of one of the best Beers in the Trans
vaal when he saw me commit what he
considered the fearful imprudence OF
going to sleep in night shirt. why,
you will get cold Take off your clothes
when You go to sleep! Never heard OF
such a thing r. You should see the
Beers in the Volksraad with their long
greasy hair swarming with lice and their
clothes alive with heas. They nre cap
itaI good shots and good riders, but
never a Boer yet would do stroke OF
work that he could make a black man
do for him. They never pillow; the
black man ploWs, and if the black man
objects he is persuaded 10 withdraw his
objections by the SHAMROCK. The Boer
has his Kailir in hand, you may depend
upon it. There is no doubt in the
Transyaal as to who is master. Every
native is attached to some farm. Any
native found wandering without master
can be locked up or appropriated by the
first Boer who finds him. -AtG5t0n Prior,

GLIMPSES OF CADET LIFE.
Loves of the Boys in Gray at West Point |
Down Filtration Walk.

Once, according to report, Benjamin
Franklin remarked that there were three
things he never could understand. One
was. why boys should climb up the trees
after green apples, when if they would
stand below long enough the apples
would get ripe and drop off themselves;
another was, why men should go to war
to kill each other, when if they wonld
wait little while their enemies would
die in the course of nature; and the
third was, why the boys should go court
ing the girls, when if the girls were let
alone they would come sesz-s;=2er Al a
boys. Just this last state of affairs has,
come about at West Point, says letter.
The girls that stay at the surrounding
hotels have a chance of catching q cadet
on the fly, but at the West Point Hotel
they can put in about eighteen hours
steady counting every day. and more on
Sundays. The cadets are not allowed
beyond certain radius around the camp
without permission, but the girls get
over that by going down in droves and
and gangs to the dividing line. Early
in the morning the rats, dressed in beau
tiful fresh costumes, take up the line of
march for this debatable ground; they
may be seen strolling off by twos and
threes toward the trysting place. There
are always cadets in waiting, and they
are divided up among the girls as far as
they will go. All day long this goes on,
varied by strolls around Filtration Walk.
This romantic spot is remote, unfriend-
ed, solitary, but not slow; on the con-
trary, it is extremely rapid. Down by
the cliff is Kosciusko's garden-a flat
place with fountain in the middle, with
Kosciusko's name engraved on it. This
was the favorite haunt of the Polish
patriot during the time that he lived at
West Point, and still retains his name.
Kosciusko was extremely popular among
the officers, who agreed with Tom Hood
that the Poles had a perfect right to
stick up for themselves. The Polish ex-
lie affords an endless subject of CONVEX
sation to the cadets and the rats dur
ing their perambulations through Fir
tation Walk. Often two little tadpoles
of different sexes are seen entering the
walk, conversing intently about Kosci-
usko, and when they emerge, three
hours later, they are still talking about
Kosciusko. Dear, innocent souls
What a lot of fun you do afford the
hardened, old turnbacks who know how
it is themselves
