POndO1and.

A correspondent of the London Globe
writes: " l am one of the very few white
people that have ever visited Pondo-
land. l have lately returned from that
country and possibly some of my expe-
riences may be found interesting.
Pondoland is fertile district northeast
Natal. 1t is now under the protector
ate of Cape Colony. The reasons for
this new protectorate are obvious. In
the first place, by establishing it we
have completed the half circle of Brit
ish colony which now extends in I'M
broken succession between Cape Town
and Natal, thus making us virtual pro-
tectors of the whole seabOard and ports
between those two points. In the
second place, we have kept out other
nations-the Germans and the Dutch,
for instance-who have for some time
cast longing eye upon the fertile
plains of Pohdoland. The Pondos are
rich nation so far as cattle is con-
cerned, and their country allows
them to grow mealies and corn and to-
bacco in profusion without much trouble
and labor, Pondoland is very noun
famous, and at the same time extremely
well watered. The seashore is covered
with brush and forest. The principal
trade of the country enters Pondoland
across the river Umtumvuna from Ma
tai, or by way of Umtata from King
Williams Town through Tembuland,
which lies Immediately southeast. The
exports of Pondoland are principally
hides, horn and cattle. The traders of
the country have been hitherto outlaws
and other adventurous persons who
have chosen to reside beyond British
jurisdiction. In many cases they have
exercised wise discretion. The Pondo
men lead very lazy lives. They scarcely
ever do any work. They leave to the
women the cultivation of the mealie
gardens and the hewing of wood and
drawing of water. To the boys they
leave the herding of the cattle. 1t is
difficult to say what they do but lie and
thieve and cheat, and in sufficiently
formidable numbers (rendering resist
ance impossible) attack store, carry
off the goods of the unhappy store
keeper, and murder him if he protests
too vehemently at the loss of his blank
race altogether. Pondoland contains
plants of valuable medicinal properties,
and the number of poisons in the coun-
try is very large. The Pondo does not
scruple to make use of the latter when
ever occasion requires an Objectionable
person to be quietly removed The
grass, or veldt, of the country is, as
rule, too rich for sheep, but is adj
mirably suited to cattle and horses,
which are very numerous. There
are very few Beers, if any, in the
country, most of the traders being
British or Griqua half-castes. Tribal
wars are frequent, and the power of
the paramount chief is but very par
TALLY recognized, even in his own
neighborhood. Justice is consequently
perfectly out of the question, there be-
ing no one to administer or execute it,"

PURIFY YOUR BLOoD.-Among other
spring preparations, do not neglect that
which is most important of all-your
own body. During the winter the
blood absorbs many impurities, which,
if not expelled, are liable to break out
in scrofula or other disease. The best
spring medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t expels every impurity from the blood
and gives strength to every function Of
the body. Sold by all druggists.

A bluebrd on a budding limb

The sap runs DER the buckets rim.
Haste to the bush away.
The crocus, unafraid to blow,

Under the sod but haste to show
The violet the way.
over the leaves and grass wen tramp,
Like gypsies blithe and gay,
And light fire within the camp
At rosy dawn of day.
Wen spread upon the cooling snow,
Beneath the bending spray.
The liquid sweet, clear in its flow
And lucid rs the ray.
Our kettles DER the fire shall swing
Before the break of day;
Let the sweet bush with laughter ring,
And mirth her sceptre sway.
The frost has turned the tree-tops white,
Like heads that grief turns gray
When sorrow overwhelms with night
The sunshine of the day.
But we with joyful hearts will meet,
And work will seem like play
And our reward will be the sweet
Round loaves at close of day.
Our rudy sweethearts will be there,
And time flies where they stay;
How light the burdens that we bear
When beauty lights the way

"A number of new corners from
the North have been looking over
our country for farms during the last
week. Old winter is already putting
on his white robe of snow in their
Northern homes, and they find our
genial Southern cline a most COM
Portable change. 1t is not probable
that we will have any severe winter
weather for month yet, and then
nothing to compare with what these

The Peoples National Bank moved
into its new room in the Potts Block
last Monday, where the officers in
vite call from all having business to
transact in financial circles. They
have pretty new counter railing,
and when the room is papered and a
few finishing touches Of paint and
varnish added, they will have one
of the handsomest banking houses in
the country. The public will find the
officers of this institution pleasant, af-
fable gentlemen, always ready to ex-
tend every accommodation consistent
with sound business practices, and
the customers of the bank will find
their large new vault a safe recepta-
Gle for all valuable papers.
The store house of F. G. Smart
& Co., at Smartt's Station, in this
county was robbed of something over
fifty dollars in cash on Wednesday
night. The money stolen was all sill.
yer, and nothing else in the house
was disturbed. The burglars enter.
ed through a window, which was Sc.
cured in the old fashion way with an
iron bar, bolt and key. The key was
broken in some mysterious manner
yet the window facing and shutter
showed no marks of pricing. The
cash drawer was taken about a quar-
ter of a mile from the house, and lot
of accounts, tickets and checks it con
tanned were torn into small bits anc
piled upon the ground.
