WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 81.

BECHUANALAND.- Bechuanala Is the
paradise of the workingmsn. Ia the course
OF our soiourn We Fever saw beggar or q
starving person. Masons in Bechuanalaud
were getting wages of los. to e per diem,
and this with meat at sd. pound. Natives
in the coal pits we're getting IS. day
When we consider that Kafir'e food, Con
sisting of Boer meal pap, costs from sd. to
3d. day, there is good margin for saving.
We had Baralongs and Basutus working for
u.s. The former we found clever with their
fingers, but very poor in physique, with
great disinclination for hard work. TIE
Bssutos are fine race, megn'feentiy pro
portioned, and excellent workers. willing
aud intelligent. The superiority of tie Ba
suto and the Zulu is shown indisputably by
the fact that from them are recruited the
police and the searchers of the diamond
zelda. Some think it probable that the ma
tive races of South Africa came originally
from the South Sea islands, but, be that as
1t may, it is certain that Jewish customs o.
tain among them Circumcision Is universal
and the old Jewish law of raising up seed to
the deceased brother survives in the South
African tribal law, that when chief dies his
next brother marries bis widow, and the
children afterward boru fromthis upioD are
accounted the children of the dead man, not
of the living father.-Fortnightly RecieU.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronoIogically
is in the NINETgETII year of its ex.
istence, and is LOT only the Oldest
paper in the State. but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast Of the times
in all that pertains to NEWS paper
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they Increase are taken advan-
tage Of and used for the benefit OF
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given tomat-
tiers concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view 10 the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all TO
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section Of the
State, and in all parts of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an adyertis-
ing medium it has few equals out,
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

TAXArIoN AND noNps.

Mckinney Examiner: Under our pres
ent taxation we pay about 81 ZOO into
the road fund This money under our
present law accomplishes but little good i,
but if the county were authorized to
issue bonds il would pay the interest on a
large amount and provide a sinking fund
sufficient TO redeem them. Again our
county's assessed value is between eight
and nine millions. A tax of per cent.
on this would give US from $50 600
TO 500, 200, which would soon
enable us TO have splendid
system of roads, besides our county is
rapidly increa sing in wealth, and with
good roads a new impetus would be given
to Business of all kinds, and our taxable
values would in the course of a few years
be double, enabling us to raise the ne
cessary amount with lower rate of tax
alton. To us it seems that to issue bonds
is the most feasible and just way to meet
the question. 70 levy a tax would cause
all the burden to fan on those that now
pay taxes, while if bonds were issued
TO run from twenty to forty
years those who VIII derive most benefit

VOTED TO BE THE BEST

Cisco Roundup: For the past two
weeks the Fort Worth GAZETTE has been
publishing daily a column or two of the
compliments showered upon it by the
newspapers of all parts of the country
THE GAZETTE is pardonable in exulting
over its achievements and it would be I'M
grateful not to acknowledge the generous
praises bestowed upon it. By the
spontaneous consent of its contem-
pOraries THE GAZETTE is voted to be
the handsomest and best paper, not onl Y
of Texas, but of the South. This is q
very high honor. Fort Worth and North
Texas are interested in the reputation of
THE GAZETTE being maintained. It re-
quires very large patronage TO sustain
such paper, but it is an enterprise that
richly deserves encouragement and viii
make big returns for its patrons.

Cattle IN Montana. .

HELENA, NJ. T., Jan. l2.-Relative
to the condition of cattle in Montana
during the present season and the out
look for the winter, Conrad Kohrs, the
largest cattle raiser in Montana, said he
had never seen a more favorable state of
affairs during his twenty-five years res
idence in the territory. Cattle are thriv-
ing, and from all indications not single
head will be lost at the close of the win
ter. He estimates the seasons exports
from the territory at 100 900 head, and
the number driven in from Texas and
Wyoming at 155 900. Asked as to
whether stockmen had recovered from
the losss of 1867, he said, just about.
The past year s business in beef was very
large-far greater than any previous sea-
son, and good prices have had the effect
of putting stockraisers on their feet.

GOOD ROADS.
The Plea of the People for Road
Law
That VIII Give Texas Passable Highways.
All Sections of the State
in One Accord.
SUPERVISION NECEssARY.

Orange Tribune: The people of Texas
have been clamoring for law that will
insure good roads for many years, but so
far no such law has ever been enacted and
to-day one travelling ON horseback or in a
vehicle has almost as hard time getting
through the country as did our fathers
fifty years ago. Let's have a law that
viii insure good roads for our state. We
have tried the plan of letting every one
work between certain ages to keep up our
roads and all people work on the plan OF
doing as little work as possible on public
roads. What is wanted is at least one
man over every squad of men whose bust
ness it is to see that there is good, hon
est, substantial work put upon the roads,
and if such work can It be obtained any
other way the people should be taxed and
the roads let out by contract to men who
win put them in good order
