She Loves London.

Olive Schreiner, the author Of the "Story
Of an African Farm" Is only half German
Her father was a German missionary, who
married the 1S-year-old daughter of an Eng
hsh Presbyterian minister. Olive was the
ninth of their family of twelve children, all
born at a lonely mission station in South
Africa There were no white neighbors near
the mission station, and it was years before
the child saw town; yet, when she was
years old, the idea Of London had seized her,
and It had grown the desire of her life to go
there. With this object she began saving up
her pennies, in the belief that when she had
q pound 1t would be sufficient to defray the
expenses Of the journey. When she found
that sum was scarcely a sufficient one for her
purpose she determined to put off her visit
for awhile; but the intention never left her.
and when at length, seven years ago, she
found herself at last in the city Of her
dreams, there was no disappointment In the
realization Of the long cherished desire.

Dinner Table Decorations.

The fine damask cloth, in all its satiny per-
lection, Is recovering its supremacy, for in
London, at all events, brocaded OF embroid-
cred slips are fast losing ground They are
artistic, but connu, and in these days that is
enough to settle any claim to distinction or
course II, as some people have, there is q
piece of gold or silver brocade handy, the
artistic beauty of the material would be its
excuse and 1t would be appropriate for sill
yer wedding, but II there is nothing of
that intrinsically valuable kind available,
trust to the finest damask and as much silver
or plate as you can collect. Cut glass dessert
sets and vases are most fashionable and are
particularly beautiful flower holders Old
fashioned cake baskets, filled with wet moss
and white flowers such arums, stephano-
tbs. ETC., look lovely, while the old fashioned
decanter stands are simply perfect filed in
the same way and lightly yelled in maiden
hair, or gold or silver fern
II plate or cut glass is not easily attainable
the London florists use for wedding break
fasts baskets of different shapes, lined with
white plush or brocade, in which are hidden
receptacles for water, and these are filled
with flowers and green, the latter trailing
over the handles and being kept in place by
streamers of satin ribbon and silver cord,
while the bags OF satin or brocade shaped
Like sacks and caught in round the neck with
silver cord, form delicious cachepots. Such
bags are easy to make and are most effective
II made loose enough, while entirely hiding
the vase or pot to fall carelessly on the table
They look extremely well mixed with the
plush or satin lined baskets, which can be
made from Zulu hats, pinched into proper
shape and kept in with fine wire. These hats
are pretty silvered with Judson's silver paint
and lined fully with soft white merveilleux;
run piece of florists wire all round the edge
Of the hat and fasten Oh wire handle, which

BIG SWAMP.
Strange Feature on the Line of the c. T.
and Wv. Railroad.

Special Cor. Caucasian.)
OwENvILLE, n. c., April 81.
The convict force did not finish
the grading at Big Swamp when To-
Gated there, but will return for that
purpose when the lower end Of the
line is finished, which will be about
June first. This swamp, strange to
say, is higher than the adjacent lands
on either side, save the sand banks,
which seem to keep the water from
spreading from the channel. Who
can imagine a railroad running up
grade on hill to a swamp? But
such is the case on both sides of this
swamp; a grade of thirty feet on one
side and sixteen On the other. From
near the edge of the water out two
hundred feet there is an extremely
thick growth of small trees or BUSH
es, so thick that this writer was fore
ed to walk on top of the cluster Of
bushes, at distance of six feet from
the ground. Then comes a thick
growth of tall jumpers.
After the convicts had gone over
with bush Whacks, briar hooks and
other similar tools, and taken off the
under-growth, the right of way pre-
sented quite a picturesque scenery,
being thickly shaded with tall juni-
pers. Next we came to where the
right of way was covered with a
cluster of bamboo briars, with here
and there small pine. There was
little or no water on top of the turf,
for there seemed to be no land. At
ter passing through the turf a pole
could easily be set five or six feet
down into the mud. 1t was very
soft and shaky. Every stroke of an
axe could be felt a hundred feet
away and the falling of tree pro-
duced sensation that reminded one
Of the late earthquake. A ditch was
cut across this, swamp. After it had
been cut through the little ridge and
a few feet into the swamp al i'm
mense volume of beautiful red wa
ter started forth from each side,
which seemed to be inexhaustible.
Two weeks afterwards ii showed no
signs of exhaustion. This swamp
is five thousand and one hundred
feet wide. EN-GUARD.
