THE SOUTH AFRICAN.
Hardy. Courageous, Modest and Self.
COnAdent Race.

From the London Spectator.l
The English South African is altogether .
harder man than any other colonist, has less
pity for himself or any one else and 10, In
the way of steady, persistant endurance, per-
haps q stronger one. His very courage,
which is splendid, is differentiated by the
presence of an extra quantity of determine
ton, of resolve to contend with something
which he admits to be almost too strong for
him. He has very little cheeriness, bat also
very little disposition to give way. Take his
view of his country. The English South AZ
rican does not elbow" like the Australian,
and has not the sensitive pride of the Amer
ican; but he has, all the same, an intense
feeling about "Africa," and looks forward
to planting there powerful nationality.
He talks less of the future than most colon
ists, and is more disposed to see the gloomy
side; yet he will probably be the first, In
spirit rather of sourness than hope, to decline
further British protection and set up for him
self. He catches rather readily the Dutch
dislike for the British at home, and has a
contempt for his ignorance of African affairs
not qualified by any perception of his other
capacities.
Allowing for brighter intelligence and a
constitutional freedom from pitilessnsss, the
Englishman in South Africa tends to become
Boer, that is, a Teuton made hard and per-
sistant, and energetic in endurance, IL you
can understand that description of his variety
of energy, by pressing and unpleasant oiroum-
stances which he never for a moment for
gets. Twenty millions of such people will
make very formidable nation, and one
which will, we think, be distinguished among
the English nations by hardness, decisive
ness and want of attractive sympathy. It
may be, probably will be, great people,
equal to that marvellous destiny which should
lie before it in the sway of all Africa up to
the equator, but it would hardly be an agree
sble one

A GOOD LAW.

One Of the good laws made by the last leg
islature is that regulating the commitment to
asylums of persons alleged to be insane. This
law brings all commitments under the juris-
diction of the courts, not only those of pau
pers and INDECENT persons, but all. Jurisdic-
tion is given the probate courts, and the
complaint must be in writing. There can be
no ex parte hearing, for the law requires that
not only the complainant shall be notified,
but also the person alleged to be insane, to-
gether with his relatives or friends having an
interest in his welfare. In addition to oral
testimony before the court, the law requires
the certificates of two physicians, graduates
of legally organized medical institutions, of
at least three years practice in this State.
and neither of them connected with an insane
asylum nor related by blood or marriage to
the person alleged to be insane. 1t is also
provided that the alleged insane person or
his relatives may appeal to the Superior court
and that the case shall be heard during the
term to which the appeal is taken. The State
attorney for the county is required to attend
the hearing. to "protect the interests Of the
State" Under the former statute the Supe-
rior court could, on information of any per-
son wrongfully detained as insane, order an
| Investigation and appoint a commission to
ascertain the facts. But the commission was
| not required to do anything further than
| have "one or more private interviews" with
| the person and to make inquiries of the ply
sicians of the asylum. The new law gives
| every insane person the benefit of the writ Of
habeas corpus, on application by himself, 6
relative or friend, and the question of san.
ity may be decided by the court issuing tht
writ. His attorney or physician is given the
| right to visit him, on an order issued by
Superior court judge; and all persons con-
fined in asylums are required to be furnished
with writing materials, with which to com
municate with proper" outside persons ant
their letters must be promptly stamped ane
mailed.
1t does not seem possible that any wronl
can be done under this law. 1t ought not tt

SEPARATED BY THE FLOOD,
And Happily United After a Period Of
Painful SUSPENSE.

From the Philadelphia Record.l
Fiction could not furnish a more romantic
marriage than that of Edward Levy, an
Omaha millionaire, and Angie Facklsr,
survivor of the terrible Johnstown food,
which was solemnized by the Rev. Charles
g. Fiaher at his residence. 1,614 Wallace
street, yesterday morning. The bride, who
is past fifty years of age, narrowly escaped
| death in her efforts TO meet her sixty-year-
old lover, who had travelled nearly two thou
sand miles to make her his wife.
About thirty years ago the couple became
| acquainted in Johnstown, where both lived,
| and after a courtship of five years Mr. Levy
! left for the West to make fortune He be-
| came a millionaire and recently returned to
keep his plighted faith. The faithful lovers
arranged to meet at the house of the Rev.
| Mr. Fisher. of this city, with whose wife
both were very we'll acquainted, on the fret
| of this month and be married there. Ac-
cordiIg to this agreement Mr.. Levy arrived
in this city on the day appointed and pro-
| ceeded to Mr. Fishers residence to meet his
intended bride. Shs had not arrived, aud
| when he had been informed of the terrible
food at Johnstown on the day previous he
became almost distracted. Miss Fackler had
| sent word that she would start for this city
| on the day express, which met such luok-
to that train reached Mr.. Levy he became
convinced that the bride, to meet whom he
had come so far and for whom he had waited
SO many years, had been lost.
: For a week no news of the Intended bride
came, but one happy day brought the glad
tidings that she had been saved, but was
penniless This latter misfortune was of nc
moment under the circumstances, and aa
soon as possible Mics Fackler was brought
t to this city, when she rslated frightful per.
sonal experience in the delugsd city. Sht
i had made every preparation to catch the ill
fated day express on Friday evening, Ma,
f 31st, but the rising waters fortunately KEEP
8 her in her brothers house. Just as tn
d great rush of water came her brother rushet
g in, and, pushing her up stairs, told her t.
70 run for her lite to the top floor. She hat
barely reached the highest story when tn
water from Conemaugh Lake was upol
them. She was saved, but with her broth
!. er's family remained prisoners in the attic o
the houss without food of any kind unit
Sunday, After the water had receded tn
family climbed out and over the roofs OF de
moIished houses to safety. and found shelte
with friends.
q handsome trousseau, which had bee
,t prepared by Miss Fackler for her marriage
=. was swept away, and she was left with moth
:, ing except the clothes upon her back.
n The bride arrived in this city few day
,e ago and Immediately set about to have ne,
in trousseau prepared. The marriage was so
ID ennized yesterday privately, only few {

A GREAT PROBLEm.

a A6AA FhOb AEIMs
The "servant girl problem" continues to
attract attention and excite discussion. And
it is evident that it will not be settled very
soon. Mrs. Jennie G. Croly, in the July
Forum, has something to say which is worth
attention. For instance: Let us at once get
rid Of the idea of service except as We owe it
to one another. Let us consider household
occupations as professions or trades, which
when acquired are the means, like other pro-
fessions and trades, of earning livelihood.
If We want experts in these trades we must
take them on the same terms as we would
take experts in any other walk of life; and
we must be satisfied with the performance of
the special line of duty for which they are
engaged and not expect them to undertake
ours or to be at our beck and call or subject
to our vagaries and ill-temper in addition.
This will tend 10 make Mrs. Croly appre-
ciated by the experts in household oocupa-
tons who may notice it. 1t is just the idea
of their work which most of them have, and
which they are quite right in having if they
do not carry 1t to such an extent as to be
positively mean and disobliging when there
is no real occasion to be 60. The truth il
that many mistresses are unreasonable and
exsoting, and that many of the "experts" art
SO determined not to be 'imposed upon" thai
they overdo the matter. Fairness and con
sideration on both sides are needed.

When the Duke of Sutherland was on his

medical gentleman who, besides his great
knowledge of medicine, was frst-olass re-
contour. He amused the Dukes party with
many anecdotes of English celebrities. One

why Sir George Mcdonald, the celebrated
