An African Romance.

Frank Hall has Just returned tc
America from South Africa. He had
entered Matabeleland against the Kings
orders, was captured and held prisoner
fof eleven months BY the King of that
nation
Hall and two other prospectors left
Kimberly in November, 1888, to pros
pect further north. Upon reaching Swat
land they were varied by the King to
return, as it meant danger to pass
through his country, and he did not wish
to fall cut with the whites
Nothing daunted the prospecting
miners pushed on and reached the coun-
cry of the savage Matatelis. Here they
Tere offered an escort to 20 through the
country, but were forbidden from sur

Graded the guard and struck some rfch
a'luyial deposits of gold, which in re-
atty belongs to the British Soath Bffi-
can Company. The band was csptrred
and held prisoners for eleven months,
and were only released when the South
African Company marched 1000 men to
the frontier and declared that unless the
company was permitted to work its con
eession peaceably the company would
fight its way in. The King released the
prisoners, and when Hall left the coun-
try the nation was in council as to
whether they should give in or fight

When Bismarck represented Prussia in
the Diet at Frankfort, says a writer in
the Nes Reoisc, he strongly suspected
that his letters and dispatches were tam
pered with IN the interest of Austrian
diplomacy. At last he discovered IA
remedy, the ingenuity and perfect detail
of which is illustrative of bis way of do
ing things:
On one occasion, after stormy meet
ing, he and an officer of the Hanoverian
embassy walked away together, and as
they walked, spoke of this grievance
from which they had suffered.
Presently the Hauoverian remarked
that Bismarck led the way out of the
more fashionable quarter of the town in
to dingy and yet more dingy by-ways.
As they entered particular dirty steeet
Bismarck drew out his gloves, which
usually remained in his pocket, drew
them on and buttoned each carefully.
This done he entered one of the little
shops where the poor buy cheese,
pickles, dried fish, lamp oil and other
commodities.
"Boy," said Bismarck to dull look
ing lad behind the counter, ''do you
sell soap2"
ayes, sir"
'fWhat soap2 What sorts have you
got3"
"This and this, aud here's another"
said the boy, putting before Bismarck
variety of strong scented cakes.
"Well, how much is this3" the diplo-
matist asked, handling one of the cakes;
"and how much thisl" fumbling with
another. A piece was selected, when
Bismarck, as if suddenly recollecting
himself, plunged his hand into breast
pocket and drew out an enclosed letter.
Apparently annoyed at his own forget
fulness, he Cried ado you sell cnvel-
opes, boyl bring them out"
Envelopes-.Tsetehed things-were
produced, the letter placed in one, and
Bismarck began to address it. But with
thick glove on and tightly buttoned
up, this was not easy to do. So he
flung down the pen impatiently and said,
"Here, boy; you can write l supposed"
und gave the address, which the boy
awkwardly scrawled upon it. Then Bis
narck took the letter and left the shop.
'Now," said he to his friend, when
they had passed outside, as he put the
letter to his nose, ''what with the soap,
the herring, the candles and the cheese,
] don't think they'll smell my despatch
