CHAPTER VIII.

At length the last platform, or ter.
race, was reached, and we pulled up out
side the wall surrounding the central
group of marble huts-for so must call
them for want Of better name. Our
approach had been observed by crowd
OF natives, whose race have never been
able to determine accurately; they be-
longed to the Basutu and peaceful sec.
tion Of the Bantu peoples rather than to
the Zulu and warlike. Several Of these
ran up to take the horses, gazing on us
with astonishment not unmixed with
awe. We misunderstanding for
myself, not without difficulty-indeed,

Hendrika went off with a somewhat
ugly grin to do her mistress bidding,
and Stella led the way through the mar
row gateway in the marble wall, which
may have inclosed nearly half an "erf,"
or three-quarters Of an acre Of ground In
all. 1t was beautifully planted as gar.
den, many European vegetables and
flowers were growing in II, besides 9TH

Presently we came TO the center hut,

ordinary beauty and finish Of the mar

gateway, was modern door, rather
rudely fashioned OF Buclken pont, a
beautiful reddish wood that has the ap-
pearance OF having been sedulousiy
pricked with a pin. Stella opened II, and
we entered. The interior Of the hut was
the size Of large and lofty room, the
walls being formed OF plain polished
marble. 1t was lighted somewhat dim.
ly, but quito effectively, by peculiar
openings in the roof, from which the
rain was excluded by overhanging caves.
The marble floor was strewn with na
tive mats and skins OF animals. Book.
cases filled with books were placed
against the walls, there was a table in
the center, chairs seated with rimpi OF
strips Of hide stood about, and beyond
the table was couch on which man
was lying reading.

BRoWNlNo'S MARRIAGE.
II Was Runaway Match and Celebrated
In n Clandestine Manner.

II Was Runaway Match and Celebrated
In Clandestine Manner.
Browning's marriage with Miss Eliz-
abeth Barrett was romantic affair,
originating in poetical sympathy and
resulting, for both lovers. in life Of
almost ideal serenity and happiness.
Miss Barrett was thirty-seven years Of
age, an invalid, with little or no hope
of recovery. The marriage was opposed
by her father, and was at last celebrated
clandestinely. Miss Milford writes Of
1t: ut was q runaway match. Never
was / so much astonished. He prevailed
on her to meet him at church with only
the two necessary witnesses. They
went by rail to Southampton, crossed
to Hayre, up the Seine TO Rouen. to
Paris by railway. There they staid a
week. Happening to meet with Mrs.
Jameson, she Joined them in their jour
ney to Pisa, and accordingly they tray
eled by diligence, by railway, by Rhone
boat-any how-to Marseilles; thence
took shipping to Leghorn, and then set-
tied at Pisa for six months" The new
happiness, the new life, the new climate
called the sufferer back from the gates
OF death, and the Brownings spent fit-
teen bright years together In Italy in
the closest union, both domestic and In
tellectual They we're singularly alike
in their cast OF mind, and although they
stimulated each others literary activ.
ity, the question has been raised Just
how far tho mutual influence was of
benefit to the poetical faculty in either.
The richest period OF Mrs. Browning's
life lies within the ten years after mar
riage, which produced "Casa Guidi Win
dows," the "Sonnets from the Portu-
guese," and "Aurora Leigh" But she
lived to copy great deal OF her hus-
bands roughness and contempt for the
art OF expression. Her love poetry as
sumed a more contagious fervor, and
that OF Mr.. Browning became perhaps
more passionate, more spontaneous and
more exalted. Browning's estimate,
however, OF the claims OF love as tho
arbiter Of life and conduct was always
excessive, and 1t certainly was not eI-
aggerated by his beautiful devotion TO
the wife who inspired many Of his
noblest and purest lines. Upon the
whole, 1t seems that whatever faults
husband and wife may have learned
from each other were far outbalanced
BY other influences which sprang from
this memorable union.-Boston Tran

An idea Of the Importance of the work
will be had by considering that the county
records are encountered by a car load
of useless paper covered by verbiage.
The paper cannot even be sent to the
mill TO be ground over, as the records
are of Importance, and a vast amount of
is necessary to store them. They
cannot be dumped into a vault, for they
are necessary TO consult daily, and the
number of racks necessary TO contain
them suggests that owing TO the number
of financial operations nowadays, and the
probability that they will continue to
grow, the entire court house viii be
necessary to hold them before the end of
another half century. This verbiage Is
also al expensive relic of the olden time,
as an army of transcribers is necessary
to keep the records in shape. 1t is also
necessary to retranscribe them once in ID
century, unless better paper and indei-
ible ink be used. A considerable number
OF copyists have been at work for months
rewriting the records made previous to
A. D. 1900. When it is understood that
the records of several years after the
