NrRoDuCTIoN.

Some years since-it was during the
winter before the Zulu war-a white
man was travelling through Natal. His
name does not matter, for he plays no
part in this story. All went well till he
had passed the little town of Stranger,
which was once the site of DuguZa, the
kraal of Chaka, the first Zulu king.
The night after he left Stanger the air
filled the sky and hid the light of the
stars. ''Now if were not in Natal l
should say that there was a heavy fall
of snow coming" said the white man to
himself. II have often seen the sky
look like that in Scotland before snow"
Then he reflected that there had been
no deep snow in Natal for years.
During the night he was awakened by
a sense of bitter cold and the low moan
ing of the oxen that were tied to the
trek-tow. He thrust his head through
the curtain of the tent and looked ont
The earth was white with snow and the
air was full of it, swept along by Bit
ter wind.
Now he sprang up, calling as he did
so to the Kaffirs who slept beneath the
wagons.
''Quicki you boys" he said to them in
Zulu; ''quickl Would you see the cattle
die of the snow and cold? Loose the
oxen from the trek-tows and drive them
In between the wagons; that will give
them some shelter" And lighting a
lantern he sprang out into the snCw.
At last it was done-nO easy task, for
the numbed hands of the Kaffirs could
scarcely loosen the frozen reins. The
wagons were outspanned side by side
with space between them, and into
this space the mob of thirty-six oxen was
driven and there secured by reins tied
,,rosswise from the front and hind
wheels of the wagons. Then the white
man crept back to his bed, and the shiv-
ering natives, fortified with gin, or
squareface as it is called locally, took
refuge on the second wagon, drawing a
tent sail over them.
IF the snowsgoes on l shall lose my
oxen" he said to himself; "they can
never bear this cold"
Hardly had the words passed his lips
when the wagon shook; there was a
sound of breaking reins and trampling
hoofs. Once more he looked forth. The
oxen had ''skrecked" in mob running
away to find shelter from the cold.

THE GOLD CURE.
Miss Frances willard Said to BE Opposed
to the NJ athod.

Miss Frances Willard Said to he opposed
to the NJ athod.
CHICAGO, July Both Miss
Frances Willard and the leading
members of the Won ans Christian
Temperance Union are considerably
annoyed by the covert atta cks that
are being made upon that well known
temperance advocate by some OF
those interested in the Kelley Cure
on account of the fact that she has so
far refrained from openly announc-
ing herself as a champion and in
dOrser of the Dwight method.
Efforts have been made to show
that she is opposed to the gold cure
but these she has cOntroverted by
proving in black and white that she
was a friend and supporter of the
Kelley treatment long before gener-
al knowledge of it had been obtained
through the country The Keeleyites
demand, however, that the treatment
should be publicly Endorsed and COM
moulded through the Union Signal,
the official organ of the w. G. II. u.
Miss Willard has so far made no
response to this demand, but those
associated with that publication do
not hesitate to say that she would
hardly be justified in advertising and
booming the Dwight Institute so
long as it is purely money making
concern, and so operated as to bring
it's promoters profits aggregating over
a million dollars per annum.
Just as soon as the formula is COM
municated to the stats of the various
hospitals of the country, or the treat
ment placed within the reach of the
poorest and most demOralized of the
drunkards of the land, just so soon,
thev say, will it receive all the coun-
tenance and support the Union can
give it.
The Union, it is cOntented, is seek
ing to save victims of intemperance
and to put temptation without their
reach, but unlike the Orignators of
the Dwight method they are so en-
gagged as labor of love, and doing
that labor without money and with
ont price.

ELKINs AND WILSON,


They May Be the Opposing Candidates for
Governor in West Virginia.
It looks as il West Virginia might play very
interesting and probably important part in the
figuring upon the next presidential contest.
The desire of President Harrison that Secretary
Elkins should accept the republican nominal
ton for governor of that state has already been
widely discussed. The probabilities are that in
the interest Of Mr.. Harrison Mr.. Elkins will be
n candidate for governor and will exert all his
great power to throw the state over to the re-
publicans in the presidential contest. 1t is a
matter of no little consequence how the cleo
toral vote of West Virginia will be cast. There
is little doubt that the candidacy Of Mr.. Elkins
is very strong. His associations in the state
and his immense business interests, involving
number Of prominent democrats in ''entan-
Cling alliances, might make it very difficult
thing to defeat him. Therefore the democrats
are anxious to bring forward the strongest
man they can. and it is probable that Repre-
sentative William L. Wilson will be the dem
ocratic nominee. He is not seeking the nomi-
nation, but will accept it if offered to him, and
will probably make u better run than any other
democrat who could be put upon the ticket.
To make the run he would Sacrifice a brilliant
career in Congress to make desperate fight in
the party interest. But even with SO strong a
candidate Mr.. Wilson the democrats have
every reason to feel alarmed about West Vir-
ginia, and the best informed politicians believe
that if Mr.. Cleveland does not secure the nom.
nation the state will be very apt to 60 republi-
can despite all efforts to save it. Cleveland is
popular among democrats in West Virginia. A
solid delegation will probably so to the Ba-
tional convention in his support. and it is felt
that with him as a candidate there would be a
reasonable prospect of democratic success.
With any other candidate, some shrewd poll.
ticians say, 1t is hardly to be hoped that the
state could be carried in face of the tremen-
dons efforts that will be put forth by Mr.. EIkins.
