The principal European settlements in
South Africa are in the Cape Colony and
Natal, both English dependencies. The
Boer republics, Orange Free State and
the Transvaal, are prosperous in pas

migration is discouraged. In the Trans

grown rapidly since the discovery of
gold, and it will not be surprising if the
crown shall sooner or later find some
pretext for annexing the country. The
newly acquired possessions of the Brit

The reports are surprising. The region

Zinlri Dwiggins is thorough Hoosier,

The legend runs that the name was De

Possibly the original was D'Ouiggennes

Second in Importance as seaport in
South Africa is Port Elizabeth, on the
east coast, about 500 miles from Cape
Town. This is the nearest port to the
diamond fields at Kimberley, and to this
and similar advantages Of location Port
Elizabeth owes its Importance. 1t is
situated on Algoa bay, which is little
better than an open roadstead and affords
most treacherous anchorage during the
southeast gales which frequently pre-
vail on this coast. On Sept. 1, 1888,
saw II sailing ships blown ashore and
wrecked in Algoa bay, while four steam
ers rode out the storm. The entire popu-
lation assembled on the beach, but they
could do nothing to save the doomed
vessels.
East London is the olly port between
Port Elizabeth and Durham, distance
Of about 400 miles. The steamers sail
very close to the wild but picturesque
shores Of Kafraria. The water here is
very deep, but the coast is strewn with
wrecks. Here in the last century occur
red the celebrated wreck Of the Grosve-
nor, and only few weeks ago asteamer
ran ashore near Durban, and the passen-
gers and mails were Landed with diff

East London, 6,85S, and Kimberley (the
seat Of the diamond mines), 2S.643. Ma
tai has 2c.063 square miles. In 1891 the
population was 543,913, of which 1878
were whites, Al, 142 Hindoos and 1885,
983 natives. The principal towns of Ma
tai are Durham and Pietermaritzburg.
The former has population of 1900 Et1-
ropeans, @nd the latter has 9,251. The
Hindoos of Natal have been imported
from India by the government to work
the sugar and coffee plantations. Cape
Colony has about $4,000 Malays, who
were brought from Batavia many years
ago. They are strikingRy different in
dress, customs and habits from the rest
of the inhabitants and form very pic
turesque element of the population.
Alone among the savages of the world
the great Zulu Kaffir race refuses to re-
treat before the advances of civilization.
They are of a higher type than the Amer
lean Indians or Australian aborseines
pnd by some have been reckoned supe-
rior to the Hindoo and Malay races. Xhe
kaffirs were once very warlike, but I'M
der the benefcent influences of white as
cendancy they have settled down to the
pursuits of peace and are multiplying to
an alarming extent. 1t is said that the
Kafir population from the Linpopo to
the sea has trebled itself by natural in
crease alone within 30 years.
Cape Town is one of the most pictur-
esque places in the world and is unique
in its environments. It is hemmed in
on three sides by lofty mountains and
fronts on Table bay, one Of the finest
harbors on earth. Immediately in the
rear Table mountain rises precipitate-
ly several thousand feet to a sum-
NIT which appears to be perfectly fiat
and is frequently covered by white
cloud called the table cloth. At the
right are 10 peaks called the Twelve
Apostles. and at the left DEVILS Peak
looms up in solitary grandeur.
The street scenes in Cape Town are
extremely interesting There is mot
ley population of Europeans, Africans
and Asiatics, and the confusion of Dutch
and English architecture is novel and
edifying. There are imposing public
buildings, fine botanical gardens, libra
ries, schools, churches, theaters, news
papers and all the requirements of mod
ern civilized life.
The far famed Cape of Good Hope lies
10 miles south of Table bay, and when
first beheld this rocky eminence rising
800 feet out Of the white crested sea I
thought it was well worth voyage of
10000 miles to see. The sides of these
cliffs, which have for ages withstood the
ceaseless assaults of the Atlantic, are
honeycombed with the nests of gulls and
penguins, and for miles the restless
waves are literally covered with these
white winged birds.

and Montgomery counties and but 20
miles or so from Philadelphia, it is very
secluded, the scenery is romantic, and a
visit to the camp will be delightful ex-
cursion. There are the gorge and narrow
valley where the original forge was To-
Gated, in 1777 the only forge in the state
north of Philadelphia, and thence the
slope is gentle to the Schuylkill. But the
fort and most of the old camp are COW
cred by dense and tangled growth Of
brush and vines, and one may go within
a few rods of some well preserved land
mark and not see it.
Unfortunately all the big trees of any
value were cut down few years ago by
local proprietors, and an oak stump
feet across the top is all that remains of
that magnificent forest monarch which
stood in the southeast corner Of Fort
Washington. The remains Of the fort,
however, are remarkably well preserved.
The people living near by are not at all
proud of their predecessors, for it is a
painful fact that the farmers thereabout
in 1777-s were nearly all Tories. They
would not sell to the army, and when
troops were sent out for forage the own
ers often burned it,
A clump of trees in plowed field
marks the site of Fort Huntington, and
the main redoubt there is still almost as
it was when the revolution closed. The
rifle pits also are well preserved, and to
this extent the growth of vines and brush
has been a great advantage, binding Q
soil and preventing the washing. I @

South Africa it was necessary to take a
sailing ship from New York, and 81
days were consumed in the passage to
Durham. The only steam route availa-
BILE to the traveller was by way of Eng

ney. Now the tourist may embark at

proceed directly to Cape Town, reach

ly. The Dwigginsonian method was too
much like the old way. He first figured
as small banker in Attica, Ind, and
formed partnership with George w.
Wigs and J. M. Starbuck under the
musical title of Wigs, Dwiggins & Star
buck.
They organized the United National
bank of Chicago, capital $4,000, which
in some way not yet explained they
swelled into the Columbia National bank,
with an alleged capital of $1,O00,OOO.
The examiner hints that it was really
founded on a deficit of 100000, all the
actual cash having been lost in mining
speculations in New Mexico. Neverthe-
less they went on organizing small
banks all over the country and induced
many good men to put in money and
lend their names. All these little banks
have collapsed, and startling revelations
are promised.
