SOUTH AFRICA.
A Few Hints Concerning the People and
Climate Of That Country.


The following will explain itself
Astoria, Feb. 20, 1894
Editor Astorian: A few days ago
saw a notice in the Astorian Of the in
tended departure Of several people for
the gold fields of johannesburg, and
having visited that part of the world,
offer few brief hints which may be
Of value to Americans going there:
Because the English and Dutch there
consume a great quantity of brandy
beer and wine, 1t is no reason why any
young American who knows better
should follow their example. The say
ing, I'm Rome" etc, does not of neces-
sity apply to this part Of a colonial edu-
cation.
Don't burden yourself with a lot of
unnecessary clothing. Let what you
take be good and suitable to the eli
mate, which resembles to great de-
gree southern California.
The hard labor will to a great extent
be performed by Cafflrs, who will be
willing to work for one or two shillings
per day and food. which in all prob
ability will consist of meat. bread and
Cape Smoke,"-i. e., brandy.
The languages spoken are English and
Dutch. In the west it is almost impera-
tive that one should acquire a converse
tional knowledge Of Capt Dutch. In the
east 1t is not so necessary.
In everyday conversation with the
Dutch, talk sheep to the sheep farmer
corn, barley and oats to the man en-
gagged in general farming. and so on,
and don't. If you value your peace OF
mind, try and MAKE him believe you
are Mr.. Edison-far better sit like a
clam and say nothing.
Should you at any time be guest at
a Dutch social gathering anywhere out
side Of the towns. and providing you
have talent for producing music from
the mouth-organ or concertina, blow
out or pull out u quick jerky noise, keep
ing time by stamping your feet on the

And baby's cheek was hot and dry.

And only murmured ''By and by"
Next day, just as the sun had sat,
The small voice said, with q tired smile:
Mamma, dear, Is it by'm by yet?

Saved by q Dog.

The sagacity of dog saved Wo-
burn family from being burned to death.
Fire started in the house of John Roo
ney on Poole. street, North Woburn,
about o'clock in the morning, and the
family, consisting of five persons, bare
~ escaped with their lives. They were
saved by the instinct of the house dog,
who rushed up stairs and aroused Mr..
Rooney by barking. Escape by the stair
ways to the lower part of the house was
cut off by the fire. and the upper rooms
we're fast filling with smoke. Mr.. Roo
ney succeeded in tying some bed cover
ing together, and with this lowered one
of his sons to the ground. Heobtained
a ladder and rescued the others, but not
until they were nearly overcome by the
smoke. Afterward the dog was found
crouching in a corner of one of the
rooms nearly suffocated. Boston Tran

A Commercial Cupid.


He wanted her all for his own. as
some foolish lovers do, but she was moi
an emotional monopolist of that kind.
On the contrary, she had syndicated
her affections, and there were half q
dozen young men, each of whom was
quite as much to her as was this young
Romeo j. Gould.
Not only had she disposed of num-
Der OF blocks Of stock in her heart. but
she glo1ied in it with true speculative
pride, and when he would seek to claim
her as his own she would taunt him
with itand tell him she could not afford
to make an emotional speciality Of him.
and that he must be content with what
she felt inclined to let him have.
"Spare my tender feelings he cried
to her one evening in the cleaning, aft
er she had told him how his account
stood. "spare my tender feelings"
She smiled with sardonic sweetness.

California Redwood Trees.

We have evidence in California that
redwood trees cut down so years ago
have made sprouts which are new trees
from 3 to 5 feet in diameter and from
IOO to $50 feet high. It is the rapid
growth Of some of these trees which
leads people to doubt their great age,
but there seems to be no reason for
doubling that the method Of calculating
by annual rings of wood is sound, and
that the great age imputed to some of
these trees has solid groundwork to
build on. Meehan' s Monthly.

Buckles For Hats,

Oblong buckles, curved more or less,
are most approved decoration now for
hats. When intended for this purpose,
they have rather formidable pointed
tongues, which pierce the ribbon or
drapery drawn through the buckle. Ere
quently they measure six or eight inches
in length and will go nearly half round
the crown of a sailor hat. But their use
is not confined to this shape of hat They
deck broad brims and toques equally well.
Similar buckles are made in cut jet, but
that in imitation diamonds is the favor

LOVE AND THOUGHT.

What hath love with thought to dor
Still at variance are the two.
Love Is sudden. love is rash,
Love is like the levin fash
Comes as swift, as swiftly goes,
And his mark as surely knows.
Thought is lumpish, thought is slow,
Weighing long tween yes and no.
When dear love is dead and gone,
Thought comes creeping in anon
And in his deserted nest
Sits to hold the crowner's quest.
Since we love, what need to Think
Happiness stands on brink
Whence too easy it's to fall
Whither's no return at all.
Have a care, half hearted lover;
Thought would only push her over.

AT THE THEATERs.

oOme summer opera companies have
presented Said Pasha" so badly that
the audience said "pashaw." but such
was not the case at the Metropolitan
last night. The audience was composed
somewhat OF those who might be
deemed hypercritical.l Nearly all the
Morris company were present, several
theatrical managers and a score of
newspaper men, yet the applause was
abundant. George Mitchell appeared
i'll the title role to excellent advantage,
and George Lyding, as Terrano, did
we'll. His tenor Is full and command
ing. Helen Lamont was quite ill
and thought at first she could
not sing, but did herself con-
siderable credit as Serena. The
surprise of the evening was the
singing of the mezzo-soprauo, Julie
Calhoun. in the role of Queen Alti.
Last week she, too, was indisposed and
failed to do herself justice. but atoned
for it all last night. Tom Martin was
we'll he was Tom Martin. .'Inlmitable
Tom.' He looks like Eddie Foy. and
is quite as droll. His Characterization
Of Nockey was good low comedy all
through. Douglas Flinl's Hadad was
fair, his bass being excellent. For
years "Said Pasha'' has been
played in New York. and many
now leading comedians obtained
their first start as Nockey
or Hadad. Sylvester Cornish somewhat
overdoes the part of Bolah. Ridsdale and
Thayer were excellent as Hassan Bey
and the Rajah. The chorus is fine, and
the harem scene and dances well done.
1t is creditable and enjoyable per-
Torrance throughout. Manager Murray
says that Adelaide Virana. leading UNI
derstudy for soprano roles in the New
York Metropolitan Opera company, will
arrive here today to begin rehearsals
with the company for the part of Aline
in 1.-THE Bohemian Girl" He has other
treats in store for future operas. Virana
is considered by s'Allan Dale" one of
the best Alines New York has heard.
Tonight 1.-THE Soggarth'' will receive
its first st. Paul presentation at the
Grand. Like all pieces in which the
Celtic race plays a prominent part, it
abOunds in pure wit. and striking dra-
matte situations. Perhaps the most
original and intense scene in 1.-THE Sog-
garth' is the one enacted in church
yard at night. The light streams
through the stained windows Of a
chapel. and falls upon the grave of
murdered peasant From the church
COMES the pathetic strains of the ''Ave
Maria" The mind OF the spectator is
predisposed to reverence and stepped in
4esIanIn The murderer enters to seak
-reiief for his tortured conscience at the
confessional. Clinging to the robes of
the priest, he In terror blurts out the
story of the crime. The dead man was
tie priests brother. and for the homi-
eide an innocent person is to hang the
following day. There is the pivot-the
heart of the drama called ''The Sog-
garth" The central figure, the priest,
Will tie played by William Morris, who
doubtless will appear to great advantage
in this striking character.

MAKE YOUR PROTESTS.

Our Washington adviceS are that the
weak backs of the house intend to ac-
eept and pass the senate bill in the
shape it comes to the house if the con-
ference can secure no modification.
This is done under misapprehension
of the public feeling. which, they think,
demands that some bill be passed. it
matters little what, so it be tariff bill.
That this is groundless feeling; that
the mass of the party would prefer no
bill to the senate's. is fact we'll known
to all who come i'll contact with the rank
and file of the party. So long as the
people are silent the representatives
may think they are only solicitous for
the passage of bill rather than of the
bill; but if every Democrat in this and
other states having Democratic repre-
sentatIves will sit down and write his
representative. or any of them he may
know, telling him plainly what Is ex-
pected, 1t will waken them from any de-
fusion they may be under, and secure
either the passage of the Wilson bill or
none. A prominent Democrat of the
state sends US this copy of letter he
has written to one of our representa-
ttves. Its language, if strong, only
measures the earnestness OF his feeling.
We hope his example will deluge our
two members with letters from their
constituents. The writer says.
Dear Sir: am not going to offer YOU
advice in this letter, for il did it would
be both uncaIled for and gratuitous. |
simply give you my opinion; take it if
what it is worth.
The Democrats of Minnesota, the
people of Minnesota, or the people OF
the whole country are not demanding
the passage of tariff measure icon.
ceived in sin and brought forth in in
iquity.:" measure tainted with Stock
jobbery and permeated with disgraceful
compromises; measure recognizing
protection in its most hideous FORM, viz:
its retention on certain articles fcf the
express purpose of putting money into
the pockets of the friends OF dishonest
senators sailing under the Democratic
the most despicable order, whose flag
should be decorated with skull and
cross bones; a measure that, if passed
by a Democratic congress. will put every
Democrat who took tile stump two
years ago upon the public pillory.
From my stand point there is but one
course for the Democrats in the house
10 pursue, viz: When the bill comes
back to them clothed in the garments of
shame put upon it by the Democratic
prostitutes in the senate, the rules should
be suspended, ana, without one word of
debate, such seal Of condemnation put
upon its infamous provisions as shall
carry with 1t to the people who voted
