As when some mighty Mammoth OF the West,
provoked by hunger. leaves his place OF rest,
And bounding forth where feeding buraio stray,
strikes thro' the forest terror and disnay:
Old England trembles and the Russias quake.
While France and Spain CONFUSED win terror snake
Lest their proud fleets impelled by rate should ran
Withn her reach and she should sink them all
Fear not We heroes. We have naught to dread;
Mol No, No human blood we'll shed
Despisng fighting. she has quit with scorn.
The bIlIowy ocean FOR a field of corn
There wv she lies In philosophc ease
A dread no longer the buoyant seas
But oh. We crows. who skim the ambient ar.
Who pilfcr corn. OF this dread Boat beware
For tho no more she thunders on the main.
Thousands Of crows by her shall yet be SIAM
Thnsc raccoons too who dare invade the field.
Must perish all. and to her prowess yield
With such protection fields or corn may grow
Nor fear the attacks 81 any pllfering foe.
Ceres shall smile to find her crops secured
And Neptune frown to see his realm ablured
Thus in Ioat VIII do more good
Than AGES floating on the briny hood

PORTUGUESE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
They Have Done Nothing to Explore
or Develop the Country.

James Bryce in the Century.
In the early years of the sixteenth CEN
tuhy. long before the first Dutch fort was
erected at Cape Town. Portugal had plant
ed her settlers at various points along the
east coast. from Delagoa bay to the Fam
best and Mozambique. They did some trad
ing In gold and ivory with the interior. and
they assembled the Zambesi for several
hundred miles. But the pestilential strip
OF fat ground which lag between the coast
and the plateau damped their desires. ana
threw obstacles IN the way OF their ad-
vance. They did little TO explore and moth
ing 10 civilize the interior.
Three centuries passed. during which
our knowledge OF South Central Africa
was scarcely extended: and II was not TIL
some sixty years ago that the Dutch Beers
In their slow wagons passed northeast
ward from Cape Colony 20 the spots
where Bloemfontein and Pretoria now
stand: not till 1876 that David Livinss-
tone made his way through Bechuanaland
to the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi and
to the Atlantic coast at Loanda; not till
1859 that the vast territories which lie be-
tween the Transvasl Republic and Lake
Tanganyika begsn to be occupied by the
Mashonaland pioneers. All these farm
ers. explorers and mining prospectors
cameup over the high plateau from the ex-
trcme southernmos. end OF Africa. checked
from time TO time by the wariike native
tribes. but drawn on by finding every
where a country in which Europeans could
live and thrive; while the Portuguese hav-
ing long since lost the impulse Of discover
and conquest. did no more than maintain
their hold upon the coast and allowed even
a few forts they had established along the
course OF the Zambesi to crumbIe away.

Engiand's Good Government of Egypt.

New Ork ENenlng foSf-
The result OF English rule In Egypt Is
seen In the wonderful Improvement in

istration intrusted 10 natives. The bien-
NAL report OF Sir John Scott, judicial ad-
wiser 10 the khedive, shows great In
crease OF work In the native tribunals es-
pecfaily in the summary courts, OF which
forty have been established throughout
the country. II is significant that 90 per
cent Of the decisions were confirmed on
appeal This Is considered very satisfae-
tory. as the summary courts contain no
European element and are supplied from
the Egyptian school of Law, which for five
years has worked very satisfactorily. Tn
der the direction OF Mr.. J. +. Gorst. a far
reaching change has been begun In the
ministry OF the interior by the reorgani-
nation of the gaffirs. or village policemen.
Hitherto this service has been compui-
