The Spirit of the Beers.

How is t, Englshmeu ask themselves,
that these rude up-country Beers can thus
inflict such severe defeat upon first-rate
European troops? The reasons are not in
reality very far to seek. Every Boer in
the republics beyond the Orange river is
animated by the strongest possible attach
ment for his country. These republics
We're won from barbariSm some fifty years
ago, after hard fighting with MOseikatSe,
father of the late Lobengula, aud his fero-
cious Zulu hosts. Before the fights in which
they defeated Moselikatse and drove him
beyond the Limpopo, the emigrant Beers.
just then quitting Cape Colony, had suffered
cruel maSSacrcS at the hands of these
Matabele warriors.
In Natal whittier some of them first
trekked before crossing the Orange, 500
OF the men, women, and children of these
migrating farmers had been murdered
in single night and day by the Zulus of
Dingaan. The emigrant Beers took a
terrible revenge upon Dingaan for that
iuhuman massacre. Four hundred OF them
in laager defeated 10000 of Dingaan's
choicest warriors with the loss OF 5000
slain. The Blood River in Natal still bears
testimony by its name to the Zulu blood
which, upon that Sunday morning battle,
in 1898, mingled with its flow.
Is 1t to be wondered at that after such
struggles and such sufferings the Beers of
the Orange Free State and Transvaal cling
so tightly TO their adopted countries, and
that their determination is to retain their
independence at all costs and all hazards?

spirit that animates these South African

DIVORCED FROM A DEAD MAN
Peculiar Pension Case of Missouri
Woman,
On TIL,

Chicago Tribune.
Mrs. Margaret A. Marler, OF Bonne Terre
Mo-, has received motto of final action on
her application for restoration to the pen
sion rolls, after a suspension OF nearly
twenty years. BY the unfayGrable action
OF the Pension Department she cores into
possession OF 2,2O0 and S12 month dur
ing her wdowhood. This case, which has
been pending for about three years, pos
sesses some peculiar features.
In 1864 John A. MarIer enlisted in Com
pany d, thirty-first Missouri infantry and
was sent to the trout at Vicksburg. Here
he fell sick and died, leaving widow and
three small children in extreme poverty.
The young r.idows struggle TO MAINTAIN
herself and children was a hard one until
she was awardedla pension OF So per month
for herself ana So for each III her three
children. This sum, supplemented by what
She was able TO earn, enabled her and her
children TO live in comparative comfort.
After several years, however, an eX-
soldier by the name of Ransom A. Walker
sought her hand in marriage, and she
yielded and relinquished her pension. For

widow. but while collecting the evidence
necessary 10 establish her claim she dis

Mortified at this discovery. and realiz-
