When English and Beers Fought.

In tho earlier encounters between
British and Dutch at the Cape. the
British invariably had the victory. In,
1895 and 1906 at the battles Of Muiz.
senberg and Blaauwberg, on each Of
the occasions when the British forces
took possession Of the Cape, our troops
had easily the best oft. 1t can hardly
be said, however, that the back coun-
try farmers had much to do with these
affairs. The battle of Blaauwberg,
thanks to which the English became
finally masters of the Cape, was a very
hot affair. The Dutch fought bravely
and lost 700 men dead and wounded.
The British, under General Sir David
Baird, suffered to the extent OF 212
dead, wounded, and missing. Between
1906 and 184S there were various
small risings and instructions in the
eastern part of Cape Colony, in, which

In 1915 q small rising among the
Beers of the Eastern Province was
punished with extreme severity. Hen

Cornelis Faber, Theunis de Klerk,

terrible scene, which one shudders to
think of even now. The poor half
hanged men as they slowly recovered,
crawled to the feet of the command
ing officer, and begged fo,. mercy.
Their prayers were aided by the bit
ter cries and tears of sne multitude
standing around. But there was no
mercy for them. just before sunset
these unhappy Beers were hanged
again, this time effeotually enough.
The neck between the hills, where this
scene took place, is still we'll known
in Cape Colony as "Slaghters Neck"

against the British is due to the indy

The San Francisco call., 1896-03-22

warm March sunshine is putting the green
growths in hurry, and they have taken
big start within the past few days. Baby
blue-eyes waked up last week, and the
poppies, the brodi@a and blue-eyed-g grass
are thick upon the hillsides. The maIvus,
the buttercups and all the great crowfoot
family are out, and the spring is fairly
here.
But before any of these had dared show
themselves, down in the canyons and
besides streams in the cocl dim woods
wake-robin had already, aroused itself
and begun the task assigned it by the
sweet old mythos, of summoning the
birds. The feathered tribes have heard
the call and are here III force. The last of
the northingers has fed and the trees are
melodious with the voices of our own
springtime birds.
Wake-robInl How one loves that quaint
old name for the trillium, first harbinger
of the springtime. Many of our common
wild flowers have several names, but none
has such invariably pretty ones as all
times seem to have united in bestowing
upon this one. Birthroot our forefathers
called it, seeing the birth of the new year
in its early blossomlng, and how many
generations have known and loved it under
the name given 1t, time out of mind, the
trinity flower. But as wake robin it is
probably best known, and the very breath
OF springtime seems to be in the name.
A member of the great lily family is the
wake-robin, and it loves damp, shady
places, and moist, rich valleys. Out here
IN California we do not find the strictly
typical Eastern variety, but we have a
