The South Affseaa Labor MaEksA
I believe a. with fighting peoples oe
India, 20 with the Zulu and the Aata-
belle, military service will eventually
prove an excellent means Of eliciting
the loyalty and utilizing the pugnacity
Of the nation. All over South Africa the
great social and economical difficulty OF
the day is the state Of the labor market
Inefficient according to our standard,
though Kaffir labor may be for the pur.
poses Of mining as we'll a. farming, 1T
is absolutely indispensable. White men
may be overseers and managers, but the
pick and shovel work is, and must be
for some time, in the hands Of natives.
Whatever may be the case in America,
IL is certain that in South Africa black
and white would not come together in
single shift or single gang on the
same level. Whether in the future en-
ployers will not be forced to import
hands, not exactly Of the class called
"mean white" but from the same coun-
tries as now supply the American mines
with labor, remains to be seen.
The scarcity of Kaffirs is serious fact
in the industrial world Of Afrikander-
dom. 1t does not spring, as have stated,
from any shrinkage of population, for.
ON the contrary, there is an increase,
but it is to be accounted for by the in
grained distaste for manual exertion
which makes the male Kaffir in his own
kraal send his women to work in the
fields while he sits in his glory st his
hut's door. Everywhere they have made
money and bought cattle, and, accord
ing to Kaffir custom, each son Of the
house has the right to put his spoon into
the common bowl and the common stew,
SO that the young bucks" are not forced
to work from any fear Of starving -

A Grave Blunder.

A German gentleman one day received
q telegram from the proprietor of hotel
in the south Of France informing him
Of the death Of his aunt, and asking for
particulars as to the disposal Of the
body. The gentleman begged that the
body might be sent to Cologne, and, aft
er telegraphing to the deceased's rela-
tions to assemble in that city, travelled
thither himself. In due time the coffin
arrived. On being opened it was found
to contain the body, not Of an aunt, but
of Russian general in full uniform.
Further kilograms ELECTED the informa-
tion that the coffin containing the body
OF the deceased lady had been forwarded
in error to the relatives Of the Russian
general at st. Petersburg. Urgent tele-
grams were dispatched to st. Petersburg,
and after three days Of anxious waiting
this answer was received: "Your aunt
has been inferred with full military
honors. London Tit Bits.

Friend, in the event OF free silver at
the ratio of 16 to l, how are you going to
get any OF it? There is nothing in the
Democratic platform that will start a
wheel or spindle in the United States,
nothing that will take the poor man out
of his truck patch and put him in the
factory, nothing that will make nickle's
increase in the demand for the products
of the farm. While the silver baron is
doubling his millions over and over and
over again, where do you come in ?
Please think this over carefully and
candidly.

The Democracy often pin their hopes
to catchy phrases, such as "turn the ras.
calls out |" "Retrenchment and Reform %
"Free Trade" &c. This year the com.
mittee, after much deliberation, adopted
the Free and Unlimited Coinage OF
Silver" They actually argued among
themselves that people would believe
that this meant plenty Of money to
everybody, and money easily gotten.
They thought the people would not all
find out that "free coinage" meant that
silver Kings could not only have two
dollars made from lO6 cents worth OF
silver, but, that the work would be done
for nothing. When we consider that il
costs the government, which means the
people, 10 cents each to coin these dol.
lars, you have added 20 cents more a. q
present to q certain monied class, fol
whose benefit this astounding muni6.
cence is to be wrung from q distressed

his comrades who had ever seen its
secrets, was something to wonder at.

Billiam entered into the tenancy Of an
entire suit of rooms upon the garnet
floor of one of the high lands which
ere distinctive feature Of the old
quarter of st. Leonards.
Within the tumbledown dwelling,
Billiam found himself in possession Of
five large rooms with large windows
and in some instances with skylights
also. lie was to pay at the modest
rate Of eight pounds in the half year
for the lot. Billiam counted down his
first uarter's rent, and went out to
order brass plate. This cost him 80
shillings, and he had to pay separately
for the lettering, which said, some

phen BiIliam double-bolted the plate
to the door, for he understood the ways
of Montgomery street, and sat down
to study the monograph Of Herr Doctor
Pumpenstock, of Vienna, upon head
aches Billiam had three chairs to start
with-two stiff backed chairs for eli
ents, and an easy chair, which in time
of need could be leaned up against
the wall. 1t was a deck chair, and
cost Is. 111ad. at cheap sale of furni-
ture in Nicholson street. Billiam felt
that he might go that length in luxury.
Billiam had once possessed more fur
niture than this. He had q wooden bed
which he had bought in the Cowgate
for Az. and carried up the Pleasance
himself, post by post and plank by
plank. The next day he began TO cut
it up for frewood. 1T was q good bed
though, he said, but not for sleeping on.
After the first five minutes it began to

Lis garnet, however, grew somewhat
better furnished Through the medi-
alton of his soldier brother, his father
became so far reconciled to him that
he increased his allowance. But Bill
Liam lived in no greater comfort than
before. He bought a cheap bedstead,
it is true, and for a month of two
dWelt in luxury, sleeping upon a real
mattress with clean sheet and folding
his oTercoat for a pillow But even that
came to an end
The circumstances were these:
Billiam had been down at Ormith-
waite seeing his father, and his broth
err (of the 10th Hussars) insisted upon
returning to Edinburgh with him
You'll have to rough it, mind you, p"
said BiIliam warning him.
I'm a soldier" said his brother
stoutly, land 1 guess your hole can't
be worse than some places I've put up
in"
''All right, said Billiam, mind, I've
warned you. Don't grumble when YOU
get there"
So at their journeys end, Billiam
opened the door of the garnet and in
vited his brother to step in. A curious
damp smell met them on the threshold.
That's all right" said Biliam, reas-
surfing. II washed out the whole
blooming shop with chlorate of lime
the night before / came away It's
healthy no end, if it does stink a bit"
Maybe, said his brother the Cap
tain, ''but it certainly does smell like
stables"
Wen, I'll have the fire lighted. and
Wen have some supper before the peo-
pie begin TO come said Billiam,
calmly you'll be picking these old
rags for lint, and laying out the band
ages"
The Captain and Billiam dined upon
a rasher of bacon and eggs which Bill
liam fried in the pan, along with sliced
potatoes and butter The Hussar, be-
ing exceedingly hungry, thought he
had never tasted anything more deli
