His Present Character and Past Achieve
 ments.
 [Corr espond ence of the London Times.l
 Among all the white men now throng- ing Johannesburg and other parts of the Transvaal in search of gold, how many can say with truth that they know anything of the Dutch farmer? Not one man in hundred. They will sheer at him, laugh at his guttural tongue and his heavy uncouth ways, rail at his government; but as for talk ing the trouble to acquire his language and find out something of the inner heart of the man, they will not do it-in their feverish search for fortune, they have not the time.
 And yet this farmer of the wilder ness, rough and uncouth and often surly and suspicious as he is, has a great and stirring history behind him in South Afnica, of which he is and has 2 right to be proud. He and his have struggled and trekked, and warred, and been massacred. and have suffered in blood and purse and pastoral wealth hhese two hundred and fifty years past. I doubt whether even an equal number of English peasants, farmers, soldiers and settlers, if they had been planted at the Cape in 1852 as the early Dutch were, would have emerged from the hong struggle so little spoiled, and hay ing lost so little of their national char acteristics.
 The Dutch Afrikanders are still of pure European blood, they still cling with the simplest and sublimest faith ito the literal teaching of their Bibles, still cherish with deep affection their wives and families, still go about their 1erdlng and hunting and trekking in the old slow, unconquerable, dogged spirit of their ancestors, still turn their faces north. and as their pastures grow small and crowded, trek for new lands with undimmed hope and vigor. For my part, whenever shake hands with one of these great, slow-moving, heavy listed Boers, forget his uncouth ways,

WILAING FORD.


 The Patten case is still the principal topic of conversation and a certain few who should be content to let the aueetlon rest until 1t comes up for final disposition in the supreme court of err rors, are responsible for the continued arguments and discussions on the mat that the ease will remain on the docket until it is reached on the court calen- dar, Is explicit enough and meets with dhe appreciation of large majority of our thinking citizens who are content to await the decision of the court and abide by the result. On the other hand, there are 8 few who have been so aggressive in their policy of with drawing the case from the court wheth- CT or no, and although they cannot help but know that they are fairly beaten, they are not willing to give up the ship and persist in trying other methods to accomplish their ends. One of the evening papers stated that War den Morris had determined to call a special meeting of the board of burg esses for Monday evening to discuss the matter and instruct Attorney Flow ter regarding the matter. As Borough Clerk Hale was ill Glastonbury and would not return before Sunday night, it was hard to see how @ meeting that would be legal could be called for Mon- day evening, when it is required that at least forty-eight hours notice must be given of said meeting. Whether or not the meeting will be held this evning it cannot be said, and if it is it is safe to predict that the members of the board would not pass any vote to Instruct Attorney Fowler or anybody alse to withdraw the Patten case from court as the situation is now. There is, without doubt, a majority of the board who are not favorable to the withdrawal of the case, and are com ten to leave the matter as it is for the present.

None but .msll men and new women may enter, for one must crawl backward through Iasssge just large enough to squeeze one's body through, and then drop some six feet in darkness and faith to the floor of the frst chamber.
