The London correspondent Of the Phil.

commentary upon the instability Of hu-
man affairs that the former owner Of the
entire city Of Johannesburg now lies a
confirmed invalid in the workhouse in
Urinary Of the quaint old market town
Of Guildford in Surrey. The old man
seems to have had a remarkable career.
He was in the service OF the East India
Company, fought in the Crimea, was Sc
riously wounded ct Ssbastopol. and after.
wards passed through the Indian mutiny.
He then went to South Africa, where
be fought against the Zulus and the
Beers before the Transvaal was made
over to them. He bought for 81, $50, his
accumulated savings. over 10, 900 acres
Of land near the source Of the Limpopo,
where he made up his mind to ultimately
settle. But war broke ont, he took up
arms against the Beers and formed one
Of the party who held Pretoria against
them. In 1880, when the republic was
declared, he refused to accept service
under President Kruger, and the conse-
quence was that his land, upon q portion
Of which the Transvasl city of johann
nesburg now stands, was forfeited. Thus
the old man who lies dying without a
penny in the world just escaped being
rich beyond the dreams Of avarice."
