Miscellaneous business.
D. McKinnon has received q letter
from his brother, Malcolm who is q resi-
dent of johannesburg, South Africa,
which gives US an inside view Of the
situation in that disturbed country just
before the breaking out of hostilities.
1t Is also a satisfaction to know from q
reliable source that not many Ameri-
cans were involved in the instruction
airy movement. He writes under date
Of December %, just a day or two before
Jameson's raid, q follows: II have to
tell you that we are going to have q big
war in this country. There is an English
party here which is set against the
Dutch government and which has de-
clared it's intention Of reforming affairs.
They have called their tirst meeting for
the 9th day OF January and I think there
will be trouble here. There ID q run on
all the banks at present and all demand
gold; 50 it will affect business and all
kinds of work. l think l will stay with
the Dutch Republic as I think they are
in the right. All the Americans will be
with the Dutch except a few, who are
working for the rich men. So I
hardly know what to tell at present, but
should anything happen M you will find
my life insurance policy and what

Of my property in California, all in the
National Bank of Africa" 1t will be
een from the foregoing that Mr.. Nc
Kinnen had a true insight Of the
situation but praotioed good political
and personal business sagscity.
Anpao Kin, the Indian mission paper,
edited by the Rev, w. J. Cleveland and
printed at this Office in the tsngle-tongue
vernacular of South Dakota native
Sioux, appears to be gaining q world
wide reputation. From the Atlantic to
the Pacific seemed, at first, a rather wild
and ambitious flight for this little sheet;
but, when a call for it is received from
G. Poms, Italian Charge d'Affaires, Le-
gazione di s. M. il Re dItalia, Maxico
City, Mexico, we think it is time to call a
halt. What this Italian minister at the
court Of Mexico may be up to, who can
tell? For ourselves, We have never been
able to see anything at all in the paper
which We cared to devote time to read
ing. In fact, al occasional proper name
and the innocent looking Illustrations
are all that have interested US hitherto
Meanwhile We have gone on with blind
confidence In the management, carefully
jumbling up the alphabet each month
in strict accordance with copy, and as
painstakingly rejumbling them into diff
ferent alelioscopic figures again when
corrected proof ID returned to US, and all
the while feeling sure that our efforts
we're helping immensely to ~civilize the
Red Men. The times are out Of
Joint, however, and new complica-
tons may arise from the most
unsupported causes no one can forsee.
1t is this which makes US a little nerv-
u in the present instance. Our rela-
tons with both Italy and Mexico being
all o. X. up to date, we protest our in
nocense should G. Poma, Esq, be engin-
eering some deep italian plot with our
wards. At any rate we think the Ven
ezuelian question should be settled first

II suffering with piles, it will interest
you to know that DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve will cure them. This medicine
is a specific for all complaints Of this
character, and if instructions (which are
simple) are carried out, a cure will re-
suit. We have tested this in numerous
cases, and always with like results. 1t
never fails. FRANK SMITH.
