Pet Joubert, Communicated of

old, and in the Transvaal's history he
has borne part scarcely less conspic-

himself. He has long been the mill

noted fighter and tactician-and his ca
reer in the field has been distinguished
by many successes. While commander
in-chief, as has been stated, he is still
subordinate to the Volksraad and the
president. When the Jameson raiders
were rushing upon Pretoria, Joubert
proposed to advance against them with

Marriage is solemn undertaking at
any time, though so many enter on it
with light heart, but it is question
able if any marriage ever gave rise to
more speculation as to it's possible eff
feet on American politics than the
union Of Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Ha-
zen. 1t is astounding how many peo-
pie can be found who can scent i'm
portant political changes as the result
of the famous admirals very natural
desire for a congenial partner in his
new Washington home. 1t is by no
means. probable that this interesting
match was made up so suddenly as has
been represented More likely, as sail
ors say. the lasses at home had hold OF
the Olympia's tow rope through all her

In the current number of the Geo.
graphical Journal Dr. Moreno gives an
account of Patagonia, which is por-
ton of that vast area in South Amer
lea still unknown to geography, and
interesting because of the rich prod
ucts, which it probably contains, and
it's charming landscapes. 1t seems that
Patagonia does not merit the bad repu-
tation as regards scenery which it has
had since Darwin and Fitzroy received
disagreeable impression from the
portion they explored. The plateaus
of Arizona find their analogy in the
table lands of Patagonia, and "the
picturesque fjords and white noun
tains of Alaska seem to be a copy OF
the fjords and mountains of Pata-
gonia." The analogy might be pushed
ever further, for it seems there is a
strange similarity between the ancient
customs and industries of the Alaskan
and Patagonian Indians.
