Ten Thousand Ordered Mobilized for
South Africa.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-The government
has at last consented to mobilize force
which General Butler is credited as
having demanded all along as essential
to success in South Africa, namely, 10,-
00O mounted infantry. The men must
be between : and IS years Of age and
of equal physique to the ordinary cav
airy soldiers Officers and men are to
provide their own horses and to wear
neutral tint cloth shooting jackets, not
necessarily uniform, felt hats, light
breeches and CATERS. The same order
invites every volunteer regiment that is
linked with regular battalion serving
at the front to supply full company,
which will take the place of mounted
infantry regiments. These arrange
ments are expected to result in a con-
siderable force. The enthusiasm of
volunteers continues and promises to
give the government ample material.

The Passing of the "11aysecd.v

AAC AANbAuB O1 TIC ''11uybecUs
Who does not know him, with his
goatlike beard, his wispy hair, his "gal-
luses" Of homely cut, his trousers
evolved by the seeming aid Of buzz
saw, his voice Of an impossible nasal
ity, his speech uncOuth, his gestures
ungainly, his greenness amazing? Who
has not seen him on the stage of the
vaudeville farce or outlined by the
Dverworked caricaturist? No one.
We are familiar with him from alb
surd hat to ludicrous footwear, and
have been for years. Who sees him on
the streets of northwestern cities to-
day? No one.
In modified form he exists in that
part Of the nation which Bostonese are
wont to call "way down east" He
also exists to some extent in the New
England that is nearer Boston than
Maine, while from New York and New
Jersey he Is not altogether absent.
West of a line drawn north and south
through Chicago he is rarc-at least as
an Indigenous variety.
The passing Of the "hayseed" is de-
sirable. AS the farmer becomes more
like him Of the city he and his children
of metropolitan life, will recognize his
innate and indcstructiblc independence
and will be better satisfied with his lot.
