with difficulty in securing outstanding
obligations against the state. There is nov
available atnnt $75.NN i'm bond sinking

could he secured. but us none are due he
fore i!m2 The holders refuse TO surrender
tllem unless ii premium is paid, which the
treasurer has no power to do. The pre-
demanded run from $l.0l to Sl.07 according
1" the length of time the bonds lave yet to
run. All optional bonds which We're OUT
standing have been taken ul,, az we'll as
the whole of the issue of 500, 0OD known as
constitutional bonds. On account of the
fact that no state securities would be due
for several years, the state board made no
sinking fund levy at its last session, and
none will be needed for several years,
unless some of the holders of state Securi-
ties can be induced to surrender them be-
fore they become due.

Danecrou.

Upon returning to camp We found
that John, the driver, had purchased Il
load of pumpkins, which the nntive
men and women from the MaEoe valley
had brought to the wagon to barter. AT
tirst l was pleased, but when l found
that John had traded away about Wen
ty pounds OF presarvat.ve. consisting of
alum and arsenic, which he had mistak-
III for salt, l was filled with dismay!.
We knew not the villages whence the
natives had come. nor could we explain
the mistake, as We We're ignorant of
their language. and before my scared
mental vision rose piles of dead Ma
shonas, pestilence and war on the
whites - provided there remained
enough live Mashonas to make it.
Hence it was that before daylight the
next morning we left for the fort. We
made no mention of the matter to IN
one, but a year later. when visiting the
Mazoe valley, l inquired of the natives
IL there had been any disease among
them about the time when the white
men arrived In the country. They said
there had been an epidemic of stomach
aches, but, fortunately. no one had died
from it; SO my conscience was pro-
foundly relieved.-From "On the South
African Frontier. by William Brown.
