with his head and stomach but the
exact nature of the trouble was I'M

disease and said that he could cure it.
Hard as it was to believe or hope, yet

pores (the millions of minute canals

pores are continually discharging re-

AN AFRICAN MISSIONARY.
Why the Beers Do Not Like the
English.

The "St. James Gazette contains
this arraignment of the Beers by an
African missionary:
Among the Populations at the
autumnal assembly of the Congrega-
tional Union at Bristol yesterday was
the Rev. w. Dover, representing the
Congregational Union of South Africa,
and his was the speech that excited
most attention. Mr. Dover, who has
recently returned to England, after
thirty-four years continuous labor in
South Africa, said that their ministers
at the present time were standing up
like one man to demand that from the
Zambesi down to Cape Town every civ
ilized man should be treated with equal
ity in the eyes of the law. He loved
the Dutch, he was not ashamed to say
it.; he had worked side by side with
them for many years, he had many
personal friends among them; but
whenever they came to the question Of
even-handed justice and equality to
colored men, then came in the cleavage
At the root of the terrible condition of
affairs at the present time in South
Africa was the question of color and
had patriarchal notions about color.
They said God intended the colored man
to be a servant, and that the English.
in abolishing slavery and in desiring
to give them the franchise, were acting
against nature and against Scripture.
The cornerstone in their policy in the
Transvaal, and the very thing on which
their State was founded. was that no
man touched with color should enjoy
the rights of citizenship. In the Trans
vaal and in the Orange Free State a
colored man could buy as much land as
would bury him, but nothing more
Why was it that the members OF the
Transvaal Government were so OBJ
stinately opposed to the idea of intro
ducing the outlanders amongst them!
Was it a question of independence? IN
dependence in the mouth OF English
men and in the mouth of the Boer was
different thing. Independence with
the Beers was freedom from external
control, in order that he might deprive
other men of their independence and
tax men without representation and to
deprive them who were as white as
they were of the privilege of citizenship
why Was II tney .Weic o1A GU "
outlander? Because they knew that
when he came in it was only question
of time; and the more humane policy
of Cape Colony and Great Britain would
be the policy of the Transvaal. So far
as ne knew Dutchmen, that was the
one thing they would not tolerate. They
liked it pretty much as cat liked
mustard, and they were prepared to
fight and to die in defense of that OBJ
solete and unrighteous policy which de-
prived colored man of all civil rights

Charged With Plagiarism.

A writer who is given to making
verses, long ago composed a pretty lit
tie jingle about girls and men and sum-
mer breezes and fancies that live in
all seasons. 1t was good. He recited
it to friends now and again, and they
always praised it. One day he wrote
out the lines fairly and sent the copy to
a magazine. Then he went away to the
war. He came back with a surgeon
certificate of disability and a discharge
not long ago and found his mother had
been keeping for him singing letter
from the magazine editor, together
with a marked copy of the magazine
itself. There was the poem, with only
a word changed here and there; and
over it was a name he never had
heard.
He was in more trouble than when
the Filipino bullet hit him and sent him
to the hospital, but he wrote the truth
to the editor, sending with his letter a
number from his friends supporting his
claim. He made no contest for the
honor of authorship or the price of the
poem. He simply wanted to put him
self right with the editor
After about two months he received a
letter from stranger. 1t was dated at
Ell Paso, Texas, and it ran:
You remember sitting in the mana
gers office at Blan's Theater and re-
citing little poem about summer girls
don't you? You may remember me-
I was there. l knew you would never
do anything with the poem, so I wrote
it down. Several other fellows said
some good things there, and 1 have sold
them to Truth and Puck and some
OF the other funny papers. But l like
to do the square thing, so 1 write to
tell you. You can get a copy of the
magazine with the poem in it. You will
find it in the July number. If 1 could
remember the other fellows 1 would
tell them, too.'
This writer-soldier sent the letter to
the editor, simply asking that he be
accepted as an honest man, and closed

within the Transvaal. They might say
What about the Jameson raid?' AS to
the Jameson raid, let them hang their
heads with sorrow and shame, but was
Jameson the only raider? Hadn't the
Beers ever raided? Hadn't their whole
history since they left the colony been
one continued raid? and if it was bad of
Jameson to raid, was it not bad OF
them? The whole country was bristllng
with anomalies, paradoxes, and prob
