Two samples of rice, dressed and pol.

one of mahogany, the other of India

the India Pride secretary wus found
in perfect condition, while that from
the mahogany was parcel of dust,

the United States. While bis parents
and he were being shown through the
beautiful country seat of Hampton
court, in England, in company with a
high English nobleman, little Jack
was playing about and learning a
great many lessons. The custodian
was telling his usual tales, and in the
winery he pointed out vine planted
by George III. He explained that the
grapes from that particular specimen
were reserved for the queen herself,
that no lesser parsonage tasted them.
Turning, with a patronizing air, to
Young America, who was gazing at
the vine, he said:

CRONJE'S SURRENDER.
A Picturesque Account of How the News
Stunned the Beers.

A Picturesque Account of How the News
Stunned the Beers.
|. A London correspondent, A. G..
Hales, who was taken prisoner by the
Beers and returned by them to Gen.
Gatacre, sends to his paper an account
of how the Beers received the news of
Cropie's surrender. He was at Burgh-
ersdorp when the news came through.
He writes
"When the news came the folk would
not believe it. They would just as
soon have believed that the sun could
fall from the heavens and leave the
earth in darkness as that Cropje, the
iron -willed, tiger-hearted Cropje, could
throw down his arms. Had the news
come that he had made mad rush at
our guns and perished with all his men
around him they might have believed
it-believed it and wept, and even as
they wept they would have sworn to
avenge him. But they would not,
they could not and they did not be-
lieve that he, the man in whom they
had placed their faith, had surrendered
with thousands of his men.
But at last the truth became known
some who had escaped from CroDje's
laager brought in the fateful news, and
then the stolid looking fighting men
broke down. They wept like boys.
Great rugged bearded men dashed
their rifles to the ground and spurned
them with their boots, while down
their sun and wind tanned faces the
tears poured readily. Others took the
news sadly, with chins dropping on
their chests, with hard set faces, white
with passionate pain too deep for
words; they stood leaning upon their
rifles with hands hard gripped until
one would think the frightened muscles
would leave the impression of the
straining fingers upon the cold steel.
Others again crowded together and
looked dumbly from face to face, like
cattle fore. gathered to the shambles.
The blow had stunned them. To them
Cronje was something more than a
man he was an idol; what the great
Corsican was to the French soldiery
after the battle of Austerlitz, so Cronje
was to these rude farmers. He was
their brain centre, their rallying point.
Had Paul Kruger betrayed them to
their foes for the sake of British gold
they would not have felt the shock as
they felt this one mans surrender.
"If Cronje had loved his country
half as we'll as his country loved him
be would have marched right on to
the point of a British bayonet on that
morning so disastrous to the Boer arms,
and have yielded up his life in order
that the memory of his name might
have remained as a watchword on the
lips and in the hearts of his gallant
yeoman soldiery. When the crash
came, when the Beers knew for cer-
tainty that Cronje had yielded, they
felt that their idol was shattered. He
had been to them as god fashioned
out of marble. They found him at
last to be only man made out of mud,
and when he fell the Cape Dutch cause
and the Orange Free State fell with
him. When he laid down his arms he
launched thunderbolt into the Boer
camp which wrecked it forever"

s@- Regarding General Butler and
bis supplies there is an interesting
anecdote. Butler telegraphed from
Natal to some wine merchants to send
out SO cases of champagne marked
"Castor OIL" About the time the
wine was due Butler wired the officer
in charge of the base notifying him
that he expected so cases of castor oil
which he wished dispatched without
delay. The officer at the base replied
regrettingly that the cases had not ar
rived, but saying he had procured all
the available castor oil, 20 cases, which
he had forwarded in the hopes that
it would suffice for the present. Cen
eral Buffers remarks are not recorded.
