Of one mind regarding the late General
Joubert; and if it were possible for
him to-day to look into the hearts OF
his fellow-men all the world over,
friend and foe alike, he would see
that which would stir his rugged
and chiyalrous soul, for in the hour
of his death all men lamented his un-
timely end and bowed their heads in
reverence to his memory. To have
produced one citizen like General
Joubers is a finer achievement than
