Black Snow.


Recently in the Alps some Of the ma,
tives were greatly worried at a fall Of
apparently black snow. Had 1t not
been that a scientist was on hand to
explain that the blackness Of the snow
was caused by insects the Alps might
have furnished a miracle story for fu-
ture grandfathers to talk about by the
winter fire. 1t Is a curious fact that
an almost microscopic 1ea as black as
ink feeds in the winter upon the moss
and nchens Of the trees and rocks OF
the mountain tops. In mild weather
millions Of these minute creatures ny
in swarms, often taking advantage Of
snow storm to emerge. When tired
they settle upon the snow, thus max
ing 1t look black. Sometimes whole
acres will be dotted with the insects,
the snow appearing q dark gray color
on account Of their presence. -

Protestant Christianity Among the Zuius.

Max O'Rell has just published a
companion volume to "John Bull and
His Island 1t is called John Bull
and Co." and is devoted to his expert
ences during a trip round the British
Empire. His impression of the Zulu
he thus records: "The Zulus are viz
tuous, moral, and honest as the day,
and the missionaries who have set
tied there to convert them have gone
to the wrong place. If you lose any
thing, no matter what, in a kraal and
a Zulu finds it he will run after you.
These remarks apply to the Zulu in
the raw state. The converted Zulu is
quite different person. * . II
Many English people will be sur
prised to hear this, but can affirm
that in the colonies no one ignores the
fact In the natural state the Zulus are
honest and their women are virtuous.
When they have gone through the ap-
OF civilization in the mis-
sions the women's virtue often loses
much OF its rigidity, and the men lie
and cheat like Christians OF the
deepest die. The Zulus are virtuous
and honest by instinct, and it is diff,-
cult to see how their -child-like souls
can be improved by theory which,

The Eight of Elandslaagte.

Thunder of hoofs and bugler's cry ;
And down through the Veldt came the
British Horse
Down with rush on the burgher
With. a whirlwind's sudden force.
Maxim and shrapnel had done their
work
Only the charge was needed now
Only the light Horse sweep and dash
:. To clear the kopje's brow.
The shouting of men and neighing Of
steeds,
Beating of hoofs like an angry sea,
And on, in one long wave of red,
Game England's cavalry!
IAN instant yet and the knoll is theirs
An instant yet and the little band
Will be swept and whirled by the red
simeon
Like breath Of desert sand.
When, sudden stepped from the shell
ter rocks
Eight burghers-eight in their hero
might
And there they stood as single man
To meet the awful fight.
Down came the laundering mass Of
=. horse q
But see! where the eight are standing
there,
Eight rifles CLEAN, eight rifles flash
Red death upon the air!
All, little thought they-eight mortal
men-
ITO stay that onward surging tide
.soOnly for one brief moments space,
To turn it's rage aside.
To turn it's rage while their comrades
slipped
will,
Back to the Lager, stanch and grim,
Where Joubert held the hill.
A mighty crash from the charging
troop
For the burgher eight sheet of
flame
. And, where they stood, but one was
left
Sole hostage unto fame!
Yet now you know-yea all men know
That-live or die-the great Veldt
breeds
AS did the Switzer crags of old,
Old freedoms Winkelrieds.
Undauntel sons who scott at fate,
Rough children of Afric Rand
Yet firm as are the eternal hills
Fer God and native land!

after all, may be summed up. in these
few words: DO not sin, but if Won
do sin make yourselves easy; you
have only to believe and all your sins
will be blottcd out Let us sin, then
says the converted Zulu too often,
the more we sin the more will be for
given u.s." Mr.. C. p. Sherman, a
Protestant clergyman, writes to the
press denying that the doctrine Of
justification by faith alone has the ei..
iects indicated either amongst the Zu-
lus or elsewhere. In such a matter
however, he can hardly be regarded as
perfectly impartial witness.

IT'S, it Is the Shannon's stream
Brightly glancing, brightly glancing!
See, oh see the ruddy beam
Upon it's waters dancing!
Thus returned from travel vain,
Years of exile, years of pain,
To see old Shannon's face again,
Oh, the bliss enhancing!
Hail! our own majestic stream,
Flowing ever, flowing ever,
Silent in the morning beam,
Our own beloved river!
Fling thy rocky portals wide,
Western ocean, western ocean;
Bend ye hills on either side,
In solemn, deep devotion;
While before the rising gales
On his heaving surface sails,
Half the wealth of Erins wales
With undulating motion.
Hail! our own beloved stream,
Flowing ever, flowing ever,
Silent in the morning beam,
Our own majestic river!
On thy bosom deep and wide,
Noble river, lordly river,
Royal navies safe might ride,
Green Erin's lovely river!
3 Proud upon thy banks to dwell,
Let me ring Ambitions knell
Lured by Hopes Elusive spell
Again to wander, never.
Hail! our own romantic stream,
Flowing ever, flowing ever,
Silent in the morning beam,
Our own majestic river!
Let me, from thy placid course,
Gentle river, mighty river,
Draw such truth Of silent force,
AS sophist uttered never.
Thus, like thee, unchanging still,
With tranquil breast and ordered will
My heaven-appointed course fulfill,
Underwriting ever!
Hail! our own majestic stream,
Flowing ever, flowing ever;
Silent in the morning beam,
Our own delightful river!

force of police which was drafted into
the town for the occasion, and the re-
appearance, at the meeting, of police
notetakers, two of whom, dispatched
from Dublin, specially, did duty for

takers experienced, however, one un-
foreseen difficulty in the performance
of their work, as one of the principal
speakers, Mr.. Phelim Seaman, made a
stirring speech in Irish, which was
vociferously cheered by the people,
while it threw the police stenog-

man. consisting of himself, wife and
six children, the youngest about a
year old. Mr.. Speakman is a. man
over 70 years old, really unable to
york, and the family has been sup
ported altogether for some time by
the work of the eldest daughter, a
girl of IL years, who was taken down
sick a week or two ago. The mother
is native woman. and although not
old doesn't seem to know how to do
any thing for the relief of the family
Th e Optic understands that there
is nothing to eat in the house and
no wood to keep them warm.
Let the city council and the
aid societies move in this matter al
once. With the wonderfully pros
porous year that has been experienc
ed in all lines of business, poor
little children should not be allowed
to suffer within the city limits fol
want of bread.
The family resides in a little house
on Railroad avenue between Nationa
and Main streets.

Farewell Dance.

Prof. Ford and wife will give their
farewell dance Friday night, January
Eth. 1t is with regret that. Las Negans
see them leave the city. Prof. Ford
came here March, 1898, and remained
i've months, returning again June
Gath, 1899.
It is truly astonishing to learn how
many pupils they have taught and in
no one case have they made failure.
The music they have. furnished for
their social dances has been excellent.
II is with profound regret that their
many friends part with such talented
people and The Optic wishes
taem success in their new field and
hopes they may be enabled to return
here again some time in the future.
