London Financial Market.

New York, Feb 26.-The Times London
financial correspondent cables: All last
week the English open market was lean
ing on the Bank of England, paying in
tax with one hand and borrowing the
money again with the other. Accord
ingly rates have been stiff all round, both
for loans and discounts but with a ten
dency IN the last two days to ease down.
Today will probably see this tendency
accentuated through the mere prospect of
large treasury disbursements on March
l.. Against these the market will have to
known that the government must imme-
diately begin paying war bills and count
ing on his dealers in credit have been
buying bills to arrive early next month at
39s per cent.
AS success comes to our troops prices
rise; when doubt or reverse hangs over
them they recede, and all the time specu-
alton remains shriveled.
We still have plenty OF capital waiting
investment If only good securities were
offered to draw it out. AS for new Joint
stock enterprises they mostly never get
beyond talk II some recent efforts have
betaken themselves to the provinces,
leaving London with it's fleeing customs

Money can be had If only the thing Of
fered looks good enough. Prosperity
must be with us, for UP to date the chan
cellor of the e~Xcheuucr had received near

to contemplate, but although it would re-

Today Lord Roberts sent General Cron-
je an offer of a safe conduct for the wom-
en- and children, together with a free pass
to any point for them and also an offer
of doctors and medicine. Cronje's reply
was a curt refusal and desultory shelling
was resumed. &
Artillery Smelling continued during the
early part of last night. AS soon as the
last gun was fired the Shropshires, who
had been occupying the river bed since
Sunday, rushe forward, seized an addi-
tional 200 yards of near ground and en-
trenched a fresh position before daybreak.
At dawn General Cronje found himself
locked that amount Of space. The ShrOp-
shires a done excellent work under a
CALLING fire since Sunday and they were
relieved by the Gordons today.
The exchange OF position a its anus
ing features, i'm spite of the danger. The
Gordons crawled on their stomachs to the
trenches n the Shropshires crept out OF
these by actual, reaching over the Cor
dons.
The scene of the last few days fighting

French's horse, far away on the TANKS,
prevents a sudden thrush of Beers.
During the artillery fire last evening the
mules of the send battery. which had re-
manned hitched to the carriages, suddenly
stampeded and galloped off enmasse, but
today the wagons with one exception were
recovered.
Gen. French has sent in 20 prisoners. A
British patrol, eight miles to the west,
discovered 20 Beers wandering away and
corraled them. Already this force has
captured 400 of the enemy. while many
dead Beers hav been seen. :
The Boer prisoners are all depressed at
the present course of the war and they
comment bitterly Upon General Cronje's
persistence, which they call murder"
Today a German ambulance attached to
the Boer forces was allowed to traverse
the British lines in front of Jacobsdal.
Quantities of cattle, sheep and trek oxen

So the ill wind of poverty blew to
the orphan boy such blessings as are
seldom found In the track of the fair
winds of fortune Il blew him to the
country at an age when the sons of
many well-to-do parents are starting on
the road to loafeEdom. 1t gave him
heaithful exercise amid the beauties Of
nature, in mountainous region where
air and water are unsurpassed in Dur.
ity, and where the skies rival the skies
of Sunny Italy in tints of blue and
gold and amethyst. 1t gave him phys
ical development to stand the coming
strain when the noble mind would
struggle for wider range and higher

cipline of daily duty to prepare bim
for the responsibilities Of any position
to which an honorable American citi

When a small boy he learned his let
ters from white girls at places where
his grandmother was employed. She
took him with her instead of leaving
him alone or in doubtful company, and
was as particular in training him as II
he had been girl. He attended Sun.
day school taught by a free colored
man and woman and favored slave,
and there learned to spell words of two
syllables. In the winter of 1864 he be-
gan going to private school, which
he continued to attend until the Freed
men'e Bureau sent teachers to Athens
in 1865. What if his first school room
had a dirt floor? What if his first teach.
ers used Webster's spelling book and
Noah's methods of teaching? He was
eager and glad and happy to sit on
rough bench and take home some kind
of script to copy, as there were no desks
in the primitive school houses. Three
of these Negro school houses in the
town of Athens, and four others in the
were destroyed by fire. One
Of these stood so near the little cottage
of his grandmother that the same fire
swe pit away both buildings in August,
1868.
After the Freedmen's Bureau, came |
the helping hand Of northern philan

souls glowed with pity. and piety, and
left pleasant homes in com
