Averted q Kafir War

At this moment, says the2Londor
Chronicle, the following anecdote OF
the famous Sir Harry Smith, after
whose wife the town of Ladysn1ith is
named, may not be without interest.
The Kafirs had shown tendency to
rebel, and Sir Harry summoned the
chiefs to conference, and arranged
a speech about the greatness of Eng
land. At a proper place he was to
toucn the spring of a galvanic battery
carefully connected with some kegs of
gunpowder placed under a wagon
which was to be blown to pieces. Sir
Harry commenced his speech. The
crisis arrived. The connection was
made; but, unfortunately, the wagon
was only tilted on end. Notwith-
standing the failure Of the carefully
rehearsed drama, the interview did
not come to an end without a real
theatrical performance. One of the
chiefs 7entured to express doubt of
the Intentions of the British. This
was too much for Sir Harry. Carried |
away by lit of rage, he drew his |
sword, and, presenting it at the naked |
breast of the savage, he swore he
would run him through if he did not
there and then take an oath of obedi-
e1ce to the Government. The as.
'embled chiefs were cowed by the un-
Tonted outbreak. One after another
hey subscribed the required submls-
ion, and Sir Herry's wrath--Mr.
Nixon, the traveller, who tells the story,
