PORES STILL RAIDING.
Thirteen Small Commanders operat-
 ing in Cape Colony.

New York, Dec. 2.-The correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times at Pretoria says there thirteen Boer com mandoes with a total force of 300 men in the western districts of Cape Colony, where the eonfguration of the country. the scarcity of water and the distance from the railway, make the capture of the burghers difficult.
 There are seven commanders in Calvlnia district. two in South Sutherland. three in northeast Piouetburg and one in Clanwllliam. General French is operating with eight columns in the south and east of these districts. but there is nothing to prevent the Boers escap- ing north, where they cannot be followed in definitely. The block houses now being built are expected to prevent these raids.

 made a beautiful speech, full of tender
 ness and pathos. His eloquent words in
 reference to Hon. Francis l.. Pettus, who
 was a member of this lodge, will touch
 State. He said:
 Of all the blessings that the Great
 Creator has showered upon his image,
 man. there is not one, save eternal life
 itself, held so dear as memory. Memory
 leads us back into days gone by and
 shows us familiar and smiling faces:
 We look back over what once appeared
 a rough and rugged road of life ahead
 of us, and memory with mystic hand
 smooths all the toughest places, and
 bridges all the chasms of despair. and it seems that life's road has been smoother and better in the past than we dare hope for in the future.
 Our minds are so constructed that the pleasantesI things of life make the deepest impression. We are fortunate enough to remember the most trivial thing that brings pleasure, but the un- pleasant things are soon forgotten, and thus we are left with d past we can look back upon with pleasure, and 1t seems that after all, the days gone by are the best. And as we look back, among the most pleasant of our mem- | ories is that of the friends and brothers we used to have. We think of the hap | piness and the good they brought to others, and alas, of the grief we expe- | rienced when they left us. Some of them have left us and gone to render their account to the Exalted Ruler of the l Universe, and it Is of them we think | and speak today. One of our notices is, | The faults of our brothers we write
 upon the sand, their virtues upon the | tablets of love and memory. We have done that in the cases of our departed | brothers. Eschelman and Pcttus. and | the tears of grief shed al their departing have washed from the sands the few | faults our brothers had and have left | their virtues pure and shining in the | of that cold, and a memory that brings back to us their excellence.
 In these two brothers we see the high
 est type of the private citizen and the statesman. They were both true men and
 the three cardinal principles of Justice, | Brotherly Love and Fidelity. Brother ] Eschelman spent his life as a tradesman,

bald men gray, Is forever set at rest, and men may go about their usual avocation in the serene consciousness which comes to us from knowing the worse. The Gan kof Cult should be inaugurated and dis ciples rush forward to the shrine of the infant phenomenon of Hoboken. and, as the circus reporter says, in less time than it takes to shoe zebra, all other scien- lists will be outstripped. One New York paper, slightly skeptical in it's exultation, thinks that this is the one thing which the human race has been pining for ever since it's founders were evicted from Eden and that kindly persons have mourned secretly over the attempts of various religious bodies to do away with it; arriving at the conclusion that we would have no place to send our enc mics to-and likewise few friends-if there were no place internal. The sinis- ter joy that is possessed by some of our day seeing their dearest foes pass into the gates of incineration must be aban- doned and yield It's place to a new dis pensa tion. It is readily admitted by the philosophers and. thinkers of Gotham that the claims of Schentzen Park to the high honor will not be questioned To those on the anxious seat one fellow pro- claims the happy fact that the ferryboats run at frequent intervals and the troll leys will take you to the very door Chi cago is a great windy city of tall build ings and lovely boulevards, and other cities are great in various respects, but 1t is to New York and her daily papers that we must turn for that refreshing and exhilirating mental pabulum that all but exerts the electrical power of gal vanizing the purifying corpse of false hood into the living eternal embodiment of beautiful truth. Great are New York and her news artists.

trotter to an American pneumatic-tire wagon. The fashion has spread, however until 1t Is quite common In and near Lon don. In Vienna, Austria. where they have a gentlemans driving club with a mem bership of five hundred. a speedway has been built, fashioned after the great New York driveway, and its patrons are the aristocratc men and women of that pro- gressive city. Wagon racing Is becoming popular with gentlemen all over the civ ilized world. and international contests are soon to follow. Dignified amusement helps to keep men young. The sprinetime of youth Is soon enough past and the nu- tumn of old age creeps upon us unawares. If, then, by moderate indulgence in some chosen gentle recreation man becomes cheerful as companion and more intel lectual. why should 1t be restrained? If enjoyment ot mild but exhilr-- 'eas- ure keeps men young and wards off old age. it is one of the choicest blessings of God. Recreation arouses the stagnated blood and sends it dancing through our veins, carrying off, in it's course, the poi sons which shorten life and disease the mind. It Is an affront to manknd it is an assault on God-given prerogative to attempt to close up the avenues to health full pleasures. It is the ruling with the least semblance of command that makes the liberty-loving citizen most easily gov erned.
 That was the boss girl the New York papers have been telling us about. She is only eight years of age, but it is more than possible that humanity owes her a debt of gratitude, for, according to the aforesaid papers. this little prophecies in her own land, this little Emma Gan kof, has forever set at rest one of the problems which most have troubled our speculative minds, by locating and duly setting forth. in terms so positive and convincing that they will not bear con tradiction. the exact abiding place of hell. The New York newspapers tell us this. and their minds, their gossip-loving. fer tile minds, are relieved Hell" saith the youthful seevess lis somewhere up near SchuetZen Park, in Union Hill" She was a witness in a Jersey City court 'I know it because I heard a man say once he was going up there to raise it."

 If we mistake not, this is the same Mir Joseph Twitchell, who darkened the air around Yale College with the suphurous vapors of his wrath on account of the graduating classes of Yale having the temerity and patriotism to select the ivy that was to be planted at the un- yelling of the statue of the late Prof Wolsey from the grave of a person who had in life borne the majestic name of Lee-Robert E. Lee. MT. Twitchell dwells at Hartford in Connecticut. He is preacher and a patriot Nay, more, he is licensed doctorer of divinity in full practice, being called in on every oc- casion when the divinity needs factoring In fact, Dr. Twitchell is regarded up there by many pious folks, among whom he dwellg. as a Turning and shining light; and that is saying a great deal when you know that those pious people can, when "rebels' name is mentioned, burn and shine a good deal on their own hook. The light of this doctor of divinity had long failed to penetrate the dark ness of the south; owing to no fault of his, probably; but 1t at last arrived in good luminous condition. It came by tel egraph and was given a prominent place with becoming headlines On that occas- ion this divine physician, or physician of the divine, delivered himself of the reg ulation oration at the unveiling of the statue to Prof Wolsey; at least, it was meant for the regulation thing. But it came to the ears of this divine medicine man, Twitchell, that the ivy that was to be planted by the statue had been se- lected by the graduating classes of Yale from the grave of General Lee. This was too much for the pious and patriotic Twitchell. He silently ground his gums outrage should never be. He got as mad as Moses did when he told Jehovah, 'If thou deal with me thus, kill me. I pray thee, out of hand" Twitchell then ex- tracted a special arrow from his ora torical quiver for this abomination, and in the midst of the regulation rhetoric he was shooting. he let this arrow fly. "He was Union man, heart and soul, and 1t would make this bronze statue avert it's head were he to know that the graduating classes of Yale College were to plant on the walls of a building on the campus an ivy from the grave of Robert E. Lee. General Lee was good man, but he was loyal to an infamous cause.'

''Who dares think one thing and another
 tell
 My heart detests him as the gates of
 hell"
 A recent Christian journal of wide in- huence and circulation, inbued with the spirit of the mountains and the fields those eternal counsellors to man-says that the most dangerous element in our society of today, as since the beginning of the world. is the hypocrite-the devil in the disguise of the gentleman. The modern pharisee Is the worthy product of the ages in Iineal descent from the man who betrayed tie Savior, but centuries of service in the employ of satan has per- fected his disguise and made him more skillful and cunning in his villainy. He stands on the high places and declaims to the world of meekness and fidelity, while he himself is living falsehood. Shakespeare had to do with the pharisee of his day and he pictures him in strenu- ous and eternal coloring. But then I sigh and with a piece of scripture, tell them that God bids us do good for evil: and thus I clothe my naked villainy with
  and seem a saint when most I play the devil. Why, I can smile, and murder while I smile; and cry, content, to that which gives my heart; and wet my cheeks with artificial tears, and frame my face to all occasions." The mighty Talmage and the mostfeminent teachers of Chris tianity, not only advise and inculcate the practice of the reasonable sports and pastimes. but enjoys in them themselves; yet, an unknown, to us. Mr. Twitchell of Hartford arraigns in the severest and most intolerant spirit the promoters of sports and pastimes not because, l dare say, he believes in his heart they are ire ligious, but because his inborn antagonism to those things which are good for the body and broaden the intellect makes him oppose all things which do not conform to narrow and malevolent ideas. He op- poses the ownership and driving of a fast horse, not because he believes. as he says,
