Stay Told of Abel Erasmrs . the Roer
Leader, and Lord WoIseiey

SthrS Ioid OF Abel Erasmus, the BOer
Leader, and Lord WoIseIey.
The dispatches from South Africa a
short time ago announced the coming
into the British lines OF prominent
Bocr, Abel Erasmus, and his family.
This Erasmus Is not the commandant
of the same name who failed to effect
a junction with Lucas Meyer at the at
tack on Glencoe at the opening Of the
war, but the great political adversary
of President Kruger.
\ good story is told by the New York
Sun of the old Bocr aud Lord Woise-
ley, then Sir Garnet Wolscley, in con
nection with the part Erasmus took in
Wolseley's campaign in 1879 against
Sekukuni, the chief Of the Bapedi~ on
the borders Of Swaziland. After the
capture of Sckukunl he was mmedi-
ately brought before Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley, who asked him how he, a miserable
kafiir, living In a cave, dared to defy
the great Queen Of England The chief

Abel Erasmus know that If ever he
found that Erasmus had been melting

and he was able to lay hands on him.
Abel Erasmus would hang as high az

\ few days after the dinner Sir Hen
ry Brackenbury, Sir Garnets military
secretary, was sitting in his office when
,alI, bearded Bocr entered and asked
permission to speak with him.

here"
He explained that he had come to sec
Sir Garnet Wolseley, for he had heard
that Sir Garnet had said that If lie
could lay hold Of him he would hang
him, and so he had come to be hanged.
Sir Garnet was in the next room aud
Sir Henry Brackenbury thought it
would be advisable to consult him on
the subject. Sir Garnet, however, hap
pened to be too busy at the moment to
see anybody and Sir Henry, after re-
fection, persuaded his angry visitor to
take his leave and allow the hanging
to stand over for the time.

THE MINSTREL.

The Greig Minstrel Company,
a local organization gave their first
entertainment last Sunday, and
their first effort was a complete
success.
The heavy rain in the evening
iuterfered to some extent, hut did
not prevent them to make their
parade. The Company, including
the band was uniformed with
black pants, long linen busters
and red ''stove pipes" and made a
very crebitable show.
The hall was crowded to its ut
most capacity, anu the manage
ment had to refuse the sale OF
seats because none was left, and
all the standing room was TAKEN
it was one of the largest audiences
we have seen in that hall.
The Company did very we'll.
the music as every one knows. is
first class and the acting, was az
good, even better than we have
ever seen from.sany troup trave'

their entertainment has given en-.

than to say that the entertainment
was first class, and this was The
