Lord Wolseley tells an amusing
story of his experience with Abel
Erasmus, the Boer, who has Just come
into the British lines in South Africa.
In 1879 Wolseley was making n cam
paign against Sekukini, the chief of
the Bapedis near Swaziland After
he had captured the chief and put
down the rebellion, he asked Sekukini
how he dared make war against a
great power like England. The KafIir
replied that lie had been urged on by
Erasmus.
Soon after, at a public dinner Mt Pre-
toria. Lord Wolseley made a speech in
which he said that if he ever found
that Erasmus had melted the chiefs
to war he would hang him.
a day or two later n tall. bearded
Boer appeared at Wolseley's Office and
said TO the secretary, Sir Henry Brack-
enbury:
II am Abel Erasmus. and I have
very important business to transact.

has declared that he will hang me
whenever he can lay hands on me. so

The secretary admitted the advisa-
bility of consulting Sir Garnet, who
was in the next room. and it happened
that the general was busy and could
not stop TO discuss other matters. even
so important as hangings. According
ly he returned to the Boer. and pGci-
fed him by suggesting that the bus

The Opal superstition.

There is one superstition of wide
range and influence that is directed
against one of the. most beautiful OBJ
jects I'M nature. the opal. A man in
my town failed in business. and what
do you think he did? Took his opal
ring into the yard and smashed It to
pieces with a hammer! He did that In
the Nineteenth century! He ascribed
his bankruptcy to that opal, p ne
intended neither to suffer such mtsfor-
time again o to allow any other n
to do 50 by inheriting or buying that
il-starred property.
One OF the most amusing instances
Of a trust in the wrong things is re-
ported from New York, where q mar
took an opal to a jeweler and asked
him to sell 1t, as he. had had nothing
but bad luck since he owned It, his
business ventures having failed. his
children having suffered illness, and
the Old Scratch having been to pay
generally. The jeweler found the gem
to be an imitation. Its falsity
have been obvious to everybody except
the victim, because the opal is the only
stone that has never been paassably I'm
itated.-Lippincott. III b
