Elias Lambert Hendrix.

AS it. has pleased God in his wise
providence to take from us our dear
husband and father, Elias Lambert
Hendrix, age 81 years, one month and
fifteen days, it is sore grief to our
heart, but he said he had the sweet
assurance of heaven, asking me, his
wife, to sing, when the last breath
was leaving his body, so I could help
him rejoice. I hope he is rejoicing
with Christian the angels, as he
has left me to weep. He died May
ID, 1906. He was a comfort at home
and abroad, so lively and cheerful.
We had little treasure once,
Hc was our joy and pride,
We loved him, all, perhaps too well,
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
Wife and Daughter.

Two gentlemen were travelling in

not long ago, bound on an explora-

for two hours without encountering

was very still. The hogs lay where
they had fallen, the thin clay-banls

neat circle, to save the trouble of
walking, and one lean, lank man,

Basutoland, 'S05 whites, 347,731 ma

have now to be added in the Trans
vaal,. under the description "others,N,
some $4,000 Chinese indentured labor
ers employed. on the mines for limit
ell term of years. AS showing the
mixed nature Of the colored races in
South Africa, apart from the natives
proper, it is interesting to note that
included in the 26,632 colored people
i'll the Cape Colony alone are Malays,
Indians, Chinese, Abyssinians, AT

lis, South American, Swahili, West

The disparity between the white
and black population in some of the
districts is enormous. For instance,
III the King William s Town district
of the Cape Colony, the scene of some
of the most disastrous Kaf1ir wars of
the last century, there were in 1904
only 1884 whites in the midst of
92,21S natives. But even that is not
All extraordinary case. In Glen Grey,
a handful of 600 whites is begrit by
54,372 blacks; in Herschel, 279 by &c.
620; in Komgha, $40 by 1906; in
Peddie, 1,343 by 1880; and so on.
1t is really only in the largest cities
and in some of the Dutch districts that
the white exceeds the native and col
ored population, and even there the
differences are comparatively small.
The Cape Division (Which includes the
municipality of Cape TOWN. shows a
European surplus of but 1883, in q
total population of 212,257; and the
municipality of Johannesburg only
5000 in 160,017. In the Witwaters-
rand district (Which embraces johann
nesburg and several other important
municipalities, with population of
2G0,3SS, the natives and colored peo-
pie exceed the whites by 27,04S, and
this without reckoning the $4,000
Chinese. In Swaziland, with a total
population of S5,4S4, the percentage
Of natives is nearly 90, there being on
ly S9S whit tes as against 1851 ma
tives and So "others.' The Zout-
pansberg district of the TransvaaI
shows 1908 whites amidst 300,349 ma
tives and 2G6 "others.'
Of course, the strongest guarantee
against any general rising on the part
of then atives of the South African
colonies lies in the want of political
cohesion amongst the various tribes
many of which have by no means for.
gotten the sanguinary traditions of in.
ter-racial wars in the past, when the
hosts of the dreaded Chaka and Nose.

Lobengula, used to harry their weaker
neighbors with fire and assegia, spar.

A BLACK MANS COUNTRY.
In so Far as Numbers South Africa
is Entitled to the Distinction
Native Tribes Hostile.
London Tribune.

London Tribune.
South Africa is to all intents and
purpose black mans country-its
history and vital statistics are conclu-
sivc on the point. The earliest record
ed inhabitants were the little puny
Buslmen, who may now be regarded
as practically, if not quite, extinct.
They were followed from the north by
the Hottentots, a superior race, who
gradually occupied all the western
part of. South Africa down to the
cape, where the Dutch found them
when they established the settlement
at Table Bay in 1862. The Hottentots
were driven down south and west by
the Bantus or Koffirs from the north,
who gradually possessed all the terri
tory in the eastern half of South Afri-
ca. Wedged between the Kailirs and
the Dutch, the Hottentots began to
diminish, and now there are but few
remaining who have not some Euro
pean blood in their veins, except one
or two tribes in German Southwest
Africa.
The Kaf1ir tribes, however, include,
on the east coast, below the Drakens-
berg, the Zulus, the Swazis, the Am
atongas, and other nations ;while west
Of these, scattered over the inland
plateau where the Beers made their
chief settlements, live the Basutos and
Bechuanas and, further north, in
Rhodesia, the Matabele, branch of
the Zulus. The Bantus of the north
and east coast number several millions
and are by nature more fierce than the
Basutos and Bachuanas. Nowadays
we recognize in South Africa the Zu-
lus, Basutos, Matabele, and Swaizis,
all great and warlike nations-one of
them, the Basutos, actually uncon-
quered by the white man to this day,
though nominally under his aegis
then the Bechuanas, Mashonas, Shan
gans, Pondos, and Fingos, timid by
temperament, cowed by conquest, or
subdued by civilization; and finally
the dissolute, lazy, generic "Kaf1ir, "
spawn Of all and pride of none. The
black man from the East is an import
cd factor; and the Krooman of the
west coast stokes his majesty's ships
to the ports and pays but brief visits
to the shore. AS for the Lascar sailor,
he is bird of passage, Of whose COM
ing and going none take note--he is
regarded as an alien and a pariah.
The indigenous native population of
South Africa may be taken as over
5,500,000, but the colour question is
largely complicated by the influx of
Indians to Natal. In 1904 the Euro
peans thcre( Of whom so per cent.
were born in the colony) numbered
100; the natives 904,041, and the
Indians and other Asiatics, 107604.
So that the natives outnumbered the
whites by 806,932; the Asiatics were
10,495 in excess Of the British and
Dutch; and the colored races, all
told, spelt the enormous total Of l.
OIL ,645 to the 97,109 whites, or con-
siderably more than ten to one.
In the Cape Colony the census fig
ures show 579,741 whites, 1,sO3,4
natives, and 26,632 colored; the Tran
vaal (including Swaziland), 300,225
whites, 1,03O,029 natives, and 23,94G
"others;" the Orange River Colony,
143,14 whites, and 241, ,646 natives

JAMES w. MCCARTHY,
President Board of Aldermen.
The following communication was pre-

Jersey City, n j., Feb s. 1906.
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen.
Jersey iCty, n. IT,
Gentlemen-On january first of this
year $4,000 of assessment bonds of the
city, heretofore issued under the provis-
ions of an act Of the Legislature entitled.
An act to re-organize the local govern
ment of Jersey City," passed March 81.
1871, became due and PAYABLE On Jam
uary Bird of this wear $4,000 worth OF
bonds, general bonds Of Jersey iCty,"
heretofore issued under the same statu-
tory authority became due and payable;
and on January Bird. 1906. $4,000 worth
of Jersey City Water Scrip, issued un-
der the same statutory authority, became
due and payable.
No provision had heretofore been made
for the redemption of sand bonds. so that
it became then and there necessary for
the city to issue new bonds in place OF
those maturing.
On March 9Th, 1905. an act was passed
by the Legislature entitled, An act to
authorize cities in this State to issue and
dispose Of bonds to take up and pay off
which nj fRhds 8avs9 BBeen otherwise Sc pro- 5ss
@ Under dRaHa by Eaf,tls 4EafFtues Of this act. the
Board Of Finance by resolutions adopted.
at the meetings of November 22nd and
28th, 1905 made provision FOR the issue
of new bonds. in artler to take MI those
maBuring; and in pursuance of the reso-
lutions adopted. the bond issues provided
for We're sold to Proyident Institution for
Savings of Jersey City and the First l,a-
tional Bank Of Jersey City, the amount
Of their bid therefor being 1O0.45 and
100 Al and accrued interest.
The bonds were prepared and ready for
delivery when the purchasers. through
their attorneys, Messrs. Hartshorne. ms
ley and Leake raised tne contention that
under the act OF 1905 question present
ed itself as to whether or not the form
of the bonds to be issued should not be
approved by the Board of Aldermen.
The act under which the bond sale was
held was apparently drawn for applica-
tion to the city Of Newark, and there is
