Ltngoagt Difficulties Thatt Beaet the People Who start Up Wew Colonies. There is no question in South Africa of suppression of the language of the people. The language of the Boer people of South Africa is a patois called Taal, based on the seventeenth century Holland Dutch, with a mix; ture of many strange words, Kaffir and English, and with the omission of most grammatical inflections. In that happy tongue you are permitted to say "I is." It is needless to say there is no literature in this patois, as there is in Hollander Dutch of this century. The official recognition of Hollander Dutch dates from 1882 in the Cape Colony, and is a result of a political propaganda of the Afrikan der Bund, says the Pall Mall Gazette. It was openly announced and hailed as the "thin end of the wedge" to .prevent the fusion of the Boer and British strains of the European people, and to driv-e the British into the sea. The veld Boer does not understand Hollander Dutch; he dislikes the Hol lander outlandr only a degree less than the British outlander, or than the French, Italian, German or any other on i lander. He only hears the Hol lander tongue, or, rather, the seven- te nth-century predecessor or it, in the text from the .seventeeth-century Dutch Bible read out in the churches on Sundays by the predikant. or in the h.vinns chanted by hisathers of the In v lands, who worsted Alva, prose C'.Krir of the saints of the Lord. A very minute proportion of tbe Bi ers have any business to transact in the law courts or public offices, un le s such as are f ully acquainted with English. For a generation before Ma- juba hill the Boers, desiring to give their children a fair start in their business dealings with the business people of the towns, had their chil dren taught English. The English governess was an institution among Boers of any position. At the present moment there are none of the Boer leaders who cannot speak English; there are many, of course, who will not. After so many years of active Pol(lt:ca P"PP"? the Hollander Dutch language, in the .year before the war in Pretoria there were only five per cent, of the cases in the law courts between non-English-speaking people All business transactions were conducted in English; sales and mortgages of farms, sales of mining options, dealings in stocks and shares, purchases in shops of imported goods sales in the-market squares of agri cultural produce. Every Boer profes sional man, every Boer politician, had as a necessity of life, to be acquainted with English. Prise for Ugliest Girl. From Germany comes a story of novelty and charity. In the town of Haschmann prizes are offered year ly for men wno will marry the uglies or most crippled women and: also worn en over 40 who have been jilted as least twice. The money for the prizes wa left by a rich financier, who provided that out of the funds an income of not less .than $S0 should go to the ugliest girl and $60 to a cripple.

L9ndon.N Aug. 3. Friends and relatives of Mrs. Florence Maybrick will be shocked to learn that while they are d ily awaiting her airivtlj n the United states ehe is still in Fraoce and in a condition more pit- 1 iable than has ever been imagined. Mrs. Maybrick is ijow with her mother, Baroness D. Rcques, in Ru- en, i ranoe. It ca a be stated on ab solute authority tbat -her long im prisonment has now effected her mind. She is guarded ; from the public gaze with the utmost care, net even the seivants of the house being allowed to see her. But it is known-beyond a duubt that she is eo mentally prostrated that her mother feels the greatest alarm con cerning her. Indeed, it is extreme ly doubtful wheyier she will ever recover. The long strain of imprisonment, counled with the nervous tension due to her knowledge that her friends were working ia her behalf, proved in the end too much for her to bear, and when at latt, after years of waiting and suffering, she It arned she was again to become a free woman, the shock proved too much, and she collapsed, both men tally and physically. Baroness de Koques, who has sac- rihced ber hie and her fortune to tbe object of securing the release of her daughter, is terribly affected The physical and mental wreck that has been handed over to her by tbe British Home Office is not her daughter of olden days, but a poor, shattered, fragile creature, with all trace of humanity stamped out. Tbe baroness has bad two expert alienists in attendance. They have expressed the fixed opinion that Mrs. Maybrick must ba taken to an asylum for the insane before she can recover. Even then tbey ex press doubt as to the outcome. The woman has no delusions seemingly, but she is absolutely dazedand pas sive. Her appearance is pitiable in the extreme. There are times when ehe does not recognize even her mother, and it is impossible to arouse her to ac tion. She takes not 'the slightest intereet in her surroundings. She has been buried from the world so long that sbe has forgotten all about it, and looks around as one in a dream. All of ber American plans are upset. There is no hope of the un fortunate woman being taken across the ocean in tbe near future, if ever. C. H. Newth, Physician and Surgeon Philomath, Oregon.
