AFllAID OF DI'LLKH. An Incident In HMith Africa In 1S79 That ftemt Uin Charaow, London New. In one of hla Mtr ami horn frrsin Houth Africa In 1H7SP Mr. Forty tell a story that will be read with Interest Jut now. A young KcMfllahman of go1 fnrrlly had tn app4nted to a cminilaalun In thu Fnmtbrr Light 'ft re under CiAmwI Ituller'a cmnmand, but bad turnd cait'a tuWme cbarai- br. It was all thai he ha I become aub-ct to fit And oocaslcanally gave way to drink. . "Iaxpi tilght bc-fix-w llghta w-rv out," said Mr. Forbea, "I h-nrd him wu Ing to hlnutelf In a very excited way about c,nie grievance In the way of extra duty ahl. h he fancied If had.

Major 'rg wa equel to the occasion. He had the tent r .pea looa.-d. and down cam- the tent on Its ob'r-TTius Inmate, (f.-clually bonneting him. He wa at once aviz-rd, bound, and under guard, cmv-yed into the artillery camp, where he waa made fut to a gun ft-fceH. a blanket given him and he wa secured from further mischief.

He oxwlooked the young fel low's piwlou backsliding, and had saved hi life at Zlobane. He had his prayer. This morning his accounts were male up. The money due him waa paid; General Ward, In a word, dismissed him from his force, with the t?rn warning that If he came back he should be dogged as an ur.au thoriaed camp follower. He wa set on his pony, and es;uned by un officer and a file of men to the other aide of the UIo.kI river, and there turned adrift on the world. "Buller." write Mr. Forbea In an other cummunicatl'.p.

UOElt WOMEN AND THE WAR. j A Theory That They Are Jeuloua of th? English as Eligible Suitors. Pall Mall Gazette. .! hn Redmj.td Is .if the opinion that the present Boer war is due to the machinations of Mr. Chamberlain and others; but, according to the NatAl press, Mrs. Por is larjely responsible for ths belllcoe attitude of her hus band. She is nothing more or less than a bucolic counterpart of Dido, Jealous of the Englishman, whom she wishes for a husband for her daugh ter. That is the Ideal of her life, so seldom realized, for her daughters are many, and eligible Englishmen are few and far between. Many Boer girl are educated In the English colonies, and return with a refinement quite out of harmony with their rustic surround ings. They won't marry their unkempt kinsmen, and the young Englishman Is a rara avis; so this in time generates bitter hatred of '.heir more favored sisters anJ of the English race In gen eral. I Apart from the light side of this the ory, any one who knows the domestic life of the Boer can vouch for its ac curacy. Wh.n he passions of the coarsest and moot Ignorant of their ' number are arroused It Is truely a I case of "fureia quid foemlna possit" ' their husbands are harmless and mild In comparison. Mrs. Roer is even more Isolated from luxWn civilization than her husband, and rarely rube shoulders with the "yerdomde" Eng lishman. In most cases the paterfam ilias and the family are completely tind'r her thumb, nnd it is not too much t sty that the energy now dis played by the Boer forces Is In great measure due to feminine promptings.
