Can we hope- for such a. business-like and expeditious . man agement on .the part of the cumber some federal machinery? . ;',. . ' There Is too much laxity and .lazi ness among the federal departmental officials "and clerks. This '. well , Illus trated in the case of the Salem post of fice building matter. It will soon be. 'a year since the law was passed, 'and half the appropriation was made avail able. So far, there is no Information that the title to the site has been ac cepted as satisfactory. Then the sup ervising architect will have to go through' a' long coarse of incubation,' and, after all that, the various other departments will take their tedious turns. There Is too much civil service in j the federal business to much kill ing time. If the government business were transacted ' like the affairs of a private business concern, the ground would now be broken for the postoffice structure, and It woiId be pushed to completion during the favorable weath er oi the approaching dry season: If the- government's business were - con ducted in a business manner, half the men in the various departments could be dispensed with, and the expense could be reduced by half. ; But we can scarcely hope for such & transforma tion. In fact, the tendency Is Strongly In thV opposite direction--to wards shorter hours, more holidays and a greater amount of red-tape and per functory work.

Hon. Cecjl Rhodes. ; ' ! . - "It was on a Sunday afternoon, I remember, that we had pushed our way across a plain of Aigh Tamboke grass, when, in searching for some partridges I had brought down near, a clump of minora bushes, II found a prospect to which I at once called the attention of my companion. ' "On making a careful survey of the ground, seeing that it was ot a similar formation to that of Old Beers, I sat down and sorted out, some of the dirt, when, in less than five min utest I picked ojut as many small dia monds. .

" . . : ."Popham and Rhodes got away In less than two" hours, and I fully In tended, to accompany them, but de ferred to. the wishes of my partner, to remain with him at Old De Beers; pending on ,-four Kaffir Zulus, however, to help stake out 'our claims. f , "It was but a few hours after, through the Instrumentality jbf the friend who I had taken with me en the hunting trip, that the news was spread abroad through ithe camp; arid I before 7 o'clock the next morning Old Ie Beers was deserted,, and in twenty four hours later there were from 3000 to 4000 men on the; ground on which now stands the city of Kimberiey. J'ln a few days the country all around that clump of mines, where I had shot the partridges, was staked out, and it was almost on that spot, right in the center of the crater of the extinct mud volcano,-now forming the celebrated - De Beers mine, . thait Pop ham, Herbert Rhodes and myself se- cured three of thej"best paying claims. "It was about five or six months af ter this, when we had all moved-to New Rush, that Cecil Rhodes, . the youngest brother, unexpectedly turned up sit the diggings. "Cecil .Rhodes was, both In appear ance and character, quite different to his brothers, being at that time tall and thin, darker "in complexion tha Frank Rhodes, but not so dark as He .bert. ; ; f., ;.v. '.. "His constitution appeared to .be very delicate, a.nd it was generally un derstood that he had come out more with the idea of building up his health than making" a, fortune. '. "He took up his abode in a tent close to my own, and i for some months, on account of the intimate relations ex isting between his brothers and myself, I saw a good deal of hlm; in fact,' din ing with the three almost every flight. "While, as I ; said before, Herbert and Frank Rhodes were open-hear tedj generous fellows, Cecil, on the other hand, was of an altogether different character, being very reserved and t hard to' draw out, . He was, at first. evidently not bubbling over with de light at all lief witnessed and heard In 'his new surroundings, taking rather unkindly to the situation which, did not tend to make him popular lnvthe camp, and even his brothers .seemed a 1 1 tie shy of his presence. . : On the morning of his arrival In camp Herbert Rhodes asked me to take his brother Cecil down' and show him over the claims,! where they were work ing from eighteen to twenty Zulus. To this request Li readily agreed, and while in the pit pitched out , a. -small diamond from the aide wall and hand ed It to him his first stone In South Africa. He was, however, very reti cent of all he saw, only remarking that he had no idea It was like this or; that, and apparently by no means enthusiastic over the 'prospect of be coming a diamond digger. .

CORN IN IirSTORT. ' The interest which the United States Is taking n making an Imterestlng corn exhibit In the Paris Exposition of 1900 Is chiefly, 'economic,- of course. c hs the most valuable of all the products of the' United States. It rep resents more money than any other one article produced in this country. More over, its lead is lengthening' instead of shortening. Corn crops' which piss the 2,000,000.000 bushel mark have grown common . In .recent years.. They will undoubtedly occur still oftener in the near future. It la to the interest of the country to popularize (bis article of food In the rest of the world to the greatest possible extent, i A writer in the St. Louis VGlobe-Dem-oerat says: "Corn' at one time . may be said to have figured in the political history of the United States Just as promEnently as, It now does In the oouu" e country's economic development. The earlier whit e; n?en on this continent re- cord their surprise, at the extent to whfch the Indians used this cereal as an article of food. "The length of , time which the red men could conduct cam paigns through the forests on a small supply of dried corn, whioli they would sometimes pound- into a meal with stones and eat raw, -and at other times bake Into a sort of bread, or roast, it on the ear. was a revelation to the Spari-- tarda, French ' and English visitors to the present territory . of the United States two or three centuries ago. The new comers, .howe'veis quickly adopted the usages of the aborigines . in this particular, and corn" Wa thus1 made to figure with a good dead of corisp,icuous- I ness In American history.
