Going out to See a Man. One night in the winter of 1865,. Arteinus Ward lectured at Lincoln 11 all, in Weshingtou, and when the great humorist was about half through his discourse, he paralyzed the audi- mice with the announcement that they would have to take a reoess of fifteen minutes so as to enable him to go across the street to 'see a mien,' H.R.Tracy, theti.editor of the Washington liepub • lican, was in the audience, and seeing an opportunity to improve upon the joke, pencilled the fo,lowing lines and .sent them to the platform : 'Dear Arteirins—le you will place yourself under my guidance, I'll take you to "see a man" without crossing the street.' Artenius accepted the invitation, and while the great audience impa- tiently, hot with much amusement, awaited the reappearance of the hu - 'v morist, the latter was making the acquaintance of Amen and luximating at a well laden refreshment board. Of Connie, everybody 'caught on to' the phrase, and men became fond of getting up between the acts and going out to 'see Ainan.' The restaurer's business from this thine forward boomed. Men- who would ordinarily Sit quietly through an entertainment and behave them• selvea, allowed themselves to be in- fluenced by contagion. Jewels of Thong*.

Q, P0is5021, a young Californian, who recently returned from a threeyears' experience in the South African gold fields, gives an. interesting account of that part of the world. Ir. Poisson was mining in southern California, when his attention was directed to some discover. les in South Africa, and he was one of the first to explore the new Ends. Reach. Ing there he found himself in a strange land and among, dr him, strange people. johannesberg, the chief town of the new mining district, is situated in the Trans- vaal and now contains a population of 15,000, although only in the third year sf its existence, The population com- prises Dutch and English, with large numbers of Kaffirs, who are the laborers and miners of the country. The mines are around the city, easily accessible, and are worked generally by shafts sunk on the "eeefs," as the ledges are there sailed, The gold is found in a pure state, without any combination, and is easily worked in proper stamp mills. The claims allowed to be taken up are 150x400 feet, and there seems to be no limit to the number of "farms" which mob one may claim. Upon a very elab, orate map of the district in Mr. Poisson's possession. there are thousands of desig- nated claims, and the country is appar- ently taken up for miles in every direc- tion. In this respect the South Africans seem not a whit behind the American prospector and miner, But the names given to the claims are jawbreakers to new comers of American extraction, though no doubt they sound musical and harmonious enough to South African ears. Take such as these, selected at haphazard from &thousand others: Wit- watersrand, Lobengula, Klerksdorp,Wit- poorje, Portschefstroom, or Zontpaus- berg. These are easily pronounceable compared with others, comprehensible only to the native Dutch. There are now in operation in the dis- trict stamp mills aggregating one thou - and stamps, and before the year is out ;hese will be increased 50 per cent. The 3rst stamp mills erected were primitive and hardly equal to the crushing of the hard ore. Within twelve months, how- ever, an American machinery firm, whose headquarters are in Chicago, sent outagents to such good purpose that nearly all the mills now In course of construction, and many recently ,con- structed, are all of the latest improved California pattern. Americans are quite scarce in the Transvaal, and experienced. mine managers can command high sal- aries; so with competent miners, who must .so.oner or later be substituted for the Kaffirs who are now relied upon to do the work. Their labor is unsatisfac- tory, and in the end expensive. Mine promotors are very numerous, and Johannesberg's finest edifice is the Stock Exchange, where shares are dealt in, combinations made, and trusts will soon • be organized. There are good mines and bad mines listed, and the wildcat is just as prolific in South Africa, as in Ne- vada or Colorado. Everybody in and around Johannesberg seems busy, and there is plenty of money in circulation. It reminds Mr. Poisson of the early days of California and Nevada, with the Kaffir element as a strange background. Johannesberg draws its supplies at ptysent from Cape Town, but the Dela- goa Bay railway, of 'which so much has been heard of late, threatens seriously to rival the English. colony. From Cape Town the hunter of gold has an easy time traveling to Kimberley, where are located the celebrated diamond fields, for it is all rail -050 miles. From Kim- berley to . Johannesberg is 208 miles, which must be traveled by stage, in a bullock cart, or on horseback. So ex- tensive is the travel that seats in the coaches are secured weeks ahead.. From Delagoa Bay the distance is much shorter, and it is .a question which rail- road will be completed. Snit. From London to Cape Town 185,050 miles, and the entire, distance front London to the gold fields is completed within thirty- two days. Nearly all the freight trans- portation is by bullock 'teams, necessa- rily ,slow, but not expensive. The mines are at a high ()filiation, but the climate is temperate, and there is very little sickneee, except What results from undue exposure.
