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 SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD KW*.
4.0 AmoViion'o Diseowtries IX the, Newly
Piro:doped District.
E. 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. There is scarcely
any snow in winter.—Now 'Fork Sun.
