Some time ago we published an in•
teresting letter on this subject from Mr
Geo. Beats, brother of Mr John Bean,
Clinton, and we have pleasure in
giving extraots from another one, re-
cently received. It gives a lot of infor-
mation concerning that far off land,
and is as follows:
PnusxtL RAILROAD STATION, Oct. 29, 89.
This plaoe is about 28 miles from
Sorenzo Marquis (the name of the Por-
tugese town built on Delgoa Bay) the
town is built a little distance from the
bay, near the mouth of a river called by
the Portugese, Rio-de-Esperito-Santo,
but the English and all foreigners call
it the English River. I have been rest-
ing my oxen for the last six weeks at
this place, and the oxen that are not
sick, have picked up well. Four of my
oxen have died this wiuter up to the
preseut, and I have still got three sick.
I cannot buy any kiud of an ox under
£10, at present. This winter I had an
ox caught by a crocodile; he got the ox
down, but luckily did not manage to
throw him into the water, so, after
struggling for sometime, the ox got
away from him, but he left his tail be-
hind, and I have still got it. The
crocodile was evidently disgusted with
the success he had, so he disdainfully
dropped the tail on the sand. However,
the poor ox died, and he .vas the best
front ox that I ever owned. It is a dif-
ficult thing to get a good, steady pulling,
front ox, that will keep the chain stiff
in front of a span of 16 or 18 oxen, and
climbing out of some of the mountains,
where we have to take loads, we put as
many as 50 oxen in front of a waggon,
and then can only manage to get up
with 20 cwt. or 30 cwt. at a time. Our
usual load is 60 cwt. to 70 cwt, Some-
times, in pulling out of mud holes I
have seen us put on six span of oxen,
with sixteen oxen to the span, then we
put three double spans abreast. '!'here
is a place just above Pietermantzburg
called Reit bley (read swamp, in Eng-
lish) and in wet seasons it gets worked
up into a tremendous quagmire. In
my previous letters I have attempted
to give you a description of this part of
Africa. An immense extentjof the east-
ern coast of Africa, north of Natal, is
very fiat, and the soil over large tracts
of it consists of white sand, exactly like
you get on the sea beach, and a loaded
waggon sinks into it a foot deep and
more, and we have to put two span of
oxen to one waggon, the whole distance.
It is 25 miles across, on the old waggon
road, and where the railroad crosses it
there is fully 40 miles of this kind of
sand. For the last two seasons we
have loaded up at Noveni railway sta-
tion, 45 miles from Lorenzo Marquis,
and it saves the heavy drag through the
sand. These immense tracts of sand
are by no nieans desert in the general
acceptation of the term. A stranger
dragging along in a waggon sinking
deep in the heavy white sand, with the
stunted bush on each side of the road,
would be very likely to describe it as a
perfect desert, while a "transport rider"
looks on it as a perfect winter paradise
for his poor oxen. It is covered with a
good sprinkling of bush, about as large
as orchard trees, and there is also, quite
a number of immense round headed
trees. Under this bush and large trees
grows a kind of grass called by the
English "Guineau grass," and by the
Dutch, "Buffalo grass," it keeps as
green as possible all winter, and is the
beet fattening grass that I know of; it
looks very much like green barley or
oats. When I came down to Noveni
this winter, I had four oxen that had
been sick, and were just skin and bone,
in fact, every morning I was afraid
some of them would not get up. I sent
them down to the sand, and in two
months they were fat enough for the
butcher. One of the common big trees
in this part of the world is the syca-
more fig, the same kind that Zaccheus
climbed into. It is s noble, massive,
and very ornamental tree. It grows to
be ten or twelve feet in diameter, but
branches out at about ten feet from the
ground. They hear immense quantities
of figs, just like ordinary figs in size and
appearance, but are very inferior to
them in quality. Another tree that is
exceedingly plentiful is the fan palm.
The natives tap it, or, rather, they cut
the top off, and as the sap is very sweet,
the natives ferment it and make it into
palm wine, and, as a natural conse-
quence, they are the most drunken and
demoralized of any Kaffir tribe that I
have come in contact with; they are
called the Amatongas. There are still
a few buck knocking about, Talbot and
I have shot five each this winter, and
every one of them we saw from the
waggon road, as we were trucking along.
I never go out looking for the bucks
any more; I am so troubled with nerv-
ous palpitation of the heart, that walk-
ing in the hot country always brings it
on, and then I am so nervous that I
could hardly hit a factory, unless I was
to get inside and shut the door. A day
or two ago a troop, of Wildebeests (Gnus)
came past the waggons, and stood look-
ing at them from a distance of about
800 yards; I had a shot at them, but
missed. I have been one of tho unlucky
ones in 'losing oxen on the Delgoa road,
by sickness, but so far I have been
lucky with lions. Last, winter I out -
spanned with, Franklin, 'and we 6aeg,�
lected to build fires, and the lions came
in the dark and killed two of Franklin's
oxen. This winter we out -spanned one
night at 10 o'clock, at a place called
Str.ltz Veck, where we had never found
limns previously; a Lutchman by the
name of Vanyeatvalt was outspanned a
couple of hundred yards farther on, and
just before we got there lions bad caught
one of his oxen, about two hundred
yards below the road from where we
ontspanned. It was very dark, and we
knew nothing about the lions, so we
loosed the oxen, and drove them direct
to where the lions were eating VanNeat.
valt's ox. When the oxen got neap the
lions they bolted to the left, and the
Kaffirs cleared back to the waggons.
There were several parties outspanned
close about, and several hundred cattle
running loose in the veldt. There were
six lions, and they managed to kill
eleven oxen amongst them, six belonged
to a man named Daniels, who is a crip-
ple from being nearly killed by a lion-
ess, on this road, three years since.
Next morning I was very thankful,
when the Kaffirs brought the oxen, t�
find there were none of mine missing.
They shot one lion only, but he was a
very large old fellow. When we Dame
down again we outapanned near the
place where the lions caught Franklin's
oxen last winter. We had a troop of
lions bellowing about our waggons all
night, but we had good fires on, and we
never went to bed all night, but kept
the fires up. We inepanned at 3.30
o'clock next morning, and the lions
kept roaring in the bush alongside of
us for a couple of miles, and then left
us. The same trip, when we got to a
sprint called Macguacgnan, about ton
miles from Nevem, and a place nt where
we have let our oxen run at night for
a week at a time some years. we let our
oxen run loose all night, and next morn-
ing I saw them mixed with Meikle's
cattle. We inspannod early, and left
Meikle behind. When Meikle'a boys
thewaggons,
were drivingtheir oxen to
fag
rushed ut
to dnspan, an immense lion0
of some thick bush, and downed an ox;
the doge barked at him, and the Kaffirs
shouted, so he left that one and ran an -
1
Other ono flown; they, 'drove bine from
that one, and be rax, and collared a
third and downed him Wilde had got
there with hie rifle, bat the lion ()leered
off into the thiols thorns, and escaped.
Two of the oxen never got up again,
and the third only lived two days.
TWA, season has not been very good
with our waggons, loading has been
very scarce; after off-loading at Barber-
ton, we had to lvait five weeks, with
our oxen in good condition, but we have
not been able to get full loads, and will
only make three trips, and the rates
have not been very good.
This has been the most unhealthy
winter I have ever experienced on the
Delgoa Bay Road, I think fully three-
quarters of the waggon Kaffir's have had
fever.
Although I am writing this, I have no
idea where I will be able to post it, as
there is no post office at Noveni, and I
am not going into Delgoa again. We
have been having some very hot wea-
ther lately, the butter has been just
like oil, quite clear and transparent.
It is much cooler in Delgoa than sixty
miles inland. I was speaking to a Hol-
lander, who was on the railroad exten-
sion works, at the Comatie, last sum-
mer, and he says that for days iu suc-
cession the thermometer goes up to
120 0 in the shade. I remember once it
being 109 0 in the shade, whilst I was
living in Putermaritzburg. I think
South Africa, on the whole, has a much
superior climate to what you have in
America, but for fertility of soil, na-
tural productiveness, and capabilities of
supporting a large civilized population,
you are infinitely ahead of this country,
and Australia, although it grows some
of the finest wheat, and some portions
of it are unsurpassed in fertility by any
country in the world, yet, on the whole,
it is not equal in produotivenese to
America. I don't know if you have
read Froude's Oceania, in that book he
is altogether wrong about the fertility
of South Africa. Natal grows auger,
fine pine apples, bananas, oranges, ap-
ricots, peaches, nectarines, grapes, ap-
ples, potatoes, indian corn and wheat,
by irrigating in the winter, but then
there is no extent of suitable land, and
Natal is not a first class'stock country.
There is no part of South Africa any-
thing like as good for sheep and cattle
and horses as Australia. In your letter
you brag of your public debt of seventy
millions sterling,, with a population of
I suppose about 5,000,000, but here in
Africa we can easily beat you in this
respect. Cape Colony, in 1885, with a
white population of 340,000, had a pub-
lic debt of £20,417,227 stirling, and lit-
tle Natal, in 1885, with a white popula-
tion of 386, 701, had a debt of £3,762,060,
and still borrowing. There is great
rivalry between the Cape and Natal,
to get the trade of the interior. Natal
has the advantage geographically, but
the Cape has been building railways to
gain the advantage, and Natal has been
compelled to do the same, which is the
cause of the greater part of the debt.
Now there is another rival in the field:
they are building a railway from Del-
goa to Pretoria, and when finished it
will be the nearest port to Pretoria.
A LADY'S WISDOM.
"'i'0 BE IMITATED IS. THE SUREST PROOF OF
SUCCESS. "
One of our best known dressmakers
says that not until she sees her cos-
tumes imitated is she sure that they
are a success. And this is true in
everything,
A notable instance is seen in Mon-
treal, A few years ago a firm con-
ceived the idea of selling dyes in small
packages with full directions for use.
This was such a convenience that an
enormous sale soon sprang up, and
the business grew so largly that it was
neccessary to erece an immense factory
containing some thirty thoudand
square feet of floor space.
What was the result of this wonder-
ful success? As soon as it was seen
that Diamond Dies were something the
people wanted, and standard articles
of household use, imitators commen-
ced putting up package dyes, and copied
the style of envelope, the advertising,
sample cards, cabinet, etc. By offering
their crude and adulterated dyes to
druggists and merchants at a less price
they induced some dealers to purchase
a stock ; but if a lady used any of these
imitations she found that they crocked
and faded badly, and she would gener-
ally be obliged to boil ont the coiors
and re -dye them with the Diamond.
Don't be deceived by imitators.
"The orginal is always the beat" holds
good in everything, and is just as true
of any article always has facilities and
experience and are not, and cannot be
prossessed by imitators.
This, from the Stratford Herald, is
not very flattering to Mr Rykert, but it
is a frank admission from a Conserva-
tive journal, and shows that that party
is getting sick of a man whose record
for years has been questionable:
C. Rykert, M. P. for Lincoln, is
cry ching it from part of the Conserva-
tfve, as well as from the Reform press.
The St. Thomas Times (Conservative)
has reach8ii, the conclusion that he has
furnished "abundant testimony, over
his own signature, of his utter unfitness
to occupy a seat in Parliament,"his con-
duct having "forever discounted his re-
putation and usefulness:" "The best
thing he can do for his own peace and
the credit of the Dominion is to depart
into private obscurity." . The•language
of the Times is none too strong. Their
is no mousing Rykert's conduct in vio-
lating the confidence of the public and
using a position of trust to advance his
personal ends. His conduct, which
might have been excused in a private
citizen, is simply abominable in a mem•
bar of Parliament. The Conservative
party should decline to shoulder Rykert
and his iniquities."
SHALL WOMEN BE AL-
LOWED TO VOTE ?
The question of female suffrage
has agitated tho tongues and pens
of Reformers for many years
and good arguments have been
adduced for and against it. Many
of the softer sex'
(,cold veto intoi-
ligently, and many would vote as
their husbands did, and give no
thought to tho merits of a politi-
cal issue. They would vote for

"Ayer's Hair Vigor is the most
exce,lent preparation for the hair.
I speak from experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new
hair, and make it glossy and soft.
The Vigor is a sure cure for dan-
druff."—J. W. Bowen, Editor En-
quirer, McArthur, Ohio.
A correspondent of the . Stratford
Beacon is responsible for the following:
"Twelve years ago when the Conser-
vative party assumed the reins of power,
they promised to make this land flow
with milk and honey.' Villages were to
become cities, and all were to humlwith
the noise of busy industries. Markets
and high prices for everything were to
be provided for the farmers at their
very doors, and everybody was to be
made rich, contented and happy. Alas!
this glowing picture has not been real -
ized, but the very opposite has taken
place. Farmers and others who were
then rich have become comparatively
poor on account of the 'great depreci-
ation that has taken place in the value
of their property. Tho people's burd-
ens havd since been nearly doubled,
while their money earning powers have
been reduced one-half. It is not to be
wondered at then that the cry or dis-
tress is heard over the length and
breadth of the land, and that either
poorhouses or better riarkets are so
badly wanted,

hard to keep its head above water, but
failed. The fact is Stratford had too
many papers. When a city or town is
placed in that position, something has

o'clock, smokivg a pipe; the lights were
out and the night was very dark. A
man had brought in a load of wood
during the afternoon and piled it up at
the foot of the outside stairs unknown
to Armstrong, which he ran against
with so much force as to drive the pipe
stem into the roof of his mouth with
such force as to require all his strength
to pull it out. He suffered consider-

anticipated.
