NEW CHIEF OF THE BUERS BOTHA ACHiEvEs FORESEEN FOR HIM. ,Youihfnl, Intelligent. “'enllhy and Pro- gressive â€"lle Opposes Many of the Ideas of Kruger and "is Followers. The untimely death of General Jou- bert has brought to the front one of the most remarkable of the young- .er Afrikanders, Loruis Botha. He was but 36 years of age, when he was sud- denly called upon to take supreme commznd of the Federal forces in South Africa._ The nomination was made in the first instance by ihelate General Joubert himself. It was conâ€" firmed by President Kruger, and en- thusiastically approved by the burgh- ers in arms. No instance of such rapid promotion has ever occurred in mod- ern times. When the war broke out he was a simple commandant. General Joubert’s temporary inidisposition ‘placed him in command at the battlel of Colenso. Then President Kruger sent him to supersede President Schalk-Burgher and Cronje, at SpiZon Kop March 6. Art the council of war at Biggars-berg he was appoin tenant General of the forces in New; tel, and at the end of the month he Succeeded General Joubert. N0 JEALOUszY FOR HIM. Rapid as was his promotion it has excited no heartburnings, nor have lt'hose whom he has superseded re- frained from enthusiastically approv- ing his selection for the supreme comâ€": mand. Louis 30th:]. was born under the British flag, The Bothas are an old Natal family, and Louis saw the light of the world at Greytown, Na- tal, in 1864, When but a. boy he, left Natal. and settled in the Free State. He was from, his youth, a. lad of met- tle, restless, pushing and energetic. When, therefore, the Boer filibusters, or emigrants from the Transvaal, went forth to help Diinizulu and set-. tied that part of Zululand which was called the New Republic, and after- 'ward became an integral part of the Transvaal Republic, Louis Both-a, a mere youth, went also. He was one of the early pioneers who took up farms in the newly acquired territory. There, close to the Swazi frontier. sane 85 mile northeast from Vryheid, he has built his beautiful homestead and laid out his estate. He lived there rather in a style of an opulent Eng- lish Squire than a Boer herdsman. Louis Bothn speaks English fluent- ly. He has a strong predilection for the Irish, and married a beautiful Irish lady, stately in appearance and Botha was a Miss Emmet,.’l."he Botha very charming of disposition. Mrs. homestead could compare very favor- ably tractive in appearance, the park laid out in English style. It is altogether a superior home.

Anecdotes of Colonel Eye. Colonel Ege was a famous character in the early days. Although living in Doniphan county, he was often in Atch- ison, followed by a pack â€"of‘hounds. He was a high toned southern gentle- man, with a kind heart. One day while returning home from , this city he came across. a man whose l wagon was stuck in the mud in Inde- lpendence creek bottom. Colonel Ego i at once started in to help the man pry 5 out his wagon with a fence rail. lWhile both were working away Ego became angry and yelled to the man, “Lift. you son of a gun; you are not lifting a pound.” The man picked up i the end gate of the wagon and split it lover Ege’s head, laying him up for , three weeks. Ege had his hat off when 2 he was struck and was so bald before 5 coming to Kansas that he was known l as the Bald Eagle of Maryland. i Ege always carried a pistol and was ialways trying to shoot through some- lbodv's but without hitting him. One ' day, at the. Independence creek ferry, l he shot at a man, but aimed a little low and creased him. But Ege was always a gentleman; he took the man into his home and tenderly cared for , him until. he recovered.-Atchison Globe. Spanish Proverbs. Proverbs uncomplimentary to the - fair sex are common in Spain. “A wo- lman, like a pavement, should be well trampled on to be kept in order," “A woman is like a candle, Twist her neck if you wish her to be good;” ‘fBe- were of a bad woiiian. and do not trust a good one;” “Crying in a woman and limping in a dog is all a sham:” “A cock crows on his own dunghiil. but hens cackle everywhere” (this in refer- ence to the supposed garrulousness and inquisitivedisposition of the sex); ‘ and i will show you a Woman without a fault." in English counterparts are not wanting, for example: I | i A woman, a dog and a walnut tree- The more you beat them the better they be.

Here he lived a quiet life, taking, however, his full share in the Governâ€"- ment. He was a member of the Volks- raad, and belonged to the progressive party, in common with General Jouâ€" bert. He was a strong opponent_ of monopolies and dynamite concessmn, of which 00in Paul was the stanchest supporter. He seldom spoke in the Assembly, but when he did he spoke, to the point, and earned the soubi‘i- quot of ” The W'ise in Council." He had his baptism of fire as .a young officer unit-er Lucas Meyer. in the war against Dinizulu’s enemies. Ever since he has been a marked man De Villebo'is-Mareuil was an ardent admirer of Bothia, and many a time expressed the belief in his irresistible courage and sagaciiy. The army chap~ lain whom Sir Charles \Varren sent to bury the English dead after the; battle at Spi'on Kop described himas‘ vehement, full of fiery indignationi against the English, resolute but not! disinclined to listen to commonsense; He is very unassuming in his looks} He seems just what he is,â€"a hardy.‘ strong-minded, well-built and shrewd son of the soil. The audacious taciicsl of the Boers during the recent woe-ka are to be attributed to his guidance} solely, as he is the ideal leader for: a guerrilla warfare carried on by; means of swift, harassing movemenlsj The Boers look up io him already with; the same confidence which they hes: stowed upon ‘Joubert, and the tein-. porary discouragements have: given: way to confidence and renewed spirit; .__.._.+..â€"_.._.... A FACE SHAMPOO. Perhaps every one is not aware of the quite magical effect of a face shampoo when tired out. Its refresh- lug powers are so great that the lit- tle trouble involved isnot worth con- .sidering. Wet a sponge in soft. hot water. Put on it a little good soap and a few drops of glyceriue. Lather the face thoroughly with the rinse, and rub the skin with almond meal till it is quite dry. \Vash the meal off with fresh hot water, then spray or sponge the face with cold water till the flesh feels nice and firm. This closes the pores. Dry gently with a soft towel and .powderiivglitly with pure E‘ulier's earth. I tones that it has come.

A poor woman. got on a Twenty-third street crosetown car at Fourth avenue. and as it was well under way and she was about to hand her fate to the conductor she asked him if he transferred to Sixth avenue. On being told no, she drew back her 5 cents and asked to be let off. “I’ve a long ways to go on Sixth avenue,” she said, “and I'd better walk to there and then ride." The car then had reached Madison avenue. “Wait till we get across the street,” answered the conductor. She waited. and instead of stopping there he let the car go on, past the transfer station and across Broadway to Sixth avenue. There he pulled the bell and looked at her. “Thank you,” she said gratefully. He had carried her within a block of where she wanted to go and had taken no fare.-'â€"â€"New York Telegram.
