Thenceforward that company. and many other companies. insisted on all subordinates taking holidays, and their books were then thoroughly overhauled by competent accountants.

The Transvaal (South Africa) Argus of the 6th of August contains a long account of a ceremony which took place on the 3rd in Pretoria. A number of Englishmen there had decided to “ commit to the earth the emblem of their country’s greatness.” This was regarded as “a solemn and emphatic protest against the treatment which British subjects and the British flag has received at the hands of the British Government.” The funeral was arranged to take place as nearly as possible at the time when it was expected that the convention would be signed. A vehicle draped with black was provided, drawn by two horses clothed in sables. Inside the carriage a raised platform was placed to receive the coffin. upon the lid of which the’ following inscription was placed: “ In loving mem- ory of the British flag in the Transvaal, who departed this life on tbe2nd of August. 1881, in her 5th year. ‘In other climes none knew thee but to love thee.’ Resur- gam." The coflin which contained the flagi was placed upon the platform .provided‘ amid the deepest silence and the uncovered heads of the pie assem. bled. About 350 w its people bled. About 350 white people followed the hearse. and a large number of Kaflir chiefs and their retinue fell in. mak- ing the total number about‘600 in the pro. cession. On arrival at the grave the ooflin was taken from the hearse and lowered into the place prepared for it " with the greatest reverence and decorum.” and an oration was delivered referring to the glories associated with the British flag for 1,000 yearsâ€"a flag “ now laid low in the dust. wounded to the heart by an unkind thrust. shorn of a portion of her honor.” At the head of the grave was placed a tombstone bearing the same inscription as that On the commâ€"Pall Mall Gazette.

He had. he said, agreed to assume the guardianship of the child and see to its religious training. while on the other hand the captor of the child threatened to alienate it from its people. The woman was then made to take the stand, which she did,_still clutching the child: ‘ The women pondered a. moment, then eulkily answered “ No." " \Vhy ?" asked Hie Honor. “ Because." said the women. “ she owes me money." them the San Ptaneleeo Call.)

Tlie bystanders were horrified at the attempt of the woman to hold the child for a debt against a dying woman, especially after she had eued and been beaten in the courts; and more especially at the hardâ€" heartedness displayed. The Judge made out an order to deliver the child into the Rabbi’s custody, and when she understood that her sweet revenge was balked she became} fury, " And won’t. anybody pay me? " she shrieked. Then she moaned out, " 0h. isn’t. this hard, to take the brat from me and not pay be any money ?"
