Thirty Years " lurks.“ Afrlcamller Ma. jc-nly Que-cl 1'rntratt--ututoe" or [lol- lar.’ Worth " Mano-cl: Mlul for Thai- sand-A. Visitors to "Savage S-uth Africa," at Earl's Court Exhibition, are meet- ing the most interesting man in Eng- land, says a London letter. This is Mr. John Thorburn, win is full to the brim of properly authenticated adventures. Mr. Thorburn has passed the meri- dian of life. A little wiry man, with not an ounce of superfluous flesh on his bones, a face bronzed by 30 Afri- can summers, and partly hidden under a shock of whitening beard, Juhn Thorburn cuts a picturesque figure in his suit of prepared flax and large panealas-like hat. We now come to Mr. Thorburn’s prentwt exploit-one that deserves to lim in the annals of South African r',cvtlnlr.rtient. The Dark Continent hm been the scene of many great ao- hin‘r-xcmzts. but none illustratesmore qtrik‘ruly the Mark and determina- tio fur ' bir-h British pioneers are de- serudiy famed than the adventure “hi"h had this little Sootchman for hero liiu'lu'n 'v,tOrlir,hed himself as a trim»? on th" i"aal River, where he was funny vuvccssful, till one day the rixur rum- tntl swept his store away. Ru thruzht to turn the cause of his ile to c, tum success, and, as the suntan riser was then navigable for l u): .fismn‘m. he ordered from Eng- lad n ctowtr'rrrat 37 feet long and of is .V,re gnu-r. For some time the luv hr ‘ln'ht him in a goodly revenun, hut an masons sumac-dad, and the Van! Ssrattte unnavigabla. Thit umuld have been the and of th, clam-gr with must men: but not so with Jilin Thorburn. If the Vaal River was dry, there was still atidal river at Iteiagoa Boy, which was had- ly in want " n steamer, and Thorburn actually decided to drag the bopt across country, a distanm of L600 miles, a great part of which had never heen trmlden by white man he- fore. The journey occupied 14 months and the little hands of adventurers had to make their own roads. Mr. Thorburn was Accompanied by three white men, his log Jack, George Gray and Bill Davies. Hwy had the assistance of three natives. The boat was placed in a waggon drawn by 18 oxen. and its engines were disposed in a second Vehicle, which was hauled by ll bullr-cks. Mr. Thorburn speaks re- luchntly of the adventures and mite adventures which befell them in this In 1885 John Thorburn, his wife, and family were making a great trek across country from Lorenco Marques to the Transvaal. A succession of ditr. asters that would have discouraged anybody but a ticutchaian.-Mr. Thur- burn hails from tho land o' cakes-- culminated in the last of his oxen succumbing to the tetse fly, and the little band of travellers being left stranded in the boundless ocean of the African veldt. The plain before them was dotted with huts. TIIORBURN MEETS THE KING. Presently there approached a fine well set-up, dignified looking Swazi. "Malung, what hast thou in thy Waggonsl" spoke the new comer. "I have clothes for the body and food fur the stomach," replied the traveller, in the poetical language of the tribe. " I was journeying towards the setting sun, when the tetse fly slew my oxen. I would have assist- ttace-who are thou t" Darin: this time a son was born to Mr. Thorhurn, and he was christened Randini. short for Umbandine, the king. He is now known as the "white " thief of the Swazis' at Earl's Court. STEAM RRS OVERLAND VOYAGE The king made him many valuable Concessions. including cne plot of land 7.3 miles in circumference. That land teamed with precious minerals, and Mr. Thorburn saw himself immense- ly wealthy. After a time he came IO London fe the purpose of " floating" his concessions. In this dramatic fashion did Mr. Thurburn meet His Majesty King Um- bandine, and the king set great. store by the traveller, in that his waggons were loaded with gond things to eat and drink, and fine raiment, fitting for a chief of the Swazin. Mr. Thw- burn's three waggons were accumula- dated within the Royal Kmal itself; but the king took n 'thing without pay- ing full market price. His Majesty ask- ed the price of gin. " What funny malungas you are!" said the astonished chief, as he hand- ed the rejected coin to one of his in- dunas. Ho seemed to be overpowered by the white man's scrupulousness. Presently he enquired: " Can you read and write P' and pro- duced a letter from a person, asking the king to grant him part of Swazi- land. The upshot of it was that Mr. Thorburn received the appointment " adviser to Umbandine and remained resident. within the Royal Kranl for several years. He built stores and an hotel, and flcurished exceedingly. White men began to floek to Swaziland, and Mr. Throrburn's receipts averaged about £150 a day. - __ - The stranger threw back his shoul- ders and made a wide sweep with his arm, as he answered proudlr:-- " Three pounds a case," replied Mr. Thorburn. Umbandine generously gave him £4, but the trader prompt- ly returned the surplus. "I am Umbandine, King of Swazi- land, paramount chief of an the Swa- zis. There is my Embireleweni"--. pointing to a great cluster of huts in the distance. " You are welcome, ma- lung." The tact that a bridal party net-as- ionally goes to the altar ungloved must not mislead anyb dy into thinking that gtoveq are "guing out," as the. saying is. For all occasions of ceremony gloves are imperative as a part of full dress, and for moat unceremonious oceasions they are worn as a protoc- tion. A pretty hand is quite too pru- cial,' a possession to he sacrificed, and nothing ruins it so quickly as constant exporure to wind and sun. For sum- mer wear the English greatly affect fabric gloves. Many ol these of fin- est thread are too expendve to tind any sale here. Fm out-of-door sports the English always wear gloves, a special sort of ventilated golf glove be- ing universal. For shopping there his been a revival of the comfortable Biarritz or, sack glove, but cantor and chamois are still in great favor. For driving the gauntlet style is at pre- sent a great favorite, and for visit- ing the glove par excellence is undres- sed kid In the mousquetaire or clasp tstyles. Society with the big S. is Gimp y amused at the idea that a lady goes about ungloved at any time or oc- union. of the London Telegraph. The new Burgermeister has been acting as re- gistrar, thinking that the duties of that functionary devolved upon him exofficio. After having joined to- gether in civil wedlock some score of pairs, with all the parential advice usually imparted by a Teulon re. gistrar on such occasions, the authori- ties discovered that the Burgumeister had unwittingly committed an error, seeing that he was not ex-officio re- gistrar as well; so that the twenty marriages were illegal. All the cere- monies will have to be performed over again. It is to be hoped that none of the contracting parties will take ad- vantage of the situation to sever the knot they thought securely tied. Although during the years De Beer tended his farm, he literally walked on untold wealth, it never occurred to him to reap the rich harvest of pre- cious stone-s that lay at his feet. He was quite contunt to let his flock graze (-n the. lund. Nor, as he repeatedly told Mr. Thrrrbutm, (lid he regret dis- posing of it, for the, comparatively speaking, ridiculously small sum of $6,500. All he wanted was to he allow- ed to live a quietly, industrious life. His wish was granted, and he died a happy and contentwl man. A temporary cloud has just dark- ened the honeymoon of twenty newly married couples at Poelitz, a hamlet in Pomerania, says the correspondent ed out of shape, and six feet of the steel Plates were rent open. Thurburn Patched up the boat, and the journey was continued. LOYAL THOUGH BLACK. The Buffets Heights were negotiated, and the travellers trekked on to. the Dittin Kraal. Then a great digmtary came out to welcome them--noless Hans de Beer was a Dutch stark breeder, who was rather disgusted with tho noisy incursion of diamond seek- ers in the neighborhood of his farm, and he. determined to seek less lively rrus'ture.s. He agreed to sell his farm to Messrs. Duvell and Ebden, of Port Elizabeth. for the sum of 86.500; and so great was De Beer's anxiety to es- cape, from the babel ofstrange tongues that he refused to wait for his m0ner and it was [sent on after him. PURSUED BY FIRE. Once the veldt caught fire and pur- Sued them mile after mile, the flames roaring and hissing behind them like a great army of fiends. It seemed a Pertain death to ttll-a hideous linger- Ing death by fire and suffocation. The ltd oxen broke away, and the terri- titd natives were only too glad to 38128 the opportunity to run after them. The seething furnace crept Prarer-with a terrible roar, and hung!- ink, choking clouds of smoke " Ewept over them. The whole world seemed ablaze. The little band silent- ly awaited the end. When the dawn came Thorburn look- ed about him, dreading the worst. But, strange to say, not one of the eotnrran, was missing, and never was more heartfelt prayer of thankfulness littered than that which John Thor- burn offered up in tho midst of that scorched and blackened veldt. One part of the subsequent Journey was so beset with difficulties that. n took them four days to cover. one mile. Then the waggons sank over the axle- trees in a bit of " soft" country. and the men were six day; in digging them out. The climax arrived when the Waggon containing the boat became unmanageable in descending a h!” and overturned, smashing the, PM”? anal - AI _..

Hands blistered and bled with the wielding of pick and gspvade; and the. work was almost) fin- ished when the floods came and wash- ed the road away. Thorburn made the road again, and the weary, foot- som travellers trudged hopefully on.

He was accum- panned by several headmen. who paid great respect to the pale-faces when 99y learned that they were English- "They asked me a lot of questions about our 'Great White Queen,' says Mr. Thorburn,' ' and I told them of her greatness and of her goodness to the black am well as to the wh'ute people' Thes next day they sent " Skokoko." as they 'fhristened Mr. Thorburn, aynung OX, which was slain and eaten by the WHY; and later. the arduous and dan- gerons jollfnoy was resumed. A great friend of Mr. Thorburn was Hans de Ever, upon whose farm were discovered two of the most valuable diamond mines the world has known- tho De Beors and Kimherley. On June 20, 1882, this man, who sold for afew thousands land which was worth mil- lions, died in Mr. Thorburn's house, in thy, 52nd yvar of his age. A the most novel overland journey ever undertaken. CLOUD OVER THE HONEYMOON. ABOUT GLOVES The American government, has at vast filled over the ghastly "bone pit," and the days of " luncheon on skulls" we past. She most extraordinary forest in the world was discovered by Dr. Wet- witsch and occupies a tabieland some six miles in width, between 300 and 400 feet above the sea, near the west coast of Africa. Tho peculiarity of the trees of this forest is that, though their trunks are as much as tour feet in diameter, they attain the height of only one foot. No tree bears more than two leaves, and these attain a length of six and a breadth of two feet. The flowers make gorgeous erim- son clusters. After he was grown up Mr. Ruskin became a great aurirt of whom near- ly everybudy has heard. When he was a little boy his parents wanted him to become a minister, and one night he heard them talking about it, so he thought he would begin right away. The next day when he was with his little playmates he got a red cushion, which he placed on a chair. Then standing behind it and pounding it, as he had seen the minister do, he preached his first sermon. All he said was "People, be good l" but It was a pretty good lemon. after all. " lhe feelings of a man who has been honest before and who permits himself to take any such desperate chances must be terrible. A prosperous mer- chant confessed a transaction of that kind to me once, and I have never for- gotten his story. It was shortly after he started in business, and in a moment of frightful pressure he cashed atorg- ed note for 31,100. The paper had 90 days to run, and he felt certain he would be able to collect enough out- standing accounts to pay it before the time elapsed. A careful estimate, no record having been kept, pubs the number of human skeletal“ in the pit at 700,000. When one realizes. that the pic is nearly three hundred years old, and the average life of mum is a little ins than thirty years, Havana's population for the last hundrd ya-ars being more than 2200,- 000, it is quite plausible that the esti.. mate is most conservative. In some cases the coffin and all have been dumped into the "pit" and left to the depredation.s of the vulture or buzzard, the scavenger of Havana; skulls with long hair still on are not infrequent sights, and in one case, a skull still held fast a .. switch." Midnight rambles over the heads of these departed have been one of the pastimes of the morbidly inclined in Havana. " But, once the deed was done, he be- came a prey to all mannerot horrible apprehensions. Risks and possibilities he had never dreamed of suddenly loomed like mountains. He heard accl- dentally that the bank eashierand the man whose name he had forged hep longed to the same club. What it the none were mentioned by chance in con- versationl The thought went through him like a bullet, and he nearly swoon- ed. For two months, he said, he kept a loaded revolver in the top drawer in his desk, fully determined to blow our his brains on the instant of dis- covery. __ _ .. _ - _ At been In" Are New. Ion-d an. in: In Old Balk Clerk. " At least one half of the forgeries committed in any great city are never detected," said an old bank clerk. "I base that statement upon the obser- vation. of years. It happens now and then that some man finds himself in desperate need of money, yields to the temptation and discounts a note bear- ing a forged indorsement. The cash tides him over the crisis, and by the time the paper matures he is able to take it up and put it in the fire. That wipes out the material evidence and the secret remains locked in the bot- tom of his heart. Occasionally he fails to raise the money in time, and then, ot course, the affair comes out,' and he is ruined, But I am convinced that the proportion of discovery is small. "Eventually he paid the note, and the reaction sent him to a sickbed for a week. He assured me that: the mem- ory of that transaction had kept him on the straight path of honour ever since." This famous pit was first dug by Don Pedro Valdes, in the year 1602, and from that day to this iris been the receptacle for the skeleton: of the Cu- ban dead. It is 110 feet square are 20 feet deep, and it had been filled to the twenty foot level. An eight foot stone wall encloses it from the morbidly curious, and in external ap- pearance it resembles an antiquated Spanish fortress or barracks.
