An "Outlander" on the War. The following illuminating: letter was written July 24 at Cape Town by "the Rev. W. Dewdney Drew and was addressed to an English non-conform? ist clergyman. It presents a remark? able picture of the situation in South Africa today. Mr. Drew lived in the Transvaal for some years before the "war, he was a member of the so-called "reform committee of the outlanders in Johannesburg and when the war broke out, he took the British side. The letter follows : The accompanying newspaper, which contains a published letter of mine, ?will reveal to you that I by no means echo the usual tale carried home by South African ministers. Few of these know the Boer and these who do are so worked up by war feeling that -Uley can only look upon him as an enemy. The consequence is that the bulk of the counsels at present ad? dressed by British South Africans to the home people are of an intensely party character. They are as fit to ba trusted by you as a description which, ?et us say, a Tory might draw of the liberal party would-be nt to be trust? ed bj a foreigner. There are just two points on which I feel impelled to write to you and they both relate to an essential mistake which we are making about the Boer people. They are not a people to be cowed, nor are they a people to forget. This bears, for one tiling, very rele? vantly on . our conduct of the war. Every piece of terrorism, every "severe measure.," has so far recoiled on ourselves. The burning and pillaging committed by our troops, and to which I can testify (having ridden hundreds of miles in their track, ) has merely put the very devil into the Boers. I have heard from their own lips and from the lips of their women bow it has affected them. To give names, I was dining one day last month with the mother and two sisters of the Commandant Kritzinger now invading the colony, and with the Miss Olivier, (daughter of the com? mandant of that name, ) whom he is engaged to marry. These ladies are refugees in Basutoland, where I met them. They were unanimous in ascrib? ing the continued resistance of their -relatives and countrymen to the above mentioned canse. At Thaba' .Nchu, where my brother-in-law's farm is situated, there lives a Mrs. Adams, whom I have known for years. She is an English lady and ministers to the sick in hospital, showing them charity regardless of their nationality. She told me, too, as I travelled home? ward from Basutoland that the wound? ed Boers were giving the same ex? planation. From what I have person? ally seen of the ravages inflicted by our troops on the Free State by fire and pilfering there are revelations yet . to be made to the British public which will fulfil Mr. Kruger's forecast and indeed ' ' stagger humanity. ' ' I know nothing personally about '"'concentration" camps, having never visited one. However, I have, when riding on the veldt, met convoys of women and children, and have also seen them huddled by scores m open trucks which stood by the hour at Springfontaein Railway station until the line could be cleared for forward? ing them to the Bethulie camp. The last-mentioned contingent had come in the same day from Fauresmith, ow? ing to "dearin" operations in that district. There were, of course, in? evitable discomforts, let such removals be planned as wisely as possible, but I do not think the Boer women would make much of these. What will never die from the memory of the survivors is the horrors which we have allowed to fail upon them, not, of course, in? tentionally, but through sheer mud dlement. The Government returns as to the mortality in these camps fur? nish only too convincing proof, and I venture to predict that Miss Hob bouse's finding will be virtually en -dorsed by the ladies' commission which has now sailed. It is the same Mnd of neglect which caused the hos? pital scandals, and which I have with my own eyes witnessed going on in the fighting ditricts and in the near pres? ence of the enemy. A general sets out to'*clear" a given stretch of country. He is going to scoop human lives wholesale into his net, but has no notion of what he will do with them when caught. The capture effected, be dumps the unfortunates down on the nearest camp, whose officer is at his wits end to provide for them. Then the troubles begin ; children die for lack of milk, women are unattend? ed in childbirth, and the Government have to compile a set of "returns' which make an Englishman's ears tinele as he reads. \>e have now the blended stupidity and cruelty of these "rebel" execu? tions. I am not surprised to see that some dozen leading farmers were after? wards banished from the Cradock dis? trict. Probably, as the South African .News suggests, they refused to attend when ordered. I hear that the Mur raysburg district is seething with fury. Yesterday's papers report a specially fierce and successful attack on a military train in that neighbor? hood. It will yet be found that the putting np of the scaffolds for Coet zec and Marais was equivalent to building recruiting offices for the Boer commandants. May God inspire our rulers with humaner and wiser coun? sels, but the average British officer exercising military law appears from what I have seen of him to regard himself as a viceregent of the Almighty without his responsibility. The other point on which our mis? conception of the Boer character has a bearing arises out of the question of the settlement. Ever since the publi? cation of the peace negotiations be? tween Kitchener and Botha I have felt that the main responsibility for the blood afterward shed lies on the head of Mr. Chamberlain. "Botha," ac? cording to Lord Kitchener, "tried very hard for a modified independence." This disposes, by the way, of the com? plaint which I see in the latest ar? rived British Weekly, that there i is "no sign that the Boers in the field will ever look at any terms that do not provide for the restoration of their in? dependence." Precisely. But Kitch? ener has revealed to us how they are now willing to interpret indepen? dence. Offer them exactly that kind of home rule which the Liberal party tried to obtain for Ireland and there is no doubt it would be wholeheartedly accepted. Only we must approach them in a frank and friendly spirit. It is the demand for "unconditional surrender, " the brutal announcement 4hat we mean to be ' top dog, '5 to ?"fight to a finish, " and not leave ! them "a shred of independence," which is nerving the Boers with the courage of despair. We shall find them on these lines as intractable as Philip and Alva found their forefath? ers. If we were not wholly in the right when the war began-I speak as on outlander-we had, at least, a great deal of it on our side-I think we had the bulk of it. "We are now_ transfer? ring that quantity to the side of the Boers and history may come to curse us as it has long cursed Spain, ? I have addressed this letter to you because I know of your interest in South African affairs and hear that you still keep an open mind among so many who have committed themselves to violent party views. You can do as you like with what I have written. Sampson Said to be Mental Wreck. "Washington, D. C., Sept. i.-A staff correspondent of a Boston paper who was sent to Lake Sunapee, X. H., to investigate the true condition of Ad? miral Sampson's health, wires that has improved physically, but is a mental wreck. It is stated in Boston that he is suffering from aphasia, a complete re? covery from which is doubtful when the patient is advanced in years. The Boston correspondent says : ' ' Often when he attempts to talk he exhibits a forgetfulness which is piti? able. Thus the correspondent says that when he was asked within an hour after his arrival at Sunapee how long he had been at the hotel, he look? ed vacantly around and finally replied *I do not know.' His questioner totally unaware of the Admiral's afflic? tion, repeated the inquiry several times until at last Mrs. Sampson had to answer and then lead her husband away." A Needed Text-Book. It is the duty of the south to teach its children the truth about the civil war. In too many schools of this section have crept text books, purporting to be histories of the civil iwar, which contain so many gross misrepresenta? tions and absolute falsehoods that any self-respecting southern man would prefer that his children should not be I taught anything of that unfortunate coniflct than that their minds should be filled with lies about it. Mr. A. L. Hull, of Athens, has pub? lished a compact, well arranged and perfectly reliable little text book of "The Campaigns of the Confederate Army" which will commend itself to every school teacher and board of edu? cation who desires to have southern children learn the impartial history of the struggles and achievements of their heroic fathers and grandfathers who fought for the Confederate cause. This book does not inculcate sectional prejudice or bitterness, which the south has no purpose or desire to per? petuate. It does contain a fair statement of the Confederacy which the people of the south must teach their children or prove recreant to a sacred duty. The text books which slander the south have been well-nigh eliminated from the schools of this section, and the work of throwing them out will be kept up until they shall be thoroughly cast out. Such books as that which Mr. Hull has prepared will take their places and our school chil? dren will be protected from the frauds which have been so often imposed upon them as history.-Atlanta Jeur nal. Crying: ana Groaning. According to a French physician, crying and groaning in pain are na? ture's own methods of subduing the keenness of physical suffering. Ile thinks that, men should freely relieve their sufferings in this way and that crying in children should not be re? pressed, as In doing so serious conse? quences may be engendered.

Aug. 26-3w. WORKING IN PUBLIC. Show Window Artisans Can Com? mand Good R?mun?ration. A Broadway shoe manufacturer was asked what method of advertising he found most profitable. "Placing my men near the window," he said, "so they can work in view of the public. I don't know of anything that catches the attention of the passer? by more quickly than the sight of a demonstrator sitting close to the win? dow running a machine for dear life. "Manufacturers of all kinds of goods have adopted this plan. Waistmakers put their most skilled workers on exhi? bition to show how the finest garments are cut and sewed. Cigar manufactur? ers take the public into their confidence and let them see the process of rolling as performed by the cleverest hands. Men who deal in mechanical contriv? ances have found that it pays to have at least one machine set up near a win? dow so the crowd outside may observe the intricacy of its parts and the rapid? ity of its action. Jewelers have station? ed their most expert lapidaries within view of the street that possible custom? ers may see how precious stones are cut and polished and set "It isn't everybody who can work in public. It takes a person with' good strong nerves and concentration of thought to do difficult work ki a show window. I have men in my employ who are excellent workers, but they get flustered when subjected to unusu? al surveillance and ruin everything they put their hands to. I have tried some of them as window operators, but they can't get used to it "A man who can run a machine at full tilt or paint a picture or fry pan? cakes or iron a shirt in the full gaze of the public eye and not lose his head is an artist and worth several dollars more a week to his employer than the mere modest individual. And he gets it too."-New York Sun. When E-ferVthlnar Sticks. "In muggy weather." said the retired burglar, "I always used to stop work not because work was unpleasant then, but on account of everything sticking so. "You couldn't tell what might hap? pen. Anything and everything was lia? ble to stick and make more or less noise when you finally got it open. A window might stick at first and then go up with a bang. I've had a deer open on me that way-fly open all of a sudden after I'd been pushing on it a long time and let me through the door? way on to the floor. There's always danger, for instance, in pulling out a drawer that sticks of pulling it clean out and letting it drop. "There's constant clanger of some? thing of this sort happening, and it doesn't pay to take the chances. And it's easy enough to know when to stay home. My rule was never to try to do any work in weather that would rust a jimmy."-New York Sun. Hove to Bntton a Coat. The art of properly buttoning a coat -any coat-is. do it the other way. That is to say that nine out of every ten of us button our coats the wrong way. We commence with the topmost button when we should commence with the bottommost The frailest portion of a coat, in re? spect to shape retaining qualities-no matter how well made-is the region of collar and lapels. The swagger mer? chant tailor always cautions his cus? tomer to "wear it buttoned a few days so that the collar may set properly." Then, this admitted, it follows that tugs and strains affecting this part of the garment tend to destroy its sym? metry. Drawing the coat together by the top button and buttonhole for the purpose of fastening exerts a pull all around the shoulders and neck region, which, by repetition, in time will give the smartest coat a hang dog appear? ance.-Chat Made Good Matches. She-I can't make out how It is that Mrs. Wise has fish for nearly every meal. It can't be for economy's sake, for she must be fairly well off. He-She has a large family of un? married daughters, you know. She-Now, don't be nasty and say something about girls and their brains. That's so old. He-Oh, no, I hadn't the slightest in? tention of doing sol She-Well, can't you tell me? He-I don't know, I'm sure, unless it's because fish are rich in phosphorus. She-I don't see what that has to do with it He-Perhaps not, but still it's good for making matches. Scotch Thrift. The city council of Auckland placed a price on the head of every rat in the city, and a grocer's boy became a per? fect Nimrod and slew about 30. At the risk of contracting the plague he car? ried his dead along, obtained the scaly money and came back jubilant to his master and told him how much he liad made. The master cast upon him au eye of Aberdeen gray, and then re- J marked quietly. "Weel, weel, ye'll just pay the money to cur cashier, for ye ken the rats is mine, not yours."-Syd? ney Bulletin._ Too Liberal. Wife-Here's an advertisement in the paper that you'd better lock into. It says a man is wanted, and he wou't be worked to death, and he'll get paid enough to live on. Husband-Says he won't be worked to death, eh? \Vife_Yes; and they promise pay enough to live on. Husband-Some catch about that! Pick-Me-?p._ The Diplomat*? Solution. "And if an irresistible force meets an immovable body?" succested his friend.
