-BORDER RACES IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The possibility, not only of war with the Transvaal, but of misunderstanding with the Orange Free Slate, makes it opportune to inquire as to the probable attitude of the native populations resident either within these Republics, or just without their borders. Are the Boers so cruel to the natives that they will take up arms against the Dutchsif the chance presents itself, and will the Swazis take sides- against the Transvaal, and the Basules against the Free State ? There are questions as which the opinion of H.R. Fox-llourne, the experienced secretary of the Aborigines' Pro- tection Society, was asked yesterday. This society, it perhaps hardly needs to be remarked, has no political leanings, its sole, anxiety being that aboriginal rates should get fair play con currently with the advance of civilisation. Mr. Fox-Bourne agrees that in the old days the Bodrs have been the native's hardest task. masters. It was largely because they objected in give up slavery that they originally trekked! into what are now the Free State and the Transvaal. The more old-fashioned of them believe to this day that the blacks have no souls; and that they must be considered merely as animals. But, for all that according to Mr. Selous and others, the Boers in these later days treat the blacks as kindly as, and in some casée more kindly than do English settlers. They do not give them justice in the counts of law, but they know their possibilities better than the young colonist just arrived in Rhodesia. It is
case of one man knowing how to handle a horse, and another expecting to get a week's work out of him in a day.
This comparative humanity of the Boers, as Mr. Fax Bourne calls it, no doubt counts for something. On the other hand, as he phrases it if Afrikanders and Englishmen should get to blows, there will be an opportunity for turblence
PRAYER BEFORE BATTLE. The following verses were published in the Sửu of 11th ulting, just after the receipt of the Boer Ultimatum in London --
Grim is the hour, and closer conies die enemy; Stand to our anus, the time is drawing nigh: Face to the front and fearless wait the brunt,
Ready to conquer, resalute to die. Sternly erect, in calm and silent dignity,
Dress to the lines or form the British square, And while they wait, in cowardice of hate,
Pause we awhile and bow the head to player Lord God of Hosts, Jehovah, God of Sabaoth,

Grant us Thy might to conquer in the light,

And with jugglery of lies have subdued us to

Fatherland.

folk who should be free.

The primitive trouble of the Boers might come in the Zoutpansberg district, where there is an enormous native population. Until within recent years they had this hilly northern district pretty much to themselves, The Boer fanners were content to remain in the south, and the natives were allowed to do practically as they pleased. But when English settlers in- creased in the Transvaal, and the mining | Till at last their tyrant hand lay too heavy on industry developed, many of the young Boer fumers moved northward.

We have generally credited our American cousins with being possessed of lively and startling imaginations and the following account of the loss of the White Cloud, as published in the Philadelphia Public Ledger of 3rd ultima, certainly tends to show that they are still worthy of our admiration:

And he explained that his wireless system, worked better in stormy weather. A gale, a hurricane, the wind at a great gun pace-"even a fog," added the Chevalier, accepting another guip and cherry proffered by a steward, "would
suit me better than this fine weather."

He even re- ceived messages in the chart to direct from shore-stock quotations from the floor of the Change twenty miles away, sans wires, sans cables, sans any kind of trickery. His wireless bulletins were sent, indeed, as by magic. The readers of these bulletins on shore were sepa- rated from Marconi by only a few seconds.

The vessel found. ered when about ninety miles from Hongkong, ani seven men were drowned. The crew had just time enough to get away from the steamer when she foundered. The mate's boat, cona taining six besides himself, was drawn into the vortex with her. The Captain's boat, containing six people, was picked up by a Chinese junk and taken to Shanghai. The disaster is "said to have been doe in the ravages of the white rat. The vessel's scams opened out and she simply collapsed.

The aldershot correspondent of the S writing on the ath ultimo, on the prepacations going forward for the despatch of Troops to South Africa says
ANXIOUS FOR WAR.
Among it all, for good or for evil, there is keen desire for war. You can't speak to a man who is ordered out who is not delighted. I did not find one who was not of the first to inse who was not bitterly envious of those who were. Probably never since the Crimea have our men been so keen for the struggle as they are to-day. You hear them quite calmly discuss the varying degree of injury which different bullets will cause them. Also the best way to avoid further injury when once you are down.
And they joke about the whole business at intervals like schoolboys about their games.

Since 1884, when their country became a Crown colony, they have been left largely to work out their own salvation, under the administrative care of such wise officials as Sir.

Marconi came out of the chart room, leaped the board fence of the inclosure, crossed the deck to where two steamer chairs stood, threw himself into one, 'gare me an assignment to cover the other, and said: "Glad to see the Telegraph what's up?"
The genius who sat beside me, as before suggested, was no bigger than a Frenchman and not older than a quarter century. He was a mere boy, with a boy's happy temperament and enthusiasm, and a man's serious view of his life work. His hair was a trifle red, his manner a little nervous and his eyes a bit dreamy.
From where we sat we could hear sounds coming from the chart room, as if somebody in there were striking parlour matches as rapidly possible one after another. That was Marconi's operator sending Columbia-Shamrock, tele grams by the Morse code, but without wires, to the receiving station at Navesink, many miles away. The "Beware of live wires" sign was excused by the fact that such a wire actually did rup from the chart room to the top of the mast, where the incssage spread-out into the air in Heitzian waves, after the fashion that ripples spread out in a pond following-the- splash of a stone
