ENGLAND AND THE TRANSVAAL.

The status quo in the Transvaal to-day is this described by a writor in the North American Review: A half-nomad people, of sullow and wrencial temperament, severed from Kaupo and its influences for over 203 yeare, living rudely swd contentedly on the vast ari koldings where their sheep and eattle aro pastarod-each man as far as my be frutti Eis weightbout-disdaining trade, disdaining agriculture, ignorant to an almost inconceivable degree of ignorance, without music, literature, or art, superstitions, grily religions-they (to Boers) are in all things, except suurage and stubbornness of chaaclar, the vorg antithesis of the stran gers settled among them. The patriarch Abrahnu in Wall-Street would hardly make an older contrast. The Uitlanders have en even greater share of the intelligeneous the Nevertheless. cutry than of its wealth. No
