It would seem that at some far

than any of fbe present Kaffir tribes
bad penetrated into tbe region wo
now call Masbonalnnd and bad

workings are found in many parts
of that country, and even as far as
tbe southwestern part of Matabele
land romains, wbiob sbow , that
mining must have been carried on,
by primitive methods no doubt, but
still upon a scale larger than we can
well deem within the capabilities of
the Kaffir tribes as wo now see

Among the countless number of

war and now revel in military titles
of all descriptions it is refreshing to
meet with a man who will plainly,

that he served from beginning to
end of the bloody campaign as A full

is John J. Scrlvner, tbo San Francis

When tbe war broke out,- Mr.
Sorivner enlisted in tbe Confederate
service and-went through the entire
war, laying down bis arms at its
close with the humble rank of pri-

Well, Sorivner was opposed to this
prinoiple and fortunate enough to
escape involuntary dignity until one
memorable occasion, not long ajo,
