Although the native has a high con tempt for his women he is very sus ceptible to tlie ridicule of the females among the tribe, particularly if it is excited ori account of his unwillingness to flght when the women think he should. If there is ever any trouble among the Kaffirs you may be sure that the women are at the bottom of it. 1! is not so much the married women as the lntombis the girls of a mar riageable age without husbands who inflame the young men's ardor. They have their own methods very i 'fe.etlvo ones in rousing the halt civilized instinets to which they appeal, writes a correspondent of the London Daily Mall. When Inspector Hunt was murdered last February the women turned out of the kraal before the men and taunted the males in the huts by chanting a rung with a refrain which means "The coward shall not look upon the comely maiden." Hum stood there ordering the women back to their huts, for he knew what it meant, but, in the words of one of his troopers, "The men wouldn't stand it, and they picked up their assegais and came at us liko fan." It is the women who always come out after a fight and intllet the mutilation upon the dead, which is s revolting a feature of the Kaffir customs. Annrt from the cruelty sometimes practiced upon the fallen foe, the mu tilation of the dead seldom springs from mere savage blood thirstiness. The phrase "washing the assegais" is often used by the Zulus when they talk of war. In an encounter with a number of the enemy.it is not only the man who kills his adversary who "washes" his weapon, but also the natives who follow him in the rush, for as he passes each warrior takes the (Irst opportunity of staining his blade with blood by plunging it into the body of the pros trate foemun. The native superstition is that, should the corpse of the man he has killed follow the ordinary course of dissolution intact he himself will A. i k.at nnil the believe that If they do nut per ,. m U vicarious killing which has been d scribed their right hands and arms v, 111 wn.ner aaj. ..,...,, of killed when he Is overcome he has no respect for the eunnuerer. and he car ries out the same principle to the letter against his own enemies. When his blood is fairly up the na tive the Zulu especially is no coward, and he is frequently known to act with conspicuous bravery. The carbineers In Col, MacKay's column a few days ago were attacking a rebel stronghold other, the devoted lather painfully made his -way to the side of his off spring and there laid himself gasping, his assegai ready fur his defence and theirs.

In troopers and a loyal nativa climbed upj this part of Natal the country is ex tiemely broken and mountainous, and the natives, instead of living In kraals, inhabit natural caves in rocky preci pices which overlook as wild a land scape as Gustave Dore and S.

Dno native alone remained by the pile of stones which formed the rebels' rune armory, out he made no move ment, and the little knot of volunteers on the platform above thought he was dead. The shower of flying projectiles had ceased, and our men recommenced tho climb. Suddenly tho motionless rebel leaped up, and running to a cavity I a little distance further on In the rock face disappeared, emerging a moment later with two small figures clinging tbout his neck. He waited not a second, but, holding an assegai between his teeth, com menced to clamber hand over list up tho nearly vertical side of the cliff to ward a recess fifty feet, overhead, that would afford him a safe refuge could he gain it. The man was wounded. and badly, for a stream of blood flowed down his broad back, trickling from his heels as he stepped from one projection to another. Tho daring of the thing imazed our men, anyone of whom could have easily picked the fugitive off by a shot at 400 yards, but tho word went round, "Don't shoot." The colonials watched In silence as the brave rebel toiled In face of almost certain death, step by step and foot by foot, upward to find safety for his children. He had won three-quarters of 'the way to his goal when he showed signs of weakness. Another three yards up and the man 'was spent.

They do net handle any such things as bonds in Byerley's department. The chance that Byerley took was open to anyone who could afford a 2-eehl postage Stamp to carry a bid to Washington. For the first time since 1S!6 the government withdrew the .usual order requiring a deposit when bids are filed. .The reason, it has been stated was because there was some fear felt over the results of the issue owing to the stagnation of the invest ment market and money stringency, and Secretary Shaw did not want to put any obstacles in the way. Winn the announcement of the sale was made the clerk who had been bending over figures in an office with stores of clerks on the same footing as himself saw his opportunity. Then did some remarkable figuring. It remarkable in that his average Byerley did not get his money yes terday. It will take a day or two to ligure it out, and then he will receive n cheek Hut tiverl. v dceideil to start his vacation rieht n.w.-iv. tie had won. and he didn't lose any time in get ting home to fell his wife and the chil dren what he had made with a 2-cent stamp and a head for figures. Byerley has never had more than two weeks' vacation, and only in late years has lie hail this. He litis saved a little on his small salary, but th'1 $10,000 it may even be a trifle more than that lis clean velvet, and he and Secretary Shaw that he had been bid figured out a. little, bit better than awarded $5,800,000 of the new Panama the big Concerns. His average was canal bonds. 103.05. He also Was shrewd enough to The express t lerk has disposed of his see that the bonds would almost cer bonds at a price which nets a profit tainly go up, that the banks need for him of a little over $10,000.

They were acting for Fiske i he only had until August 1 to do biisi- his family are going to have a good time with a large part of it. "Byerley certainly showed wonder ful aecumeu," said one of the members, of Baehe & Co. "It took careful fig uring to do what he has done, and any amount of nerve. But he has won out on an investment of 2 eent qpd we're glad we had something to ct with his fortune. He was the happiest man I ever saw in my life." The bond men figured out today that If he has made ?10,000 on the deal, tho actual profit on his investment was ' 4,499,990 per cent. It's the record, so far as Wall street knows.

They i want their market by tho bonds whieli had, and he did not have any difficulty in getting them off his hands. After disposing of the little bond deal yesterday Byerley went back to the office of Bache & Co. He had to git express office, put on his coat, shook special permission from the Express (in August. 1 he would have had to put up the money to actually get the bonds, and that would have meant millions. 7 ,. Byerly got word on Saturday the bonds had been awarded to him. On Monday morning he walked into the hands with his fellow-clerks and started off on a two-month leave of absence. 'He Is going to take his whole family to Europe on what he has made on the investment of a postage stamp. .More than that, when he comes back, It was learned today, he is to step Irtto a bigger job and get a raise. The executive officers of the express company didn't know they had sucli a Company to. go out for the few min utes. Nobody knew him in the office of the bond house. "I've got a few bonds I'd like to sell," he said, pulling something out: of his pocket. The bond expert thought it would turn out that he had some old scrip or some mining company paper. Wrhen ISyerley showed him tho official notifi cation from Washington the bond-mau ided that a clerk with such financial acumen might be of more aid to the company than simply chasing up fig ures on a set of books, so it was deter mined to shift him from the account ing department to the office of the treasurer. Just what salary he Will get they wouldn't say, but it will be a good deal more than hei has been getting. Byerley, who has suddenly become a i Wall-street figure and the talk of every one concerned in making menoy, from the humblest office boy to the haughtiest milltonarle, is a small man, just about 50 years of age, and with hair just turning gray. He was once a clerk in a bank In California. When he came to this citv he could eret noth- a small spur which he was just able jng better than clerking for an express 10 icacn. uoing me same wltn tne company.

But even then Byerly Wasn't sure that the con cern would take the bonds, and every day brought him nearer August 1 and failure. He left Bache & Co. and the next day got two more hours' special leave he went around to some other big bond, houses. None of them would buy his bonds. Had he sold them, ho would have had to give Bache & Co. their commission, but he was willing to do that, as the days were getting short. He couldn't get anybody to take the bonds from him. Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock he went to Bache ft Co.'s office. He didn't know whether he had won or lost.
