And they looked a synod of kirk elders rather than a parliament, this company of sun-burned men in ill-cut »roadcloth. Thev filled their chairs uneasily, for, for seven months, they had known no softer seat than a saddle Their deep bronzed faces contrasted strangely with the office pallor of the Hollander clerks, and the healthy mahogany of the chairman, Lucas Meyer, made ghastly the fishy white- ness of the President’s cheeks.

For a deliberative assembly they were young, with only two greybeards conspicuous in the First Volksraad. Douce, sober-minded farmers they seemed, more suited to the taking of a collection than the deliberation of a nation’s destinies. All men in their prime, full of the passion of life, there was but one influence could curb their animalism—their own material

reckoning day was coming, and the members were already uneasily count- ing its cost.

In the chairs at General Lucas Meyer, a great man, deep-chested and deep-voiced, pre-eminently a man of presence. High onhis left hung the portraits of those [he had aspired ‘to be reckoned among—Paul Kruger,

Piet Joubert and Nicolaas Smit. A war he had valiantly fought against

had intervened to keep him from their company andtodim in some degree the lustre of his reputation. He had not done badly in battle, but he had not proved himself the leader the people had thought him, and so he was somewhat of a smaller man than at the date of his last election to the chair. He had been tried in the fire, and the burghers were not satisfied with the assay.

At his right hand satthe change- less one, Paul Kruger. Sitting crink- led up in his chair, the eld, leaden- faced man looked badly beside his | burly colleague. And yet had he lost {nothing of the respect which he iclaimed at the commencement of the | struggle. Day in, day out, ceaselessly, | tirelessly, the President had worked. } |

needless, tedious merely the farmer president.

But through it all the restless eyes

are roaming, resting for a moment with silent wonder on the brilliant

uniforms of the foreign consuls and the glittering breasts of the military attaches, but resting longest on the vacant places. Only two of the ex- ecutive chairs to his right are occupied. Mr. Reitz, the State Secretary, is there, looking busy but buoyant, re- gretting sorely the time lost in this

senseless ceremonial; and _ Vice- President Schalkburger, pessimistic, burdened, tired—the man who has

overlain his opportunity, the Transvaal Hamlet.

Piet Jourbert’s seat is held sacred to | him by a great wreath of palm leaves clasped by a bunch of Transvaal rib- It is his guerdon fora clean— vanded life of service to the state; General Joubert may have been no great tactician, but he was an honest man—the proudesi epitaph a man may earn in Soutn Africa.

Three other executive seats are empty, those of A. D. Wolmarans, gone to Europe, Jan Kock, killed at Elandslaagte, and Piet Cronje. Jan Kouck’s place is marked, as Joubert’s is, by the insignia of an honorable death. Over the vexcd chair of Cronje is draped a vierkleur, and on that is placed an oak wreath—memorials of the man who so blindly planned the Republic’s Sedan at Paardeberg. Down in the body of the Raadzaal two wreaths show the seats of Mr. Barnard, died at Doompoort, and of Mr. Tosen, succumbed to hardships suffered at the front. Ofthe mem-

well six months before. Round every hat was a band of crape, and the hand of war lay very heavy on the Assembly that bright, sunlight afternoon of May 7, 1900.

Three members remained out of seven upon the executive benches, and the President referred to the vacant places not inelegantly in his speech: To my mind it would not be out of piace to express here how sincerely we appreciate the services of these our dead brothers. History will know how to value the work of our late Com- mandant-Genera!l. He not only com- manded the respect of the enemy, but his humane and glorious deeds have added significuuce tv the state among the nations.’

A suitable resolution was afterwards adopted by the House.

Blunt company of farmers though they be, the Transvaal Raadsleden are jealous of their parliamentary cere- monials. Their President may only enter the Raadzaal on their express invitation, and must remain through- out a guest with all a guest’s limitations of privilege. At this, the opening of

a chosen commission of members, wears his broad, green sash cf office, and so much of a pair cf white gloves as he can conveniently manipulate.

He isan old man, Paul Kruger, now; of a curious leaden complexion, who speaks, without stop or breath, in a hard, crackling voice that positively barks when he is irritated. His voice was a gcod base once, but it has gown sadly rusted on the veldtin battle and in the chase, and is now a greatly de- teriorated instrument. His language is the true voortrekker’s taal, forcible. sometimes picturesque, but terribly il- literate. Punctuated by hard, dry barks, it is difficult to fellow; anc much of the clerkly Hollanders’ dread of him is due tothe mystery of hi- tongue.

peace and of his country’s treatment at the hands of the British. The sub ject of all of it has been known to us this longtime; but there was no con- viction in the old man’s voice as he thundered: ‘I tell you, God has said, “Thus far shall you come, but no farther.” We live in the Lord and we shall triumph.’

And yet this was no Roundhead Parliament, and that no Oliver Crom- well. It was the most corrupt body of politicians on the face of the globe, throwing its faite utterly upon a God of just dealing ! But Oom Paul was as honest in his_ belief at ever was Old Noll. In that belief the better part of this fighting has been undertaken. And so if was until the next day, when the government introduced to a secret session its proposal to dispose of certain underminig rights, the pro perty of the state and of private per- sons, ‘in the worst market and at tae worst time.’ No longer was the sea- green incorruptible secure in his faith. He must have money, and he would have money. He wrestled with the Raad, bullied it cajoled it. It was useless. ‘The Raad would have none of the proposition, and the old man flung himself homeward in the deepest dudgeon.

Again, on the Wednesday, the at- tempt was made in a new form; but the Opposition swore to end their part in the war, to withdraw their sons and relatives from the fighting line if this things were done. The president was worsted.

And so the session of 1900 was ended. It hadended badly. Moder- ate men, sobered by the long-drawn tussle with death, left again for their commandos, wondering sadly that such things could be while the very veldt was rusted with the blood of patriots.

Was this, then, to be their last re- collection of the Volksraad;

HUMORS OF THE CLERGY.

IRISH AUDIENCE THAT LAUGHED DUR- ING SERVICE AT A SOLEMN SCOLD- ING. “An Irishman of the full blood cannot resist an opportunity for re- partee, no matter how solemn the oc- casion or what his surroundings,” said an English clergyman, a visitor in Washington, the other day, when the conversation turned on the funny ex- periences of clergymen, and the humor that creeps into matters connected with the church. “The only time I ever heard a con- gregation laugh unrestra.nedly during the regular services in a cathedral was back in the eighties, when I was a resident of dear, dirty Dublin. On one Sunday morning the Archbishop of Cork preached. man, an Irishman to the backbone, and possessed of as fine a brogue as ever distinguished a son of Erin. His ccngregation was made up of the very essence of fashion in Dublin, which in those days was one of the greatest social centers in the world. Notorious- ly, people were living beyond their means, for the income from the landed estates of Ireland had taken a big tumble. But that made no difference, and good dressing went as s matter of course, and was one of the smallest of the extravagances. The Archbishop preached on the subject of extrava- gance, and spoke particularly \of over- dressing asa prerequisite to attend- ance at church. His arrangment of the sin of debt and the wickedness of seiting the heart on fashion and dress. He attacked the over-dressed woman, and wound up this particular reference this way: Now, supposin’ every one of ye— vy ty one, man and woman, should aa up in this church, take off the » oes you have not paid for, just kin’ out with only the things on y ur back ye have paid for—a pretty io kn.’ lot of scare-crows: ye’d be.’ -fnere was a pause until the real si n dicance of the suggestion had per- co «td through the members of his Conpresd iv... chen some one snicker- ed. Everyone was picturing to him n. herself the real scence that would should the archbishop’s idea be
