Why they really did leave was embodied in their own expression in which it was stated they owned the slaves and had a perfect right to do with them as we pleased. So here was their bone of conten f liads that he cannot trek further and being surrounded by the civib izing inllueuces of the English he finds that he has either to fight or quit. Another question has arisen as to their cleanliness of life and to show their position in this regard will quote from a writer in Leslies magazine of a month ago. Among other things the writer says, They are a trying race to attend in sickness. If the medicine prescribed does not have the immediate effect they are fond of oupple-mentin- g them with mysterious and wonderful concoctions known as "huis medieinen (house medicines) which sometimes eombire with the doctors prcscriptiims in producing curious ami surju-i-inis to symptoms, the origin of whi.-lthe unfortunate medico uumv obscure.

They may be brave but so is a mule. They fight behind rocks not in tlie open. They hate the English because they believe in the civilizing influences of progression. They own slaves aud will continue to do so until civilization puts a stop to it. They are a republic in name but despotic in nature.
