Dravn Ulil Datoh man, Who Know No Fran. Although the Traiuivnnl in in name a republic, It Is really governed by a despotic oligarchy. Indeed, it might be said to be ruled by a triumvirate, conalntlng of Prculdent Kruger, Ocn. Joubcrt and Gen. Snilt. The chief and beat known of these Is President Kru ger, or "Oom Paul," an he in almoit universally called by the Itoers. Ho is a robust old man of something more than 70 yearn. In early life lie was phynlcaJly tho strongeat man iu tho whole Transvaal, and he Is cten now by no mcann decrepit. He has n long, narrow head, with small, cunning eyes deeply set under furrowed brows, u large and rather coarse nose and mouth and u struggling beard. There Is llttlo of the phlegmatic Dutchman in his manner anil conversation; on tho con trary, he Lt voluble, excitable nml given to a profusion of gestures. In religion he is "Doppor" that is, u member of the most conservative and bigoted sect among the iioers. He ucd to be a great fighter and leader of raids n.ilrmt the natives. When he woh ii mere lad he distinguished himself In a eniupnlgn against tho Zulus. A Hoer expedition on the upper waters of the iuil river received tidings at the. close of it day's fighting that a Zulu Impi wns (nhi;neing to attack them. The llocrs, all excepting young Kruger, refused to believe it ami lay down to sleep, but Kruger bel!ewl the news, determined to keep watch all night and persuaded one comrade to hit up with him. Kitting on wagons on opposite sides of the camp, their rifles In their hands, they watched all night. At length, just before daybreak, Kruger's keen ear caught the sound of approaching feet. He luul just time to give tho alarm when a thousand or more Zulus charged full upon the camp. There was a desperate struggle, but the Hoers vere at last successful and the Zulus were repulsed. Put hml it not lieeu for Krufrer's watchfulness there is little doubt that every one of the Hoers would hae been slaughtered. Kruger ln-ars upon his lxidy many sears of bnllet.s and spearheads. Ills left hand is minus a thumb, which he lost many years ago. He wus out hunt ing when his gun burst and terribly mangled the thumb. He was afraid lockjaw would set iu, and so entreated his comrades to amputate tho mem ber. One of them tried to do so, but his heart failed him and he gave it up. Thereupon Kruger seized n knife with his other hand and himself cut off the mangled thumb. The ery small scar now remaining shows how good a job he mndo of it. He has secnd times visited Kngland on missions for his countrymen. He first went wearing the broad felt hat, tho short jacket and shoes of un tainted leather which form the usual costumes of a "Doppcr" lloer. Hut on his return home his astonished friends beheld him clad in u high silk hat, a long black frock coat and jwlished boots. He told them that Kngland was a good enough country and contained some line house, hut nil the land seemed to belong to some one. l!ven outside of London you could notsitdown under a tree to smoke a pipe without having some one come up mid say the land was his and ask you what you were doing there. Kruger has stubbornly refuted to learn u word of English, und there In no mnn In the whole re public who regards Englishmen with more hatred and contempt than he does. X. Y. Tribune. HE COULD PLAY THE JEWSHARP. Singular Sentiment Kxprred at the !ritn of u Munlelnn. Wo gathered around tho tijicn grave, ten of us, and gacd down silently at the plain deal coflin. Xone of us knew any burial service, but something of tho sort seemed necessary, so we stood puzzling our bruins to recall some good action of the deceased. After a hipsu of seicral minutes Jones men tioned how the corpse had once treated Cornish Joo to a big burst. The re mark was better left unsaid, for we all remembered that the, sequel to that action wa.s his running through tho traveler's pocket and abstracting all the contents thereof. There was another silence, of five, minutes while we moved our t cot about, Hhuflllng tho loose earth into rude circles. Then Darbyshire whispered that perhaps If we sung something it would be better than keeping dead sN lence. There was no answer to Dar by shire's suggestion. Ity and by, Murphy could stand it no longer, "lloys," he cried, "d'ye molud tho toimc ho did Ginger Smith outer a len at Gerogery? A low, snenking hound he was." "Aye, ho waa that," chipped In Mc Dougall. "Do you no remember him Miltiu' the South claim, too?" Vu all remembered It well. Our tongues wero loosened atonce, nnd each of us had some anecdote to relate of the. perfidy of the departed. For an hour or more we stayed, until the pauses got longer between the yarns, and ulti mately conversation came to a stop. AYo shoveled in tho eurth and left a yel low mound to mark the spot. Then wo made for the Miner's Arms to drink the corpse's health. "Fill 'cm up, nion," sold McDougiUl. "Ho was a dom'd scoondrel, but, my oath, ho could play tho jewsharp." Sydney Hulletln. Tha Wroug Word. Mrs. Qucrrel sat looking into the fire. Presently she chuckled a little bit. "Whnt are you giggling at?" kindly inquired Mr. Querrel. "I was thinking of tho time when you proposed. You told mo to say tlio one little word that would make you happy for life.' "Yes, I remember. And you went and nald tho wrong word."

The remarkable presence of mind that u horse can display in case of an emergency was illustrated the other evening at .'list street and Broadway.

South-bound cable car Xo. 89 of tho Columbus nveiinu division was going down Broadway at a rapid rate of speed. The horse, which wns attached to a delivery wagon, was going from east to west, also at a very rapid gait. The driver, who had a companion in the person of a boy 12' years old, un mindful of tle approach of tho car, failed to reduce his speed when Broad way was reached. Neither tho gripmrui nor the driver saw each other until it seemed too Into to avoid uu aeeldent. By tlils.timc the horse was half way across the cast truck and the cur was close upou it Tho gripmnn let go his grip and put on tho brakes, but tho people who wit nessed the sight did not think for a. moment that either the horse or its driver would come out of the accident alive, but tho horse, with common senso which would do credit to many human lelngs, instead of trying to gctueross tho track, with tho possibility of wrecking tho wagon and killing its- nccupuuts, stopped short directly in front of the car, reared on Its hind legs and let the car come oil When It was upon him he intelli gently let his front feet down over tho dashboard and iuto tho car. This done, he quickly raised his hind legs on to the steps, and after the horse gave a short neigh of happiness the car eiimn to a standstill nml the equine hacked off.
