Iti-pretty tough, (‘specially for the police, who have not had so much roughing as their guide, but they are game. The outlaw went to a bush camp yesterday, ami, as usual, threw a piece of wood qu the tent to see if there was anybody at home. One of the fellows was in the tent with a bad leg, and on going out was surprise i to see a wild Wiry man with a gun. 1 don’t know Who was most scared, but anjLbw the Ma< : i ran. Perhaps the other fellow would have, but ,he had the bate leg. This is the first time Mateug . has been seen by a pakebrn lor ovej- *twp years’: The warrant lor his arrest for horse-stealing was. issued four yeats ago. He is by the description there sft Win high, and fortyfive years of age. It would-'amuse yon to see Detective Broberg with whiskers. I "Reckon if the outlaw looks much wilder than he, no ■wonder people are scared. ” Eraiaßhoemers, of Derendorf, GermaoJl'who recently gave birth to a sow in a prison cell while awaiting execution of her death sentence- for complicity in the murder of a military officer in a in Gladbach, has beeh refused par--don. The court has decreed. that she shall nurse her child for eight weeks. The baby- will then be placed in tin orphan asylum and the mother decapitated. The divining-rod has vindicated itself in South-west Africa. According to the Hamburger Naehrichteu, Herr Non Ulsar, ■who was sent out to endeavour to locate water supplies, reports that two’ excellent wells were bored which his divining rod-had enabled him to-discover. It is declared that up. to June 26th Herr Von had by the same means discovered water in no fewer than 53 places. Another attraction for visitors to the Nx Z. Exhibition will be the appearance, for one week, of a tribe of fire-walkers from the Island of Bega, Fiji. The tribe will consist of twenty men, and the exhibibition will be a magnificent <«ie. The natives sent will be some of the original fire-walkers and will be attired iii their native dress. After the ceremony is over each time, it is proposed to give the spectators an opportunity of seeing a native feast partaken of in the true Fijian style.
