Captain Cameron, in tho course of an interview published in Great Thoughts, expresses the strongest opinion aa to the immense development which is awaiting Africa. He says : ■' It has a bigger future than America, Australia, or India. It is the richest of all, but, of course, everything depends on manage, mont. Take South Africa, for instance. It is very like Australia. Already the Native* have begun nibbling at the Idea of flocks and herds, but the curse out there is that of political mismanagement and the diversity of aims between the English. Dutch and Boer colonists and the Englishmen who become Africanders, Years ago 1 propused chartered C-im-panies, but Lord Beaconsfield was afraid of the Radicals. "Vve simply waut concessions which will enable us to work the country. The Congo State should become a Belgian Colony, and the unoccupied lands should beoome State land?. Ivory and indiarubber, fibre, gums, every tropical and subtropical fruit are there in the richest profusion. Indeed, I consider that in Africa will be the coffee and tea fields of the future ; and there is really sn admirable climate. The Europeans could bring up their children well there. The natives are very teachable. Even the hitherto wild tnbes are already drilled into good police, engineers, rivetters, &c. Take my word for it, Afrioa is the hope of the future, and will be the salvation of an overcrowded world."

I What appeared to be a gross case of cruelty on the part of a son towards his aged father came under the review of the Mslvern bene 1 ! (Victoria) on Saturday, April 8.

That morning witness found him outside his son's shop, and was req«ested to remove him "as a nuisance.' The son, in whining tones, informed the bench that his father had benn a burden to him since 1886. He had got him several situations, but he never kept them any length of time. Mr O'Kears: Hag he any means of support? YJitaess : No. MrO'Meara :Do yon want Mm sent to eaol ? Witness ; Tea. Mr O'Meara said he hoped there would j soon be a law passed to compel people j tke the witness to support their aßed P'irents. _ Aeoused : When I asked you tiiis moraine for a piece of bread did you cfdl me a " dirty old pagabond ? Witness d-d not answer. Mr OMeara: Did you refuse him broad 1 Witness: I did, air. A censed said he had not broken hu fast sine* noon on Friday. Mr Forfonge, as a;nfciw curia, mentioned that he was informed by the solicitors at the table that tire witness, when sued for illegal detention on the previous Court day, did not dony having received the last £3 earned by his father.
