NEWS FROM THE CAPE. ] CAPK TOWN, Oct. '2 (via Madeira).—Fighting Commenced in the Transkei on the 24th Septem- ber, when the Gatekas attacked the Fongoes and 120 police at South Mapassa. They subsequently retired, however, with a loss of about 200 men. On Sept. 29th 8000 Gatekas attacked the camp at Ibeka. After four hours' fighting the assailants were repulsed and pursued for a distance of two miles. Since then there has been no serious fighting. The loss on the British tide in all the engagements has been one officer killed and six men wounded. There is no truth in the report that the Grikas are disaffected. All the adjacent tribes remain loyal. The Custom returns for Cape Colony dur- ing September last show an increase of 14 per cent., as compared with September, 1876. The ship Inch Kenneth, owned by the Clutha Shipping Company, Glasgow, foundered off Cape' St. Francis on September 24th. Only the first and second officers and six of the crew were saved. The captain died from exposure. The survivors were brought to Cape Town by the ship Liverpool. Donald Currie and Co's steamer Stettin is ap- pointed to leave Cape Town on Oct. 3, with troops and stores for East London. Two hundred men of the 88th Regiment had left Simons Bay, in H.M.S. Active, to land if necessary at Mazeppa Bay to attack the Krelis army in the rear. Sir Bartle Frere and Lieut.-goner al Sir Arthur Cunninghame, Commander of the Forces, were both present at the scene of the disturbance. The fighting between the Gatekas and Fongoes had not been very serious. Two hundred police took part in the last fight with satisfactory results.

It is stated that Sir James Hannen will be ap- pointed Lord Justice of Appeal in place of Sir 11. P. Amphlett, and that Baron Huddleston will succeed Sir James Hannen in the Probate and Divorce Division. Vanity Fair hears that the Empress of Austria will be seen in the hunting field again this season, and that the Pytchley will have the principal honour of her Majesty's company, whose head- quarters will he at Cotteshrooke. A number of tlistinguished foreigners are likowise expected. Another death from hydrophobia has occurred at Oxford. An inquest was held at the Iimrmar;\ w on Monday on the body of Willoughby Lr\ an a.rd. aged five years, son of a bandmaster m the militia. A strange dog entered the garden on the 16th of September, and, jumping on the boy s breast, bit a piece out of his left cheek. He was taken the same day to the Infirmary, and left the institution on the 10th October, apparently cured. On the 18th inst. symptoms of hydrophobia were observed, and he was re-admitted to the Infir- mary, where he died on Sunday in great agony. A verdict of Death from hydrophobia was rp turned. Ann Venables, domestic servant, employed by Thomas Wilkinson, farmer, Kinderton, wnt- charged at the Middlewich Sessions, on Monday, with attempting to poison her master. On the 10th inst. tea, which had been made by the pri soner for her master and mistress's breakfast, contained a quantity of "Vermin Killer." The prisoner, when charged with the offence, for it time denied all knowledge of the poisonous sub stance. She ultimately said to the prosecutor tlm; if he would forgive her she would confess tin truth. She then admitted that she had put -it, vermin killerintothe tea. Prisoner was discharge.' for want of evidence. The sudden dea.th is announced of Mr. E. M. Fenwick, of Burrow Hall, near Lancaster. Mr. Fenwick formerly represented Lancaster ir Parliament, and was a magistrate for Lancash e and Westmoreland.
FACET HE.
FACET HE. No other living thing can go so slow as a boy on an errand. AN ANACHRONISTIC PUN.Adam was married on his wedding Eve. A wise doctor always keeps his temper even if he loses his patients. Why is a duel quickly managed? Because it he loses his patients. Why is a duel quickly managed? Because it ¡ takes only two seconds to arrange it. Why ought a lady's home dress to last a long while? Because she never wears it out. A METAPHYSICAL CONUNDRUM.—What is that which increases the effect by reducing the cause ? A pair of snuffers. A teacher fainted at school, and a little girl, describing it at home, said, She was so fainted, they couldn't come her to!" The authorities of a certain city will not permit a peal of laughter to be indulged in in the public I streets, for fear some one may slip on the peal and hurt himself. MARBIED.—"Waiter!" cried an irritable guest at a restaurant, this wine is detestable. It is not the Widow Cliquot." Well, sir, I'm sure I don't know. Very likely she's married again." THE LATEST MOVE.—Young men of the middle I class are getting so shy and hard to catch that parents will have to begin to offer chromos along with their marriageable daughters.—London paper. A passenger on an ocean steamer, who was charged an exorbitant price by the steward for a lot of extra pies and tarts, remarked that the pie-rates of the deep are, of course, always detest- able." "I put my gold locket and chain on Ponto," said a little girl, and sent him out in the street, and when he came back be didn't bring 'em home with him. I haven't as much faith in dogs as I had!" An ill-bred merchant, on a stranger's asking him for some information, said: f ou'd better ask the porter, sir." Pardon me," was the cut- ting reply, I supposed that I was addressing the porter." GREEN PEAs.-There is a man who is said to be so fond of green peas that he goes down to Algeria every January to meet them, and he follows the growth until he winds up at Aberdeen in the autumn. LIKE A WHALE.—A music publisher has issued the "White Whale March." We should like to see a white whale march. There must be a con- siderable blubber in such a performance.—Ameri- can paper. Nature has written honest man all over his countenance," said a partisan, pointing to his favourite party orator. "Humph!" sneered a political opponent, "then Nature must write a wretchedly poor hand!" Madam," said a photographer to an old lady, whv do you persist in moving so near the camera?" Why, you see, Mr. Pictur'-man, I'm so near-sighted I'm afraid I won't take a good pictur' if I'n stuck so far off." The trouble with you is," said a man to his wife" that you're one of those persons who always go on and fret." Granted," said the wife; "and the trouble with you is, that you always stop and fret, while I go on." A Massachusetts paper says that on a grave- stone at South Seabrook in that State is the fol- lowing inscription: Be she dead—are she gone -is I left here all alone-yes, I is, cruel fate, how unkind to take she and leave I behind:" The ability of an absent person being under discussion at a dinner party, one of the guests drew his finger around the rim of his wine glass and said: That's the range of his intellect, only it never had anything half so good in it." I BETTER By FAR. — A tobacconist named Far had the following painted over his shop, The best tobacco by Far." A rival tobacconist on the other side of the street, not to be outdone, painted up-" Far better tobacco than the best tobacco by Far." It seems to me," said a customer to his barber, that in these hard times you ought to put down your price for shaving." "Can't do it," replied the barber. Now-a-days everybody wears such a long face that we have a great deal more surface to shave over." An old bachelor was courting a widow, and both sought the aid of art to give to their fading hair a darker shade. That's going to be an affectionate couple," said a wag. "How so?" asked a friend. ".Why, don't you see that they are dyeing for each already?" A rich but parsimonius old man, on being taken to task for his uncharitableness, said: True, I don't give much; but if you only knew how it hurts me when I give anything you wouldn't wonder. I am in hopes to feel different when I inherit brother Bill's property." SWEET BEVENOE.—" My dear boy," said a mother to her son, as he handed round his plate for more turkey, this is the fourth time you've been helped!" "I know, mother," replied the boy, but that turkey pecked at me once, and I want to get square with him." He got his turkey. A pair of lovers were wandering in the moon- light. "Ah, love!" she murmured, "why do summer roses fade?" He was a young chemist, and practical, and he replied: "I.suppose it's owing to a deficiency of nutriment in the soil, and an insufficiency of oxygen in the atmosphere." "It is a very unclerical practice, and, I must say, a very uncleanly one. Tobacco Why, sir, even a hog would not smoke it." Doctor (, I replied his amused listener, "do von smoke tobacco?" "I? No, sir! he answered, gruffly, with great indignation. Then, pray, who is the hog, you or I?" "WHAT'S IT'S REAL VALUE?"—"The Price She Paid is the title of a new novel. We don't know what the article was, but it is safe to sav if she bought it at an auction, and another woman there was desirous of becoming the Owner also, the price she paid was more than four times as much as it was worth.—American paper. A herculean Yankee, from the lumber districts of Maine, on paying his bill in a London restau- rant, was informed that the amount paid didn't include the waiter. "Wal," he roaied, "what ef it don't! I didn't eat any waiter, did I?" And he glared at the attendants so ferociously that they precipitately left him to go his way in peace. A couple of friends who had rushed into an entry on hearing the cry of Mad dog! came out after & while, when one said to the other: "I never saw'any one as scared as you were. Why, you turned as white as my shirt! Did I? he replied, at the same time examining his friend's bosom, and then sneeringlv adding: "I can easily imagine that I turned as white as that!" TREATMENT.—The knocker is plied at Dr. A 's house with much vigour at one a.m. The doctor opens the window. "Who's there?" "It's me. Mr. B- is very ill. Come quick!" "What's wrong with him?" "The same disease that carried off his wife and children last week." The doctor, being the family physician, said, Give him the same treatment, and if there is any change come again." i The Vie ParUienue thus describes a modern lady's dress: "She wears a cravate and cuffs of old point lace, like Monsieur de Lauzun, a Pif- ferari hat, Polish boots, Louis XIV. dresses, a Catherine de Medici aumoniere. a Madame de Maintenon mantle, a Marie Antoinette fichu, a Spanish mantilla, Queen of Navarre gloves, sultana veil, and nabob's golden cloth skirts. This modern fashion is a potpourri of all fashions, all nations, and all times. TECHNICAL.—" Young man, where have yon been^? said an angry father to his son, who came m aoout eleven o'clock, after his first evening with his boyhood's fair charmer. Been to a committee meeting of the general court," was the reph. Then the old gentleman remembered when he was a boy, changed his tone, and re- marked, \Vell, I suppose they will report pro- gress, advance the subject one stage, and pretty socn will go into the regular night sessions. American paper. n LIFE AND PHILOSOPHY.—A college professor was being rowed across the stream in a boat. Said he to the boatman, Do you understand philosophy ?jj "No; never heard of it. "Then one quarter ot j our life is gone. Do you understand geologv' "No." "Then one half your life is gone. "'Do you understand astronomy?" "No." "Then three-quarters of your life is gone." But presenth the boat tipped over and spilled both into the river. Said the boatman, "Can you swim? No." "Then the whole of ycurlifo is gone." During the past nine months the amount of fresh meat received from abroad was 376,000 cwt.; in the corresponding term of last year the receipts were only 77,584 cwt. The respective values were «1,031,025 and £ 211,167.

UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE.
UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE. The annual meeting of the Council of the United Kingdom Alliance waa held on Tuesday morning at the Friends' Meeting House, Mount-street, Manchester, Mr. B. Whitworth, M.P., presiding. TJiere was a large gathering of members and friends, among those present being Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Bart., M.P., Sir George Brooke Pechell, Bart., Mr. Samuel Pope, Q.G., the Rev. Charles Garrett (Liverpool), the Rev. John Jones (London), Mr. Henry Wigham (Dublin;, and the Rev. T. Hutton fStilton). Mr. SAMUEL POPE, Q.C., the hon. secretary, read the annual report, which took about half an hour in the reading. The committee stated that the legis ative results of the session in regard to the liquor laws had not been important, but in the development of parlia- mentary opinion, and in the exhibition of parliamentary interest and anxiety upon the temperance question, the past year had been a remarkable one. But it was by no means within the walls of Parliament that the most important manifestations of the progress of public opinion must be looked for. A restless sense of the necessity to do something seemed to be generally felt, even bv those members who were not usually supposed to be favourable to temperance effort; but. outside Parliament, the growth of an opinion favourable in principle to Sir Wilfrid Lawson s bill could not reason- ably be doubted. The general operations of the Alliance, as more directly promoted by the committee during the past year, had been of so multiform and extended a character that it was not possible than do more than briefly glance at them. Indeed the weekly organ of the movement was not able to adequately reflect the growing activities and extended operations directed and sustained by the committee, with their staff of fifty agents, lecturers, and other stipendiaries working in the movement. The .public meetings during the year had been marked by great and growing interest on the part of the intelligent and influential citizens in the various localises, whilst the enthusiasm of the masses therein appealed to had also, if possible, been manifest. In a number of the boroughs which had been specially selected as most .'igible and promising, a special electoral canvass had been promoted, and in all cases the result had been of an encouraging kind. The constituencies canvassed, so far, had been principally in England and Scotland; in the latter country the canvass has been directed by the Executive of the Scottish Permissive Hill Associa- tion, workinv in co-operation with the committee. It is hoped that during the coming year this most important; branch of the work of temperance reform will be st:ll more earnestly and extensively prosecuted, in view of the next general election. It is most important that in each and every constituency there should be a com- pact organised body "f temperance electors, pledged to act in unison, and to vote lor such candidates as will promise to support the principle of the Permissive Bill of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Dy voting for its second read- ing; or for some equivalent measure that will give the people in each community the power to exercise a direct local veto over the liquor traffic. The progress of the movement in the metropolitan district had been significantly marked. In every metropolitan con- stituency, ten in all, comprising upwards of 200,000 electors, a Permissive Bill Association existed, the tenth of the number having been established during the year in the city of London, under the presidency of Mr. Alderman M'Arthur, M.P., and managed by an influential committee. The movement in Scotland continued to exhibit conspicuous indications of solid and substantial progress. The agitation, under the direction of the Scottish Permissive Bill and Tem- perance Association, had been vigorously main- tained by public demonstrations, meetings, conferences, and the electoral canvass. In view of further legisla- tion for Scotland on the liquor traffic and the next general election, the leading friends had determined that special exertions should be made to develope the registration of all electors, in the various constituencies, prepared to place the Permissive Bill issue in the froat of their political programme. To carry out this objeet a special fund was instituted at the last meeting of the Association, in Glasgow, with considerable pros- pects of success. The various religious bodies in Scotland were becoming more decided in their ap- proval of legislative action against the liquor traffic. Not the least hopeful indication of progress was the fact that among various sections of temperance re- formers there was now little diversity of opinion as to the nature of the legislation required to grapple with the liquor traffic; and there was reason to believe that the temperance party were prepared to combine their resources in an energetic movement against the whole liquor traffic. Altogether the movement in Scotland was never in so satisfactory and encouraging a condition as at present. In Ireland the main activities and energies of temperance reformers have been directed towards the movement for securing the adoption of the Irish Sunday Closing Bill but the other departments of the work had not been overlooked or neglected. There has been a most remarkable and gratifying consensus of public opinion in support of Dr. Smyth's bill, and there con Id be little doubt that next session of Parliament would see all factious obstruction removed, and the measure become law. The temperance movement in all :ts phases had perhaps made more real and solid progress throughout the world during the past year than in any previous single year. In America this was empha- tically true. Dealing with the Alliance finances, the report stated that the cash balance sheet testified to the continued and noble liberality of the members and friends of the Alliance, who, notwithstanding the long-continued severe commercial depression, and tue exceptionally urgent and special claims upon puolic and private philanthropy, had generously contributed upwards of JE15,800 in support of the operations of the Alliance through the general fund. The aggregate amount received during the year from all sources, ex- clusive ot the balance from last year, was JE20,350, while the amount expended and paid up to the 30th September was £ 20,300, leaving a balance of cash in the bank and in hand of £2,526. In the evening a public meeting was held at tht Free Trade Hall, under the presidency of the Mayor of Manchester, Alderman Heywood. Resolutions ex- pressing hearty approval of Sir Wilfrid Lawson's efforts in behalf of the Permissive Bill, and urgirip t'u: necessity for passing that measure, in order to relieve the country from the deplorable results of the liiiuor traffic, were carried. The meeting was addressed by Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Mr. A. M. Sullivan, M.P. Pro*, fessor Newman, and other speakers.
