Ucated and intelligent men, and have nothing in common with the Boer. I
have one particular Landdrost in my mind as I write. He was a dear old
man, but he was dead against Kaffirs and natives generally. His father
had been killed by Kaffirs, and this fact probably rankled in his bosom
and ruled his judgments to a great extent. When he wanted to show a
little bit of leniency, as, for instance, after an extraordinarily good
breakfast, he would bind the culprit over to serve in his own kitchen
for a period of one year without remuneration. But he never did get a
native to serve the full time, because the native preferred to break the
law once more and go to 'tronk' instead. Hard work was not in his line.
He is dead now, poor man! but he was a regular type of a Landdrost. He
lived a very quiet life, and the brunt of the work fell to the lot of
the ever-willing and conscientious clerk, which arrangement allowed the
Landdrost sufficient leisure to attend to a somewhat large garden. There
were fruit trees in that garden which in the fruit season incited every
boy in town to deeds of valour, the said deeds consisting in being able
to carry away as much fruit as possible without being caught in the act.
For the Landdrost exercised a watchful eye over that fruit. It was
currently reported, however, that his was the first garden to be
literally left desolate before the season had far advanced, and it was
usually his misfortune to be deprived of his fruit just after he had
retired for the night, after having prowled about with an empty gun in
his hand from sunset till late in the evening. It was even reported that
one evening, after the old man had retired as usual, a certain person
who had a strong predilection for other people's fruit approached the
Landdrost's garden with a handcart and a lantern, and assisted himself
freely before taking his departure. In conclusion, and as an
illustration of the moral tendencies of young Boers generally, I shall
now quote a little scene which was written some time ago for another
purpose. In a mealie-field close to a certain farm, which shall be
nameless, a curious scene was being witnessed by a very stout Dutch
lady. She was standing at the edge of the field. Above her head myriads
of locusts floated in a darkening mass. The meali
