 The South Africans, like most other uncivilized races, deal largely in magical arts, the pharmacopoeia of the Caffrarian medico rests on the basis of witchcraft, nd as rain is a matter of supreme importance in a region subject to desolating droughts, the "rain-maker" is a recognized professional. We have borrowed a portion of the above details from the Standard of the 30th ult. We are indebted for our portrait of Kreli to Mr. Charles Cowen, of Port Elizabeth.
