Labor in the South,

In an official report on Southern labor
it is asserted that the number of acres of
cotton cultivated had increased between
1871 and 1878 from about 7 800, 900 acres
to more than IL, ,0O0,O 900 acres. Between
1869 and 1878 there was an increase of
more than 100000 in the number Of
cattle and swine. 1t is estimated by
Representative Whitthorne that more
than $2OO000,000 worth of Southern
labor products enter into the purchase
of New England, New York, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania. The gross earn
ings of the railroads of Southern States
are placed at S42, 927, ,594 per annum, and
it is held that all the principal cities and
towns of the South have increased de-
cidedly in population, and that there is
a constant and general growth Of manu-
featuring establishments.

How Eugenie,s Son Was Killed.

A correspondent gives the following
statement of Leetocf, one of the troopers
with the French Prince Imperial when
he met his death at the hands of the
Zulus, in South Africa:
went about twenty miles from Kop-
pie Allen. When we were crossing the
site of the present camp, the neck be-
tween lncenci and Inqutu ranges, some
officers overlook us. They went to the
left, and we went to the right. We
crossed a spruit, and went up o fiat
topped hill, where we slackened girths,
the Prince sketching. The kraal We
came to last was about fifty yards above
the river. Here the Prince told us to
otf-saddle, and then the Kafir was sent
into the hut to see if any one was there.
He went down afterward to the river
for some water and we had coffee. After
an hour the Prince ordered us to saddle
up. When we had all saddled up he
asked, "Are you all ready?" and we said
Yes" He then said, mount" and Just
rs were springing to our saddles the
volley was fired from the mealies. We
had gone to that very place to catch
our horses. When we were saddling
up, the Kalir, who had been to the
river to water the horses, said he
had seen n Zulu going up the river

fired. dropped my carbine and had to

Willis could not catch up to us, and
asked Lieut.. Carey to wait for them. He
said: "We will cross the spruit and wait

Grubbe and Willis were 300 yards be-

A Strange Fee,

The famous DIR. Fothergill was once,
by his own election, very strangely re-
compensed for his professional services.
A merchant vessel arriving in the Lon
don docks with captain and crew down
with yellow fever, DR.. Fothergill re-
moved the captain to his own house,
and succeeded in pulling him through.
At first, Fothergil refused to accept
any payment at all; but the grateful
seaman persisting in rewarding him, he
said there was one thing he could do for
him-if he were making voyage to the
East, and passed through the Straits of
Macassar, he should be glad if he would
bring him two barrelfuls of the earth of
Borneo. This the captain readily prom
ised to do. However, when he reached
the spot on the voyage out, his heart
failed him; and fearing to incur the
ridicule of his men, he sailed through
the straits without fulfilling his
promise. Returning by the same route,
the same thing happened; but after
he had left the straits two hundred
miles behind him, his conscience smote
him for his ingratitude, and putting the
ships head about, he made for Borneo
and took in the earth. When Fother-
gill received it, he had piece of ground
prepared by the burning of the surface,
and laid the Borneo earth upon it; and
in due time had the satisfaction Of MAX
ing the acquaintance of alnumber of Curl
Gus plants new to him.

Major Pinto, the African explorer, met
with many strange adventures and saw
some curious scenes during his recent
expedition through the interior of the
great continent. AT the extremity of
the Kalahari Desert, "'he says, eve met
with the great Macaricari.' The great
Macaricari is the most extraordinary
thing that exists in Africa. At times it
is lake full of water. At other times
it is dry, being covered with layer of
salt. Why the lake at times contains
water and at other times does not cannot
be accounted for, as the rainy seasons
do not satisfactorily explain the two
facts. The great Macaricari communi-
Gates with Lake Ngami by means of the
River Matobele, which Baines says
flows to the east, and Livingstone re-
presents as flowing to the west. Both
explorers are right, because. accordingly
as the rains fall into the Matobele or
are abundant in the Cubango, the waters
oscillate from one side to the other, a
fact. perhaps, without n parallel in the
world The Ngami and the great Maca-
ricari are nothing but the overhowings
of the Cubango, which at last loses
itself in the desert by evaporation.
