Lieutenant lamar, United States

fessor of strategy and instructor of mil
itary tactics In the State University.
All this, and the wonderful cheap
ness of the institution, with the recent
removal of the deaf and dumb to other
quarters, which leaves the University
in full and entire possession of the
large building, of some 80 commodious
rooms, capable of accommodating some
$50 cadets, after leaving some 90 large
rooms for lecture, recitation and other
purposes; ali this, wo think, will show
that the State University, at Baton
Rouge, is in good condition for good
work the coming year.

the so-called constitution Of 1865 as a
relic of past disorder, wrong and mill
tary oppression. When the constitu-
ton will have been adopted, it will
naturally become our duty to put 1t
into successful, practical operation. 1t
will be necessary to adapt the statute
ry law of the State to the great changes
which will have been effected; to pass
new laws upon the various subjects
indicated in the constitution, and to
maintain and advance the general re-
forms which the instrument designed
to set on foot. Certainly this will be a
great work, worthy Of most devoted
labors.
1t is scarcely necessary. however, for
me to add that it cannot prosper un-
less faithful and capable men are
brought forward and assume the
cares of legislative, magisterial and
judicial position. Never before has
the State made q more urgent demand.
Let it be our duty to see that it is an
swered; to have called out suitable cam
didates before the people; to have the
Legislature paid properly, and to seat
upon the bench those who are learned
the same time sufficiently brave to en-
force the law. In a word, let us put
trust in those only who are really
patriots, and see to it that our model
constitution is administered by a gov
ernment, itself a model. postpone
for such occasion as may appear suita-
BILE, and such as will be proper to the
grave responsibilities which seem to
await me, as the principal chosen rep
resentative of the political party, pos
sessing an unbounded majority of the
voters, further expression relating to
public affairs.
Born in Louisiana and descended
from parents themselves natives, am
identified with the whole people by
every interest of my existence. I have
spent within this State the years OF my
youth and manhood, and contracted
here oil the ties x,,biota ire most GU
dearing to man. Having engaged ac-
lively in public life, I have applied
myself to the study of the public men
of the times, the resources and pros
poets, the embarrassments, the diff
culties and dangers which surround the
States. L have pondered the great
problems the solution of which will de.
volve upon the administration which,
according to every probability, it will
become my duty to direct, and have
determined to meet them with single.

TOO MUCH EXODUS.
lCincinnati Enquirer I

Kansas has got the exodus belly
ache. A convention of delegates to
the Wyandott and Kansas City relief
committee have passed the following
resolutions:
HWhereas, we have reason to expect
a renewal of the emigration of colored
people from Southern to Northern
States as soon as restrictions on travel
are removed and
Whereas, the resources at the dis
posal of the relief committee repre-
sented in this convention are nearly
exhausted, and we feel our inability to
further meet the demands upon them
to care for additional numbers OF dcsti-
tute emigrants; therefore
"Resolved, That, with desire to
prevent want and suffering among
the colored emigrants, we hereby ex-
press our opinion that proper means
should be taken to direct the tide of
immmigration into other and Older
States, where accumulated wealth and
population afford facilities for their
successful settlement"
Certain political promoters of the eX
odus have designated Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois as the stother and older
States'' where the colored immigrants
may become charges on "accumulated
wealth. until their s'successful settle
ment." They are wanted as voters in
those States to offset the assertions of
white voters constantly going on from
the Republican party. We rather
think, if the exodus is of any extent,
"accumu1ated wealth" in the States
designated will get the belly-ache also
long before the colored emigrants are
successfully settled.

and then deserted body of cavalry on
the ridge opposite the kraal. This was
Major Marter, who was commanding
q party of dragoons. He had received
Lord Gifford's intelligence, and mov-
ing down on the opposite side effected
the Kings capture.
At 2 O'Clock p. NJ, too sore to ride
and too footsore TO WALL, Cetewayo was
brought to the camp in an ambulance
cart. On the road his followers tried
to escape, and five were shot.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Cetewayo behaved like a King in
his downfall. Lord Clifford, with his
white cavalry and natives, got within
four miles of the kraal where the Zulu
King was at daybreak, and there lay
in ambush, fearing to advance across
the open ground, and waiting for the
night to make the attack, lest the King
should see and escape into the bush,
which borders the kraal within a hun
dred yards on the north side. Lord
Clifford was on the southeast side. In
the meantime Maj. Marter, with the
Kings Dragon Guards, appeared on
the northeast and was seen by the
King, but was not feared, the King
thinking the cavalry in the bad ground

warning. Maj. Marter, however, had
stripped the saddles and left the scab-
bards behind. Disappearing from view,
he stole up noisclessly through the
bush. The Native Contingent, whom
he had concealed, were put in advance,
and they were able to move more rap
idly than the horses. These men dashed
out of the bush and surrounded the
kraal, saying: ".The white man is COM
ing you are caught.' Mai. Marter
then rode up and dismounted, entered
the kraal, and coming straight to the
hut in which the King was, called on
him to come forth and surrender. The
King feared, and said, "No, you come
unto me;" but Marter was infiexible,
and the King, creeping out, stood up
among the dragons with stately COM
posure. A dragoon sought to lay his
hands upon him, but he waived the
man back disdainfully, saying, "White
soldier, let me be-" He then asked to
be shot. The Kings bearing on the
march between the lines of the Sixtieth
Regiment into his tent in tho camp at
Ulundi was dignified and calm. Wear
ing red blanket about his breast in
the manner OF a Roman toga, he step
ped slowly, looking round with head
thrown back and hauty gaze ut the
soldiers around. When captured he
asked the rank of the officer who had
taken him. He treated the Native
Contingent contemptuously.

CErEwAYO's CAPTURE.


CUlundi Corr. London Times.l
Cetewayo is captured. For more than
a week Captain Lord Clifford, taking
his life in his hand, tracked the King
day and night with the persistence of q
sleuthhound, through the most untrod-
den wilds of Zululand.
His party, at times reduced to q mere
handful, relied for provisions on food
obtained from natives who were but
lately in aims. Led by information
from the same force, they pressed the
King hard, and captured his attend
ants, including his gun-bearer, who
had with him q valuable rifle.
Foiled in his attempt to break through
our tolls to the coast, Cetewayo doubled
back to the Ngome Forrest, Lord Gif-
the 9th of August he took Cetewayo's
sleeping mat at a kraal where the
King had slept. Two lads were found
there, and, as they denied all knowl-
edge of Cetewayo's whereabouts, they
were blindfolded, and volley fired Ia
the air. The ruse succeeded, and one,
exclaiming, "My brother Is shot,"
promised to lead Clifford to the Kings
retreat.
Led by this boy he threaded the de-
files of the forest at night, and, after
wild, perilous ride, reached at dawn of
the 2sth the spot, which was in an open
glade.
Fearing the escape of the King to the
surrounding forest, Clifford sent back
intelligence and waited till night to
make the capture. While lying hidden
he watched the King slaughter an OK,
and then deserted body of cavalry on
the ridge opposite the kraal. This was
Major Marter, who was commanding
q party of dragoons. He had received
Lord Gifford's intelligence, and mov-
ing down on the opposite side effected
the Kings capture.

EDISON AND HIS BUG.
How the Great Inventor En-
plOys Himself in Moments
of Relaxation,

New York Correspondence OF the indianapolis
Journal.
One of my letters spoke of the posi-
bility Of utalizing the present gas-pipcs
by running the electric wires through
them. GLOW Is this wonderful Edison
going to get his wires through the pipes,
should like to knOwy' asked an unbe-
lever.
Edison thought 1t over.
"Why, see here, Johnstony" he cX
claimed the next morning, an make Il
bug that will drag II wire through all
the pipes in New York"
"Make bug?" said Johnston: "what
in the world are you talking abouty"
"Well, I'll make u bug" said Edison;
IAN iron hug that will 20 where you
send 1t, and drag II wire after it,
His assistants drew around while he
described his coming-or, rather his go
ing--bug. Next day he Matched u rude
specimen Of the insect rs large Ms u coat
button. And 1t stood out on the table
and crawlrd.
It was constructed thus; A minute
electromagnetic carried behind II Il fine,
insulated wire, the umaturc of the mag
net operating n friction pawl. Now,
observe, every time the circuit Is closed
through the magnet the armature Is at-
traCted, the pawl clutches the sides of
the gas-pipe with It's claws, and the mag
net behind Is drawn toward the arma-
turc about sixteenth Of an inch. When
the circuit Is opened, the armature
reaches forward ready to take second
step. Thus, ut every closing of the cir
cult, the little magnet advances one step,
and drags forward the insulated wlre.-
This description will be, perhaps, incom
prchcnsible to non-expcrts, but more
people know something of electricity
than formerly did, and every telegraph
operator will understand how this iron
bug reaches out It's amOture claws and
crawls around gas-plpc.
"Now, don't misunderstood this"
said Edison; ''lt Isn't ut all likely It will
ever be used to tread gus pipes; | have
