The Terrible Strain OF the Zulu War.
A friend writing to me from Zululand,
who has had great experience in con-
valescent camps, says that he has never
met with so many soldiers prostrated
with extreme nervous debility as he
| finds at Martizburg, and that their agi-
tation and unrest battles the ordinary
modes of treatment. | can account for
this. The Zulu war has been war in
which an extraordinary mental strain
has been superadded to no ordinary
amount of hardship. To say that the
battle of Isandlana established "scare"
would not be going too far. Here was
an enemy who might attack at any time
in overwhelming numbers, who would
march straight up to the mouths of u
battery of field pieces, who knew no fear
and would show no mercy. To conduct
a campaign successfully against such an
enemy as this necessitated vigilance of
the most incessant kind. A few mo-
mems delay, if an attack should be
made, would be fatal = fatal not
only to the force in n military sense
but also to the lives of the greater
number of those composing it. To sleep
in your boots; to have your ammuni-
tion at hand, so that it is impossible for
it to be mislaid; to have your rife so
placed that it is the hrst thing your
hand touches as you spring from the
ground; to sleep underneath wagon
upon earth sodden with rain or under
meath frosty starlight-all this is try
ing, even to the hardest. The men get
used to it, but still it tells upon them.
Heads which went into Zululand with a
mere sprinkling of gray hair came back
with a goodly growth. How gray he
has grown!" is a remark heard every
day with regard to men who have been

Live TOads inITrees and stones.

A large toad was found a few years
ago in an old apple tree at Wonham
Manor; it came to light when the tree
was blown down. The Memories of
the French Academic DIES Sciences con-
tain description of living toad found
in the heart of an old elm tree. Near
Nantes, when an old oak was cleft open,
q toad was found in the very heart

channel of entrance could be detected !;
there were about ninety rings in the
trunk of this oak, leading to the infer

animal must have been in his prison.
house ninety years. Mr.. Jesse, in refer
ence to q frog found in the trunk of n
mulberry tree, expressed a belief that
the annual rings had been gradually but
surely inclosing the reptile. Toads in
clay have been more frequently met
with than in trees; sometimes a whole
family have been thus ferreted out
at once. I'm 1856 n toad was found
at a considerable depth at Benthall,
near Brosloy, Shropshire. Mr.. Bath

met with about six feet beneath the sur

NihiIist Vengeance.

The Moscow Gazette publishes the fol-
lowing: A young man, nineteen
years old, named Nicholas Gorinevich,
a student at the Gymnasium of Kieff,
was induced to join the Nihilist circles.
But what he saw and heard created such
horror and repugnance in his breast
that he Withdrew from them. His
former associates became alarmed lest he
should betray them, and the case hav-
ing been referred TO the executive COM
mittee he was sentenced to death. Sus-
pecting that his life was in danger he
fled to Odessa but he could not so easily
escape. He was induced one evening to
go to a rendezvous in q retired place,
and was there set upon by several per-
sons, who lett him for dead. To pre-
vent his recognition one of the assailants
poured quantity of vitriol over his
face. In this condition he was found
seemed to be still alive they conveyed
him to a hospital, where he was so well
cared for that after some time he was
able to be removed to st. Petersburg,
where an inquiry into the Nihilistic
pI IOpaganda was going on. His right
hand and leg were paralyzed ard his
face presented an awful appearance.
The acid had quite consumed the greater
part of the flesh; nose, ears, hair were
quite gone, and he had lost his sight
utterly. He tried to put an end to his
lot but was prevented. At last a phi
lanthropic person obtained permission
to remove him to his estate in the
country, where, it is said. he now seems
more reconciled with his lot.

A Modern Ruth.

A pretty story was told some time ago
in an exchange: A young lady from
the South was wooed and won by a
young Californian physician. About
the time the wedding was to come of,
the young man lost his entire fortune.
He wrote the lady letter releasing her
from her engagement. And what does
that dear, good girl do? Why, she takes
a lump of gold which her lover had sent
her in his prosperity as a keepsake, and,
having it manufactured into ring, for
wal DIS it to him with the following in
scriptiol: "Entreat me not to leave thee,
or TO return from following after thee I;
for whittier thou goest, will go; and
where thou lodgest, will lodge; thy
people shall be my people, and thy God
my Goo; where thou diest, will die,
and there will be buried; the Lord do
so to me, and more also, if aught but
death part thee and me-" We may add
that fortune again smiled on the young
physician, and that he subsequently re-
turned TO the South to wed the sweet
girl he loved. and who loved him with
such undying affection. Readers, this is
ali true. Young ladies who read the
Bible az closely as the heroine of this
incident seems to have done are pretty
sure to make good sweethearts, and bet
ter wives.

A Noted British Beau,y-The Jersey LII,

A Noted British Beauty-The Jersey Lily.
When the town came to look at her it
found she was indeed beautiful. She
possessed wonderful eyes of hmpid,
transparent blue, which always wore q
winning expression. She was observed
to be extremely modest in her dress, very
quiet and unassuming in her manner,
and discreet in all her actions. Jealousy
was disarmed, admiration increased and
Mrs. Langtry became one of those sig hts
ofthe town which the Spring Captain I"
yearns to see, and for which country
cousins make long pilgrimages by rail-
way. " 1t seems but yesterday" says a
recent number of Vanity Fair, "when
as bride she appeared in the park and
set 10000 tongues a-wagging. Since then
she has played foremost part in the
battle of life, and this bravely and well.
You are spellbound by her ineffable
sweetness before you have exchanged
hardly dozen words with her. Every
well-bred woman is OF course free from
gene, but this one is gifted with deli
cious manner, simple and sympathetic as
that wherewith mentally we endow
'Mignon,' and she talks at once so pref
tily and so musically that you are insen-
sibly impressed with the idea of her
absolute sincerity. The bright, ringing
treble; the light. springy step; the hap .
py halcyon view of life characteristic of
girlhood are still hers. Above all, she
is kindness itself incarnate. At Glas-
Cow, where-that goes without the say
ing-she was the cynosure, she astonished
the cannY Scotch by her generous i'm
partiality. The plain and unattractive
partner claimed her hand in the ball
room and he was not refused, though
Adonis stood at her elbow awaiting his
chance. Lily like in every fiber, she has
has been flattered and followed, caressed
and made much of, more than any living
woman. She has remained, however, the
same, true to the gentle emblem forever
hers, the Jersey Lily"

The experience of Mr.. Eastman being similar TO

thrlingy narrated in the Neio York Herald of Dec.
18th, 1873, the facts Of which are so widely
known, and so nearly parallel, that but little mem

here, They are, however, published In a neat vol

Among the Comanches and Apaches," of which
mention will be made hereafter. Suffice 1t to say,
that for several years, Mr.. Eastman, while a cap

medicine was made, and is still prepared to pro-
vide the SAME materials for the successful intro
duction of the medicine to the world; and assures

ANOTHER WAR.
THIS TIME ON THE PACIFIC.
The Italian Coal Burners Make 1t
Warm for a SherifPs Posse
Several Killed and Many
Wounded.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-An Eureka
dispatch says the coal war has broken
out afresh. A sheriff's posse attacked
coal ranch at Fish creek, sometime
between Sunday and dark last evening.
Many shots were fired, five Italians
killed, six badly wounded, and several
prisoners taken. None of the sheriff's
posse received scratch in the fight.
This causes many people to believe that
the coal burners were not armed. On
the other hand, the messenger reports
that the Italians fired the first shot.
The exact truth cannot be ascertained
until the return of the coroner. The
sheriff's posse numbered nine men. The
messenger asserts that they were con-
fronted by nearly one hundred Italians,
all well armed.
Gen. Sabin, commanding this divis-
ion, had on yesterday issued an order
relieving the military companies from
active duty, but on learning this morn
ing of the Fish creek fight, he promul-
gated another order mastering them all
in again.

A Murderer Captured

Erie, Aug. 19.-McGuirick, the alleg-

ed in Philadelphia October 7th, 1865,
was captured on Sunday night by the
Erie police after desperate resistance.
His capture was effected in Washing
ton township.
He was brought to Erie and given
over to Detectives Fyron and We'll of
Philadelphia, who will remove him to
that city tomorrow.
District Attorney Kerr of Philadel-
phia believes he can bring home the
crime to McGuirick, although the pris-
oner denies the charge.
A suspicious circumstance again Nc
Guirick is that he entered the office of
the Erie Despatch on Friday and repre-
senting himself as a messenger from
Mayor Stokely and Detective Levi of
Philadelphia, requesting the fullest in
formation concerning McGuirick's al
legged share in the murder. Upon be-

gave the name of Mullane, might be
the murdered, McGuirick fled in ter
