BABY FARMING.
How It is Conducted in BaltimorS-A Romantic
Story.

How 1t Is Conducted In BsltimOre-A Romantic
Story.
In the north western section OF Balti.
more, in little by street, there has re-
sided for over quarter of a century an
rid woman who has for many years
practiced little Buttercup's art of baby
farming. Many of the little ones left in
her care were, when few months old,
intrusted to the charity of some infant
asylum, and in years after entered upon
lives of toll and drudgery, while others
ofthe little proteges were adopted by
families Of affiuence and raised as their
own children. The history Of one of
the latter is almost as marvellous as that
of Captain CorCoran and Ralph. Some
twenty-five years ago, on dark and
stormy evening, an elegantly dressed
woman entered the door of neat little
house So the home of the old nurse-rap-
ped and was admitted. In a few days
she departed, after entrusting to the old
woman black.eyed girl baby. Years
rolled on and the pretty infant grew to
be bright, beautiful girl. When she
was six years old a lady Of wealth and
some position called to see the old wo-
man, and was 30 charmed with the
Child's beauty and intelligence that she
persuaded the old woman to let her ad.
opt the little stranger, and subsequently
the child was taken to home of wealth
and luxury. Time passed, childhood
ripened into womanhood, and bearing
the name ofthe family by whom she had
been raised and educated, she was a
belle in Baltimore. The young
lady is now married and happy-the
wife Of one of the most valued and hon.
ored of Baltimore's citizens. The story
is highly romantic one and has the
merit of being absolutely true. There
are at present some half-dozen of these
baby-fsrming establishments in Bslti.

TWO ZULU FoRTREssEs.

Cetewayo's new kraal is said to be es-
tablished in deep rsvine, which is ap-
proachable only through rugged defles,
besides being protected by a strong for
tress called Umbonsmbi. The whole
meek" leading to the fort is covered
with military kraals, and is about six
miles in length. There is no other
known way of getting into the place,a and
unless one can be discovered, which Is,
so far as is known, improbable, the difa.
Guilty OF taking the place will be of
the most serious character. OF course,
much execution can be done by shelling
and the like, but even with all the ap.
plianCes of modern warfare it will call
for much skill aud strategy as we'll as
bravery and determination.
The stronghold of the rebel Basut0s in
the Drakensburg range Of mountains, in
which Morosi and his followers are, is
an almost impregnsble natural fortress,
which will cost much trouble and con-
siderable bloodshed to reduce, unless the
defenders can be starved out. 1t is sitn.
ated in detached mountain rising
abruptly from the Orange river on one
side, and it's tributary, the Quitting, on
the other. The middle portion consists
of steep, grassy but rugged slope,
which is capped by huge mass OF
rock rising perpendiCulsrly to a height
of from forty feet to one-hundred and
fifty feet, except on the southeastern
side, where it is guarded by ridge Of
about four hundred yards in length,
ending in a steep but comparatively
easy ascent 10 the summit. On this ridge
sharpshooters are stationed by the rebels
who, themselves hidden from sight,
have long range Of view over the sur
rounding country. The road to the top
of the mountain runs along this ridge,
and from the point where they meet
runs chain of walls eight feet or nine
feet high. right up to the summit. The
walls are from three feet to four thick
and loop holed in all directions, so that
should a storming party reach the first
wall they would be raked from all sides
by Cross.6res from above. The very
summit Of the mountain is strongly bar
ricsded Some field guns have been dis
patched to the force guarding the noun.
tain, and their use may hasten the sur
render of the place, which will be de-
ferred for many weeks if starvation alone
is depended upon.

THE ZULUs.

An Engagement in which the Africans are Routed.
London, July 23.-In the House Of
Commons to-day the Government an-
nounCed the receipt of telegram dated
Cape Town, July 8, stating; Lord Chelms-
ford remained in camp till the afternoon
of July Sd, awaiting the surrender Of the
cannon and 1000 rifles captured by the
Zulus at Isandula. These not arriving he
advanced and was attacked in the open
country by $4,000 Zulus, who fed under
the heavy FIRE Of the British. Lord
Chelmsford then advanced and destroyed
Ulundi. The Zulu loss was 800, and the
British lost ten killed and ffty.three
wounded.
The battle was fought July 4th. Zulus
vsriously estimated at from 1000 to 90
900, surrendered to the British troops,
who formed hollow square. The Zulus
charged the square on all four sides.
After the Zulus we're broken by the Brit
ish fire they we're pursued by the cavalry
and utterly routed. Lord Chelmsford
burned and destroyed all military kraals
and returned to his camp the same even
ing.
A detailed official telegram from Lord
Chelmsford says: Chetywayo not only
failed to comply with my demands forth
return of the cannons, etc., but fred on
our watering parties. l consequently re-
turned the cattle he had sent in and Or
dered reconnaissance by Colonel Buller's
horse. This caused the Zulu army to ad.
vance and show itself on the morning Of
July 4th. My force, consisting of Cen
eral Newdigate's division and General
Woods column, aggregating 1000 Euro
peans and 1000 natives, with twelve
cannon and two gatlings, crossed the Um.
oolosi river at 6l5 a. m. The force
reached an excellent position between
Endawengo and Ulundi about $3.50 a. m.
TIE Zulu army had been observed leav-
ing it's bivouacs about 7;30. An engage
.nent was shortly after begun by mounted
men. By o'clock the Zulu attack was
fully developed; by $50 the enemy wa
vered, and the lanCers, followed by the
remainder of the cavalry, attacked them,
and general route ensued. Prisoners
state that King Chetywayo was person
ally commanding and witnessed the light
from neighboring kraal.
The Zulu prisoners state that twelve
regiments, aggregating 10000 men, par.
tiCipated in the attack. Lord Chelmsford
estimates that the Zulu loss could not
have been less than 1000 men. Ulundi
was burning at noon. The stesdiness Of
our troops, who at one time during the
engagement we're under complete belt
Of fire, was remarkable. The dash and
enterprise of the cavalry was all that
could be wished.
Our fortified camp had been left in
charge of 900 Europeans and 250 ma
tives. A portion of the Zulu force at one
time threatened to attack it. A large
body of Zulus surrendered after the bat.
tie. They are also coming in in large
numbers on General Crealock's line of
advance.

LEADVILLE.

Features OF the Place--The Camp and the City
A Dreary Graveyard.
The strangers first impression on ar.
irving in Leadville is one of surprise at
the existence of such city in such
place. With the memory of the long,
difficult road over the range by which he
has come still fresh in his mind, it seems
almost impossible that every evidence of
civilization which he sees about him, and
the thousands Of people who throng the
streets, can have been brought there by
that or by longer if not more difficult
route in a single year.
Leadville is at once a city and a mining
camp. Four streets-State and Main,
Harrison Avenue and Chestnut street.
comprise the former, while the thousands
Of log cabins and board shanties scat
tered over an area about mile square
constitute the latter. The four business
streets have been built up so rapidly
that in some parts they have a crude and
unfinished appearance. The sidewalks
are not all on the same level, each man
having built that in front of his store at
height that was convenient for himself,
so that as you 60 along you are repeat.
edly obliged TO 60 up or down one or two
steps. None of the streets are paved,
but several of them had foot or eigh-
teen inches Of broken slack from the
smelling works earted upon them and
covered with earth, forming a kind Of
crude macadam much smoother and
tirmer than natural ground. Log houses
have pretty much disappeared from the
principal streets,
The camp proper is the most interest
ing anG picturesque portion of Leadville.
As thousands of fortune hunters rushed
in here last winter and spring they cut
down the trees and built their log cabins
and board shsnties among the stumps,
laying out no streets and taking no pains
TO arrange their buildings with any de-
gree of regularity. The roads, therefore,
that have since been used wind about in
most bewildering way, to avoid the
cabins and stumps, and make 1t as easy
for stranger to lose himself as in some
of tie older parts Of Boston. The camp
has life Of its own almost independent
of the city. II has it's hotels and drink
ing saloons, its gambling shops and dis
reputable houses, and here and there a
store with small stock OF goods. Men
live here actually as they do in camp.
Women are almost unknown, and the
miners do their own cooking over fire

necessarily coarse and without much va
riety. have not been into any of the
cabins, but can imagine that they are

favor of the climate of Leadville. An
