to hope the Republicans will BY their n1odcra-

hs no taint OF the old poison In its blool.
IN Zululand the youthful Louis viii have far
rerc chance Of rcaplng fame than ever lio can
e1pect to hare in Francc. The service he has
undertaken Is not chIld's play. The Royal
Artillery detachment which ho accompanies Is
likely 10 rome III for liberal share OF hard
Knocks. But In the bush his Imperial
lineage vii, help him little. 1t will not
