Employing Chinese .

 is said that a promising candidate fol Governor lost his nomination because
 being tumbled into the bay by capsizine yacht, he submitted to being rescued by 6 Chinese fisherman. He saved his life, but committed the uEpardonable sin, which forever will deprive him of the right to serve his country in official position.

 If no man is to be voted for who has had a menial act performed for him by a Chi naman, then it is very certain that we shall have to send elsewhere for our office hol2ers. The rule, rigidly enforced, would exclude LIS all White had Chinese cook, Perkins collects fares ard freights from Chinese, and Glenn permits them to save bis falling grain. Yea, even the sand lots are not free from their touch. Boots are made, cigars are manufactured, and shirts are washed for sand -lotters by the "moon |. eyed lepper." Even our babes drink the milk that is drawn from the COW by John Chinaman. Query: Would that disqual- fly the child in alter life from receiving the votes of free and independent emi- grants from the Emerald Isle? Great heavens! where is this evil to stop? Who IS to be free from the econtaminating touch of honest John, all the way from China?  Begorra, if we don't stop the hathen con- ing here, even the blue -blooded Patrick from Ireland will lose his conspicuous and manifold qualification for office hold ing. The thing is getting serious and must be stopped-that it must. If rev elation of the eleventh commandment is to send us to perdition, who among us may expect to be saved? In that case, there is none good-no, not one. Even hearney had his child carried to the grave, the other day, in hearse, the owner of which employed Chinaman.

Interesting Documents.

We have been shown 8 copy of thu
 Sandwich Island Gazette and Jo,rnal O
 Commerce, published in Honolulu, June
 22d, 1858, and copy of The Polynesian
 dated March 2Oth, 1S47. They are from
 the archives of the late French Consul
 and are in good state of preservation
 From the Potynesian we glean the follow.
 ing California news
 "The Californian, of February 19th,
 contains the following official news:
 Articles of capitulAtion-a and entered into
 atfhe ranch of Cowenga @ this thlr.
 teenth day of January, eighteen hundred and forty-seven, between F. B. Reading. Major; Louis McLauc, IT,, commander Sd
 artillery; Wm. II. Russell, ordnance off, cer, commissioners appointed by J. c. Fremont, Lieut.. Col. U. s. Army, and mil itary commandante of California; and Jose Antonio Carrillo, commandante es- quadron; Augustin Olivera, deputado; commissioners appointed by Don Andres Pico, commander-in-c chief of the Califor mia forces under the Mexican flag"
 Then follow the seven articles of capit. ulation. The paper adds: "The very lib- eral terms granted by Governor Fremont, after decisive victory, will go far towards pacifying the Californians and reconciling them to American rule"
 Among other news items we find " 300 immigrants had arrived overland up to January and more were expected | from Oregon Tn the Spring." General Kearney arrived at Monterey February 9th, in the Cyane from San Diego" " There has been more rain the present | season than in the last three years, and the prospect of large crop is hattering.,'
 Another readable item is: The good conduct of the American troops in Mex co, and the military talent of Gen. Fay Tor, have elicited many enconiums from the European press. Even the Iiaeg. paper usually very chary of praise If anything not English, speaks well of the Talor aud discipline of the American lrmy, and particularly praises the aes- patches of General Taylor, as clear. suc- 'inct and indicating talent, aud what $ lot their least merit, wholly free from ustian and nonsense"
 The same paper says, speaking of rail. , pads in the United States: "Their mum. 'er is 79 and aggregate length 3,723 miles,"
 There are number of amusing and interesting notes in the Polynessan which 7e have not space tp reproduce but in he subsequent light of over thirty two ears the paper is novelty. We have no oubt that in the late French Consups apers.are many documents that would e interesting relics and should be in the abinet of one of our historical Societies l. i. Herald.

Who are the ZnIusg

 '- rial, give an interest to the 1ues
 tiOn, Who are the Zulus? The reader who desires a length, T. detailed and historical answer
 will find It in an eXceedingl,
 readable book recently publishes in London, of which Captain Lu- cas, of the British Army, who has
 long resided in South Africa, i,
 the author. For the purposes o this article, it may be stated that the Zulu Kingdom is of compara-
 lively recent origin. Its founder
 was bloodthirSty and ambitious savage, named Chaka, who, hear ing in 1913 from some shipwreck- ed English sailors of Napoleon the First, formed the insane idea of rivaling the great Corsican conqueror. He had just then succeeded to the chieftainship of a petty tribe dwelling on the sea coast, and as he subdued tribe after tribe, they were compelled to take the name of Zulu, which in their language means "heav- en-" That Chaka was most re- markahle savage. and had a great talent for war, is undOubted, since he invented what may be termed the Zulu Phalanx, and that pecu- liar method of fighting which proved so fatal to the British at ISandula. He saw, with true Ma poleonic instinct, that owing to the scarcity of cover in Zululand, it was better to fight in the open ground in heavy masses. Surne of these were forty deep. The attack commences at rifle range. The center, then, is trained to give way. as though in rapid re- treat, the wings making off to right and left Their enemy then naturally pushes co in pursuit. At a given signal, the Zulus halt, and wheeling, rush upon the foe with frightful yells, protecting themselves with their shields, and dealing death with their short assagais. Every soldier carries three or four throwing as sagais, but mischief reliance is the shor heavy bladed assagais, for close quarters. During the pres ent War they have, at long range, made use of the Martini-Henry rife. The officers march in rear and communicate their orders by swift runners, trained for that purpose. Tn battle, the General, 1 with his staff, seeks some rising ground, and keeps one of tn h9 old est r. regiments as a reserve, as was the custom with Napoleon. from I6I3 to 1928 Cbaka carried out his terrible policy, devastating adja- cent countries and forcing the in- habltants to acknowledge his rule. l A more cruel monster never ruled l even ln Dahomey. His ferocity proved his ruin, for, hearing that his troops had suffered defeat, he ordered the execution of two thousand of their wives, among whom were the wives of his two brothers, Dingana aud Umlan- zane. These conspiiing against him, caused him to be murdered While he slept. The two brothers then fought to settle the success Sion' and Dingana, having slain HIS rival, became King of the Zu- JUS. This monster invited some seventy Dutch Boers to 8 banquet 10 talk over some disputed oues- non, and massacred them, and suddenly marching upon their settlement, murdered nearly 8ev.

Dayou-thats a big question. If the
current could be reversed, reinforced
by a canal from somewhere up Wolf
river and turned into the Mississippi
below Fort Pickering, it might answer
all the purposes of surface drainage,
without being covered over and with
out being offensive or unhealthy. The
main channel could be Strengthened
out a little, the banks dug down to a
uniform slope and then sowed down
with Bermuda grass, which would
give them permanence and change
their unsightly appearance. Let every
citizen think over this all-important
subject, and be ready to compare ideas
when we all get home again. All will
agree that we must do something prac-
tical and early this winter. The world
is not disposed to help us much more.
The sentimental gush of 1878, which
poured millions into the lap of strick-

down into the verdict that "if Mem
phis is worth saving she must save
herself" We will get a little assis-
tance, and but precious little from
this time on. In one sense this is a
national question, because the whole
country is more or less involved when
the yellow fever prevails at Memphis

more than authorize quarantine regu.

NITRo-GLYCERINE.
Two Men and Two Horses Blown to
Atoms and Their Bodies MutiIated
Beyond Recognition.


Cincinnati Enquirer Speciall
BRADFORD, Pa, September g.
About | o'clock this morning the citi-
zens residing in the vicinity of Bell
Rock Bell Camptown, on the 0lean,
Bradford and Warren railroad, about
six miles from this city, were aroused
by noise resembling thunder. fol-
lowed by a shock like that of violent
earthquake. The peculiarities we're
Immediately recognized to be those of
an explosion Of nitro-glycerine, and
scores Of people were attracted to the
scene of the catastrophe. 1t was then
learned for the first time that two
human beings had probably been
blown to atoms, but in the darkness
nothing could be found save a few re-
mains of a buggy and two horses.
AT early daylight the vicinity Of the
disaster was thronged by large
crowd of people. Upon the surround
ing trees, fences and scattered every
where on the ground were found clots
of blood, fragments Of human flesh.
pieces of skin and other evidences
that told only too plainly of the terri
BILE destruction of human life. The
accident occurred at locality known
as Ham Hollow, prolific section of
the Bradford oil field, one and half
miles from Bell Camp station. There
were two men killed, Lewis Gray,
aged twenty-seven, and Charles G.
Jones, aged twenty-one, both living in
Bradford.
Gray, who was in the employ of the
King Torpedo Company, had procured
two pounds of nitro -glycerine, and was
driving with it to well which he was
about to torpedo on the Neal & Baum
tract. Shortly before reaching there
he awakened Jones at a neighboring
well, and the two rode together the
rest of the way Arriving at the well,
it is supposed that Gray, in lifting one
of the three cans in which the explo-
sive was carried from the buggy, in
some way lost his hold and the terrible
stuff fell to the ground, exploding on
the instant the other cans.
George Weaver, a driller, who was
standing at the well two hundred feet
distant, saw the men driving up the
hill, and almost Immediately felt the
force of the explosion coming. He
laid down fiat upon the ground and
barely escaped with his lite, fragments
of stones and other substances passing
over him. OF Gray there was not a
yestige left that could be identified as
belonging to man, being scattered on
the hillside for many rods in all direc-
tions. Jones was not quite so badly
demolished His head was torn en-
tirely from the trunk, and the body
itself was a shapeless mass of mutila-
latlon. One Of the legs was blown off
and both arms were reduced to shreds
Both of the horses were reduced to
fragments, and the only parts of the
buggy that were left were the iron
