The PHILADELPHIA Evening Bulletin,
says Mr.. Tilden has promptly and gen
erously recognized the fact that the
great Tilden movement has begun with
energy and enthusiasm in Berks coun-
ty. In response to the information that
he has been nominated by several Dem
ocratic clubs, up there, he has written
to say: "There is no spot in our whole
country which would give me more de-
light by its kindly remembrance of me
than the county of Berks." When we
reflect that the Democratic population
of Berks county is generally admitted
to be the stupidest on this continent,
south of the region of the Esquimaux,
and that the thicker a mans head is
in that county the more violent ia
bis affection for the Democratic party =,
the intensity of Nj. Tilden's delight
at the approval that has come to him
from Berks will seem strange. This
joy, however, is probably born of the
assurance that as the enthusiasm OF
Berks has risen spontaneously to the
highest point, Mr.. Tilden will have fol
use in other places the money thai
IA,
might have been needed to give the
cam aign in Berks fair start.

The Zulus at Amazulus, with whom
the British in South Africa are again
involved, as savages and civilized peo'
pie are ever liable to be, are a portion
of the Kafir race inhabitng Natal and
the region northeast of it. They are
far more amiable than the Kaiirs pro-
per, less warlike and rapacious. more
industrious, more inclined to the ways
of peace and civilization. They are
naturally social, cheerful, lighthearted,
gentle, affectionate, constant, but very
passionate, if aroused, and extremely
fierce in battle. As rule, they are
remarkably chaste, for savages, being
free from many cencupiocent sins of the
East and even Of Europe. Or incon
sistency they have much, and they are

that their good impulses cannot be

bodies protected only by OK hide shields,

No solid reason has yet been advanc-

difficult to see why there should be any
objection whatever TO the measure,

1t is a fact that Wilmington is almost

the indifference of the New Castle dele
CATION in the Legislature is the reason
why the measure will fall. If this is
so, we hope that care will be taken
hereafter to send men to the Legisla
