SINGULAR Bravery Of the zulus.

For courage aud other waritke
qualities, the Zulus may fairly be
called the Afghans Of Africa, anu
many of their recorded exploits
would do credit to any trained
soldier. Some few years ago
Zulu hunter, hearing young Brit
ish officer speak somewhat nightly
of native prowess, offered to give
him q specimen of it by killing
single. handed u huge lion which
infested the neighbood. The chal
lenge was accepted, and the brave
fellow ut once set forth upon his
dangerous GRAND, the officer and
several of his comrades following
at a distance. Having drawn the
beast from his lair, the hunter
wounded him with well flung spear,
and instantly fell Hat on the ground
beneath his huge shield of rhinoce'
ros hide. which covered his whole
body like the lid of II dish. The
lion, having vainly expended his
fury upon it, ut length drew back a
few PAGES. Instantly the shield
rose again, and u second lance
struck him, aud his furious rush
encountered only the impenetrable
buckler. Fooled again, the lion
crouched closed beside his ambush
ell enemy, as if meditating siege;
but the willy savage raised the
further end of the shield just
enough to let him creep noiselrsly
away into the darkness, leaving
the buckler unm0ved.
Arrived AT Il safe distance, he
levelled his third spear III the
broad, yellow flank OF the royal
beast with snch unerring aim aS Ia
lay him dead on the spot, and then
returned composedly to receive the
apologies and congratulations OF
the wondering spectators.
