Zulu-land is said TO be a terrible place
for military service for both men and
horses. The Pail Mall Gazette says
Not only are the Zulus themselves yet
more terrible fellows than our fancy had
already pictured them, possessing every
physical and mental qualification neces-
sary to the formation of perfect light
infantry, but they, naked savsges as
they are, seem to rush unhurt and unim-
peded through scrub of the most terrible
description. Four out Of every five
bushes besr thorps which q European
can only hope to face when clad in q the
best mOleskin." 1he name OF these
thorns, we are assured, Is {" legion" snd
they are as formidable to white men as
they are apparently harmless to the
Zulus But if Zllu-lsnd il an urIv

How the Zulus Fight.

From my intercourse with the Mata-
bles / know the Zulu style of fighting.
Ever since the dreadful tidings l have
had constAntly before me the vision of
that iniuFiated mass OF Zdlus, like thou
sands of savage goriilas, rushing On those
devoted men OF the TwentyNiourth
Their style is not to be contrasted for 8
moment with that of the Colonial natives,
or with those whom our forces have been
engaged In Griqualand West, or in the
Transvaal. The Zulus prefer, and strive,
to throw themselves in overwhelming
numbers on the weakest point of the
enemy. With dauntless courage and
the fury OF tigers they rush on, without
the least concern for the hundreds fall
ing in their ranks, OF the bodies barring
their wsy; they press on to get to close
quarters as speedily as possible, looking
mel her TO the left nor light, nor dream
| ing OF hiding for moment behind stones
or bushes. They charge forward, for
this reason preterTing ihe open field
Naturally courageous and vain of their
proves, they firmly believe that they
need only to follow the above mentioned
tactics and they must win the day. As
for the loss they suffer in thus advancing
IN great numbers, they are Indifferent TO
IT. Tor the slmple reason GnaJ tney are 20
accustomed to wholesale slaughter as one
of their daily customs that the sight OF
their comrades falling in all directions
has no effect upon them.
Where is there another tribe like the
1 Zulus and their branches in South
Africa These men are ruled by q
savs2e despot. They are trained as
soldiers all their lives in regiments,
properly differed, al, IN fact, in correct
military style, as nearly as they can
! follow it. When ranged IN order o.

hand, q small shield is strung round his
/ left arm, and in his left hama ne holds 9

/ the gun being anything but great, they
content themselves by beginning the

Too Heavy for Hin.

This comes from Waterford, LoudoD
county, Va:
A coloTed meeting was lately held in
this place, at which the attendance was
large and the converts numerous. The
stoTe-pipe happening to fail, the minis
ter asked one Of the breddeTin to put It
in position again. Brother Johnson es-
sayed to 90 It, but, being rather slow,
the old minister said, Pick it up, brud-
der, pick it up; de Lord won't let it
burn you"
Brother johnson, with faith IN the
assurance, seized the hot pipe, and, of
course, had his hands blistered. He
dropped it with the inappropriate re-
mark. DE djbbiL he lUo7ItI"
It was Just little heavy for him.
