The zulus...A warlike, Savage Race.

In the beginning of the present cen
tury the Zulus were, according to an
article in German newspaper, an un-
important tribe under chief of the
name of Senzangakong. This man had
two sons, the younger of whom, by
name Chaka, or "the Firebrand," be-
ing threatened by his brother, fled from
bis fathers house and sought refuge
with neighboring Prince. BY this lat
ter the young Chaka was trained to be
skillful warrior, and when he was
grown up he, assisted by the Prince who
bad received him, attacked his brother,
killed him, and became chief of the
tribe. Having thus established himself
in bis brothers place, Chaka turned up
on the sen of his benefactor, who him
self was now dead, and, having defeated
him, incorporated his tribe with his own.
After this he carried on long series of
successful hostilities against neighbor-
ing tribes, until finally he stood at the
head of an army of 100000 devoted fol
lowers. Finally, however, in 1928 Cbaka
fell victim to a conspiracy excited by
his brother, Dingau, who in turn was
deposed in 1910 by another brother,
Panda, who was assisted in his enter
prise by the bauers with whom after his
accession to power he continued to live
on good terms. This Panda had two
sons, Umbulazi and Cetywayo, of whom
the former was his fathers favorite.
The jealousy of Cetywayo being excited
by the preference shown to his brother,
he, in 1856, assembled 10000 men and
attacked the latter, who could only col
lect some 5000. A fearful massacre
ensued, those of Umbulazi's followers
who were not killed by the sword being
driven into the Tugela River. Umbulazi
himself fell into the hands of his inhu-
man brother, who had him fayed alive
in the first place and then sprinkled
with hot ashes and black ants, his heart
being finally cut out and eaten by Getty.
wayo's warriors. Thereupon Panda as.
sembled his most trustworthy regiments
and dispatched them to chastise Lis re-
bellious son. The latter, however, al.
though defeated at the outset, succeed
ed in collecting numerous body o.
followers, and maintained himself il
possession of large tract of country
until his fathers death in 1872, since
which time his position as chief of tht
Zulus has never been menaced.

however, after night of fearful anxiety, the

however, after q night of fearful anxiety, the
pressure Of the water forced the sole barrier
asunder, and the lower portion of the city,
comprising about two-thirds of the whole,
was instantly submerged. A large number
of persons, failing to escape, were drowned.
Many houses were destroyed. The full eX-
tent of the calamity can not be known until
the water subsidies.
A correspondent at Pesth, on the 18th,
summarizing official and private accounts
from Szegedin, says the dead must amount
to many hundreds. 1t is impossible to make
close estimate, as the number buried un-
der the ruins can not yet be ascertained.
The houses, built Of sun-dried bricks, con-
tinued to collapse long after the first
inrush of the flood. The work of feeding
and removing the sufferers was proceeding
with the grestest order. Six steamers and
20 tugs had left Pesth for Szegedin, and the
Hungarian Minister of Finance had for.
warded 100000 fiorins in aid Of the desti-
tute.
An official statement shows that of 9,T00
houses in Szegedin all except 264 have been
destroyed. Most of the habitations destroy
ed were of the lower classes of po ulation.
The loss of life is variously estimated not
less than 1000, while many think it will
reach 1, 200 or even 5000.

Another Deluge Coming.

A Belgian professor has published a
work entitled sc Periodicite des Grdfsds
Del1qes Resultant lu MotxUe7nent Grad
steS de la Ltgne des Aspides de la Ierre,"
in which he warns us that we may be on
the lookout for another deluge of the
world. At certain regularly recurring
intervals, he maintains, the waters OF
one hemisphere are suddenly precipi-
tatei across the equator and flood the
other. The last of these deluges, which
always flow from north to south, or
from south to north, was that of Noah's
times, which was from the north.
Hence the explanation of the great pre-
ponderance of water in the Southern
hemisphere, and of the general south
ern trend of North and South America,
Africa, and many minor peninsulas.
The next of these deluges will flow from
the south to the north. The cause, he
argues, is the alternate increase and de-
crease of the ice caps at the poles, and
the consequent change of the earth's
equilibrium. Since 124S the South Pole
has been continually enlarging, while
the North Pole has been proportionately
diminishing, to-day the diameter of the
Southern glacier being about 5000 miles
and that of the Northern 1,500. When
these two glaciers shall have arrived at
their maximum extension, then will the
earth tilt over and be submerged by an
other great flood, the fifteenth of the
kind that has occurred. In view of this
impending and somewhat serious prob
ability, the question arises, What are we
going to do about itp If no one can
offer better suggestion, would it not he

GENERAL.

A National Convention of colored dele
gates is to be held at Nashville in May, to
consider the political, educational, and So
cial condition of the colored population of
the United States.
Three murd-rers were hanged in New
England on the 14th-Wiliam II. Devlin at
Cambridge, Mass, for the murder Of his
wi e and child; John Q. Pinkham at Con-
cord, n. H., for the murder of his employ
er, Mrs. Miriam Berry, widow; and Henry
Gravelin at Windsor VT, for the murder of
III. o. White. The Pacific coast also furnish
ed three victims for the scaffold on the same
day. At Maryville, Cal, All Ben, China
man, was hanged for the murder of John
McDaniels, and at Portland, Oregon, Eu-
gene l.. Avery, alias Archie Brown, and
James johnson were hanged for the MUIR
der Of Louis Joseph. Victor Nunez,
Mexican, was also hanged at Pueblo,
CAL, same date, for the mur-
der of man named Ranscone.
The latter's wife had become infatuated
with the Mexican, and in order to enjoy their
illicit amour without molestation, the lover
killed the husband, and then ran off with the
widow. The couple were living in Nevada
as hus band and wife when they were both
arrested. There was no evidence to convict
the woman OF actual completely in her hus-
bands murder and she was acquitted.
A lawsuit of national importance was de-
cided at st. Louis on the 18th, being the
suit of the owners of the Cochrane patent
for purifying middliugs against certain
prominent millers for infringement of said
patent. The Court, Judge Dillon, decided
in favor Of the defendants, on the ground
mainly that the re-issued patent is void on
account Of new matter being introduced not
included in the original patent. Judges
Treat and Nelson concur in the opinion.

Some Physiological Facts.

The skin contains more than two mil
lion openings, which are the outlets of
an equal number of sweat glands. The
human skeleton consists of more than
two hundred distinct bones. An amount
of blood equal to the whole quantity in
the body passes through the heart once
every minute. The full capacity of the
lungs is about three hundred and twenty
cubic inches. About two-thirds of a
pint of air is inhaled and exhaled at each
breath in ordinary respiration. The
stomach daily produces nine pounds of
gastric juice for digestion of food; its
capacity is about five pints. There are
more than 500 separate muscles in the
body, with an equal number of nerves
and blood vessels. The weight of the
heart is from eight to twelve ounces.
1t beats 100000 times in twenty-four
hours. Each perspiratory duct is one
fourth of an inch in length, which will
make the aggregate length of the whole
about nine miles. The average man
takes five and one-half pounds of food
and drink each day.

Rev. Abel Manning, Congregation
alist, of Goffstown, Mass, is now 81
years old. He has preached 5000 ser

sermon a week.
The total cost for all public schools
in Michigan last year was $2, 1856, l93.2O.
The Governor laments that while the
system of teaching is in the main excel

A number of friends of Princeton
College have agreed to pay off the exist

No Undertakers in Heaven.

An amusing instance of how man
may sometimes say more than he really
means occurred in this city recently.
and more than that, it was at a funeral.
The officiating clergymen.in his prayer,
while enumerating the joys Of heaven
and the great gain which the deceased
had secured by being transferred thith-
er, used the following Languages: In
that blisstul abode, sorrow and sigh
ing flee away; there are no pains there;
no Diseases there; no death there; no
funerals there; no undertakes there!"
This climax of exclusion, this sentence
to an outside place pronounced on all
his class, fell on The ears OF tue pious
and decorous undertaken who had
charge of the funeral ceremoaies with
startling effect. 1t sent ooid shiver
down his spine, until he reflected that
probably the good pastor had said lit
tie more thau he was authorized to say.
