Mas. STOWE, in a paper in the North
American Ruerc, gives q more favorable
report of the condition OF the work done
in the South for education Of freedmen
than most people were prepared to expect.
Ia each Of the Southern States the Amer
lean Missionary Society has planted a COL
lege for the colored people. The Episco.
palians and Presbyterians have established
many parochial schools in connection with
their missions. The Presbyterians, be-
sides the parochial schools, maintain FIVE
endowed schools. The Baptists have
seven endowed schools. The Methodists
are still more successful, having fourteen
regularly endowed institutions. The
Episcopal Church supports thirty-seven
missionary stations, with schools attached.
To this is to be added the independent

THR LAST BATTLE.
The official return Of the British losses
does not include those amongst the native
contingent. The Zulus were compelled to
pause by heavy fire when they arrived
within sixty yards OF the British square.
Eye witnesses differ greatly as to the per-
sistency with which the ZIlus pressed the
attack. This probably arises from the
various positions from which they wit.

ratiye shows that the Zulus came with
magnificent rush in dense masses on the
rear OF the square and seemed determined
to get in close quarters. Their attack on
the left flank was not nearly 80 deter
mined, as that was protected by a Gattling
gun, which the Zulus greatly dread. The
estimates Of the Zulu losses vary so great.
ly as to show they are pure guessing.
The highest is 1900. The dead were
lying thickly all around the square.

At the beginning Of the last heat the

fcient evidence they would expel all OF
them. During the race there was per-
sonal collision between Splan, who drove
Brigadier, and Ferrel, the driver OF Dicta-
tor, who claimed that Splan had pocketed
him. The matter was, however, adjusted.
RARus AND HOPEFUL.
The greatest interest centered in the
special race between Rarus and Hopeful for
purse OF 700, OF which s., 200 was TO go
to the winner and the rest to the loser. The
entrance Of these two flyers was greeted
with tremendous cheering. Splan drove
Rarus and Dan. Mace drove Hopeful. An
admirable start was effected for tho first
heat, and Hopeful after getting the out
side took the pole at the first turn, and

Suddenly a new purpose seized the
minds of the villagers. Spades and crow
oars were st once at hand. and the vault
was quickly uncovered.
The first object that met their gag,
was richly-mounted coffin reposing BY
the crumbling remains of that which
held the ashes of Krynezloft. To open
the I'D was only the work of few mo-
ments, and then they beheld. still with
perfect features, the body of beautiful
woman with wound directly in the
region OF the heart.
Never had such cry of terror and
anguish echoed within those walls. The
clothing on the body was of the finest
and most expensive description, but ii
exhibited no mark by which a clue could
be formed to unravel the dreadful deed
that had been committed.
The priest, however, considered it his
duty to make the whole affair known to
his bishop, who resided at Helsingfors,
and he in turn communicated the at
tested facts to the government authori.
ties.
In due time came back q message not
to revive the matter sgain, coupled with
a warning that the inhabitants of Blorn-
bog would do well 10 interest themselves

Some years later, a naval vessel ap-
peared off the coast and landed a party
OF armed men, who proceeded to the
church, keeping all the people at a dis
tsnce by placing guards in the vicinity.
When night fell they were heard at
work, and ere morning dawned they had
embarked, carrying with them a burden
covered with pail.
The few people who were curious
enough to get glimpse of the departure
OF the party, stated that the persons en-
ployed showed the most profound respect
and reverence for the object they bore
away to their barge.
As soon as the ship was well in the

the tomb, but they only beheld the &C
customed remains OF old Francis Krynsz-
