A Wise Act.

Just before court adjourned last
Saturday Judge Alden ordered the
sheriff to hire out to good and respon-
sible persons all the prisoners confined
in Jail, at a fair price, until the amount
of fines assessed against them should
be paid. The sheriff found no trouble
in hiring out the men thus placed at
his disposal, and they are now earning
money for the state at the rate of five
dollars per month. There is economy
in this. The men had all been lying
in Jail for several months, and Wien
the fines were assessed-not being able
to have paid or secured them-could
only have lain In Jail few months and

The Solution Of the Zulu Question,

Sir Garnet Wolseley, by his adroit
policy in fomenting ruptures between
the Zulus and their allied chiefs, seems
to have contaminated the downfall of
Oetewayo, begun by the capture and
burning of the military kraals at Ulundi
by Lord Chelmsford. That policy looks
to the subdivision OF Cstewayo's king.
dom amongst his brother Cham and
others, the complete dethronement of
Cetewayo and his capture if possible,
and the organization of a strong military
force in the Transvaal, which will at
once overawe the Zulus and coeroe the
recaloitrant Beers. Cetewayo is already
reported as trying to escape to Join Sc
cocoeni once a powerful Oaffre enemy
Of the British, who holds disputed ter
ritory north and west of the Transvaal,
and has often given trouble to the Cape
colonies. Chief Morosi, Of the Basutos,
another powerful tribe north of the
T%ransvaal, which has often made trou-
BILE, has submitted. General Wolseley
regards the capture Of Cetewayo as all
important, as he is likely to be the cen-
ter of conspiracy as long as free, but he
proposes to have the disaffected Zulus
themselves or some Of the near. by tribes
take their king. { A,reWard of FIVE thou.
sand cattle, the sole wealth Of the Caf-
fires, has been offered for the fugitive. -
General Wolseley has told the chiefs
that his government does not want any
of their territory. The chiefs seem in
clined to select John Dunn, the white
man, for their ruler, in the stead OF any
Zulu; but anyhow the matter is settled
it is now apparent that Cetewayo's pow
81 is completely broken, and his king
dom, which he lately ruled with such
force. dissolved.

Negro Belief in Witchcraft.

A physician OF Lexington, Fla, was
recently called to see a sick negro wo.
man, but upon arriving at the cabin
found the patient dead. There was an
excited crowd of negroes present, who
insisted that the dead woman had been
bewitched by an i~noffensive old colored
woman in the settlement, who had in.
jeoted live lizards into the dead woman's
legs, and in proof Of this they showed
the doctor some scars neal the ankles of
the corpse where the creatures had en-
tered. They refused TO be convinced,
and we're very much embittered against
the alleged witch, and but for fear of the
law the old woman would doubtless
have been burned at the stake by these
superstitious heathens. The negroes
wanted the coroner summoned, and con-
tended that were the legs of the woman
split open the lizards would be found.
The lizard and scorpion are held in awe
by many negroes, who consider them
but slaves to the sorcerer.
A Virginia gentleman writes that su.
perstition ia about as strong as ever
among the negroes of that State, partic-
ularly in the rural parts. They believe
in the power Of certain persons TO throw
deadly spells v 9 enemies, and he tells
OF q sick negro in his employ, whose
mother is firmly convinced that he is
dying in consequence of somebody's
witchery. As to the practice Of wearing
charms, he gives the following illustra-
ton: my brother-in-law found a negro
thief in his house at midnight, and
locked him up in a corn crib. On
searching him next morning he found in
a bag at his neck what proved TO be a
human heart, dried and shriveled. The
negro confessed that it was the heart OF
his young master, who had recently de-
ceased, and that he wore it TO render
himself invisible. An investigation
proved that he had mutilated the re-
mains to get the heart, and / have no
doubt that many similar charms are
worn by this superstitious people.
