The Kind OF a Man CetywayO Is.

1t is no exaggeratiOn to say that his
history from the first has been written
in characters of blood. | do not refer
merely to the long chronicle of his
butcheries-from the slaughter of his
brothers and their followers, early in
his career, down to the more recent in
discriminate and wholesale destruction
of all the unmarried women who at
tempted to eyade his orders, given in7a
sudden fit of caprice, that they should
accept as husbands the elderly unmar-
ried soldiers of his army, the massacre
being subsequently extended to all the
relatives who took away for burial the
exposed corpses of the slaughtered
women-but | would take his character
from his own account of himself; it
was sent little more than two years ago
to the Lieutenant Governor of Natal,
who, on hearing of the massacre of the
girls, wrote to remind him of what had
very recently passed between him and
the representative of the Natal Govern
ment, Sir 7. Shepstone, in the way of
promises of more merciful rule on the
occasion OF his installation rs King, ex-
pressing a hope that the Lieutenant
Governor might learn from him that the
reports which had reached him were in
correct. Cetywayo replied, "Did |

ceived them. | do kill, , but do not consider

My people will not listen unless they

friends with the English, do not agree
to give over my people to be governed
by laws sent TO me by them. Have
not asked the English Government to
allow me to wash my spears, since the
death of my father Umpandi, and they
have kept playing with me all this time,

The Fissure in the Blue Ridge.

A correspondent of the Gordonsville
(Va) Gazette has been looking into the
crack in the Blue Ridge, and holds him
self responsible for the following state
ments concerning it: "Imagine, then,
the side of one of the loftiest and steep
est of the Blue Ridge Mountains (the
grade is about in S5). We are stand
ing about two-thirds of the way up;
above us are some large trees, under
growth, and patch or two of cleared
land below runs the river. Starting
from the river the longest fissure meas
ured 627 yards in length, of different
widths, never, however, over three feet,
and in depth from six feet to an unfath-
omable abyss of darkness, whose de- 9TH
never has been and never will be
easily ascertained. A second crack of
considerable size, starting from point
some distance further down the river,
joins crack No. at about two-thirds of
its length, and by the unions form semi
circle. We must confess that, at first
sight (probably through having read
the exaggerated and totally unreliable
accounts hitherto published), we were
somewhat disappointed, but, after gaz-
ing into the gloom of the great fssure,
we felt awed by the mysterious and un-
accountable division of the mountain,
and wondered if a sacrifice were offered,
as in the days of ancient Rome, would
the earth close again. Mr.. B. informed
us that he first noticed the lar ge fissrre
after the flood of 1877; that he has
since observed that il becomes more ex-
tensive after every hard rain, and in an
swer to our question as to whether he
had ever felt an earthquake, or heard
any subterranean noises, he said. mo,
it has always been as quiet as it is now !"

Distress in England.

The London correspondent of the
Chicago Journal writes: The genera
distress throughout the country is be-
coming more and more apparent, and
affecting all classes of society. Occa
sional incidents show more wildly thar
long histories what a condition we are
getting into. Since the collapse of the
Glasgow Bank, several of the oldest
banking houses in the country have
gone down, carrying with them numer.
GUS manufacturers who depended on
them for their current resources, and
the closing of their manufactures has
thrown thousands of families into in
stant poverty and distress. Trade and
commerce are so bad everywhere that
the Oldest established houses are driven
to reduce their rate of wages, and this
leads to strikes in almost every branch
of business. The very docks at Liver
pool are comparatively deserted, and
the shipowners, whose reduction Of
wages has led to a strike there, threaten
to remove their ships to Bristol and
Cardiff, and elsewhere, where labor is
cheaper. Only yesterday it was an
nounced that the celebrated shipbuild-
ing firm of Penn & Co., and another al
most as large, at Greenwich, had re-
solved upon a reduction of 21 per cent.
and the result is that their 1900 work
men 60 out on strike next Monday.
The same thing is going on everywhere.
Some of the minor incidents of the
great distress are absolutely heartrend-
ing. At recent meeting of the stock
holders of one of the exploded fnan-
cial concerns. a lady-I mean a real
English lady, by title and descent-de-
clared that in six months the country
had stripped her of 10000 (Which
means $350,000), and that she was now
supporting herself and family, and her
mother, nearly 100 years old, by keep
ing a coffee-shop in an obsure London
street. The brother of one of the Glas-
gov Bank Directors, on hearing that
they had been sentenced to imprison-
ment, literally took to his bed and died
of broken heart. But the saddest case
of all is that of a well KIN own Liverpool
merchant, 80 years old, who, after 40
years of successful business, during
which period he had been respected and
honored, finding himself in strait,
succumbed to temptation, forged bill
of exchange for 1000, and was this
week sentenced to five years. penal serv-
itude.

DIR. Samuel Eliot, Superintendent

"Physical pain, or the fear of it, moth

that appeals to none, can be necessity
in school. Only duty, only the love Of
duty, only motive, and one leading to
other motives, can be called a necessary
part of education. Here, positive, not
negative, forces are essential"
