the Zulu Defeat.

LONDON, July 25th.--Specials
from South Africa say: When the
troops entered Ulundi they found
everything of value removed to a
new kraal built by Cetewayo when
the war broke out, fifteen miles
north of Alundi and approached
only through a long and narrow
ravine. King Cetewayo has some
of his chief regiments with him as
a body guard, and correspondents
doubt II he will Immediately come
to terms.
A Ulundi dispatch of July 4th
says Cete wayo witnessed the begin

Early as has been the appearance

Memphis cases have all the char

none OF the alarming features

for alarm in the South, there is

MISS ELLA SHERMAN.
The Light Of the Generals Household.

Boston Herald
The engagement of Ella Sherman,
the generals favorite daughter, TO
Lieutenant A. NJ. Thackara, of the
army, has lately become known. 1t is
hardly good form to speak Of a
young lady as distinguished for her
smartness, and yet if | we're to say
that Miss Sherman is the smartest
young lady in Washington | should
convey a correct notion about her to
the minds of most of your readers.
She is the life of the Sherman horse
hold, and is noted for her |viyacity in
social circles, Her father withdrew
her from the convent to which she was
sent for her education. and, / believe.
thinks she is quite a good enough
Catholic, although she is far from be-.
ing inclined to be a devotee. Miss
Sherman is rather noted in army cir
cles for her skill and endurance as a
horsewomau. There is a good story
told by some young officers of an ex-
perience last spring, when a party was
made up at the instance of ELLA Sher-
man to go on horseback to the Great
Falls Of the Potomac. The distance
is sixteen miles, making, with a return
trip, thirty-twO miles-a rather lone
ride for those not used to the sad
die. The young officers could not re-
fuse her invitation, but bitterly did
they rue it at least several of them
did, for they we're so used up by the
trip that they had to keen their rooms
for three days, and one of them had to
have a doctor Their tormentor.
however, rode back without exhaus.
ton and in the gayest cf spirits, and
the sport which was made over the
masculine weaklings who could not
endure as much was kept up for days.
The young officers did the best they
could to conceal their used up con-
dition, but it was of no use, for their
wo-begone cO%untenances gave the lie to
their assurances that they enjoyed the
trip, and the Doctors bill was a sad
addition to the expense account Of the
trim.

Distilled springs in Florida.

Tallahassee SUM-
= From my hotel window | can look
out almost any clear day and see a dim
column of smoke in the far southwest.
[ have asked the cause of it, and have
been told that it is the vapor from a
boiling spring, which has never been
found, owing to the impeeotrable ma
ture Of the swamp in which it is stu
ated. My informants say it frequent
ly deceived blockade runners during
the war. The runners would suppose
it a signal from shore, and run ia to
certain capture, l suggested one day
that perhaps there might be some
Illicit whisky distillation going on in
that swamp. The possibility and even
probability was admitted. "1'hen
none of you, [ presume | asked,
saw that column of smoke before or
during the warp None had seen it
until the tax oo whisky was levied.

their attention called to it OF late

General Trade.

The rapid advance in cotton during

buoyaacy in all departments Of trade.
The weather for picking has been ex-

WHO WAS THE COWARD
What General Hooker Said Of the Battle
Of Antietam.


Indianapolis Journals New York letter.
remember the first time | ever saw
General Hooker-at a reception given
by President Lincoln in the winter of
lS6l-2-a tall. handsome man; keen,
gray eyes; a proud, sensitive nose, Of.
the Roman ebraic mongrel type; a
soldierly and chivalrie bearing. The
Imagination fingered on him and
looked ahead, and saw him at the
head of affairs. He had all the quail
ties of a great leader, except one-pa-
thence. Napoleon lacked that, too,
but he was such a master that he
didn't need patience any more than
the sun needs a watch, or lightning a
pair of crutches.i
next saw Hooker on q little cot in
the Insane Asylum hospital, across
the East branch opposite Washington.
1t was in the fall of 1862, just after
Antietam. He was mad" He half
reclined, with his well foot on the
floor, and the foot, which had been
shot through in battle, on the cot. l
interviewed" him for the New York
Tribune. You can say for me" said
he, that the battle was managed with
inexcusable stupidity, and that we
ought to have driven Lee into the
Potomac, and captured all his artillery
and half his men. And you can say
for me" he added; rising upon his
elbow, and accounting every word by
pounding his cruteh on the floor,
Gen
eral-H Hooker says-that-
General-H \ < #-is--a
damned-cowardl"
"Shall say that, general ?" / asked
him.
He earnestly enjoined me to say it
for him.
[ scarcely remember now, but |
believe | did not say it, for | consid-
cred that the nan was suffering from
his wound, that he was irritable and
unreasonable, and very likely unjust.
But the man he mentioned never rose
any higher in rank, and was shortly
retired TO a position where personal
courage was not required. | have
omitted to mention his name, for he is
still living, and to pain him would do
nobody any good.
And Mcclellan, whose chef d'euyre
of Antietam fighting Joe criticised SO
freely, probably smiled grimly, a few
months later, when Hooker was in
command, and lost a big battle at
Charlottesville, and had his right
wing rolled up like a carpet by the
midnight onset Of Stonpwan Jackson.
