death. The Zulus, having nearly
surrounded the party, fired and rush
ed on them as they were in the act OF
mounting. The Prince, not having
succeeded in mounting, ran alongside
of his horse until it broke away
from him on the hither bank of the
donga about 900 yards from the kraal
where the party had of-saddled.
The Prince followed his horse into
the donga until closely pressed by his
pursuers. He turned upon them, in
the words of the Zulus themselves,
like a lion at bay Struck by an
assegai inside the left shoulder, he
rushed at his nearest opponent, who
fled out of the donga and got behind
another Zulu, who coming up fired
at the Prince when only ten yards
from him. The Prince returned the
fire with his pistol and faced his now
rapidly-increasing foes until menaced
from his right rear and struck by
another assegai. He regained the
level spot on which he had first stood
in the donga, where he was speedi-
ly surrounded. He then seized an
asseeai which had been thrown at
him, for in struggling with his terri
fed horse his sword had fallen from
its scabbard. He thus defended
himself against seven or eight Zulus,
who state they did not dare to close
on him until, exhausted, he sank
down on his hips,
N.B,-The above facts were elected
from the Zulus, who were examined
separately on the scene of the attack, and
out of sight of one another"

THE AMERICAN HARVEST.

Az American agricultural journal for
July 10 publishes upwards of u thousand
reports from contributors in every part of
United States and Canada On the harvest oil
the year. An analysis of these returns
shows that the crops this year will be
very good indeed. Here and there deicien-
cies and even failures. of one crop or
another occur but even in these sections
other crops are excellent, while the out
look for the country as q whole is emphati-
cally good, for nearly every crop except
hay, which nearly everywhere has been
rendered very short by the killing OF clio
YER last winter and the severe drought
during the past spring and summer.
Owing to the increased acreage under
both winter and spring wheat and the fine
condition at both crops on a whole, there
if now no doubt that last years aggregate
product of nearly $50. 600. 900 bushels
(56, 100000 qrs.) will be considerable ex'
ceeded this year, while the quality of the
groin from present indications will be
better.-Times.

One would suppose that the world was
nearly exhausted of all topics of interest,
when we find that the chief one in the
United States is DR.. Tanners fast. Mr..
Sala, in his pleasant manner, says 'They
say that he is an Englishman, and he GER
tainly seems mad enough to be one" On
the supposition that there is no conspiracy,
and that the whole thing is honest, what
purpose is served by It'll The gentleman's
admirers talk about his suffering in the
interests of science, but it is hard to see
what scientific knowledge will be attained
by the absurd performance. II he is really
starving himself, and survives, it would
certainly prove that he had a marvellous
constitution, but it would not prove that
anybody else could safely follow his ex-
ample. Most people Will be inclined to
believe that the fast is a pretence. and thai
the pretence has been arranged merely to
create q sensation. which it undoubtedly
has succeeded in doing.

Seventy thousand persons in America
yearly die of consumption. most OF whom
have inherited the disease. Vast numbers
inherit a tendency to rheumatism, epilepsy,
insanity, cancers, Indigestion, migraine
neuralgia, asthma. and to early loss
Of sight and hearing. No other cause
of grief and suffering compares with that
due to organic defects banded down from
parent to child. Of forty million OF
people probably twenty six millions
inherit some constitutional defect. But
hitherto little has been done to ar
rest these tendencies, Physicians are
called only to .he sick. On the contrary
those who have inherited tendencies to
disease are generally as careless OF their
health as others : while in the case OF
those who already show the tendency,
their friends are apt to pursue just the
course most likely to strengthen 1T For
instance, a consumptive is shut up from
tho outdoor air and gentle exercise, though
these are his only hope. Moreover, the
whole influence of our social life and prac-
tices encourages the th~oughtless squander'
ing of vital reserve. As a consequence, we
are degenerating as a people. The death
rates are steadily increasing. Yet there is
no inherent difficulty in the way Of extirpat-
ing hereditary disease. Hygienic care would
accomplish it-such care as can come only
from a medical expert, and such as we are
all ready to resort to in acute disease. Able
physicians have thus been able to extirpate

rain; April is also rainy month, but
in July and August comparatively
little rain falls. The rain usually comes
