DEATH OF THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.

Brig. Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, who
| accompanied the cxEnpress Eugenie
| to Zululnnd, has seut to the papers a
description of the death of the Prince
Imperial, collected from Independent
narratives of eighteen of tho Zufus who
participated in the attack on the
Princes party. These narratives show
that the attacking party numbered
forty, twelve Of whom followed the
Prince, eight of them being Immediate
ly concerned in his death. The Zulus,
having surrounded the Princes party,
fired and rushed on them as they were
mounting. The Prince, not having
succeeded in mounting, ran alongside
his horse until ii broke away. The
Prince followed the horse in the danga
until being closely pressed by his pur-
sucrs he turned upon them, IN the
words of the Iulus, "likc Il lion ut bay"
Being struck by an asscgai inside the
left shoulder, he rushed at the near
est opponent, who fed. Another Zulu
then fred at the Prince when only ton
yards from him. The Prince fired his
pistol and faced his rapidly increasing
foes, until mcnaced from his right and
rear, and struck by another assegai,
he regained the level on which he
had first stood in the danga, where he
was speedily surrounded. IIc seized an
assegei, which had been thrown at him.
In struggling with his terrified horse
his sword had fallen from its scabbard,
and with this asScgai he defended him
self against seven or eight Iulus, who
state that they did not dare to close on
him until he sank exhausted on his
hips.
The above facts were elected from
Zulus who were examined separately
on the scene Of the attack. 1t may be
remarked that this is the first correct
description of the affair that has yet
been published.

THE WAY TO FIGHT THE BATTLE.

The Chicago Times, paper "entire-
ly independent of both parties, and
not having the slightest obligation to
either of them," declares that it "is in
II position to advise tho contestants rs
to the kind Of fight which they should
make in order to succeed" 1t insists,
therefore, that what Democrats should
do is to wage an aggressive war, and
make things warm for the Republi-
can. 1t says
What should be done is to march out
with banners flying, drums beating,
and guns loaded, and inaugurate q
vigorous attack on the enemy's in
trenchments. They arc weak enough,
and would be likely to go down as
easily as did the walls Of Jericho when
struck by the sound of blowing rams
horns. What the Republican party
should be made to do is to explain
| what it has been doing with the coun-
try during the last ten or fifteen years.
There are a thousand things which will
demand tho exercise Of tho greatest
skill and ingenuity to explain ; and.
even when these qualities are brought
! into tho most active play, 1t will be n
matter of tho gravest doubt as to the
ability Of the party in power to make
an explanation which will be salts
partisan in tho ranks of Republican
ism. There are the whisky ring, the
Credit Mobiiier business, the enormous
land steals, the pavement irregularities
| which took place i'll Washington, the
scantlalous developments which have
occurred in tho management of the
navy, the transformation of the national
capital into once of the most infamous
of localities sine the days of Sodom
and Gomorrah, the rule of dishonesty
among officials, which has extended
from cabinet officers to tho rcmotcs
department in which Federal agcn
has been in n position in which there
was anything which could be stolen
and SO many other things of the sor
to catalobuc them would require IL vol
utne as large as an unabridged diction
ary. The Republican party claims tc
have saved tho country of this there
may DO Il question:, but that they have
stolen it is Il matter which can not
be successfully disputed.
If the Democrats arc wise, they will
continc their efforts to getting some
sort of an explanation of these things
from tho people who have presented
Mr.. Garfield as their leader. These arc
what the "intelligent voter" needs
light on.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1880-08-06

over him to reach the farc-box. He
won't be thankful FOR anything that is,
and he won't cease growing at any
thing that isn't. He deliberately lies
about how his thermometer stood when
he left home, and If he doesn't start &
headache he predicts hotter weather
for tomorrow. He gets up with a
grunt, steps on everybody between
himself and the door, and detains the
car as long as possible before he finally
drops to the earth, as if he meant to
bring up in China.
What is wanted i'll this country is a
reversible fat mana chap who can be
opened out like an umbrella in Jnnu-
ary and closed up like telescope in
July. When the thermometer is at
zero, q fat man will go in for all public
Improvements, sign any petition, at
tend any convention, and argue any
question. When the thermometer
shows eishty-four degrees in the shade
he is..obstinate, mulish, bigoted and a
nuisance, which ought to be promptly
suppressed.
