The Basutos.

IT seems generally supposed, by E.
glish writer's. and speakers Oh The u
feet, that the Basutos are IN snda
race of mountaineers long settled d
their present country, and for manygn i
erations past in the enjoyment Of H.
dom, and conspicuous for their loyst.I
and attachment to the British Grown
This, however, is far from being y
case. Under their present name, sudh i
their present position, the Basutol.nd
Basutos have no history beyond tn |
memory OF many men still living. The|
in fact owe their existence ~ ! separate |
community, their name and their posi-
ton, entirely to their old and able chid
Moshesh, who, less than twelve ysan|
ago, handed himself and bis peoplsoFef
to the British Government to save them
from utter destruction and daperaon.
The Basutos have, in fact, only cone y
what we now call Basdtolsnd within d
last generation. Within living msnoE!,

A vEARrUv. tale il told I'm the Port Jervts
N. W Union Of recent date Of the fate OF
Lottie Merrill, the young huntress Of Wayne
County, Pa. According to this account she
had met most tragic death, having been ct.
tackled In her hut BY six hears, killed aud
eaten By them, and her body burned with the
carcssses Of some Of them IN her cabin. A
party Of hunters. Il Il said, Ut the close Of tho
day on which the horror occurred tOund ner
cabin still burning, and the proofs OF the nor
riblc death she had died. 1t appears that shc
had been bunting that day, and had Killed
iine buck deer. which, after removing the en-
trails, she had dragged home on the snow. Six
hungry bears, drawn BY the smell Of blood.
had followed the trail to her hut, and, after
leyouriny the carcass OF the deer, attacked
the huntrcss, killing her and dcvOuring her
body. Tho girl had evidently made heroic
dctcuse. An examination Of the Carcasses OF
the six bears in the cabin showed that she
! L,ust have killed two Of them before being
| Overpowcrcd. The carcass Of one bear had
fallen against tho closed doOr and imprisoned
them al within the cabin, which took fire and
burned the others to death. In the cabin were
found one Of the huntress' heavy boots with
the foot still in II, q bent hunting knife near
the homes and the antlers OF the deer she had
brought home, which with the c,,rcasses Of
| the bears furnished . complete key to thu
mystery. Her funeral took place the next
day. At least 30 people were present, and TIL
old preacher. william Dudwick, preached tn
sermon, relating the story OF her death AM
extoliing her bravery and virtue TO the skies
The remains wcrc buried near her burne'
cabin, and over her grave was placed pair o
antlers and . hemlOck slab with this rude Cpl
