and a modified version of what is
known as the Carlsbad regimen. They ap-
pretended that the prince, although he re-
mains in good health, has reached the limit
at which the strongest man may take such
liberties with his digestive organs as 10 eat
mullins and drink tea between copions
luncheon and dinner, and after rising from
the dinner at II O'Clock sit down at 2 or 5
O'Clock TO = regular complete supper. This
system has been practiced by the prince for
nearly twenty years with considerable sue
cess; but the answer TO this objection is that
q time will come to all, and has already
come 10 the prince, at which q more severe
rule of life must be adopted ii the physical
and intellectual energies are to be preserved
unimpaired. The prince has yielded to
argument and solicitation, and is probably
in the right 10 do so, but many of the older
school are very ~contemptuous in their re-
marks on what they call the starvation
mania" among doctors who during 4he last
few years rarely prescribe stimulants and
embitter the lives of their patients by inces-
sanity telling them that they eat and drink
too much by hall. Now nobody likes being

of all of US, and, as every one wishes, for
that OF the prince himself.
CETEwAYo OFF FOR HOME.
Cetewayo has gone home, taking with him
loads of homogeneous presents from nthusi-
astic admirers. He had -hawls for his wives,
jscknives for his sons and even antimacasssrs
and a bulldog. The governments treatment
of Ceiewayo has encouraged Maharsjah
Dhuleep Singh to demand compensation for
the disturbance in the P~unjaub, thirty-fve
years ago. The government has already
treated MIN handsomely on all NJ stters of
finance. The prince has signified mis- inten-
ton of contestins Whetby in the Conserva-
tive interest next year.
NOT TROUBLED ABOUT DIGESTION.
The reerowned monarch Cetewayo is not
among those who trouble themselves about
| digestion. An odd story went round town
the day after the Zulu king had seen Lord
Kimberley, subsequent 10 his interview with
the queen. i am told that Cetewayo went
home with his chiefs to the house in the
Melbury road let TO him by Mr.. Charles
Start, the artist, and after dancing and
stamping with delight enjoyed an entire leg
OF mutton for his dinner. Beef is the staple
food of the Zulu, but this being a grand oc-
easion a huge leg of mutton was provided for
the king, who did not carve" ii on the ordi-
nary lines, but hacked off great "chunks"
until he had devoured the whole. They add
that he washed down the succulent repast
with a bottle of whisky, bat this cannot be
true.
THE SENSATION OF THE SEASON.
The London correspondent: OF the New
York Tribune thinks that If C~etewayo has
not been the sensation of a London season,
for which he arrived too late, he has at least
accomplished the objects of his long journey.
He has seen London, he has seen both
Houses of Parliament, inside and out, he
has had interviews with Lord Kimberley
and with the prime minister, he has shaken
hands with the prince of Wales and visited
the princess at Marlborough House, and he
has seen his royal cousin Victoria, queen OF
Great Britain and Ireland and empress of
India and parts of South Africa. Cetewayo's
notions of the British constitution are a
little vague, and the importance he attached
10 a personal interview with the queen was
excessive. The policy of the colonial
office ia not settled at Osborne. But
on the whole, the Zulu monarch has
carried all his points and pretty
not trouble himself, when making his state
ment 10 the House OF Lords, to say whether
the terms OF . Cetewayo's restoration were
satisfactory to Cetewayo himself. That is, |
nevertheless, the point on which the wisdom 7
OF the proceeding turns. Since Cetewayo is
to go back and rule over Znzuland, it is e-
sential that his authority should be sufficient
~ OAoNNt obo thSN Els OOO-Ul |
should be secured. What Lord Kimberley
said amounts to this: That Cetewayo is 10
have, not all, but the greater part of his ter
ri.ory, and that he is to rule it pretty much
as he likes, subject to the advice of a British |
resident and to a restriction upon the reor-
ganization Of his army. He is forbidden 10
collect afresh that formidable force which
made him the terror of South Africa. How
this prohibition is TO be made effective
Lord Kimberley omitted to explain.
But it is understood-this at least was
the belief of the lobbies-that Cetewayo
IL content with the terms and with his
recent treatment. Impressed with the power
of England the Zulu king may or may not
be. 1t is never easy to say what impression
the resources OF civilization make upon the
savage mind. If he had been in the Lords
on Tuesday he might have heard himself de-
nounced as a bloodthirsty iyrant by Lord
Salisbury, and defended by Lord Kimberley
as, on the whole, a pretty good sort OF king.
To be the object of Lord S ilisbury's invectiye
ia a distinction which Cetewayo shares with
Mr.. Gladstone and others in great number.
He must have, moreover, the credit or dis
credit OF giving rise TO a startling novelty in
English journalism. On the next morning
but one after his arrival in London the Times
announced that he had slept we'll and had
breakfssted on coffee, beefstsak and potatoes.
Other papers, striving 10 be more precise,
said ~'several pounds" of beeisteak. But
when the Times presented itself to the public
as court newsman and society journalist 10
Cetawayo l do think that it ought 10 have
been left free to pursue this new path of en-
terprise unhampered by mean rivalries.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE SAVAGE.
The London correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian writes as follows:
when John Dunn's name was mentioned
to him his lips closed and an ominous ex-
nFaaafnn nayGod lilo q ntafI nuar IL. aaInro
Then ! could understand well enough that
this fat, jolly giant might easily develop into
a terrible master ii his despotism were as
sured. L would not like 10 be John Dunn if
ever he has 10 appear as a captive under the
dusky gaze of that ruthless face. 1t was Gu
rious to see how the child anG the man al.
ternated in the moods of this odd being.
When anything pleased him (such, for in
stance, as the pretty trimming of q lady's
dress) he giggled happily; when any ques
ton was asked him that required thought
he took a pinch from his eternal snuff box
and settled into a gravity that contrasted
most remarkably with his ordinary broad
smile. l asked the king what he thought of
queen. He said: She is bosn to rule
men. She is like me. We are both rulers.
She was very kind 10 me, and
| shall always think OF her. We spoke
of Bishop Colenso, and The name aroused
him TO instant vigor. He rolled on his seat
and showed his very gums in his esger talk,
while his hands waved in the air and he took
snuff violently. The bishop he said. loves
all Zulus. His heart is as big ss all London
for my nation. L love him, and he has done
everything for me- Then we spoke of his
return, and he said: Pray the English peo-
pie 10 let me away before the storms come on
The waters" He is mad to be home again
and the roundo of visiting bores him terribly.
The very size of London seems to confuse
his faculties. Sentiment apart, 1 fear that l
must say that Cetewayo is a thorough savage.
One little trick of his amused me much. A
lady gave him a splendid rose. He smelt it,
turned up his nose, said: 'Agh, ughP and
the poor flower up. 1t was DO
more than a TUT of grass for lin. He will
be best in Zululand, where the hero-worship-
pers cannot pursue him" s
