Avoid Slang.

Yes, there is no doubt about it; the
use Of slang is greatly to be deprecated.
1t is utterly without warrant. If you
speak plain English, people will catch
on to your meaning-beg pardon, will
understand you-just as readily, and
your chin-music-that is to say, you,
conversatioE~-will be far more toney-
beg pardon again elegant. It is now
declared, by the way, that the phrase,
cit goes without saying" is slang;
therefore no selfrespecting person will
use it here after. This goes without
s-there We go again! Slang is horrid
but it is so convenient, especially when
you don't know how to express youl
thoughts, or when you have TO thoughts

Death Of the Famous King Cetewayo.
News has been received from Africa that
King Cetewayo has been killed, but no par
ticulars have come to hand.
The war waged by the British against the
savages led by Cetewayo, in Zululand, in
1880. was n of the most interesting series
of events that engaged the worlds attention
tn tyear. Perhaps the saddest and certain
ly the most romantic episode connected
with the struggle, was the killing of the
young prince imperial of France who had
offered his services to the English. After
the capture of Cetewayo, ZuIuland was APP
portioned among thirteen chiefs. Three Of
them, John Dunn, Hamm, or Cham, the
kings brother, and zibebu, proved cruel
tyrants and robbers who pillaged and
killed the other tribes. The rest of the
Zulus pinned for their captive monarch, to
whom they were greatly attached. The
British government finally concluded that
the restoration of Catewayo would be the
best guarantee OF order and place, but the
Natal settlers protested clanorously. Prev.
ious to his restoration the savage monarch
was taken to London, Ting. to witness the
majesty and power of the British nation.
He passed the month of August, 1882, in
London, ano WAS then conveyed back to
Cape Colony and as soon as the difficulties
were arranged, was reinstated in his king
dom. Since then he has been at wa with
neighboring tribes, an amusement that has
at last cost him his life.

Immoral Widow Pensioners.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, July 90
The statement was made not long ago that a
clerk in the pension Office had said there were
rs many as 10000 cases where soldiers
widows were leading immoral lives in order to
retain their pensions, of which in the event Of
their actual marriage they would be deprived.
Gen. Dudley, tho commissioner of pensions,
says the statement is false and declares that no
clerk in the pension Office has any such
information, for no such information is known
to exist Instead of 10000, there are not 100
Of such cases known. The act of congress
passed August, 1882, providing that open and
notorious adultcrous cohabitation Of a widow
who is q penaioner shall terminate the pension
the same as if actually married, is being
strictly enforced. The commissioner further
says that the percentage of fraud in procuring
pensions is not Ito of l per cent. The
closest scrutiny and Investigation into the
merits of all claims are made by officers OF
the department.
