Cetawayo, Zululand was apportioned among
thirteen chiefs. Three Of them, John Dunn,
Hamb, or Oham, the Kings brother, and 81
bebu, proved cruel tyrants aud robbers who
pillsged and killed the other tribes. The

How Sponges are Gathered.

The negro sponge-fshers who ply
heir trade here in the Bahamas are a
race of seamen not too regular in hab-
Is or morals, and living sadly monot-
onous life of exposure and privation.
Their voyages to the sponge fisheries
last each for six weeks, during which
they live crowded on board their craft
nnder conditions OF hardship which, in
\ cline less salubrious, would be fatal
to health and life. The sponge firms
''fnd' for them the boats, supplies and
equipment which they use on their six
weeks trip. The sponge bottoms most
sought at this time are on the coral beds
At the south side of Eleuthera Island,
fifty miles east of Nassau. With good
wind the fisheries are reached in eight
IL ten hours from this port. Then the
real toll begins. Lying on his chest
along the boats deck, the fisher with
his water-glass- pane set in box
fitted with handles down forty
feet into the clear depths. With one
hand he grasps and sinks a slender pole,
sometimes fifty feet in length, fitted
At the end with a double hook.
The sponge, once discovered, the
hook is deity inserted at the rocky
base, and by sudden jerk the sponge
is detached to be brought up on deck.
This curt description of what seems the
simple work of sponge-fshing gives no
idea of the real skill and exertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to
be trained by long experience to peer
into the sea and tell the commercially
valuable sponges from those that are
worthless. He must have deft hand
to manage the swaying hook forty feet
down so as to detach the sponge with
out tear Above all, while doing this
with one hand, he must manipulate
with the other the water glass as the
waves sway it sideways and up or down.
fhe strain on eye and body is most in
tense, to say nothing of the cramped
position and exposure to wind and wet
which first and last make almost every
sponge-fisher victim of acute rheu-
matism. Yet with all his arduous toll,
faithful sponge-fisher earns no more
han SO month besides his keep"
On the boat, which barely deserves the
name of existence.
All the Bahama waters abound in
sponges Of great variety, but many of
them worthless for the market. Those
hat are good for nothing else are often
most beautiful curiosities. They take
mos, wonderful and striking shapes
now a cup, now an old-.ashioned drink
ng-horn. anon great bunch of messy,
mp-shaped growths, and frequently foil
ated like the tree-coral. A cup-shaped
sponge found some years ago in Bahia
ma waters, and said to be the second
largest in the world, measured seven
ieet in circumference, and its walls from
Jour to six inches in thickness. Up to
woor three years ago the Bahama fish
cries showed signs of exhaustion, but
;he discovery of the Eleuthera bottoms
aas proved a godsend to the fishermen,
and are likely to supply the markets for
,ome years to come at least. Cor. A.

A Negro MOney-Maker.

There has just died a negro, a Hay
tan, who during his life probably signed
more bills of exchange and promissory
notes than any man who ever lived.
Toussaint Lagorille was the business
man of Emperor Soulouque, who looked
to him to work the difficult miracle
called raising the wind He during
the earlier weeks Of his sojourn here
found it easy enough. In those days
imperial crowns, though only gilt, were
above par, and everybody held that an
Emperor Though rough-hewn ebony
had only to will to do. All went well
with Toussaint Lagorille until his bills
of exchange on Soulouque brought back
only protests Twas not SO nominated
in the bond. First explanations passed
current, but when nothing but protests
and explanations came of bills of ex-
change, Toussaint Lagorille could get
from no banker gold or exchange for
paper. But Soulouque clamored for
more. Every post brought to Uncle
Toussaint appeals, or menaces, or pray
ers from Soulouque, so Uncle Toussaint
went to usurers. Terms were easy at
first-only 100 per cent. interest a year;

aged by hook or by crook to procure
$4,000 to $1,OO0,000, which he sent
Soulouque, against bills of exchange for
S21, 100000 on the imperial treasury.
His majesty rewarded the faithful SER
vice by making Toussaint Lagorille
Duke della Grande-Terre, which was the
greatest title his majesty bestowed, and
by which Duke de Trou-Bonbon and
Duke de Marmelade seemed nobodies.
Duke de la Grande-Terre had visiting
cards of 18mo size engraved, and with
them and title engraved on them he
managed to get new loans from usurers.
He had, while negotiating these loans,
laid by $4,000 for himself, which he
invested in French 3's, which brought
him some $400 year income, on which
he lived in anything but ducal splendor,
as you may readily imagine. His ducal
palace was bed-chamber on the sixth

AN ADVENTURE In NATAL,

When | first went into the country
near the Bay OF Natal, things were very
different from what they are now; there
were not nearly SO many Caffres in the
country, and there were no white men
except our own party of /" Mensch."
Game was in plenty; bucks and Glands
were on the hills where Pietermaritz-
burg now stands; elephants browsed at
Eusdorrs; hippopotami swarmed along
the banks of the Umganie and in the
Sea-Cow Lake. and many a monster
which has now sought more secure
retreats was then to be seen in the neigh
borhood of the bay.
| built myself a beehive-shaped hut
like one of the Caffres, on the open
ground near the Umbilo, and cultivated
little piece of ground near it, but hav-
ing span OF five oxen and wagon
did not care to remain quiet in one spot.
To trek and to shoot and trek again was
what / always liked. Those men who
like being shut up in your houses or
towns scarcely know what it is to
live. Give me fine open plain, good
horse under me, fifty miles of turf all
around and then feel free.
Well, l had lived about three weeks
near the Umbilo when my Hottentot
Plache came one day to me in great
fright and told me that he had seen 1.-THE
biggest snake that ever was" that it had
crossed the Umbilo River and had en-
entered some long reeds about a half
mile from my hut. He said that the
snakes head was on one side while the
tail was on the other side of
the Umbilo. Now, this river is not very
broad, but if what the man told me were
true the snake must have been over
thirty feet in length. ] knew that a
specie of boa-constrictor was to be found
about here, for l had shot one sixteen
feet long as l was coming from the old
colony to the bay
did not trouble myself to look after
the snake, for there was a large swamp
with long reeds extending for more than
mile along the banks of this river,
with cover enough to conceal five hun
bred snakes.
About a month after Plache's inter-
view with the boa, there fell vast
quantity of rain and the river rose and
flooded the whole of this swamp. The
nearest piece of dry land to the river
was the little rising-ground which l had
turned over and sowed with meales, and
on which my hut stood.
One evening, during the time that the
flood was out, | came back from shoot
ing just as the sun was setting. ! had
shot a large buck which had found out
in the open ground, behind the Eerea
Bush. Plache was with me. and left
him and Caffre to bring in the buck.
whilst l returned home alone, to pre-
