In attracting the attention Of the civil

sort Of social recognition in London
during his princely captivity. Cetewayo
was the son Of Panda and n nephew OF
Chaka, who usurped the Zuld throne by
ousting his half brother, Uzingojona,
and proved q very effective monarch.
On Panda's death Cetewayo succeeded

into the famous war with England, IN
which the Prince Imperial perished,
and which COST the Zulu bis throne. tie
He'd into the Wilds with handful OF
followers in 1879, and his subsequent

The present strike at the Wellington

great strike in 1877, when the Yelling

mand for 81 25 ton of coal mined had
been refused. They we're previously

raj months. The houses occupied by
the miners and their families were
then. as now, the property of the CON-
pany. When demand for possession
vas made the miners refused to yacate
the houses. Then the Sheriff and
posse were sent to the scene, and at
tempted to dispossess the strikers Re-
sistance was offered, and the official and
his men were beaten of. The militia

militia promptly responded, the CON-

place of the strikers. The first lot who
came were the toughest men who ever

BASE BALL.
THE DUDES EXTER1INATED BY THE
CRANKS.

CRANkS.
Probably the most interesting game
of ball ever played in Milford, was
that of Tuesday last, between the
Dudes and Cranks ofthis town. Many
lady friends of the Dudes were en-
gagged all of Monday making wreaths
and preparing garlands for their victO-
riOus friends. A handsome flag was
also prepared, on which was the word
Victory" This was to be thrown to
the winds as soon as the winning run
was scOred,an presented to the Dudes
All of these preparations were made
upon the assurance of their friends,
that they were sure to win. The
Cranks won the toss and sent their OPP
ponents to the bat. Mr.. n. Macklin
acted as umpire and D. Hirsch and A.
Morris as scorers. After four innings
were played, thee of the Dudes gave
out, and were placed in the grand
stand, where restOratives were admin
istered at the hands of the fair sex.
They revived, but were unable to re-
rune their positions in the field, and
breathlessly awaited the result. At
this time the captain of the Cranks,
(WhO is an old base ballist) informed
the other Cranks, that the next in-
nings was the one for them to make the
Dudes Cranky" They took him at
his word and batted the Dude pitcher
for ten runs. This caused the invalid
Dudes in the grand stand, to faint,and
they were removed from the field un-
der the tender care of their lady
friends: sun flowers were laid On their
manly bosom, and the beautiful Dude
flag was gracefully dTaped over them.
They were able to be on the street on
Wednesday morning, and were ex-
planning why their nine were defeated.
The score at the end of the seventh in
ming was 4S to Is ia favor Ofthe Cranks. I
No bOquets were presented; but the /
Dude flag was furled, and both clubs /
returned home well pleased. but GER
