CETTE WAYO,

Cettewayo, the Zulu king, is no more.
He died with his boots on-if he ever wore
any boots-and his hundred wives and
most of his chiefs followed him to the
Zulu heaven, where fighting takes the place
of the golden harps of the Christian para
disc and ostrich feathers are substituted
for white robes as an article of wearing
apparel. Cettewayo was great man in
his way. He was born of royal lineage
and early developed a fondness for the
tistic arena. When but ten years he wore
the champion belt of lightweight sluggers
in all Zululand land it may be parenthe-
tically remarked that this was all he wore)
at sixteen he had vanquished all corners,
stolen their sweethearts and married them
according to the Zulu rites at twenty he
slugged his father so badly that he died,
when he assembled the throne and became
boss of the Zulu ring.
For a time Get. and his followers had a
hard time of it threshing the rest of the
tribe into obedience to his commands.
They succeeded, however, when Get. at
once began to look around for more worlds
to conquer. He whipped all the neigh Dor
ing native tribes in detail, administered a
castigation to the Beers, and then set
about conquering the great British nation.
This time he found he had bit off more
than he could chaw, and was soon over
powered and taken prisoner. It is against
the policy of the British government to
shooHprisoners of war, and so he wasItaken
to London, where he was presented with
due formality to Queen Victoria and the
royal prlncesses. Modesty was never one
of Cettewayo's characteristics, and he at
once proposed to take the good queen and
her bevy of handsome daughters to Zulu
| land, where they might become rulers of
his harem. He was much grieved
because his offer was declined and went
| forth from the palace, knocked down three
or four of the royal guards, and got STAY
ing blind drunk on gin and molasses.
After awhile he was sent back to his ma
tive country and reinstated upon the throne.
But one of the neighboring chiefs began to
twig him on his bad luck. This rolled
Cettewayo to such an extent that he mar
shaled his followers and proceeded to
extinguish his adversary. The result,
proved, however, that he himself was
extinguished, and his royal remains have
long ere this been artistically cremated
and his ashes scattered to the four winds
of heaven.
Thus does greatness perish. It is sad
for Cettewayo to be thus overpowered, and
Saddar still for his nuD1 arouc xuiva- 1,bo
were obliged to follow in his footsteps to
paradise. But so it is in this unfeeling
world. Hic jocet.

NOT FOR EDMUNDS.

The Denver Tribune rules out acting vice
President Edmunds. It will be folly for
the Republican party to nominate Ed
munds for the Presidency, says that in1u-
entail exponent of Republican opinion.
He has been steadily against the West and
the West will be solidly against him. He
is in no sense an available man, we doubt
if he could carry a single state west of
Kansas. He must not even be considered.
After this earnest protest it would be su-
preme weakenes to go any farther with the
Edmunds 'boom." 1t is to be hoped that
the acting vice-president has had an en-
joyable journey through the west, and he
ought to congratulate himself that he has
drawn the fire of the opposition to his can
didacy in such good season. By accepting
the situation as it is, he will save himself
great personal modification. Without re-
gard to party the the country seems to be
determined to dispense with the services
of these who have run the government
since 1869. Turn the Rascals out.

A Perfdious Partner,

There arrived in this city from the old
country few weeks ago German named
Jacob Schroeder, shoemaker by trade and
the father of numerous progeny of chill
dren. He set up in business at the cornerof
Sixth and Rosabel streets, and, being IN
able to converse in English, he took in as
a partner young man named Frank
Anderson. Yesterday the old man received
a draft from the old country for S55, and
as it was after banking hours he put the
treasure in his coat pocket
and hung the garment behind door.
Having occasion to go out about o'clock,
he was surprised on returning to find that
his partner was missing and with him had
gone thecoat and wallet containing the draft
and some small change. The police were
notified of the affair, but up to a late hour
Anderson was still at large.

Suit for Payment of interest.

New YORK, July 26.-Henry Sanger, of
this city, filed a complaint to-day in the
United States circuit court against the
Canada Southern Railroad company for
the recovery of S2,24O unpaid interest on
certain bonds. The complaint alleges
that on July 1, 1870, the Michigan Midland
& Canada Railroad company executed
bonds, with coupons for interest falling
due at the expiration of each six months.
ending January 1, 1874. At the maturity
of the bonds it is alleged the president
and secretary of the Canada Southern
railway executed and guaranteed to pay
the principal and interest of those bonds.
The defendant alleges he presented these
bonds to the Michigan Midland & Canada
Railway company, but they refused to pay
the interest, whereupon they were pre-
sented to the defendant, who also refused
to pay

BASED upon the figures of the Millers'
National association the wheat crop of the
country will, in round numbers, reach
400,000,000 bushels. The total estimated
yield in twenty states and one territory,
from the most accurate data possible to
secure, the yield Will be 358,69O,7OO
bushels. The decrease in this territory
from last year is 20 per cent. In some
localities the yield is very unequal, as for
instance on sixteen farms adjacent to the
town of Centralia, Illinois, the average
product was little less than two bushels
to the acre. In large wheat field near
Quincy, in the same state. the yield was
thirty bushels to the acre. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate accurately, but there
is reason to expect, when the returns are
all in, that the crop will be as above stated.
