DEATH OF PRINCE NAPOLEON.
A Native Account of the Tragic End OF
Eugenie's Last Hope.

CLEVELAND, o., November l7.-Among
number Of Zulus now exhibiting at a
Dime Museum here is Charley, the Chief
of the party, who is an intelligent native.
He has picked up considerable Of the En-
glsh language, and has joined the Ma.
sons. In an interview last evening, he
described the killing Of Prince Napoleon,
saying;
"The English used US badly We knew
the English could whip Us in battle, and
80 we enticcd them into the junglcs,
where we kept hid until disease had
taken many of Us off. They first sent
out regiment which we cut up; then
1--WE regiments, and then an army under
Lord Wolselcy. The Prince Imperial
came then. The English had not seen
Zulu, although there were thousands OF
us hid in the long grass and corn. About
noon the Prince Imperial, with two or
three companions, rode about a mile ahead
Of the rest, and dismounted in spot
surrounded by tall grass and corn. They
evidently thought there was no danger,
but our scouts were hid everywhere, and
mounted party Of English were eating.
The chief ordered 200 men to surround
and kill the party, When we were close
TO them one of our men exposed himself,
and they discovered US and ran for their
horses, while our Uen rushed forward.
The Princes horse plunged and broke
its saddle, and just then one OF our
men threw an asSegai that struck the
Prince IN the eye. 1t was thrown so hard
that it lifted him out Of the saddle. When
our men came up he was writing in ag-
ony on the ground and one of US ran a
spear through his heart, Then others ran
their spears into him several times and
the body was badly cut up"
Chief Charlie said he was present when
the Princes mother visited the spot
where her son was killed and kissed the
ground.
The ZuluS are homesick, and are con-
tinually begging the agent to take them
home.

A Bright Pioture-wm 1t Materializep

CHARLESTON, S. c., November H.
The Ne,oS and Courier publishes to-day
the views of Governor Hampton and
twenty-four Democratic County Chair
men in this State as to the effect Of Cleye-
lands election on the political and indus
trial condition Of the South. The words
and phrases of the correspondents differ,
but the same thoughts run through
the whole array Of opinions
and suggestions, They say frank
ly that the election Of Cleveland
means more money and less politics in
South Carolina; that there will be gen.
eral revival OF industries; that manufac-
lures will be stimula ed and developed by
the application Of additional capital; that
the working people will be better paid;
that the price Of farm lands and real
estate generally will advance; that there
will be for the whole people, without dis
tinction OF condition or class, an era of
political and industrial progress.

Works, in Elizabethport, n. j., were
alarmed Saturday by the announcement OF
the discharge of GOO OF their number, and
that 500 more would be discharged this
week The working hours have been re-
duced to forty-two hours week. The
reason for the discharge of so many en-

manufacturing the old family machine In
addition to this, the Southern, Western

ganglng the compensation. Eleven years
have elapsed since the adoption Of that
basis. In this period over $4,000 miles
of road have been added TO the system;
the amount Of mail matter carried has
increased In still greater ratio; and the
care, efficiency and accuracy with which
the mails are handled and distributed
have reacheda degree of excellence approx
mating perfection. It's not astonishing
therefore, he says, that the methods OF
compensation adopted when the great
work of distribution transit was In the
experimental stages are not adapted to the
present requirements of the public SER
vice. The rates OF compensation recon-
mended by the Committee Of Department
officials recently appointed TO devise an
improved plan for gauging the pay for
carrying the mails on railroad routes, In
his Judgment, are fair and reasonable.
The object sought Is the improvement OF
the present concedcdly insufficient and
imperfect laws. The opposition to the
committees plan so far has been only OF
an obtrusiyc character, for nothing def-
mite has been proposed In Its place to SUI
perScde the present Objectionable system.
This in effect, serves 70 perpctuate ola
errors, involving among other things the
serious consequence for the current year
Of the expenditure Of more than Il half
million dollars Of public money unneces-
sarly. For these reasons he submits and
urges the passage of bill by Congress
embodying the recommendations OF the
committee for the rcadjustment OF com
pensation for the transportation OF mails
on railroad routes.
Mr. Lyman's estimates for the needs OF
the service for the year ending June 30,

upon the subject of cattle breeding, and
delighted the convention with some new

with sympathetic laughter now aud then.

Improvement by Crossing.

Much is said In agricultural journals
about the benefits that may be secured BY
a judicious ''crossing" of different breeds
of animals. Various trials have shown
this fact to the satisfaction of all.
Erhnologists tell US that the same law
prevails with respect to the human race
that mixture of species brings an i'm
proved mental and physical condition
that family or race, shut up to itself will
in time deteriorate and run out; and on
the other hand, that third stock, from
two races blended, is generally superior
to either of the parent stems.
1t is claimed that the French and the
English are mixed races, and hence their
superiority over other nations without this
advantage.
Ii these things are so. how much we
have as "A nation to hope for. All creation
is being mixed up here. What a race of
giants. physically and intellectually. we
shall be when Dutch, and Irish, and
Swedes and Norwegians. and Indians, and
Chinese. and Ethiopians are mixed up
with each other and all the rest. so that no
one will know himself, nor what part he
forms of the coming man."
We surely, as a nation. have the best
chance for improvement in this line. We
have only begun to see the commence
ment of our greatness,

Wintering Potatoes.

Prices Of potatoes are generally enough
higher in the spring than in the fall to pay
well for keeping them over. One year
we remember when they could be bought
in any quantity in November at fifty cents
a bushel, good article brought two dol
lars bushel the following spring. Pota-
toes keep best away from light, air and
excessive moisture. and at q low temper
AZURE, a few degrees above freez-
ing. Where there Is good cellar
room for storing the crop, nothing further
Is wanted, but often this is lacking and bur-
wing must be resorted to. Aside from the
labor there are few disadvantages in bury
ing potatoes. They should be stored upon
the surface Of the ground in any dry place
in heaps Of from thirty to one hundred
bushels each. A light covering of straw is
thrown over the heap. and on this heavy
covering of earth sufficient to keep out Sc
we're frost and water A coat Is inches
deep might answer. but one or two feet
would be safer. Where the soil is perfect
ly drained, there NAV be an excavation
several feet deep made. in which to start
the pile. Some in such places even 'ad-
vocate making pits large enough so that
the storage will all take place beneath the
surface. Where it is desirable to get at
potatoes in the winter. cheap vaults or
cellars for storing them are sometimes
made in hillsides to hold from 800 TO l.
800 bushels. 10 cellars it answers well
TO keep the crop by barreling, but this is
not as economical of space as to store in
hulk.

Stock i'm Orchards.

1t is bad plan to allow cattle, sheep
or horses 10 run in an orchard during the
winter; for small trees, unless we'll pro-
tected by stakes. are almost certain to be
killed, and large ones injured by horses
and cattle eating off the limbs. and sheep
taking the bark from trunks.
The injury arising from the limbs being
broken while frozen is greater than most
farmers supposed it to be. 1t will be
found by examination the following sum-
mer that they have died above where the
injury was first made.
Nature has provided for trees winter
covering of grass and leaves as protec-
ton to those roots which run near the sur
face. Horses and sheep gnaw the ground
bare, entirely removing this shield. and
the tree is retarded in its growth or is
killed outright by the severe action of the
frost.
1t is advocated by some farmers that
sheep are benefit to the orchard in sum-
mer, that they prevent injury from the
codling moth. This may be true. but
there can be nothing gained by allowing
stock of any kind to run in the orchard
during winter.

as effective as it is amusing. He was riding

he resided, and, as he was passing by he pulled

sudden stop. The conductor rushed into the
car and demanded; "Who ruug that bell?'

Because want to get of" At which the
railroad official INDUCED in some remarks
which were not complimentary and hardly
respectful. The judge afterwards complained
to the president of the road, who promised
To lock into the matter. But he found
that although the conductor might have used
hot language the chief justice was not with
out fault. and said nothing about it, When
they next met, by chance. the latter demand
ed of the president whether he had
reprimanded the conductor II spoke to him. '
