while the solid earth shook beneath the
thunder of their rushing feet thought
of my poor friends tho Dutchmen and
trembled. What chance had they
against so many?
Now the Zulus, running in the shape
OF bow so as to wrap the lager round
on three sides, were within seventy
yards, and now from every wagon broke
tongues of fire. Over rolled a number
of the Umterwa, but the rest cared lit
tie. On they rushed right up to the
lager, striving to force a way in. But
the Beers piled them with volley after
volley, and packed as the Zulus were,
the elephant guns loaded with slugs and
small shot did frightful execution. Only
one man ever got on to wagon, and IS
he did so saw Boer woman strike him
on the head with an axe. He fell back,
and slowly, amid bowls of derision from
the two lines on the hillside, the Zulus
drew back.

laughing. Swat a minute and the
little girls will grow to women, and
women are good enough to fight against

The attacking Zulus heard the mock
cry of their fellows and rushed forward
again with roar. But the Beers in the
lager had found time to load, and they
met with warm reception. Reserving
their fire till the Zulus were packed like
sheep in kraal they loosed into them
with the roers, and the warriors fell in
little heaps But saw that the blood
of the Umtetwas was up. They did not
mean to be beaten back this time, and
leapt on to a wagon, slain the man be-
hind it and sprung into the lager.
They were killed there, but others fol-
lowed, and then l turned my head.

on his armand, putting his hands to
his mouth, called to US asking where
our cattle were.
Hans Botha climbed onto the top OF .
wagon and roared out that they might
answer that question themselves.
Then the herald called again. saying
that he saw that the cattle had been
sent away.

said; 'sthen we shall come and kill you,
because without cattle you must stop
where you are; but If we wait to kill
you before we get the cattle they may
have trekked too far for US to follow.
But If you try to run away We shall
easily catch you, white men,"
This struck me as a very odd speech.
for the Zulus generally attack an enemy
first and take his cattle afterwards;
still, there was certain amounS OF
FEASIBILITY about it. While I was still
wondering what it all might mean the
Zulus began to run past us in companies
toward the river. Suddenly shout an

of the cattle, and the whole Impi of
them started down it at run until they
vanished over rise about a quarter of q

We waited for half an hour or more,

A Numerous Family.

There are some good-sized families in
Maine to-day, but probably none so
large as one mentioned in the histories
of old colonial days. 1t is told on the
authority of Cotton Mather that the
first royal Governor of Boston was one
Of family of twenty-six children, and
was born in the woods of Maine near
the mouth of the Kennebec in 1851. His
mother was left a widow when he was a
child, and is said to have had all she
could do to provide for the wants of her
family. 1t is hoped that when the Gov
ernor got 500, 900, knighthood and a
goblet valued at s., 900 as a reward for
finding Spanish treasureship that
had gone to the bottom half century
before, he remembered his mother and
made her last days easier than her
earlier ones had been.

AN AFRICAN ROMANCE.
CHAPTER IV.-CONrINCED.

-
The parting was a heart-breaking
scene, upon which do not care to dwell.
The women wept, the men groaned and
the children looked on with scared white
faces. At length they were gone and l
for one was thankful of it. There re-
manned in the lager seventeen white
men, four natives, the two Boer fraus
who were too stout to travel, the woman
in child-bed and her baby and Hans
Botha's little daughter Tota, whom he
could not make up his mind to part with.
Happily her mother was already dead.
And here l may state that ten OF the
women and children, together with about
half of the cattle, escaped. The Zulu
Impi never saw them, and on the third
day of travel they came to the fortified
place of a Griqua chief, who sheltered
them on receiving half the cattle in pay
ment. Thence by slow degrees they
journeyed down to the Cape Colony,
reaching civilized region within lit
tie more than year from the date of the
attack on the lager.
The afternoon was now drawing to-
signs of the Impi. A wild hope struck
us that they might have gone on about
their business. Ever since linda balm bi
had heard that the regiment was sup
posed to belong to the Umtetwa tribe,
he had, noticed, been plunged in deep
thought. Presently he came to me and
volunteered to go out and spy upon their
movements. At first Hans Botha was
against this idea, saying that he was a
'.yerdomde swartzel"-an accursed black
creature would betray US. Ipoint-
ed out that there was nothing to betray
The Zulus must know where the wagons
were, but it was important for US to gain
information of their whereabouts. So 1t
was agreed that Indaba-zimbi should go.
l told him this. He nodded his white
lock, said "All right, Macumazahn," and
started. 1 noticed with some surprise,
however, that before he did SO he went
to the wagon and fetched his ''mouti,"
or medicine, which, together with his
own magical apparatus, he always car
ried in a skin bag. l asked him why he
did this. He answered that it was to
make himself invulnerable against the
spears of the Zulus. l did not in the
least believe his explanation, for in my
heart was sure that he meant to take
the opportunity to make bolt of it,
leaving me to my fate. did not, how
ever, interfere to prevent this, for had
an affection for the old fellow, and sim
,cerely hoped that he might escape the
doom which overshadowed US.
So Indaba-zimbi sauntered of, and as
I looked at his retreating form thought
1 should never see it again. But l was
mistaken, and little knew that he was

Banks to New York Tribune reporter.
| reminds me of an incident that &C.
Cured soon after the battle of Port Hud-
son, in which he gave me the race of my
life. General Grant paid the army
under my command visit at the period
mentioned and was asked to review it.
He brought with him no horses, and !
loaned him for the occasion the mag
nificent bay parade horse which the
patriotic citizens of Massachusetts pre-
sented to me when I went to the front
in 1862. All of my old soldiers will re-
member that bay horse. l rode on the
review q thoroughbred black mare, and
was in a constant state Of anxiety lest
she would run away with me when
warmed up. Well, the troops were
drawn up in line and we rode down the
front lines at slow pace, but when
we reached the rear lines Grant
would put the bay at his ut
most speed, and as he was near
ly thoroughbred he could run.
Grant sat on the bay as if he
was part of him, but the difficulty 1
found myself in was not to keep up at
the regulation distance, but to prevent
my animal from distancing the General
and running off with me. Grant rode
like demon and 1 after him until the
review was finished, the troops in the
meantime watching the scene with in
terest mingled with establishment. For
some days afterward the troops were
heard discussing the event and, as far
as can learn, never settled the ques
ton as to whether it was horse-race
or military review"
''While on the subject of horses, con-
tinued the General, 1.-The two animals
that took with me into the field at the
outbreak of the civil war survived all of
the campaigns in which 1 was engaged.
When returned to civil pursuits took
my horses back to Massachusetts, with
me and kept the faithful animals until
they died. The bay horse which 1 have
mentioned 1 rarely used except on pa
rade or in an emergency. He was too
valuable to risk his life on the field of
battle. 1 usually rode another bay in
battle, a big, powerful and jealous an

sions, but none of the wounds seemed to
be serious enough 70 incapacitate him
for active service. l rode him at the

risking his life, not for the Beers whom
no hated one and all, but for me whom
in his queer way he loved.
When he had gone we completed our
preparations for defense, strengthening
tho wagons and the thorns beneath with
earth and stones. Then at sunset We
ate and drank IS heartily as We could
under the circumstances, and when We
had done, Hans Botha, IS the head of
the party, offered up prayer to God for
our preservation. It was . touching
sight to see the burly Dutchman. his hat

Of the setting sun, praying aloud in
hou1ely. simple language to Him who
alone could save US from the spears Of .
cruel foe. I remember that the last
sentence of his prayer was: almighty,
If we must be killed, save the women
and children and my little girl Tota
from the accursed Zulus, and do not let
us be tortured"
I echoed the request very earnestly in

10 live IN houses. 30 we Single L Ak men
propose to take the necessary taxes out
of the value of the land, because, as you
can see, land has a value which is given
to it by the work of others besides the
owner.
Mr. Roys's land increased 700 per
cent. not because he improved it, but
because other people near him improved
their lands and the population near him
increased in number.
If Mr.. Roys held his land idle-and
he probably did-then he paid less taxes
on his land than the farmer next to him
who owned the same amount Of land.
Is that right? Both the man who
uses land and the man who holds it
idle or will not let others use it, if
they have land Of equal value should
pay the same tax on it because they
both have possession Of the same
amount of that article which every hu-
man being needs
II we tax houses we will have fewer
houses But we want more houses. do
we not? Should not every man have a
home? Then, why tax houses? II we

will not pay to speculate in land. and it
will not pay to keep it idle. 1t is neces-
sary for men to use land in order to live.
So if taxing lard will make the owners
put it to use, then those who are idle
will hnd employment and the tramp will
vanish out of The land. Land is meas
ured by its value. not by its area The

What . Knot Means.

Comparatively few newspaper readers
know. or have any special reason to
know, that knot is more than . mile,
and that six of the former equal about
seven of the latter. Accurately speah

THIS question is broader than party
lines. 1t is more vital than mere FORM

sential than the dominance OF any par

our life and is indissolubiy interviewer
with our existence.
