Tough old Zulu Chiefs.

The old chiefs in South America
know nothing about trekking, and on
several occasions became so impatient
that they started off on foot ahead Of
tha wagons. writes a correspondent of
fine London Iciegraph. One day they
had to walk thirty-seven miles before
reaching water, and then had to wait
tro days on scant rations before we
came up with them. One of these men
!. seyentv-fye years old, but the tough
o,d Zulu (the Matabele rulers are of
Zulu origin was none the worse fort
e,capade
On another occasion, in spite of our
warnings, they left us. armed only
with assegais in the worst part of the
lion country. When we followed a
few hours afterward we saw to our
horror that their footprints in the sand
had been partially obliterated by the
,poor Of lion. Fortunately, how
ever he had followed them only for
some hundred yards, and then, proba-
byuot being hungry he wandered off
toward pool of water.
Such yagaries were TO us a source of
constant anxiety, for how could we
face l0e king without bringing back
hi, luduuas? Our own lives would not
have been safe We should have been
claimed as impostors or accused Of
wItcbcratt.
However, we managed to divert
their minds and keep them employed
al the wagons by shooting twenty-six
gray monkeys for them. The skins of
tai, particular species are only worn
by royalty or big chiefs.

Em1n Pasha and the Rebellion at the
Equator.

The above is the title of new book lust
issued 10 London and New York, complete
in one volume, that will be read NTH great
interest throughout the civilized world.
Lieutenant Mouuteney -Jephson, the au.
thor, was one of Mr.. Stanley's officers in the
Emin Pasha Relief expedition, and when
Mr.. Stanley found it necessary to return
through the Great Forest for the missing
and Inflated rear column OF the expedition
he sent Lieutenant Jephson with 20 men to
carry to Emin Pasha's followers and troops
in Eguatoria, at the stations which he had
established IN the Province, the message If
relief, and to explain Stanley's nilsson Of
rescue. He was there when the Rebellion
broke out, and both he and the Governor
were made prisoners while anarchy reigned
in the Province.
Mr.. Jephson's narrative OF exciting Incl
dents Is as thrilling as his description of the
character of the people and soldiers is inter-
esting. His book is so graphic and detailed
a picture of the Province, of the native
tribes, and of the Egyptian Soldiery that
held it against the Mahdi's forces. that its
pages throw flood of light upon the real
nature of the problem which Sir Samuel
Baker, Gordon, and lastly EHin haye tried
to solve. He weaves into his narrative
much Interesting information about the
birds and wild animals, the surface and re-
sources of the country, habits and customs
of the natives, modes Of warfare, etc. No
more interesting book on African explora-
ton and adventure has ever been written.
Mr.. Stanley says of it: "There1s within the
covers of your volume much matter that is
quite new to me, much that Is extremely
thrilling and exciting, and the whole is re-
lated with very enviable literary tact and
skill"
The book is sold emily by SUBSCRIPTION,
and persons desiring to secure agencies will
find the publishers announcement in another

A funny incident happened at the First
National Bank this morning. Two miners
who were burned by powder at the mine
and wore plasters over their faces, hiding
almost all but their eyes, were surprised to
see the cashier skip out the back way, and,
while they were waiting, they were rudely
confronted by three burly policemen. They
were taken for bank robbers, by the cash
Ter, but all was soon explained and the
services of the police were dispensed with.
