How Cctynayo Became King.

Umbande was desirous to see his eld-
est son Umbulazi placed at the head of
the Zulu nation; but Cetywsyo, a
younger and more ambitious prince, was
determined to dispute the succession,
and the father, seeing no sign of having
his own way, said to his sons, "You
may fight it out" The nation was i'm
mediately thrown into intense excite
ment. Swords were sharpened, OK hides
converted into shields and day fixed on
which the two parties of Zulus under
their respective chiefs were to settle the
matter of sovereignty. A moro bloody
lattle was perhaps never fought in Zulu
AID. No mercy was shown to either
sev. The infant was speared on its
m ,ther's breast, old and young alike
were butchered. Umbulazi was proba-
bly, assegaid, as he was never seen af-
tcrward; and it was reported that nearly
or quite 10000 Zulus were either killed
in battle or drowned in the river Tugela
which forms the northern boundary OF
this colony. In timo Cetywayo' became
king.-Neto York Observer.

Living by Rule.

Oliver Wendell Holmes thinks that he
owes his good saith sad the retention
-5f his mentaiEigor, in Els etghsJ 6rst.i
year, to the extreme care he has long
taken of himself. Never robust, he was
still wiry in his earlier and maturer life,
but since he reached eighty his hygienic
vigilance is unceasing. The rooms that
he daily occupies arc equipped with bar
ometers, thermometers, aerometers, every
kind of instruments, in short, to prevent
his mourning the slightest risk of taking
cold. He knows that pneumonia is the
most formidable foe Of old age, and he is
determined to keep it at distance If
possible. He never gets up until he
knows the exact temperature, during
winter, or takes his bath without having
the water accurately tested. he liyes by
rule, and the rule is inhexible. His time
is scrupulously divided, so much allotted
to reading, so much to writing, so much
to exercise, so much to recreation. His
meals are studies of prudence and diges-
ton. He understands the specific quail
ties of all ordinary foods, and never
departs from the sTNercst discretion in
eating. pa.
One might think that it wd6td be a
serious infraction to keep up exercise by
such precise methods. But the little
doctor enjoys them, having settled firmly
in these habits years ago. Philosophic as
he is about death, he has an eager curl
osity to see how long he can live by fol-
lowing the laws he has vigorously pre-
scribed for himself. he has long had
various theories on the subject of health
and longevity, and he relishes expert
menting upon himself He thinks some

which he would dearly like, if he could
retain, as he has retained thus far, the
full possession of all his faculties- Chi

THREE OF A KIND.
The Affairs of Lockwood, Damron and
Chadwick.

Justice w. G. Lockwood was arraigned
yesterday morning before Judge McKin-
ley, on the information charging him
with having harbored and protected a
person charged with felony. Counsel
for the defense asked that Monday next
be set as the time for pleading. Judge
Mckinley transferred the cause to de-
partment 1, and set Tuesday next for
time to plead.
The three charges of forgery now ex-
listing against J. M. Damron will come
up for examination before Justice Aus
tin next Friday. The hearing of the
first case is set for 10 O'Clock.
The writ of habeas corpus sued out by
j. S. Chadwick, who is charged with j.
M. Damron of having forged the sigma
ture of E. T. Wright to note fer $40,
was yesterday dismissed by Judge Nc
Kinley. The court stated that certainly
the testimony adduced before the COM
mitting magistrate was not very strong,
yet he was not prepared to say that
there was not probable cause to make
the petitioner stand trial, especially as
he had reserved his defense, and what
he might have to say for himself was
consequently lacking. The writ would
therefore be denied. Chadwick was
then arraigned, and G.. G. Stephens, his
interposed a general demurrer
to the information, which will be argued
today. The court ordered defendant to
file new bond in the sum of $500.
If the demurrer is overruled Chadwick
will ask for a speedy trial.

ABOUT FALSE TEETH.
DENTIST ADAMS AND MRS. HICKS
OF SAN BERDOON.
He Has Her Arrested Because She Didn't
Like the Teeth He Made for Her and
Would Not Pay $40.

Mrs. Adna Hicks, of San Bernardino,
last Saturday ordered an upper and a
lower set OF teeth from S. H. Adams. 1t
was agreed that the work was to cost
$40, and Mrs. Hicks paid $40 down.
The sets did not give satisfaction
to the lady who yesterday stated
her objections to the dentist at
his Office. The upper set was satisfactory
but the lower set she pronounced use
less. According to her testimony she
was told that she could not leave until
the balance of $40 had been paid and
that the lower set was as good as the
upper. She offered to visit another
chronological artist for the purpose OF
getting his opinion as to the fit of the
lower set. As Adams still insisted that
she pay him she started for the door
when he stopped her by force and by
stander had to interfere. She then Of
fered to return the lower set
and go with the upper one,
for which she had already paid
her money. This proposition was just
as unacceptable, and the dentist left to
swear out complaint for the woman's
arrest on the charge of petty larceny,
which was granted by the district attor-
ney. 1t charged her with the larceny of
two sets of teeth, valued at 500. Realiz-
ing that she was going to be exposed to
considerable vexation, Mrs. Hicks re-
turned both sets, but she was neverthe-
less arrested. She demanded an imme
diate trial, which came off before
Justice King late yesterday afternoon.
The story brought out on the witness
stand was substantially that Adams
and Mrs. Hicks had made contract,
that she had paid half the money down,
was dissatisfied with half of the
dentists work, and that she had started
to show his work to another, because he
claimed that it was good, and she in
sisted that it was not.
Justice King continued the time for
giving his decision till this morning.

A BOLD RoBBER.
A Chinaman Cut in Open Daylight and
Relieved of SI2.

All Sing, a weazened little Chinaman
who does chores for a Spring-street
Photographic gallery, was walking
through Benjamin street, near China
town, at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
holding in his hand twelve dollars.
Loui Tung, big heather, saw the
money glistening in the other mans
hand and made grasp for it. All Sing
defended himself as best he could, and
when Loui Tung saw that he could not
force the coin out of the little mans
fist he pulled out knife and severely
slashed him on the lower inside part of
the thumb. This caused All Sing to drop
the money and Loui Tung having gath
cred it up, ran away. He was captured
few minutes later by Detectives Auble
and Bowler and brought to the station.
The prisoner had managed to dispose of
the money before his arrest, as only 45
cents was found on him. Some of his
highbinder friends, however, offered to
return the $l2 to All Sing if he would
not prosecute, but the offer was not ac-
cepted. The prisoner was, shortly after
his arrest, arraigned before Justice Aus
tin and sent to the county jail in default
of 800 bail. His examination will
come off tomorrow at O'Clock.
