ZULUS IN SHAM CATTLE.

A Realistic Spectacle Even to the Killing
of the Wounded.
A sham fight among the Zulus is an
impressive spectacle, says the Detroit
Free Press. The dusky warriors are
fine, muscular fellows, athletic and
highly trained. The rank and file, I'M
trammelcd by ornaments and dress,
move about with grace and freedom.
The officers, chiefs and head men wear
coronets of ostrich feathers, which
rustic freely with every movement OF
the body; circling their brows are rolls
of tiger skin from which descend
fringes of course hair; from the neck
and shoulders to the knees their bodies
are covered with the tails of monkeys
and tigers and stripes of various hides
strung together in girdles; their waists
are girt about with tufts of lions name
and cow hair. Forming into line, their
variegated shields are so close and reg
ular that they appear interlocked,
while above them bristle rows of gleam-
assegai heads The foe is imaginary,
as even among their own tribes they
are reused to such pitch of excite
ment that, had they any opponents,
though only in mimic warfare, they
would be SO far carried away by their
feelings that at close quarters blood
shed would inevitably result. At the
word of command they advance in pre-
else order, first slowly, then at quick
march, then double, and with shout
of "Chiela!" Imaginary enemics) the
battle becomes fast and furious. Bran
dishing their assegais, stabbing and
lunging with strength and dcxtcrity,
each stroke accompanied by fierce
grunt of satisfaction, stamping, gesticu-
lating and gnashing their teeth, they
work themselves into Il mad frenzy, in
which their features are distorted and
their eyes glare with fierce lust of
blood.
Suddenly the command is given to re-
ire, and, as victors shouting triumph,
they march from the field. Then ap-
pears upon the scene horde of wild
looking creatures, running and leaping
from place to place, screaming dcmoni-
acally, and frantically beating the
earth with thick heavy clubs, These
are the women and they are engaged in
the horrible atrocity of killing the
wounded After q sham fight the night
is spent in feasting and revelry.

Farm Hands in England.

The scarcity of farm laborers in some
of the agricultural districts of England
has given great annoyance to the land
ed proprietors and farmers. The dull
''Chawbacon" or Hodge" of old Eng
land has become cnterprising in these
times, and is desirous of trying life il
the cities, where hordes of miserables
have their abode, or getting away to
some other country. The employers
are apprehensive that, within few
years, only the laggards of the rural
regions will be left to do the hard work
OF the fields for the paltry wages that
are paid to them.

Ercnch-Canadian4.

The Abbe Dugas says that among the
chief causes of the ruination of French
Canadians are the love of pleasure and
dress, intemperance, idlcness, demoral-
ization brought on by the political sys-
tenn, and dislike for agriculture, due
perhaps to the too large number of
young men indiscriminately trained in
the higher spheres of studies. ano who
later on, finding no opening. become
idlers and burdens on society.

On Her Are Theatre, BAH Room, Cafe,
Hotel, Home for Invalids, Barber shop
and Seventy Workmen.
One Of the most pleasant pleasure trips
that can be taken from Wilmiuk ION ia
one day and at little cost is an excursion
TO Cape May on the paleiial steamer
Republic The growth in the popularity
OF these trips this season, has been won
derful.
The Republic is the largest steamboat
Of her class on local waters her length
is nearly 300 feet, and her crew consists
Of seventy men who are under the com
mand Of Captain QuicksRll one Of the
ablest and most experienced nRvigators
on the Delaware river. He Is assisted by
three pilots and three engineers, each of
whom commands his quota of men. The
steward Is the maitre o'hotsl, and dsily
attends to the catering TO as large
number OF guests as ever registered In
any hotel In this country. The officers
| aud crew are as courteous as they are
efficient, aud when It does not interfere
with their duties, take pleasure in ex-
planning to passengers matters Ia regard
u running the great enterprise which
they have the privilege Of being con
nected with.
The concert and variety performances
are under the direction OF samuel d.
| Speck, who is the pianist and wielder of
the baton Bis selection of support
| shows his good taste as a caterer Of
amusement, for he has as good a vaude-
vile company as could be chosen for such
ar entertainment as Is presented on this
steamboat. The orchestra was formerly
with Bristols Horse SHOW and few bands
can beat 1t either in strength or excel
lence. The spacious decks of the Repub
lie are ample to accommodate q large
number Of dancers, and the musls, which
is supplied by string band, under the
direction of Professor Brian, is superb
The Republic is literally supplied with
state rooms; invalids taking this trip as
a benefit for their health will fnd these
rooms haven, In whose quiet seclusion
q delicious and recuperRtive rest may be
obtained. The dining room, decorated
in white, blue and gold, has extensive
accc mmodations for its guests, while
the service is good and the cuisine both
varied and excellent. A great feature OF
the boat is the barber shop, where A g,
Davies handles the steel as efficiently on
the briny deep as any tonsoiial ar,ist on
shore. A cafe for less elaborate meal
than those provided in the dining room
and light lunch department are also
departures which tend to augment the
success Of the Republic.
After three hours stop at Cape May
the Republic starts homeward, not wish
the same jaded and toll worn throng OF
passengers she had at the start but with
people refreshed, invigorated and de-
lighted by the delicious trip they have SC
much enjoyed, and mentally resolving tc
make the excursion again and often.
One journey on the Republic does moi
suffice to see and hear all that is to be
seen or heard, for one trip must be taker
to enjoy all the varied amusements pre-
sented, and another to view the varying
vistas of the New Jersey and Delawar,
shores

settling the nomination for Presidency In

These considerations give the campaign

tion Governor Campbell said;
The battle before US ia essentially a
national one. Not only Is this true
because the result must seriously affect
next years federal elections. but also
because the Republicans of Ohio have
unreservedly identified themselves with
every phase Of the iniquitous legislation
accomplished or attempted bY the Fifty
First Congress. Pre- emlnently also does
the Republican leader in Ohio (whose

manly things, or ordinary things in

without changing the laws of Yale and
without ineurripg embarrassments fol

the very striking and very truthful OBJ
servGtion that, while there has been so
much talk of New South, 10 should
