OF the three cities in which the great
est scenes of the Mutiny were enacted
Lucknow is to-day by far the most
beautiful. Where the cruellest deeds
in the bitter tragedy of Cawnpore We're
done a fair garden has been laid out,
and into this no native is permitted to
come. A cross of white marble upon a
black pedestal stands to mark the site
of Mana Sahib's Bibighar, or women's
quarters. in which, at his brutal or

were dore to death Over the we'll there

figure Of the Angel of the Resurrec-

late LORD Elgin, runs: Sacred to the

delicate mauve bourganvillias make
splendid color. Before the beautifully

feelings that one mounts the tower

BLACK NAPOLEONS.
Zulu Kings Who Have Been Con-
demned to Exile.

Once again St. Helena has become the
prison of Great Britain. Seventy-tWo
years ago Napoleon entered on his six
years exile there, fretting and fun
ing in his superb loneliness, with moth
ing to survey but those seven-and-
forty square miles which the little ISL
and is composed of. To-day three
kinglets live in exile there-namely,
Dinizulu, the son, Ndabuko and Tshin-
CANA. the brother and half-brother Of
the great Zulu, Cetewayo. 1t is not
the mere fact of st. Helena being the
prison that makes me speak of the ex-
lied chiefs as BLACK Napoleons," for
the Zulu, since the beginning of the
century, had been the greatest war
rior in South Africa. When the Eng
lish first landed at Port Natal, Chaka,
the Chief, dominated the whole of the
southeastern seaboard, from the Linn
popo to Cape Colony. Chaka was
killed by his brother in 1873, and sue
ceeded by another, called Dingaan, who
warred against the Beers and was de-
feated by them in 1898. The Cape
Government took military possession
Of the country in 1871, and felt bound
to blot out the Zulu under Cetewayo in
1SS3-S4. When the great Chief died,
or was poisoned in 1884, the quarrel
was continued by his son, Dinizulu, and
in 1888 he and his uncles were ban
ished to St. Helena. All the exiled
Chiefs are married, Dinizulu having
actually two wives. The wives of the
elder Chiefs have their hair dressed in
the cone which is the proper coiffure
of Zulu married women. This. how
ever. cannot lawfully be done till all
the marriage rites are duly completed;
and, as this was impossible in Dini-
zulu's case (his marriage having taken
place only during his exile), the brides
had to be contented with a partial cere-
mony, and will only be able to dress
their hair on their return home, after
the remaining observances have been
gone through with. With the Chiefs
in exile there is an old man, Paul Mtim-
kulu. a catechist from Cape Town, who
was invited by Cetewayo many years
ago to settle in Zululand and teach his
people. When the Chiefs We're ex-
lied. "Dr. Paul" as the Zulus call him,
accompanied them of his own accord,
and has since married a st. Helena
woman. 1t may be mentioned that

Zulu attendants who accompanied the
party Tor We're sent out later by the
Government all came of their own free
will. Those who have advocated the
release of the Chiefs argue that they
will be welcomed by the whole Zulu
people, who have never ceased TO sor-
row for the woes of their royal house.
