BUNU AND DINIZULU.
Native Chiefs in Southern Africa of
Whom the World May Hear
4 Great Deal.

There are three native chiefs in
southern Africa of whom in the near
future the world may hear good
deal-Lerothodi, the, paramount chief
Of the Basutos; Bunu, "king'' of the
swazis, who is only just beginning to
feel his feet" as the saying is, and
Dinizulu, the keen, clevera intelligent
and lately repatriated chief of the
Zulus, says the London Mail.
For long time Bunu's position was
akin to that of the emperor Of China
he was overweighted and overshad-
owed by the queen mother, very de-
termined lady, indeed, and quite a
character in her why. Bunu's position
has always been little curious, and
to this day there is a good deal of in
decision about his movements and
character. He still lets II dare not"
wait upon Il would He does not
love the Boer. Bunu, with all his
faults, is no coward, and perhaps the
time is not far distant when he will
prove himself-as he has not done up
to NOTEWORTHY to be the head of a
race whose valor is undoubted.
Dinizulu, chief of the Zulus, may be
said to be on his trial. He has only
been back a short time among his peo-
pie, from whose society he in 1883 was
banlshed to St. Helena for rebelling
against British authority. This was
some four years after he had succeed
ed Cetewayo. Cu1iously enough, DIM
zulu's capture was effected by party
of Beers headed by Luka Meyer, who
is now in command of a large Boer
force against the British.
