BRAVE SOLDIERS.

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attemp.
to Save the coIors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives Of South Africa, and 1t was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1878 $4,000 Of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment Of British SOL
diers, and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British sol.
dfers to save the two flags, or colors,
belonging to the regiment.
When it was seen that the Zulus
were so many that there was no hope
of keeping them at bay the colonel of
the British regiment called to a young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said, "You will take
charge Of the colors, Melvill, and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment. Then, with another officer and
a soldier, all mounted on horses, he
suddenly dashed away with his pre-
cious burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus, however, and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afterward one Of the flags
was found near a rocky stream, where
the heroes had fought and died, and
it was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending
it the queen placed a wreath Of i'm
mortelles on the staff which held the
f1ag.-LOndon Mai.

East African hons show a marked
animosity to mounted men, arising
probably from the advantage given, by

mounted men when unmolested and
when the circumstances would war

waiting to see him. On being admit

he vas about to make, prayed the
