From my intercourse with the Mata
bles I know the Zulu .style of fighting.
Ever since the dreadful tidings have
had constantly before me the vision OF
that inturiated mass of Zulus, like
thousands of savage gorillas, rushing on
those devoted men of the Twenty ty.fourth.
The Zulus prefer and strive to throw
themselves in overwhelming numbers on
the weakest point Of the enemy. With
dauntless courage and the fury of 'igers
they rush on, without the least concern
for the hundreds falling in their rank or
the brides barring their way they press
on to get to close quarters as speedily as
possible, neither looking to the right nor
lett, nor dreaming of hiding for mo-
ment behind stones or bushes. They
charge forward, for this reason preferring
the open field. Naturally courageous
and vain of their proves, they firmly
believe that they need only follow
the aforementioned tao les and they
must win the day. These men are.ruled
by savage despot. They are trained
as soldiers all their lives in regiments
properly oficered, all, in fact, in correct
military style, as near as they can fol-
low it. When ranged in order of battle
each man holds gun in his right hand,

arm and in his left hand he holds long

Mark Thompson, a California expert
has this to say in an official report of the
Black Hills Mines,


"There are three districts mineral belts,
or systems of gold bearing quartz veins
traversing the Black Hills in northern
ly and southernly dissection, for distance
of about sixty miles, and although the ore
found in these different belts have the
same characteristics, they are separated by
regularquartited dykes running paralll with
them. IJudglDg from the present de
developments which are but surface work
ings, even in the Oldest and best mines
here, the Black Hills is mining region
peculiar to itself, and there would seesn to
be much trath in the maxim which has
obtained such marked popularity.
Where you find a mine in the Black
Hills you have it, But if science and
practical skill affords any grounds on
which to base an opinion, future develop
ments will establish the fact that the pc
cularities talked about as attaching to the
Black Hills, are but surface deep. As
true, perfect fissure veins are found here
as IN any mining country yet discovered,
and with Developments, the same rules
which have been successfully applied to
the best, most productive mines in the
world for the past twenty-five years will
prove equally etficatieus here. In point
of fact, the chief distinctive feature Of the
Black Hills mines is found in the free
milling character of their quartz

heavy shower between Mary vile and

after refreshing ourselves. looked
around for some way of passing a few
hours pleasantly. A game of ten pins
WAS proposed, as several ofthe gentle

to return to the city on Monday, and
by means of candles placed along the

Our genial friend, Judge Rogers, is

WE reproduce from the Morning
Journal handsome tribute which
a Republican lawyer pays to Hon.
B. d. Woolf, the present Clerk of
the Supreme Court and the Demo-
cratic nominee for reelection to
that position. The fact is that Mr..
Woolf has been one of the very best
executive officials the State of CAL
| ifornia has ever had. The bench
and bar all over the State, ire
spective of party, bear testimony
to his efficiency, courtesy
and conscientious attention to
the duties of his position.
When the effort was made to es-
ia blish branch of the Supreme
Court of the State in Los Angeles
Mr.. Woolf was an indefatigable
worker in the interest of this sec
ton. He was the enthusiastic
friend of our city from the moment
he first set foot in its bounds. His
services as Clerk have been of u
specially valuable kind. To his
energy the bar have been indebted
for an analytical index Of all the
cases decided by the Supreme
Court since 1852. AS the new Su-
preme Court will be composed of
men who have had absolutely no
experience in that body, it is of
great moment that it shall have a
Clerk who is thoroughly familiar
with all the duties Of the position
and with the routine of Supreme
Court procedure. Mr.. Woolf pre-.
sents one of those instances in
which it is occasionally better to
relax the severity of party discip-
line. He ought to be voted for by
men of all parties on the ground of
exceptional personal fitness con-
firmed by years of experience. The
bench and bar of California are so
unanimous in their favorable ap-
probation of Mr.. Woolf that there
ought to be no difficulty in his re-
election. All Angeleiios, at least.
ought to vote for him.

PROBABLY the next six months
will go into our political history as
the nastiest and bitterest which
even our envenomed partizan
squabbles have evoked. The at.
tempted murder of Kalloch by De
Young was a fitting elimination Of
the Infamous chapter. We have
had scenes of violence in our poli-
tics before, and excitement has run
high. But the parties to them were
generally gentlemen; and, while
the provocation to hatred and blood
was often bitter in the extreme, the
language employed never partook
of the character of the stews. 1t is
appalling to think that, within the
span of a twelvemonth, when the
sun shall 60 down on the 81 of
September, we shall have had
three exciting and bitter elections.
No sooner shall we have fairly set
tied down after the present heated
and Infamous campaign than Con-
gress will assemble and the first
echoes OF a superheated Presiden-
tial campaign will be heard from
the other side of the "Rockies' and
the Sierras. Alas! poor people.

moro the price of liberty than is
eternal commotion the salient char
acteristic Of a Republic!
