Ffrrtx*' Rid#- H'-. Fort** of the ll was tho last wan to urge an objec tion. ami mhm thai had no avail, ho gave mo a telegram fx his wife. Tho night was ju* falling as 1 rode up tho stoop rugged track from tho laager into the bush. I was riding a dark chestnut hvtrso whoso pluck and Maying power 1 know wall, and I ntoant to tent both. My groat efft*l was to tra verse as much ground as possible before it g.x vjaite dark. for I did not like the inter val of pitchy darkness before the ntoon shcnld rtsp about eight o'clock. St I sent tho ohostmit along at best pace. It was a gruesome Tide, ami 1 wMild sooner In- shot at for two hours at a stretch than to do it again. There was no road, only a confu sion of wagon tracks, through the long grass, made by our vehicles in their ad vance. Everywhere the bush, in detached chimps wane tea feet high, clustered thick around ami among these tracks. 1 daren't smoke fvr fear the striking of a watch might brtTay me. All that then' was for me mas fro trust to luck, sec that the tlap of my revolver case was open, ami keep the good head straight. On we went, down into the black gullies, where half a regimes* might have lain hidden, through the Mule patches of tall thorn brake, whose prickles lore my clothes ami latvrated wy skim, stumbling over fallen trunks, wading through long rank grass, always with ears cocked ami every sense on its fullest ten sion. Several fires were visible, through the bush foliage to right and left, doubtless the night tires of straggling bodies of Zulus. Behind me seethed the Gehenna of the brazing Vlun.ii ami the other kraals fired that day. Their lund blare helped me on after darkness fell, which they served to wit Urate. But at length I canto to a dead halt near the region where the two columns camped on their march, between tho ridge of Kutodgoneni ami the White Vmfalooei. TYic multiplicity of tracks confused me. I had fairly lost my way; 1 could dimly we close to we the charred relics of the great Slipane Kraal, and 1 knew I must lie mar * bog, into which, if I strayed, my horse at least would never emerge. There was no recourse but to halt a here I was, and wait with what patience 1 might, for the moon to rise. I dare say site kept her time, but 1 must say 1 thought her shockingly slow. At length the great disc showed above the ridge, and illuminated the lasin below. Af ter a few casts I hit off the spoor, and in ten minutes more was climbing the open grassy slope that leads up to the standing camp on the Entongeneni. Here the chestnut was done, and right well he had done; but Major Vpchor. of the 24th, who was in command, first ordered his men a lot of rum each in honor of the good news I had hrought, and then furnished me with a fresh horse, and a party to guide me on the devious way. Steadily 1 rode on all through the "bitter night under the moon light without adventure, save an occasional missing ami recovery of the road. 1 had an escort for two stages, and then went on aloue. 1 passed within a few miles of the -pot where some days later the bodies, pierosd with assegai wounds, of poor young Scott Douglass and Corporal Cotter of the Lancers were found. About four in the morning the blinding fog came down, and then it was a case of groping for the track. On the hill above Fort Marshall the fog was so dense that I had to dismount and feel in the grass for the wagon-ruts leading down the steep slope to the fort. Once there, dear old Colonel Collingwood ave me some tea in the gray of the morning, and set roe up wi ha fresh horse. To make a long story short, I rode into land man's Drift between two and three in the afternoon of the sth, having ridden about one hundred and ten miles, using sis horses. It was not much of a ride for speed—one hundred and ten miles in twenty hours; but look at the delays in losing and finding the road, in getting fresh horses Ac. i know that 1 never halted in any one place more than half an hour, and that I made good speed is evident from the following fata; After 1 hail left Lord Chelmsford changed his mind, and started off Guy Dawnay an hour later, under escort with his formal despatch. 1 am nearly three stooe heavier than Dawnay, and weight tells fearfully on these colony ponies. Yet Dawnay did not reach Landman's Drift till If* p. m. on the sth inst. Leaving the Un faloasi one hour behind me, he did not reach Landman's until seven hours behind roe. My riding, it appeared, was not let over. i>n the morning of the 6th it occur red to General Marshall, in command at Landman s Drift—Marshall is about the clearest-headed erf our chiefs—that some time might elapse before direct communi cation could be opened up between Wolsc ky and Chelmsford, and that what I would be able to tell him regarding details might he of service to the former if I were to hur ry through with all possible speed to Port Durnfotd. I wasn't in the best case for another long ride, it was true. In the fight I had a thwack on the leg with a spent bullet. It had not broken the skin, twit made a contusion, and the long ride had set up not a little infiamation. But it was not bad enough to let it beat a fellow, and off I art for landman's Drift about one in the afternoon erf the 6th, bent on reach ing Pietermaritzburg, a distance of one hundred and seventy miles before stopping, which I did Skslll of Murderers. One of the most cunous collections in the great Anthropological Museum in the Pari* exhibition of last year was a collec tion erf thirty-six skulls of murderers who have been guillotined in France. This col lection has been carefully studied by Dr. Bournier, who has published the result of his studies in the last number of Brora's Revue d'Anthiopologie. The most strik ing result of his observations is the very large cubic capacity of these crania. In fact, the average volume of the thirty-six skulk, measured with shot by Broca's method, is as much as 1,547,91 cubic cen timeters. Eliminating, however, one of the skulls, which is of unusual size (2,f7C cubic centimeters i and is obviously abnor mal, the average is reduced to 1,531 cubic centimeters. But even this figure is con siderably higher than the average of any ordinary series of modem crania. In order to find skulls of equal capacity it is neces sary to go bade to prehistoric times; thus the capacity of Solutre skulls is 1,515, and that of the type from the cave of L'Homme Mart is l,sofi.scubic oentimeters. The de velopment of the murderer's skull is not in the frontal but in the parieto-occipital region, and it appears to indicate a low in tellectual standard, with a strong tendency to powerful action. Most of the cerebral characteristics presented by the skulls sf these criminals are comparable with those of prehistoric races. A murderer may be regarded as an anachronism, and his charac ter may be explained on the principal of atavism, or reversion to an early type. If a prehistoric savage could be introduced into modern society he would probably become a notorious criminal; on the other hand, if vat of the brutal murderers of modern times had lived in prehistoric ages he might have been a chief of his tribe, highly respected.

SYRUP FROM SWKKT CORN.—The com mon sweet-corn contains so large an amouut of sweet saccharine matter that It has often been suggested as a practicable sugar plant, Ido not know that Its syrup Is granulated ; but a gen tleman with whom 1 conversed a few weeks ago. assured me that he hail suc ceeded lu making syrun in such an amount, that lie Is satisfied that ho could make 150 gallons per acre. This was from corn growing for selling In its green state, and a very profitable crop of oars was sold to the factories for canning. The next year tho factories reduced the price paid for green corn so low, that my friend concluded not to grow any, and his project for combin ing the growing of the green corn and the making of syrup had to be given up. But wherever there Is u market for green corn in the ear, he believes that such an Interprlso rightly managed, must prove successful. If a cheap sy rup can be thus made, even if not of tho highest quality, it will prove very val uable for many purposes. Farm stock of all kinds are fond of sweets, and su gar or syrups form an important part of most condiments. All sweets are very fattening,and we may, in the near future, be dosing domestic animals with syrups toliuluce themtoeatraoreand fat ten faster. It will be interesting to note whether, under this new diet, horses, sheep, cows and pigs will have dyspep sia and sutler, as their betters do, from the effects of too high living. A year or two ago, a correspondent related au experience wherein he had for a time entirely suspended tho virility of a bull by teedlng him molasses and hay, which he ate greedily, and which fat tened him very rapidly. FKKD YOU NO ANIMALS WELL.—The man who wears out a calf's teeth in the effort to make it shrink for itself never raised a prime steer nor a good cow. Every dollar supposed to be thus saved in the young animal must be replaced later by the expenditure of two. The man who feeds best while the animal Is young makes the most money. This is generally recognized as true by our best fanners, and hence the improve ment in stock and consequent cheapen ing in the raising of animals within the last ten years. The same rule will apply to all farm stock. If stinted while young they never pay the breed er and feeder a living profit. Hence the reason why those who do not keep pace with the times are always com plaining that thero is no money instock. The big prices paid by the best stock feeders are for animals that have had their digestive organs kept intact by early and properly nutritious food. The value of a food animal lies in Its aptitude to lay on flesh, and those who keep steadily growing from birth will continue this growth and increase in profitable weight. To do this in the most economical manner the digestive organs must be originally strong and unimpaired by abuse. BALKY HORSES.—A society for the prevention of cruelty to animals recom mends the following rules for the treat ment of balky horses; Fat the horse upon the neck, examine the harness carefully, first on one side aud then on the other, speaking encouragingly while doing so; then jump into the wa gon and give the word go. Generally he will obey, A teamster in Maine says he can start tho worst balky horse by taking him out of the shafts and making him go round in a circle. If the first dance of this kind doesn't cure him, the second one will be sure to do it. To enre a balky horse, simply place your hand over the horse's nose and shut off the wind till he wants to go. The brains of horses seem to entertain but one idea at a time; thus, continued whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve. If you can by any means give him a new subject to think of. you will have no trouble in starting him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around the fore leg, just below the knee, and tie in a bow knot. At the first check he will go dancing off, and. af er going a short distance, you can get out and remove the string to prevent injury to the ten don in your further drive. * As a general thing it is cheaper and more convenient to get seeds of the re gular seedsmen than to save them. But if any are saved, let them always be of the earliest, fairest and best specimens. IT is stated that Indian corn charred into charcoi.l will make a valuable con diment for poultry. It will put the hens in good health, and cause a gener al toning up of the system that will be seen in more and better eggs. THE manure of cows and pigs resists decomposition for a longer period than that of the sheep and horse, both the latter being drier than tho former, and decomposing more readily in the soil. WOOD aslies make an excellent fertil izer for pear trees. Mixed toil and wood ashes may also be applied with advantage. Ground bones are better for fruit trees of all kinds than ferment ing manure. LIME FOR CHICKENS.— When your hens have the run in summer they will lime; but it is just as well to have It near the hen house. Camel Breeding In Texas. A Texas camel breeder, speaking of the rearing of the ''ship of the desert," says they are no more trouble to raise than horses or cattle. The colts for the first three or four days are rather tender, and require close attention, but after that they take their chances with the herd. They feed on cactus and brushes chewing all grasses that cattle and horses eat if the favorite cactus can be had. The females, with proper care, give a colt every year, and the price at which they are sold, the ease with which they are raised, their extreme doci lity, and the adaptability of our climate to their nature, would seem to indicate that camel raising is a profitable business in Texas. Mr. Lantear says there is one camel in the herd that has traveled 150 miles between sun and sun, and that almost any well-broken camel is good for more than 100 miles in a day. Subduing and Avoiding Fever and Ague. Of all chronio diseases, fever and ague n perhaps the least conquerable by the ordinary resources of medicine. There is. however, a remedy which completely roots* it out of the system in any and all of its various pb ases. This celebrated anti-periodic is vegetable in composition, and is not only efficacious, but perf ctly safe, a tbing that cannot be predica ted with truth of quinine. Hoatetter's Stom ach Bitters is, besides, a most efficient means of defense against malaria, as it endows the physique with an amount of stamina which enables it to encounter miasmatic influences without prejudice to health. Persons about to visit, or living in foreign oountries, or por tions of our own where intermittent or remit tent fevers prevail, should not omit to lay in a sufficient supply of the great Preventive, both to avert such diseases and disorders of the stomach, bowels and liver common to such localities. DOMESTIC. FLOWERS AH A DISINFECTANT. —Vlck'a "Illustrated Floral Magazine" givis the results of some experiments of an amateur chemist who has been investi gating tlie effects of vegetable perfumes on the atmosphero. lie llnds that they exercise a positively beneficial Influ ence, by converting tho oxygen of the air Into that powerfully oxydlzing, ami, therefore, purltylngagent,ozone. Tho essences found by hi in to produce the most ozone are precisely those which usage has selected as tho most invig orating, sueli as cherry, laurel, cloves, lavender, mint, juniper, lemon, fennel and hergamot, several of which are In gredients in the refreshing etui de Cologne. Anise, nutmeg, thyme, nar cissus and hyacinth flowers, migno nette, heliotrope and lily of tin 1 valley also develop ozone; in fact all flowers possessing a perfume appear to do so, whereas those having none do not. This interesting intelligence will be gratifying to all, especially to lovers of flowers, and the cultivation of those lovely disinfectants of nature should be promoted in all marshy or foul places. WASHING FLANNELS.— A lady corres pondent writes as follows : I will give you a little of my experience in wash ing flannels. 1 was taught to wash them in hot water, but ft Is a great mis take. In Italy my flannels were a won der to me; they always came home from the wash so soft and white. I learned that the lialian women washed them In cold water. Many a time J have watched them kneeling In a box which hail one end taken out to keep them out of the mud, by the bank ot' a stream, washing in the running water, and drying on thejbank or gravel, with out boiling; and I never had washing done better, and flannels never half so well. I tried it since, and find the secret of nice soft flannels to be the washing of them in cold or lukewarm water and plenty of stretching before hnnging out.

AMONG a party who were visiting the beautiful country estate of a Boston business man, recently, was a gentle man considerably interested In orni thology. As they passed through the grounds he accosted a laborer, and asked, "Has Mr. B any macaws on the place now?" Rusting from his la bor, the son of Erin replied, "MeCaws, is It? Begerra, I don't remember any of that name, but there Is the two Me- Gitinesses at woork forninst the barn." THE Rev. A. A. Wlllits, I). D., of Philadelphia, is as good a shot as he is a preacher. A Quaker who met him as he returned from the field, with Ids game bag well tilled, said to him in an admonitory tone: "Friend Willits, it seems to me that a bird has a right to live until its time has come to die." The Doctor replied; "Friend,you and 1 agree perfectly, for I find that gen erally when 1 get my gun trained oil a bird his time to die has come." IIK was a venerable and agricultural looking man, attired in the lastest New Jersey fashion, and he stood on a street corner near Washington market. Hold ing his left hand, and gazing reflective ly upon three pieces of string tied round an equal number of Angers, he solilo quized : "That's to remind me—get a spool of cotton; t'other means, don't forget the calico. But, what in thun der's this one for ? Ah, by guui! that's don't get drunk again," WORTHLESS STI FF!— Not so last my friend; if you could see the strong, healthy, blooming men, women ami children that have l>een raised from beds of sickness, suffering and almost death, by the use of Hop Bitters, you would say "Glorious and invaluable remedy."

Indian Depredation. The fair reader shudders when sho thinks of the eettler's wife watching, from the door of her rude hut, the re treating form of her husband going out to his daily labor—going out perhaps to return not again, for before nightfall a savage hand may have laid him low among the prairie grasses. Or it may be a child, a bright-eyed daughter, is snatched away in an unguarded mo ment, to grace the next war dance. When we read the heartrending details of these savage depredations, we are apt to blame tlie government for not taking more strict precautions to insure the settler's protection. But we daily read of tho depredations of that arch fiend, consumption, with scarcely a thought of the terrible inioads it is making in human life. Tens of thous ands of homes are annually desolated by consumption to one by Indian out rage. Like the Indian, consumption oftenest comes stealthily, and no dan ger is apprehended until the victim suddenly finds himself hopelessly en snared, and death's fatal arrow ends the scene.
