Whether Jama was tho son oi Uma-
keba or of Umbuzi, who woro bona of
L punga, is not (imto certain, but tho
wnight of ovidenco favors tho belief
that ho ucseonded trom I makoba.
Iloyond Vpunga tho royal lineogo ol
Zululand cannot bo traced. Juma's
son Usenzangacona-wns tbo chief of
a petty sea coast tribo, near the Um
volosi river, and lortl of soino thirty
wive,' wbo boro him noarly two hun
dred children. One ol l.to i wm
Umnandi who, because ol his jealousy,
had to fly to a neighboring tnbo, bear
ing with her ber son Chaka. Tbo
chief with whom they found refugo
caused tho youth to bo educated in all
tho accomplishments befitting an Afri
can princo and warrior. Whilo still in
his toons, (Jhaka happened to meet at
St. Lucia Boy some shipwrecked tn
glish sailors, who told him a great
deal about the exploit and warlike
famoof "Hones. ibe uoy listoned
attentively, and made up his mind to
bocomo tbo "Honey olAtrica. strange
irony of tbo fato that tho first Wnpo
Icon should inspire in the mind ol a
Kaffir chief colossal schemos of war
liko ontorpriso, and that tho fourth
Napoleon, the son of tho Emperor's
nephew, should fall in battlo with tho
nephew ol his African admirer.
When, in 1812, old Uecniangacona
died, Usingojana succeeded hiai aa tbe
son of tho "great wilo," tho spouso to
whoso descendants a .ulu King, in ad
vanced years, guarantees tho succes
sion. Chaka, however, claimed the
throne, and speedily ousted his half
brother. Many ol the Cmtetwa, tho
tribo among whom Chaka had boon
brought op, followod him into the Zulu
nation, and specially ho recognized his
army and began a career of conquost.
lie divided tbe warriors into rcgimonts,
with subdivisions of battalions and
companies and different uniforma, and
revolutionized their arms and stylo of
fighting. Tbo Zulus, liko othor Kaffir
tribes, had previously fought with a
sheaf of assegais. Chaka pitted two
regiments aguinsl each other, ono arm
ed with the weapons blunted, of
course and the other having shields
and a short stabbing assegai, thus un
consciously imitating the Komaneqtiip
mont. They skirmished for a while,
and then Chaka look stock ol tho con
tusions and inxtuntly ordorod tbo
wholo army to adopt the now weapon.
Fighting upon tba open plains, his bat
talions advanced in massive columns,
protected by tlioir hugo shields, rccoiv
od the darts hurled by tho enemy with
but trifling loss, and getting to closo
quarters the instant the foemen's jave
lins were expended routed them with
tremendous slaughter. It was as
great a revolution in African warfare
aa that brought about in Buropo by
tho introduction ot gnnpowdcr or tbe
needle nun. Tribo alter tribo be over
came, not to extirpate but to incorpor
ate with his own pooplo copying
Uouuparto again tho process ol dis
tribution and amalgamation being very
skillfully carried out. With nearly
sixty tribes bo thus doalt during bis
reign. He bad an Old (juard of 12,
000 or 15,000 warriors always prepar
ed to march at a tnomont s notioo, ga
in? filtv miles without aball and often
travelinz ior thrco hours at the rato of
eight miles an hour and "oat on what
ever enemy presented himself, distrib
uted provisions ana men in lortinea
kraals all over tho country, and con
quered and slaughtered and resigned
till when, in iHza, ii r. Isaacs, a mis
sionary visited bim and told him of
tho extent oi me jrnio uominiunr
and bow King tioorgo had overthrown
llonaparte, ho could atlord to say com-
nlaconlly: "Thoro are only two great
chiefs in all the earth my brotbor,
King (ioorgo, is king of all the whiles;
I, Chaka, am king of all the blacks."
As the Kronen Republicans bad done,
so did Cbaka. An unsuccessful sol
dier's fato was death. Till the men of
a regiment had distinguished them
selves in the Bold Ibey wore not allow
ed lo marry, and if they (ailed in an
ontorpriso their families as woll as them
solves sufTercd. Mr. Isaacs saw 170
children slain, being beaten to dealh
or having thoir nocks twistod, and Utn
bulale ("the 1'lace ol Blaugblor") took
its name from tho massacre thore of a
defeated corps and the wives and chil
dren or its members.
In 1828 Chaka marched southwest
against the Amapondos, routed tbem,
ravaged the country to lbs borders ol
Hrilish Protectorate nd marched
borne with an immense spoil. Ibe
British and colonial troops with native

allies, started after him, but encoun
torod tho Amadirwana tribo wilb 20.
000 cattle, flying from tho Zulus, and,
mistaking thorn for Chaku's men, kill
ed some hundreds of tbom and drovo
off all thoir bords. Meanwhile, C'huka
uaa roached Umvotl, bis capital, and
sent his brothors Dingaan, Umhlan
gano with an army lo tho North
ugainHt L'soshengaiio, on tho shores ol
Delagoa Buy. Tbo country was pes
tilential, and two-thirds of thoir army
perished from exposure, disoaso and
hungor. Enraged at thoir ill success
Chaka ordorod tho murder of 2,000
women, wives of tho defeated soldiora.
Among tho victims slaughtered at tho
ruto ot 200 or 300 a day, woro tho
spou8ea of his brothors, who botwoen
resontmcnt and fear woro moved to
eonspiro against bis lifo. His body
sorvunt, Uiubopa, joined in the plot,
and having unsuspected accoss to Dha
ka's prcsonco struck him dead Sep
tomber 23,1828. Thusdiod atthoagoof
forty-one the Zulu Aloxandor or Napo
leon. Dingaan and Unhlangano dis
puting tho succession fought a duel in
tho royal kraal immediately altor
Chaka's burial, when tha latter was
slain.
Dingaan was not a wurliko despot
but a maehiavelinn tyrant. Thousands
of his subjects flod to Natal, but after
18.35 ho negotiated a treaty with En
gland in virtue of which tho desortors
wore roturood to him to bo brained
or impaled. In 18:18 Pietcr IJelief, a
lloor, was eont to ask a grant ol Natal
for tho Dutch immigrants, with a mis
sionary, the liov. K. Owen. At Urn
gungundlhovn ("tho place of tho
trurpctir. cf the c!?phr,.?t") h found
Dingaan in a neatly built palace 20
feet in diamotor, supported by 22 pil
lars covered with beads, in tho buildin"
standing in the centro of a kraal of 1,
700 huts, caclj largo enough for twon
ty men. Six thousand soldiers wero
paraded in a mock tight and a subso-
quont war-dunce around thousands of
beautiful cattle representing tho spoils
ol tho combat ; all that tho Boers ask
ed was granted them. On tho (1th of
rcbruary, 18.18, they brcokfustod with
Mr. Owen and snoko of Dinuaan's
courtesy and good fuilh ; tbon went
unarmed, Bnmo sovonty mon In all,
to sit around tho King and sco tho
furowoll dance. Closer and closer
whirled tho dancers round the circle,
till tbo Kin;t roso and cried ancrilv.
Soir.o tbo accursed wizards I" when
in an instant tho Dutchmen wero seiz
ed and dragged away. "Toll Owen,"
said tbo King to a messenger, "that 1
am going to kill tho Boers, but ho need
not bo Ingbtoncd. llo kept his word,
for though l'iotcr Relief and his com
panions were brained and speared be
foro tho missionary's eyes, Mr. Owen
and his family Buffered to depart in
safety. Tho Zulus swarmed over tho
country and literally exterminated
tbo Boors. At a station on tho Bush
man's liivor that still bears tho name
of Wconon "Weeping" they found
an tho agou ana tuobio, women and
nhilrlmn. whnm with linir lpwlnr, ( lat
Maritz, they slow 3Uti in all, besides
250 colored servants. Tbo names of
1'ieter Keliot and Gort Maritz aro
jointly commemorated in that of tha
town of 1'ioiormaritzburg. 1 bo Doers
beyond tho Tugcla, howovor, rallied
and helped by tho English fought
through 18:i8 and 18.10, when they
succeeded in corrupting Dingaan's
brother Panda. Wilb 4,000 soldiers
Panda rovoltcd early in 1810. Din
gaan s lorco thus weakened was ao
stroyod, and on the 10th of February
Panda dethroned and Blow him, and
ascended the tbrono.
Panda reigned till 1872. Ho had
agreed over to continuo tho loyal and
devoted ally of bis whilo neighbors,
and according to Sir Thoophilus Shep
stone, his roign was "incomparably
milder and moro merciful than that
of his predocossor. llo consolidated
the government and administration ol
the country into a regular fabric, hav
ing rulers in overy small district who
led tho people in war and administer
ed justice in poaco, owing feudal sub
ordination to an Incnna, or provincial
chicl, wbo belonged to tho King's
Great Council. The laws affecting
marriago and military scrvico were
sovoroly administered, and the people
suffered not a little from "witch find
ing," tho wizard, wbo was promptly
killed aftor forfeiting his proporty to
thoCrown.being invariably a well-to-do
subject or a man obnoxious lolho King
On tho wholc.howovcr.tho regin of King
Panda was quiet and prosperous, anil
when ho died, October 18, 1872, he left
tho reputation of a good neighbor both
among tho Dutch and tho English.
II is son Cotowaye pronounced
Kotchwhyo succeeded him, boing du
ly installed hy Sir then plain Mr.
Thcnpholis Shcpstono. Chaka and
Dingaan do not socm to Have leu any
sons at all. One report makes out that
tliev killed their mulo children and
pregnant wives "to keep down dun
geronsqucHtionsoonnoctcd with thosuo
eession j" another and moro probable
version is that Dingaan killed oft all
Chuka'B heirs and Panda all Dingaan's.
Panda had several grown up sons in
1856, tho two most prominent of whom
woro Cotowavo and Umbulaze, the
former a warlike young man, tho lat
ter a mild and peaceful princo, his
ffithor'a favorite. Kuuh was allowed
to form a separate establishment and
collect rotainors to service "under tbe
ticor's head" and naturally parties
wero soon formed and civil war broke
out. In a great battlo on the Tugela,
Cotowayo defeated and slew hie brotb
or and 3,000 wariiors, and early in
Novomhor, 1857, was recognized by
tho I neon as at a great council as heir
apparent, it being understood that
through tho Prime Minister Masipula
be should exercise mo rogoncy tin nts
lathor's death. As Panda was in his
old ago bo fut that ho could not walk,
and had to be liflod into and out of bis
wagon by six men, tho active duties ol
kingship bad dovolvod upon Cotowayo
long before 1874, when at Panda's
death Mr. Shcpstonocrowned him form
ally. The ceremony took place at

According to a writor in in tho Ro
chester Democrat and Chronicle, theio
is trouble in tbe giant planot Jupiter,
which is sinning so brilliantly theso
cool nights. A great spot estimated
to bo 18,000 miles in diameter, is con
spicuous on the planet's disc. It has
been visible lor two yoars, says AI.
irouvelot, ol -tambritlgo, Mass., al
though its appearance bos not been
generally known until recently. It is
probablo that on Iho first discovory of
Ibo spot tho color was not strongly
pronounced, or it would havo been
moro generally observed. Dr. Swilt,
of Rochester, saw tho spot for tho first
umo oniy a lew weens ago. Iho onlv
explanation, thus lar given, is tliut
thero is a ront is the cloud covering of
Jupiter, revealing Iho red hot body ol
tho planet. Ibis explanation hardly
explains, although it is now goneraliy
conceded that Jupiter ia a glowing
mass, and abinca partly by his own
light. Many romarkable changes have
recently tukon place in tho appear
ance of Jupiter. Thoso wbo search
for the red spot cannot fail to notice
tho white, cloud liko spots botween
tho groat eopper-colored equatorial
belts, x he great central belt seems to
be broken up into white cloud masses
lying at intervals along the Jovian
equator. Tho copper color ot the outor
bells oxtonds in some places across tbe
equatorial regions, usually occupied by
a bright bolt of creamy while. North
and South of tho great equatorial belts
and about half way to the poles aro
narrow, irregular salmon colored bolts
that present a very beautiful appear
ance, ibe blue coloring about the
poles seems less pronounced than
usual. It is moro than probable that
in the mighty changes going on in Ju
piter, adds the Chronicle, we are wit
nessing the phenomena of world
growth, and that tho giant planet is
slowly undorgoing, under our vory
eyes, iho moditicalionB necessary to fit
it lor habitation.
Queen Beks and now Tiieiii Va
cancies are Supplied. In a paper
read to tho (Juekott M ieroscopical Club,
r. Hunter stales that a lerlilo queen
hco will in four yenis lay a million
eggs. 1 wenty one days aro required
lor the production ol a worker bee ;
"but the samo egg that produced tho
worker in twenty ono days could, had
the boos been so minded, bavo boon
bred up in a queen in six days." "The
bees, continues lr. Hunter, "only
rear queons when necessity calls for
them, cither from tho loss of thoir old
monarch or apprehended swarming.
II 1 remove tho queen H'om a hivo, the
first of these contingencies occurs, and
aftor a low hours' commotion, tho bees
select cortain of Iho workei eggs, or
oven young larva? two or three duys
old. The cell is enlarged to five or
six limes its ordinary capacity, a su
perabundance of totally different lood
is supplied, and thu result is mat, in
five days less than would have been
required lor a worker, a queen is
hatched. The marvel is Inexplicable;.
How a moro cbango and greater abund-
anco of food snd a more roomy lodg
ing should so transform the internal
and oxternal organs of any living crea-
turol The coso is without a parallcd
in all tho animal creation. It is not a
mere superficial chango that has been
effected, but one that ponolratca far
below form and structure, to tho very
fountain oflilo itself It is a translor
malion alike of function, or structure,
and of Instinct."
Reports from apiarians of various
parts ot the country appoar lo be in
favor of wlntoring bees in cellars, in
stead of tho old method of leaving
thorn upon the stands where they aro
bent during the Summer. 'I be Decs,
when protected from sevors cold, eat
less and corns ont much stronger in
the Spring. But it is quite important
that the cellar in which tho bees are
stored should be perfectly dry and well
ventilated, for unless these conditions
are secured the combs become moldy
and the bees perisb.

Everybody must bavo something to

the topics ot conversation will relate
to subjects of knowledge. It a man is
interested in science ho will talk about

he will talk about art. If ho is famil

luat ol which tho mind is lull, that

the very simple reason why the

who indulgo in it have nothing else in
them. They must interest thomsolvcs

TOO MUCH SLEEP.
Tho effects ot too much sleep, says
tho Golden Rule, are not less signal
Iban those arising from privation. The
whole nervous system becomes blunt
ed, so that tho muscular onorgy ia en
feebled, and tho sensations, tbe moral
and intellectual manifestations are ob
tunded. All the bad effects of inaction

oxorted wilh less enorgy ; the diges
tion ia torpid, tho exertions are dimin
ished, whilst, in some instances, the
socrolions of fat accumulate to an in
ordinate extent. The memory is im
paired, tha powers of imagination are
dormant, and the mind tails into a kind
of habitude, chiefly bocaiiso the func
tions of tbo intellect are not sufficiently
exerted, when sleep is loo prolonged
or loo often repeated. To sleep much
is not necessary to be a good sleeper.
Gonorally thoy aro the poorest Bloepors
who remain longest in bed ; that ia
thoy awaken lesa refreshed than if the
time of arising woro earlier by an hour
or two. While it is true that children
and young poople require more sloop
than their elders, yot it should be tbo
caro of parents that over indulgence
bo not permitted. Whero the habit is
for children to lie in bed until eight or
nine in the morning, tho last two
hours, at least, do not bring sound
dreamless sleep, whero tho hour for
retiring is eight or nine P. M., but are
spent in "dozing," and in fact, such
excess cannot tail to insure harmful
results described by the authority
quoted. What is called "laziness"
among children is, in very many cases,
disease, and is largely duo to this, as

Balky Horses. A Society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals rec
ommends the following rules lor the
treatment ol balky horses :
1. Pat tbo horse upon tbe neck, ex
amine tbo harness carolully first on
one side then on Iho other, speaking
encouragingly whilo doing so; tbon
jump into tbo wagon and give the
word go; generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine savs he can
start tho worst balky horse by taking
him out ot tbe shafts and making bim
go round in a circle If tho first dance
ot this kind doesn't cure him, the sec
ond ono will be sure to do iu
3. To euro a balky horse, simply
pluco your hand over the horso's nose
and shut on mo wind tin no wants to
go, then lot him go.
4. Tbe brains of horses seem lo on
tertnin but ono idea at a time ; thus
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn rosolvo, u you can ty any
means give him a new subject to think
of, vou will have no troublo in start
ing him. A simple remedy is to take
a couple ol turns ol stout twine around
the lore leg, juat below the kneo, and
tie in a bow-knot. At the firat chock
he will go dancing off, and, after going
a short distance, yon can got out and
remove tho string to provont injury to
tho tendon in your lurtuer drive.
In locating an apiary thoro are sev
eral points that should be considered,
Perhaps water comes first, because it
is something we cannot got along with
out. Thoro is a great quantity used by
the bees on a hot day to keep the
combs from melting down, besides
what is used in looding brood in the
latter narto! tbe season. When the
wind blows from the east, hot and dry,
boos havo boon known to use a pound
a day to the bive, allowing a sufficient
quantity lor evaporation. A Deo s mo
is irovornod, wo might say, by the work
it docs, and if it has to fly a long way
for water, it cannot for bis lile bring
tbe honoy to his owner that it could if
the water was handy. Wet sand Is the

reacbod a point some two hundred feet

whicn rose about hlty loot abovo, and
was perpendicular and wholly imprac

by Hamilton, tho Secretary ol tho
London Geological Society, in 1837,
and by Tchihaehoff, the Russian Sa
vant, in 1848. Tho view was very ex
tensive, including tbe long lino ol
Anti-Taurus to tbe cast, the mountains
that run down toward Lycaonia to
the southwest, and to tho north tho
vast undulating plains, or rather
steppes, which occupy tho interior of
tho country. But far tho most ro
markable feature was tbo mountain
itself, for the loftiest pinnacles of por
phyry which rose around and beneath
thorn, vertable aiguilles, were as won
derful a sight as could be woll conceiv
ed. It was strange, even in that land
of Cappadocia, which, is full of ancient
rock dwellings, to find tho rocks ex

the marks ot tbe chisel wero evident

CUPID CLAIMS ANOTUEM.
Thu principal event of tho past week,
was the marriage of Mr. J. R. Wilson,
Bradford township's leadintr educator.
to Miss Tillio flyers, of Now Wash
ington. Tbe marriago took place at
tho residence of the bride's parents, on
Thursday last, and was witnessed by a
large company of friends of both bride
and groom. Thoir many friends in
the column of teachers will all join in
extending tho usual congratulations.
And whilo one by one our teachers go,
wo will remember that

INSTITUTE FAIR.
Next week we will publish tho
names of throo persons in each town
ship to serve as a committee to secure
school exhibits lor the Institute Fair.
Wo desiro to bavo each township's dis
play separately, and hope every teacher
will put lorth an effort to bavo bis or
ber school represented in tho exhibi
tion. Tho display will consist of pu
pils' penmanship, (in autograph hooks)
drawing, mottoes, geological collec
tions, compositions, industrial work of
all kinds, etc. And for tbo teachers'
department wo will have drawings,
(industrial and map drawing) outlines
of Jtudy on the brunches taught,
school room programmes, course of
study, chart, and bost kept report
books. A premium list will be arrang
ed in order to give every inducement
to teachers and scholars to onter some
thing for exhibition.
PETITIONS.
It has become too common in our
county for teachers to secure a peti
tion irom ine people oi school districts
asking the Directors to grant certain
pttitioneri such and such school. This
s a custom tbnt should be abandoned
at ence, and Directors would do woll
to repudiate such a thing hy discard
ing all petitions handed tbem. Al
most any person or sociable and affa-
hia domA.nnr r.n nn ... j:,....
... . ,uv u-iuv. uriiuarty an tuw
constituents, and at the same time
may not be one-balf as deserving or
as capable of conducting the school
as others wbo applied to tbe Directors
and not to the people. In such cases
Directors must either lorteit their au
thority by rejecting the host and fa
voring the weak applicant who bad to
be balustcd up with a long petition
from the pooplo. 1 have noticed this
matter, and have discovered this fact:
tbat the competent and experienced
class of teachers apply to Directors
and never think oi strengthening their
claims wuo a long petition irom tue
pooplo, while on tho othor hand, the
weakor class poorly qualified, and
not able to compote with the better
class of teachers, apend daya in getting
thoir petition. It settles itself down
to two things, that Directors must
eithor reject the bost class oi teachers
lo honor tbeso petitions, or reject these
petitions to honor talent, ability, and
exporionce. Directors are chosen to
manage and control the schools of
thoir district, and if they dosire to do
their work zealously, and maintain
their authority and dicnity, let them
discard this evil that is creeping into
our school work.
TEACHERS SALARIES.
The most important question tnat
sooms to agitate the minds of our
school workers, (and ono worthy
the careful consideration of evory
one interested in tho success of our
schools) is tho question of salarirs.
ror tbe benefit ot all such I lake the
liberty to submit tho salaries paid
teachers in 1873, and thoso of 1879.
Tho comparison shows that some dis
tricts bavo been very considerate in
tboir reduction, while others havo
gone to the farthest extreme. The
statemont gives the average lalaria of
males and females for the period statod.
We have gone to considerable trouble
to glean thoso facts, and we trust they
will rocoive a careful porusal at the
hsnds ot Directors and others:
