SURROUNDED BY ZULUS.
A Hide for I I fe Down a Jtocky Puss
Swarmlnt Wllh the Merciless Barae
An EttRllah Victor-,
A letter to tho Edinburgh B'olsnian
gays: I have obtained from h trust
worthy source the following graphic
description of tho terrible encountxT on
the Ziubann mountain, South Africa, by
one who participated in it:
On March 27 wo started from our
ennip at Kambulu Hill, in Zululand, to
attack a Zulu stronghold some twenty
miles away called tho Ziobana mountain.
Wo numbered about night hundred
mounted men, and wero nearly all of us
volunteers, under Colonel Wood nomi
nally, but tho real command was exer
cised by Colonel Huller. We started
about eight o'clock in the morning, and
very cheerful and lively wo nil wero.
About five o'clock in tho evening we
reached the slope of the mountain. Wo
were hero fired at, but took no notice, as
we wanted to got along unporceived.
When darkness set in wo .bivouacked,
each man holding his horse in hand
while ho lay down to rest not to sleep.
During tho night there was a terrible
thunderstorm and we got thoroughly
drenched. At four A. M. wo wero all
nstir, feeling miserable enough ; our sad
dles were nearly as soft and wet as our
clothes. We ascended tho hill pretty
easily, but nearly at the top tho Zulus
began to make us aware of their presence.
By six o'clock we were at the top of the
plateau and our native allies .were setting
lire to some Zulu huts and collecting the
cattle, about 2.000 in number. After a
time we collected at tho opposite end of
the plateau, and here we found the Zulus
in stronger lorce than wo had estimated.
They commenced a heavy lire upon us
and we were engaged fully half an hour
with them before wo succeeded in silenc
ing them. Abo:it eleven wo became
aware of the serious fact that while we
had been encaging a few Zulus at one
side a very largo number of them had
come the way we ascended, and others to
our right and left, and that we were be
ing surrounded. A very few minutes'
observation was sufficient to convey the
terrible impression to our minds that
once more the Zulus had got us into a
trap and that we wero going to have to
tight for our lives to get out of it as best
we could or die. The wily savages be
gan to appear on every side not in twos
or threes, but in hundreds nnd thousands.
Some of them had evidently climbed
what to us seemed .1 positively perpen
dicular buttress on our left. , Our retreat
was cut oil", and there was nothing to be
done but either " light it out to the end "
or endeavor to escape down an nlmost
perpendicular pass a tew hundred yards
m front of us. There had been too much
" lighting it out to the end " in the two
months immediately preceding Tsandula.
There was but one outlet for us, and
toward it we had orders to gallop. I was
in the rear, and when I reached the
place tho sight was sickening. There
was an almost perpendicular pass about
ten feet wide and about 300 or 400 yards
down. It was tilled with rough, ragged
boulders, between which were crevices
where once the poor horse and rider fell
lie was seen no more. It seemed full of
llnl'una nnfl moll tlr,llniliiil n tr mid linnn

while the zvulus were pouring a murder

1 do not know: I have not met with a
single comrade yet who does. The chief
senstition I experienced Avas that behind
me. at about 800 ynrds distance, was a
very strong force of Zulus yelling in n
manner themost bloodthirsty and liend-
i. in ono or two places progress was
altogether impeded by chasms six or
eight feet wide, and it was only by jump
ing them, or rather by risking the at
tempt (for many a poor fellow lost his
footing and his life here), that further
descent was possible. Nearly all tho
horses were killed or had to bo left before
we reached the bottom. All this time
the Zulus were firing on us, and
amid tlio most piteous shrieks for mercy
rushing from tho sides of the pass ana
assegaieing our poor fellows. How nny
of us escnned it, is to mo. nnil almost
every one else, a miracle. At last, some
how or other, 1 got to the neck of the
puss, escaping injury from the heavy hre
of the enemy, but only to lind that on the
plain m lrontwas a big Zulu army en
gaged with our men, who were divided
into parties and lighting for dear life.
Colonel Weatherly and his corps were
ahiiost cut up to a man. They were
separated from the main body, and the
last that was seen of tho gallant colonel
was his commanding figure, sword in
hand, killing tlio enemy right and left
and selling his life as dearly as possible.
The retreat home was a light. We
reached the camp in tlio evening by twos
and threes, some with arms and clothins.
others almost devoid of either. Some
horses were carrying two men, others
three: every one was humiliated nnd
dispirited. This is one picture of the
disaster in "The Devil's Pass" on the
Ziobana mountain on March 28, 1879
It was getting considerably into the
forenoon ot the 2stli before I had sum
ciently recovered myself to feel exactly
how and where I was. The ordinary
morning duties of camp life had been
going on, and now and then I had come
across a companion of the previous dav
whose haggard face still betokened how
he had been " face to face with death."
Our camp was to all intents and pur
poses impregnable. It was proof
Hgiiinst an ordinary .European army
without artillery. ADout 11 a. m. we
learned that a Zulu spy had been caught
and informed Colonel Wood that the
Zulus were to attack us during our din
ner hour, shortly atterward it was
shown plainly enough that this was so,
Tho Zulus could bo seen in a huge black
mass about five miles away coming on
very slowly and leisurely. Everything
went on in camp just the same; even
the dinner was prepared and catei
There were 2,000 of us, and we wer con
fident nnd eager to be avenged. When
they got within about three miles the
alarm was sounded, tents struck, the
forts manned and every ono stood to
arms. The Zulus appeared to form
themselves into battle array about three
miles off, the main body advancing
direct to the camp and the " horns," as
they are termed, stretching to the right
ancf left. When they got within about
three thousand yards the eavalry were
sent out and did good service by draw
ing them on (tiring and retreating)
within range of the artillery. The cav
alry, being a very small force, retired
within the camp, and at about a mile
tange tho artillery opened upon the
enemy. The rapidity and precision with
which this branch volleyed death and
destruction into the dense masses of
Zulus was admirable. Tea or fifteen of
them were sent to glory every shot:
next day they lay in rows. But still on
they came with the ferocity of tigers,
never halting, never wavering, never
nincinng or hesitating lor a moment.
Say what people may about its being
animal ferocity rather than manly
bravery, no soldiers in the world could
have been more daring than were the
Zulus that day; When tho main body
got within about 800 yards the men of
the Ninetieth regiment, who were oppos
ing them, opened one of the most deadly
fusillades it is possible to imazine

the forces that had attacked our right

received. And the enemy apparently
saw that they must change their tactics.
They did so, and scattered themselves

Major Ilackett and two companies of
the Ninetieth were sent out, nnd al
though they suffered severely they sue
ceeded in doing so, firing volley after
volley and at last charging the position
at t he point of the bayonet. In bringing
back his men Major Ilackett was fatally
wounded and Lieutenant lirlght was
killed. During all this time fighting
had been coins on all round, and a party
of Zulus made a desperate rush and got
into tho cattle laager, driving a company
of tho Thii teenth out of it. They, how
ever, gallantly reformed and gallantly
drove liack tho enemy at tho point of
the bayonet. Tho artillery all the while
had been pouring grape and canister
into tho Zulus with murderous pre
cision. By about 5 o clock tho enemy
evidently began to see we wero not to
be taken, and began to slacken their fire,
ultimately retiring altogether. At 6.30
M. thev had fired their last shots and
began to retreat, and tho cavalry nnd
horse artillery were sent after them.
Terrible execution was the result, and
no quarter was shown. Exeter Nail
may say what it may, but it was death
to every Zulu who came within range
of the carbine of a trooper or the stroke
of his saber. The cavalry'pursuod them
for about ten miles, returning to camp
at dusk. The few native allies we had
left did terrible work in this pursuit,
and it was difficult for our ollicers to re
call them to return. As they cut off and
dispatched tho retreating Zulus the cry
of " Isandhlwana" resounded in the
evening air.
A New Advertising Wrinkle.
The recent attemnted assassination of
Edwin Booth recalls,, an incident that
occurred while that tragedian was play
ing his last engagement in this city, and
which is the real origin of the rumor
that he intends never to visit the Pacific
coast again.
It seems that one morning while Mr.
Booth was making his toilet in his room
at the Palace, the door quietly opened,
and a wide-awake-looking individual
slid in and cheerfully bid the astonished
actor good morning.
"Hows 'Hamlet' to-day?" said the
stranger, blandly. "'Fraid you wouldn't
see me it 1 sent my card up, so just
ronned in informally, ns it were."
" So I see," said tho only Ligo.'
What can I do for you?"
"The fact is. Mr. Booth." said the
visitor, hurriedly, " I am the advertis
ing ngent for tho Bazembees' Auction

" But I don't want to sell you any, my
dear sir," put in the agent; " I just come
to make you' a regular business proposi
tion. Coin in it, my dear sir; com in
it."
" But, zounds, sirrah, I am nn actor
not nn auctioneer!"
"That's exactly it. You know we
agents are always up to some new adver
tising dodge or other. I attended your
performance last night, Mr. Booth, und
it occurred to me if vou would only in
troduce some mention of our establish
ment into your lines, we could afford to
pay very liberally for it."

where it would seem kinder natural and

' Hamlet.' instead ol giving simply the
lines 'customary suits of solemn black,'

Bazembees' for 824.' That would sort of
nail tho attention of the audience, seems
to me."
" I should think so." said tho star.
stealthily edging over toward a Roman
sword in the corner.
" I see you catch the idea," continued
the ngent. Now, there's 'Romeo and
Juliet. There's dead loads of good
chances in that. In the balcony scene
vou might say, ' I would I wore one of
Bazembees' cheap dog-skin gloves upon
that hand that I might touch that
cheek.'"
" You'd like that, ould you ? ' erimlv
inquired Mr. Booth, slowly unsheathing
the sword behind his back, and getting
in front of the door.
Yes, sir; we shouldn t mind .? 100 a
night to have that done in nrst-ciass

Nobody who visits the Zoolocical

bears, nnd from looking at them tho
desire to see them eat is as natural as

pits containing altogether eight bears
In the first pit are two cinnamon bears,
noted for their laziness and their dis
position for climbing the artificial trees
placed there for their benefit, and falling
asleep on the loltiest porch in the sun.
1 ho next pit contains two huge grizzlies,
and the third four black bears. This

There is a rush of men, women and

bears throats become a target lor the
skill of old and young. It is like an ex

"The Empire State."
A Brooklvn correspondent oi the
Magazine of American History says: It is
known but to very few persons that the
name or soubriauet of the State of New
York, which is generally called the
" Empire State," is not assumed by our
citizens out of State pride, but was
given by General Washington.
The proof of this may be found in his
reply to the address ol the common
Council of the citv of New York, sinned
by James Duane, mayor, and dated the
2d day of December, 1784. In this letter
he says : " I Dray that heaven may
bestow its choicest blessing on your
city that the devastation ot war in
wlJoh you found it may soon be without
a trace, lhat a well regulated and bene
ficial commerce may enrichen your citi
zens and that your State (at present
the seat ol the empire) may bet such ex
amples of wisdom and liberality as shall
have a tendency to strengthen and give
a permanency to the Union at home
and credit and respectability to it
abroad."

The Cork Tree.
The cork treo is a species of the oak.
found as a natural growth in the south
ern parts of Europe and tho northern
portions oi All ien, mitre ii is aiso ex
tensively cultivated. Its product forms
one of tho most important articles of ex
port from these regions. The tree is on
evergreen, not large, growing only from
twenty to forty feet liigh, and having
many slender ana wine-spreading
branches. It produces an acorn which
is much like tlio acorn in taste, and is
gathered to some extent for use, though,
as is well known, the tree is chiefly valu
able lor its cork.
When the treo Is only from three to
five years old, its bark has already at
tained that peculiar cellulum or sponev
appearance which is so familiar as tho
pecial characteristic ol the cork. From
lie first, the erowth of the inner nor-
ions of the bark is much more rapid
than the outer ; and, as a consequence,
uie outercovering soon begins to crack
from tho pressure, and ultimately to peel
off, its place in preserving the vitality of
the tree being taken by the newer growth
next tho wood. Tho cork bark intended
for the market is cut off a year or two
before it would thus naturally fall awav
by itself. The process is simply to cut
it to the proper depth around tho tree,
and then make incisions up and down
the trunk, when, with a sort of curved
drawing-knife, it is not difficult to cut
away the long layers which we see com
ing afterward in bales to our markets.
Of course, layers of bark when taken
from the tree are round, like tho trunk,
but they nro easily flattened by soaking
in water and pressing, after which they
are usually charred before being packed
in bales.
The trees are eenerallv allowed to
stand till they are twelve or fifteen years
old before stripping tho first time. This
nrst product is usually ot a poorer qual
ity, having more of the woody fiber. It
is used chiefly for floats and buoys, and
such coarser purposes, or else burnt for
lamp-black. After tho first harvest a
new layer, an inch or more in thickness,
is formed every six or eiirht vears: and
the trees will live, affording a yield about
at this rate, for one hundred and fifty
years. The bark taken away has ceased
to have vitality; therefore its removal,
if carefully accomplished, is never a
detriment to the tree. It rather pro
motes its health and growth, being mere
ly the removal of an incumbrance.
Most of the uses of cork have been
long familiar, many of them being men
tioned by our older historians. Ol course
its chief use, that for stoppers, has greatly
increased since the manufacture of gloss
and earthenware has been so common.
For this purpose it is of unrivaled con
venience, and well-nigh indispensable.
But beside this, cork is put to a great
variety of uses, among wliich are some
lof whicli its being impenetrable to water
itnti a nau conductor ot neat specially nc
it. The cork solo to our shoes readily
occurs to every one j but it is not so well
known that Russia is one of the best cus
tomers for cork, and in that cold climate
large sheets of this material are slit into
plates and used to line the walls of their
louses.
In some parts of Southern France and
Spain the cork forests are deemed among
their most profitable lands. The nnnual
product is at the rate oi about two hun
dred and fifty pounds to the acre. In
Algeria large tracts of cork woods are
owned by the government, which leases
them to individuals, receiving from this
source a revenue of about two million
dollars per annum.
(."ork trees have been planted in J-ng-land,
but without much success. The
southern part of our own country, how
ever, ought to be adapted, both in cli
mate and soil, to the production of this
wood. New York Mercantile Journal.
Words or Wisdom.
The freer vou feel yourself in the
presence of another, the more free is lie.
The way to cain a good reputation is
to endeavor to be what you desire to ap-
pear.
Men resemble tho cods in nothing so
much as in doing good to their fellow
creatures. Few persons have sufficient wisdom to
preier censure, winch is useiui to them,
to praise, which deceives them.
None are so seldom found alone nnd
are so soon tired of their own company
as those coxcombs who are on the best
terms with themselves.

Have more than thou showest,

It is with antiquity ns witli ancestry:
nations tire proud of tho one, and in
dividuals of the other. But if they are
notliimr in themselves, that which is
their pride ought to be their humiliation.
When we are young we nro slavishly
employed in procuring something where
by wo may live comfortably when we
grow old ; and when we are old we per
ceive it is too late to live as we pro
posed.
A physician is not angry nt the in
temperance of a mad patient, nor does
ho take it ill to bo railed at by a man in
a fever. Just so should a wise man
treat all mankind as a physician does his
patient, and look upon them only as
sick and extravagant.
Ask the man of adversity how other
men act towiird him ; ask those others
how lie acts toward them. Adversity is
the true touchstone of merit in both;
happy if it does not produce the dis
honesty of meanness in one, and that of
insolence and pride in the other.
The most agreeable of all companions
is a simple, frank man, without any
high pretensions to an oppressive great
ness; one who loves life and understands
tho use of it ; obliging alike at all hours ;
above all, of a golden temper and stead
fast as an anchor. For such an one we
gladly exchange the greatest genius, the
most brilliant wit, the profoundest
thinker.

Camels in Arizona.
Some two years since a herd of camels
was driven to Yuma county, Arizonn,
with tho intent to render them aervicablo
in I lio Territory as beasts of burden. As
the expectation formed of them was not
realized, they were turned loose by their
owners to roam eastward along the Gila
river at their own ruminating will. They
appear to have enjoyed their liberty, and
to have profited by it. Not only have
they thriven its though they had beenin
their native Africa, but they have bred
liberally, and seem to have become do
mesticated to the region.' It is thought
that the now generation of camels willbe
thoroughly acclimated, nnd used to the
alkaline waters peculiar to tlfat section.
Tho waterless descft of Sonora, to the
south and southeast of Yuma county,
contains vast deposits of salt, sulphur,
borax and soda, with immense mineral
ores in the mountains. These camels
may yet bo employed to advantage in
transporting those products, for they can
go without water as neither horses nor
mules can. As is well known, the inside
of their second stmnnch and of a portion
of their first stomach is lined with cells
in which water is stored up and retained,
enabling them to endure long drought.
It would be singular if the rejected nnd
wandering camels should yet be found to
be the best means of developing the re
sources of Sonora and much of the coun
try roundabout. Nevertheless, it would
be' only ono of many instances in which
apparent accident has succeeded where
design lias failed.

by remedying tho disordor which produces
