Inside this living rampart of infan- try the horsemen dismounted, the lan- cers with scarlet and white pennons fluttering in the morning breeze. At their side the swarthy irregulars from Natal, bearded and bronzed, and the Basutos on their little ponies, mightily impressed with the novel experience. “Now,” they said, “red soldiers fight proper; before time he send out Basuto to go fight for him, and be killed while he stay in laager; now he make laager himself, and put Basuto inside‘ and tell him, ‘You eat biscuits and we fight dâ€"-â€"n Zulu.’” In front, the hills undulating in sweeps of long, grassy slope to the plains, with here and there a tiny covert of scrub, and over all the cloud- less blue African sky, Cetewayo and the white man had chosen identically the same spot for the death struggie, and the dusky warriors were not long in making their appearance at the rendezvous. On they came, extending in perfect order, and led by a naked warrior astride a milk-white horse. No novices in the art of war were these gallant savages, and as they be- ganto get within range the line ex- tended rigbt and left until it almost encircled the square, Then, tending the air with a. yell from twenty thousand throats, they rushed forward, driving in the cavalry scouts on their way through the long grass. A moment oi suspense, a. death: ly silence. Then the big guns Opened fire, and each company in order calmly and deliberately discharged volley after volley into the dense mass before it. For one moment it looked as if they might yet burst into the square, weakest at the angles, as the Arabs of the Soudan were not slow to discover. But the danger was only momentary. No living creature could cross that awful zone of fire; the bullets literallv rained like hailstones; the bravest could get no nearer than thirty yards; the carnage was awful. As the smokedrifted asunder, our men saw one individual in a battered wideawake and nothing else, exposed to the entire front of the square, retiring nnscathed, and shouting dirisively at the marksmen, whose efi'orts were of no avail to bring him down. They were bold as lions, and no unworthy foe for British shot and steel. But the hurricane was too severe; the atttack aused, wavered, and then it was the turn of the lancers,‘ who, streaming through the rear of the sduare, prepar- ed to complete the rout, but not with- out tliscomfort, for down went Col. DI‘UI‘y-L0“e, struck by a spent ball, but fortunately in a moment up again, smiling, and not badly hurt.“Trot!‘ Form squadrons! Form line! Gallop! Charge!" And with a wild cheer the Seventeenth hurled itself against the enemy. Never was cavalry charge better timed, nor more stoutly delivered. Yet the Zulus, though beaten and ; broken, died hard. Capt.

One Zulu, hard pressed, turns round to face the pursuit, spreadind his arms wide. and receiving his death with un- flinching courage. Others, again, tight in little knots till their long sabres With as much execution as their lances. In a few moments the ground in front is cleared, the remains of the foe fly» ing up the hills out of reach of the deadly poxnts, yet harassed ever and again by the well aimed “by-and-‘bys ” sent after them by the artillery. .l - _-IA:-_- uvuv wâ€"VVi “So. after a few days the soldiers arrived at Lodwehgu very earnly in the morning with their cannon.

Scores of letters have reached us com- mending the utterance of the Era on the subject of tobacco, and some begging us not to “let up on that line." All of this is very encouraging, and we assure our friends that the Era has no idea of letting up on any line which it believes is right, and which falls within the scope of its work. As far as we have an opportunity to observe, the young preachers are freer from this filthy habit than formerly. It is hard to convince them it is wrong to use it when so many men, eminent alike for their character and usefulness, set them the example of both smoking and chewing; but as far as we can do so we shall exhort, without ceasing, against a bad habit in anybody, and an inexcusable bad one in a minister of the gospel of purity. Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost. We ought not to defile‘ them. Everything impure. unclean, un-i holy, unchaste, is wrong in a christian. \The use of tobacco certainly falls under that class of actions. It is impure, unâ€" clean, unchaste. Do you doubt it? Then you have observed but little. What mean those notices you often see : “Gentlemen will not spit on the floor.” Look on the , floor of the street car, or the railroad car : ’look at the shirt bosom of that tobacco i user ; see the brown saliva oozing out of the corners of his mouth! But this ob- jection is on the ground of pure manners. There are far deeper reasons against the use of tobacco. It is a needless self- indulgence, an expensive luxury, a flesh- 1y lust which every earnest christian ought willingly put away for Christ’s sske. Brother, give up tobacco. Never touch it again.â€"Epworth Em. A “1!,AL____L A respectable gentleman at Edinburgh related, a few years ago. a most affecting fact: 'A religious lady in Edinburgh was sent to visit a woman who was dying in consequence of disease brought on by habits of intemperance. The woman had formerly been in the ha- bit of washing in the lady’s family; and when she came to the dying woman, she remonstrated with her on the folly and wickedness of her conduct in giving way to so dreadful a sin as that of intemper- ance. The dying woman, said .You‘ have been the author of my intemper- ance.’ ‘What did you say 2’ with pious horror, exclaimed the lady ; ‘I the author of your intemperance!’ Yes, ma’am; I never drank whiskey till I came to wash ‘ in your family ; you gave me some. and said it would do me good. I felt invig: orated. and you gave it to me again. When I was at other houses: not so hos- pitable as yours I purchased a little, and by-and-by I found my way to the spirit- shop. and thought it was necessary to carry me through my hard work, and lit- tle by little I became what you now see SETTLERS T RA I N S MANITOBA and NORTHWLST via North Bay every TUESDAY, AT 9 P- For TICKETS, FREIGHT CARS and all information apply'to Ticket Agent: NTom T0 LoAu.

That ants are capable of producing sounds intelligible to their fellows and even audible to our ears seems to be roved by the experiments of Sir J ohd Bubbock, Landois, Robert ‘Vroughton, of Bombay, C. Janet, Forel, E. Wars- mann and others. It also seems to be determined that the sounds are produc- ed by the rubbing together of superfici- al portions of the body. A simple yet ingenious contrivance is described for enabling an observer to hear and study these sounds. A glass funnel is set, small end down, in the middle of a square of window glass of five or six inches wide,fitting closely enough to pre- vent the insects crawling out under it. A bunch of ants about as large as a chestnut and free from any foreign sub- stance is dropped through the tunâ€" nel, and that is lifted up at once. While the antsare still confused, and before any of them can reach the edge of the glass, it is covered with another square like it, which has been surrounded, a short distance from the edge, by a pad ot putty. This confines the ants and prevents their being crusned. The two plates of glass are pressed together to within about the thickness of an anti; body, but closer on one side than on the other, so as to hold some tight and leave others free to take such positions as please them. On applying this box of ants to the ear as one would a watch. a; regular buzzing maybe heard like that of boiling water in an open vessel, and with it some very clear stridulations. The ants may be kept alive several hours and even days in this prison if it is not airtight : and whenever the ants are excited the stridulations may be heard very numerous and intense. The stridulations are supposed to be pro- duced by rubbing the rough scaly sur- face of the chitinous covering, which is described as looking, when seen in one direction under the microscope, like the teeth of a sewnâ€"Popular Science Monthly. '9 It is a. fallacy to suppose that peeple who wear cork legs and glass eyes are indifferent to their personal appearance. They are often vainer than ordinary individuals. A rich man, for instance, who is obliged to wear an artificial eye, will wear three different eyes every dayâ€" an eye for morning, when the pupil is not very large; an eye for noon, when the pupil is smaller; an eye for even- ing, when the pupil has extended to its full size. A London eye-maker. who gave this information said he made about an equal proportion of glass eyes for men end women. Some people keep quite a stock in their possession, in fact no less than 12 eyes have been made by my in- formant witbin three years: new Women In Loren. Among the many interesting facts to be gathered from Mr. Savage-Landor's book on Corea, lately published, by no means the least striking is the author’s statement that the native queen “is much in favor of the emancipation of the Corean women.” But untortunately the sympathy of her Corean majesty does not seem at present to have done much toward im- proving the lot of her feminine subjects; , .4; .Ln. numb nf nvnrv kind His son had got one made from mea- surement. and that eye fitted so per- fectly that the old gentleman. in an outburst of gratitude, wrote off for eleven other eyes. The eyemaker ad- mitted that this was an exceptional in- stance.â€"â€"Pittsburg Dispatch. prVlus LIIU IVUVA Lev. av.--..___- ,, u . V for we are told that work of every kind is done by the women alone, who are practically the slaves of their hus- bands. It would seem, after all that the Cor- ean queen‘s leaning toward general feminine “emancipation" is nothing more than what theologians call a “pious opinion," for Mr. Savage-Lander says “there are tongues in Seoul who say that the queen actually rules the king, and therefore, through him, the countrv and that he is more afraid other gracious majesty, his wife, than of the very devil himselt.” If this be so, the queen seems rather selfishlv inclined to confine the practi- cal realization of her "new woman” them-lies to her own palace.â€"Lady's Pic- toria .
