AN ANXIOUS TIME. < No, I wu not through the last X.uln war,'' a bearded man said, a* he sat chatting with half a dozen others io the smoking room of ooa of the Castle Line steamer* homeward iMund. " I wai managing a big farm for a man who had gone home for a few monthi, and 10 oould not get away. If it had not been for that I should certainly hare joined one of the corp* of volunteer horse, for I owed the Zulus a grudge ; they onoe gave me a very bad time of it about ai bad a time ae I ever went through, and when it was over I left that part of the country altogether and went down south. " ' Would you mind telling ue aoout it ?" " No, I don'c mind now, though for tome tine I was rather shy of telling that ttory, far it wai not a pleaeant buiineM to recall; however, of course that feeling pawed off long ago. " I wa* up staying with a Boer some seven or eight milea from the Zulu frontier. A* a rale, it u not tery otten that Englishmen stay with Boen now, but there was a better feeling in those days, and though I freely admit that Boen ai a race are the least like, able set of men in the world, there are some good fellows among them men who have little of the narrow mindednes* of the race, and who are as hearty and genial mmpaa lens when they once take a liking to a man M yon may want to find. > J iet Uut wa* jut such a fellow. He had been down to Pietermaritzburg, and I had met him there and had been able to be of some service to him. In return he aaked me if I ever came near his place to pay him a visit. He stop- peri there long enough for me to come to the conclusion that the visit would be a t one should I be ible to make it- Well, a year and a half afterward I did go into that part of th* country. There wa* a large tract of land there for sale, and I wa* asked by a firm at Durban to go up aod inspect it, a* they had been written to from {England asking them to find a place of about that size for a man who wa* OMB inH t with some capital from home. " After I had zone over the farm I mad* inquiries and found that it wa* only fifteen lie*' rid* to Utet's house, so 1 rode over and had a most hearty welcome. Well, il ****a*d that on* of hi* neighbor* had been having a row with the Zulu*. Some of their cattle bad" goue aero** th* frontier; taey *aid they had been driven over by Zulu* ; anyhow, they had gone. A party had gone after them, and had traced them to a place where there wore lots of native cattle. The Zulu* come up, there wa* a quarrel and a fight, and several Xuliu were killed and one of the Boers. However, they heat the Zulus hack, and drove off a whole let of cattle. Piat had not been there. He wa* telling m* about it, and saying that it was sore to lead to a lot of trouble. The Boers no longer regarded the Zulu* with contempt, for the native* had of late turned the table* upon them.and had taken s' cattle. I aak*d Utet He laughed at the to lifting the Boers' if he was not afraid, idea. " 'I have nothing to do with the affair,' he laid. Why should they attack me ' ' I pointed out to him that the Zulns might not know who are the men that had driven off their cattle, and that even if they did natives were never very particular in this reepect. If they suffer at the hand* of too white man or through the native of another tribe, they would kill him if they oould, but if thay eoold not, they woula kill any other white man or men of the offending tribe in his stead. ' I have always boon on good terms with them,' Piet said, ' and have no f <far. ' " Four nights after wards I was awakened just as daylight was breaking by a terrific yelling and a thundering noise at the lower doors and windows. I gussssd at onoe that it was the Zulus. " There were fonr of Utet's men sleeping m the house, and for half an hour we kept them at bay. At the end of that time they bunt in through several windows, after Battering the shatter* to pieces, and in a minute we were all knocked down and tied hand and foot. "The farm animal* were collected and driven along, fir* was applied to the house building*, and we started for the frontier. Wo wore thrown acroe* hone* until we crossed the river that forms the boundary, than oar feet were unfastened, and we were mad* to walk in their midst, and aftet a tramp of two hours had mounted to a lofty plateu surrounded by almost perpendicu- lar precipices. Four other band* of about the same strength as those who had attack- ed u* cam* up one after the other, each with animal) and prisoners, and we found that ton farm* had been destroyed. The other band* had slaughtered all the inhabitant* except the Boer masters, and even of them two or three had fallen in the fight, so that in ail there ware but eleven prisoners, in- cluding the six taken at I" let's place. I learned aftei ward the order was, Fetch in the Boon from those farms.' and it had been differently understood by the different leaden. " We were placed in a Urge nut, with oar arm* (till tied behind us, and half a dozen Zola* on gaard. The next day wa wore brought oat ; there was a big chief arronndad by a dozen other chief*, and some five hundred of their soldier*. The chief made them a speech, and as I did not understand the language, I cannot Mil you what it wa* about, bat by hi* gesture*, and few Kaffir word* that I knew, I could tail that ha wa* giving it to them very hot. 'You are dogs;you existooly at the pleas- ure of our king. He has bat to give the word, and we oouli sweep the land clear of you, and yet yon venture to com* into my y to steal oar cattle, and to slay our up some men country < young men.' He then called . who had I suppose, been engaged in the fight with the liners. These pointed out five of the prisoners, all of whom had, it seemed, been engaged in the af- fair.and they were at once dragged off and hurled over a precipice some fitly yard* *>way. I will do them justice to say that they died like men, not one of them bagging for mercy. The olief then turned to u*. * You were not o.' the party, bat yoa are all alike, ail dogs, who ill tr*at the native* of yonr land. Not content with having stolen their country, you make lave* of them. Yon shoot them for the lightest offense, you value their live* be- low those of cattle ; you have killed many of my young men, and your lives are mine ; but I will send to the king to UK what he would wish done. ' 'Utet then told him that I was an Eng lishman, and was only staying with him a* a guest, an<4 oould not be held in any way responsible for the doings of his country men. 'One is as bad as another,' the chief aaid. 'We shall finish with you all some day, when the king give* the word.' Four days liter Utet and I were taken out of the hut, our bonds cut, and we were marohe<l away under a guard of twenty men. It was very haid work, for the Zulus march at an amazing pace. Utet, like most Boers.naver walked a step when he could ride, and wa* soon completely knocked up. For a while they kept htm going by prodding him with their assegais, but at last he fell, utterly in- capable of going any further. Then they lashed his body to a pole and four of them took him oo. I had thought at tint that we were being taken to Ulucdi, but we turned much more to the north, and I aaw we were not being taken to the king. Up to then I had hoped that when we got there be would order us t be released, ae he had one or tiro white men with him in whom he placed some confidence. "We halted at a kraal for the night. Next morning thev again started Utet on Bu feat, but ae before he broke down before the march was half over. The men looked angry : a few word* psssed between them and the man who wa* their leader ; he nodded.and one of them walked up to where Utet was lying almost insensible, and with one blow with hi* heavy wady broke in hi* fkull. We were traversing a very hilly country, ami toward evening ascended '.o kraal perched upon the top of an almost in- accessible hill, and I guessed that this was my destination forthe present. Theking did not want to have me at Ulumii, in order that it there were any complaint* from Na- tal he oould deny that I we* there, bat I was to be kept a prisoner, so that there should be no witness of the msasaore of the others. Probably the tirst time he wa* out of temper with the Knglieh he would send order* for me to be killed. I remained there two month*. I wa* allowed to walk where I liked about the kraal, but wa* not permitted to pas* the gate in the rough wall surrounding it. "The Zulus told me frankly that I should never go out again, and that it would not be lung before they had orders for my ex- ecution. The men did not trouble to guard me, bat two or three lad* of fifteen or six- teen, armed with spears, always kept near mr. It wac a horrible existence, aad it* uncertainty mad* it all the more unbear- able. In most stones I have read some native woman or other take* pity on the captiv* and assists him to **eapo . Nothing of the kind happened to m*. I wa* not long before I made op my mind to try, and the difficulty did not seem so much in getting away to begin with, a* in making my way across the country afterward. Four men always slept in the hat with me, and a boy always kept guard at the door. 1 might possibly have stabbed them in their sleep one by one, but I could not bring myself to do this, an J decided that the only plan was to rilenc* the boy. "For a day or two before I made the at- tempt I gathered pieces of charrei wood from the fire and stowed them away, and al*o kept earn* fat from a calabash thst served a* a lamp. I waited for a windy niirht, and then crawled to the entrance. The boy wa* outside and wa* leaning against it. T he doors of these hut*, you know, are only about four feat high, so there was no getting a drive at bis head. I had taken a wady, an aseegai, and a shield from the aide of oneof the Zulus who waiileep- ing heavily, for there had bean a feast of some sort or other that afternoon. I crouched for a time at the entrance, looking through the kin that hung across, in hope* my guard would move, but he did not do so, but stood so long immovable that I came to th* con- clusion that he had gone to sleep leaning against th* hut. There wa* nothing for it, for I knew that I most be milee away before morning. Suddenly I grasped both hi* ankle*, jerked hi* legs from under him, and he fell head foremost. "In a moment I wa* on hi* bark and brought th* wady down on hi* head with a force which I hoped would stun bat not kill him. Then I tied hi* hand* tightly behind him, and hound hi* feet, shoved a piece of stick into hi* mouth, and fastened It there with some cord, or rather twisted hide, going round the back of bis neck. Then I lifted bin and carried him a few yard* away trom th* door and laid him down again, took off his belt with the short petticoat of skin attached to it, aod made oft "There was no difficulty in climbing the wall, and, once over, I mad* my way down the path by which I had been brought up. I walked on for hoar* and when it began to get light went down into a ravine, and then set to work to disguise myself. I powdered the charcoal between two atones, and mixed it with the tat, then, stripping, I rubbed myself all over. I pat on the native petticoat, retaining nothing of my own attire but my shoes, and t hen, taking the shield, assegai, and club, continued my way. My disguise oould not for a moment deceive anyone near at hand ; the object simply wa* to give myself th* appearance of a native at a distent view. I went most. of the time at a trot, for thali* th* usual Zola gait. I kept a vigilant lookout, a* yon may suppose, avoiding a raw villages I saw, and keeping olear of any men I caught ight of. "It wa* of no use trying to hid* any where, for I knew it wa* a mere question of speed. I had calculated on eight hcurs' tart, and keeping due wait I duf not think it wa* more than fifty or sixty mile* at th* ouuide to th* frontier from th* point at which I had started. It is a good many years ago now, and I wa* active and young, and just, at sunset, 1 oro*sed a river, that was, I fancied, the boundary. I wa* utter- ly done up, but I kept on until it wa* quite dark, and the Zulu* would be no longer able to follow me. Then I turned aaid* into a clump of bushes and slept till th* morning. I peered oat very cautiously, but a* no native* were in sight, I con tinned my journey, and two hours later cam* in light of a farmhouse. I threw away the shield and weapon*, and rubbed myself from the waist up until I had got myself fairly white. If I had gone up a* I wa*. a Boer, if he hap- pened to be in a sulky humor, would have greeted me with a rifle ball. The men of the family were already out am tlM veldt when I g->t there, bat the women received me kindly when they learned who I *M, and what bad befallen me, gar* me a meal, a flannel shirt, and a pair of trousers. When the men came in, I found that the farmer had known Utet, and he furnished m* with a hone and ne ceesariee, and one of his sou rode with me to Standerton, where I had some acquaint anoee, and my trouble* ware over. But it was a long time before I recovered from the strain of that two months of watting for the order for my execution." A HUMAN SKELETON FOUND. Tar fiini itun- Weeilil imii, i.

It gives me the queers every time I think ot that town two queers, 1 may say, for I have to catch my breath when I think of the sweetheart 1 had there up in Califat, on the hill toward the bay, and then I have to catch it again and catch hard when I think of how I lost her.

Dr. Scadding was puzxle-i at th* fact of the body be og buried FACE now SWARDS, and when asked whether it might not have been that of a criminal, who wa* buried in this way, he eaid that he had never heard of such a custom. There never had been a military station near this place, the doctor went on to aay, and the nearest ap- proach to one had been a blockhouse, built for the defence of the old House of Par I is ment, which stood some 500 yards south east of the corner of Berkeley and Duke streets, on the spot formly occupied by the old jail. The blockhouse wa* still further south east of the Parliament buildings, but he saw no connection between it and th* burial on Duke street. The presence of the pieces of the sword blade, Dr. Scad- ding aaid, indicated that the man had Leon an officer. The place where the skeleton wai exhumeil had formuly, said the doctor, been the bed of a creek, called Goodman's time he had called his son, who we* watch- ing on a bark at the wharf just astern of u* named the Loner, and the son and I hid behind the long boat just abaft the fore- mast, while the old man went to warn the runners to leave the .hip. " They were willing enouf h to leave by that time, for they had one of our best men all coaxed up to go, and up they came, one of them carrying the sailor's bag, while Jack himself nad hi* arms full of dunnage, and away the three went along the deck toward the rail. " With that the son who wa* with me slips around the foremast and up behind thrm and welts the sailor over the head. Down goes Jack in a heap, and the father and son climb* on on* of the runners and down* him. " At that the other runner has a mind to help his mate, but he sees me coming with a big iron belaying pin in hand. That wa* enough for him, and away he ran aft, bat that uelrymg pin caught him fair in the back and bowled him over across the main hatch a* neat as a pin m a bowling alley. " Then I mounted him and began ham- mering in hi* countenance with my fist*. He mad* bold to fight back for a minute, and I was about to reach for the belaying pin to soothe him with it, when up went his legs in the air, and he squawked like a woman. The ship'* dog, a savage brute, had heard the commotion, and, coining up the companionway, had nipped him in the thigh till the blcod flew. "Well, now, tor a few minutes we all had a lot of fun with these two runners, and then I took them aft and looked them in a cabin closet till the Captain cams.

The newspapers and the politicians of the l.'mtud States that so often refer to (ireat Britain in spiteful and hostile Un^uage.and those American protectionist* who would level a high tariff particularly at British g>ods, ouicnt to consider the fact* present- ed in the leading article of the New York Journal of Commerce and ( 'ommercial Bul- letin on Thursday last. These fact* are. first, that one-half of the total export* of the United .States go to Great Britain ; seconii, that the United States doe* not take from <>raat Urivain more than one- fourth to one-third of as much merchandise as it sends to her ; third, that the sentiment toward* i.reat Britain that finds commonest expression in the United States u one of extreme unfriendliness. Of last year's total export* from the United States, amounting to 1892, 143,547, $431.003.687 went directly to British port*, and besides this a oonsid arable amount went there indirectly through Canada. In the last six years Britain took above TWO BIU.ION AND A HALF KOLLABfl worth of United State* good*, which was more than all the other nations together took. Also, British capitalists have sup- plied the greater part of the money for the development of industry in the United States. To no other country in the world i* th* United .state* so much beholden a* to Great Britain, and no other country in the wurld U so much beholden to her. Britain hai been treated moat shabbily in return. If she ha* a difference upon any qnastion with another power, the United States i* ready to make her out in the wrong. Some time ago, when an amiable but absurd proposal for the union of the naval power of Britain and th* State* wa* broached by a visionary Knglishman. th* New York Sun, with equal folly, declared that Britain must b* destroyed. It* oft- vented malignity to Britain, like that of the politician* who prof*** Anglophobia, i* addressed to the very lowest element* of the populace, whom it is intended to gratify. But it is not always to tickle the rabble this envy and malice i* shown toward* the greatest customer of the United State*. Henry Cabot Lodge might be supposed to be above that small businees, yet he wanted the tariff to be charged with special and prohibitory duties against British merchan- dise to ounish her for rejecting proposals for bimetallism. In regard to the enforce- ment of the Behhng Sea regulation*, in connection with th* Brazilian war, the trouble* at Bluetields, at Samoa, at Hawaii aod in thote between China and Japan, the enemies of Britain in th* United State* IIIUZKD IVBBV orpoaYnrarrr to misrepresent her. Yet they owe, bar for no small part of their bread and butter. In the faoe of all this antagonism and abuse, th* Mother Country ha* treated th* United States with the utmost maonanimity. With a tenth part of each ground* of provocation any other European power would have retaliated. Then wa* a time when the United State* had almost a monopoly in the production of surplu* food-stuffs. Then Britain had to buy her wheat and floor from th* States if she would get them at the lowest price. It is otherwise now. If Britain did not, take a single cargo of United State* wheat, she could gat all she want* at the lowest price ruling in the world's market*. Roma, Austria, India, Argentine, Chili, aod Canada oould *upply all her want*. Th* United State* crop would still be on th* market to keep prioe* at their level, but the sale of it would be scattered. The feeling that it would seem most reasonable and most natural for the United State* to entertain toward* so great a customer m that of the warmest friend- chip. Such a foellng would seem to be prompted by business considerations, worn than no blood or language in the question. A CARRIAGE FOR THE BABT. Tkrttr ", rre.eau Io the 1,-w I* Britain'* Throne .
