Altogether the scene was most curious, till dense darkness c'ann- down on it like an extinguisher, and put it out. Ernest tOok his men to a building which the Government had placed 'at their disposal. and had the horses stahlul, but not unsaddlcd. Presently orders came down to him to keep the corps under arms all night; tosend out [our patrols to he relieved at midnight to watch the approaches to the town; and at dawn to saddle up and reconnoiter the neighboring country. Ernest obeyed these order). as Well as he ‘ could ; that is. he sent the ’patrols out. but so dons-o was the darkness that they never got back again till the following morning, when they were collected. and. in one instance, dug; out of the various ditches, «marry-holes. etc., into WllH'll the.» had fallen. About clcvtru o‘clock .l'lruc-st was seated in a little room tlml opened out of the main building when they won.- quartered, consulting with Jeremy about matters mnnogtud with the corps‘ and wondering if Alston had found a Zulu lmpi, or i] it was all gummnn. when suddenly they heard the sharp challenge of the sentry outside : " Who goes there?" “\Vhocvor it is‘ had better answer sharp,” said Ernest ; ” .I guvc tho sentry orders to be quick with his rifle lo-night." “ Bang! crush ! ” followcdby loud howls of " Wilhcmilm, my wife l ah. the cruel mum has killed my VV'ilhemifin!" “ Heavens. it is that lunatic (lornmnl Hero. orderly, run up to the Defense Coni- mittca 9nd the Government OlliCCS. and tell them that it is nothing : they will think the Zulns are here.

Presently Ernest’s old friend at the High \‘chlt. looking very wild and uncouth in the lamplight. with his long beard and matted hair, from which the min was dripping, was bundled rather unceremoniously into the room. “ Ah. there you are, dear sir ; it is two w three years since we meet. .

Hence the scare. The next month was a busy one for Alston‘s Horse. It was drill, drill, drill morning‘ noon and night. But the results soon became apparent. In three weeks from the. day they got their horses, there was not a smarter, quicker corps in South Africa, and Mr. Alston and Ernest ware highly complimented on the soldier-like appearance of the men. and the rapidity and exactitudc with which they executed all the ordinary cavalry manu-uvrea. all the ordinary cavalry manu-uvrca. They were to march from Pretoria on the 10th of January. and l xpeeted to overtake (‘olonel Glyun’s column, with which mm the General, about the 18th, by which time Mr. Alston ealeuluted the reul advance upon Zululand would begin. ‘i .

The engineer 0! the bted train lays thnt jolt a: he came u n the bridge the bell-cord was pulled an at the signal he slacked the train. His eKeed was not more than ei 1ht miles an our when the signal sound . Looking back he saw the rear car swing 03' the bridge In its (all it seemed to pull three cars wi‘ it, one after the other. Then the coupling broke and the forward art of the train was saved. This would in ieato that the truck of the rear car broke and that somebod in the var realized this and gave the signs. to the engineer. As nearly everybody in this our eriehed, the probabilities are that we she] never know more about the cause of the disaster than is known now. Evan since a few London west end ladies adopted the Bloomer costume in 1851 there have been I asmodic spurts in favorof dress reform. f late years an annual conference has been held at which corsets, skirts. high-heeled shoes and garters have been denounced as the parents of all the evils. physical and moral. which‘ afiliet a stilt-necked generation. The annual con- ference of the Rational Dress Reform Asso- ciation in London has just been brought to a close. The meetings were not open to the sterner sex. The platform was adorned by ladies dressed~in various styles of “ rationality.” Viscountess Harberton. who appeared in a divided garment. deliv- ered an address. and so did Mrs. Pfeiffer, who wore a Greek costume with modifica- tions, but nothing positively novel seems to have been said or worn and no fresh suggestiuis offered. There is not in L ndon the least sign of a disposition among men of society to. adopt anything but the latest fashions of fashionable:dressmakers. WHILE Mr. Stanley has been making the last preparations at London and Cairo for his journey into Africa, some of his assist- ants, sent in advance to Zanzibar, have been hiring porters and huyingund packing the trade goods needed for the march. Stanley expects to arrive at Zanzibar on February 213%, and if the thousand, porters he requires have been secured by that time he will doubtless depart at once on his difiicult mission. He greatly ‘prefers phe Congo route, believing it to offer- the easiest “qu safest road to l‘lmin Boy’s camp at Wad-chi. It would, to be sure. take him over 9. month to round the Co. and reach the Congo, but he estimates t at with the aid of the Congo State steamers, which King Leopold has placed at his disposale could reach l'lmin Bey in forty-five or fifty days from the mouth of the river. If. however, thcrc- is no steamer at Zanzibar that Manlny mn engage M Mme to take his party to the Congo, he will risk the Inn“; fold perils of the overland mute. It Is a noteworthy {act that although the natives set“! the whites as porters along a 31110 part of the African coast.tlxe Zanzibnri‘ are by far the most trustworthy ; and Stanley thouflht it necessary to go to the east sonst for them, though he desired to haul: his mission on the west.

" “ 'l‘hcn cameadiaboli- cal crash of teeth from a complete circle aroumL...us. followed immediately by another Wild charge, and the battle was again renewed. ‘ " Six or seven other attacks followed, but each one became weaker, and the intervals of longer duration. The eventful night seemed interminable. and finally it was not until near daybreak that we heard the last grunt. In the morning 27 dead pee. caries were found in about the camp. and several wounded, to whom it was necessary to give the ('01!de grace. * ’ ' During the battle I could not help noticing the apparent method of their movements, as though they were led by chiefs. Their mode of attack is to surrmnuldn silence by a complete circle the object to be stormed; when, at a given signal.a simultaneous snapping of teeth takes place. followed by n converging rush to the centre. whereby the largest and strongest reach the front first and the Hinnllu-st bring up the rear. Their retreat is curried out on an equally methodical system. There is a tendency to return to some old-fashioned (mlors under new names.
