THE SHARP FIGHT IN WHICH KING CETEWAYO IS SAID TO HAVE FALLEN —-ROYAL TROPHIES FROM THE FIELD. The Durban correspondent of the London Standard telegraphs the following details of Cetewayo’s jast baitle, as told to him by ja European, who was an eye-witness of the conflict : — Usibepu’s impi arrived within two miles of Ulundi very early on the morning of the 2ist ult., after marching the whole night. At Ulundi Cetewayo had assembled seventy comp.nies of men, and was waiting for the arrival of Mnyamana and Abaqualusi with their impis, intending to make a descent on Manhlajasa, in conjunction with Som- kela and a horde or Tongas from the coast. Halting for a few minutes to allow all his fcllowers to come up, Usibepu formed com- panies and marched on Ulundi, without taking time for rest or food. Cetewayo’s scouts soon announced the approach of the enemy, and the whole of his forces turned out and advanced to meet them. The attach commenced at Usibepu’s left wing, and for ten minutes a brisk fite was kept up. By this time Usibepn himself had brought up his right wing, and at once led them into action. This movement, and, indeed, the whole attack, was managed throughout by Usibepu in a way that would have done no discredit to a European field officer. A BRILLIANT CHARGE, The command to charge was now given, and the whole impi rushed down on Cete- wayo's army in excellent atyle. In a few minutes all was over. The Usutus wavered, broke, and were soon flying in all direc- tions, and within less than half an hour after the attack commenced Ulundi was in flames. The enthusiasm and dash of the atiack could not have been excelled. Usi- bepu himself seemed to be everywhere, ex- posing himself wherever the fire was hot test, and encouraging the different com- panies by name. Notwithstanding the brisk fire of the Usutus, the men advanced as steadily as if on parade, quietly closing in the ranks as they were thinned by the shots from the King’s army, which was im- mensely superior in numbers to that of Usibepu, Cetewayo having seven thousand men to the latter’s three thousand. Da- bulamanzi sat at the kraal gates at first, watching the fighting, and occasionally fir- ing shots from his rifle; but when the Usutus broke, he fled on horseback, carry- ing hisson behindhim. Finding, however, that the boy hampered him in his flight he dropped him, and left him to his fate. By this means Dabulamanzi escaped but the boy was killed. CETEWAYO FLIES. When the pursuit reached Ulundi Kraal, Cetewayo, who does not seem to have been aware of the fullimport of what was going on, fled hurriedly. He tried to mount a horse, but was unsuccessful. He then fled on foot, and unclothed for about a mile and a half, when he was spied by some of Usi- bepu’s men, who stabbed him twice. The men then became frightened at what they had done, and left him, and immediately afterwards, meeting my correspondent, they told him that they had captured Cete- wayo. He told them not to harm him, and immediatelly rode after Usibepu, to inform him that his victory was complete. Usibepu at once sent out a company to bring in Cete- wayo, but they were unable to find him. The vietors secured a considerable quantity of booty in Ulundi. My correspondent re- ports that he has gained possession of a silver-mounted drinking cup, on which is engraved ‘Presented to His Imperial Majesty King Cetewayo by Lord and Lady S. Churchill.” One of Usibepu’s Indunas has the Malacca cane presented by the Prince of Wales, and Usi) »pu himself has the three-handled mug presented by the Queen, as well as two splendid photographs of Her Majesty. Cetewayo’s fate is still uncertain, —_—_——__.—_-- —me@ «— - The Ste. Anne Pilgrims. The Montreal correspondent of the Toronto Mail, writing to that paper, says three additional miracles among the 1,200 pilgrims to Ste. Anne de Beaupre from Ottawa who retnrned to the city are report- ed. A lady who was asked about her cure said :—‘‘My name is Mrs. Michel Prud- homme. I am 49 years of age, and reside at Hull. For eight years I have been suf- fering greatly from ulcers on my left leg and foot, except at very rare intervals. 1 have been unabie during that time to use my foot; had to use crutches to walk. Hearing of the pilgrimage, I decided to go and implore Ste. Anne. When [I arrived at Montreal on Monday I had to take a carriage to go to the boat, end again upon arriving at Ste. Anne yesterday I had to be conveyed to the church im a vehicle. In the church they placed me at a short dis- tance from the altar railing, and when the moment for communion came I felt that I could go and receive the sacrament without using my crutches.

I don’t consider myself perfect- ‘ly healed yet, for my ulcers are still there ‘and my foot is swoolen, but I can walk, |which it was impossible for ms to do before. ‘I certainly consider my case a miracle, and cannot be too thankful to Ste. Anne for her |mercy.” | * Two other cases fully as strange, of an ‘elderly man and a litle girl, both of whom left their crutches behind, were related lalso.

SINGLE Corres Two U:xNTs., VOL 13,---NOQ. 78. | Closing Saloons at Midnight. In referring to the recent mandate of Mayor Stowell, of Milwaukee, Peck’s Sun says:— **No one act of Mayor Stowell has caused so much comment as his order to close saloons at midnight, ane the result of the order is watched by cities all over the coun- try with much interest. We fear that the Mayor has never experienced the sensation of being drunk after midnight. There is no more comparison between an ordinary after- noon or evening drunk and a drank after midnight, than there is between liver and quail on toast. That's what a drunkard of over thirty years standing tells us. Hesays that an afternoon or evening drunk is very tame, because the drunken man is constant- ly haunted by a fear that he will mect some- body who knows him and who is sober. But after midnight he can stagger gbout and be monarch of all he surveys. After mid- night he disturbs nobody but the policemen ana nightwatchmen, and he can whoop it upto his hearts content. If he feels that he can enjoy himself by throwing a beer keg through a saloon window, a crowd does not gather to molest him and make him afraid. The Mayor has evidently not taken into consideration the enjoyment he is cutting off. And by his order to close at midnight, the Mayor has destroyed entire- ly the effect of the national hymn, entitled, ‘‘We wont go home till morning.” What party of convivial gentlemen couldhave the heart to sing the old song, around the festive board, when they knew that as soon as the hands of the clock pointed to twelve they would be bounced from the saloon, and become wanderers on the face of the earth, with no friendly bar at which they could slake their thirst. Thus, the old song is wiped from the statute books, as it were, by astroke of the Mayor's pen. With this midnight closing order in force, men have got to commence several hours earlier to get drunk, if they expect to ac- complish the task before midnight, and the Mayor must know what a hardship this ‘will be, and how difficult it is to get unk in the limited time allotted, where the beer lasses are so small, and there is ao much oam in them. The Mayor will find, when it is everlast- ingly too late, that some of his constituents will be compelled to go home comparatively sober, at twelve o'clock, however la they may try to get drunk by the official sche- dule time. The spectacle of men going home sober, at 12 o’clock, who have always gone home drunk a few hours later, ought to melt the heart of even a Mayor. Such a state of disgusting sobriety will cause strong drunkards to weep when they realize their humiliating position, What excuse can a man, who has been in the habit of going home drunk, along in the morning hours, makes to his wife when he comes home at such an early hour only half full? He can lay it to the Mayor, of course, buta wife who has become accustomed to such a state of things, will be apt to look upon the ex- cuse as too thin, and will ask ths hus- band why he didn’t commence to get drunk eatlier so as to have the feat seo mplished at the hour provided by law. Women do not stop to reason in such cases. They can not realize that it takes time to change the combination of the drunkard’s system, 0 that it will get in its work three Lours earlier than it has been set to operate for 60 many years. This order of the Mayor will prove a great hardship to many hard- working wowen, They have got in the habit of sleeping early in the night and waking up athree o’clock in the morning to help their husbands in the house and to bed. This order will compel them to get up at twelve o'clock, and thus they will be so broken in their rest that the labor of the next day, by which they support the family and furnish money for the husbands to get drank, will be harder than ever. It is plain that the Mayor never was a woman, or he would know better than to disarrange domestic affairs in sucha manner. There is no doubt the Mayor has meant well by his order, but it is going to make trouble.’ —_— _-_—— + Petrified Human Head. Workmen are excavating near Keesville for improvements on the New York, Pen- nsylvania and Ohio Railroad. A few days ago Martin McKay was passing by the work just as one of the laborers threw a shoveltul of earth and stones out of the excavation, from a depth of six feet. The peculiar shape of one of the stones attract- ed his attention, and he picked it up. It proved to be an unmistakeable petrifaction of a human head, that of « child, probably a year old. The forehead, cheeks, and nose are full, well shaped. One ear is intact, but a part of the other is broken off. The mouth, chin, aud neck are all perfect and natural. While the face and top of the head are well preserved, the back of the head is nearly all gone. Mr. McKay believes the curious relic to be prehistoric. ~——— « Sir Henry Thompson, the London sur- geon, recognizes in fish a combination of all the elements of food that the human body requires in almost every phase of life, more especially by those who follow sedentary employment. To women he considers fish to be an invaluable article of diet, but he scouts as acomplete fallacy the notion that fish eating increases the brain power. ‘‘The only action fish had on the brain was to put @ man’s body into proper relations with the work he had to do.” EE oO — Barnum says that he lost $130,000 in his vain attempt to bring two Siamese white elephants to America.
