A correspondent in Canton lias

justly jubilant over the future

The cause of the quarrel be
tween Cox and Alston is stated by
a member of the coroner's jury as j
follows: Mr. Wallers had been
in correspondence with (ieneral
Gordon about the purelease of
Ids portion of the lease. Col. Al

Forsyth has suffered a great
deal since the war from burglars
but the way of the trasgressor is
hard, and at last the criminals
are beginning to receive the re
ward of then* misdeeds. Three
have been lately caught, convict
ed and sentenced, and last week
one of them. Lorenzo Littlejohn,
colored, who robbed a store there
on Christmas last, was sentenced
to the penitentiary for twelve
years. The A/fverttner says this
is a terrible punishment, hut il
was riehlv deserved.

Terrible prairie Ures recently
occurred iu and Cloud
counties, Kansas, extending over
an area of ten miles long and

homes were consumed, and large
quantities of grain, farm iinple

refuge in dugouts and under
ground habitations. Hut one life j
is reported lost—Mrs. Brtrwerson 1

••As an evidence that small
farms well cultivated are the
most profitable, we have only to
compare France with England.
The former, since her war with
Prussia, lias adopted the policy
of dividing her lauds into small
tracts and cultivating thoroughly.
The result is that her people
have grown rich, besides paying
an enormous war debt, and to
day her wheat product exceeds
that of the I’nitod States hy over
n million of bushels; and all other
agricultural productions stand in
nearly the same proportion.
England on the contrary has
pursued her old policy of thirty
thousands nabobs owning all the
lands in England proper, and
like our own country growing
poorer and poorer each succeed

A Whale Towed Into Port Royal.
We learn that the pilot boat
■Surprise towed a large dead whale
into Port Royal on Friday last.
The Surprise spoke the crew of a
whaling schooner having this
monster of the deep in tow. and
as night was coming on and the
schooner was making but little
headway, the pilot boat relieved
her and brought the whale into
the port named. The schooner
reported a school of whales off
Port Royal, which was subse
quently seen by the pil<B boat,
and the supposition is that there
is some bay in the vicinity of the
harbor sought by them during
the month of March—the breed
ing season. The whale referred
to will, we understand, yield
from 800 to 000 barrels of oil, and
about 1,000 or 1,200 pounds of
bone. —Sd i;auim/i .Ye >rx.
The Zulus.
From recent publications upon
Zulu land, brought out by the
British disaster there, il appears
that the Zulus are by far the
most warlike tribe in South Afri
j on. Their conquests have been
extended further than those of
\ any other, and but for the arms
and organization of the white
I man, it is believed t hat they
would have reached the walls of
| Cape Town as conquerors before
this. They are described as enor
; raous eaters of meat when food is
plentiful, but as being capable of
! enduring famine for a long time
, when if is scanty. The most lion
i orable position in Zulu land is
that of soldier, and boys are
trained for military service ai an
early age. Wives are held as
property, and valuable property,
for the reason that the greatest
reward of a soldier is to receive a
present of a wife. The Zulu chiefs
are ignorant of anything except
cattle and the extension of terri
tory, and their conversation is
devoted to these subjects. They
have however, a Quaker habit of
[ remaining silent for hours. This
I silence is held to give them dig
nity, but it is embarrassing to the
inteviower. The curious fact is
developed that these ignorant
warlike Bushmen possess no lit
tie artistic skill. Scenes of the
chase and of native costume are j
found portrayed upon the rough !
rocks with vigor, and with a few l
colors of such permanent eharac
ter that they appear as fresh as
if executed recently. The ani
mills, and figures ol the hunters
are characteristically rendered in
these pictures, ami delineation
ol* the chase is made with spirit.
It is noted, however, as singular
that showing such art in capacity
and instinct, the Zulus are inca
liable of attempting tlie erection
of any description of house, but
shelter themselves in caverns,
rocky niches, lmsh coverings and
tlie like. The English have con
siderable respect for the Zulus,
now that they show such fighting
capacity, and no doubt books up
on Zulu land will take the place
this season that Stanley's book
upon interior Africa did last.
A Tiger Hunt.
f IVtilV TIMES WITH TWO TIOKHS
WHICH ESCAPED FROM TIIKIK
CAGES.
Un Monday, January *>, tvo
tigers belonging to the ex King
of Undo, whose house i- on the
left hank of the Hooghly, escaped
from their cage, a keeper having
incautiously left the door of their
cage open when cleaning it.
One was shortly after killed in
th ■ King's grounds by a Superin
tendent of Police. The other
swam across the river and land
ed near tho ghat in the Botanical
Gardens. Shortly after landing
lie knocked down and mauled Mr.
Bienuan, one of the European as
sistants. Mr. Scott and he had
after first seeing the tiger, gone
into a house, but came out again
to look for the brute, their atten
tion being momentarily disturb
cd by the chattering of a monkey
—an unusual sound in the Botan
ical Gardens. The brute seized
his opportunity, and springing
past a native, who was in front
of the two gentlemen, knocked
dowa one; lie then immediately
returned to his lair, and remain
ed in the gardens all day. Owing
to the presence of Stripes in the
gardens, various picnic parties
had to return without landing,
though one party foolishly insist
ed on landing notwithstanding
contrary orders, but was soon
obliged to beat a retreat. To
ward nightfall the brute was
heard giving tongue near the ban
van tree, and shortly before day
break it killed two bullocks in a
small clearing a short distance
to the north of the tree. The bul
locks were tied up in a shed : one
it dragged outside, and ate one
hind quarter, the other it left
dead inside. Early on T uesday
morning some native shikaris
were in the garden trying to
stalk Stripes, one of them, while
peering into a small brake, was
severely handled, and is not ex
peeled to recover. During the
day these shikaris were reinforc
ed by some gentlemen from Cal
futta;but their efforts to get
near Stripes were unavailing, and
they retired about 4 o’clock and
left the grounds. In the after
noon a machan was erected in
the jungle to the north of the
gardens, near the scene of the
kill, from the top of which the
shikaris might have an oppoi tu
nity of spotting Stripes, should he
return to the scene of his feast
the night before. To make mat
tors doubly sure an awning was
improvised on the roof of a small
pucka house not far from the kill,
and a live bullock was securely
tied to a tree a few yards distant
from the house, within full view
of the shikaris on the roof, some
plantain trees being cut away to
give better aim. A speculation
had risen as to whether Stripes
would prefer dead meat to live.
In the course of the night the
question was set at rest. Shortly
after six four gentlemen proceed
ed from Bishop’s College to the
scene of the kill,and placed them
selves in positions for a good
shot—two on the machan two on
the top of the pucka house. It
was then discovered that shoot
ing could not be depended on
without something to eat gone of
the party immediately went oil
for materials for food and drink,
and as he was returning with a
ehatikiderdistinctly heard Stripes
not far oil', lie hastened on
with the food, which was soon
dispatched inside the pucka house
tables and chairs being dispens
ed with. Posts were again taken
up, and -mon after the brute was
again heard giving tongue, as he
was prowling about in scroll of
food ; this-went on for about an
hour, the bullock near the house
showing evident signs of intense
alarm, though perfectly silent.
For half an hour after this the
stillness of a clear moonlight
night remained perfectly unbro
ken ; all eyes were on the stretch
when suddenly, with a magnifi
cent bound a line full-grown tiger
was on the bullock. Instantly a
shot was fired, the brute doubled
up. and tlie bullock bolted off at
full speed; another shot was now
tired, and Stripes evidently re
eeived this too, for he sprung
aside into the jungle about twen
ty paces, moaned and all was still.
Tlie shikaris being uncertain
whether Stripes was really dead
determined to spend the rest of
the night where they were, it not
being considered safe in the un
certain light of the moon to ven
ture in search of him, beaters be
ing at a discount. Soon after
some chaukidars arrived with
beaters and passed close to where
Stripes was last seen; the men on
the machan then came down and
spent the rest of the night on the
more comfortable roof of the
puka house, belonging to a cow
keeper. As soon as it was light
all hastened down to have a look
and there sure enough was Stripes
a magnificent animal, lying on
his right side quite dead. One
shot had caught him on the left
shoulder, the other in the right
(lank. The honor of this kill
rests with Mr. Wace.of Howrah.—
('nh'vtia Englishman.
