The Zulu Account of the Prince oh mperial’s Death.. DRIGADE-GENERAL KEveLyn We
op, whe
accompanied the ex-Empress Eugenie to Zululand, has sent te the papers a des-
eription of the death of ihe P rince Lu:perial coljected from independent narratives of eighteen of the Zulus whe participated in the attackon the Prince’s party and showing that the Zulu party numbered 40, twelve of whom followed the Prince and. 8 bei ing im- mediately concerned in death. The Aulus having near surrounded the Prince's party and rushed them as they were mounting. The Prince, not having
mounting, ran alongside his

horse until it broke away. The Prince followed the herse into the donga, until, being closely pressed by his pursuers, glie turned upon them in the werds of the
Zulus ‘like a lion at bay.” Being struck by an assegai inside the left shoulder, he rushed at the nearest opponent, whe fied. Another Zulu then fired at the Prince when only 10 yards from him. ~The Prince fired his pistel, and faced his sapidly increasing foes until menaced frem his right and rear, and struck by another assegai he regained the level on which he had first stocd in the donga where be was speedily surrounded. He seized an assegai which had been thrown at him—in - strug- gling with his terrified herse his sword had fallen from his scabbard—-and thus defend-
ed himself against 7 er 8 Zulus, who, state that they did not dare to close im upon hin until he sank exhausted upon his hip. The above facts were elicited from the Zulus, who were examined separately on the scene of the attack. his is the first correct des- cription of the affair yet published.

Montreal’s Tunnel.
The interest in the tunnel under the river is increasing now that it is pretiy generally believed that the result of the survey being satisfactory, as it is expected it will, the work will be undertaken in earnest. A number of the promoters of the company, engineers, ete., visited the eae side at an hour this fore- nev Here the chief dithculty 1s said to lie in the sandy nature of the soil on the bank and for some distance out in the rwer bottem. The actual survey with the object of grriving at definite plans, esti- mates, ete., will begin on Monday under the direction of Mr. S! hanly. ‘The prob- able place of entrance un the Hochelaga side will be epposite Morrew street, and the exit will, as already stated, be at some point between Isle Ronde and Lon- gieuil wharf. <A tunngl coming out at the points nained will, » is thought, pass through the greatest quantity of rock, or rather stone and hard clay, rsh are the most practicable to work, other species of earth causing constant secur by vaying in, and entailing a larger outlay to carry out. In conversation “with Mayor Prefontaine, our reperter learned that the surveys would take about two weeks to coinpiete. In the meantime the company is being formed, and on the completion of the survey the report will be inade to the Government, when preliminaries will be settled and the tunne! pushed forward with all possible despatch. Mayor Pre- fontaine, himself a promoter of the scheme, entertains no apprehension as to ithe success of the undertaki ing and lead- ing citizens of Hochelaga consider it one lof the best enterprises ever started in | their midst.- ~Montreal W itivess. | Chinese Immigration to British Columbia—Four Hundred Ar-

Yesterday afternoon the British bark |Strathern, Capt Anderson, whose arrival) ‘from Hong Kong, w.ti 473 Chinamer on | beard, we briefly announced in-our last, ‘was towed alongside Messrs. Janion & Co.’s / 'wharf by the steamer Etta White. About | six o'clock, the wharf having been cleared ‘of the public, with the exception of the ‘enstoms and police officers and the news- * paper men, the process of discharging the live freight commenced. The Chinanen were landed in batches of six, each bringing jbundles of heterogeneous “iktas” which | were opened and closzly scrutinized by the ee house autherities. In some tances seizures of small lots of articies, ae as tobacco, tea, new Chinese shoes, and new clothing were made, but, as a ‘rule, John’s baggage was limited to the scanty outiit peculiar to travelling celestials. The capture of new shoes was “principally confined to those who were first to land, because ,those who remained on board

The colored laundresses of Atlanta, Ga., went on a strike last week. A despatch says: —‘* Netice of a washerwoman’s meet- ing was given in ail the colored churches on Sunday. Meetings were held at several of the colored ch urches on Sunday afternoon, and were attended by 300 or 400 women; they were conducted quietly, and notice riven of an advance in prices for wash- ing. laiafew cases the white people have alre: ad, acceeded to the demand. There are no steam laundries in Atlanta, and the washing of the entire city is done by about 700 colored women. Meetings are heid daily.

Daniel Webster had an anecdote ef old Father Searl, the minister of his beyhood, which is too goed to be lost. It was cus- tomary then to wear buckskin breeches in esol weather. One Sunday morning in autumn, Father Sear! brought his breeches down from the garret, but the wasps had taken possession during the summer, and were haying a nice time of itin them. By dint of effort he got out the intruders and dressed fer meeting. But while reading the Scripture to the congregation, he felt a dagger from one of the small-waisted fel- lows, and jum ped around the pulpit slap- ping his thighs. But the more he slapped and danced, the more they stung.’ The people thought him crazy, but he explained the matter by saying : ‘‘ Brethren, don’t be alarmed ; the word of the Lord is in my mouth but the devil is im my breeches !” Webster always told it with great glee to the ministers.
Qvorinc. ScRiPTURE LN #AVOR OF WIFE seavinc.—John Cainbridge, of London east, when brought befere Squire Ander- son, for wife beating, admitted the charge, but claimed he had a right te do so on the ground that the Saviour had ccnstitnted than head of the household, as He was head of the Church. The squire asked if he could point out a single instance in Scripture where’ any disebe -dicnt member of the Church had been kicked and pound- edas he had maltreated aud abused: his wife. The defendant, who, by the way, was formerly a member of the sect known as the Latter Day Saints, was consider- ably taken back at the query propounded by the Squire, and in order that he might bring authorities to satisfy the court that he was privileged to do as he pleased with the ‘‘ weaker vessel ” he demanded an en- largement of the case, The squire granted the request.
