Most people are familiar with the history of whose downfall is a matter of only recent Tchaka kimbell, the Bonaparte of South Africa, history. A fine man in many ways, a great who, starting as the chief of one of the mallar savage king, generous, hancurible in, his deal- members of a loose confadaration of villages, ings with white men, and to his own people ended as the despat of the whole of Zulu-because by cruelly alone they could be ruled, land, Absoluta i obedience was tbo keyar to Lobengula deserved a better fate. Tholm ins of his system. enforced Spartan was dying of dropsy when fast sten by a white of course, no actual proof of his death, but ha rigidity of discipline, and, for one time. at least; he made the bragging, losing Zulu man, and he could not well hava lain hidden into a fine watriot, who might eventually have been, able to stand against the Basuto, then, as new, the premier race of South Africa Bui Tchaka's system, relaxed at his death, went to pieces entirely on the downfall of Celeway and to-day Cetewayo's own 500 Dinizulu, is merely the dissolute beadman of a dissolute people, whose virtues have very little existence save in the imagination of the novelist; whose physical stature does pot stand for strength and sodurance; and whose loud boasting does not spring from courage. The Zulu of the present day could probably be a very troublesome enemy-almost any save can be; but, compared with his father or grandfather, he is a very poor creature, just bis nominal: chief, Dinicaly, is a terribly ¿degenerate representative of the breed which
produced Tchaka and Celewayo.
Tchaks, however, was not the only member of his fimily who founded a new kingdom; for is seems tolerably certain that the three other great Zula chiefi, M.Zilakatze, who led the Matabele northwards, und N'Yamandi and M' Zila, who successively tuled's ver the MaTchan. aha, now miscated the Shauganny, were his brothers. The nativo is always vague about relationships, even in his own generation: and he was the word "brother"indiscriminately to indicate any close blood connection, but all the old men who remember these famous warriors. agree that they were the sons of one father by three different wives, N'Yamandi and M'Zila balog full brothers. Moreover, there was a great similarity in their appearance, the for man of the older generation, as well as their descendants, all being enormously stop,
Native history is distressingly vagón, even the history of three-quarters of a century ago, but it would seem that fit some time Tchaka's loyally; but after a while, p ubably because he brothers acted as his generals, serving him became jealous of their popularity, he began to quarrel with them, with the result that N3Yamandi and M.Zila deserted with a large band of their followers, and marched up the coast, across the Limpopo, into what is now the Mozambique territory, a huge stretch of wonderfully fertile jungle country, then in 'habited by the M'Hiengwi, whò were quickly reduced to vassalage, whilst the Portuguese, tha nominal ruters of the land, were driven back to the sea coast, where for the next sixty
