ADVICE FROM CETEWAYO.

Cetcwayo seems to be one of those peculiar individuals who can manage other people's affairs much better than their own. Writing to the Basutos, " A'Vhat are you, Basutos," he asks in scorn, "to even imagine that you can light against the English? You know that wo Zulus aro under the feet of tho English, and we are your superiors. If you think that au army was sent against you, and that you beat it, and that you can do anything against tlie English, go on in your stupid and dreamy way of talking, and you will be sorry for it. If you persevere in your foolish way you will perish suddenly like a vessel on "the sea that is suddenly tilled with water and is no more. AVhat aro you '? If you got all tho white people of this country, English, Boers, and also the black people, to help you, what could you do against the tho English ? You could do nothing ; you are simply like a fly on tho nose of a strong man ; you can be blushed away during Iho

wink of tho eye and be no more. Listen to me ; stop this foolishness of yours, any pay homage to the English nation. Listen to mo. lam among the English people, and know them. Do you think that even against the Zulus any English soldiers were sent ? No 1 It was as if one man was sent against the Zulus to pull them by the car and advise them. If the English had sent an army no one would now be living in Zululand. They only sent a few men to "advise the Zulus in kindness. If you now despise my words, jump down the precipice. I swear to you that you are acting as children ; there is no black race that can do anything against the English. The black king and people that listen to the English and talk nicely with them are the only ones that will die _ from old age and save* their country." This is a model of vigorous advice, and yet Cetewayo has just been stiffening his back against tho very power he appeared to fear so much.
