ORIGIN OF THE ZULU WAR.
The following explanation of the origin of the Zulu war is given by ' Truth' : "In a row, chercez lafemme, Oetewayo loved Arabella, the barmaid of a missionary who sold brandy at his store. Cetewayo's intentions were honorable, and he wished to marry Arabella. Nor was that maiden loth to exchange the bar for a savage palace. But Cetewayo's respected parents objected to the match, and the missionary' was afraid that if he consented to the marriage his license to sell liquor would be taken away. On coming to tho throne Cctewayo banished the missionary, and showed himself by no means a friend to rum-spiling missionary. Sir JBar+le Frere, however, favors these gentry. Thus, thanks to Arabella, and to a missionary waning to make money by the sale of spirits, we were lander] in the Zulu war."
