Tor*ured by the Zulus. A Frenchman belonging to the British urniv in South Africa was captured by the Zulus, but afterward made his escape, rile Store of Iiis >iilv?>nliiri>v fol<t in <1 London letter, is :is follows: After ail our mounted men had been put to rout ?>n the saiii day. Co'. Went hurley's men were completely hemmed in. and fought with undaunted bravery to the last man. Only one man escaped death?a Frenchman named ('.randier. The Zulus, who were concerting an attack the next day on Kambula. would not kill Grandier, but made him a prisoner, to be brought before Cetywayo to be dealt with by him. lie was kept a prisoner on this mountain until the impi returned back to it again after attacking Kambula Hill. \V hen he was brought before Cetywayo the latter questioned him seriously concerning this column. He was asked by the king if he had had enough of it. Cetywayo thinking at this time that the impi he sent to attack this column had completely annihilated us; hut never was lie more chagrined than when, in t lin oof r\f niiocfinnimr tllP Frenchman, the tidings of the grand defeat of Ids host warriors were related to him. The Frenchman says that Cetywayo nearly cried on hearing such unexpected news, and he got greatly enraged on hearing that Umbelini was killed. The king further questioned him as to the actual strength of our column, to which the Frenchman replied that we were near 3,000 strong, and could defy the whole Zulu army. Cetyv.ayo gave him to understand that he knew all about the reinforcements coming out by showing him a lot of papers. The king also told him that the Dutch and Zulus were going to combine, and, after killing all the English, he would turn round and kill all the Dutch and have all the country to himself. This Frenchman says that a good many Zulus at the king's kraal can read and speak .1 1... ,? ..., iM-iiri man in* van, ui.u avcounts for their information with regard to the reinforcements coming here. But it is a very strange thing how Cetywayo can get possession of those papers. I think some underhand work must be going on somewhere. It would be a good job if the party were found out and made an example of. Cetywayo kept his prisoner for eight or ten days, and every night he was stripped naked and both his hands and feet were bound together. In the morning all the women and a few men would come and give him some severe blows to make him rise up, after being out in the cold all night and quite numbed from its effects. The women used to pull small portions of hair at a time out of his head and whiskers, causing him great pain, the men pointing their assegais and going through the form of how they shouldUhill him. At length the time arrived for Cety wayo to decide what lie should do with him, and. forming a ring, with the prisoner in the center, they told him that he should be sent under an escort of women to ITnbelini's party with full instructions how they should kill him and avenge the death of Umbelini, at the same time showing him how they * would commence killing him by cutting small pieces off his legs and arms, and thence continue till the whole body was sacrificed in the same manner. The escort from there proceeded with their prisoner for Umbelini's pariy, and when they got a good many miles on their journey the Frenchman feigned being tired and wanting to sleep, and the escort complied with his wishes. One of the escort having fallen asleep by his side and the other having walked a short distance away, the prisoner availed himself of an assegai belonging to the Zulu sleeninir alongside of him. and driving it through him staked him to the ground. The other Zulu, perceiving his eompauion laid low, suddenly took to his heels and ran for his life for J*air the same fate should befall him. * Grandier did not know what place he was in or what direction to follow, except by the rising of the moon and sun. Going hv these two guides, he made for the direction of the Zlobano mountain to the best of his ideas, with the intention of, perhaps, getting any sort of covering for his body which might have been left there after the fight, and thence make the best of his way to imneberg. liut the poor fellow lost his waj after leaving the Zlobani mountain until picked up in a miserable condition by our mounted men. tps and Downs of New York Life. A New York correspondent tells this touching story: Going into a little milk and butter shop the writer purchased some cream, and finding it so good and the old g atleman who attended tinplace so polite she became a regular customer of the old man and sent him a number of others. The recital proceeds: ] One day we fell into a conversation and he said, " I noticed your name in sending home some Xhings the other day; pray tell me are *11 any relation to DaMr. who kept the young ladies boarding school at Flushing some years aro?'' I replied that the gentleman he spoke of was my father, lie looked at me a moment and then, clearing his throat, said: "My daughter went to your father's school for a number of j vat j i jwu nvic tuu jwuii^ then to remember her." "You don't mean to say that you are the father of ?" said I, mentioning the name of the most popular girl in the school. " Yes, I am her father. She's dead now," continued he, swallowing a lump in his throat. " She married and died a short time after. There have been a great many changes since those days. I sup post' uuu you wouiu namly Know me. I did not recognize him at once, but I soon saw tliat the face was the same, only the glossy black beard and hair were streaked with gray, the htight eyes had grown dim and the well-knit, prosperouslooking figure had bent beneath the load of years and trouble. When I first knew this man he was one of the most prosperous merchants in New York?a silk importer?and lived in fine style up town. A rascally confidential clerk and hard times had made way with all his money, and now in his old days he deals out butter and eggs behind a counter on Third avenue. Society Lunches. The fashionable lunch in New York has now developed into something reaily pretentious. Its informality and simplicity have vanished, and instead we twi.ir r\f *i tvtiii.fit liill of f-irvi nrintvi] nn on gold colored satin, with blue letters and silver ornamentation, and setting lorth twenty courses. These courses comprise every delicacy, and are accompanied with no less than seven kinds of wine. The object of the lunch seems to be to set forth a succession of rare, varied and beautiful china, glass and silver, which displays the taste, knowledge and wealth of the hostess. Old India ware is made to follow Sevres, erys tnl and silver are sandwiched between decorat'd ilaviland and Limoge, Old Derby, Dresden, Majolica and Harlequin sets of china till in and afford a chance for greater rarities. Then the ladies discourse, over this tine array, upon pictures, artistic needlework, literature, music, education, science, ceramics and the poor and lowly of human kind, of course. They never indulge in gossip?that is " hardly ever"?and never talk of dress?that is at the lunch?and absolutely never talk of and so do not quarrel about religious opinions. In faet everything is lovely, and they go home in carriages. JEROME PARK. An Account nml Ilmrriptlon of the Aiucricnn Jockey Club's (.round* In New York. It will l?t' sonic time before horseraring in America attracts the attention or assumes the importance that it has done in England. Not yet will the lawgivers of the nation in Congress assem bled follow the example oi the l'-tiiclisli Lords and Commons, and dissolve their august assemblage for the purpose of hastening to the race-track on an American " Derby day."' Nevertheless, racing is fast becoming a national sport with us, possessing more interest year by year, and being more generally attractive to all classes of pleasure-seekers. In Jcrome Park we have an embryo Epsom DownsrRnd although its visitors maybe counted by hundreds when compared to the great throngs that accumulate on the English race-courses, it is all the same a center of fashionable interest, and an institution that lnis done much toward affording amusement. Jerome Park was named in honor of the public-spirited millionaire who suggested the idea, bought the property, made the improvements, built the course, and erected the buildings at his own expense. This gentleman?Mr. Leonard W.Jerome?was always fond of horses, and his stables were quoted far and near. In the vicinity of the pleasant village of West Farms, Westchester county, nestling in the beautiful Ilarlem valley, he found a farm known thereabouts as Bathgate, the approaches 10 which run uuuugii h singuiany ruman tic and picturesque country, guarded by bold bluffs, made beautiful by the winding river, and bound to the metropolis by the iron bands of railways, dotted with trees, and commanding a large expanse of view. Having seen and fancied it lie bought it. and in addition the adjoining two thousand acres that sweep further up the country, on whose hither boundary lies the Fifth Avenue? Boulevard, and along whose side line races the swift Ilarlem engine. The property once secured, Mr. Jerome broached to a few friends the idea of establishing an American Jockey Club, under whose direction annual races should be held, f ir the proper conduct and honorable supervision of which the club should be held responsible. Very quietly and with the knowledge of a very few people Mr. Jerome proceeded with the work. He sent for Mr. Wheatley, well known throughout the country as a man of large experience and sound judgment in horse matters, and with him prepared a design for the course. The result was such as might have inspired nvtinrtc in f)tn hucinoc^ t\f hmrlcnnnn rroi* doning with envy. It is centrally located, roads from many points of the compiiss tend directly toward it, the ears steam by it, and teams are driven there daily from all parts of the surrounding country. The course, made expressly and entirely for running, is novel in design, and necessarily so on account of the lay of the land, ft has a lon?* stretch, with a double curve like an elongated figure H. It lies about a quarter of a 1 mile from the main road, the principal i entrance i eing on a new avenue, now made 100 feet in width from the Central bridge over the Harlem river. The grand stand is on the east side of the course, and is 450 feet in length by forty-five feet in width, with two tiers 1 or galleries of seats, and will accommo- : date 8,000 persons. It is divided into three sections, the center one of which ; is exclusively for the members of the 1 club and their families; the other sec- : lions are for the public. The front facing the track presents an open colonnade. ! two stories high, supported by orna- ' mental iron columns, surmounted by a cornice and pediments on the center and each end, presenting a very airy and unique appearance. The entrance to the stand is on tho east front, and aeees* is obtained to the galleries by wide, o.-isy ; and spacious staircases. On the livs't lloov are the ticket-oftiees and refresh- 1 ment-rooms, containing every convenience for the comfort of visitors. The ; galleries are fitted up with comfortable seats, from all of which a perfect view of the course and surrounding grounds is : obtained. Immediately opposite the stand, on the bluff above-mentioned, are 1 the club grounds, on which are the club- 1 house and dmer buildings for the exclusive use of the members of the club, including an observatory some fifty feet in height, from which a fine view of the surrounding country can he obtained. The stands for judges, timekeepers and 1 starters, and for the accommodation and convenience of the members of the press, ire in keeping with the style of the grand stand. At the north of and adjoining tins latter structure is an o.ien stand to accommodate 2,500persons, and also several private boxes, naving a perfect view of the home-stretch. Further up the valley, to the north and in view of the stand, are located the stahles which are built in detached groups, each stable containing ten stalls of twelve by sixteen feet each, and surrounded by sheds ten feet in width: and kitchens for the trainers and others. Adjoining the stables is a half-mile exercising track. The course is surrounded by an open picket fence ten feet high. The ticket-offices are situated at convenient places on the main avenue and road, affording due facilities to the public. The club-house faces the track, and is supplemented by a large stand, which affords ample accommodation to such of the members as prefer it. Taken altogether, the arrangements are most T?i?Am flin elnnnlnnr ?movt_ merits for the hostlers and the comfortable stables for the horses up to the preparations made for the club and the public. Jerome Park may well challenge comparison with any of the great racecourses of England and Europe. The stables are built in the most careful and substantial manner. They are s< ven in number, four being on the northwest side and three on the north side of the track. They have been constructed with due attention to equine comfort and convenience, and nothing in the way of improvement has been spared. The sleeping apartments for the attendants and grooms are partitioned off from the stables, and the kitchens are built in between and at the rear of the main build- I ings. The whole has a plain but substantial board fence running alone its front side, for the purpose of preventing visitors from annoying the horses. Jerome Park was opened on Tuesday, September 25, 1866, and the "inauguration" meeting extended over the 25th, 26th. 27th and 29th. The racing was renewed on October 1. Tliere was an immense attendance on the opening day. The great race was called the inauguration race?four-mile heats, for all ages. Three years, 90 pounds; 4 years, 101 pounds; 5 years and upward, 114 pounds. The race resulted as follows: Kentucky, 1 1; Fleetwing, 3 2; Onward, 2 3; Idlewood, distanced. Asteroid, considered to be Kentucky's great rival, had met with an accident, and was unable to start. Fortunately for Mr. Jerome's novel i enterprise, the weather was line. This I 1 Ll.Jl.. 1 1 1. . - 1 unuuuoieuiy u:m mucu 10 (to wiui ine crowds that pressed to the scene, and there was another feature which did much toward stamping the undertaking with success. This was the encouragement given to the meeting by the ladies of New York city. Hitherto, for obvious ro:isons, it had not been the custom for ladies to attend the races in any large numbers. The police regulations had not been good, and were not enforced: the crowds on the race-courses were always'more'or less rough and | reckless, and no comfort or pleasure or.ld ho derived which in (lie least omponsated for tlio risks run in getting .t?w1 /inmSnrr llMfl' I Af'l*. i Jerome's leadership the elub had nnu'e racing-comfortable and respectable, and the presence of the ladies of New York city gave it the indorsement necessary to make it a popular ami reputable recreation. Never before was there a greater array of feminine beauty lent to the inauguration of what must always be considered a peculiarly male amusement. One feature that marked inauguration day at Jerome Park was the presence of General Grant, then commander-in-chief of the army, who came on from Washington expressly to attend the meeting; another the presence of the great tragedienne Ristori. The races at Jerome Park thus brilliantly inaugurated have since become a most popular institution, attended by the beauty, talent and wealth of our city.?Harper's Weekly. Waking Shingles in a Cypress Swamp. The following extract, showing how shingles are made in a Delaware cypress swauip, is from an article by Howard 1'yle in Harper's Mayazinc: As we plunged deeper into the swamp the trees increased in size. Ilerc ana there a black pool of water lay gleaming sullenly, hiding, its it were, among a thick growth of rank ferns and venomouslooking flowers. Vine-covered cypresses rose high aloft, the inevitable streamers of gray moss hanging motionlessly pendent. The noise of the shingle-cutters sounded ever more clearly, like the rapping of a gigantic woodpecker?4' tap. tap, tap; tap, tap, tap "?as they chopped out the shingles, the sound of the voices of the inviiible workmen and an occasional burst of laughter echoing mysteriously in the gloomy and otherwise unbroken solitude; and so we came upon the shingle center. The workmen had just excavated a i 1 f??. Jog, me nun or root pan munu ??< ? inelies of llio surface of the ground, the stem at the farther end some two or three feet below. At about twenty feet distance from the butt a young man was busy sawing through the log. His checks were hollow, his features angular, a general cadaverous look betokening chills and fever. The saw had a handleonly at one end, like the instrument used for eutting ice. The sharp end struck deeply into the giound at every movement, but was not- dulled, because of the entire freedom from grit of the soil, composed as it is of decayed bark and vegetation. We watched with interest, taking a sketch in the meantime, until tin? log was sawed through. It now made a section about twenty feet long, and comparatively easy to handle. The gang, composed of half a dozen hands, now set to work to raise it from its resting-place, with iong levers of stout saplings, the process accompanied with many grunts' and oaths. It was a picturesque sight? the men in their red and blue shirts straining and tugging at the giant log that lay in its long, grave-like cavity. At length it starts at one end with a sucking noise as it leaves its oozy bed, is gradually raised to the surface, and is finally rolled bodily out of its excavation to the fresh air, where it lies like some newly disinterred antediluvian monster, huge, black and slimy. "A purty good log," says one of the men, as he draws the sleeve of his red shirt across his sweat-beaded brow. When the log is thus finally raised it is sawed into sections each about two feet in length; these are then split down to the requisite thickness for shingles. The logs are first discovered by means of a sharp iron stake, which is thrust into the ground wherever a slight moundlike elevation betokens the probable presence of a log or logs beneath. If the noint of the st..ke strikes the hard sur face of wood instead of sinking easily into the morass, the soil is cleared awut, ind a square foot of the stump exposed. The practiced eye of the shingle man can tell at once whether the log is useful, the requisites for use being straight grain throughout, with no knots, soundness and no decay. If a sound, good log, it. is then uncovered, sawed through and raised. When the log was completely raised, our guide resumed his work, splitting the sawed sections into shingles. Taking aseat on one of the dry est of the fallen logs, he took a large " chunk" upright between his knees. lie used a broad knife-blade, with a long wooden handle, which he placed on the log, driving it into the wood with a heavy hard-wood mallet such as is used by sculptors and stone-carvers. At a little distance from him a shaggy-looking fellow with a red shirt and patched trowsors was sitting ;it a shingle horse, shaving tne split slabs of wood smooth and tapering. Heside him lay a pile of elean, crisp-looking shavings, emitting that odor peculiar to well-seasoned cypress. The horse used is the ordinary cooper's horse, and needs no special description. From this pointthe shingles are carried to the roadside, to be handy for transportation. A Coachman's Conqne t. Murray Hill society has lately been agitated over a scandal in which the inevitable coachman again figures and which has thrown a shadow over one of the most prominent and highly respectable families of that fashionable locality. In this instance the young lady is hoth I beautiful and highly accomplished, and I her lover, the coachman, is young and irnixl lnnlcinf. but vcrv illiterate. It is I said to hi* a case of love at first sight. Me that as it may, the couple carried on their courtship so ardently and boldly that eventually one of the gentleman's neighbors dropped him a note through tlnMiiail, asking him if he knew of the conduct of his daughter. The father was astounded upon learning of the affair and at once called his daughter to an account. She ackno wledged that she knew the coachman and had spoken to him on several oec:isions, but this was >il IT<>r cYnln.nn.tinn deceived him So thoroughly that he ceased to watcli her movements for a time. Subsequently, however, he found among his daughter's effects, during her temporary absence from her home, several letters from the love-smitten Jehu, which still further opened his eyes and confirmed all that had been written concerning the couple by his friend. The result was a stormy interview, during which the young lady's mother was so affected that she is said to have fainted. Soon after this, and despite the vigilance of the parents of the young lady, she clandestinely met her lover, and arrangements were perfected for their marriage, which were frustrated by the appearance on the scene of the father when the couple were on their way to the residence of a minister whom they had engaged to perform the ceremony. The coachman was discharged by his mistress and the young lady was taken to her father's country residence, where she is now reported to do oiosoiy waicnca 10 prevent nor irom joining lier lover. Prior to this unfortunate affair the veiling lady had been receiving the company of a young, wealthy aad talented physician, who had asked her hand in marriage and had met with a favorable response.

Atncriran of :i recent date says: A curious exhibition was given in Dr. Duncan Eve's rear ofI lice yesterday morninp. Dr. II. ShackIctt and M. (r. C<dlins, of Centreville, appeared there with the understanding that Collins was to permit a rattlesnake i to bite him and then cure himself by a concoction manufactured out of the mosses which prow 011 white oak and hickory nut trees. This moss had been put in three and a nair pints ni water, I they said, and boiled down toa half pint. The physicians chose a rattlesnake in preference to a copperhead and a cottonmouth snake, by either of which Collins proposed to make the test. lie was bitten on the wrist by the rattlesnake, and the wound bled. He at once applied the remedy to the wound and took it internally. His pulse had heat at eighty-four; temperature, ninety-nine. At the end of lifti'en minutes from the bite the pulse had risen to ninety-one and the temperature to 101A degrees; fifteen minutes more his pulse was ninety-three and the temperature 100; in one hour from the time of I he bite the pulse beat at ninety, while the temperature marked ninetyeight and one-half. At this point of the proceedings Collins suffered with nauseated stomach, and remarked that he had Hw. comn ovrmiMinnnf wif.ll !l Tflttlp lHi.1l lliu naiuu I1IIIVIIW ?.v.. . snake at Centrevillo last Monday; that the two experiments had been too close together, and they would not catch him making experiments without a greater lapse of time between them. The snake that bit Collins was then teased until it stru k a dog, which died from the bite one hour and thirty-live minutes after. Collins claims to have got his antidote front the Hlackfeet and Cherokee Indians when a youth. No Hiding in*Paris. The population, floating or permanent, of every arrondissement or ward in Paris, says a correspondent, is counted officially every month. He your abode at hotel, hoarding house or private residence, within forty-eight hours you are required to sign a register, giving your name, age, occupation and former residence. This, within the period mentioned, is copied by an official ever traveling from house to house with the big blue hook under his arm. The register gives, also, the leading characterisI ties of your personal appearance.

There were always gathered more or less negroes and Indians, with theirsniiaws. melaneholv remnants of a dying race. The Governor's Guards, in their British colonial uniform, rod coats and short breeches, always paraded. During election gambling and drunkenness held a high carnival. Gambling-tables, with diio and liquor-stands, were in and around iho State-IIousc Square, dancing and fiddling going on hard by, "double shuttle and breakdown." Men and hoys moved amid the throng with glasses and bottles of cherry-rum: tackled everybody to sell them a drink, making dives, half-a-dozen at a time, upon the countrymen coming in on horseback, and thirsty from the dust of the roads. By noon the liquor'/tad got well circulated, when-more or less lights took place, with pushing crowds, and seizures by the constables, and conveyances to the jail, followed 1 y yelling, hooting, drunken bands.
