FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. THE ZULUS. A YEAR or two ago we could read about the Zulus only in books and missionary magazines, but now we may read about them in almost every daily paper. The war between this tribe of Africans and the English has called attention from all parts of the world, and many are asking who these people are who can resist the British forces so successfully. There are three native races inhabiting South Africa: the Bushmen, the Hottentots, and the Kaffirs. The Zulus belong to the Kaffir tribe, and they are sometimes called Kaffir-Zulus. They occupy a region in the southeast part of Africa, including the province of Natal and the territory north of it. Natal is now an English colony, having been made such in 1843, and many English people have gone there to trade and to live. But before these colonists went to Natal, missionaries from America had begun to preach the gospel to the degraded natives. This was in 1835. The Zulus, as they were first found, were degraded indeed. The men, to be sure, had good forms and features; they were tall and quick in their motions. The earliest missionaries described them as wearing a few feathers upon the head, beads upon the neck and arms, a small piece of the skin of some animal about the loins, and otherwise without clothing. The photograph of the Zulu warrior from which the engraving here given has been made was sent us this year from Natal. This warrior is supposed to be connected with the royal family, and in appearance is a good A ZULU WARRIOR. specimen of the heathen Zulus who are now at war with the English. They are a strong, vigorous race, and very brave. |
