The Natal Mercury lays the whole blame of the present disasterous state of Zululand at the door of political agitators of the Colenso school. These would have Cetewayo restored, though they were told what the consequences would be. It says :— '« They sowed the wind and they have reaped the whirlwind. The blool guiltiness is theirs. They brought ruin on Cetewayo himself, ancl they were indirectly instrumental in bringing about his death, aa it is now fully understood at Etshowe that the late King died, whether by poison or otherwise, by the hands of his own people, and probably by his own relatives. To what extent their subsequent intrigues have conduced to the present crisis we cannot at present say, but there is too much reason to believe that the Usutus have been incited to and encouraged in their attitude of hostility by the representations or suggestions of European agitators. But it is bootless at such, a moment to discuss the origin of existing and menacing evils. The evils themselves are absolute facts, and have to be grappled with. Causes and- influences can be investigated hereafter. What has to be done ; what can be done ; what may be done — these are the all-pressing aad.paramount considerations." Sage, that simple little plant, is most valuable, its qualities aro universal, and too numerous to mention. It lengthens life, it giv«health, strength and beauty. Sage also forms one of thabeatdemifrices I can mention, and because it is so simple and common very few use it ; still I again repeat that sage leaves are the' healthiest things possible, and if you will bub rub your teeth regularly night and morning with them you will never need a^tooth brush, powder, or wash. They will thoroughly cleanse your teeth, and keep them not only healthy but white ; for depend upon it sage is invaluable for every purpose, as teeth, eyes, breath and memory all benefit by it, therefore we Bhould never be without it,
