ZULU WAR RELICS - Mr G. Thresh of the Dramatic Hall, has in his possession several interesting relics of the Zulu War. One of them is a knife recovered from the field of Isandhlwana. The blade has evidently been made from the end of an officers sword, while the handle is of Zulu workmanship. Nearly all of the officers who have gone away have taken assegaies and other Zulu paraphernalia in large quantities.
