ZEQUEIRA, Manuel de (thay-kay-ee'-rah),
Cuban author, b. in Havana about 1760 ; d. there
in 1846. He entered the army when very young
and sailed to Santo Domingo in 1793, when he
took part in the attempts to quell the revolt of the
negroes in the French part of the island. In 1813
he went to New Grenada, in 1814 he was appointed
governor of the province of Rio Hacha, and he
was also governor of Santa Marta in 1815 and of
Cartagena in 1816. He was brevetted colonel in
1817, and returned to Havana, where he fixed his
residence. He lost his reason in 1821. His first
poetical essays were published in 1795 in the
" Papel Periodico," of Havana, the first newspaper
in Cuba. " America y Apolo," an allegorical work,
appeared in 1817, and " Batalla de Cortes en la
Laguna." an epic, was published in 1820. The
first edition of his " Poems " appeared in New
York in 1829, and a larger one was published by

ZERRAHN, Carl, musician, b. in Malchow,
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, 28 July, 1826.
He began the study of music in Rostock at the
age of twelve years, and completed his education
in Hanover and Berlin. About 1848, with twenty-five
others, he organized “The Germania Musical
Society” and came to this country, giving
concerts in London on their way. They reached New
York in September, 1848, and gave successful
concerts in New York and Brooklyn, which were
followed by others in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, and New England. They appeared for
five or six years with Jenny Lind, Madame Sonntag,
Ole Bull, Thalberg, Alfred Jaell, Camilla Urso,
and other artists, disbanding in 1854. In that
year Zerrahn became musical director of the Handel
and Haydn society of Boston, which post he
now holds. From 1866 till 1882 he was conductor
of the Harvard musical association. He has
conducted the music festivals of the Worcester county
musical association every year since 1865, with the
exception of 1868, which he spent in Germany,
and took part in the New York festivals of 1869
and 1873. He is a member of several musical societies,
and has edited two books designed for musical
organizations, “The Index” (Boston, 1881) and
“The Apograph” (1885).
ZEUNER, Charles, musician, b. in Eisleben,
Prussian Saxony, 20 Sept., 1795; d. near
Philadelphia, Pa., 7 Nov., 1857. He was baptized as
Heinrich Christopher, but seems to have changed
his name when he came to the United States in
1824. He settled in Boston, where he became
organist of Park street church and of the Handel
and Haydn society (1830-'7). In 1854 he removed
to Philadelphia, where he held various posts as
organist. For several years he showed symptoms
of insanity, which, however, were not thought to
be serious. On 7 Nov., 1857, he left for West
Philadelphia, and on the same day committed suicide.
His oratorio, “The Feast of Tabernacles,” was
published in 1832. He issued also some collections of
music, notably “The American Harp” (Boston,
1839) and “Ancient Lyre” (1848).
ZEVALLO Y BALBOA, Miguel (thay-val'-yo),
Spanish missionary, d. in Quito about 1595. He
joined early the army, and served in the Nether-
lands and Italy, but entered the Franciscan order
and went to South America in 1566. In the con-
vent of his order at Santa Fe de Bogota a lay
friar, Juan de Orozco, communicated to him some
documents relating to American antiquities, and
he was induced to undertake their study. He was
afterward attached to the missions of Nicaragua,
and in 1576 became librarian of a convent in Quito.
After that time he devoted himself to the study
of ancient Indian monuments, receiving encour-
agement from Bishop Pedro de la Peiia. In 1586
he finished his "Miscelanea Austral" and dedi-
cated it to the Count de Villar, viceroy of Peru ;
but the work was not printed till Henry Ternaux-
Compans translated it into French and published
it in his collection under the title " Histoire du
Perou " (Paris, 1840). Zevallo's narrative contra-
dicts in several important particulars that of Gar-
cilaso de la Vega, and contains many details about
the early history of Peru which are not found
elsewhere. The original manuscript is preserved
in the archives at Seville, and a copy is in the
National library at Paris.
ZIEGLER, Henry, theologian, b. near Old Fort,
Centre co., Pa., 19 Aug., 1816. lie was graduated

lona, Pa., in 1855-'8, and professor of theology in
Missionary institute, Selinsgrove, Pa., in 1858-'81.
Failing health then compelled him to retire from
active duties. He received the degree of D. D. in
1860 from Wittenberg college, Springfield, Ohio.
Dr. Ziegler has a wide reputation as an author, and
as a teacher of theology he has been eminently suc-
cessful. Before his health failed he was a fre-
quent contributor to the periodicals of his church,
especially the " Evangelical Review and Lutheran
Quarterly " and the " Lutheran Observer." Besides
numerous baccalaureate and other addresses, he has
published " Treatise on Natural Theology " (1860) ;
" Treatise on Apologetic Theology " (1861) ; "Cate-
chetics — Historical, Theoretical, and Practical "
(Philadelphia, 1873) ; " The Pastor, his Relation
to Christ and the Church " (1876) ; " The Preacher,
his Relation to the Study and the Pulpit " (1876) ;

ZINZENDORF, Nicholas Lewis, Count of, b.
in Dresden, Saxony, 26 May, 1700; d. in Herrnhut,
9 May, 1760. He was educated at Halle and
Wittenberg. In 1722 he conceived the idea of a purer
church discipline, marks of which he observed
among the descendants of the Unitas Fratrum of
Bohemia and Moravia, whom he permitted to settle
on his estate, and Herrnhut was built for these
refugees. He finally united with them, and in
1736 was consecrated one of their bishops. John
Wesley was indebted to him both for his religious
