THE NILE DISCOVERY.
communicates to
K fr a lo “g letter from Mr.
f“f"; “ e “scoverer erf Albert Nyanza
Lake in Central Africa.
A “tJ „ aker ’ 8 letter is dated Khartum,
Pi. d«» and after some words of thanks
to Oir-Roderiok Mnrchison, and stating that
he will be in England shortly, he goes on
to'Say:—
Aly boats departed from Gondokoro for
Khartum, with Captains Speke and Grant,
but when I was about to start, the whole of
my men mutinied and refused to proceed,
retaining possession of my arms and ammu
mtiQii, The ivory-traders of the place com
bined to prevent any European from pene
trating the interior, fearing travellers’
reports upon the slave trade. The chance
of being able to proceed appeared hopeless.
Being resolved not to be driven back, and
finding it impossible to lead my men south
I at length induced eighteen of my mutin
eers to accompany me to the camp of one
of the traders, E. S. E. of Gondokoro about
eighty miles, whence I hoped to be able to
alter my course. Having loaded my cam
els and asses, I started at night, without
either interpreter or guide, neither of whom
were procurable, allthe natives being under
the influence of the traders. On passing
the station of an Arab trader, six days from
Gondokoro, my men who had previously
oonspired to deßert me at that spot, again
mutinied; several absconded with arms
and ammunition, and the trader’s
party. They, however, were massacred by
the Latooka tribe two days after their de
sertion.
A day’s journey'in advance of the sta
tion, I met an Arab trader, whose heart I
gained by presents. I persuaded him to
supply me with porters, and to accompany
me to the Unyoro country, where he might
commence a trade with King Kamrasi.
Then X intended to strike west in search of
the lake.
Owing to a succession of difficulties and
delays, 1 did not arrive at Kamrasi’s
capital, M’rooli, north latitude 1° 37',
until the 10th of February, 1864. The
trader's party returned to Gondokoro, leav
ing me with my escort of thirteen men to
proceed. After eighteen days’ march, I
reached the long-wished-for lake, about one
hundred miles west of M’rooli, at Vaeovia,
in north latitude 1° 14'. In respect for
the memory of our lamented Prince, I
named it (subject to her Majesty’s permis
sion) the “ Albert Nyanza,” as the second
great source of the Nile—second, not in
importance, but only in order of discovery,
to the Victoria Nile-head. The Victoria
and the Albert Lakes are the indubitable
parents of the river.
The capital; of Unyoro (M’rooli) is situ
ated at the junction-of the Nile and Kafoor
Rivers, at an altitude of 3,202 feet above
the sea level. I followed the Kafoor to
latitude 1° 12' north, to avoid an impassa
ble morass that runs from north to south;
upon rounding this I continued a direct
westerly course to the lake. The route
throughout is wooded, interspersed with
glades, thinly populated, with no game.
My route lay over high ground to the north
of a swampy valley running west; the
greatest elevation-wan 3,686 Jeet. The
rocks were all gneiss, granite, and masses’
of iron ore, apparently fused into a conglo
merate with rounded quartz pebbles.
THE LAKE AND COURSE OF THE NILE NORTH
WARD.
The Albert Lake is a vast basin lying in
an abrupt depression, the cliffs, which I de
scended by a difficult pass, being 1,470
feet above its level. The lake level is
2,070 feet, 1,132 feet lower than the Nile at
M’rooli; the drainage of the country tends
from east to west. From the high ground
above the lakes no land is visible to the
south and southwest; but northwest and
west is a large range, of mountains, rising
to about 7,(300 feet above the lake level,
forming the western shore, and running
southwest, parallel to the course of the
lake.. Both King Kamrasi and the natives
assured me that the lake is known to ex
tend into Rumanika’s country to the west
of Kaeagwe, but from that point in about
!*■ 30' south latitude, it turns suddenly to
the- west, in which direction its extent is
unknown. In north latitude 1° 14', where
I reached the lake, it is about sixty miles
wide, but the .width increases southward.
The water is deep, sweet, and transparent:
the shores are generally clean and free
from reeds, forming a sandy beach.
I navigated the lake in a canoe formed
of a hollow tree, for twelve days from Ya
oovia, arriving at Magungo, at the junction
of the Nile with the lake, in north latitude
2*l6'. The voyage was long, owing to
the necessity of coasting, and to the heavy
sea, which, with a westerly wind, generally
rose at one P. M. daily.
At the Nile junction, the lake had con
tracted to a width of about twenty miles;
but vast masses of reeds, growing in deep
water, prevented the canoe from landing.
Mountains had ceased on the eastern shore,
giving place to hills about 500 feet high,
whioh, instead of rising uprightly from the
lake,- like the mountains further south,
were five or six miles distant, the ground
descending in undulations to the lake. The
entrance of the Nile is a broad channel of
deep but dead water, bounded on either
side by vast banks' of reeds. From this
point the lake extends to the northwest for
about forty miles, and then turns to the
west, contracting gradually; extent un-
known.
About twenty miles north of the Nile
junction at Magungo, the river issues from
the great reservoir, and continues its course
to Goridokoro. ['this appears to be the
passage referred to by Sir Roderick Murch
ison, as proving that Speke s Nile flows into
the take, but other statements in the letter
confirm this view.} ■ .
I went up the Nile in a canoe from the
inaction; the natives would proceed no
further north, owing to the hostile tribes on
the lake shores. About ten miles from the
iunction, the Nile channel contracted to
ibout. two .hundred and fifty yeards in
Width, with little precept.ble stream veiy
deep, and bauked, as usual with high reeds,
the country on either side undulated and
wooded. The curse from the junction up
the river being east, at about twenty miles
from Magnngo, my voyage suddenly termi
nated ; a stupendous waterfall of one hun
dred and twenty-nine feet perpendicular
height, Btopped all further progress. Above
the great fall the river is suddenly confined
within rooky hills, and it races through a
gap, contracted from a grand stream of
perhaps two hundred yards width to a
channel not exceeding sixty yards. Through
this gap it rushes with amazing rapidity,
and plunges at one leap into a deep basin
below, This magnificent cataract I have
taken the liberty of naming the “ Murchi
son Falls.”
From that point I proceeded overland
parallel with the river through Chopi, and
at length I reached Karuma, having been
for some months completely disabled by
fever, my quinine being long since ex
hausted. •
Lake Albert Nyanza forms an immense
basin far below the level of the adjacent
country, and." receives the entire drainage
of extensive mountain ranges on the west,
and of the Utumbi, Uganda, and Unyoro
countries on the east. Eventually receiv
ing the Nile itself, it adds its accumulated
waters and forms .the second source of that
mighty river. The voyage down the lake
is extremely beautiful, the mountains fre
quently-arising abruptly from the . water,
while numerous cataracts rush down the
furrowed sides. The cliffs on the east shore
are granite, frequently mixed with large
masses of quartz.
On the eastern borders of the lake much
salt is obtained from the soil; this forms
the trade of the miserable villages which at
loDg intervals are situated on the Unyoro
shore. The natives are extremely inhospi
table, in many eases refusing to sell provis
ions. Mallegga, on the west 5 coast of the
lake, is a large and powerful country, gov
erned by a king named Kajoroj who pos
sesses boats sufficiently large to close the
lake. The Mallegga trade largely with
Kamrasi, bringing ivory and beautifully
prepared skins and mantles in exchange for
salt, brass-coil bracelets, cowries, and beads,
all of which articles, excepting, salt, come
from Zanzibar, via . Karagwe, there being
no communication with the west coast of
Africa
The actual length of the Albert Nyanza
from south to north is about two hundred
and sixty geograpioal miles, independent
of its unknown course to the west, between
1° and 2° south latitude, and of its similar
course in the north, in latitude about 3°. .

INFILTRATION.
A NEW PROCESS OV PRESERVIN'® MEAT.
Says the Press of yesterday, July 27th,
in company with a 'number -of scientific
gentlemen, we witnessed, at the pork-pack
ing establishment of‘ Mr. Jacob Alburger,
in the southern part of the city, the opera
tion ot Morgan’s patent process for preser
ving meat for food by infiltration. This
method was invented by Dr. John Morgan,
professor of practical anatomy in the Royal
College of Surgeons, in Ireland. The
animal was first killed by a blow on the
head. Incisions were then made into the
right and left sides of the heart, and the
venous and arterial blood allowed to escape.
A pipe was then inserted into the main
artery,-(aorta,) and brine was thuß intro l '
to a barrel of tbe liquid. The brine used
on this occasion was tbe same as that used
by Mr. Alburger in his business. The
force used depended 'on the elevation of the
barrel, which was about twenty feet above
tbe carcass of tbe. hog. This gave a pres
sure of about seven pounds to the inch.
The pipe being inserted into the aorta, the
brine, of course, flowed through the circu
latory system traversed by the blood in
life. The sanguineous fluid having been
thoroughly washed or rinsed out, the open
ing in the right side was closed, and the
vessels then became distended with . the
brine. This operation was rapid and en
tirely successful, which was proved by in
cisions made in various parts of tbe body,
the foot, ear, and end of the tail. This
was positive, evidence, of course, that the
brine had traversed to every part of the
animal. The operation was performed by
Mr. R. S. Wharton, of the firm of Attwood
& Wharton, merchandise brokers, of New
York. ' So much for the operation, which
we can truly say was entirely successful.
It remains to be seen to what extent the
meat has been cured. In the ordinary
process of pickling pork, thirty days are re
quired; but .by the new process, the time
has been reduced to less than thirty
minutes. It is claimed for this invention,
or, perhaps, more properly speaking, appli
cation'of science, that the meat thus cured
is thirty-three per cent better than by tbe
old method, and more tender. For six
months tbe new method has been in use in
New York. It has also been introduced at
Australia and South America. The best
test after all, that which will suit the
people, is that some of the meat thus cured,
either pork or beef, be submitted for sale
or otherwise, so that the real result of the
new process may be estimated through the
medium of the every day science of gas
tronomy. We understand that Mr. Whar
ton intends to operate on one or two head
of cattle in a day or two.
SALT FOR THE GARDEN.
Latterly some practical men have recom
mended the application of salt to gardens,
either in autumn after the crops have been
removed, or in the spring before or after
digging for crops ; and we have no doubt,
from our own limited experience in its use,
that it will effect all that is claimed for it.
For years it bas been established that salt
hay from* the marshes overflowed by sea
water, was far to be preferred as a mulch
to any other substance. The application
of urine, also to fruit trees, especially the
plum, where it has been most generally
used, is well known to have a very bene
ficial effect. The fruit growers of New
England and New York claim for salt
many advantages by sowing it under pear
trees. They say it gives the blush to this
fruit. It will have the same effect in a
garden, also, of destroying noxious insects
which have their winter habitations in the
ground. From six to eight bushels to the
acre can be applied with safety. Any
ooarse refuse salt will do. It should not

be burned —the raius will dissolve it and
carry it down. Farmers frequently have
salt from their meat tubs and mackerel
barrels, which could be used in this way,
after being thoroughly drained and dried,
and applied at the rate of about four bush
els to the acre.
Salt is not a lasting application. Its
direct influence rarely extends beyond a
year, though the good it effects'may con
tinue fur manyyears —German town Tele
graph.
AGE OF SHEEP FOR MUTTON.
A late English writer says:—“A
sheep to be in high order for the palate
of the epicure should not be killed
earlier than five years old, at which
age the mutton will be nice and suc
culent, of a dark color, and full of the
richest gravy; whereas, if only two
years old, it is flabby, pale and flavor
less.”
This is doubtless true; but when
shall we have well-fatted five years old
mutton in the United States ? Mutton
here is coming into favor more and
more every year, and there is every
inducement, from the high prices that
a choice article commands, to meet
this growing demand. 'We ate some
Kentucky mutton lately that was
really fine—tender, juicy, and high
flavored; but such mutton cannot be
obtained every day at any price.
With as fine a country as any in the
world for sheep-raising, we are lamen
tably behind the age in developing its
capacities, and obliged to continue eat
ing mutton of third rate quality.—
Germantown Telegraph.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A TRADE.
A writer in the Manchester Mirror (who
intimates that he was bred a blacksmith,
and loves his occupation,) relates a story of
a faithful clerk who had long served with
Mr. Girard,. of Philadelphia, and expected
a handsome present at the expiration of his
time. He therefore went to the million
aire and said, “ Sir, my time is up; what
would you advise me to do?” “I would
advise you to learn the cooper’s trade,”
said Girard. The clerk felt chagrined,
and turned about in despair; but recollect
ing the eccentricity of the: old man, he
concluded to do as Girard had told him.
Thereupon he made a bargain with a cooper
to teach him the trade in one year. At
the expiration of that time he presented
himself ,to the old man, saying, “ Sir, I
have done as you desired—learned the
cooper’s trade.” “Well,” said Girard,
make me three of the best barrels you
can.” He did so The millionaire, on
receiving them, gave his clerkly cooper (or
cooperly clerk) a check for three thousand
dollars, saying, “Go into business with
that, and if you fail, you will have a trade
to fall. back.upon.”
SALTING WHEAT LAND.
John Johnson, of Geneva, New York,'
writes to the editor of the Genessee. Farmer,
under date of June 8: “ I did last year
what I never did before: that was, plowing
«*yinurifii' HIIII..WM.
reheat. lit is a respecfcabJe-Jooking crop
now, but if you saw the half of the field'
that I sowed salt on, say a fnll barrel to the
acre, I am almost sure you would order
forty or fifty barrels of second-quality salt
to sow in September or October. The
salted wheat stands much thicker on the
ground, is considerably taller, came in ear
fully four days before tbe other, and alto
gether looks richer every way; and as I
bad not salt enough to sow the whole field,
I sowed tbe half tjiat has hitherto brought
tbe worst crop, and the latest in ripening.
Now it is much the best. I can stand in
the : middle of the field, and look forty-five
rods each way, and see distinctly how far
the salt came; or I can walk or ride down
the side of the field where not salted, and
see the line' as plainly aB if the one side
Was corn and the other wheat. If this
won’t make men experiment with salt, I
don’t know what will. If you lack faith in
salt, I want you to try one barrel on an
acre of wheat, on dry land. If it don’t
pay, charge tbe cost of tbe salt to me.”
TO PRESERVE ORCHARDS.
Nathan Shotwell, Elba, Geness.ee County,
New York, thinks the cause of the present
appearance of decay and death in so many
orchards is owing entirely to neglect and
bad management. He thinks a majority of
orchards in this country have that neglected
appearance; some are not pruned at all,
others are carelessly haggled, and large
limbs left with protruding stumps that can
not heal over. Orchards are plowed and
the roots torn, and many farmers who have
access to leaves, mnek, saw dust, etc., never
mulch their trees, nor remove the rough
bark which furnishes a harbor for insects.
It should be scraped off with a hoe, and
the tree washed with strong ley. An old
orchard planted hy my father, and still in
vigorous growth and bearing, has not been
plowed for thirty years. It has generally
been pastured with swine until apples began
to ripen. Manure frequently put to the
roots of the trees destroying the toughness
of the sod and making the soil loose and
spongy, and the scions (the last year’s
growth) that were large enough for graft
ing, have nearly all been removed yearly
for more than forty years.— N. T. Tribune.
Horses Feeding one Another. —M.
de Boussanelle, captain of cavalry, in the
regiment of Beauvillers, relates, in his
“Military Observations,” “That an old
horse in his company, that was very fine
and full'of mettle, bad his teeth, all of a
sudden, so worn down that he could not
chew his hay and corn ; and that he was
fed for two months, and would still have
been so, had he been kept, by two horses
on each side of him, that ate in the same
mapeer; that these horses drew hay from
the same rack, which they chewed and,
afterwards threw before him-; they did the
same with the oats, which they ground
very small, and also put before him; this”
added he, “ was observed and witnessed by
a whole company of cavalry, officers and
men.”

This Seminary has been in successful operation for

in its relations to the most densely populated portions
of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un

purpose to which they are designed.
To the present and former patrons of the school it is
needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who
desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu
tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this
school is to educate . in the only true sense. To secure
this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches
pursued, so that the scholar may understand the
principle involved in every investigation.
The classes are arranged in three departments:—
Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa
rate and ample accommodations forprimary pupils, as
well as for those belonging to the higher departments.
All the departments are subject to the same discipline
and general supervision.
Circulars containing Course of Study, and other in
formation, may be obtained at the Presbyterian
House. 1334 Chestnut street; also, at 1226 Chestnut
street, or address Box 2611, Post Office. Philadelphia.
The next session will commence on MONDAY, Sep
tember 18th. 1865.
The rooms will be ready for examination about the
first of September.

Look o’er the fashions which old pictures show*
Ab the) prevailed some fifty years ago;
At least that phase of fashion which conveys
.Hints of those instruments of torture— stats f
And then compare the old, complex machine,
With that which iu these modern days is aeeat
Ho more n/ steel and whalebone is the chest,
Or tide, o» liver, terribly compressed •
Ho more are curving ribs, or waving spine,
Twisted aj?d tortured out of Beauty’s line
For skill aad defence both unite to show
How much tf t ealth to dress do women owe.
In Mbs. Bhbbman’s Cobsbtb, ladies find
The laws of Health with Fashion's taste combined 1
Supporting equally each separate part,
They cramp no action of the lungs or heart;
And no injurious ligature is placed
To mar the flexure of the natural waist;
Their fit is certain—and, what’s sure to please,
In all positions there is perfect ease;
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and not repressing every-charm;
Irregularities of shape they hide,
Bo that by none can slight defects be spied,
While e’en a figure, which is understood
As being “bad,” may by their help seem good;
And matrons wearing them a boon will grin.
Their early symmetry they’ll long retain.
Insuring comfort, grace, good health, and ea«e.
These Sherman Corsets cannot fail to please:
One trial is the only test they need,
For then all others they must supersede; ,
Fashion's demands -with usefulness they blend.
And so are truly every woman's friskd l
