TWO SUNDAYS.
A lalv, alone, in a lowly door,
lVbfoh climbing woodbine made still lower,
Fat playing with lilies in the sun.
The loud church bells had just begun:
The kitten pounced in the sparkling grass,
At stealthy spiders that tried to pass;
The big do kept a threatening eye
Oil ttw, as I lingered, walking by.
The lilies grew high, and she reached up,
On tiny tip-toes to each gold cup;
And laughed aloud, and talked and clapped
Her small brown hands, as the tough sterna
snapped,
And flowers foil till the broad hearthstone
Wat covered, and only the topmost one
Of the lilies left. In sobered glee
Sh said to herself, "That's older than me I"
ii.
Two strong men, through the lowly door,
With uneven steps the baby bore;
They had set the bier on the lily bed;
The lily she left was crushed and dead,
The slow, sad bells had just begun;
The kitten crouched, afraid, in the sun;
And the poor watch-dog, in bewildered pain,
Took no notioe of m as I joined the train.
AF RICAN EXPLORATIONS.
LECTCr.K IIT DU CHAILLU AT THE COOPER INSTITUTE.
Mons. tlh Chaillu pave his flr-tlocture before
the Society for the Advancement of Science and
Art,' at the Cooper Institute last evening, to an
audience of about one thousand persons. The
lecturer was ln'roduced by Dr. Griscom, who
taid that the Society which he represented had
been greatly encouraged by the extraordinary
patronaue of the public on the occasion of Pro
fessor Agassiz'4 lectures before it, and they now
iiad the pleasure pf presenting another distin
guished explorer of a tield far different but not
less interesting than that treated of by Pro
fessor Agassiz. Mons. du Chaillu had spent ten
years of his life exploring the equatorial regions
of Africa entirely at his own expense, and so
extraordinary had been his discoveries that his
veracity uad been questioned In England; but
In the lectures he was to deliver beiore the
Society here, ho would convince his ncarers
that what he haa stated in his published works
was true.
Mons. du Cbal lu. in commencing his lecture,
said he appeared betore the audience with dilli
detice, as he was no speaker, and little accus
tomed to address popular audiences. He had
travelled over 10,01)0 miles of the equatorial
region ot Ainca, al wajs on toot, and Had col
lected over 2(100 specimens of birds, had killed
21 gonlias, a large number of chimpanzees, and
gathereti oeetber 120 ekulls of negroes. The
country bordering on the west coast ol Equa
torial Alrica and extending back into the inte
rior, was one vast juncle, a gigantic lorest, com
prising two and three degrees north and south
of the equator. Scattered through this forest
were now and then patches of prairie, loukmg
like little ilsnds in ihe vast sea of wilder
ness. Between the ranaes of mountains the
country was low and marshy. The lecturer
here Described on a map the mountain sources
oi the rivers Ocobai, 0iqui. Ouanda, etc.
Along the rivers and marshes the country was
nueu wiiii pnag.es ana veuomous reptiles, ironi
which the traveller suDered greatly in his -explorations
of this good-for-nothing country,
i'ew quadrupeds were to be lound here; he saw
neither ihe lion, nor the zebra, nor the ostrich.
Even the antelope, which was lound everywhere
else in Africa, was mi.ssing here. The traveller
would journey for miles and miles without
seeing the face of a human being, or a
monkey without hearing the note ot'"a bird,
or even the falling 01 a limb to break the
awlul silence. He would have to tight with
hunger una starvation, picking up a scanty
subsistence here ana there from the berries
that the taste ot his monkey-companion indi
cated to be safe lor food himself. Olten had he
gone tor days without lood ct any kind, but he
was consoled tor his suiierings when he disco
vered a new bird or animal with which toeurich
his collection. There were two seasons, the
rainy and the dry; the rainy season 011 the sea
coast commenced in September ard ended in
May, and lurther back in the interior, by way of
a change, the rainy season lasted tne year
round. Theie was no thunder or lightniDg
or tornado in the interior, but on the sea-coast
the thunder was terriac. In the last two years
of his explorations he never saw the sky
without clouds but twice, and then only for
an hour or two at each time. The heat was
not extreme, ahhough under the Equa
tor, the thermometer never reaching above 98
degrees. He used to spend his evenings, which
commenced at twenty minutes past G o'clock
the dajs and nights tinder the Equator being
nearly'cqual in watering the heavens. This
atlordui mm enjoyment which it was difficult to
describe. The stars seemed to him like old
friends, for tney had olten been his guides, when
without them, lie would not have known where
he was or whither to ro. Iq the months of
April and May the tiuest constellations of the
Southern Hemisphere were visible at the same
time. The planets Jupiter, atum, and
Venus were also visible, and far to the north
could be seen the Gieat Hear, which used to
remind him of Lome. Open spaces were visible
in the heavens, in whose deep blue ether the
most powerful telescope had been uiiablp to
detect a star, and then there was the milky
way, brilliant and sparkling with diamonds, and
the zodiacal light so luminous as almost to
enable one to read. In the equatorl.il forests
were vast numbers of ants not ants with the
H, as they sometimes say in Knulaud.
(Laughter.) Among them was the Bashqua,
the rucst voracious of all li vine animals. They
traverse the country, d-ntroyiuir every livtng
thing in their journey; they cannot
endure tne heat of the sun, nnd' wheu they
come to an open space they dig a tunnel,
through which they all travel to the nearest
shade The elf phaut lines before them, and also
the necro. They travel by night and by day.
Wheu ou their march tha wliobs lusect world
flees beiore them. He used to be warned of
their approach by this fact, und frequently had
to take to the water to e-cipe them. The 'scan
tiness of the population was a marked feature
of this country. The tribes were thinly scat
tered, and each tribe was divided into e.laus.
Further to the east he found a race of
dwarls, from lour leet four inches to four
leet six inches of ftature. The form of
government ol the natives whs patriarchal, the
-hiels being noted lor the mildness ot their rule.
Wo man could be put to death without the
sauction of a council previously held in his
"aee. The natives used to wonder at the in
terest he took in the past, and would ask why he
cared about ihe years gone by. They thought
he was cracked," as the saying is. (Laughter.)
Many of his European triends also thought he
was "cracked" for spending so much of his
time in Alrica. (Laughter.) There were very
few cemeteries in this country. It a mn dies
in a place the people all leave, thinking thu
-u. hn.i come, and it would not be

. tributed to witches. He did, however, see one

great reverence. The natives only visited it on

a coat when they wear no other garment. As
lor trowsers, he could not familiarize their
minds to th-tr utility or beauty. When they
wish to do the handsome thing byastranecr,
they will scrape the skulls of some of their best
ancestor and mix the scruplngs with the food
that is cooked tor the guest. Tnelr idea is that
the blood ot their ancestors will pass into the
stranger, thereby ennobling him ami causing
him to do the right thing by his entertainer.
He hoped be had npver eaten any of the scrao
inss of these skulln, but ho sometimes felt ner
vous when he reflected that he did not discover
the custom till the lat year of his explorations.
(Laughter.) The popular belief in wltchctatt
the speaker considered the woist feature of the
der.se superstition of that country. He believed
it was the cause of more deaths than the slave
trade, llesjokeol the crowds of natives that
followed him whenever ho made his appearance
wiicre a white mm had never before been
seen, and smd lie cmld appreciate the
n.iscry of Lcrop'u inoii&rchs, who were
never allowed to be alone. The natives
would flock about him and any to each other,
"Bee. he has eyes and nose and black
feet," thinking his boots were his feet. Tbey
considcied him a spirit, and thought he came
iu what they teimed a whirlwind. When he
asked to see the king, ttiey always replied that
the king could not be seen till three days.
Slavery cilsts among them, but they do not
make slaves of any of their own tribe. Wheu
any of their tribe are sold into slavery they are
always sold to some other tribe, and all chil
dren of slaves are born free. The cannibil
tribes of the interior, he said, were fast emi
grating westward, and de-troy or absorb all
the tribes in their pathway. They will soon
extinculsb the tribes on the sea-coast, who are
already fast disappearing. As to the capabili
ties ot the negro, he considered them susceptible
ot cultivation and improvement under the
supervision ot superior races, but when left to
themselves they would rclapso into barbarism,
as was seen in those tribes that were instructed
in Christianity by the Jesuits, one hundred
yenrs ago, but now had no traces left of the
religion.
A great portion of the lecture last evening
was nearly identical with the address before the
Travellers' Club, previously reported. The next
lecture will be on the habits ol the gorilla, to be
given on Friday evening next, at the same place.

A STOJl Y OF THE FRENCH RE VOLU
TION. A curious story of the French Revolution of
1754 has just been unfolded ina l'aris court of
law. On June 11, 17'J4, Baron de Saint-Ouen
Dernemont, one of the grey mousquetaires of
Louis XV's body guard, and the Baronne de
Haint-Luen Dernoniont, his wife, were tried
by the revolutionary tribunal and sent to the
scaffold on the same day. They left five chil
dren, two sons and three daughters. So far
back as .luly, ITS!), Baron Uernemont and his
sons left Versailles to share the voluntary exile
oftheCountd'Artois. The Baroness Dernemont
left in l'aris with her three daughters, fell into a
state of the most distressing poverty. In 17U 4 she
wrote pressing letters to the baron beseeching
him to return. He at length complied with
her request too soon for himself, for he was
arrested almost immediately, and executed as
above stated; but too late for the welfare of
his family. Some time in 1791, one of his
daughters, the noble demoiselle Sophie de
Saint-Ouen Dernemont left her mother's
house and became the mistress of a roturkr
named Louis Fontaine, who lived with her for
several months in the lino de l'lJiiiversite.
Fontaine turned her adrift after the birth of a
child, and installed her sister, the noble de
moiselle Felicite de Saint-Ouen Dernemont,
in her place.
What became of Mad'lle Sophie for several
years after this desertion, does not appear, but
on January 10, 179U, bhe consoled herself by
marrying a man named Ignard, who had been
a journeyman baker, but had then acquired
some money by lucky speculations, and after
waida became one of the richest bankers
under the empire. M. Ignard died without
issue in 1S14, leaving his widow a very large
fortune, the greater part of which she gave up
to her husband's relations. Years rolled on,
during which Madame Ignard lived in the
most absolute retirement, obscure and forgot
ten. She persisted in refusing to see any of
her relations, till they gave up the attempt.
Her establishment consisted of a single woman
servant, and the only stranger who ever
crossed her threshold during the latter years
of her life was a humble government em
ploye, to whom she gave one hundred francs
a month to read the newspapers to her.
It was only last year, on April 5, lSlifi,
that the daughter of Louis X V's moiisquetaire
emitted this world, in which she had led such
a checkered and extraordinary life, at the age
of ninety-live years. It was then found that
her savings out of the small pittance which
she had reserved to herself in the attribution
of her husband's succession amounted to the
handsome sum of four hundred thousand
francs. Sixteen nephews aud nieces came for
ward to claim this inheritance. But a title
paramount, of which they were not dreaming,
has been established by the I ourt, which
carries off three-fourths of the prize. During
the short period in 1791 that Louis Fontaine
lived with Mad'lle Sophie, a daughter was born
wno was "recognized" m the parish register
of St. Thomas Aquinas as their natural child.
A Monsieur Jerome and a Madame Berlet have
pioved without diiliculty that they are the
only children of that natural child, who died
in her mother's lifetime. The French law is
that a "recognized" natural child takes three
fourths of the succession as against collate
rals, and the court has accordingly decreed
M. Jerome and Madame Berlet entitled to
liOO.OliOf. out of Madame Ignard's property,
while the sixteen legitimate nephews aud
nieces wid only get 100,000f. among them.
Ki i EcrsoK the Repeal ok the Rkcipuocity
TitEATY. The repeal of the Reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Canada, it is
reported, has caused an increased trade be
tween Nova Scotia and Canada. Formerly,
Nova Scotia received about :S0(),l00 barrels of
Hour per annum from the United States, and
(iOUO to 7000 from Canada. Now the receipts
are reversed, and about 7UO0 barrels are taken
from the United States aud I5(M,HHI from
Canada.
