Boms yours Ago there) sr-weared in, 1 think, "Notes and Queries" an jtMoact of a trip to tho mini of an anoleut tlr in Africa which baa sines bom sngReeted a bo tho Ophir of Boriptaro; and it inay bo Sstereitirg to sob of your readers to know path particulars of these ruins as oould bo gMcrtained br a traveller who did not ao- taklly reach tho Bite himself. . ? jiet June 1 was at the small town of Lev-den ett, in the Transvaal or Booth African Ile ebiie, and showed a copy of tho story to tho k... Nachtisal, of tho Berlin Mission, Whoso station is there, and who, as tho story told, was, with his fellow-mlsslonary, Mr. HerinBkl,- tho author of tho expedition; he nlUtd at many of his statements, such as incidents about baby elephants and ill-treated baboons following bis party; but told me that tho story was founded on fact, and garo mo mm outline of his journey. From his aooount, which 1 had confirmed entirely by one Kafir and in parts by others, I gather the following, tho tmbllolty of which may induce future tiayelllers and sportsmen to see further for themselves, and perhaps even leave the South African gold fields for what would certainly be a most interesting trip. .... From Letdenberg an explorer oaa take his bullock-wagon three days (say sixty miles) in northerly direction, and must then, with the MsfBtaooe of Kafirs, travel on foot through the rough country. Nine days' easy walking will bring him to the Limpopo, Oori, or iTambe river (being known by the latter name); but before orosBing this he will see the ruins of a wall town, waioh, however, have beenjdmoat totally destroyed. Two 6t three days more will take him to another set of ruins of a simi lar nature. The missionaries passed over these without noticing more than that they had been ancient buildings, and oould not have, nor is there any probability that they had, been the work of natives. Their 6bJeot was to push on to the largest of the ruins known to be in that country, as the short winter season allowed them but a limited time. As, however, fever was very prevalent among the natives, and some of their own party were ill. when they were within sight of these rains, on the north bank of the Kulsi or Sabia, a river running eastwards, they were compelled to return, but notioed that there were buildings of masonry and out stone work, with one block like - a tower and several other considerable portions standing. The name of these deserted ruins is UanyoaJ, situated in about latitude 20 deg. 50 mia. south, longitude 32 deg. east, and the peo ple living near them are the Banyai or Qa&rri-qnarrl Kafirs; they show no hostility to the white man, unless he is a Datoh Boer, who could not safely venture into their coun try; and 1 think it is partly because the Boers, who are as a rule the pioneer hunters of South Africa, and partly because no African traveller happens to have stiuck this route, that no .better accounts have been brought down, and that these ruins hve not been ez 'amlned. The natives are a mixture of diffe rent tribes, partaking both of the Basuto and the Zulu type and language the two ohief divisions in Southeastern Africa, and which appear to have started from a common origin further north, and emigrated southward in two streams, divided by the great range of the Drakensberg, or Katlamba. I am disposed to draw this latter conclusion from several points in their language, and one is almost inclined to believe that the real Alagamma of Greek philology is to be found among these savageB on the east coast; in fiuoh words, for instance, as "to go": among the Amalunga tribe, or Knobnoses, fatnba; int the Satsi tribe two hundred miles south, uamba, almost wamba; further south, Zulu, hamba, jnore or lees aspirated; and in Natal, amba. To a stranger, the language of the Basutos, Jrem the perpetual ringing of the letter "r," sounds peculiarly different from that of the Zulus, who cannot pronounce that letter; but a very short examination shows the close alliance between the two languages the let ter "r" being constantly substituted for the Zulu "1" in suoh words as (Zulu) umlilo. are," Basuto umriro, and often the ohange of a i into "r, as la (Zulut invati. "buffalo:" Basuto, 'nhari. Both languages have also the ausative, reciprocal, and other formations of tho verb. The existence of the ruins above referred to, r similar ones, has been known for many years, and they have been alluded to in seve ral old travels; and apparently in oonneotlon with the gold trade, but of oourse suoh aeeounts must be taken for what they are worth, as they contain many absurdities. In The Modern Part of an Universal History" (London, 1781), the moBt considerable gold mines are placed in the district of Manlea, the name of either the river Babia or the Lim popo; and in "A Collection of Voyages and Travels" (London, 1746), and several other similar works, is an aooount of a Portuguese Journey in 1669, in whioh referenoe is made to ruins or "structures built with stone, ttme and timber" being met with in different parts of the oountry, and in one aooount tho nam Afur is given as that of one set of rains, or perhaps of the whele distriot; but I annot asoertaln whether this name existed there on the first dlsoovery by the Portu guese, or whether they called It Afar beoause they wished it to be the real Ophir. From this ooinoidence, however (If it is one), and tho name of the river Babia (unde ttueba), otnbined with the recent disooverv of large gold-fields in the same neighborhood, some persons go so far as to oonolude that the Bibli cal aooount is but a short history of Bunyoai. What are these rulnsf Are they the remains of defensive buildings, or mercantile empori ama of a past civilization, or the works of some ancient religious order? As this part of Africa is now being drawn into notice, and many are leaving England, some attracted by the prospects of gold and liters with tho idea of a suooessful sporting r trading venture it would be well if a tra veler oould be induced to make notes of and ompare such things as he may observe in the stoma and languages of these tribes, with a view to assisting ethnologists, rather than swell his published aooount into what is often IKUe Letter than a butcher's diary. J. is. it. ForetWn Item. Gold diggings in the north of Bcotland will be a surprise to many persons; but there they are, in the shire of Sutherland, and with anmber of dleeers who are collecting alia- viam from tho borders of the Uolmsdalo wiwt,r. and washing it in the stream. Tho .i.tlt hitherto collected is not great, per- kns 200 worth, but the quality is desoribed as good, ana tne utmr viiiuij mR6c.o who have worked in Australia are of opinion that when proper means are taken me yieia win ha aiimething considerable. Are we about to witness a "rush" to the Sutherland. shir diggings T aira shall we see in wuo airath in whioh the cold lies burled, sprinkled with tents, and noisy with the eager labor and try of an excited population r Baron Tauohnits, of Leipsio, who30 nam and publications will be known to all our tra velling friends, has published a small pamph let a tho project copyright 0 North-Oerm an Confederation. Wo gather from his pages that' tho proposed oopyHght lto )att thirty years from the author's death. Tho Baron's chief suggestions aw, that tho copy right of German works shonld not be confined to the sublets of those Slates which form tho Confederation, and that tho Confederation should set an example to foreign countries in tho matter of international copyright. Theso two proposals go beyond tho ideas of legisla tors, to Judge from tho seotions of the pro jected law which Barou Tauohnits quotes, as well as from the English Aots on tho sabjeoU Bat the last decision of tho House of Lords (Rontledge vs. . Low) aooords with Baron Tauohniti's suggestion, and makes it all tho more valuable. A reader of a very old astronomioal book was pnsaled and rather frightened, by finding that the moon went round the earth in some thing between four and five minutes. He Lad to ponder until ho found out that tho minute mentioned was the minute of a year. In tho old sexagesimal division, the sixtieth part of anything was oalled its minute; the sixtieth part of tho minute was oalled the second, and so on. Thus, the minute of a year Is a little more than six. days; tho minute of a mile upwards of 29 yards. Ia 1861 a certain Maurice Bresslus published his "Metrics Astronomloa," in whioh sineB ara sexagesimal represented. His radius was 60 degrees, and so his tine of 76 degrees 20 minutes was 68 degrees, 22 minutes, 57 seconds. The distinction between tho vero and the ben trovato made by the Italians is that of truth and good fiotitiouB description. Tho BtorleB of the two classes only differ in this, that the first often have an improbability whioh the Beoond dare not reach. The true stories of absent men cannot be exoeeded. We know the man who bas more than once or twice put on his spectacles to help him to look for them. We know the man who had forgotten the name of say A, and the first time he met a man who knew it, burst out with "I have forgotten A'sname; what is it?" Wo are inclined to believe, from the manner in which it first reached ns, the anecdote of Sir Thomas Strange, the Indian Judge, who found, on paying a visit, that his friend was not in, and that he had forgotten his own name. I'll call again; never mind my name. Sir I master always likes to know tho names of gentlemen who oall. Why, to tell the truth, I have forgottea my name. That's strange, sir. So it is, my man. You've hit it 1 and he west away, leaving the servant quite in the dark. But we suppose the fol-' lowing anecdote of Robert Simson must be ben trovato; though tho tradition is strong. Ho used to sit at his open window on the ground floor, as deep in geometry as a Robert Simson onght to be. Here he would be aooosted by a beggar: he would rouse himself, bear a few words of the story, make his donation, and dive. Some wags one day stopped a mendi cant one day on his way to the window with "Now 1 do as we tell you and yon will get something from that gentleman, and a shilling from ns besides. He will ask who yon are, and you will say Robert ciUBto), son of John Simson, of KirktonLill." The man did as he was told: Simson gave him a eoln and drop ped off. He soon roused himself and said, Robert Simson I son of John Simson, of Kirk tonhlll I why, that is myself t that man must bo an impostor I Lord Brougham gives this anecdote, with less detail than in the version reoeived by ns. Ehrenberg has communicated to the Academy of Sciences, Berlin, of whioh he ia a member, a short notice of tho specimens brought np from the sea-bottom by sound ings during tho North-German Polar Expedi tion of last season. The specimens are thirty nine in number, collected from latitude 73 degrees to 0 degrees north an area extend ing from the Bear Islands and beyond Spits bergen to the coast of Greenland. Six of them were taken, it appears, between 80 de grees and 81 degrees, and in longitude 13, 14, 15, and 16 degrees east from Qreenwioh. As regards depth, thirty-two of the specimens Were brouf ht rip from, less than, 100 fathoms, four from 135 to 170 fathoms, two from 140 to 250 fathoms, and one from 300 fathoms. This latter was in latitude 76 deg. 36 min. north, and longitude 15 degreeB 52 minutes East. These depths, though not great, have, as Pro fessor Ehrenberg remarks, the advantage of certainty, which cannot always be claimed for soundings at 1000 or 2000 fathoms. The scientific oharaoter and value of the speci mens have yet to be made out, and for this they must undergo a rigorous cleansing from the tallow of the sounding lead by whioh they were lifted. But after Ehrenberg haB had them under hia microscope, we shall not have loBg to wait for explicit information on these points; and further light will be thrown on the ques tion whioh, in his opinion, is tho most im portant of all, namely, whether the six olaases of microscopic creatures already desoribed in "Miorogdologie" are found unmixed or mixed with other, hitherto unknown, forms within the Polar Cirole r To obtain oonolusive proofs of the relations of organio life in its minutest forms throughout the globe would bo worth all tho cost and labor be stowed in obtaining them. Moreover, accord ing to tho nature oi the specimens brought np, whether fine or ooarse, siimv or powdery, will, as is thought, be the evidenoe of streams, swirls, or quietness in tho denths of the oo,nn. fchould Mr. Petermann and his friends attempt another expedition in the coming summer, it ib to ue nupea inej wm reiy more on the dredge than on the soundine-lead for speci mens from the bottom. Taken in oonneotlon with the results obtained by the expedition under Drs. Carpenter and Wvvilla Thomson (an interesting report of whioh has been printed in the "Proceedings of tho Royal So ciety"), a higher value attaches to the sped- mens uioogui nome vj tne vterman tzpe- GENT.'S FURNISHING GOODS.
