thel: r' i i.
adveatcre is well told, and much
light is thrown en the fascinating
subject cf African travel:
'Before I sailed from England
over twelve hundred letter were re
ceived from general, colonels, lieu
tenants, midshipmen, engineers, com
missioners of hotels, mechanic), wait
ers, eoi.k, nr7atits, aad somebodies
aud nobodies, fpirituil mediums and
magoetizers, e:c , etc. They all
knw Africa, were perfectly acclima
tized, were finite sure they would
please me,, would do me" impor
tant services, gave me from any
number of troubles by their ingenuity
and resource?, take me np in balloons
or by flvinfr curriajzes, make us all in
visible by tbeir magic art?, or by the
' sciences of magnetism," would cause
all ea vases to fall asleep while we
might ps ajjwhere without trouble.
Indeed, I felt sore that, had mon
ey enough been placed at my dis -
posai at tr.at time, 1 might have led
5,000 Englishmen, 5,000. Americans,
2,000 Frenchmen, 2,000 Germans,
500 Italians, 250 Swiss, 200 Bulgari
ans, 50 Spaniards and 5 Qreeks, or
15,005 Europeans, to Africa. But
the time had not arrived to depopu
late Europe, and colonize Africa on
such a scale, and I was compelled to
decline accrptinjr the valuable serv
ices f the applicants, aud to content
mjfi It with Francis, Jt'fcn and "Ed
ward IVarock and Frederick Biker,
whone entreaties had been seconded
bv hi mitLer on my return from
Americi."
Nor did Stanlev's troubles in this
line euti here. Tbev fo!ied biro
persistency to Ziczibar.
I'ESERTIOSS.
But v,Li'i many were thus clamor
ous to go, n t a dw weakened after
tbey Lad c irted. To quite Stan
ley :
"Deferti ..a from tbe expedition
had been fei tj ipnt. At first Kache
che, the chitf detective, and his gang
of four men, wh had received ia
structioas to I il w us a day's jour
ney bi-hiuJ, er.a'. I.'d me t j recapture
six.eeo of the de.-t rters ; but the con
niving Wanywaria and Wanyamweyi
soon discovered tbi-i resource of mine
against their well k i own freaks, and,
instead of etrikiDif east in their de
parture, absconded either north or
south cf the track We then bad de
tectives posted long before dawn,
several hundred yards away from the
camp, who were bidden to be in wait
in the bush, until the expedition had
starter!, afid-ia tbi? anir we suc
ceeded in repreasiug to some extent
the disposition to desert, and arrest,
ed very many men on the point of
escaping; but even this was not ad
equate. Fifty had abandoned us be
fore reaching Mpwapwa, taking with
them the advances tbey bad received,
and of'.en their guns, on which our
safety might depend.
' Several feeble men and women
ais) bad to be left behind, and it was
ovidetit that the very wariest meth
ods failed to bind tbe people to their
duties. Tbe best of treatment and
abundance of pfc?isi.os dis'ributed
were alike insufficient to induce such
faithless nst ores t-.y be loyal. How
ever, we persisted, and so often as
we failed in one we tried another,
er. Had ali these men remained
Ioya! to their contrite", aad promises,
we would have been too strong fjr
any force to attack us, as our Lum
bers must necessarially have com
manded respect in lands among tribes
where onlv power is respected."
SKKS'ESS AND liEATH
Not only did desertion thin out tbe
little party, but starvation and sick
ness did their share in depleting the
ranks. In speaking cf the fight that
took place almost on the outset of
the journey, Stanley says:
"Oa the mo'ciag of tbe 24th we
waited patiently in our camp. Why
should we attack? VTe were watch
ed enough a3 it was without seekiog
to add to our wretchedness. We
numbered only seventy effective men.
for all the rest were invalids, fright
ened porters, women, donkey-boys,
an-1 children. The sick list was
alarmiug, but, try as we might, the
number was not to be reduced.
While we lived from hand to mouth
on a few grains of corn a day, our
plight ranst not only remain pitiable,
but become worse. We were there
fore in a mood to pray that we might
not be attacked, but permitted to
leave tbe camp in safety."
PANTOMIME.
Headers t f Irving's life of Colum
bus will remember how he procured
provisions from the Indians by pre
dicting an eclipse of the moon. Stan
ley describes here how he played
upon the cupidity of the negroes j
"We had received one banana and
a piece of- cassava. We had our
mouths and our stomachs with us.
An appropriate gesture with tbe ba
nana to the mouth, and a gentle fond
ling with a puckered stomach, would,
we thought, be a manner cf express
ing extreme want, eloquent enough
to penetrate the armored body of a
crocodile. We came opposite the vil
lage at thirty yards' distance, and
dropped cur fvtonc anchor, aud I
stood np with my ragged old helmet
oushed back far, that tbey might
scrutinize my face, and the lines cf
suasion be properly &een. With the
banana in one hand, and a gleam
ing armlet of copper and beads of
various colors in the other, I began
the pantomime. I once knew an id
iot in B.-usa. Asia Minor, who en
treated me tor a pera in much the
same dumb strain that I implored
tbe assembled hundreds of Rubunga
to relax that sullen sternness, that
oncompromiaing aspect, that savage
front, and yield to tbe captivating in
fluence of fair and honest barter. I
clashed the copper bracelets togeth
er, lovingly bandied tbe bright gold
brown of the 6bining armlet, expos
ed with all my best grace of manner
long necklaces cf brig it and clean
. , . ,, . . .
Cyprfea mone.la, and allured their at-
with beads of the brightest
colors. Nor were tho polished folds
of yellow brass omitted ; and
again the banana was lifted to my
open moaih. Then what suspense,
what pdtieute, what a saint like air
of resignation ! Ab, yes! but I
thick I may be pardoned for all that
pantomime. I h id a number of hun
gry, half-wild children ; and through
a cannibal world we bad ploughed
to reach these unsophisticated chil
dren oi nature.
A FIUIIT WITH TOE NAT1VIS
Many are the accounts of battles
and ekirmishes with which the pages
cf '-Through the Park Continent"!
are interlarded. We give as indie-1
ative cf a description of one fight,!
that belj tbe cjtilluetee of the Liv
iogstotie aad Aruwmi rivers :
"At 2 P. M . hera ded bv savssrei
savaze'
, . , . - ,..l
fehmita fcrtm tha wa&rt eiararm nrf-.,.h l
irom some cause or otner are unusu
ally exultant, we emerge out of the
shelter of the deeply-wooded banks
io. presence of a vast affluent, nearly
two thousand yards across at tbe
mouth. As soon as we have enter
ed its waters, we se a great con
course of canoes hovering about
some islets, which stud the middle of
the stream The canoe men, stand-
: - . l . . - . . i . -i
ug, give iuu buout as inej u.3-
cern us, and
blow their horns louder
! than
ever. We pull briskly on to
mil hrieblv nn frt
gam tbe right bank, and come in
view of tbe right affluent, when,
looking up tbe stream, we see a sight
that sends the blood tingling through
every nerve and fibre of the body;
arouses net only our most lively in
terest, but also our most lively ap
prehensions a flotilla of gigantic ca
noes bearing down opon us, whicb,
both iu siz? and numbers utterly
eclipse anything encountered hither
to ! Instead of aiming for the right
bank, we form in line and keep
straight down the river, the boat tak
ing position behind. Yet, after a
moment's reflection, as I note tbe
numbers of the savages, and the dar
ing manner of the pursuit, and tbe
apparent desire of our canoes to
absudon the steady compact line, I
give the order to drop anchor. Four
of our canoes affect not to listen, un
til I chase them and threaten them
with my guns. This compelled them
to return to the line, which is formed
of eleven double canoes, anchored
tea yards apart. The boat moves up
to the front and takes position fifty
yards above them. Tbe shields are
next lifted by tbe non combatants,
men women and children in the
bows, and along the outer lines, as
well as astern, and from be'uind these

"Our blood is up now. It ia a

turous ghouls who inhabit it. We,
therefore, lift oor anchors and pursue
them up stream along the right bank,
ontil rounding a point we see their
villages. We make straight for tbe
banks, and continue the fight in the
village streets with those who have
landed, hunt them out into the woods,
and there only sound the retreat,
having returned the darin? cannibals
tbe compliment of a visit."
TROUBLES OF TRAVEL
The dfficulties of travel that beset
the explorer are graphically related
in the following extract:
"Tbe constant slush and reek
which the heavy dews caused in the
forest through which we had travel
ed tho last ten days had worn my
shoes out, and half of the march I
traveled with naked feet I bad
then to draw out of my store my
last pair of shoes. Yet we were
still in the very centre of tbe conti
nent What should we Jo when all
were gone, waaaquestioa which was
asked cf each other often.
The faces of the people, Arabs,
Wangwana, Wanyamwezi and the
escort were quite a study at this
camp. All their courage was oozing
out, as day by day we plodded
through the doleful, dreary forest.
We saw pythons ten feet long.a green
viper, and a monstrous puff-adder
on this march, besides scores of mon
keys ot tbe white necked or glossy
black species, as also tbe small gray
and large howling baboons. We
heard, also, tbe "soko," or chimpan
zee, and saw one nest belonging to it
in tbe fork of a tall bombax. A le
mur was also observed ; its loud,
harsh cries made each night hide

armies of deep brown "hot-water"
ants compelled us to be cautiou? how
we stepped.
"Tne difficulties of such travel as
we had now commenced may be im
agined when a hort march of six
miles and a half occupied the twenty
four men who were carrying the boat
sections au entire day, and so fatig
ued them that we bad to halt anoth
er day at Wane-Kirumbu, to recruit
their exhausted strength.
"The terrible ondergrowth that

a hundred other varieties all strug
gling for every inch of space, and
swarming upward with a luxuriance
and density that only thi3 extraordi

TIIK MECHANIC ARTS IX AFRICA.
But not all of Africa is benighted,
as the following extract will show:
"At Wane-Kirumbu we found a
large native forge and smithy, whera
there were about a dcz?n smiths bus.
ily at work. The iron ore is very
pure. Here were the broad bladed
speers of Southern Cregga, aod the
equally broad knives of all sizes,
from the small waist-knife, an inch
and a half in length, to the beavv
Roman sword like cleaver. The bel
lows for the smelting furna"e are
four in number, double-handed, and
manned by fuur men, who, bv a
quick up-and-down motion, supply a
powerful blast, tbe noise of which n
heard half a mile from the scene.
The furnace cousis s of ramp -1 clay,
raised into a mound, ab ut t;nr foet

it, two feet in diameter a-id to feet

four apertures are ex:' vattd into

spikes, leglets, armlets, aud ir.in
beads, etc. The art of the black
smith is cf a high standard in the
forests, considering: the loneliness of
the inhabitants. The people have
much traditional I ;re, and it appears
from the immunity which they have
enjoyed ia theo dis-nal retreats, that
from one generation to another some
thing has been communicated aod
learned, showing that even the jun
gle ni".n is a progressive aod improv
able animal "
THE VILLAGE OF SKI LLS
We must cl-se the account with
the following, rela'iug to a village of
skulls :
"Tuo most singular feature cf Kani
pjrzi village was two rows cf skulls
ten leet apart, runuicg along tho en
tire leogth of tbe village, imbedded
about two inches deep in the ground,
the 'cerebral hemispheres' upppr
most, bleached and glistening while
from the weather The skulls were
1 SO ia number in this one village.
To me they appeared to be human,
though many had an extraordinary
projection of tbe posterior lobes, oth
ers of the parietal bones, and the
frontal bones were unusually low and
retiring; yet tho sutures aad the
general aspect of the greatest num
ber cf them were so similar to what
I believed to be human that it was
almost with an indifferent air that I
as.ked my chiefs and Arabs what
these skulls were. They replied,
'sokos' chimpanzees (?)"
The normoiKS
All cur young readers know well
the common mouie, and may have,
doubtless, seen the field mouse; but
the dormouse is probably known on
ly to a few. The shapo of the head
and body of this pretty little creat
ure, proves that tt ia tome relatiou
of the gray-coated pilferer from our
larders, but its somewhat busby tail
shows that it is also ikia to the nim
ble squirrel. Like the squirrel, the
dormouse has its home in cur ivoods
and thickets, but it is so sby and tim
id, that we arc not likely to sej it
unless we come upon it during its
long winter's sleep. The dormouse
is very small, its body beiug less
than three inches ia length, and its
tail about two inches and a half. Its
color is light reddish brown on the
upper parts, and nearly white on the
under. So rapid is it io its move
ments that the eye can pcarcelv fal
low it as is runa along tbe lower
branches of the trees, or leaps about j
among tbe grass and leaves u:nn
tbe ground. It feeds opon tuts,
acorns and grain, and like tbe squir
rel, it often takes its food between its
forepaws and sits upright to eat it.
A pretty, round nest of graes, wLh a
lining ot moss and lichens, is built by
tbe dormouse between tbe forked
branches of a low bub, or within a
hollow tree. In this it places a quan
tity of food, which it busily collects
during the autumn. When the cold
weather comes, it rolls itself into a
ball, by curling its tail over iis beid
between its ears, and falls iuto a deep
bleep. In this state it remains
through tbe greater part of tbe win
ter, only waking up now and then
when tbe weather is unusually warm,
and eating a small quantity from its
store of food. Creatures which, like
the dormouse, pass the winter in a
state of sleep or torpor, are cal'ed
hibernating animal.
Beauty is a summer fruit, fragrant
bat frail.
