' THE UNICORN. THE existence or this animal has afforded so much occasion for conjecture and contrariety of opi nion among Natural Historians, that- our Readers will no - doubt be gratified in knowing what is said On the subjett by -Mr. BAKR:ovv, a very intelligent and a very judicious .Traveller, who: seems at all times likely to be led by-common sense, as well as a- spirit of - Philosophy, between the extremes of scepticism and credulity. " We still continued' our search in the kloofs of the mountains, 'in the hope of meeting with the 'figure of the Unicorn, the peasantry being equally: sanguine to convince me of the truth of tbeir asser tions, as I was to gratify curiosity. ,We came, at length, to a very high and concealed kloof, at the head of which was a deep cave coVered in front by thick shrubbery. .One of _the party mounted up the--steepdtiscent, and having made his way through the close brushwood, he gave us notice, that the sides of the cavern were covered with'drawings.— Afteeclearing away the bushes to let in the light, and examining the numerous drawings, some of Which were tolerably well executed, and others ca ricatures; part of a figure was discovered, that was certainly intended as the - representation of a beast with a single horn projeOing from the, forehead.— The body and legs had been.erased, to give place to the figure ofan elephant that stood dire4ly before it. " Nothing could be more mortifying than such an accident ; but the peasantry, , who could form no idea of the consequence I -attached to the drawing of such an - animal, ,seemed to enjoy my chagrin.' On being told, however, that a thousand, or even five thousand rix-dollars, would be given to any one who would f,roduce an original, they stood gaping with open mouths, and were ready...to enlist for an expe dition behind the Rambos-berg, where some of them were quite certain the hnimal was to be found.— Imperfed. as the figure was, it was sufficient to convince me, that the Eosjesmans are in the prac tice of including, among their representations of animals; that of an Unicorn ; and it also offered a strong.argument for•the existence of a 'living origi nal. Among, the several thousand figures of ani -, mats that, in the course of the journey, we had met with, none had the appearance of being monstrou s , none that could be considered as works of the im a . gination, " creatures of the brain ;" on the con ,trary, they wag generally as faithful representa tions of nature, as the talents of the. artist would allow. An instance of this appeared in the cavern we last visited. The back shell of the testudo gro- Wletrica was lying on the ground ; and the regular figures with which it is marked, and from which it takes its name, had been recently, and very accu rately,- copied on' the side of a smooth rock. It vas - thought, indeed, from several circumstances, that' the savages had slept in the cavern the prece ding night. 'The Unicorn, as it is represented in Europe, is unquestionably a work of fancy ; but it does not follow from thence, that a quadruped with one Min; growing out of the middle of the forehead, should not 'exist. •' The arguments, indeed, that Might be offered arc Much stronger for its existence than thc objc6lions Are apinst it. The first idea of; such an animal seems to have been.taken from Holy Writ ; and from the description there given, a: representation of the Unicorn, very illy . * -cori eeived, has been assumed as .a supporter to regal arms. The, animal, to which .the writer of the Book of Job, who was no mean natural historian, puts into the mouth of the Almighty a poetical al lusiOn, has been supposed; wi t h gre a t p l aus ibili ty, to be the one-horned Rhinosceros. " Canst thou bind the Unicorn with his band in the furrow ? or will' he harroW. the "vallies-. after thee ? Wilt thou trmt him, because his strength is great, or wilt thou leave thy labour to him Moses also very probably meant the Rhinosceros, when he mentions the-Unicorn as having the strength of God. - 'Aris rode had a very different idea of the• animal, to which he gave the name of Unicorn, for he de. scribes it as a species of wild Ass,. with solidunga. ions feet. " The African Rhinosceros having invariably - two horns, cannot be supposed as the prototype of the Bosjcsmans' paintings of the Unicorn. Besides, the former frequently occurs among their' produc tions, and is represented as the thick short.legged figure that it really is, whilst the latter is said by the peasantry to be uniformly met with as a solid ungulous animal resembling the Horse, • with an elegantly shaped body, marked from the shoulders to the flank with longitudinal stripes or bands. The greatest number of such drawings are said to be met with in the Bambos_berg ; and, as the people who make them live on the North side of this great chain of mountains, the original may one day, perhaps, be also found there. " This part of Africa is as, yet untrodden ground, none of the peasantry",having . proceeded beyond' the mountains. It may be said, perhaps, that if such an animal existed, and was known to the natives inhabiting h. part of the Country,. not very distant from the borders of the Colony, the faet:yould certainly before this time. have been al- certained. This, however, does not follow. Very few or the Colonists have crossed the Orange River, or have been higher along its banks, than the parr where we were under thc necessity of turning off to the Southward ; and the sort of communication that the peasantry have with the Bosjesmans, is not that nature to supply much information respea in& the'CoUritry they inhabit.. The m out h o f t h e b - - Orange River is much nearer to the Cape than the plains behind the Kafrer mountains ; yet it was but the other' day, that _the existe nce - ,of the Camel°- •. pardalis was ascertained near the former pl ace , thOugh•nii savage nation, .but a civilized-tribe of .... “ lici i entots only, intervened.., . Certain' animals, as *ell as plants,corifirre, themselves to certain dis tries of ,the same, Country, The .animal above_ mentioned, was never known to have pdssed the .. . . . 41 ' 7This adverb is ,riot used ; and why is the assertion rrlaflej it is there coneeiveci,asli-beautilul Horse, with a.horn ; .and it it 56 described; with only the' addition of strip;:s, in the. very next paragraph, and afterwards from Lobo. - • - • L NDQN z PRinte s t 13}r . 13U CITA NAN : INI‘ALILL., (of Bo‘v-st,:•::: - , cvv,cl4-(;.ii . ,lcri); and i'L , b;islied by WILLIAM Aim GER SCRIPPS (of Horse-arry-road; Westminster); At the 'Su N. 6 y F!CE; &C) . .

Orange .Riv e rs' , It wiwici Apptar, also, -that- in Northern Africa, it has its limited range ; for, since the time of Julius. Cesar, when one was publicly exhibited in Rome, it had been lost to Europe till within the preseim Century. The accounts given of it by ancient writers were looked upon as fabu lous. The Gnoo is found only in certain parts of Southern Africa and the blue AntelOpe (the leu cophxa) which confined itself to the banks of one small river in tht vicinity of Zwellendam, is now entirely lost to the Colony. The Springbok, seen in the Northern parts in troops of thousands, never made its appearance in any part of the dis trid of Zwellendam. " The Bosjesmans haVe no knowledge of any doubts concerning the existence of such an animal as the Unicorn ; nor' do they-seem - to think there is any thing extraordinary that a beast should have one horn only. The Colonists take it for granted, that such an animal exists beyond the limits of the „Colony. Father Lobo, in his History of Abyssi, nia, describes the Unicorn as a beautiful Horse •but Father Lobo was considered as a person worthy ; `of litfle credit, because he related things that were new. A modern Traveller thtough the sari* Conn try, in detailing some of the same circtimstance - s touched upon by the foriner Writer, has met with no, better success. • The schooled mind is' apt to feel a propensity for rejet;ting - every thing new, unless conveyed to it through the channel of de. ,monstrative evidence; which, On all occasions, is not to be obtained . ; .whilst, on the other hand, credu_ . lity swallows deception in every flimsy covering. The one . is, perhaps, equally liable to shut out • truth, as the,other is to imbibe falsehood. Nature's wide domain is too varied to be shackled with 'a syllogigm. What Nations, what Animals, what Plants, and other natural produelionsi may yet be' discovered in the unknown parts of the Globe, - a man, who has studied Nature in the closet only, .would hardly be Apposed, presumptuous enough to form a conjeaure ; yer such 'is the bias that th 2 reputation -of a name begets With the multitude, that the verdift .of' half a dozen generafly decide's the question."
