Tuition S'N LIFF. TA Kim s.—The sultan had neither
much majesty nor cleanliness of appearance : he came
to 800 Khaloom's tent, accompanied by six or seven
Tihboos, some of them really hideous. They take a
quantity of snuff both in their mouths and noses their
teeth were of a deep yellow ; the nose resembles no-
thing so much as a round lump of flesh stuck on the
face ; and the nostrils are so large that their fingers
go up as flir as they will reach, in order to ensure
the snuff an admission into the head. My watch,
compass, and musical snuff-box created but little as-
tonishment ; they looked at their own caws in the
bright covers, and were most stupidly inattentive to
what would have excited the wonder of almost any
imagination, however savage.--Denham and Clap-
perton's African Discoveries.
