Tn. nronIeeys At Home /.

Mr.. Verne in his narrative Of nn expeditionto ex.
explore the upper Nile, gives the following amusing
account Of the monkeys on Its banks:
The trees and branches preventing our vessels from
lying alongside the bank had myself carried through
the water TO examine The country and get some
shooting. But could not make up my mind to
,ise my gun the only animals 10 aim 81 being large
long-taiied, silver-grev npes. ] had shot one on
former occasion, and The brute had greatly ex-
cited my compassion by his resemblance TO n hui
man being and BY his piteous gestures. Mr.. Ar
nond on the contrary, took particular pleasure In
making the repeated observation that, on the APP
proach OF death, the gums of these beasts turn white
like those Of dying man. They live in families oil
several hundred together and their territory Is very
clrcumscribed, even in the forest as myself SUISSE
quenty ascertained. Although fearful of water, and
swimming iinwngly, they always fled TO the bran
ces overhangng the river and not lnfreaucntly fell
In. When this occurred their first care on emery.
ing was TO wipe the water from their face and ears
However imminent their danger only when this
operation was completed did they again climb the
trees. Such monkey republic is really a dro
enough sight; Its members alternately fighting and
cnressing each other, conibing and vernin hunting
stealing, and boxing each others ears, and In the
midst OF all these Important occupations, running
down every moInent 10 drink, but contentng them
selves with single draught, for fear Of becoming
mouthiul OF the wachful crocodile. The tame mon
Keys on board vessels turned restless AT the sight
o. the Joyous yagabond life OF their brethren in tho
woods.
