ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

MANY years ago my occupation led me to
do business on thewest and east coasts Of
AFRICA. was there engaged largely ia
trade for some Of the heaviest houses in Eu-
rope, and the facilities, their credit and re-
spectability afforded, was such as to allow
Of series Of visits to the interior where the
subject Of electricity was awakened by the
excessive heavy storms or tornadoes daily,
throughout certain season, witnessed The
coast Of Africa is one Of the most pictoriul
probably in the world II is SO diversified
by mountains, glens, and rich Wales; and,
excepting the bold rugged shores Of the
great deserts that are contained on that con-
tinent, the rest Of the coast may be justly
styled as beautiful and imposing
Africa was held by the ancients as the
land Of sorcery and magic, their fertile i'm
aginations had filed portions Of il with
sprites, demons, myths, and monsters and
its huge reptalia gave, in measure, some
groundwork to their fears. There is a ira
dition that whole Roman army was totally
destroyed by enormous serpents !; and an
other, that whole nation were converted
into stone, as well as the entire lofty forests
that iVitheo ticti souiiti y Sluuucuf THAT Hc
scattered around. And some modern trav-
ellers have spoken Of these fables, even
going so far as to affirm they have seen por-
tons Of the country with the petrifed re-
mains Of trees and animals How correct
their assertions are, do not pretend to
know; but, upon the subject Of severe
electric storms, as peculiar to the entire re-
gion Of the African continent, am well
informed, both by most excellent eye wit
nesses, as well as personal repeated obser-
yations. And hesitate not to assert that no
location, throughout the globe, exceeds the
quantity of electric fluid dispersed by the
magnetic points Of the mountains, or genera
ted by the peculiar stages Of her atmosphere,
at certain periods. The tornado season is
the one which exceeds all other times in the
production Of lightning; and, so heavy and
rep ated are the flashes, that one can scarcely
be said to retain his vision during any mo-
ment Of the storm. This magno-electric
fluid is not unknown to the wiley priest or
Fetish men at Cape Palmas, who control
the poor natives Crew-men and Fishermen
through its mysterious aid and, as the
method Of their doing it, is unknown to me,
| will. simply relate the story Of their great
Fetish and Devil Cave, so terrific to all the
simple residents in that section.

Sing uI:lr Affair." Romance In Real

Truth, it is said, is stranger than nc
ton; aad the romance Of real life, when
all it's features are scrutinized, is more
fruitful Of wonder than half the stories
invented by the poet and novelist. The
affair to which we curiously alluded yes.
terday in our local news, under the head
of"Forgery," contains chapter of incl
dents so startling, that one can hardly
bring oneself to believe that they occur
red anywhere, much less in q business
community like ours. Here is young
lady, hardly out other teens, we are told,
who fabricates fortune for herself on
paper, imposes through the medium OF
her charms (that's not so very strange) on
a s,aid tradesman, to the extent OF in.
ducing him TO marry her, and, to cup the
climax, prevails on grave notary public
to undertake the collection Of the $4,000
dowry she possesses, as ifit we're a sim
pls apothecary's or undertakers bill, to
be paid at sight, unheSitatingly, by the
renerous donor Of this round sum.

members at Frankfort to discontinue

that the resolution Of the Central Diet.

the Hungarian, Bohemian and Italian
