MoHAMMEDANIsM IN WESTERN AFRICA.

A French resident upon the Cazamancc, In Western
Africa states that since 1890 religious war has been
uging In which the Futa-Dj at the insugaton oil
the Mohammedan Mandngoes, have enslaved the hea-
thsnsh Mandngoes and intend TO extend tho area OF
their Kingdom to the They have sent acquisitions
Of tribute to several European tradng-houses in the
country. The whole region was appalled, at the rumors
Il their terrible valor At first the heathenish MaAdin'
goes sought to make stand against the onset but they
scattered by the Fdta Djacs who retain posses
sion Of the whole Msndingo country, excepting few
villages near the French fort Sedhiou Before their ar
rival no Mohammedan village was palisaded or de-
Tended The pagan inhabitants OF any district had
generally only one two family names, which
we're universal Among the Mohammedan inhabi-
,ants each had his peculiar family name; 30 that,
apparently the country Of the Pagans was inhao'ted
ty many families under head and did not extend
while the Mohammedan region was recruited by num-
bers attracted TO trade for amules, &c. OF the Moham-
medan faith Thus they increased and extended, and
this is the general method of the advance of Mshomets
religion in the interior of Africa The FutaDaos have
been hong of that faith and now masters OF all their
Acknowledgement They have extended the villages OF
the faith and destroyed those Of the heather Upon
the banks Of the San Domingo Rio Celia there are null
ttudes Of Mohammedans but dependent upon the San
nques Psgsns Yet all the people brought In contact
with the Mandingoes gradually assume their customs
and language, and finally entirely mingled with
them. So the nation accumuates its numbers at
the expense of the neghborng tribes and so the faith
spreads IL noticeable that this faith is propsgated
BY avarice and not by desire OF proseytism. The

threatened unless the orthodox Mandngoes paid heavy

races spread along the coast will disappear before

Array OF LlGHT.-The King of Ashante

an African Kingdom, has sent his son to the school
Of mines at Freiburg. If the youth really studies
and returns to his native land, rich in knowledge
and sympathy with civilization, how much more
profoundly honored will be the royal name than if
he had led expeditions to a new Ell Dorado. If
the African Princes could by any means be enlist
ed in the efforts to unravel the mystery of their
country, the task would be wonderfully lightensd
