TIE MBINGA TRIBE.

FEBRUARY p, 1870.
The " Bnga tribe live next to the Mpongwe north
Of the equator. Their language is different from th&
Of the MpongE6 people and their features also 10
civilization they little below the Mponwe, having
less intercourse with tie whites.
Each Of their villages has It's chief or king, VINO dos
not possess much power; his influence being principally
coIfned to the people Of his village. L. you'd be
dangerous for vessels to ashore in some parts Of
Heir country, FOL they would be liable to be pundered
But often the natives kept from doing that through
fear Of the menofwari for they say men-ofwar speak
very loud and very far meaning by that that they
send cannon-bals to great distance. But many Of
her people have begun to get acquainted with The
vhtes and seeing that it is for their advantage 70
treat Il IN well, they DO so eagerly.
Tie MBirga are essentially a commercial people,
and their love ofrade passes almost all bounds. lhsH
country is well adapted to commercial pVsut'; Two
large rivers water 1.-THE Moondah, and the Man,
Danger River. These rivers are navigabe for vese"
OF large size to a certain dstance. Their banks arc
covered with majestic forests, and some Oh 'ne1
woods, with other African produce objects Of coz
siderable trade.
In every town you see some Of their people wa@I

In writing this for thee;
No other subject eer can give
SO great JOY 10 me.
What nobler theme could thought afford
Than that which sneaks office
All, nonel then belive this word
love to write Of thee.
j love to think that God has given
To you, in his rich grace
heart that's warmed by rays from hesven-

I've read II in thy daTk brown eve
Which says tbs truth lives here
I've seen il in thy manly brow
Dyes, I've read it these.
Thy noble heart doth ever glow
With generous feelings sway
Which ages yet unborn shall know
When thou hast passed away.
Yet many are thy frienil cares
Which thou for men hast given,
And oh, may many grateful prayers
Ascend for thee to heaven.

0n bright sunny morning, early in Feb
ruary, 1896, says Thomas, in his Reminis
cences, might have been seen entering my
bookstore in Charleston, s. c., fine looking
fiorid complexioned old gentleman, with hair
white as snow, which, contrasted with his own
complexion, show cd him to have been n free
liver, a bon UIUant Of the first order Along
with hiIa was q tall, gawky looking, faxen
haired STRIPPING, apparently of the age from
sixteen to eighteen, with q complexion OF
good parchment color, beardiess chin, and as
much assumed sclf-cOnsequence as any two
footed animal / ever saw. This was John
Randolph 1 handed him from the shelves
volume after volume which he tumbled care
lessly over, and handed back again. Atlength
he hit upon something that struck his fancy
My eye happened to be fixed upon his face at
the moment, and never did l witness so sud
den, so perfect change of the human cOun
tenance. That which before was dull and
heavy, in a moment became animated and
flushed with the brightest beams of intellect
He stepped up to the old gray headed gentle
man, and, giving him a laundering slap on
the shoulder, said "Jack, lock at this"' L
was young then, but L never can forget the
thought that rushed upon my mind at the mo
ment which was that he was the most impu-
dent youth 1 ever saw. He had come TO
Charleston to attend the races. There was
then living in Charleston a Scotch baronet by
the name OF DIT JOHN NcspitJ
brother Alexander, of the ancient house of
Nesbit, of Dean Hall, some fifteen miles from
Edinburgh. Sir John was very handsome
man. and as GO gallant gay Lothario" as could
be found in the city. He and Randolph be-
came intimate, which led to banter between
them for a race, in which each was to ride his
own horse The race came off the same week
and Randolph won some of the ladies ex
exclaiming as the time, . though Mr.. RAN
dolph had won the race, Sir John had won
their hearts," This was not so much TO be
wondered at when you contrasted the elegant
| and graceful style of the baronet with the un-
couth and awkward manner Of his competitor.
"Who do you think met under the gallery
of the House of Commons 2" said Jonn ran
dolph to gentleman, :" You cant cant. sSsss Ssp,
and SO I'n tell you. There was spruce, aapS
mar IittIa oentjeman sitting next t. me, ana

Piled. We then entered into conveasaIt i.sn sai

CHEAP MODE FOR PUTrISG UP FRUIr.-Take
earthen stone jars, holding from a quart to a
gallon, narrow mOuthed, if possible, aud bring
from the corner of the closet old sugar bowls
and pitchers, which have, perhaps, a handle
or nose broken of, but are in the main body
sound, place them in hot water and let them
get hot, then melt in a pan one ounce Of bees
wax, two ounces of shellac and eighteen ounces
of rosin; have your stewed fruit ready as di-
rected for the psns, pour il boiling into the
jar, lay piece Of writing paper fitted to tho
edge of the jar on the fruit, dip piece Of old,
but still good muslin cloth in the hot cement
and put it over the mouth Of the jar quickly,
the cemented side next the fruit; when well
done the cloth will sink in little, which proves
that the air is all expelled ed.-SOiIofthe South.

TIE LAW OF SLoPEs.-In France, the high
roads must not exceed four degrees forty six
minutes, by law; in England, four degrees,
or one foot rise in thirty-fve A slope of IF
teen degrees is extremely steep, and one which
one cannot descend in a carriage. A slope Of
thirty seven degrees is almost inaccessible on
foot, if the bottom be a naked rock or a turf
two thick to form steps The body falls back
wards when the tibia make. a smaller angle
than forty three degrees with the solo of the
foot-fOrty two degrees being the steepest slope
that can be climbed on foot, in a ground that
is sandy When the slope is forty -four de-
grees, ii is almost impossible to scale it, though
the ground permits the forming of steps by
thrusting in the feet. 4 slope Of ffty Eve de
grees is to man inaccessible.

DENTAL ITEMS Dead Enplishmen's teeth,

DENTAL ITEMS Dead Englishmen's teeth,
collected on the battle folds in the Crimea,
are now in great demand by the London and
Paris dentists. The price Of human ivory has
huctuated greatly, recently, owing 10 the
quantities Of deceased soldiers masticators put
into the markets. 1t is stated the idea first
entered the heads Of some Londoners to send
voyaging clerks to the seat of war in search of
teeth. The harvest was good one apparently,
and promises to yield remarkable price, ss
connoisseurs vaunt thesuperiority Of English
men and Highlander's teeth over all others
the Goldstream chaps particularly had IA
mously garnished jaws, and it may be CON-
fort to their departed spirits TO see at least one
portion of their mortal selves take the journey
back to London to be polished and soisne in
the kindest manner.
