/" Has she many cows 2"


A question / really could never answer; and
when | mention the fact that | have never seen
the Queen, they say
"Wbat sort of people must you be, never to
have seen your chiefH"
A great many other questions show the same
kind of ignorance respecting US. Many Euro
pean gentlemen have gone to that country to
hunt; but, as the Africans have no idea of
sport, they wonder to see gentlemen working
so hard for little dry antelope meat, and they
put the question to me
Have your friends no meat at homer"
Not wishing my friends to appear in such a
light, / say
=" These gentlemen could have beef every day
OF their lives, if they liked" but they reply to
me
"Ah, you know better" Laughter
When English people think about Africa,
they imagine that all the Africans are like the
specimens we have in front Of the tobaccouists'
shops. This is not the case at all. That is the
real negro type that is only to be found in the
lowest part of the population. The people
generally are not altogether black. Many of
them are olive color, or of the color of coffee
and milk, and usually the higher grades of
society are of this lighter color. imagine that
the type We gee on the ancient Egyptian monu-
ments is more near tie type of the central
population than the tobacco-shop variety.

THE SLEDGE DRIVE TO CHURCH.
A TALE OF NORWAY.

What q strange, wild country is old Norway
The brow of the earth, the forehead of the
world, as the Scalds of old loved to call it in
their songs. Even in the map, how singular is
that Jagged, furrowed, long coast line, stretch
ing above thousand miles, from the North
Cape with It's eternal ice, down to a genial lsti
tude of wheat lands aud flowers. On this vast
seaboard, water and land seem to have been
struggling for the mastery, till at last all was
amicably settled by division of the territory,
and the deep iords run miles inland, and the
steep promontories project far out into the
ocean. Truly it is beautiful country, with it's
great bosses of snow-felds, the long winnings
OF the lake-like fords, the roaring Foss, and the
endless pine forest. Then, too, what strange
sights meet the traveller: the midsummer
nights sun never setting, the months of dark
ness, the shepherds life in the Saeters, the
wandering nomade Laps, and their encamp-
ments, the bear hunts, and the Old World su-
perstitions and customs which linger in the Sc
cluded valleys.
Norway has still other and more important
claims to notice: it is one of those few and ia.
Vored countries where freedom is enjoyed, and
Tie hardy, prosperous peasantry are living wit
nesses Of the worth of its immemorial institu-
uons. Norway, also, was among the first to
shake off the errors of Rome, and to embrace
the doctrines of the Reformation. 1t is true
that rationalism and indifere nee have long
chilled the Christian heart of the country, but

sending warm streams of life blood to the ex
tremities Of the land.

NEW YORK STILL REPUBLICAN.
ALBANY, Nor. IA, 1857,

ALBANY, NOc. IA, 1897.
To the Editor Of the National Era:
The Republicans of New York have been
shamefully remiss in their duties. But they do
not admit that the State has yet receded from
its position as Republican State. The Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Senate, and AS
sembly, are Republican. The Democrats have,
by stolen march, obtained possession of a few
State offices heretofore held by the Know Moth
ings. This is the sum and substance of the
boasted victory.
As to the popular vote, it should be remem-
bered that the Democratic vote is scarcely in
creased, while the Republican vote has fallen
OF to the extent of its former majority. The
cities of New York and Brooklyn give 80 900
Democratic majority. Albany, Buffalo, Troy,
aud Rochester, some 10000 more. The rural
districts give 10000 Republican majority on
an exceedingly light vote.
The people in the country seemed to be par
alyzed by the hard times " and high taxes
Farmers passing by the polls with their teams
could not be persuaded to stop and VOTE Act
i've Republican electioneerers had been silenced
by disaster in their business affairs and men of
wealth were soured by their enormous tax bills
Perhaps the greatest force Of all used by the
Democratic party was the Liquor interest. The
liquor dealers were actively in the field, with
plenty of money, working to defeat the Repub-
lican party, while the Temperance men were
Quoted by the unsatisfactory character of the
license law passed last winter.
These are some of the causes of our partial
defeat. A little energy, however, could easily
have overcome them sill. B.
2. ST. see that correspondent calls in
question the statement of Judge Jay in relation
to the Church and Slavery. In this city there
are some thirty churches, and think not over
five of them are Anti.Slavery in their influence;
and my observation leads me to believe that a
similar ratio holds good in all the cities at least
in the State.

PROSPECTUS OF THE TWELFTH VOLUME,
BEGINNING JANUARY /, 1858.

The National Era is an incorporating
opponent of Slavery and the Slave Power; an
advocate of personal, civil, and religious hber-
ty, without regard TO race or creed; foe to all
secret combinations to control the ot-Box,
whether under the direction of priests or lay
men, and to all measures directly or indirectly
countensncing prescription on account of birth
place or religion; friend of Temperance, the
Homestead, and all reforms calculated to secure
to Labor its just consideration, recompense, and
political weight, and to Trade, its Natural Free
dom, in virtue of which every man has a right
to buy and sell in whatever market he pleases
1t regards Slavery, and the issues involved
in it, as forming the great Political Question of
the Day; taking the ground, that Slavery, from
It's necessities, instincts and habits, is perpetu-
ally antagonstic to Freedom and Free Labor,
and unchangeably aggressive; that its work
ings can be counteracted only by permanent
system of measures; and it therefore has sup.
ported, and will continue to support, the Re-
publican Party, so long as it shall be true to
Freedom, holding itself, however, perfectly in
dependent, at liberty to approve or condemn
whatever may accord or conflict with its oft
avowed principles.
1t presents weekly a summary of General
News and Political Intelligence, keeps q rec
ord of the Proceedings of Congress, and is the
repository of a large portion of the most i'm.
portant speeches delivered in that body.
Its Foreign and Domestic Correspondence is
carefully provided for, and its Literary Miscel-
lany, chiefly original, being supplied by many
of the best writer's of the country, makes il EN-.
phatically PAPER FOR THE FAMILY.
My subscribers have stood by the Era hand

that whatever the claims and merits of other
papers, the Era, in the face of imminent perils.
was the pioneer to Freedom of the Press IL this
slaveholding District, and has been for eleven
years the only journal at the seat of the Fed
eral Government, representing the sentiments
of the Free States on the great Question of the
Country, the only journal through which their
loyal representatives in Congress could find
voice and vindication. They have not forgot.
ten, nor will they forget, that while papers en-
gagged in the same Cause elsewhere, have
strong local interests to rely upon, and the pa.
pers printed here, opposed to our Cause, thrive
through the patronage of the Federal Govern.
ment, the Era is uniformly prescribed by that
Government, and its legal right to official ad.
vertisements denied, while, 30 far from having
the support, it is constantly subjected to the
opposition, of strong local interests so that It's
only dependence is upon those enlightened
friends of Freedom, all over the country. who
appreciate the necessity of maintaining such q
sentinel on the outpost of Freedom.
