The practical arts of spinning and weaving
cotton seem to exist in Africa precisely where
they were left by the Egyptians three thousand
years ago. DR., Livingston eays the mode Of
spinning and weaving in angola, and indeed, in
south Central Africa, is so very like that Of the
ancient Egyptians, that n wood cut from Wilkn'

OF IT, This fact is suggestive Of the great problem
OF Egyptian civilization. Was the interior of AT

improvements, bring the early arts here? Such

Mr. Lincoln must be pronounced the winner
of whatever laurels belong TO this unrivaed

Douglas abilities, especially for this sort of

sidered that Mr.. Lincoln to be either very
rash or happily obtuse man. Certain il is
that the Eastern politicians or statesmen are
very few indeed who could 60 through po-
pular canvass face 10 face with Mr.. Douglas
and come out with credit. But Mr.. Lincoln
does this, and more too. He beats Mr..

has q much greater fertility of resources.
