7 IBlPoRTAGT DISCOVERY IN AFRICA An
English traveller, Mr.. L. ]. Hutchinson, mar
rates, in the pages of a London magazine,
the incidents Of 9 journey to Great Batanga,
rareiy-visited negro province on the Blight
of Biafra, whose inhabitants have acquired
an enviable notoristy along the West African
coast by refusing to hold slaves themselves
or to assist in any way the barbarous slave
traders. Arriving from Fernando Pc at the
harbor Of Batanga, he thus describes the
scene which greeted him: SAT adistaace of
what appeared to be about ten miles toward
the interior, stands the Manga mountain,
which is marked in the Admiralty chart as
l,f07 feet in hight but to which no name is
given. Elevations Of high ground, some of
pinnacled or sugar-loaf form, others of a
different shape, rise all around, as far as the
eye can reach while falling over broad
precipice in three different streams, appears
the white foam of the tumbling cataract of
Lobe River The author subsequently
visited this picturesque waterfall, known as
the Cataract of the Batanaga, whose differ
ent cascades are separated from each other
by insular and tree. covered rocks, Tho
country IN the neighborhoOd Of Batanaga Is
comparatively free from coast fever, aud
is destitute of the miasma- breeding man
grove fores which line the shores to the
north and south of it.

GARIBALDrs FREE PUBLIc-IxsPRUuTIo
MoyEMENT.-The Neapolitan correspondent
of the London AtheReum states that the
movement commenced by Garibaldi, in be-
half of free public instruction, is rapidly
progressing. His Majesty, in a letter adj
dressed to the Lieutenant General, a few
days since, expressed strong desire to con-
cur personally in the promotion of this great
work, and contributed 100000 francs from
his. privy purse for this purpose. In the
month of January four gratuitous evening
schools will be opened for the adults of the
poorer class, in which they will be taught
reading, writing, arithmetic, science, draw
ing, and their civil and religious duties.
Out of the royal fund, $4,000 francs will
be contributed for the Institution of these
schools. The municipality are charge with
the providing localities, and all ulteFior ex-
penses for their maintenance will be betrayed
out of the city funds. A commission is to
be established, in conjunction with the
municipality, to make provision for the es-
tablishment of these schools; to procure
subscriptions from private citizens; to pro-
pose regulations, and the means of assuring
the future existence of these asylums, and
their introduction into all the Neapolitan
Provinces.

PECULIAR CUSTOMS OF SPANISH TRADEsMEE
SEvENTY-TIvE YEARS AGo.-If go into a
booksellers shop, said Lord Auckland, in
his Journal and buy ten or twelve books
no inducement will make him send them
home; and he will rather return my money
to me. If servant is sent to buy twelve
pounds Of sugar. the woman of the shop
says; "Have you brought some thing to put
it into2" If the servant answers "No," she
quietly puts the sugar away, and wishes you
a good morning, for it is not her business to
furnish paper; and this same indifference
goes through every branch of trade. A serV-
ant carried a slipper to be mended; the
shoemaker told him that it was his business
to make and mend shoes and nothing would
induce him to touch the slippers; and the
staymaker employed for the children refused
10 alter some stays made for them at Paris;
he said, that as he had not made them it was
not his business to mend them.
lfyou want a lookipg-glass, you must buy
the plate of st. Ildefonso, you must next
send it 10 one part of Madrid to be silvered,
and then to another part to be framed, and
to another to be gilded. All this trouble is
given TO you with perfect civility, and by
poor creatures who are in extreme want of
money, which they will not take, because
they will not go one step out of the beaten
track; and the consequence is, that a great
part Of the business is done by bad manufac-
turers here, for the prejudices are such that
the Protestents have little encouragement.

A. NOyeIist's Picture OF Politicians of the
Present Day.

Present Day.
The conduct of some of our politicians re-
minds US of scene in Smolletts Peregrine
Pickle. "Peregrine" had become member
of political club, which was composed of
violent enthusiasts:
In one of their nocturnal deliberations he
promoted such spirit of good fellowship
10y the agreeable sallies of his wit, which
were puTposely leveed against their political
adversaries, that by ten o'clock they were
all ready to join in the most extravagant
proposal that could be made. They broke
their glasses in consequence of his sugges-
tion, drank healths ont of their shoes, caps,
and the bottoms of eandlesticks that stood
before them, sometimes standing with one
foot on chair, and the knee bent on the edge
of the table; and when they could no longer
stand in that posture, sitting bare on the
cold floor.
They huzzaed, hallooed, danced and sung,
and, in short, were elevated TO such pitch
of intoxication that when "Peregrine' pro.
posed that they should burn their periwigs,
the hint was Immediately approved, and
they executed the frolic as one man. Their
shoes and caps underwent the same fate by
the same instigation; and in this trim he
led them forth into the street, where they
resolved to compel every body they should
find To subscribe to their political creed, and
pronounce the shibboleth Of their party.
In the achievement of this enterprise they
met with more opposition than they expected;
they were encountered with arguments
which they could not well withstand the
noses of some and the eyes of others in a
very little time had the marks of obstinate
disputRtion.

AuAmerican Authors Estimate of Byron's
Genius and R1isfOrtunes.

AuAmerlcan Authors Estimate of Byron's
Genius and H1isfOrtunes.
George Bancroft, the historian, says in
recent article on Byron:
In estimating his rank among poets, it
must be remembered that he died at thirty
six; at an age when Milton had not pro-
duced bis epic when Dryden's genius had
given imperfect evidence Of his great powers;
when Scott had become known only by his
" Lay of the Last Minstrel;" when Schiller
had not produced the magnificent dramas
that axe his crowning glory; when Goethe
had not written his" "1pbigenia," or "Tasso,"
or Faust" And Byron's mind, like Schil-
!er's, needed time to purify its passions and
clear itself of imperfections. -.-...
But the lot of Byron has been hardest of
all. His wife, against the first advice of her
counsel, insisted on a separation from him,
refusing to attempt to cherish in him the
better life which might still have risen up !;
his chosen friend, to whose fidelity he en-
trusted with touching earnestness the de-
fense Of his good name, accepted money from
his enemies to burn the carefully-prepared
memoir that he prepared for posterity he
would willingly have made sacrifice of
himselfto give liberty and unity to Italy, but
the ill-preparedness Of her sons shipwrecked
his hopes to Greece he devoted his fortune
and his life and died before he saw her
emancipation secured.
Sorrow seemed to claim him as her own,
and to give him no compensation but the
power of expressing sorrow as no other En-
glish poet has done. His best thoughts were
wrung from him by emotions of ex-
cessive grief His genius, like the light
ming, wrapped its brilliancy in the dark
ness of the blackest clouds; but though
he called himself a misanthrope, he
melted at the sight of distress was ever
ready to help the poor and the suffering with
his purse and his sympathy, and spoke and
acted and died for the liberties of mankind.
In his poems, he was not so much the rep
resentative of his native country, as of the
state of the European mind in his time yet
even in Britain he takes rank as the first En-
glish poet of this century, while on the con-
tinent that rank is awarded to him without
a peer. In America, his popularity has de-
clined less than in England; but it is the
renovated nation of the Greeks that fervently
cherish his memory, and the unselfsh mar
tyr to their independence.

A SMART SoE OF THE SEA.-A smart son
Of the sea-a stormy, stalwart sailor-says
that so many sea words are spelled with an
IS" at the start, that be sat:down to see how
many he could set in one sentence, and he
soon scared up two score, and he might have
secured sixty if he had studied steadily six
Or seven seconds more;
"The scow and shallop slowly swim upon
the sound, and sink when scuttled; while the
skiff, the smack, and slight sail-beat are
sculled and skim along the surging straits;
and some times in a spray, scud or squall,
strike the sandy, shelly shore, and are
svamped in the seething surf But the
stately ship and the smoking steamer, the
sloop and schooner, sail securely on the
smooth surface Of the salt sea, steered by the
strong seamen.n .LLL \.

ANY THING IN REAsoE.-When the United
States Army started for Utah there was a
scarcity of transportation, or, in other words,
there were too few baggage wagons. Now
every soldier knows how like the apple of
ones eye are these same baggage e-wagons,
drawn as they are by six mules, on the long
marches across the plains.
A colonel of dragons, who had command
of one of the columns, restricted the officers
very much in their allowance of baggage,
and was most bitter if any one tried to ex-
coed the just amount
One morning the colonel met one of fAis
captains Ia dragoon, Of course) when he
burst out as follows:
Captain, do you know what these artil-
lery officers want to take across the Plains?"
'No, colonel, l do moi" said the captain,
with an inquiriDg look. at ys
"Well," said he, "if you'll believe me,
there's one of 'em wants to take across a box
of books fA d -h..a
"Booksp' exclaimed the captain; "what
next wonder Now, colonel, have but
little to take across myself-nothing, in fact,
but barrel of whisky"
''Of course, captainI of course; any thing
in reason, any thing in reason; but the idea
of carrying a parcel of books across that
stretch is a little more than can stand"

Extraordinary Case of Bliudness and
T,unoev


A highly interesting paper was read at the
last sitting OF the Academy Of Medicine of
Paris, by DR.. BouissOn, on q curious case of
blindness and lunacy in the same individual,
in which the cure Of the former infirmity
had brought on the eyre ofthe latter. About
q year ago a man of about fifty was brought
to the hospital. His eyes were found to be
both affected with cataract, aud his incohe-
rent answers to the Questions addressed to
him sufficiently revealed his state of mind.
An operation being resolved I1pon, Dz.
Bouisson ordered the patient to be chlorO-
formed; but although he was thus effeetually
sent to sleep, the danger of his awakening
hopes of the surgeon by some act of in
subordiRation, induced Or. Bouisson TO have
him secured with a straight waiscoat--apFe-
caution which was continued after the
operation had been successfully performed
an attendsat being specially entrusted with
the care Of the lunaac with orders to apply
congresses stepped in cold water on his eyes
from time to time. On the tenth day the
patient, who, until then, had not the least
idea of what bad been done, Yves allowed to
see the light.
A stupid smile cleaned on his face for an
instant, and he exclaimedt-"I can see IT,"
He was daily subjected to those trials W hich
were requisite TO ascertain the complete sue
cess of the operation With his recognition
of the objects around him. his mental facul-
ties seemed also to revive. First, he named
the things he wanted, and stretched out his
hand for them then he began to appreciate
distances and dimensions correctly; his
memory returned next with considerable
rapidity; and in the course ofa few days in,
tellectual spontaneousness began to manifest
itself.
He asked for more food, wanted to get up
from his bed, and desired to be allowed to
go home, which boon, however, was refused.
His ideas soon became clearer, his speech
more intelligible, and his recollections ofth
time when he could see before he was at
tackled with cataract became brighter. Vain
endeavors, nevertheless, were made to ascer-
tain the period when he lest his reason all
he could state was that he had been blind
three years. After a. stay of six weeks at
the hospital, he returned home, enjoying
both his eyesight and intellectual faculties.

PATENT FOR ENAMELISe ON GLAss.-A
Philadelphian secured patent last month
for the invention of an enamel-colo print
on mica or glass. Mica or crystal plates are
smianth rendered transparent enamel by
bathing with solution of silicate of soda
put to high temperature. Prints executed
upon this preparation, through the light
change from the ordinary, and otherwise
poor-looking appearance, into the brightest
enamel tints; and, when executed upon crystal
for windows, lanterns, screens or gas shades,
the picture is stuck upon the enameled side
of the crystal plates, and the tissue coating
is washed off by chemical process, SO that
the naked picture remains affixed upon the
mica or glass.
