Equatorial Africa.

In recent address before the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement Of
Science, NJ. du ChalIu said Equatorial
Africa presented an impe1etrable jun
gle. A mountain range runs parallel
with the coast. Only two rivers come
from these mountains, and they unite,
and flowing into the sea, form there a
delta. But few beasts and fewer men
inhabit the belt of forest stretching
from the coast. The savage gorilla Is
there, however. The heat is not ex-
cessive. In open villages it was SO deg;
in the forests, from 20 deg to 80 deg
the heat being tempered by the mois-
tnre. The highest temperature he had
seen, in the sun, was IA deg. Itrains
at least 200 inches (O in the year. The
people live in tribes in the most simple
Innocence, but with a code of laws
founded on the ier tali0nis strictly car
ried out. They are Of course very su-
pcrstitious, and their belief in witch
craft is the cause of constant and in.
mense slaughter. POlygamy and the
slave trade are common 10 all the tribes,
and as there are no evidences of past
civilization to be seen, the conclusion
is that the negroes Of Africa are now
exactly what they were ages long gone
by. Or the west coast Of Africa no
single man is chief the tribe is divid-
ed into clans, and justice is administer
ed in sort Of republican manne-.
The elan is derived from the mother,
and this principle prevents the pre-
dominance Of the male line. There are
no cannibals among them. NJ. du
Challiu thinks the negroes will in time
all diappear from Africa, giving way
10 su e.ior races. ~

FROM MONTANA.



From tile LcaSenEnsth Conservative, Oct. 9.
The steamer LueIIa, from Fort Ben.
ton, arrived yesterday morning. having
as passengers a large number of min
.ers from Montana, who brought in The
aggregate perhaps over 81, 500 900 il
dust. Large amounts Of treasure were
shipped from Omaha and ST. Joseph
az which points maHg of the miners
disembarked, 90 that the Luella, fron
the mountains, may be said " have

ell started trom ess1r riesuIa not hay,
been less than $1,000 900 in the hands
of miners and other passengers. From
Mr.. G. J. Fredericks, one Of the lucky
ones, we have the following particular.
IN regard 10 mining operations IN Mon.
tana; n
From six claims, measuring 1,2Ol
feet front by 300 in depth, tho party
took out in two months over one mill.
ion OF dollars, and the claims arc said
to be as prolific to-day as when firsl
opened. The mines worked hy thi.
party-Messrs, Campbell, Scliinamon
Judson and Fredericks-are situated
about forty miles from Helena. and on
the north side Of the Missouri river
the place being known as the Montana
Bar. They bring down with them
now $4,000, only moiety Of the re-
suit of sixty days work on Montana
Bar.
We were shown By Mr.. Freleriehs
and his companions some of the finest
specimens of gulch gold ever taken
out. One nugget weighs 2t ounces
and is valued at about s605. Mr.
Fredcricks has several pounds of fcoarsc
gold, the nuggets vary ing in weigh,
from a peanyweight TO a pound
Phreo of the party exhibited fifty
buckskin bags, each containing 5000
worth of the dust. Mr. Frederick,
has brick Of solid gold weighing l96
ounces, and valued at about So 900 as
assayed in the Office in Helena.
When we consider the fact that this
single party has about half million
and that the passengers numbered
about three hundred, miners and mer
chants, we may approximate to some
thing like the value of treasure brought
down. General Doris, formerly OF
Platte county, had a lot on board
known among miners as the "Dorris
gold" which. from report, must be {
handsome amount.
Average wages in the mines are sly
dollars per day, though in some in
stances as high as fifteen dollars is paiC
for underground work. All kinds o
goods are reported in abundance, anC
at very reasonable rates, it being pos
sible to live passably mt the rate of 81
90 per day. Crops have been good
the ravages of the grosshoppers moi
having been as severe as was feared
The inference thcr, Is, from RESULT
daily placed before Us, that thc Mon
tana mines are as rich as any yet

One agen5 on the IuelIa is said tC

THE reports of the famine in India
especially in the region around Calcut-
ia are confirmed. The correspondent
of the London Times, writing from that
city on the llth of August SAYS "the
city was being so crowded with paupers
and a pestilence was so imminent, that
the municipal Commissioner and one or
two merchants organized committee,
and, on Monday last, public meeting
of all classes was held in the town hall
to raise subscriptions. Official reports
were read, giving statistics which,
completed to date, show that at twenty
two places Ii, ,475 poor are daily fed, in
addition to the sick in the hospitals,
and, as this number is increasing by
about 250a day, it may sHd that 20, eco
starving are now subsisting on charity
daily in Calcutta" ." Reports from Cut
tack and Blazore are even more appall.
ing Says the same authority; Think
of 100 dead bodies being picked up in
the streets of Balazpre in one morning.
The last return from Balasore shows
703 deaths in that one little station in
the week ending Saturday, the 2lst,
and if you treble that number for the
many who became the food of the jack
al and the vulture in the lonely jungle
or ditch you will not so beyond tho
sad truth. 1t is ominous that the
Board OF Revenue has ceased to report
deaths"

The Chicago Journal says that the
facts about the late frosts, as regards
their effect on the corn in Illinois, may
be briefly summed up thus: In the
Southern part of the State no damage
has been done to the crop; in the CEN
trail part tho damage has been but
slight and to the Northern part the
damage has been great, probably de-
stroylng, in the aggregate, about one
third of the crop.

A considerable number Of wealthy
former slave7owners have arrived at
Washington from the South, with the
intention of taking up their residence
north OF the Potomac. They repre-
sentthat the change in their labor sys-
tens and. the unsettled state of society
at the South since the war, promiseto to
make the section an undesirable place
to live for some years to come, and
that great numbers of the class to
which they belong are selling or leas-
ing their plantations and moving

A Washington dispatch to the Phila;:
dclphia ledger says: "Holders Of
the bonds of 1867 and 1868 can dis
pose of them at tho U. S. Treasury,
provided they are presented in sums
of $500, 600 and over, at the equivalent
Of ninety, (9O) per cent, on the dollar,
gold valuation. This is o virtual con-
tirmation of the recent report that the
Treasury was buying up the above
loans though it was donied, no doubt
by Interested parties, at the time.

tomatoes for supper.

Few people know how to prepare
uncooked tomatoes in the way adopted
in my family, and incomparably bet
ter than any mode | have ever tasted.
BY this mode they arc very desirable
for supper or breakfast. For Il family
of half dozen persons, take six eggs,
boil four of them hard, dissolve the
yolks with vinegar sufficient, add about
three teaspoons of mustard and mash
us soon as possible; then add the two
remaining eggs (raw) yolk and white,
stir we'll; then add salad oil to make
altogether sauce sufficient to cover the
tomatoes well; add plenty of salt and
cayenne pepper, and beat thoroughly
until it frosts. Skin and cut the toma-
toes full fourth Of an inch thick, and
pour the sauce over, you have dish
fit for n President.
Though q little troublesome to pre-.
pare, yet if once eaten by people who
are blessed with palates to enjoy good
things, they will be pronounced to be
far superior to any other mode of
preparation. We use them constantly
in this way for these meals, For din
ner they are best stewed, but they
should always be strained before send.
