Now other men than sarans are brought into
contact with the Nile-dscovering business, they
are beginning to take OF its halo "Er Me nihH
Gt'' is perhaps however, too hasty a decision.
We, for our part, should look at it in this light.
There is no difficulty in travelling in Africa, and
finding ones way about even alone and without
resources; that is clear. On the other hand, there
is great deal to be got by the enterprisng. Ivory
is not difficult to obtain than rotten Old wood.
We shall think nothing therefore, Of the enterprise
OF our young men of the day who are signing for an
opening TO obtain wealth TO crown their wishes,
and who. with few thousands, could call
the girls OF their hearts their own, If they
do not If only provided with half a hundred
each, club together in company ana win the wealth
OF Africa. Africa may he TO many new India. IL
must he Jolly life also. Livingstone thinks so,
and for those who have no such love ties at home
his rhapsody about the bellies Will be quite exciting.

Ngombe by name would be esteemed real
beauty either in London, Paris or New York and
yet she had small hole through the carthage, near
the tip OF her fine slightly aonine nose. But she
had only filed one side OF the two front OF
her superb snow-white teeth; and then what
laugh she had Let those who wish to
know go and see her carried to her farm
in her pony phaeton, which isl sort OF throne
fastened on two very long poles, and carried by
twelve stalwart CltZens.r By all means do 60 gen

Livingstone has. with all the eloquence OF de tall
