come what Nathaniel Hawthorne called ''bul.

the phrase ibloatsd aristooraoy'' arose It
must be American, for I have had glimpses Of

THE LADIES VERY PRETTY, IF NATURAL AND
NOT VAIN.
Many of the women are very pretty, and,
like all ladies' would have been much prettier
if they had only let themselves alone For
tunately the dears could not change charming
black eyes, beautiful foreheads. nicely rounded
limbs, well shaped forms and small hands
and feet, but must adorn themselves, and
this they do-''oh, the hussies by fling
splendid teeth to points like cats teeth. 1t
was distressing, for it made their smile-which
has 80 much power over us lie donkeys-
like that Of crockodile ornaments, scarce. What
would our ladies do if they had none, but pout
and lecture us on woman's rights. But these
specimens of the fair sex make shift by adjoining
fine warm brown skins, tattooing various
pretty devices without colors, that, besides
purposes of beauty, serve the heralding uses of
our Highland tartans. They are not black, but
Of light. warm brown color, and so very sister,
ish. If may use the word, like on new coinage,
1t feels an injury done ones self to see bit of
grass stuck through the cartilage of the nose
so as to bulge out the als nasi or wing Of the
nose Of the anatomists. -
oAzEMBE's QUEEN.
Cazembe's Queen, Moaria Nyombe by name,
would be esteemed real beauty either in
London, Paris or New York, and yet she had
small hole through the cartilage, near the tip
Of her fine, slightly aquiline nose. But she
had only fled one side of two of the front of her
superb snow-white teeth, and then, what o
laugh she had Let those who wish to know
60 see her. She was carried to her farm in
pony phaeton, which is sort of throne, fast
ened in two very long poles and carried by
twelve stalwart citizens.
NIaaERs' RIGHTS.
IF they take the Punch motto of Cazembe-
'Niggars don't require to be shot here" as
their own. they may show themselves to be
men; but whether they do or not Cazembe will
show himself man of sterling good sense.
MENTAL IRREGULARITIES.
Now, these people, 80 like ourselves inter-
naily. have brave, genuine human souls. Rua,
large sections of country northwest of Cazem-
be, but still in same inland region, is peopled
with men very like those of wsama and Ca
zembe. An Arab, Syed Ben Habib, was
sent to trade in Rua two years ago,
and, as Arabs usually do where ma
tives have no guns, Syde Ben Habib's
elder brother carried matters with high
hand. The Rua men observed the elder
brother slept in white tent, and, pitching
spears into it by night, killed him. As Mos
LENS never forgive blood, the younger
brother forthwith iran a muck on all in
Discriminatory in large district.
REDxEMNa FONTS OF CHARACTER.
Let it not be. supposed any of these people
are like American Indians, Unsuitable, blood
thirsty savages, who will not be reclaimed or
entertain terms of lasting friendship with fair
dealing strangers. Had the actual murder
ers been demanded, and little time granted,
I feel morally certain, from many other in
stances among tribes who, like the Ba Rua,
have not been spoiled by Arab traders, they
would all have been given up.
xxraADrT1oN1srs Bx NATURE.
The chiefs Of the country would, first of all,
have specified the crime Of which the elder
brother was guilty and who had been led to
avenge it. II is very likely they would have
stipulated no other should be punished but the
actual perpetrator, the domestic slave acting
under his orders being considered free Of
blame.
know nothing distinguishes the uncon-
taminated African from other degraded peo-
pies more than their entire reasonableness
and good sense It is different after they
have had wives, children and relatives
kidnapped, but that is more than human
nature, civilized or savage, can bear. In the
