1t is hardly necessary to say that Mr.. AVERY
stands in the foremost rank of literature ON
this coast that he is not only chaste and
conservative writer on the current topics of
the day, but that he wields the discriminating
pen of an impartial critic in science, art and
letters ; and that his contributions to geogra-
phical literature have been widely copied and
favorably commented upon.

business houses, and from clerks or me-
chanics he borrowed on his word or own
note.
His exodus was as remarkable as his
Operations He purchased his vessel,
got her cleared by his faithful captain,
for ports in the Pacific ballasted her
with the spoils of a city, equal in extent
to those of many nations in former
days; gathered his family and friends
around him, and went down to the sea-
unmolested, laughing at his dupes. he
left his family mansion as it was, with
its carpets, and paintings, and pencilings,
and cartains; with all its ottomans and
tete-a-tetes, and golden fishes, and birds
Of brightest plumage; with its servants
unpaid, perhaps, and its wines, and it's
oils, and its sfpices; on a family excur-
sion to San Nateo, he said; to far-off
lands, as his creditors say. He went
prepared for a two years siege. He
went prepared for peace or war; with
munitions of war in ample store. He
went prepared to conquer or purchase
dukedom. And all this at the expense
of San Francisco business men. The
loss Of these men is not to be regretted
as much as the manner of losing it.
But still he is a poor wanderer on the
face of the earth, with the brand Of
Cain upon his brow. He can have no
peace;. his evil deeds will haunt him
wherever he may go. He will be shun-
ned by society. With all his ill-gotten
wealth he will find that the way of the
transgressor is hard"
And simply because this man has been
successful in investing his two millions
and half dollars, which he robbed
from others, the California Legislature,
by one sweeping act, obliterates all in
dictments against him. Such legisla-
ton is we'll calculated to bring the
law into contempt, for no one will con-
tend that, had Meiggs been unsuccessful
in South America, there would have
been any one in the Legislature of that
State to have drafted an act similar to
the one just passed. .fr- .s---

The Dwarfs of Africa.

There have ever been traditions of
strangely-formed tribes of human be-
ings dwelling in Central Africa. That
unknown region has been peopled by
fancy and fable, with tailed men, hideo-
us hybrids, half human and half bes-
tial, dwarfs and giants. Travellers who
have plunged into it have had their
stories Of discovery met with cool in
credulity. 1twas years before DuChail-
lu could convince people that the gorilla
was not myth. When the animals
existence was definitely established, it
wassthought by many to account for
the stories Of men with tails. A truer
explanation has been given by the ex-
ploration of DR.. Schweinfuerth, the
German Livingstone. This intupid
traveller spent the three years from 1868
to 1871 in the heart of Africa. One of
the tribes he reached was the Bongo.
all its male members wear an animals
tail fastened by string tied round the
middle Of the body. This explains the
fable of the tailed men as fully as a
man on horseback explains the myth
of the CeDtaurs. The most curious OF
DR.. Schweinfuerth's minor discoveries
was yet to come. Throughout his long
journey he had heard Of pigmies that
lived near the equator. They were
never over three feet tall, said his
Nubian servants, and they wore, boards
that reached to their knees: They
| were skilled elephant-hunters, creep
! ing under the animals and killing them
with stabs from below. They were in
great demand as Court buffoons. The,
explorer put little faith in these stories,
thinking that seeing was better than
hearing. Finally he saw. At the
| Court Of Cannibal King, who ate a
baby daily, he found several pigmies;
They were very shy, and kept out Of
his way for several days. At length
his servant caught one. Il looked
up, surprised at the shouting" says the
! traveller, ''and there sure enough, was
| the strange little creature, perched up
on Mohammed's;sright shoulder, Rerv-
ously hugging his head, and casting
glances Of alarm in every direction" !"
The wee man was soon paci6ed. He
was the Chief of quite large settle
ment near by. DR.. Schweintuerth
Afterwards measured q number Of these
dwarfs. The tallest full-grown men
were not over 4 feet 10 inches. They
said that great tribes of their fellows
Lived just north of the equator. They
are amiable, affectionate, and quite in.
/ Itelligent. DR.. ,Schweinfuerth considers
them to be closely allied to the Bush
men Of South Africa. He bought one
/ oe them, Neswue, for a dog, but kept
him only eighteen months. At that
time he died Of over-eating, surely a
very civilized way Of shutting OF the
| mortal coil, for did not the "drst gen
tleman in Europe to whom Sir wal
ter Scott played flunkey, die from the
] self.same cause? Neswue's fate ls less
to be regretted, inssmuch as two Of his
kindred are now en- route to Italy.
They are to be placed in charge OF the
Ethnolopical Society at Florence.

PETREFACTIONS.
Some very fine petrefactions have been
discovered, some weighing several hum
dred pounds; Gen. Custer will probably
allow some Of them to be brought into
camp on the return.
CONCLUSION.
The expedition is now five miles from
the Little Missouri, and about five days
march from the Black Hills. We do
not expect to be able to communicate
with civilization until the return of the
command-p probably about the 1st. Of
September. 4 N. H. K.

upon the following address from General
LOngstreet, which is calculated to give rise to
some curious reflections at this time, and We
therefore reproduce it.
"HEADo'Rs RIGHT WING,
ARMY BEFORE RioHMoND.
June lTth, 1862.
Soldiers: You have marched out TO light
the battles of your country, and by those bat.
ties you must be rescued from the shame of
slavery. Your foes have declared their purS
pose of bringing you to beggary; and avarice,
their national characteristic, inoites them 10
redoubled efforts for the conquest fthe South,
in order that they may seize her sunny fields
and happy homes. Already has the hatred
Of one of their great leaders attempted 20
make the negro your equal by declaring his
freedom. They care nothing for the blood Of
babes; nor carnage of innocent women which
serFile insurrection thus stirred mp may bring
upon their heads. Worse than this, the
North has sent forth another infamous chief,
encouraging the lust of his hirelings TO the
dishonor and violation of those Southern wOs
men who have so nntiringly labored to clothS
our soldiers in the field, and nurse our sick and
wounded. If ever men were called upon 60
defend the beloved daughters Of their couns
try, that now is our duty. Let such thoughts
nerve you to the most dreadful shock Of bat
tie. Were it certain death, death would b6
better than the fate that defeat would entail
upon us all. But, remember, though the
noise of battle is indeed most terrifying, and
seems to threaten universal ruin, it is not SO
destructive as it seems, aud few soldiers after
all are slain. This the Commanding General
desires particularly to impress upon ths fresh
| and inexperienced troops, who now constitute
part of this command. Let officers and
men, even under the most formidable fire,
preserve quiet demesnor and self-possessed
temper Keep cool, obey orders, aim low.
Remember while you are doing this, and
driving the enemy before you, your comrades
may be relied on to support you on either
side, and are in turn relying upon you.
Stand we'll to your duty, and when these
clouds break away, as they surely will, the
bright sunlight of peace, falling upon our
free, virtuous, and happy land, will be &
sufficient reward for the sacrifices which we
are now called upon to make.
JAMES LoN0sTREET,
Major General Commanding"
Can it be possible that the author of tho
above address is the same individual who has
been seen siding along the streets Of New
Orleans, at the head of negro militia, with n
negro staff by his eide, and obeyipg the be-
hests of the uburpef Kellogg, who was one of
the most infamous of the invading hosts,
whose national characteristic" "avarice,"
incited chem to redoubled efforts of the cJn>
quest Of the South, in order that they may
seize her sunny fields and happy homes 2"
Is he the same General who recently ordered
his negro outlaws to fire upon some of his old
comrades of the Confederate ArmyI

TOOK THE STARCH OUT OF HIM

She was fine old lady-one of the kind
who knew how to knit a stocking or market
the eggs of last weeks laying Above all
things on earth, she detested that class of
young people who think themselves better
than their fathers before them, and it de-
lighted her beyond measure to take the starch
out of them.
Being in mood for avisit to the city, she
got into the car on the Pennsylvania Central,
with an old>tashioned carpet bag and band
box, on her way to visit some friends in this
city.
AS she took her seat her eyes rested upon
a young man with his hair parted in the mid.
die, dressed In gorgeous attire, with his am
brosial locks highly scented, and his clothes
cut in the height of fashion, perfect speciA

lobbies of theatres and operas, between the

young man, and he knew her, as was we'll

garded her.
