THE GALA NATION OF AFRICA.

NEW YORK, April 25 1874
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
From all read In the various African re-
ports OF yonr estimable paper am inclined to be-
heve that the lake region of inner Africa is the
cradle of the great Gala nation which so often dis
turbed the northern borders; the last time IN the
thirteenth century by an invasion into Abyssinia,
as reported by Portuguese chroniclers, who de-
scribed these invaders as monsters.
TO the Gala nation belong, as far as know, the
wahoona Tor Gala proper, the Somalee, the
Gooraguck (Kharagwee) and likely also the Manu-
gema, as you may see from the Waho0na numbers
counting from one TO ten, 'sfOkkO, Lamaa, Saadee,
Atoor, Dla, Shenn, T0rbah, Saadett, Saagall, KOO-
lenn." The word "Galla," in the WahOOna Ian
guage, signifies red or handsome, the same as the
word .'hamraa'' (rom ahmaar, red in Arabic. and
SO the Gala, call their neighbors, the negroes,
HbanUalia-i. e., unfair or black.
II That English adventurer mentioned ny LIVING
stone, instead Of black snunbOXes. mad carried
with him the "Sim0n Pure" gilt tin boxes from
Nuremberg, regularly imported into the interior OF
Africa by way OF Alexandra and KhartoOm, likely
tue African 'husseys" would not have so decidedly
objected to them as they did to the base English
article. Yours, very truly, EMANUEL WEISS.
