DR.. GERHARD RoHLFs.

A Celebrated African Traveller in America.
On the evening of November 10 a reception was
given by the New York Geographical Society
to DR.. Gerhard Rohlfs, the welLknown African
traveller, who came to this country q short time
ago. On this occasion DR.. Rohlfs presented to
the society an account Of his latest, most import
ant expedition to the Sybian desert, region pre-
senting many features Of extraordinary interest,
and heretofore totally unknown.
After having completed his medical studies,
DR.. Rohlfs-a German by birth-entered the
northern Africa, where he became familiar with
many Of the customs and the languages Of the
tribes inhabiting that region. Having resigned
his position, he commenced his first extensive eX-
plorstions Of Africa in 1854 In the fall Of 1851,
after the first expedition had been completed he
joined the English army against King Theodore,
Of Abbessynia, having received orders from the
present Emperor Of Germany to that effect.
Great results had been obtained by DR.. Rohlfs
which we may mention the passing OF the Atlas
mountains. In 1870 he again organized large
expedition, with o complete scientific staf, pro-
posing to explore the Lybian desert. After sus-
tanning the most severe hardships, the work un-
dertaken was successfully completed, and DR..
Rohlfs returned to Europe.
A short time ago he arrived at New York with
the intention Of spending some time in the United
States, and delivering series Of lectures. We
think we can safely assure the Doctor Of . hearty
reception BY our American countrymen, who ad-
mire energy and scientific attainments wherever
they meet them. European scientific corporations
have honored DIR. Rohlfs with the highest honors
they bestow, but II Is our privilege to extend
to him o genuine American welcome.
National Republican., 1875-11-11
The Washington Monument.

Tous Editor Of the Ndtfoaal Republican:
SIR: Your very liberal habit Of admitting Into
yeur paper communications on subjects that inter-
est the public induces me to ask small place for
q few words on that almost exhausted one-the
Washington monument,
The interest all feel In the completion Of that
structure and the failure so far to effect the same
are yell.known facts. The many plans also sug-
gested in that behalf, but which have always
seemed feeble, and have been attended with no
beneficial result, are also we'll understood NOW,
as bearing upon this subject, I will inquire
whether any the fault Of this state of things is
IN any degree owing to the ineffclency or neglect
Of duty on the part Of the officers having charge
Of the work. believe there Is regularly con-
stituted monument board for the management Of
It's affairs, including, suppose, the prosecution
ofplans for It's completion. Has this board ever
met for the purpose Of considering aud devlsiag
modes and means for effecting this object? have
never heard that they have done so. Perhaps It
was never contemplated that they should perform
any such duty. II so, have nothing more 10 say,
except that It would seem to be OF very little use
70 have set of officers at all IL they were not Cx
pected to make an effort to carry the work to COM
pletion.
that these men receive no pay sna therefore can
which affords no remuneration. That may, In
certain view of the case, be natural enough, but
are there not to be found In this whole land men
with sufficient patriotism and enterprise, who, for
the mere pride and love Of the thing, would ac.
| cept these positions and try to finish the work
AS for compensation, think the honor and glory
Of such an achievement would OF themselves be
no mean reward. IT. then, the present ofticers are
not inclined TO put forth the exertion necessary In
| the emergency, would It not be well 70 consider
whether It is not possible to secure others better
suited to the occasion, and who would be willing
10 make some sacrifice, In order that they might
be Instrumental In putting the finishing stroke TO
i CITIZEN.
