Progress of Expl0ra tons in Africa.

LETTERS from Egypt of late give very
encouraging accounts of the progress
making by the Khedive's officers in ex-
ploring and opening up the interior of
Africa TO civilization and commerce Col.
Long, the young American officer who
made himself so famous by his daring and
successful expedition to Mtesa, and who
has since made other equally successful
explorations, has returned to Cairo, bring
ing back five natives of different tribes,
together with many curious war weapons
and implements, showing the different
degrees of civilization attained. He gives
a most graphic account Oh his adventures
and discoveries, and may be expected
other explorations which are to be in
trusted to him to penetrate further into
the heart of Africa under the Khedive's
auspices. Seven steamers now ply be-
tween Khartoum and Ragaff, above which
the rapids render the Nile unnavigable
The distance between Khartoum and
Gordon's headquarters is more than 900
miles. He has established lines of posts
so as to keep his communication open,
and has made peace with the tribes with
whom Baker was at war, adroitly availing
himself of Abou Saood Bakers bette noar)
in the first place, and then dismissing
him, thus checking the slave-trade most
effectually by turning its instruments to
other uses. Gordon has proved great
success, and his occupation Of the coun-
try has cost the Government nothing, as
he has made it self-sustaining by the prod
uce he has sent to Cairo. Col. Purdy
ian American officer in the Khedive's
service) has reached the capital of Darfur,
and reports that there is plenty of water
in the Nile between that point and the
point of his departure, so that the obstacle
which baffied Baker seems no longer to
exist Capt. Colston (also an American
officer) is pushing on probably into the
interior by another route; while Mitchell,
the geologist of the Gordon expedition,
who is not far from Kennar, between the
Nile and the Red Sea, has discovered two
gold mines, formerly worked in ancient
times, the shafts still open. He reports
that with modern appliances one of these
shafts could be successfully and probably
worked; what percentage of gold he has
found has not been made public. In fact,
the energetic Khedive, seconded by
equally energetic officers, is pushing ex-
plorations and investigations of all kinds
into this terra incognitd with success
equal to his efforts.
Germany is even now working along
the western coast of Africa; France is Or
ganizing an expedition from Senegal;
Stanley is pushing on from the eastern
coast, and the dream of the heroic Living
stone seems at last in process of speedy full
fillment. Even Portugal, ever mindful of
old memories and earlier explorations, is

Horrors of African Travel.

Col LONG, in describing his recent
journey to the interior of Africa and the
vicinity of the land Of the pigmies, thus
describes the hardships he underwent
"To cross the Armour is fearful under
taking, assure you. For $50 miles the
route, though painful, is in close proxim-
ity to the river, and thus we have water for
200 miles. Leaving Abou Hamed, where
the river describes great arc westward,
we are obliged to cross a black, barren sea
of sand, so sullocating and hot that the
thermometer will scarcely register the
heat. Great simoOns or khamsecns blow
with roaring sounds their hot breath and
cause your skin to crack like pare hment.
On all sides a sea Of sand, bordered only
by delusive mirages that lead many to their
death, for there is no well or water (savc
one half way, like epson salts, and none
but camels may drink il; then we have
water for eight days, carried on camels'
backs in goat-skins. The camel, a pa
tent, Woodworking animal, without which
it would be impossible to cross the desert,
still has not the extraordinary powers at
tributed to him, and is waterproof only
for two or three days, dying on the fourth.
Thousands thus perish, and the road for
the whole distance shows five to ten car.
cases for every mile, bleached bones
that indicate the deadly route. Added to
this is the fearful see-saw movement A
forced march is necessary, and day and

How 1t Feels To BE Hanged.

A PARIS newspaper gives this extract
from the notes of young fellow who tried
to commit suicide and was cut down be
fore sutfOcation was complete. He was
delighted to return to life, and it is noted
that would-hc suicides who are rescued
from their self:sought fate rarely renew
their attempts to shuttle off this mortal
coil: When | stood on the chair the
mirror on the mantelpiece involuntarily
attracted me, and looked at myself as |
fastened the slip-knot around my neck.
Blood flowed TO my head, for my face was
very red; something took place at the
same time in my optic nerves, for it
seemed to me that my face suddenly be-
gan to make grimaces. My eyes and nose
changed places necessarily, like the pieces
Of a kaleidoscope. | kicked the chair
from under me and fell with the sensation
that had been struck on the top of my
head with hammer. | did not at first
feel the rope around my neck. The only
very clear impression which followed the
blow with the hammer on my skull was
that of great heaviness in the head 1t
seemed to me that my head was larger and
heavier on my shoulders than the great
bell of Nore Dame. AT the same time l
felt an immense night falling in and
around me. Then felt extremely cold at
my lower extremities, and at the same
time an acute, terrible pain in my neck,
which was produced by the rope, which
cut my skin and sawed my veins Then
felt nothing. Evidently this was the
moment when my good aunt Cecil entered
my room and cut me down.

attention to it. He will soon get over the
habit when he finds that none OF these
things hurt him. But whip him the first
few times he SHES and the habit becomes
confirmed, for he will assuredly associate
the whipping with the appearance OF a
stone, a stump, child, or any other OBJ
iect, and will be continually on the alert
for something to be frightened at. And it
is lust so with stumbling. Whipping will
not cure it. 1t is defect, and the remedy
must be sought in ascertainng what that
defect is. and removing it if possible.
The whip should never be used TO urge
a horse forward on the road. They speed
ilv become used to it, and will not gowith-
out it. 1t is just as easy to train them 10
90 at the word, and nothing is so dctesta-
Bile as to see a man urging horse by con
tinually applying the whip.
These are only a few thoughts on this
highly-important subject, but enough to
indicate what ought to be done, and what
must be avoided. A cool, calm judgment,
perfect control of ones self, absence OF
cowardly timidity, respect for the animal,
knowledge of his character and DISPOSE
ton, an understanding of your own du-
ties, and, above all, good common sense
and strictly temperate habits, are neceS-
sarv clements to horse-trainer. \ horse
trained correctly, and free from bad hab-
its. is worth double the animal that Is
not and hence l attach as much impor-
lance to the trainer as the breeder, and
think that more should be said and enforced
