was necessary. but the explorer wan un-

in the manly art of self-defsnoe. 81 ran
this man down, he sAys, "and gave him .
thrAshing [chee1b but would mot allow

straight up 10 some people who we're in

in which, after time, we we're snccessful
end we went ON with the natives m the
best Of friends."
A pet goat named DinAh, which accom-
panied Lieut.. Cameron, was the cause Of
the next difficulty, which was more ne
rious. The goat had slept outside the
camp, and in the morning her master went
to look for her. Approaching the neigh
boring village, entirely unarmed and un-
suspecting harm, he inquired Of the na-
tives concerning his goat, when all At once
they began firing upon him They then
advanced, about five hundred strong, in Q
most threatening manner, but no secured
hin rife In time apd was obliged 10 wound
few OF his foes through the legs befsr,
they would deeist from the attack. This
demonstration appeased their ardor some
what. and negotiations for peace were in
progress when another party Of natives
came up and fomented discord again.
Spear throwing began, and Lieut. Came
ron found it necessary TO check il by
burning down the village A forti6cation
was thrown up on its site-afterward
named Fort Dinah, in honor Of the goat
where the expedition was virtually i'm
prisoned for five days. IL became evident
that they must perish unless they resorted
to hsrsher measures, and at last they fired
upon the besiegers with fatal effect. This
at once brought about peace. The hostile
chiefs offered indemnity, but this was de-
clined. though presents were exchanged as
an evidence of friendship. In this instance
the use of the rife seemed essential to
safety, but throughout the march Lieut.
Cameron carefully abstained from giving
the slightest cause Of offence to the inhab-
itants, and he never made any hostile
demonstration unless the lives Of his party
we're imperiled.
Sir Henry Rawlinson truly remarked
that Lieut.. Cameron Was not one Of those
explorers who carry their eyes in their
pockets. Some Of the vegetation he met
with, however. would hardly have escaped
the attention even Of such explorers In
Ugogo he encamped under one Of three
enormous trees-his own caravan and two
others which accompanied it, comprising
about five hundred men in all, resting
under the shade Of . single tree. AMI if
the trees; for We are told OF plains on
which the grass was twelve feet high, with
stalks Of corresponding magnitude.
Everywhere that Livingstone had been
he was well and favorably remembered.
The Arabs showed great respect to his
memory, and near the west coast the fact
that he rode on an OK had made lasting
impression on the people One Of the most
curious relics Of the great explorer recov-
cred by Lieut.. Cameron is the chronometer
which Livingstone playtully called his
dead chronometer, because, although it
ran perfectly for three hours and half at
day, it would run no more. The char
acteristic Of the instrument was verified
by Lieut.. Cameron, who used the same
chronometer in some Of his own observa-
tiOns. .--Nesg York Sssss.
