To the Falls of the Zambcsi.

The exploration of equatorial Africa we
have learned to think beset In all diicc-
lions by almost insuperable diflcu'tirs.
Yet it appears that a Bremen gentleman,
named EDWARD Morn, prompted merely
by the spirit OF enterprise common 10
sportsmou, has prosecuted Il hunting tour
from Natal To the rails of the Ilmhe i, OF
beyond the eighteenth parallel OF south
latitude. This excursion of some two
thousand miles into the heart Of Africa
was attended with little danger, and might
easily, in the judgment of the traveller
have been pushed much further north.
Although Mr.. MoHR disclains special quail
ihcations for scientific investigation, the
modest journal which he has lately pub
lished presents matter not less interesting
and useful than the protentious narratives
OF some professional explorers.
The journey from Durham, in the State
of Natal, to the cataract Of the Zlmbesl oc-
cupied fifteen months, and was performed
in one of those huge wagons, rooted with
canvas, drawn by score OF oxen and
guided by n Hottentot, which Iulfil all
the functions Of an ambulatory dwelling.
These clumsy vehicles, invented by the
Dutch settlers, traverse, without much diff

In one respect indeed, our ability TO

here continually aiding lis to comprehend
the laws of the material universe, and
thence by analogy those OF unseen things.
The adaptation Of means to ends, the per-

law, are daily receiving fresh demonstrn-

the progress Of discovery gives hope Of the
speedy construction of n oosmic theory
which shall meet every requirement OF
the facts of creation. Hundreds Of things
which puzzled our ancestors are plain to
us, and in the same way what are puzzles
TO us will be plain to our posterity. Ac

dependence upon Con; the relations of
