An African Kings Reception.

Col. c. G. Long, of the Egyptian
Army, now visiting, with his family,
friends in St. Louis, gives the follow
ing account of his reception at the
Court of King M'tesa, to which he
had penetrated with two attendants
only:
My reception by this strange and
mysterious King was unique. Cover
ing the hilltOps that characterize the
mountainous districts of the lake re-
gi0ns were thousands of the people Of
Uganda assembled to welcome "the
Great White Prince" as they called
me King M'tesa. surrounded by his
cOurters and harem, as | arrived, sent

him and show him the strange ami

even been seen in Uganda. Ataquick
ened pace, advancing toward the King
and cOurtiers, they fled precipitately
before me, while |, turning my horse,
regained the hill from which | had
descended, and, throwing my foot
from the stirrup, in the act of dis
mounting, | was surprised to see the
| people scatter in every direction in
dismay. | learned from the interpret
| er that they had SUPPOSED, up 10 JnaC
moment, that | and the horse We're
one animal-that | was kind of a
centaur. / was presented the next
| day to the Kiug--a tall, graceful man,
| dressed in flowing Arabic robe,
bound at the waist by grdle to which
scimetar was suspended, and with
sandaled feet, who eyed my horse
with affrighted glance, and retreated
towards his-throne. PROSTATE bodies
covered the entrance and floor of the
hut. 1t was here that the King held
audience with his different Sheiks and
chiefs, and the heads of the different
branches of his Government. The
ceremony ended in a slight inclination
of the head of the King to his mes
sengers, who, unrolling from their
heads neatly-bound cords, threw
them around the necks of the assem-
hled throng at the door, and dragged
them, holloaing and struggling, away
to an eXecutiOner, who as the fancy
struck him, had them poinarded oil
choked to death, or had their brains
dashed out. This is a sacrifice which
is made to all African kings.

Of the Arctic Expedition is published.
1t relates that after first encountering
ice the expedition was detained seve-
raj days in Port Prayer. 1t started
thence on August s, but, before reach
lug the shore of Grinnell Land, the
vessels were caught in an ice pack
After this their progress northward
was an incessunt struggle through
chance openings made in the ice 10y
wind and current, the channels through
which the ship moved constantly
closing behind them. The Discovery
wiutered in veil sheltered harbor on
the west side Of Halls Basin, few
miles north Of PolarIs Bay. The
Alert pushed forward and rounded
the northeast point Of Grants Land,
but, inst cad of finding, as expected, Il
continuous coast a hundred miles to.
ward the north, she found herself on
the border of an extensive sea, with
impenetrable ice on every side and no
harbor. The ship wintered behind a
barrier of grounded ice close to land.
The floating masses of thick polar ice
had, in meeting, pressed up the masses
of intermediate ice into blocks fire.
QuGntly a mile in diameter and vary
ing in height from ten to fifty feet
Obstacles of this kind destroyed all
hope of reaching the pole by sledges

sledge party was obliged to make a
road with pickaXes nearly have the
distance it travelled. AS it was always
necessary to drag the sledge-loads 10y

The New TOBACCO CROP.-We learn
from reliable citizen (not a dealer
who has the present week spent two
days riding and looking at the new
crop of tobacco in Pittsylvania and
Halifax the following:
lie confirms the general statements
as to the shOrtness of the crop, and
rather intensifes the bad reports "a to
the quality of the leaf. The leaf is
green, badly cured, and much hacked
by worms. In many cases the crop is
made ragged 10y worms. He, however,
reports finding in three different
neighborhoOds n few early cuttings
of fair quality.
Owing to the unusual sappines the
brighter portions of the crop, during
the the late warm, wet spell, run"
seriously and became red, and in some
instances much notified,
This we mWch regret to learn, as
our farmers rely generally on the to-
bacCO crop for money, However, the
few who hold old leaf will be benefit
ed by the great advance that must
ensue upon all bright grades. The
same party took notes of old crops
and suppOses that about one planter Ia
one hundred holds his old crop and in
tends to do so till next spring or sum
