A handsomely bound and attractive
volume of poems, 10y Samuel b. and
Charles A. Sumner, was handed us by
a friend, and we have managed to ex-
tract considerable pleasure from its
perusal. None of the verses are very
ambitious in their flight, and some
lose interest &c the reader from the
fact of their being local in subject and
allusion, but there is a natural and
unaffected vein running through the
compositions, that while never stirring
the pulses very deeply. serves to
while away an idle hour pleasantly.
The poems are on all topics from
grave to CAV. the emotional alter
mating with the ludicrous and anus
ing. While we doubt that the authors
will ever find a very high niche in
the temple of poetic fathe. their efforts
IN that line are far above the mediocre,
and evince the possession OF "a fair
amount of v~ersifying talent. Chas. A.
Sumner. one OF the JOINT authors. is
well-known on the Pacific Coast, hav-
ing been connected with the press for
a number of years. He Is also = tai
ented short hand reporter, and has &C
quired quite q reputation as a bril- =
liant lecturer and pamphleteer.

The Metamoras mine Is employing
a force of men sinking the new shaft

send ore to the surface. Nothing fur

work, and on the completion of the

A wilderness in Central Africa

In his conversation with me at Uiiji
Livingstone ascribed much Just praise to
all of the region west Of the Coma noun
tains. It is most remarkable
region-more remarkable than any
thing l have eyer seen in Africa. lis
woods or forests'or jungles or bush-I do
not know by what particular term to
designate the crowded, tall, straight trees
from an impenetrabIe underground Of
bush, creepers, thous, gums, palms,
Cronds Of all forms, canes, and grass-are
sublime, even terrible. Indeed, nature
here is either remarkably or savagcly
beautiful. At a distance everything
looks charming, Take your stand on
any emiuence or coigne Of vantage fer
view seeing y0q may please, be it the
crest of a ridge, Che summit Of hill, the
crown Of a rock, and if you will look
around you will find yourself delighted,
fascinated. a hundred or thousand
different outlines are in view Of ridges and
ranges, peaks and cones, the boldly
waving or softly rolling, Of gradual or
abrupt slope, of mounds, little patches
OF levels, of the grand and the pictures
que, in bewiIdering diversity Of form.
You will exclaim that you see the
splendor of the tropics-tbat you have
caught nature rejoicing and happy.
Over all she has flung a robe Of varying
ereen; the hills and ridges are blooming;
the valleys and basins e1hale perfume;
the rocks wear garlsnds ef creepers; the
stems of the trees are clothed with moss;
\ thousand streamlets OF pure, cool water
stray. now languid, now quick, toward
the north and south and west. The
whole makes pleasing, charming iHus-
tration Of the bounteOusness and wild
beauty of tropical nature.
Look closer and analyze all this that
Won NAV fnd how deceptive is distance.
The grasses are coarse and high and thick.
They form a miniature copy of an African
forest. Their spear-like blades wound
ike knives and their points like needles;
the reeds are tall and tough as tamboo
in those pretty-looking bushes are thorns
truly the thorns are hooks OF steel
the crown of that yonder low hill with
such a gentle slope is all but inaccessible.
See that glorious crop of crimson flowers
on that low bush in the middle Of the
lawn green. Pause, my friend, before
YOU venture to pluck tsem. First, that
lawn is deception; it is forest of tall
trees you gee, and that beautiful, gorgeous
.osison bush is nearly thirty feet high,
nd those green banks of vegetation in
those hollows are almost impenetrable

Iron SHip-BuildinG.

A great ship-builder Of New York, Mr..
John Roach, has been giving his views
on our ocean carrying trade in general
and our iron ship-building in particular
TO representative Of the New York
Herald. lie says that seven years ago
there was not Il ship-yard in this country
that could build q large-sized iron steam
ship without unreasonable delays; but
there are now several yard where they can
be constructed as expeditiously, Of better
material than anywhere in the world,
and of as good workmanship. The New
York Evening Post gives some figures
which do not confirm Mr.. Roach's idea
Of progress In 1871 our steam merchant
fleet amounted to 1,0SG637 tons. II
rose in 1874 to 1,1s5,6l0 tons, and last
wear had declined TO l,172,372 tons.
From 1871 to 1875, on the other hand,
the British steam merchant feet engaged
in foreign trade alone rose from 98G. 9l4
tons to l,470,158 tons, an increase Of
about 81 per centum. Mr. Roach objects
TO the repeal of the navigation and tarih
laws, by which heisprotected, because they
compensate for the heavy taxes which
he says he pays on his materials, labor,
etc. But he, notwithstanding, asserted
in the int view that he could build ships
as cheaply as English builders can. The
Post wants to know why, il he can really
compete with British builders, he objects
TO the repeal of his protective navigation
and tariff laws?
