bu, this is heavy, Please s,op-no~ do
please stop. and do not add another ounce
10 our already intolersble burden.~ And
yet every box and bale is totally empty
the water skins only are filled Ia show
for what purpose they are intended. Then
the caravan gets under way. First comes
a stalwart Nubiap, mounted on a Camel,
with picturesque tasseled saddle with
a leOpard-skin thrown across it, the rider
looking as if he had stepped right out
of the pages of geography book, with
his sword in sheath of OXhide swung
at his back, and his bare arms gIistening
with bead bracelets. This individual
flies hither and thither as fast as his clum-
sy steed can trot, and is evidently an &C
complished camel-man-I suppose horse
man would not be appropriate. Next
comes another camel, mounted by the
Englishman who has the party in charge,
and then follow string of some seven
or eight camels that are used as beasts
of burden, some with great square box
swung on either side, Others with water
skins, great bags of black leather, from
which the water drips down the creatures
sides. These draught camels are attached
together in a way that looks very conf.
cal to our eyes, the head halter Of each
being tied to the root of the tail of the
camel directly in front of him. The 9th.
er Nubians follow, graceful, free-stepping
young men, some leading the baby-ele-
plants, others the beautiful mild-eyed
oxen, while one merry little fellow brings
up the rear Vith very young and very
obstinate girSfe, which gives him an i'm
m ense deal of trouble, so determined. is
it not to follow the rest of the procession.
Each Of the men has his round shield
covered with hide slung at his back, and
his assegai in hand. They pace round and
round the great enclosure, presenting, as
an Eastern traveller at my side informs
me, precisely the picture of caravan
entering village about sunset. But for
the background one might take the scene
for a picture by Fromentin suddenly
awakened into life, but instead of sky
of heated brass, and line of palms low
on the horizon, and stretch of waste Of
scorching sand, the setting is that of the
freshest European verdure, trees and turf
of vivid emerald, sparkling sun in
sky of loveliest azure, and breeze, cool,
sweet and fresh as the first breath of May
inappropriate surroundings are these.
One never wearies of gazing at these
quaint characteristic representations of
the desert journeyings. Finally the sig
nal is given, the caravan halts, the cam
els cluster together and kneel, and the
Nubians group themselves around-it lie
another Characteristic picture, only this
time of repose instead of journeying.
These Nubians, notwithstanding their
shields and spears, their extraordinary
cOiffures, and their fondness for skulls
and horns by way of household furniture,
are lively, jolly and sociable. They are
anxious for gifts of tobacco in any form,
and are charmed with the beads and toys
that some persons take care to bring
them. One handsome boy, straight
limbed and graceful rs q bronze Apollo,
received q present of q horn snuff-box,
closing with spring, from one Of the by
ISLANDERS. He learned At once how to
manage the spring, swapping the lid CON
tinuaily, and seeming hugely delighted
with his new acquisition, though he could
not repress . start every time that the lid
