s.Do you mean the glories of the
sunset" his father answered, smiling,
as he pointed to the west, where the
clouds had fashioned q city with golden
walls, and towers, and crimson ban

father cried, in such q strange. stern
tone that Max raised himself from his

African Solicitations.


During his experiments Of Tlbesti. Dir:
Nachtlgal experienced many dangers and
difficulties, losing his way, and suffering
from want of water and forced night
marches. A very interesting account is
given Of the ceremonials observed by the
Tubu people in greeting one another.
A most elaborate performance is gone
through when two strangers meet in this
wild country. Each of the performers
covers all bis face but his eyes with his
turban, seizes his spear and throwing
iron, "a curious boomerang like weapon
with long projecting prong on the con-
cave margin, and thus prepared, the
two approach one another. At q dis
lance OF about six steps from one an
other they squat on their heels with
spear upright in one hand and iron in
the other. The one then asks "Row do
you do?" about a dozen times by means
Of four different words having that mean
ing used 4. alternately ter the reply being
Laha, or Killala. Then one Of
the two loudly sings the word
"ihilla," which is returned by
the other in similar tone. The word
Is exchanged again and again, being
commenced in high pitched note and
gradually run down the scale until it
reaches low bass murmur. When it
has become so low as scarcely to be
heard, on sudden it is shouted again
in high key and the gamut is run
through as before. This goes on for
very long while, the performers going
through it as strict matter OF ceremony,
and taking no interest in one another ali
the while, but looking round at the hori-
ION or elsewhere during their vocal ex-
ertions. After while various forms of
the question Chow are you?' and the
answer SWELL" are introduced; at last
questions or other topics are brought
forward, although now and again the
ihilla bursts out in the midst of them,
but the series of notes in which it is
shouted becomes shorter and shorter. At
last the "ihilla" is got rid Of altogether,
and ordinary conversation becomes pos
sible. Strangers do not shake hands,
but acquaintance do. The covering of
the face when greeting or meeting stran-
gers is considered as O most important
matter of etiquette.

NORTH AMERICAN REHIEW,

In the North american Review for February, the
first article is by Cardinal Manning, and treats OF
the relations Of the Roman Catholic Church to
modern society The eminent author does not
undertake 70 discuss the broad quer ton OF the
relations Of the Church to the State in general
whether the one is subordinate to the other-but
simply essays to determine what can be and
what ought TO be the relations between the
Church in the nineteenth century and the polit.
cal society OF the world in the nineteenth cen
tury." Cardinal Manning is perhaps the most
incorporating champion Of PapRl prerogative
In the whole English.Bpeaklng world, and this
candid and able exposition OF the principles act

turns to ridloule the fears that have been express

sentially an effort to show that in the Springer

convincingy set forth. The author Furthermore
learnedly discusses the legal effect Of the procla

the validity Of the edict was not derived from
law or constitution; the act moved above law In
the plane of statecraft" it was a coup d'etdt and
