SCENES IN COLOMBO, CEYLoE.-Here
comes stridiog through the press a
gaunt, wild looking specter, nude to the
waist, his huge bones seeming to start
through his brown, leather skin, and his
fierce, black eyes glazing out beneath a
forest of shaggy hair. There, with the
slow step and stately of man who knows
his own importance, comes tall form
with the shaver crown, long yellow robe,
and red fan of Buddhist priest, carry

temples and island monasteries of Siam.

Queer Notions Concerning America.

An English lady who had travelled
over the greater part OF Europe said
she had great desire to come to
America, and her principal object In
doing SO was to shoot Niagara.
rather opened my eyes at this, and
said that | thought she must refer to
the celebrated trip down the rapids of
the st. Lawrence, but she was very
positive on the subject. and said she
meant Niagara, and nothing else; she
had understood that they did it in a
steamboat, and she knew she should
enjoy the sensation.
A well-educated middle-aged gentle
man told me that the reason our civil
war lasted so long was that we had no
military men in our country, and that
a war carried on entirely by civilians
could not proceed very rapidly. If
anv of YOU have ever seen an English
atlas you will understand why 1t is
difficult to get from it good idea of
America. We shall find, in such an
atlas, full and complete maps of every
European country and principality, a
whole page being sometimes given to
an island, or to a colony in Asia and
Africa; but the entire United States,
with sometimes the whole of North
America besides, is crowded into a
single map. Some of these are SO
small that the New England States are
not large enough to contain their
names, and are designated by letters
which refer to the names printed in an
open part of the Atlantic Ocean. No
wonder that the people who use these
maps have a limited idea of our coun-
try.
But it is not only English people
who appear to know very little about
America. A German countess once
asked me if we had any theaters in
New York, and when told her that
there were not only great many
theaters in that city, but that it posses
sed two grand opera-houses at which,
at that time, two of the leading prima
donnas of the world were singing on
the same nights, she was a little sur
prised. 1t is quite common in various
parts of the Continent to hear people
speak of the late war between North
and South America. They knew that
the war was between the North and
the South, and as it was in America,
the mistake is natural enough to peo-
pie who have studied only European
geography. -frGn5 Il. STOCKTON, IN st.

in conversation with the gentleman.

"And what are they?
"Why, she has discovered that her

WOMEN OF CENTRAL soUDAN.
BEvY OF AFRICAN BEAUTIES-DRESs AND
JEwELgY-sOCIAL RESTRICTIONS.

The women of the household have got
over their first tremors, and come to the
conclusion that we are a good nasured
aud harmless looking sort of fellows.
AcGrst they peep over the wall or out of
neighboring doorways, till, growing
! bolder, they venture in groups out of
their hiding places to see, and doubtless
to be seen, Not to alarm tbem, we take
notes surreputiously, aud observe that
they make up quite an chronological col

Nupe and 1oruba specimens from tue
Niger districts, and others from the
tribes of Adamawa and the Benne
region. Clearly our friend is man of
catholic tastes III the matter of women.
His harem presents ell kinds of face and
figures, from the copper coiered Fillani,
with slender, 1.-THE figure, we'll shaped
face and positively beautiful eyes, to the
shapeless skin, ugly face and muddy
! eyes vi the lowest negro Tyre.
They are all dressed alike, with a low
er turkedi or ciout round the waist, hang
lug to the ankles, a second sheet wound
round the body under the armpits, and
a third worn in the varied modes OF a
shaw. on the head aud shoulders. The
| HAIR is gathered into u solid ridge of
| grease and hair, which extends from the
brow to the nape OF the neck, something
after the manner Of the crest of helmet.
From each temple hang kind Of still
/ love lock. The ankles are adorned with
enormously heavy ankiets of solid brass,
the bar being iittie short of an inch and
halt III thickness, the ends oruamented
with neatly made polygoDai beads.
Nothing better finished could be turned
out OF European workshop. Round
the wrist are placed severed more brass
bracelets, Dot so extensively made, but

arms the wearers are frequently to be

or hanging down their backs. Their or

beads made Ill the country. The women.

checks of dark blue, Medium tint of

| those who can afford expensive articles
! the latter two colors are prevalent.
| Strangers are not usually admitted in
to the family compound, but it must not
| be supposed that the women are strictly
kept inside and never let out. Quite
the reverse. In the evenings they are
almost invariably left at liberty to wan
der forth and join in any dance or mer-
rymaklug there may be afoot, and [
would not like to be responsible for the
| statement that their behavior is always
best on these occasions. Daring the
day, also it any of the women have any
thing 10 bny or sell ct the market there
is no restriction to their going thither.
In the more wealthy families, however,
there is always one If not two wives who
are kept in strict seciusion, and not in
