To the Editor of the New York Herald:
"The Herald correspondent who found
us during our days halt at Mauwah, fYo
days from the coast, has made it q point
that should write to you. beg you to
believe that should be most willing to
do so did know what subject would be
particularly gratifying to you but as the
ta Herald correspondent cannot suggest a
subject you will perhaps consider that it
would be scarcely fair to expect me to
know matters your readers would be most
Interested in.
HAPPY AS AN HONEST LABoGER.
"I find 1t then most convenient to
imagine you able TO tell my friends much
that should like TO say to them. First
of all am in perfect health and feel like

home with his weeks work done, his
weeks wages in bis pocket and glad that
to morrow is the Sabbath.
N DUTY WAS NOT sHIRTED.
"Just about three years ago, while lec-
turing in New England, q message came
from under the sea bidding me to hasten
and take commission and relieve Emin
Pseha at Wadeiai; but, as people gener-
ally do with faithful pack horses, num-
bers OF little tribes, odds and ends are
PILED on over and above the proper bur
den. Twenty various little commissions
were added 10 the principal one, each re-
quiring daa care and thought. Well
looking back over what has been accom-
plshed, see no reason Tor any hearts
discomfort. We can say we shIrked no
task anu thet good will, sided by steady
effort, enabled US TO complete every little
job as we'll as circumstances permitted.
GEOGRAPHICAL DISCOVERIES.

our appointed duties we have not been
unfortunate in geographical discoveries.
The ATuwjmi is now known from its
source to its bourne. The great Congo
forest, covering as large an area as
France AMI the Iherian Peninsula, we
can now certify TO be an absolute fact.
The Mcuatsins of the Moon this time,
