LONDON, April 8. -Stanley. in his let.
ter to his Edinburgh friend, Bruce, who
is Livingstone's son-in-law, gives a gen.
eral idea Of the journey, without enter
ing into the fullest details. The letter
contains picturesque description OF the
scenes traversed by him and his forces.
or the immense forest through which he
passed he says:
I'VE ga " nothing that looked like a
smile, a kind thought or moral sensa-
ton. The aborigines are wild and utter
ly savage, and incorrigibly vindictive.
The dwarfs, called Wambutti, are far
worse than the animal life, they are go
wild and shy. No sport can be enjoyed
in the gloom Of the forest. 1t IL a per-
petual river, dark and somber. The sky
resembles the wintry sky of England.
The face Of nature and OF life Is fixed
and joyless,"
He compared the sensations OF people
on emerging from these scenes with
those Of London citizens on Derby day.
The men, he says, we're mad with Joy.
He describes how he came across an out
cast leper bag. She was ugly and
vicious and refused absolutely TO give
him any information. He placed a
young and handsome native beside her,
when she smiled and became voluble
enough. Beauty and youth, Stanley
says, had tanned the beast In her. This
letter is full Of curious experiences.-
