A River Too Narrow For Oars.

The Quilimane, or Kwakwa, in East
Africa, is the most northerly of the several
channels through which the great River
Zambesi discharges itself into the sea. No
steamers at present call at any of the
mouths of the Zambesi, and as the Quill
name is too small for steam launches, the
journey up-country from Quilimaua has
to be begun in boats.
In many places the river is too narrow
for even oars to be used, and native pad
dies are therefore chiefly employed. The
travellers sit in the deck-house for pro-
lection from the sun, and watch the pad
dlers at their work.
The main road between the Kwakwa
and Zambesi, distance about three miles,
is open, but is mass of water and mud.
At other places, the tall grass six or seven
feet high, almost meets over the travel
er's head. In this case the passenger is
carried by natives in q "machila," or
litter. r.-NeU YORK. Journal.

Ancient Cave Tombs.

The caves of Benz Hassan are ancient
tombs, excavated in the rock on the
shore of the Nile. They are the oldest
monuments in Egypt, excepting the
Pyramids. They are numerous and
spacious, and some of them are exceed
ingly interesting. The sculptures and
paintings are of great variety, represent
ing the occupations and amusements of
the people, and throwing much light on
their modes of life. The paintings are
of various and very brilliant coloring.
The character of the sculptures which
adorn their walls approaches that found
in the tombs surrounding the Pyramids,
but the architecture differs widely.
They are all cheerful looking halls open
to the light of day, many of them with
pillared porches, and all possessing pre-
tentions to architectural ornament either
internal or external. York Dis

Rare FOrtltude In q Doy.

Many of the sportsmen of Wilmington
will perhaps remember Sailor, the fine
pointer dog OF j. A. Brown, of Chad
bourn. he was an extraordinary hunter
and retriever, with almost human tact,
and his owner valued him atseveral hun
dred dollars. A few days ago this fine
dog was run over by the train at Chad
bourn -und his Left fore leg was crushed
off, leaving q piece of tne-boae protrud-
ing.
Mr.. Brown hated to kill his valuable
and faithful dog, so he got DR.. A. Nc
Kinnon to amputate the crushed member
When the operation was performed Sailor
obeyed the command to lie down, and
never even gave whimper when the
work was done. The poor animals
muscles were contracted with pain, bu
with few sympathetic caresses from bis
master he lay perfectly still until the
amputation was performed.- Wilmington

Ruling Passion Streng in Death.

An extraordinary incident occurred
during a recent run with the hounds of
Sir Wakin Williams Wynn. In passing
cottage the fox suddenly found him
self among lot of fowls. Self.
preservation is generally understood to
be the first law OF nature. Not so with
2eynard. The temptation of the situa-
don was too strong for him, and his own
peculiar nature instantly asserted itself.
Absolutely regardless of possible con-
sequences, he snatched up one of the
birds, and, with tenacity of purpose to
be admired, actually carried the fowl
IN his mouth to the end of the run. Then,
tie bird being, of course, already dead,
The fox also paid the death penalty

TO BROIL NEAT.

Not one cook in twenty can broil a
steak perfectly. We are told that a
beefsteak for broiling should be cut
three -fourths of an inch thick, and put
over a hot fire of coal or charcoal.
Quite right, but when it has Drowned
quickly, as it should, and then turned
and. Drowned on the other side, it re-
mains raw in the middle and if left lon
ger the surface burns. This is the cx-
pereuce of the novice, who has yet to
learn two things. First, that immedia-
tely after the first browning the fire must
decrease in heat or the meat be brought
further away, so that the steak may cook
ten or twelve minutes without burning
less time will not cook it nicely in the
middle; and second, that, like baked
meat, the surface must be kept moist
with hot fat. Before your steak is put
over the Goals (unless it be very we'll
streaked with fat, cover it both sides
with melted suet, and afterwards as it
dries spread on a little butter or beef
fat. Have ready in hot platter few
spoonfuls of hot water in which the
bones cut from the steak have been boil
ing, also salt and pepper. When the
steak is done lay it on the platter and
keep it hot for five minutes, turning it
once in the time; thus you will have
both good steak and good gravy.-NeaO
