tive chiefs Mrs. Sheldon appeared in
a magnificent white silk ball gown
with long train, audit was quite evil
dent the chiefs understood and ap-
preciated the attention, which had
never been shown them before; they,
in their turn, invariably appeared
in all their fnery. Mrs. Sheldon
showed photographs of people in all
stages.of costume, and yet she assur-
ed the audience she never saw an in
decent act in Africa. In the case of
caravans led by men, women flee out
of sight; but wherever Mrs. Sheldon
welt the women came focking
down to her, bringing their children
with them. She was known as
"Bebe Bwana' - i.e., woman
Master" Mrs. Sheldon maintained
that there is very little of the pure
negro blood about the natives of
Kilima-Njaro, and said that one
could not stay with them without
being struck by their intelligence.
Mrs. Sheldon IN speaking OF the SIM
plemanufactpres Of the people, stated
that she was besieged with requests
for English tools-saws, hammersa and
other things; and maintained that, if
the people could make the beautiful
and elaborate things which she show
ed, they could be taught to do other
things. The charge made against
Africans that they were lazy, she
stated, was most unfounded. Mrs.
Sheldon dwelt at considerable length
on the methods of ornamentation
by the natives; many of the patterns,
she maintained, have really been in
troduced through contact with Eu-
ropeans.
Mrs. Sheldon was listened to with
great interest, and, on the motion of
the President, she received a hearty
vote of thanks.

Spectator, January Both

Reports are, we see, current hat
the Parnellitics and Anti-Parnelites
are to unite again in one compact
Nationalist Party. There are obvi-
ously negotiations going on, there is
a lull in the discharge of verbal ar
tillery, and the English Gladstonians
are speaking to Doth factions like
seconds who wish to prevent their
principals from fighting. The di
culties are many, but Irishmen kiss
and make friends, when that course
pays them, in a marvellous way and
if the groups can agree on a leader,
the "old eighty-six" may meet Par
Lament with an unbroken front, and
an assurance that, except in Tory
journals, their mutual love has never
been broken for an hour. We hope
it may prove so, for then, if Home
rule is defeated, ireland will Under
stand that it was defeated on its
merits, and not in consequence of.
accidental internal discussions. We
wish neither to snatch victories, nor
to fight with a mob instead of a regi-
ment, and derive no pleasure what
ever from seeing ireland in a con
dition of political anarchy, which, if
it continued, would prove her chill
dren unworthy not only of separate
elf-government, but Of sharing in
ours. We shall, however. be very
curious to see whether the Irish
Catholic Church will be favourable
to the reunion. She will be q little

MRS. SHELDON ON AFRICA.
From the lien esq.,

interest. The President, Dr. Il. Is.
Tyler, was in the chair, and there
was a large gathering to hear Mrs.
French Sheldon give an account Of
the many curious and original obser-
vations which she was enabled to
make during her.remarkable journey
from Mombasa to Kilima-Njaro in
East Africa. Her lecture referred
chiefly to the country between Teita
and Kilmangelia.
After Mrs. Sheldon and her inter
esting lecture, the most attractive
feature of the evening was the very
fine exhibition Of objects which she
has been able to bring back from
Africa. 1T was admitted on all
hands hat this was the richest and
rarest exhibition ever held in con-
nexion with the society. Mrs. Shell
den was able to win the confidence
of the natl yes, and especially of the
women, in a way no male traveller
can ever hope to do; and in this way
the succeeded in obtaining informa-
ton of great interest and novelty,
and in securing objects which had
never been seen out ofAfrica before.
These objects are beautifully arrang-
ed and, as might be expected,
attracted great al .antion. In addi-
ton Mrs Sheldon showed by means
of the lantern, a large number
of photographs illustrative of the
types of people and their manners
and customs. Among the exhibits
were articles of female attire which
had actually been worn by native
women, and which they would not
part with to men; there were bells
worn on the little black ba-
bies' ankles to encourage them to
walk, wigs, rings, fg-leaf aprons,
bracelets, anklets, belts, and girdles
of beads; hair ornaments, beautiful
spears, shields, poisoned arrows, pom
be cups, household utensils, and a
multitude Of other strange and curl
Gus things.
Mrs. Sheldon, in her lecture, gave
many interesting details concerning
the marriage and funeral customs of
the natives, she, by a rare favour,
having been permitted to be present
at a funeral GER mony. She told
how the nauseous native medicine is
forced down the poor infants Threats,
and gave many hitherto unknown de-
tails concerning the treatment Of
children and about the ways and the
feelings of nativewomankind The a
tives always show great unwilllngness
to allow travellers to be actual wit
nesses of their methods ofdoing smith
work; but Mrs. Sheldon succeeded
in learning all about hat, and the
details she gave were Of great inter
est. She saw them making chains
and knives and spears, and the &C
count she gave tended greatly to
raise European ideas Of the ingenuity
and the patience and the artistic taste
of the natives. Mrs. Shsldon has
copies Of the moulds from which
the spears are made; and she adduced
evidence of a comparatively recent
stone age. She, of course had q

week. Clericals and Jacobins may
swear a truce with the intention OF
keeping it, but their governing ideas
have a good many points of rather
acute difference.
The new Education Bill is being
strenuosly debated in the Prussian
Parliament, the Liberals opposing it
as more clerical than the Clericals
themselves. Herr E. Richter des-
cribes it as San order to every child
to believe in God" and declares that
its logical sequence is a confessional
University, a confessional Poor Law,
and a confessional Army. 1t is
stated that the Emperor is startled
by the extent of the resistance,
which has been accentuated by the
resignation of DR.. MIGUEL, the Minis
ter of Finance, on the ground of the
expense the Bill will involve. At
ter a conference with him, and the
Minister Of Edu alton, it has been
arrangedthat certain concessions shall
be made in Committee, and that
Herr MIGUEL shall wait for that stage
ofthe Bill; but it is not certain that
the measure can be carried at all.
The Government has a customary ma
iority of thirty-six, but Herr Bennig-
sen has broken away from it, and
the majority may disappear. The
effect Of the Bill on Jews greatly
sharpens the opposition. The major
ity OF Jews in Prussia are reformed"
but as they belong to nc recognised
confession" their children will be
educated like Christians. BY the
latest accounts the Emperor will
p~ersevere.
The new Khedivo of Egypt, Alb
bas H., has marked his accession
by lowering the price Of salt by 40
per cent, and by abolishing alto
gether the professional license duty.
Sir Evelyn Barring knows his bust
ness; but if it is true that the Egyp-
tian Budget will this year show &
surplus Of a million sterling, We
hope that some remission will be
announced stillmoredirectly benefit
ing the c~ultivator. If he could on
ly be allowed to accumulate a
little, it would be a better Sc
curity for Egyptian finance than
even the British Minister'S sound
management. The professional tax
fell chiefly on the poorer Europeans,
whose presence, though unavoidable,
is not an unmixed benefit to Egypt:
and the salt tax is not the oppression
in Oriental climates which it. is be-
lieved to be in Europe. The people
do not eat sailed food, and as long
as the consumption per head does
not diminish, we may be pretty sure
that they obtain as much as is in
dispensable to heat h It is the land
