Frances Occupation Of Timbaetoo Adds

covery Of singular interest and I'm

man. Timhuctoo, as all the world
knows, stands on the boundary line
between the Sahara and the western
soudan-a little to the north Of the
great Nicer bead. but what was not
known was the existence in the immc-
diase nelshborhood Of the city. and ly
ing somewhat 70 the west. Of a series
OF lakes and marshes covering a large
area Of country. These great sheets OF
watsr weFe first seen by the Jotfre

BY French officers stationed in the
relShhureo0d. who have laid down their
general outlines with some approach
to accuracy. The most important OF
these lakes IS called Lake Faguibure,
and runs 10 a direction, roughly. east

sixty or seveaty miles. A couple OF

AT VIRGINIA COLLEGE.

al Ih0lN Ia COILE1tIf
The Schubert Quartette gave most de.
lightful concert last night ut the Vir-
ginia College. The audience was com
posed principally sof the young ladies OF
the college, the entertainment being of Il
somewhat private character. The rerrl-
tation of this Quartette for fine work is
such that it would be useless to attempt
ii criticism, for it is wellnigh faultless.
The duet, "Wanderer's Night Song" by
Messrs. johnson and HOLSTER was spe-
cally fine, Mr.. HOLSTERS bass being one
of the finest ever heard in this city, hav.
ing a register from b fiat to f. The bari
tone solo of Mr.. Wadis, The EXile's Re
turn" was another number that was en-
Enthusiastically received, Mr.. Battle in
IL solo, Chime Eyes showed Il high
tenor voice of rare culture, and was ap.
plaudcd to the echo. Miss Hughes. as
harplst, rendered several solos on that
instrument in an inimitable manner, and
was encored repeatedly. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that more people could not have
had an opportunity to enjoy this concert,
