THE THRONE o. THUNDER.
Highest Point of Mountains sn the West
CnSsr Of Africa.

Highest Point of Mountains sn the Wes,
Coast of Africa
Mungo Nah Lobeh, the throne, or
place, Of thunder, as the natives call IL,
the Peak of CsmeroOns as the whites
call it, is the highest point on the west
ern side of the African continent.
The first view the vogager gets of it,
who, coming from the northward, has
been coasting for weeks, along low
shores, and up the rivers fringed with
mangrove swamp, is thing no man can
ever forget. Suddenly, right up out Of
the sea, the great mountain rises 20 its
1850 feet, while close at hand, TO west
ward, towers the lovely island mass OF
Fernando Pc 10 its 1O.190 feet; and
great as is its first charm, every time
you see it it becomes greater, although
1T is never the same. Five times l have
been in the beautiful bay at It's foot,
and never seen it twice alike; some
times it is wreathed with indigo black
tornado clouds, sometimes crested with
snow, sometimes standing out hard and
clear as though made of metal, and
sometimes softly gorgeous, with green,
gold, purple, and pink vspors, tinted by
the sunset.
There are only two distinct noun.
tains, OF peaks, to this glorious thing
that biologists brutally call IAN intru-
sive maSs"-Big CAMERON and Little
CAMERON. The latter, Mungo Nah
Etindeh, has not yet been scaled.
though il is only $500 feet; one reason
for this doubtless is that people desir-
Gus of going up mountains, a rather
rare form of human beings in fever
stricken, over-worked West Africa, nat
urally try for the big peak; also the hit
tie peak is mostly sheer cliff. and COW
cred with almost impenetrable bush
Behind the Cameroons mountain, in
land, there are two chains of noun
tains, or one chain detected, bearing
the names of Rumbi and Onion noun
tains.
7 These are little known at present, and
are clearly no relation Of Mungo's; they
are almost at right angles TO it, and are.

EARLY LONDON CONCERTS.

Obscure Beginning of the Present Popa-
lar MusicaIes.
In strange contrast to the present
time, when as many as Sc concerts of
different kinds have been performed in
single week of the London season, is
the obscure beginning of these enter
tainments. Music was a luxury be-
yond the reach of all but favored few
in the days when John Evelyn was in
vited by Mr.. Roger L'Estrange TO hear
Baltzar, the Incompatible Lubicer,"
on the violin, or dined at Arundel house,
to listen to excellent MUSIC perform'd
by the ablest masters, both French and
English, on the orbos, viols, organs and
voices"-composed purposely for the
queens chapel But the general public
had little opportunity Of listening to
music of high class. "Half dozen Of
iddlers," says Sir John Hawkins, In his
History Of Music" "wouId scrape

their audience were tired; after which
as many players ON the hautby would in
most harsh ald discordant tones grata
forth Green Sleeves yellow Stock
ings,' Gillian Of Crowdon,' OF some such
common dance tune, and the people
thought it fair music"
At a much later period we are as
Eured that one of these songs-"Old Sir
Simon the king"--with others such as
'Bobbing Joan" and "Sir George, He
Was fer England" amused Squire
Western IN his cups-for he never.rel
ished any music but what was hight
snd airy. The numerous foreign mu-

much 20 raise the --1c of the pSI-
fornances then thought good enough
for the public. Years, however, were 10
elapse before the art freed itself from
the associations Of the tavern and vocal
and instrumental music could be heard
without the fumes of tobacco smoke or
sn accompanying olatter of pewter
pots.
John Banister, son Of one of the
waits" of the parish of St. Giles-in-
the-Fields, was probably the first TO
set on foot concerts to which the pub

Charles IL, following the example OK
the French court, possessed band com
posed of "a violins, led by Baltzar, na-
tive Of Lubbock, who settled IN England
about the year 1856. BanisteT, who
had been sent by the king to further
his musical education in France, was.
