The Ashantees See Sights.

The natives of these Jaman villages
had never seen white man before, and
I noticed at first with some surprise
that those Of our actions which inter.
ested them most were the simple and
commonplace ones. To such matters as
eating and dressing they gave the clos
est attention. Every morning when I
emerged from my tent I found large
audience waiting patiently for the per-
formance to begin, and when took my
place at the washstand crowd closed
round, forming a large circle. They fol-
lowed the whole process with the great
est enjoyment, discussing and explain
ing to one another the various details
and now and again raising shouts Of
applause as some peculiarly amusing
feature Of the performance (such as the
use Of the nailbrush) occurred. When I
produced my toothbrush and proceeded
to put it to its natural use, there was
much anxious discussion, and when I
brushed my hair up and made it stand
on end they yelled with delight.
As for the opening Of a bottle Of
champagne, which occurred on one oc-
casion after an unusually long march)
it simply brought down the house. al
though the spectators somewhat abrupt
ly dispersed and viewed the remainder
Of the performance around the corners

"a Worcester man, (" says the Worces-

trips to Europe fell in with fascinat-
ing stranger the last time he was across.
The stranger, who may be designated
as Ferguson because that does not
sound at all like his real name, was an
American, his manners were those of a
gentleman, and he seemed to be we'll
supplied with money and to know q
great many people worth knowing. In
conversation with the Worcester man
one day Ferguson said: Worcester is
charming city, and have some very
dear friends there. Ipresume you know
Colonel E. J. Russell? He is an old and
highly esteemed friend, to whom am
deeply indebted for many favors.'
When the Worcester man returned
home, he met Colonel Russell one day
and in course of conversation remarked
that he had met man in Europe who
said that he was an old friend. Colonel
Russell thought for moment, and then
he replied: ooh, yes, remember Fer
guson very WELT ought to, for he
lived with me for seven years once. II

prison at Charlestown, and I will say
that Ferguson was one of the quietest
