Paris.-A new dance has become
the fashion in the drawing rooms of
Paris this winter.
1t comes from Buenos Ayres, and is
called the Argentine Tango" The
music is kind of habanera, and the
dance itself, which is extremely grace
full. is an improved version of the

A roomful of people dancing the Ar

and there is little doubt that the new

oloeists and antiquaries. BY the
Greeks it was called Libya, and by
the Romans, Africa.
With respect to the word Africa,
Suidas tells us that it was the proper
name Of that great city which the Ro-
mans called Carthage, and the Greeks,
Karchedon. 1t is certain, at least,
that it was applied originally to the
country in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Carthage, that part of the
continent first known to the Romans,
and that it was subsequently extended
with their increasing knowledge, till
it came at last to include the whole
continent. Of the meaning of the
name. the language of Carthage itself
supplies simple and natural explain
alton; the word Afrygah, signifying
separate establishment, or in other
words a colony as Carthage was OF
Tyre. So that the Phoenicians of old,
at home, may have spoken of their
Afrygah, just as we speak OF our coll
onies. Be that as it may, the Arabs
of the present day still give the name
of Afrygah or Afrikiyah to the terri
tory of Tunis. 1t may also be re-
marked that the name seems not to
have been used by the Romans till
after the time of the first Punic war,
when they became first acquainted
with what they afterwards called
Africa Propria.
