They require advice, watching and ronaiant
help. 1'beae are the general trulls, while
the exception aerve hy coutraat to make the
rummoa rule more vialhle.
The future, thereiore, look douhlful ti
the Southern people. Therj ia reanon to
fear that the negro rate w ill diwpiear A I
n-adyl it ia plain that it will not I aide to
upply the demand for labor which ia un

The best friend tlwy liave in the world are j
Southern employer, and their worst ene- ;
mie tbomi who, however honestly, are eck ,
fn(f to divert, tbnM aHefllioft frow the pi :
mary quMliiu of bread, and clothing, and i
ulieltex, to th work of governing a gn at .
nation. Unfit at present to leod Uieuis. Ivi , ,
they ought to be spared the miserahlc drlu-
lion of thinking they are tit to make law
tor the world or the irreivtrt nation in it. 1
The direction of tJwir dd wward aui li .
ttlhjecU result in their absolute destrticlion,
physical aa well a moral !
There are many reasons fur lielieving that
the tendency otlllnga 111 the South I toward
the breaking tip of the old system of large i
plantation employing many hand. These (
will continue in some auction la-cause no
other vum can lie made to work auctws
fully. "But It will not be strange if the gen
eral rule shaft hereafter tie more like that
at the North, where the farmer cultivates a
small farm, requiring but few hunda. 1 Here
come in, however, the question of emigra-
. tion whether it can be turned to the South,
and how. The world" history has shown
that emigration does not tend to w arm cli
mate. Hut here are inducements such as
were navcr before offered. A ln'i'l m'r
teeming ilh abundance, rich soil which re
ward labor ten-fold, the prospect of crops
which are mora valuable than mines of gold,
the certainty that the soil will yield sup
port to the laborer and hi family from the
' time, that the teed gows. theae and other
reasons may tempt the wnigrnnt.
But the people of the.. South must do
omethjng to induce emigration, and one of
the first things neceasary is Jo lnmuade
their railway companies to establish second
clas through rates of fare at a low tariff.
The present rate are only local, and very
high. When we compare the cot of gwing
Irom New York to St. Louil or Chicago
with the cot of going a far southward, we
see reason why the emigrant cannot now
.b induced t( try the latter.
There are line opening for the organir.a
tion of emigrant companies in the South.
Largs tracts of improved land can, be
Isiught at a low figure, and these land sold
to emigrant in alternate sections would at
once become more valuable than in the moat
prosperous days of old.

Ilis motion is shambling and 4don't care."
and lii'itltHudes awkward. On the whole. ,
his appearance i striking, and while elicit j
ing criticism, conciliates a kind judgment.
The mission on which lie came, cniiiliini d
too to si'i'tii'i him the most favoralile dispo- ;
sitiona ot our pis.ple. Probably to no one I
ixiin i the lilHraiion ol Mr. Davis so much
hi., as toTlui;i. c Ureily. The position he ,
ia-ciipicd w it1 respect tothe party most dis
posed to si-velltie. enabled him to speak
with powetttil cllect.aiiil lo furnish a shelter
for fhosr' wlm might follow his eouni-eU, ;
hut with le 1 1 .si in to the indulgence ot the
dominant faction.
Hut lew Indies were present, but iu the
solitude of many acliiiinl.er "cut up ferveiit
players in behalf ol the incused. ,shortly
iufore I I o'clock the doors were oem-d to
Ihe eager throng, w ho, although unalile to
priM'tiie tickets, besieged the stairs, and ev
erv loot ol standing room was soon filled.
Klcveii o'clock airivcd, but neither Judge
nor prisoner appeared in the court loom,
although the roll of carriages, resounding
above the hum and Imz of the excited
throng, announced the arrival of Mr. Davir
The sidewalks lielween the hotel and the
court room were thronged w ith curious spec
tator. and it was with ililliculty that a
strong police force, aided by a detachment
of the Klevvulh Inlautry, could keep a pus
s.-ige clear for pedestrian.
So great was theeoneourse in front ol the
Kp tswood, that n stratagem w as n sorted
t.i. Mr. Davis was iscorted b Mr. Mill
ward (one of the proprietors) to the slore
f.ioin. an. I inence made his exit into the
alley at the rear of the hotel, laitween Hth
and Uih streets. Here, accompanied by
General Hurton, Dr. Cooper and Alaj. McKi
rath, he entered a carriage owned and driv
en by Mr. Wm. M. 1-cdley, and driving
through the al'ey to !)lh, the party stole a
march on the throng in trout of the hotel,
and passing up Kill to Main, down Main to
10th, up lllth to Bank, reached the court
I limine without obstruction, and on arriving
Mr. Davis wiu assigned Ui-a private room.
At a quarter alter 1 1 o'clock Judge l'n
! ihrwood took his seat, and the Court was
; opened ill the usual form.
(Expectation now stood on tiptoe, and
i five iiiiuiiir Inter Mr fW'is entered by the
door on ihc h It of the Judge, and was
1 coifed to a .1 -ii iii the uortlueisti in cruer
of the room. He w..ln ssei I ill a suit ol
line llick cloth, flecked wiih tiny gray spots.
and bowed in plraaent recogmtiou ot the
sihiatrMUufta-Ktuck were lavished upon
him. He wore glove oi dark green kid.
Judge L'nderw.iod remarked, that as the
Court was honored) 'by the presence of many
of the brAvcstaud most lionized defender
qf the national honor, ho would dispense
with lbs usuaL totililMj, and waa now ready
to receiv any communication which Gen.
era) Burton might have to tiutke in answer
t Ilia wilt that. li",ii'ho4i ireei,il to him.
General liiirton thereupon -enried his
distinguished priaober into tin: l..n, when:
lie took a seat i.elw.cn Mr. tl'l'oi.oi ni-l Jlv.

FkSTRM. AFRICA THE OORlI.l.A,
M I i i in, . I in, a native nt Paris, but a
naturalized citi.i-n of thi country, resolved,
about twelve years ago, to make an excur
sion into flic interior ot Alrica, somewhere
in the iieighlMirhood of tiie Equator, in
quarters hitherto untrodden by the feet of
while men. Front that time to the present
he has lieen almost constantly employed in
these explorations, and the result is given in
two volumes
His first meeting with
scribes as follow :
a gorilla he dr -
"Suddenly, as we were creeping along in
a'silence w hich iiui.le a heavy breath aemn
loud and distant, the wood were at once
filled with the tremendou barking roar ' of
the got ilia. Then the underbrush swayed
rapidly jut ahead, and presently before u
stood an immense male gorilla. He had
gone through the jungle on hi all fours,
but when he saw our party lie erected him
self ami looked us boldly in the face. He
stood about a doen yards from us, and wa
a sight 1 think I sh.,ll neer fofget. Nearly
six feet high, the pioved four inches shorter)
with immense boiiy, huge chest, and great
muscular 111 ins, with fiercely glaring large,
deep grey eye, and ft hcllbh expression of
f'lce, which set incd to me some nlgJitmars
hioii ; thus t ..nl before us Hie king ol the
African forest. He was not afraid of us.
lie stood tin re and beat his breast with his
huge fists till it sounded like an immense
hats drtiiij. winch j tbwirjHpde ef ereit ,
defiance, meantime giving vent to roar after
roar."
This nion-iei .Hi Chaillu (hot, and the
body, wlieii measiiii-d, proved to be 6ve
led eight inches 111 height, sixty-two inches
tound the chest, nnd nine feet from the ex
tremity ol one outstretched arm to the other.
He subsequently killed, on this trip, twenty
iiiiv of these creatures, the measurement of
ore ol w h'nli proved to lie larger than that
we have just given. The skins and skele
tuna were brought to this country, and
wi re exhibited ,,r a short time in New
Voik and U 'stoii. Strange ty UT, they
elicited but very little liitclest, except
among a few 1, four scientific men. They
were then taken to England, where they
created a great sensation, and M. du Chail
lu became onu ot the lions of the day.
This difference of appreciation of the im
portance of these discoveries in the two
countries can only heaccounted for by the
j -u Id n ut n hi of his first hook, "Adventures
111 Equatorial Aftica,'' which made its ap
pearance shortly alier Ills arrival in Lon
don. He now spent time year completing bia
studies in astronomy, botany, and in acquir
ing the use nt instruments, and the art of
photography, when he again started on his
travels to the same country. Ot this latter
lour, the work before us is the record.
An au.idi.aU shortly alter his arrivel. re
sulted iu the loss of all his instruments, and I
he sent back to England lor more.
"On the arrival of his second hatch ot In
struments he at once started for the interior,
two degree south ol the equator, With the
idea of reaching, if possible, some of the
confluence of the Nile. He bad seven na
tives from the coast as a bodyguard who
accompanied him to the end of his journey.
For the transportation of his outfit at waa
obliged to hire additional men from the dif
ferent trilK-s as lie went along, to the num
lcr ol one hundred and fifty. This journey
lasted upwards of two years, and waa at
tended with even greater dangers than those
which he had encountered in Equatorial
Africa. In the Asliira country he was de
tained tor five month by the plague, which
broke nut about a fortnight after hi arrival,
The natives attributed the visitation to the
influence of his presence ; and, to make
matters worse, the King1, Who had steadily
befriended him, died uf it. M. du Chaillu
waa the only one who escaped the maladv
a fact which Witeed th,tiv to ivt
him with the attributes and title of'Ao Evil
Spirit." This proved to him the cause of
innumerable; difficulties and delayed his
progress greatly. 1 he chiefs refusing to see

long were we to lollnw our traveler through
the various other adventures which he en
countered 011 tins memorable journey. In
regard to its results, we must content our
selves with staling thai he added largely tu
his previous discoveries iu geography, me
teorology, and, in fact, in cverv branch of
science. The men ol the new tribes that he
discovered were much larger in stature than
those he had met w!Th on the sea shore.
There was one exception however to thi
rule, that ot the Obongo tribe, a most inler
eslitiK rilce of dwarls whom he fell in with,
towards the end of his journey, and w ho
are probably identical with the pigmies dc
scribed by Herodotus as living at the head
water of the Nile. They neither plant nor
sow, but lead a 110111 i bcvli !t . Their height
is from four feet three to four tret 1x, and
their bodies are covered w itti tufla of woolly
hair. The journey, up to thi time so lor
tuuate, termiuated disastrously in the ;Aa
