' ; The almost universal style of dress of all ihe tribes to which I have alluded, consists simply of a piece of cotton cloth, or a cotton handker chief, fastened loosly about ibelr loins ; in &d. difion to which a kind of hat is sometimes (not generally) worn comjposed of the fibres of some one of the numerous indigeneous vegetable sub stances, or of a kind of grass. ;-In additiooi jto the ordinary4 girdle about the loins," some of the natives, particularly tbe kings and headmen, wear a kind of robe, loosely thrown across one shoulder and wrapped around the body. These robes are generally manufactured in be country, from the native cotton, which they spin by a very simple though tedious process, and weave it into narrow: slips, never more than sjx inches wide, by a process exfiibitrng a little in genuity, but not less tedious than lhai .of spin ning, j The natives f intertropical Africa sal. dom encumber their bodies with shirts or pan taloons. n some ases; among those who are partially civilized, these two garments are wop but in tb,e country Hamlets tbey are scarcely ever seen. And most of the children, of boih seres, run about ia s state ot entire nuidity.-p for one hundred and fifty-three dollars, made payable to tbe same individual, and in this in stance, also, admonishiiug the teller to be care. ful in transmitting ihe'' money.

V . . 1 ! . . j xesteraay morning at an early hour, a young woman; was tlirust rudelyvout of a house fronting on the ally in rear of the iJtcnange Hotel. As the morning was quite coia snpw having fallen the previ ous night and as the young woman bad on neither shoes nor gown, not to mention other unknown appendages of female cos tume her forlorn condition attracted the sympathies of ihe passers by, one of whom we learn, posted off for the police, fully impressed with the idea that it was a case requiring magisterial investigation. After Standing awhile at the door which had been so rudely and inhumanely closed a- gainst ber,htpooT girl received from a window a Dove, a pair ot shoes and a por tion of wearing anparel. As mav be rea- dily suppesed she speedily appropriated tnese articles to their accustomed use.- Whilst engaged in dressing, a ladv and gentleman passed by; their attention was arrested by the singular condition of the young woman, and possibly their svmna- ties were excited : be this as it may, the girl was directed to follow them.' which she did right willingly, and was soon lost to ine gaze of the idlers who had stopped andilaugh at her mistbr- affair has given rise to all we have endeavored to obtain the facts ; the above statement con tains, we believe, all that took Dlace in the streets; farther than that we could not go. Rich. 1 tmes.: possibly to jeer! tunes. As the sorts of rumors h y e age The Forest Divorce Case. We were surprised to see advertised in the Raleigh Post, as for! sale at that office, the New York Heralds report of Ihe Forest Di vorce Case, containing " all the evidence" a work prepared to minister to a de- pravrd appetite, and abounding, it is said in filthy and disgusting details. We trust that the foreman has acted in this matter without the advice of the worthy editors of the Post ; but this will not relieve tjem from responsibility, and the Raleigh Times bas dealt out to them a very jus rebuke. It is known that the Post isrnblished at the State Institution totthe Deaf and Dumb, and in referenceio that fact the Times takes if for granted that the Prin cipal will exercise due vigilance to pre vent the pamphlet from foiling into the hands of thepupils especially tbe girls. As the Times suggests, it may well be supposed that the people of the state would prefer that the putiils should forego the advantages of education for a time, rath- er than ,oe exposed to the contamination which the circulation of such a pamphlet might introduce among them. If ? the office of the Weekly Post" can afford to do job work at Northern prices,"- we hope it will not undertake to introduce Northern publications of this character among us at any price.
