These peoplo;I subsequently ascertained to be the Waked1, a tnbe hvmg north of Uaoga. The same people also, in their various wars with Uganda, have frequently been found wearing iron armor. About four years ago, wben exploring the Tanganylka with Livingstone, I heard there existed a race of white people north of Uzige. At that time Livingstone and myself smiled at the absurdity of white people hving in the heart of Afr1c11, and ascribed the report to the brown color of the Warundi. Now I have not only seen tbe country of theee white people, but several specimens of themselves at d1Jl'erent periods and in different plaeee. Vi7ere it not for the negroid hair, I should say they were Europeans o; some light-colored Asiatics, such as Syrians or Armeni· a~s. Apropos ot tpeae singular people, I have heard tbat the first kmg of Kiebakka, a country ao:Jth-west of Ka.ragwe, v . . aS an Arab, whose sc1m1tar is still preserved with great reverence by tho present reigning family of K1suakka.' - · 0 0 ~ 0 ~ ~ ·· .....

But these occasions afford so valuable an oppoTtun1ty for acquiring useful knowledge, that we are very anxious to have it fully improved, An exhibition is a school where much may be karned, if the v1a1tor will take the position and act the part of a scholar. Our young people especially may lay up a valuable etoek of information, if they \Ylll be observant, ask questions, US"'rea.soning po\vers, and, let us add, rnake. notes, for the memory is treacherous.

Reader, arc you a little nervous 1 Of course you are, if you are of the over-taxedf stimulating class. And by stimulation, I don't now refer to the use of ardent spirits, but to the many irritant! so often found on our tables.

Are you worn down by vexatious cares 1 Then roll them off instead of wasting W'e in this way, aioce duty does not demand suicide, Are you nervous iron1 a wunt of altiep, a victim to early rising, or ru:1ing before you have secured sufficient sleep 1 Then retire early, and sleep as long as yo·u feel inclined, satiafy ni.ture at least once, Do yon squander your vital force, and waste nervous energy by the use of the 'vile weed 1' Then throw ·your cigar or q'lid to the dogs No, that would. be loolieb, for dogs would touch neither. l~ven the bogs know too much to de·troy their valuable hvea in that way.
