Yet, straugs to say, it a young woman should become enceinte abe is immediately killed. Tbe Maaai oue ol these tribes occupy the greater part of the country I traversed, and 1 oaii assure you we bs<d some lively times among them.

Tbese oaves are artificial, and penetrate a great dialanoe through solid rock;. There) can be but one explanation of these caves namely thai they have beeu miues. Their preaeul possessors did not excavate them, aud have uo tradition about their origin. All that can be said m tbat they must have beeu made by a very different race probabl; tbe Eg) iiiiann.

A London correspondent writes : Tber* seems to be a general revival of that old spirit ol adveuture tbat animated Europe at the close of the fifteenth century, when Spain and Kuglaud entered upjn a splendid rivalry for ihe oonquesl ol tbe world. To- day France aud Germany appear to be entering the hats witb England for the colon i nation ol those portions ol tbe globe which have not already been annexed by "The Mother ot Natioui " No trouble can come out of this uewly awakened ambition so long as France and Germany keep clear of Eugliru rights, and thsre is no reason why they should not. But apart from this new ambition cf colon iziuj/ tbe dark plaoes of the world there has grown up witu Stanley's discov- ery of Liviugstone an individual npiril of exploration aud adventure. Tbe Amen oaui have beaded all achievements toward the north pole , tbe Eugliab are busy in tb* (astern seas and iu the heart ot Afrioa. I am favored with some uew and startling facts (briefly referred to in my previous letterr) in connection with East Afrioa tbat are full of tbe deepest interest. Mr. Joseph Tbomhuu, who in 1878 HO conducted th* Royal Geographical Society 'i east central African expedition, the remark able story ol which wss told iu hie book, 1 To tbs Central African Lakes and Back," started in tbe rpring of 1HM2 on another expedition to the Kilimanjaro district. lie travelled over oue thoueaud miles of unex- plored country, and returned recently with a budget ol uotes aud experience that, when revealed to the public, is likely to prove one of the moat startling uarrativei ot modern travel. Mr. Tnoamon is taking a rent in Scotland prior to settling down to work at bis new book, which will direct a new attentiou to the east coast ot Afrioa, more particularly aa tbe traveller (his last expedition, like his previous one, was made under tbe auspices of the geographical society) claims to have discovered a new aud far more expedilioux route to the Vic tcna N YaL/.a than Intliei t j known. A letter junl received Irjiu Mr. Thomson, and which 1 am permitted to quote, says : I am extremely fortunate in being tbe first to explore an entirely unique region geographically and etbnograpbioally a region teeming with interval, containing such features as suow-olsd, extinct volcanoes, rising to a height ol l'.l,000 feet, and now seen for tbe first time , mountain ranges reaching 14,000 feet in altitude, with plateaus at au elevation of '.1,000 feet theluwer plains dotted with wonderfully preserved craters and cones. Another feature ourioua series of beautiful lakes. The region IH, in fact, an epitome ot the geographical features cf the whole of Africa. Tbe great, monotonous stretches of desert, platran region, or foreit, are not fouud here. You have incessant variety and a bit of every thing. Nothing is allowed to pall before one. Of this interesting country I travelled over oue tbousaud miles entirely uew to geographers except through uative reports and Mveral of the featuree have long been subject* of controversy among stay -at home ' scientist*. " My journey also openi up a new route and the horrid old medicine man,' who holds the over the coffin, is called upju to detect tb guilty peisjn, aud generally I: tea upo those poMest-ed of worldly goody in orde tbat they may buy him nil from hie fell accusation. Should tbe person thus ac oused be unable to aatinfy tbe ugauga, he or ahe U compelled u take the caeca, the infu*ion of a poisonous bark; and according aa tbe potion is regulated in strength by the uganga, ao tb* suspected taiuperer with witchcraft either vomits up the potaon and recovers, dies at once from its efleota, or retains it in tbe stomach aud does not die, in which latter oaae tbe natives have rare sport in backlog tbe ill-doer to pieoee witb tbeir blunt knives or in cooking their victim over a alow fire.'' The tint days of all pii'iiiee seem to be very much alike. Ou tbe lower Congo ae far as Stanley Pool phallic worship is prevalent, rustic temples oeiug dedicated to it, but tbe rite* are far less obnoeue (one gatberafrom boih writera ai.il traveller*-) than in tin classic day* of the bacchanalian feasts. The bigbeit form of civilization has a remnant ot aavagery in it. Take in point the bmtory of witchcraft in the New England States, it 11 a* full ot superstitious fear aud inhumanity as anything the de praved African oan enow. Tbe Nikambas, a kindred tribe, believe tbat all dixeasea and physical troubles are due to demons, who are represented materially, in tbs embodiment of tbe malady they incite; there is a smallpox bogey, a fsver-spirit, and in certain temples about Mauyauga you may come across t loathsome repre sentation of tbe foul demon who is imp posed to have inflicted sypbilu on tb* uuhappy nativee, who bnig ofienugs to his shrine with a view to aipaaaiug Lii orue' ravages. " They have little or no know ledge of tbe healing art ; " medicines are represeuted by vague potion* and powders delivered without any reference to thei antiapptio qualities, but merely in regari to their bidden potentialities ot magic.

As to wood, Mr. Dawson says there is an abundant supply of excellent timber in tbe mouotaiuH, but great quantuiei have beeu wanned aud burned by fores tires. Mr. Dawaon says it will be denir able to take some uieanuree to tireoerve Ibe forests, because tbe lumber istxoellent in tbe valleys.

At the bead of Ked Deer and other rivers very large gla/iers exist. Along the Kicking liortte large glaciers also exi*t. Mr. Daw aou says tbe Canadian Pacific Railway is the only railway croaamg tbe uiouiaiun from which glaciers can be eeu, and he says il would be very desirable to have a trigonometrical map of the country, and be has no doubt uch a map will be pre- pared before long. Mr. D4ou na\s the Kooky Mountains afford a fine field for any enterprising mountain ei| lorrr. There are so many peaks to climb, up which man has never ventured.
