Mr. Lindloy remained in Africa until
1S73, when the failing health of Mrs.
L. induced him to come back to the
United States. As he spent thirty-nine
ye ais in Africa, speaks the language flu

through the country on foot and on
horse back, there is probably no m3n liv

the natives of Africa. Wo will, then, give,

PROMPTLY AND NEATLY EXECUTED
AT THIS OFFICII.
Naming Hoises.—I liked the English
habit of naming their houses; it si ove the
importance they attach to their homes,
All about the suburbs of Loudon and in
the outlying villages I noticed nearly
every house and cottage had some ap
propriate designation, as Terrace House.
Oak tree House, Ivy Cottage, or some Vil
la, etc., usually cut into the stone gate
post, and this name is put on the address
of the letters. How much better to be
known by your name than by your num
ber! I believe the same custom prevails
in the country, and is common to the
middle classes as well as to the aristo
cracy. It is a good feature. A house or
a farm with an appropriate name, which
everybody recognizes, must have an ad
ded value and importance.—Scribner t
Monthly.
Happy Children Make Happy Men.—
All dissonance of character has its real
foundation in these early impressions.
The happiness of children depends much
on their being as little as possible inter
fered with in their little joys. How
qnickly do their good inclinations unfold
themselves ! How open are they to every
humane and gentle feeling ! Harsh and
erroneous treatment acts in the very op
posite way; it shuts them up. It is not
the ideas, I believe, that one learns, which
really work on the character, but those
which one makes his own, because the im
mediate bearing on our disposition is
what makes them really important. Right
ideas, therefore, may engage tho imagi
nation whoso creations become hereby
only more harmonious. But every fancy
does not act and create in the same de
gree. It is that alone which points out
to the teachers tho different treatment
that is neocamTj.-Oetlrrt.
ly inhabited by three nations or tribes,
the Guineas, the Hottentots and the Zu
lus. The last named tribe extend for
some six hundred miles on the eastern
coast. They have never been guilty of
the infamy of the slave trade, and when
Mr. Lindlev found them forty years ago,
they wero uncontaminated with the vices
of civilization. They were in a state of
nature and furnished a fine illustration of
what the light of nature, unassisted by-
revelation, can do for the elevation of the
human race. They had no idea of a God,
none of the future state, none of the im
mortality of the soul, none of rewards
or punishments beyond the grave. So
completely ignorant were they of these
momentous truths that they had no
words in their language to express them.
Unlike the heathen world in general,
they were not even idolaters, for the sim
ple reason that they had no idea of super
human or superior beings.—They were
afraid, however, of tbe ghosts of then-
ancestors, though they had ill-defined
notions of what these ghosts could do or
could not do. A “ghost” they said, "is
a shadow which cannot be seen." Thev
had (in 1834) no clothing, save an apron
of untanned monkey hides, which was
tied around the waist with sinews taken
from animals. They had no knowledge
of working cotton, wool or flax. They
knew nothing of tho metals, gold, silver,
iron, etc. Their houses wero made of
long poles, an inch or two in diameter,
worked into the shape of a cone and cov«
erod with grass A hole to crawl in was
the only opening in it ; the hut having
neither window nor chimney. The women,
who did all the work for their lordly
masters, dug a holo in the middle of the
hovel, made there the fire, and cooked in
an earthen pot the mush for the family.
When the meal was prepared all gather
ed around the pot and ate with paddles or
wooden spoons. The dogs licked the
pot and the children licked the paddles
and spoons, and that was all she washing
they get. Many children were burned
to death or seriously injured cverv
year by falling into the pit where
the cooking was done. Owing to
tho life of druagery of the women and
to their ignorance, improvidence and
carelessness, a small fraction of the chi!
dren borne by them lived to be grown
The bods in the bub; were nothing but
skins spread on tho floor, the pillov
Iceland.
Mr. James Bripe, in an article in the
Cornhill Magazine, describes Iceland in
a chilly way. Ho says there are no trees,
though apparently there were plenty in
tho tenth century, when we hear of men
hiding among them and being hanged
from them. No corn is grown, nor any
other crop, except a few turnips, and po
tatoes which taste only half ripe. The
only wild quadrupeds are the blue fox
(who has probably come, as the white
bear now and then does, on ice-floes from
Greenland,) and tho reindeer—tho latter
introduced about a century ago and still
uncommon, ranging over the desert
mountains. There is no town except the
capital, a city of 1800 people, no other
{ >lace deserving to bo called even a vil
age, unless it be the hamlet of Akureyii,
on the shore of the Arctic Ocean, with
some fifty houses; no inns (save one in
that village whose resources consist of
two beds, a single jug and basin and a
billiard table); no hens, ducks or geese
(except wild geese); no pigs, no donkeys,
bo roads, no carriages, no shops, no man
ufacturers, no dissenters from the estab
lished Lutheranism, no army, navy, vol
unteers or other guardians of public or
der, except one policeman in Beykjavik,
bo criminals, only two lawyers, and final
ly no snakes. “What, then, is there?”
asks Mr. Brice, and replies, “Snow, moun
tains, glaciers, hot springs, volcanoes,
earthquakes, northern lights, caverns,
morasses, and, above all, deserts.
A Paradise or Sand Pies.—Children in
St Petersburg, Russia, have glorious
times. That is those of them who delight
in making sand pies, or who find huge
enjoyment in digging among sand. In
many of the small parks there are here
and there large open spaces covered with
gravel. Every morning may be seen in
eaeh of these places a largo cone of sand
about four feet high and six feet in di
ameter at tho base. During play hour*
the children of the vicinity flock to the
spot armed with little spades and other
implements, and having little wagons and
other vehicles, all of which are drawn in
to requisition to scatter the sand over
the gravel space. This affords the chil
dren much amusement and gives them
good healthful exercise. The sand cones
ere renewed every moning, the matter
being attended to by the authorities. The
idea appears to be that tho sport gives
the children a taste for physical exercise.
They certainly get lots of fun out of it,
and more than enough to compensate
for the occasional spankings which a too
Careless delving among the dirt undonbt-
•dly earns.

Wxlbtjh Bailet, a colored teacher re
quests to announce that there will be a
meeting in LaGrange, on November 7th,
to consider the question of colored people
colonizing on some of the nuoccnpied
territory of the United States. We hope
if tho negroes feel it to be their interest
to go West, that they will be enabled to
do so. The whites in this county are ready
io help them.—La Grange Reporter.
Woods, of the Hawkinsville Dispatch
ha* abandoned the gonrd vine businea*.
Hi* latest is in the piscatorial line^ and
is in these word, as follows, to-wit: “Mr.
J. A. Turner, of Irwin county, on Satur
day, Mth October, caught with a hook
and line, in the Alapaha river, one hun
dred and twenty five pounds of fish in
above five hoars. They consisted mostly
of jack fish and trout
bolsters were stones or sticks of wood,
Tho natives owned sheep, cows and chick
ens.—These they took with them into
their huts every night as a protection
against wild beast. The heat, filth and
stench from the conglomerated mass
were beyond conception. The chickens
were raised only for their feathers, as the
negroes would neither cat their flesh nor
their eggs. The Zulus had obtained
scraps of iron from CapeTowu. and these
were shaped into rude hoes and spears.—
The hoe was the only agricultural im
plement used. Long ago the Indian corn
had been introduced, and was cultivated
by tho women with the hoe. They also
cultivated a kind of sorghum cane, but
for the seed only. The cano and sorghum
cano seed wero ground into a kind of
meal by rubbing between two rocks, and
this meal was cooked into a kind of
mush.—This, with pumpkins, constituted
the breadstuff of the natives. Their meat
was either beef or mutton. Living on a
coast abounding in fish, they did not
know how to catch them, and would not
eat them when caught by other per
sona!
The government under which the Zulus
lived was a hereditary monarchy. A king
by the name of Charka had subdued many
tribes and his kingdom covered many
hundreds of miles. He was the Napoleon
of Africa, and by his bold innovations
upon the old system of tactics became a
great conquerer. The Eastern Africans
were ignorant of the use of bows and
arrDws, and went to battle, each warrioi*
carrying half dozen spears and an ox-hide
shield. Charka made his spears to be
used as bayonets, and not to be thrown.
He organized his men into companies
and regiments, and when they went into
action, they moved steadily forward up
on their enemies and got into close quar
ters with them. The other tribes were
accustomed to stand at a distanco and
hurl their spears. Charka’s close work
terrified them, and many tribes were over
thrown and became tributary
to him. He was murdered by his broth
er who reigned in his stead.* In an evil
hour the assassin king made war upon
the Dutch at Cape Colony. Twenty-five
Dutchmen armed with muskets killed
fifteen hundred of the Zulus in a single en
gagement. and tho Dutch in the end
broke tbe power of the Charka dynasty.
Tho English now have control of most of
the country which was once snbject to
the African Napoleon.
Mr. Lindley describes these Eastern
Africans as the most honest people on
the globe. Theft is almost unknown
among them, and is invariably punished
with death. They are a litigious people
and are constantly going to law with one
another. All their cases are adjudicated
by the King and his Council. The Zulus
are sprightly and intelligent, fond of
harranguing in public and great talkers
in private. They are very truthful
about indifferent matters and groat liars
where their own interest are concerned.
They are hospitable in their own .way
and are ever rea dy to welcome a stranger,
give him a portion of their mush and a
skin pallet among the sheep and cows in
the hat.
The two great obstacles which tho mis
sionaries have to contend with are super
stition and polygamy. The negroes
believe in ghosts and witch craft, When
a child has fallen in the fire, or an adult
is taken sick, the calamity is attributed
either to the ghost's being offended or to
the effect of witchcraft. There is a med
icine-man who decides that question. If
he say* the ghosts have been offended by
not being sufficiently well fed, the afflic
ted persons set aside a double portion of
to propitiate them. If ho says that
witchcraft is the cause of the trouble,
then is a solemn convocation of the
whol* tribe, no one dare absent himself.
Tbe medicine-man then picks oat the ne
gro who bee the most cows and sheep as
the wicked conjurer. The wretched man
is immediately ran through with a spear,
his wive* sad children are killed, his
are all burned and hie sheep and cattle
are divided between tbe Song and the

hundreds of miles around. Port Natal,
which has been the centre of the opera
tions of Mr. Lindley and other mission
aries on the coast Over a largo belt of
conntry, European civilization has been
introduced to some extent. The natives
in that belt wear shirts if no other cloth-
ing, use horses and plows and cultivate
sugar cane, sweet potatoes and the
cereals. They have also learned to han
dle the axe, the saw and plane. In 1834
the negroes, as we have aid, had no im
plements save the spear and the hoe.
When the latter was worn down almost
to the end, they put a different handle to
it and changed it into an axe, with which
they cut down the reed-like poles that
are used to make tho frame-work of their
houses. Over a large portion of Africa
there is nothing of the timber kind, ex
ccpt these reeds or bushes, which arc
somewhat like the chapparal brush of
Mexico.—The vast plains arc covered
with grass and are roamed over by herds
of antelopes, gazelles, gnus, rabbits, etc.,
which are the prey f f lions, tigers, jack
als, and other ferocious animals. Tho
lion is less courageous and dangerous
than the tiger. He never pursues men
or animals, but lies in wait and makes
a sudden spring. If he fails iu his leap
he gives up and makes no further effort
to catch his intended victim.
The natives having no knives in 1834,
killed their beef cattle by running a spear
in the left side and then cut them up, a*
best they could with their spears and
rude axes. They ate all the beef, inclnd-
iuo entrails, except the bones, and these
were mashed up for the marrow.
A man is valued according to the num
ber of wives he has. Thero is no ro
mance in Africa. The wife is simply a
piece of property, worth ten cows in the
market. These go to the father of the
bride. When a man proposes a purchase,
the father tells his daughter to get ready
to go to the house of her intended. The
girl seldom object*, but if she does she is
tortured into compliance. One of the
methods is to tie the sinew of some
animal around her fingers until she faints.
Another gentle process, is to break a
mud-nost of ferocious ants npon her
naked person and these sling her into
more reasonable frame of mind. It
^omotimes happens that «n old man of
seventy with a dozen wives takes a f. nry
to a girl of fifteen. Ho may bo noted fi r
ins savage character, the girl may loathe
and abhor him, and she may be dread
fully afraid of ill-treatment from his other
wives; but if the father gets the ten cows
he will sell her to the old polygamist and
force her to go with him. Tho wives
hate each other so cordially that tho hus
band is forced to give each of them a se
perato hut. He takes care that each one
shall do work enough to pay him back
for his ten cows. In two weeks after
the birth of a child, the mother straps it
on her shoulders and goes to the field to
work the corn, pumpkins and sorghum,
for the support of her leige lord, and her
children. He loafs around and chats
with other idle men or goes to court to
conduct his own law suit about a cow or
a strip of land.
The narrative of Mr. Lindley suggests
two thoughts. 1 That the so-called
light of nature can never teach man the
character and attributes, of God, and the
duty man owes to him Rome, when
mistress of the world, and at tho head of
the worl l’s civilization, worshipped as her
chief God Jnpiter of Olympus. . The die-
ties to whom the war-like Romans and
the cultivated Greeks bowed down were
all monsters of wickedness. Mr. Lind
ley gives it as his deliberate opinion that
the Africans would never in all time have
emerged from heathenism without aid
and instruction from abroad. This
proves beyond all peradventnre the ne
cessity for missionaries, and answers the
objections to the missionary canse. 2d.
The South has christianized and civilized
more heathens than all the missionaries
in the world for two hundred years. The
North brought these heathens here, and
when they were unprofitable to them as
laborers, turned them over to the South.
Our people have aocomplished the
work so well that even in the judgment
of our enemies, or “late enemies,” (more
appropriately?) they not only “fonght
nobly for the Union,” but are now the
only loyal subjects of his Majesty, Ulysses,
in Ml the South, and are the only persons
in all the South fit to be rulers and trus
ted officials, save the carpet baggers and
their allies of blessed memory and savory
character.—Southern Home.
