The successful results of the great
expedition of Sir Samuel Baker
into Central Africa, chief among which
is the conquest of an extensive territory
hitherto the paradise of African slav-.“
traders, to say nothing of important
geographical discoveries, have been
briefly stated in recent cable dispatch
es. A special telegram to the New
York Herald from Khartoum, the
junction of the Blue and White Niles,
via Alexandria, Egypt, July (ith, gives
the following account of the expedi
tion, with a condensed history of Ba
ker’s four years’ experience as Gov
ernor General of Central Africa:
RETURN OF THE EXPEDITION.
I hasten to communicate to you facts
of the highest importance and interest
in connection with the expedition of
Sir Samuel Baker, who has reached
this place from the lake regions and
the far South. On Sunday, the 29th
of June, the English Pacha, as Baker
is called, arrived at Khartoum, ac
companied by Lady Baker, his neph
ew, Lieutenant Baker, and seven Eng
lish engineers, besides his personal at
tendants. They had traveled hither
from Gondokoto, using one of the
steamers which had been taken up
country for the navigation of the lakes,
and occupying a period of thirty-two
days for the journey.
Baker lias accomplished even more
than was expected of him. He has
penetrated as far southward as Mo-
sindi, which is a point near the head
villages of the chiefs Kabri and Kam-
rasi. On reaching this place the
Pacha found that the ivory and slave
traders had spread all kinds of evil
rumors about the expedition, inflam
ing the native tribes against it. Ka-
briki lmd been informed by them that
Baker Pacha was coming at the head
of an Egyptian army, to take forcible
possession of his country and annex to
Egypt, with the view of exacting
heavy taxes and tributes and carrying
away the people. It was accordingly
agreed between the traders and the
negro chiefs to
MURDER BAKER,
if possible, and by every means to
prevent the progress of the Egyptian
soldiers. Shortly alter the arrival of
the Pacha with a portion of his troops
at Mosindi, lvabriki, following an
African custom, sent Un jars of pombe
—a beverage resembling beer—to the
strangers. This liquor wns heavily
CIIAROED WITH
and all the soldiers who partook of it
were suddenly seized with frightful
symptoms and soon fell to the earth
insensible and apparently lifeless. By
administering strong antidotes the
poison was neutralized in every case,
and no lives were lost. Baker then
dispatched some of his officers as
messengers to demand why that poison
beer had been sent into the camp; but
as soon as they entered the negro
village, Knbriki ordered them to be
killed, and they were all immedia
tely
MURDERED IX COLD BLOOD.
War was then proclaimed, the chief
beating bis great drums and ordering
a levy of ten thousand warriors. A
large body o ( these attacked the I’ncha,
who had only a hundred odd Egyptian
troops with him. These men were all
greatly fatigued with their longjourney
into the interior, and soiuo of them
were suffering from tho poisoned drink.
Baker was therefore compelled to beat
a retreat before the swarms of enemies
assailing him, and be retired after
burning bis camp and heavy baggage.
During seven days of great danger and
and hardship the backward march o(
the Egyptians was sorely harrassed,
and as many as thirty men were left
dead on the route. At the end of this
perilous week the English Pacha came
to the province of Rewinka, a chief
hostile to Kabrik, and welcome assist
ance was then obtained. The
needed, Baker commenced systemat
ically to organize the districts which
were in Ais possession. He made
Fatiko t'e chief town of the new terri
tory, aid appointed superintendents at
the idfier stations. Before long the
natives settled down wonderfully well
under the new government, and ap
peared exceedingly satisfied with the
s»fety and quiet which it afforded,
l’lie light tribute exacted of a basket
of bread and a bundle of grass per
month for each but was paid with
alacrity and regularity’; and where Sir
Samuel went finally northward, hav
ing established the reinforcements sent
him along the annexed region, the ne
groes at Fatiko gave him the most
vociferous farewells, calling him “fath
er” and “master,” aud looking upon
him as
THIR FUTURE PROTECTOR.
The term of the contract eigned by
Sir Samuel Baker and hv the English
engineers with the Khedive had
now expired, and having made all
arrangements the Pacha embarked at
Gondokoro in one of the steamers
brought up country by the expedition.
Another vessel of the same model has
been successfully carried as far as
Gondokoro, and as soon as camel tran
sportation can lie obtained it may be
taken to the lakes and sent afloat
there. The third of
THE THREE IRON VESSELS,
sent up in pieces with the same object
lies yet at Khartoum, the difficulties of
transport having proved extremely
great.
Next to Fatiko the chief station of
the new territory 7 will be Gondokoro.
Baker has marked out eight more spots
as principal spots, and these will con
stitute a chain leading from Nubia to
the Albert Nyanza. One thousand
additional troops have been ordered
down to complete the garrison of these
stations.
Thus mu ch for the political portion
of the tidings brought by the gallant
Pacha. I have further
A MOST IMPORTANT GEORGR.VPHICAL
DISCOVERY
to communicate—one which cannot
fail, I think, to astound many scien
tific men in England. It is declared
as an ascertained tact by the returning
party that Lake Tanganikaand Albert
Nyanza are proved to be one and the
same water. The length of this mag
nificentinland sea, thus for the first
time known to mankind, is not less
than seven hundred miles, and it is
announced as positive that a vessel can
bo Iaunccd above Murchison's Falls,
at the head of the Nyanza, and sail
nv.ay to Ujiji, or lower, through ten
— — or jaiiiuue. _
Ills LADY AND SUITE
were all in excellent health when they
arrived; and they leave us to-day by
the Berber country for Souakin, to
which port the Egyptian government
is dispatching a special steamer, which
will bring them up the Red Sea to
Suez. No losses have occurred of late
among the Europeans from sickness,
except that of Mr. Higginbotham, the
chief engineer. I send yon this intelli
gence direct from the lips of the eman
cipator of Central Africa.
Glass Bonnets—The Latest
Novelty fob Ladies.—Whatever
may be said of the aim or result of
the Vienna Exposition, it has certainly
been the means of bringing together the
choicest products of the world, and of
giving the people of various nations
new ideas concerning matters of which
they have never before thought. In no
direction has a wider range been given
than in the manufacture of glass, and
new forms, designs and uses of this
material arc now presented to the
world for the first time. Conspicuous
among these is a lady’s bonnet or head
dress, which, for elegance and beauty,
cannot be excelled. The idea of a glass
hat is certainly novel, and many objec
tions might be made to it on account
of the fragile material, but in reabty 7
tbe glass is much stronger and more
durable than the delicate materials now
in use for the same purpose.
These articles, as may be imagined,
come from Bohemia, and they have al
ready gained a fnir share of popu'arity.
Specimens have been sent to Paris and
London, and that we should not be
behind hand in so important a matter,
an enterprisnig firm in this country
imported quite a number, and will
immediately begin their manufacture,
to be ready for the fall season.
These hats are of the most delicate
and beautiful design, and such is their
adaptability to all costumes and occa
sions that they will probably soon come
to universal use. The body ol their
hat is made of loose pieces of the fine
glass, fastened closely together bv a
gutta-percha band, which allows it to
conform to the head. Inside there is a
lining of silk, which is the only piece of
fabric used in the manufacture.
The trimmings on the outside are
after the prevailing mode, consisting
of wreaths, flowers, feathers and ribbons
all made of delicately spun glass of
wonderful bounty. Qf course all the
trimmings have their natural colors,
and by a patent process the glassy
appearance is so well subdued that the
material is not suipoctid. The most
beautiful humming birds and flowers
are used far ornamentation, an 1 c ilored
so nationly that iu u;ip?arn ::s they
are superior to the usual artifk
THE SECRET OP A WIFE’S POWER.
Nothing is more-beautiful than the be
lief Of the faithful wife that her husband
lias all the talents, and could, if he would,
be distinguished in any walk in life;
and. nothing will be more beautiful—un
less this is this is a very dry time for
signs—than the husband’s*belief that his
wife is capable of taking charge of any
of the. afluirs of this confused planet.
There is up woman but thinks that her
husband, the green-grocer, could write
poetry if he hack give his mind to it, or
else, she thinks small beer poetry in com
parison with an occupation or accom
plishment purely vegetable. It is touch
ing to see the look ot* pride with which
the wife turns to her husband lrom
any more brilliant personal presence or
display- Of.-wit than his, in the perfect
confidence' that if the world knew
there wqpid be one more popuhtt - idol.
How she magnifies his small wit, and
dotes upon lUo self satisfied look in his
face as.if it .were a sign of wisdom.

There are'aigreaV^^^yrwpoRiJs in tMir
retired homes who urn more for the
ty and sucotss of atmies iu critical mo
ments, in the late war, than any of the
“high-cockfa-lorum” commanders. Mrs.
Corporal dpes not envy the reputation of
Gen. Sheridan^ she knows very well who
really won Five Forks, for she has heard
the story a hundred times, and will .hear
it a hundred times more with apparently
unabated interest. What a general her
husbanU would have made; and how his
talking talent could shine in Congress!
Herbert—Nonsense. There isn’t a wife
in the world who has not taken the ex
act measure of her bnsband, weighed
him in her own mind, and knows him as
well as if she had ordered him alter de
signs and specifications of her own.
That knowledge, however, she ordina
rily keeps to herself, and she enters into
a league with 'her husband, which he
was never admitted to the secret of, to
impose upon the world. In nine ont of
ten cases he more than half believes that
he is wbat his wife tells him lie is. At
any rate she maneges him as easily ns
the keeper does the elephant, with only
bamboo wand and u sharp spike in the
end. Usually she flatters him. but she
has the means ot pricking clear through
the hide on occasion. It is the great se
cret of her power to have him thiuk that
she thoroughly believes in him.
NEW MEXICAN MERMAID.

one ot our New Mexican coaches. In

and fishing- tackle, which he carried as
a part of Iris baggage. As the coach
drove over the Acequia bridge, theyouth

KILL THE TREACHEROUS NEGRO-
Baker promised that if this expe
dition was successful Rewinka should
be appointed Governor of his own and
Kabriki’s district in the name or the
Viceroy of Egypt. With the remain
der of his foree the Pacha returned
towards Fatiko, but on reaching a
place called Lazarlta (?) he and his
men were unexpectedly fired upon
from the houses of the slave-traders
there. Thirty of Baker’s soldiers were
thus slain; the remainder entrenched
themselves till assistance could be
obtained, and then issued from their
entrenchment to attack the traders,
who held a strong position in dense
thickets of reeds.
THE ATTACK
was very successful; the reed beds
were taken by storm, nnd 140 of jibe
slavers’party were slain, many priso
ners being also captured, while the
remainder fled inland. The captives,
in explanation of the attack made
upon Sir Samuel’s command, said that
the orders of tbeir masters and of the
chiefs friendly to them were to kill “the
Nazarone,” (meaning Bakers,) wher
ever and whenever they could. They
all confirmed this declaration, which
was drawn up from their own mouths,
signed and sealed by each, and then
forwarded to the government of Sou
dan, at Khartoum, as a documentary
proof of the malignancy of these slave-
bunting merchants.
