Africa had, until the past twenty years, the name of being tin arid, tmhealthfnl country, lie- cause outside of a given distance littl. was known of the land. While it is true that great tracts of country are barren and no water exists, still by ex ploitation it lues been proved that abundant supplies of water can be ob tained which will make the country blos som into a perfect gar’en of flowers. *In the mist arid part I ever visit, d Ugogo—the people dig -.veils and find water, which i.« carefully htornl for a time of drought. Perhaps no tropical country has a more hvaltkfnl climate than Central Africa. In the interior the land rifl -s to a high elevation. The many deaths and sickness among Euro peans are caused more by the conditions of life, absence of accustomed food and go*sl (hx:tors and nursos than from cli matic causes. OCCUPATIONS. ’On the shores of Lake Tanganyika there are at least nine tribes distinctive in physical characteristics, language and fashions and weapons, clothing, archi tecture and domestic life. They are all exjK-rt fishermen, using seines and traj«s, and as the lake tn ms with fi.-h their venturvs are well repaid. Iron and cop per are smelted for manufacture, but in the crudest style. Both of these icetals, in tl:o form of small bars, ivory, rubber, palm oil and dried fish are articles of circulation among distant trilx s. Pot tery of a nido description is also made, while the art of weaving cotton cloth is well known. ‘The character of these natives is in fantile. in confideiico and suspicion, in easy anger and reconciliation, in unde veloped instincts they arc essentially children. Under evil influence, such as the introduction of spirituous liquors and other vices of civilized nations, they rapidly be* omedemoralized.” idea of (Yntr Africans in the Kamo light as Australian or Indian almrigines is absurd.

Horn, ‘ long onougli t.* assure my self that many a so called ‘savage attack' by .African natives was in reality *» gal lant defeii»4** from their point of view; that the low tj*pe African of whom we hear is often but a noble savage degraded by contact with Artib ivory and slave dealers During the past ten or twelve years meny white men and women have lived among tho tribes of tho far interior, and it l»as 1ms*d discovered that they are people of mnch tiie Mine passions as Caucasians. Although easily degraded, they are also capable, when surrounded by favoring circumstances, of rising in civilization and of grasping higher ami better things. •In tho far interior numbers of people in every tribe are slaves. Prisoners of war, those* condemned for witchcraft and other otrem#*a and their families, weakly persons or those in distress, be come slaves. They pass from hand to hand, traveling toward tho coast as tho direction where the value is greatest. There they are collected by traders, Arabs, half casto and African. This system of slavery can be abolished with the aid of the Arab traders. Assure them other modes of living and they will cease to barter slaves with tho tribes that exchange ivory. ‘That tiie Arabs have been invited to the slave trade by the natives; that they prefer ivory, and frequently take slaves only as the alternative; that tho natives suffer more at tho hands of each other than of the Arabs; that the great traffic and most horrible features of the same are essentially African and the interior -are facts testified to by Burton, Baker, Livingstone and Stanley. The slave trade is in uiy opinion an African, not an Arab question, and while stories lave been published of horrors and pil lage committed by Arabs at tho south end of Lake Tanganyika and the north eud of Lake Nyanxa they were untrue and exaggerated. The depredations were committed by the Wawemba and Wagaraganze tribes after the departure of the Arab trader, who kept peace among them."—San Francisco Cbron- de. gray it nlw: t.h-< iv there tiling 1 Kray J - B.
