nal; some observations of Upper Egypt, and Baker's expedition; the underground explorations in Jerusalem; Syrian politics; Turkish politics at Stamboul; archaeological explorations in the Crimea; politics and progress in the Caucasus; projects of Russia in that region; Trans-Caspian affairs; Persian politics, geography, and present conditions; a glance at India; and, finally,--a search for Livingstone in Equatorial Africa! Into this many-branched search for knowledge Stanley now threw himself gave him letters of introduction to General Ignatieff, General Stoletoff, and various Governors and Ministers in Persia. Stanley now travelled through the Caucasus, where he found unexpected civilisation. He rated highly the advantages which Russia's much-censured conquest of the Caucasus had brought in its train: warring tribes brought to peace, feuds and mutual slaughter stopped, local religions and customs respected, and an end put to barbarism and feudality, which terms are almost synon

en the former chapters with more method, was able on the eighty-fifth day to write Finis to the record of the journey. I think the title of it was a happy one--In Darkest Africa, or the Quest, Rescue, and Return of Emin Pasha. It was the choice out of more than fifty taking titles on the same subject, but none of them was so aptly descriptive of the theme. Since then, some dozen or so book-titles have been founded on it, such as Darkest England, Darkest London, Darkest New York, Darkest Russia, etc., etc. It was the custom for Germans, Anglo-Germans, Philo-Germans, etc., etc., for some three or four years later, to print the word Rescue with quotation marks, which signified, of course, so-called ; but if the word is not absolutely truthful, I know not what is true. Emin was rescued from being either sold to the Mahdists, or killed by Fadle Mullah, or perishing through some stupid act of his own; and, so long as he was in the British camp, he was safe. The very day he was kiss

low, likely at any time to amaze the world by generous and just conduct. Within a few hours, I believe I could carve a fair likeness of Kruger out of a piece of tough wood, because no Michael Angelo is needed to do justice to his rugged features and ungainly form, and I would be willing to guarantee that justice to the English would be sooner given by that wooden image than it will be by Mr. Kruger; on that I pin my faith in my perception of what is Kruger's true character. Were either Russia, or Germany, in our position towards South Africa, things could not have come to this pass. Certainly the American Government would not have remained so long blind, not only to duty, but to the ordinary dictates of common-sense, as we have been. A respectable third of the nation, I fancy, feel very much as I do upon the South African question; another third may be said to prefer letting Kruger do just what he pleases, on the ground that no South African question can be of sufficient impo
