THE ITALIAN AFRICAN EXPEDITION. Dr. Matteucai, in a lotter dated from El Fisher, capital of Darfar (Central Africa), Hay 11, gives wome account of the progress of the orpedition

He hoped soon to be able to announco his arrival at the capital of Borgan Walai), the confines of which are not far from El Foster. Darfne, Dr. Blattateci states, hay u battar geuoral nupsot thao Kordofan, There is nos that monotony of indefinite arid plátosex withemb vmikod features, and that mangtany of type in the faunn and accumulation of emigrant Arab populations who are found everywhere and who by thoir' opateat porrupt the morals; and type of the natives of various African Kinglois. There is not, as in Kordofan, the coufusion botwon the primitive art of tha savegs and the still more primitiva net ira. ported by the Egyptians, everything in Darfor in savage. The greatest want in Darfur is water, which is sourooly to baobtained over three-fourths of the country. A large extent of sountry has, however, boon pat zador water melons, which might form an excellent substitute for water, only that the wratched oil deprives them of all clear and sarone, Auother ingenions method by which the Darfurians at lowpt to ta obtain a waterenpply is by hollowing out the tranke of the gigantio baobabs which are so plentiful there, and which thus in the rainy season become valuable reoopt noles for water, which keeps freak frer sight | Wat Thermaker.. months.
