In our reference to bis appointment yesterday we alluded to his book, "The Rise of our East African Empire" as revealing the mettle of the man, and, though the work in vel intended as an autobiography, there are neverthelme scattered among its pages many most inforesting satobiographical details, from which we propose to make a few | Grouing at Mansowa, I went to a café, and learntitable employment in the servics.
