Major Harttelot, who was left in charge of a portion of the expedition at Yambura, while Stanley pushed on to Wadelal, has made several attempts to organise an expedition to relieve Stanley, but owing to the hostility of the natives, and the difficult nature of the country to be traversed, he has been unable to carry out his intention.

A report has reached Suakim to the effect that a white man has arrived at the Bahr-el-Ghazel, a tributary of the White Nile, after having con quered the hostile tribes inhabiting the country through which he had traversed.
It is believed that the white man in question is Mr. H. M. Stanley, who when last heard of in April last was encamped in the Upper Aruhimi country, where he was greatly harassed by the hostile natives.

amall islands of the coast of Zanzibar, based upon a conces. sion made by the predecessor of the present Sultan, in satisfaction of an šudejanit Claim zaade against him by the Italians. But late dispatches from Zanzibar indicate that the present Sultan repudiates the act of his predece ser and tenses to ratify the concession. Great Britain has im other points on the west coast. The territorial boundaries of Cape Colony have also been inaterially ext aded towards the north by the British of late years. Upper Egypt is virtually a British dependency. Now British dominion in the Dark Continent has been extended over the erritory lying between Zanzibar and Abyssinin, embracing the real peninsul between the Gull of Aden and the Indian Osaan, and extending westward over the territory explored by Grant, Speke and Livingstone, cabracing the lake region in Equatorial Africa, constituting the headwaters of the Nile.
A London dispatch represents that this latest abse ption of African territory has been accom. plished by the issuance of a royal charter to a trading corporation organized under the name of the East African Company, which is clothed with the power to exercise civil and military authority over the region described.

WAGNER AND LISZT.
**Such a book as this is not meant to agic," says Mr. Hueffer, in the preface to his excelent version of the " Correspondence of Wagner and Lisz." (Grevel & Co.) Mr. Hueffer is right. A critic has remarked that the pastoral style, in poetry, is "an excellent style for hot saying any. shing particular in." In the same way, to read the letters of Wagner and Liszt is an excellent way of not being amused. But were we sent into, this world merely to be amused? It is obvious that we were not. If the epistles of these eminent musicians do not divert, at least they instruct, and, above all, they compel the reader' to pause and think. We can imagine a reader. pausing so long and thinking so deeply that he never went on with the book. The first.

Most of us would say that he might give musical lessons, that he might tune planes, that he might have a variety entertainment—" juvenile parties attendej ”— that he might pitch into other men's operis in the weekly Press. By such devices he might have made his at keep him, which seems more honourable than insisting that his friends should keep him and his art. But Wagner did not understand life and art in that way. He said that he must be ga artist, and an artist on a great, nay, a gigantic scale. Before he could produce his big operas he needed money, leisure and an easy mind. Therefore somebody must provide him with those "necessaries. Generally the man who talks like this is a humbug.
