THE NOTE OF KANO. Hans and Fritz were two Deutschers who lived side hy side, Remote from the world, its deceit and its pride ; With their pretzels aud beer the spare moments were spent, And the fruits-of their labor were peace and content. Hans purchased a horse of a neighbor one day. And lacking part ol' the Geld-as they . g- ?ay-~ Made a call upon Fritz to solicit a loan - To help pay for his beautiful roan. Frita kindly Consented tho money to lena, As 1 gave the required amount to his friend ; Remarking-his own simply language to quote " Berhaps jt vos bedder vo make us a note." The note was drawn up in their primi tive wav " I Hans gets"from Fritz fcefty tollars to day" - When tho question arose, the note being made, "Vieh von holds dot bapcr until it vas baid ?" " You geeps dot," said Fritz, "and den you viii kn?w You owes me dot money." Says Hans ; " Dot ish so : Dot makes me remember I haf dot to bay, Und I prings you der note and der mon ey some day." A month had expired when Hans, as agreed. Paid back the amount,- and from debt he was freed, Says Fritz, "Now, dot settles us." Hans replies. " Yaw ; Now who dakes dot baper accordings by law?? " I geeps dot now, aind't it?" says Fritz ; " den you see I alwavs remembers you baid dot to me." Says Hans ; " Dot ish so ; it vos uow shust so blain Dot I knows vot to do ven I porrows again." J'rom the New American Cyclopaedia. LIBERIA, a republic of American nsgroes on the W. coast of Africa, extending S. E. along the coast from the British colony of Sierra Leone about 500 m. to the San Pedro river, with an average breadth of 50 m., between lat. 4? 20x and - 7? 20x N., long. 6? 50* and 12? 40* W. ; area, about 30,000 sq, m. It is divided into 4 counties : Mesurado, Bassa, Si nou, and Cape Palmas. The capital and largest town is Monrovia, a sea . port on Cape Mesurado, with about 2,000 inhabitants. The other towns are Marshall, Edina, Grand Bassa, and Greenville on the coast, and Cald well, Louisiana, Millsburg, Bexley, * and Cresson in the interior. The general line of the coast is from N. W. to S. E. There are several inlets and harbors at Cape Mount, Cape :?tMesurado, Cape Palmas, and Bassa ^Jove. There are many rivers, of which the principal is the St. Paul, which enters the ocean at Cape Mesu rado. Jr, is about half a mile wide, and at low tide has 7 feet of water on the bar at its mouth. It is navi gable only about 18 miles from the hea. The other largest rivers are the St. John, which empties at Bassa j COVP ; the Junk river, which runs between the St. Paul and the St. John ; Cape Mount river, which flows into the sea at Cape Mount ; and the Grand Sesters, E. of the St. John, which has 14 feet of water over the bar at its mouth. The land on the coast ia generally low and sandy, ex cept near the capes, which are ele vated, and in the S. E., where the shore is bold and rocky. From the coast the land gradually rises, until at the distance of 30 miles inland it swells into forest-covered hills, an 1 in the remoter interior into mountain ridges divided by fertile valleys. The soil is genera.'iy good, though there .is some poor land. It is of a yellow ish color, and tinges the rivers which flow through it. There is little swamp land, the country being almost uni versally broken and rochy or grav elly. The climate is that common to . regions near the equator. There are two seasons, the wet and the dry. The former begins with June and ends with October. Rain falls during the greater part of this season, though not without intervals of clear skies and successive days of fine weather, especially in July and August. In the dry season rain is rare, though there are occasional showers. The average heat of the year in Monrovia is 80? F., that of the rainy season being 76? and of the dry 84?. The mercury seldom rises above 90? in the shade, and never falls below 60?; the daily variation seldom exceeds 1 10?. June is the coldest month, and ? January the hottest. During the hot test months, January, February, and ( March, the heat is mitigated by the ' constant winds, the land breeze blow ing from midnight until near midday, ' and the sea breeze from midday until 1 near midnight. The climate both on ' the coast and in the interior is deadly to the white man, and though less ' fatal is still formidable to the black ' man born and reared in temperate j regions. Strangers soon after their 1 arrival are attacked with a fever call ed acclimating, which seems to be j caused not by the heat, but by mias- i mata cf the origin and character of \ which little is known. This sickness c indicates its approach by headache, 1 pains in the back, loss of appetite, I and more or less gastric derangement, s and rapidly develops into bilious r,e- a mittent fever. This sometimes yields t to mild medical treatment, and the a patient is then prepared to endure g ordinary exposure to the climate, r Generally, however, the disease as- t sumes the tertiary or other form of f intermittent fever, accompanied by c bilious vomiting, a dull expression of t the eye, and in the febrile" paroxysms \ intense headache and delirium. This a is the African fever, and is frequent ^ ly fatal. To the white man there is g no acclimation in Liberia; the first t attack of the fever does not secure f him from subsequent attacks. To the ? natives the climate is not unfavora- t ble ; they are robust and have few r diseases, and many of them live to a i great age. g Iron ore abounds in Liberia, and it t is said that copper and other metals f exist in the interior of the country, a The vegetables are almost endless in 1 their variety. The most important s of the native trees are rosewood, teak, 1 mahogany, hickory, poplar, brimstone a wood (sa called from its yellow color), c sassa wood, and many others valuable f in Bhip building and cabinet work, i Camwood and other dyewoods, ebony, \ the acacia which yields gum Arabic, i and the copal tree are fomrd. There i are several varieties of palm, all.^? highly useful, especially thc nut-bear- \ iog palm from which palmipil is made/ i Medicinal plants abound; among them t are the copaiba tree, the croton iigli- ( um, which yields ? the croton oil, the a castor oil plant, and the ricinus major, s whose seeds produce a highly purga tive oil, and whose wood is much used J for hedges and fences. Several va- a rieties of maize and rice of excellent a quality are cultivated, and on the o highlands of the interior good crops o of wheat, harley, and oats Lave been n raised. Cotton flourishes, and sugar 1; cane and excellent coffee are. easily c produced. The esculent and farina- li ceoti3 root? chiefly cultivated are the si tweet potato, tho cassava, tho yam, tl the tenia, which in flavor ' resembl the potato, and the arrow rocf. Ca bages, beans, peas, tomatoes, beel cucumbers, and. al most all the cor mon garden vegetables known America, thrive when planted in tl proper season. The fruits are m ruerous and fine. Among them a the mango, lemon, lime, orange, gu va, tamarind, pomegranate, cocoanc plantain, banana, rose apple, Af rice cherry, pineapple, avocado pear, ar the African peach. Wild animals a: becoming scarce in Liberia, and tl elephant, hippopotamus, leopard, ero odiie. boa constrictor, and deer, fo merly abundant, are now rarely m with. Monkeys, guanas, chameleon lizards, and ants in great variet abound in the forests. The drivi ants, which travel from place toplai in countless multitudes, are welcome by the people, for when they enter house they soon clear it of every otl er species of insect and* vermin. The population of Liberia is con posed of American negroes, emigran from the United States- and their d scendants, who are the ruling clas and of uncivilized native tribes. Tl American Africans number about IC OOO. ' The Rev. T. J. Bowen of Soul Carolina, a missionary sent to wes ern Africa in 1849 by the foreig mission board of the southern Ba] tist convention, thus describes the condition : " The houses in Monrovi are generally two stories high, tl lower one designed for servants, stol rooms, &c, and the upper one, wit bedrooms, parlors, and piazzas, fe the family, built o? wood. The fu: niture is similar to that used by th middle classes in America. I W? pleased to see a good many* valuab! books and periodicals on the shelvf and tables. Most of the people i short appear to live as comfortabl as people of means commonly do ? home. I have heard them accused < being too fond of dress and show but if they were more so than oths people who live in towns, I was nc able to perceive it.Liberia i full of well attended churches an schools. .She has a good governmen well administered under officers eleel ed by the people from among then selves. She is steadily" increasing i prosperity and in everything tha pertains to civilization." A more rc cent observer, the Rev. Charles W Thomas of Georgia, chaplain to th U. S. Africa?; squadron in 1855-"1 says: " In looking into the industria! social, moral; and intellectual charac ter of the Liberians, justice to ou? selves and to them demands that w should give due weight to the follow ing considerations: 1, the recentnes of the establishment; 2, the want o capital in those who formed the gov eminent, and those who, by immigra tion, continue to increase its popula tion ; 3, most of the emigrants wer from the slave States, and had neve learned tu plan and provide for thei own maintenance; those from thu States called free were equally de pendent; and the difficult lesson o self-dependence had to be learnec under the disadvantages arising fron an unfavorable climate, new modes o labor, new elements of subsistence new states of society, and entirety new associations. The sum ol these considerations is, that in any ol the departments of civilized society we are not to look for much in Libe ria; yet as a people they are not with out excellences which reflect credit on the civilization of their adoption, their virtue and intelligence. As yet the Liberians have done but little in the way of agriculture, and until they become a producing people they cannot be wealthy, nor in any high sense independent. They do nothing in the way of manufactures, if we except the little sugar that is pro duced on the farms of the St. Paul's river; their main business is t-affic, and though this is carried on in a email-sale way, it furnishes employ ment to the capital of the country and to many of the people. Thepet ty merchants buy palm oil, rice, cam wood, skins, and a few other unim portant articles, in small quantiles, from the natives ; for which they give tobacco, powder, cheap cutlery, and cotton cloths. The more wealthy merchants buy from these, and sell again to the English and American merchant vessels, or ship directly to the States. There are several men af considerable wealth in Monrovia. They keep large, well assorted stocks af di y goods, and find ready purchas srs among their own people. Society in Liberia is as good as can be reasonably expected; indeed, we found a degree of refinement and ?ste for which we were not prepared. The people desire to live in comforta jle and pretty houses, the ladies and jeaux dress in the fashion, and an aristocracy of means and education s already set up." The native population under the urisdiction of the republic is esti nated at 250,000, and comprises a .ariety of tribes, of whom the prin :ipal are the Kroos, the Galahs, the Veys, and the Deys. The Kroos aro >lack and woolly-headed, and are a tout brawny race, very industrious, md peculiarly fond of working on >oard ships. They are good seamen, md generally speak English. The ?reatest ambition of a Krooman is to narry many wives ; this is said to be he chief reason why they wander rom home, and labor on ships. When ?ne of them has earned money enough o buy a wife, he returns to his native illage, marries, and remains a while ,t home. When he desires another rife, he goes to sea again. As he ;rows old he retires altogether from he ocean, and lives in ease and ?lenty supported by the labor of his rives, who cheerfully work to main ain him in comfort. The Kroos are Qostly idolaters, though they believe a one supreme God. They are be ?inning to embrace civilization, and o clothe themselves in the American ashion. The Golahs inhabit both ides of the St. Paul's river back of Monrovia. They are degraded and uperstitious, and are one of the owest tribes in Africa. The Veys re considered superior to other tribes ?n th.9 coast in morals and intelli ;ence. They are the.only people in Africa who have invented an alpha >et for their language. Some of tb em ire Mohammedans. The Deys live ibout the mouth of St. Paul's river, md are few in number. They are grossly superstitious, and are savages D manners and intelligence. A lew housand of the natives have become christianized and civilized, and been admitted to the privileges of citizen hip. Agriculture has made but little irogress in Liberia. Horses, mules, nd asses cannot endure the climate, nd soon wear out and die ; and the zen are said to be too smallto be f ranch service in field labor. The atiye process of farming is extreme j simple. In the dry season the men lear the boshes from a new piece ol ind with a heavy knife, and in the . pring, when the rains begin to fall, be women BOW rice, wWon retiree slight cultivation, because newly cleared land produces but little grass. A crop of cassava is planted fdr the second year, by the end of which the grass takes full possession of the farm, and it is abandoned for new ground. In 3 or 4,years the bushes grow again and destroy the grass, and then the whole process is repeat ed. The American emigrants follow to a great extent the native "LOM* of cultivation. They have added large ly to the list of agricultural products, and among other plants have intro duced the sugar cane, which is well adapted to the soil a: d climate. There aro several sugar mills in the country, and in 1856 one farmer planted 100 acres in cane. In May, I860, a car go of sugar was sent to New York. Sugar making is the only manufacture yet prosecuted. The commerce of the republic is confined to a trade with the nativeb for palm oil, rice, camwood, skins, and a few other articles, which are sold to English and American vessels, or shipped to the TJuited States. The quantity ofpalm oil exported in 1859 is estimated to have been worth up ward of $500,000. There are several schools in Liberia supported by the government, and there is an excellent academy in Mon rovia maintained by voluntary con tributions. A college has lately been o itablished, of which the president is Joseph J. Roberts, au ex-president of the republic. Two newspapers are published weekly in Monrovia, one of which has existed upward of 20 years. The principal sects in the republic are the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyte rian, and Episcopal. The Methodists have 25 preachers and over 1,3'JO church members, many cf whom are natives. The Baptists have 70 mis sionaries and teachers, and about 1,000 members. The Episcopal church has a bishop, 4 white missionaries and 8 colored, 3 of whom are natives ; 30 teachers, 12 of whom are natives ; and 250 communicants, more than half of whom are natives. The Pres byterian church has 2 white missiona ries and 4 colored^ 12 teachers, and communicants. The constitution of the republic of Liberia provides for the maintenance of the following fundamental princi ples : All men are born equally free in the right of enjoying and defend ing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. AU power of government is inherent in the people. Slavery shall not exist in the republic, or be countenanced by any of its citizens. All elections shall be by ballot, and every male citizen possessing real estate shall have the right of suffrage. None but persons of color shall be admitted to citizenship. The law ex cluding white persons from the right of citizenship is intended to be of but temporary duration. The legislative body is styled " the legislature of ] Liberia," and is composed of two tranches, a senate and a house of j representatives. Each county is en titled to two senators, who are elect ed for a term of 4 years. Represen tatives are elected biennially, every county being entitled to one repre sentative and an additional one for every 10,000 inhabitants. The presi dent is elected by the people for a terra of two years. With the consent of the sernte he appoints the secreta ries of war, the navy, treasury, and state, the postmaster-general, the judges, and many other officers civil and military. The judicial power is vested in a supreme court and several subordinate courts. An Old and Legitimate Depart ment iii a New Dress! Sparkling with Beauty! Art in Its Jjoveliness !
