But now he walks the streets, And he looks at all he meets So forlorn ; And he shakes his feeble head, And it sectus as if he said, "They are gone."

DU CHA ELLO, THE AFRICAN EXPLORER. M. Du Chaillu, the celebrated African trav? eller and hunter, in a lecture delivered in New York last week, gave an account of his adven? tures among the Fans, 8 cannibal tribe of Africa, discovered by biro during his explora? tions of that continent. Du Chaillu is a small sized, dark complexioned, gentlemanly man, and spoke with a French accent, and not very fluently, bat in a simple, direct and pleasing manner. After introductory remarks, explain? ing how he came to visit the country of the Fans, he said : "I never before saw such wild men. They were all armed to tho teeth with spears, poi? soned arrows and knives. Their bodies were tattooed all over, their teeth wore dyed black, and they looked moro like ghouls than mern On the ground were the skulls of dead men, and bones were scattered all through the streets. The women were the ugliest I ever saw, and were much smaller than the mon. The King did not want to see me, being afraid that he should dio if he saw a spirit. The men did not seem afraid, but the worn en did. I ?aw one of the latter run into one of the huts with the leg of a man just cut off. This made me feel very uncomfortable, and my only consola? tion was that I wp s very thin and not worth much for eating. At length tne King came to me, surrounded by his warriors. He was dressed with thc skins of wild beasts, and held a spear in bis hands. He looked at me with wonder, and I did the 6ame with him. He said he was not afraid of me when surrounded by his warriors. I put a bold face on it, and said spirits were never afraid also. They gave me a nut to sleep in, but I did not sleep that 1 night-the woman with the leg depressed my spirits. In the morning wheu I arose and went out at the back door, I met with a rrand reception. Cannibals from every part of the country had come to see me. They got accus? tomed to me in time, and I to them, and we became the best friends. After a few days the Queen came to see me. She was a lovely crea? ture-teeth sharpened to a point, body tattooed allover. Cooked plantains were brought to to eat. J told them j, pover at? cooked food; for I was afraid that men's flesh had been cooked in the same pot before. The can? nibalism of the people is of the worst kind. They eat the bodies, not of their enemies only, but also of their own people. A man, however, does not eat the body of one of his own family, but families exchange their dead with each other. In one case that I knew ot a corpse five days dead, was sold for food. They like their game high. They all agree that a woman is tenderer than a man-not the heart merely, but the whole body. Boys also, are tender, but old men are very rough. I myself could see no difference in the appearance of the flesh of the men and that of the gorilla, ex? cept that it w.va a little finer in texture. "But in spite of their cannibalism, they are in many respects the finest tribe in that coun? try. Their houses are built low, not moro than five feet in height, on acount of the tornados. The walls are made of the bark of trees; they have a little door in front and a back door, but no windows. Polygamy is common among them, and the more wives a man has the hap? pier he seems to be. Slavery is known, but is not much practiced, because men are scarce; and they prefer to eat them rather than make slaves of them. They work hon in the mest beautiful manner, make knives, spears, and very sharp axes. They are exceedingly given to fighting, hence their fondness of working in iron, and theil* expertness at it. Nothing from the coast reaches them, except a few beads and pieces of copper. They cover the han? dles of their knives with the skin tauen from the bodies of men. On parting, the King made me a present of one of these; it had be? longed to hil lather, and was covered with human skin. "One day as I was lying in a forest, I got waked up by an army of bashiquas-a strange kind of ant. ' I was ?o much bitten by them that I was half dead. An antelope had been killed the day before by King Bongo, which I had intended to eat. But it was now covered with, oh millions of - nts ! They are the most wonderful insects in the forest. They are the nlaguo and dread of every living thing. When they attack a village, the people have to light fires, pour hotwater around, and strew burning ashes around, to get rid of these little beasts. They are really wonderful-always in single line, and somutimes the line is miles upon miles in length. The line is generally two inches in breadth, and there are officers throughout the entire length keeping watch, so that none of these ants get ont of line. I watched aline passing one particular spot, and it was twelve hours before the last of those ants had passed. And as they go through the forest, at a certain signal they spread them? selves out and attack everything that comes out in their way. They will even go to the tops of trees; and the insects and everything else fly away before tbem. Elephants, ante? lopes, gazelles, snakes, scorpions, all ruc away as fast as they can. In fact, many a time have I been warned of the coming of ines-bashi? quas by the insects and other creatures flying away in an opposite direction. I got ready for them by having the fire lighted. They are the most voracious little creatures vou can imagine. It they found a dead elephant on their line Of nlM'Ch they would attack it, and in a very short time nothing would be left but the bones. Sometimes the chiefs will have a man tied up to a tree, an-. in an hour or two n-thing would be left of h.m but the skeleton. They certainly are the most voracious crea? tures I ever saw. One singular circumstance connected with them is that they are afraid of tho sun. If they come to a part of the forest where the sun is shining, they dig a tunnel under tho spot and pass it by that means, and so continue their march through the forest, in single file, as before." TTL?. DANQEES OF KEEOSENE.-There is scarce? ly a day thal we do not find among our ex? changes one or more accounts of explosions of kerosene lamps, resulting in the maiming or death of one or more persons and the destruc? tion of more or lees property by tire. Many of these accidents occur where there is no care? lessness, in consequence of the adulteration of the oil. When petroleum is properly refined, there is but little danger if proper care be used; but the difficulty is in ascertaining what is free from the more volatile and death dealing sub? stances. These are frequently mixed with the refined oil after leaving the refinery, in order to enhance the profits of dealsrs, and the escape of combustible vapors frequently results in explosions even where the utmost care is used. Instances are recorded where this has happen&i when the oil has not been nearer than Beven feet from a fiie. The only safety to the great msjoriy of those who use this oil ie in discardirig it altogether; for there can be no rebanee upon ita purity where the tempta? tion to adulterate it are so great either before i'j after it reaches the hands of the retail gmttrrriri. ^BiTnk^BlU, Stock and Bond Markst. CHABLHSTON, March 20,1608. During the past weak the stock and bond market has been dull and inactive, and prices have gene? rally declined. This decline ha9 been particularly noticeable in South Carolina Railroads, which have been depressed by the coming sale of the assets of the Charleston Savings Institution. The quotations of to-day, as compared with those of the 13th instant, are as follows: South Carolina Railroad Stock, six dollars lower; six per cent. boad?( two dollars higher; and seven per cent bonds, three dollars higher. Charleston City Stock, three dollars lower; State Bonds (old), one dollar higher, and new two dollars higher. In bank shares little has been done, and Bank of Camden has fallen off seven dol? lars. State bills have been in active demand and have been bought by brokers at 93. City bills are 98 to par. and nine-tenths of the money now paid into the City Treasury is m greenbacks.

Name changed Dy a legislative enactment to the Eclectic .tedkal College, of Philadelphia, in 1860. I In 1863 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical Col? lege, established in 1342, and the Piulad 2phia Medi? cal College, which had previously been merged into the Pennsylvania Medical <'ollego. In 1864 it pur? chased the Penn Medical Univ irsity. Tho Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned and ob? tained a special Act of the Lep?nature, con?obdat!ng these institutions and cha. ging then- names to that 1 of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Sur? gery, March 16, 1865. AU these various Acts are pub? lished in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of | the building and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars. It will be observed that the Uni? versity, as now organized, is the legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that it bas absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, confined to no dogma, nor attached to any medical cliques, but embraces in ita te^hjng everything of value to the profession. Sessions_It has two full sessions each year, com? mencing on the 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January, as its first session, and from the 1st ot January to the 1st ol April, as its second; the two constituting one full course of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing the 1st April sad continuing until August, for the preparatory branches, such os Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Bota? ny, Zoology. Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, etc. Tickets.- Tickets to the full course of lectures $120 or $60 for each session. For the summer or pre? paratory course $25. Graudating fee $30. To aid young men ot moderate means, the University has issued five hundred scholarships, which are sold to first-course students tor $75. and to second-course students and clergymen for $50, each constituting the holder s life member, with the perpetual privi? leges of the lectures, and all the teachings of the school. The only additional fees are a > early dis? secting and matriculating ticket each of which is $5. The Advantage* ofScholarships.-The student hold? ing a scholarship can enter the College at any time during the year, attend os long as he chooses, and re-entor the institution as frequently as deJred. It requires no previous reacting or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fees are saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecute other business a part of the time. Tho candidate tor graduation can present himself at any time, and receive his degree as soon as quali? fied. In case a student should holl a scholarship and not be oblo to attend lectures, it can ba trauslorrcd to another, thus preventing any loss. Parents, guardians or friends of students wishing to purchase scholarship tor them a year or more bet?re their attendance st tho University, can secure them by advancing one-half the price and paying the balance when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow great benefit upon poor young men by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to obtain an honorable pro? fession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physi? cians and surgeons. The University has associated with it s large hospital clinic, wheie every form of j medical ana surgical disease is operated on and treated in the presence of the class. COLLEGE BUILDING.-The Collego building, located in Ninth-street, south of Walnut, ls the finest in the city. Its front is collegiate gothic, and ls adorned with em bat'.lem ep ts and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold, and beautiful appearance. The facade ls of brown stone, ornamented by two towers, rising to the elevation ol eighty leet, and crowned with an'embattled parapet The building contains be? tween fifty and sixty rooms, all supplied with water, gos, and every other convenience that modern im? provement can contribute to facilitate medical in? struction. Only Ove hundred scholarships wdl be issued, and as two hundred and fifty are now sold those who wish to secure one should do so at once. Money can be remitted by express, or a draft or check sent on any National Bank in the United States, when the scholarship will bo returned by mall, signed by the President of the Board of Trus? tees, JOSEPH S. FISHER, Esq., and the Dean ot the Faculty, W. PAINE, M. D. All orders for scholar? ships or other business of the University, should be addressed to Professor W. PAINE, M. D., Philadel? phia, Pa.
