afternoon, and bound over for trial to the
Superior Court. Failing to obtain bonds he
went to Bridgeport. . '
John Scott (col’d,) in the employ of H. R.
Treadwell as farmer during the past year
on what is known as the Scribner farm,and

theft. It was alleged that he had stolen a
wagon from Dr. Royal Youngs, of .Wilton,
and that he had sold pigs, hay, turkeys, po-
tatoes and onions belonging to Mr. Tread-
well and appropriated the proceeds to his
. own use. The latter he acknowledged,but
he claimed one George Vandeuver,(col'd)
stole the wagon. When brought before
Justice Finch, Friday morning, he could
not satisfactorily explain, and he also went
to Bridgeport.

- Central African Pig iel.
Bayard Taylor writes to Th ribunc the
following account of the discovery of a race
of pigmies in Central Africa.
The khedive spoke of a race of pigmies
which had been discovered in the very
heart of Central Africa, beyond the land of
the Nyam Nyams, and advised us to look
at two natives of the tribe which had recent-
ly reached Cairo. On leaving the Palace of
Abdeen, therefore, we drove immediately
to the Palace of the Nile, near Bouluk,
where they are now kept. On making in-
quiry, the soldiers in the inner court im-
mediately pointed out two small boys (ap-
parentiy), Wearing the fez,‘ and dressed in
jackets and trowser‘s of white wool.
should have taken them for children of
some Ethiopian tribe at the first glance,
and was not satisfied, until after a ‘close
inspection, that one of them was a full
grown man. ‘
Dr. Schweinfurth saw some natives of
the tribe among the Nyam-Nyams, but did
not reach their country, which lies beyond
that of the latter, and therefore south of the
Equator—probabl from 300 to 500 miles
west of the centra part of Albert Nyanza.
But after Schweiufurth’s return the veteran
Italian traveler Miani, whose name, carved
upon a tree near Fatiko, will be remember-
ed by all readers of Speke’s and Baker’s
narratives, started on a new journey of ex-
ploration from which he was destined never
to return. On the 6th of November last
some boats reached Khartoum with the
journals and collections of Miani, who died
in a country called Monbootoo. These
were taken by the governor of Khartoum,
and three pigmies, who were supposedto be
slaves, were temporarily imprisoned.
When the inteili ence reached Cairo, the
Khedive ordered iani’s papers and collec-
tions to be given to the Italian consul and
the pigmies to be sent to him. One ofthem,
a woman, died on the .way; the other two
reached here a few weeks ago- They are
the first of their race which has ever been
seen outside of Central Africa; The Khe-
dive, who gave mc these particulars, seemed
much interested in the people, and probably
intends to use them, if they survive, as a
medium of future intercourse with their
tribe.
The soldiers brought the pigmies forward
for our inspection. They came, half willing-
ly, half with an air of defiance, or of protest
against the superior strength which sur-
rounded them. A tall Dinka, from the
White Nile, blacker than charcoal, who ac-
companied them, was one of Miani’s men
He spoke a- little Arabic, and I was thus
able to get a little additional information
through him. He assured 'me that the
pigmies were called Naam; that their
country was a journey of a year and a half-
from Khartoum (probably the time occu-
pied by a trading expedition in going thither
and returning), and that the place from
which they came had the name of Takkati-
kat. The taller of the two pigmies, Tubbul
by name, was twenty years old ; the young-
er Carai, only ten or twelve.
The little fellows looked at me with
ammed and measured them. Tubbul was 4

woolly hair, cut short in front,but covering
the crown with a circular cap of crisp little
rolls. Tubbui’s age showed itself, on nearer
examination, in his hands. feet and joints,
as well as his face. He had no beard, butwas
evidently of virile years. I lifted him from
the ground and should estimate'his weight
at about 85 pounds. The soldiers stated
that neither of the two had learned more than
a few words ofArabic.but that they talked
a great deal to each other in their own lan~
age. However, when ordered to speak,
nbbul turned and walked away. A sol-
dier seized and drew him back, whereupon
he stood still and sullen in his former lace.

Whenl was on the White Nile, in 1852.
the Nyam-Nyams were spoken of by the
people as a frightful race of cannibals, with:
tails. No one has ever seen them; the very
name was a terror to the natives of Soudan
and an obstacle to the traveler. Now their
country has been reached and partly ex-
plored, and specimens of the race have
ventured even as far as Khar'toum. The
pigmies prove to be far more interesting
than they, from an ethnological pornt of
view, and we shall certainly soon learn
more of them. I am not aware that any
account of the race has yet been published
in Europe or America. ,
