Not until gpreiral months after the occurrence of an interesting event. in the Egyptian tioudan baa an account of it been reclined in London. It was an event that h is rn ailed otter eyeats at tli>' kji'l whirii took place in Lm- ruoniori.il tuniM and representations of which mijr ye.t be seen by those who inspect the ruins; of the temples of ancient Egypt. \Vhe-n Lord Crcneir made bin latest riant to Kb u tenon, as the represent- ative of Britiah authority in Egypt, ho held rourt, durbar, at tb huge red pa Lac there, whU-h was. attend- ed by many of the Mohammedan magnate*, who appeared in great pump. There wan a ceremcoy of an unusually unprenaire. character when a body of warlike, and stately sheiks, mouatcd upon their caur! arrived at tbe palace. They hud ridden lor 000 miles from their country f.ir up the White Nile, and their journey had lasted three inuntufl. There weru in the embassy sevwi of the greatest sheijcs and one woman 01 the highest rnnk, all beli>n.iinjr to tbe ancient of Dinkaa. whom ethnologists re- gard as the aboriginal inhabitants of that part of Africa. The n.nka embassy of sheiks, which had obtained permi.vtion to risit Khartoum, receired A CERKMONIOI'S WELCOME f.roin Lord Cromer when they arrived at thi |>.i . i-r, .ifipr i h< y had announc- ed that it was their purpose to |>ay li. .tinge to him. An tb reprewnta- tiv.- of tlritiuh Majesty be offered them welcome in the Arab language, assuring them that ihey would be protected, that their weifare would Mir-ely b promoted under the An#lo- iV>l"iin rule, that they would nev- er again have occasion to frar the slave. dealer or slave driver. and that the Uritiah troops, \\ho had been il-mp up and set in array for the urcaion would |;uaTd their country ar< a part of great K#ypt. The IXok.i aheilu were greatly pleased with their '!c'.me. They rendered obeukiut-e to the poient white, lard, uul tti>-y i-lianti'd i world- old bynxn in hi* p r aiM', ul *r which they performed the rniwi curious p.-irt of the. i eremopy. On<- stately abeik iidv.i;ice>l toward Lord Cromer, bear- ing aloft the. Dinka crown of honor, which cofiBistcd of a black conical. stuped, bximlMS hat, ornamented with plumes of Hack ostrsch feathers. In a majentic manner he placed the crown oo hia Lordahip's head * n ini:k of tiomuge. on the part of the Iknk.i tribe, and aa represent ing the traditional tribal rymbul of ;ovt-r- eigntyv Lard Cromer was so nvii-fc T'leaaed tvith the i erctnuny lb.it he brought out prcnt3 of various kind.". To tbe Itre.it aheaka he gav a fine new r.ii- >ii<:it of the brlfrhte.st Jiuv<. and to tbe feminine grandee in their eom- ptny h<- |r;iTe aundiry gifts, nmong whu-h weo-e a costly parasol and a decorated mirror. In their joy th*y cried out and AGAIN UENDKRED IloM\i;i; to the. "shado^v" of B-itLsh royjlty. Next day tliey began to p-op.ii-- fer the. long jwurney up the White Nilr. and kick to lhe.ir c>wn country. It appewrs that neither the sheiks nor th". other members uf the Dinka clan axe. either uf the Arab raw or the Mohammedan religion. They are an autochthonous people, and it is probable, that the-y are drMrnded from ancestors who live>l in their country limg before Moses |<.J t h<> enslared Hebrvw.t out uf "v>pt. They worship one God and posses.* Mac-red riteA that antedate any history. Their language, religion, and customs are peculiarly their own. The. uulereating fact has bcn brought to not ce. that such care- muoioa aa occurred during Lord Ci o- nif ( r's last durbar of Khartoum \ven- but repetitions of ceremonies that had been witni's-vd in ancient Egypt un- <!'- the ruU of the PharaoW The follonving quotation from a letter d"- scTibiii^ the scene hert- spoken of may be taken a3 direct proof of the fact : " The scenes depicted on tho Tem- ple of Amenophi* III.
