Domestic Service On The Kongo

"Cruelty In the Kongo Free State" is the title of a paper made up froin the journals of the late E. J. Glave in The Century. Mr. Glave says: Toyo, the boy I engaged of Sims, is more different kinds of au ass than any one I have met for several moons. The other day, after cooking something in the frying pan, he placed the sooty side on the drum of my banjo. I do not understand his language very well, but from gesture and disgusted look it ought to have been clear to him that I objected to that sort of untidiness. When I threw off the frying pan, he took it up carefully, wiped the sooty part with a cloth I had given him to clean plates with, and then put it back on the banjo. He has made tea in my coffeepot without removing the coffee grounds. He walks into my room without taking off his hat or removing his pipe. He is ugly, slow and has no more intelligence than a rock. I f ound him wearing a hat which ! I had given him to carry, and wiping his sweaty face on my towel. What service he could have rendered Sims' mission I do not know.
