A Ostrich Amaiea Africans.
News han just reached Liverpool ?t
the arrival at Sierra Leone, west Africa,
of a remarkable specimen of the ostri.;h
tribe, which the people of that colony
have seen for the first time. Theostrich.
which is ten feet high, has come f roa
central Africa, and walked a distance of
at least (500 miles to the British colony
The bird was sent by the great Mohan.
rneilan chief, Aliinainy Samadou, to Mr.
Alfred L. Jones, of Liverpool, who ha
the coaling establishment at Sierra
Leone. It came down with a caravan ol
the Aliniamy's headmen and traders,
who arrived in the British settlement
with their produce, ivory, gold, etc.
It is a most unusual circumstance for
an ostrich to lie found in central Africa,
and when it readied Sierra Leone thf
whole population turned out to see it
The traffic of the streets waa stopped,
and the governor had to send a special
company of native police to escort it to
the Sierra Leone Coaling company's
premises. As the Alimamy Samadou is
a great Mohammedan, it i thought that
the bird may be regarded in some re
ligious connection.
Knowing tlm great reverence the Ali
mamy has fur Queen Victoria and th
English people, it is the intention of
Mr. Jones to offer the bird to her maj
esty as a present from the great Mahom
inedati chief. The ostrich, it is said
will be sent over by the nest Africai
steamer to Li";rpool. Iondou SUuc.
