Slavery Debate and Trade Caravan in Central Africa
Becker reports on Tippa Tip as a powerful slave trader allied with local chiefs, detailing caravan sizes, ivory and slave shipments, and his arguments justifying slavery. Arabs in lake regions still hunt slaves, while Tippa Tib pursues the Congo route to the coast with whites’ aid, claiming to stop slave raids in Stanley district. The piece contrasts Tippa Tib’s defences with Becker’s accounts and notes shifting regional power dynamics.

Tragic Prince and Child Companions Memoir Tale
In a reminiscence Ma ssa nne Curette recalls a tender yet stormy episode with Louis Conneau and the young prince at the Tuileries. A dinner, a strawberry cream surprise, a quarrel, and tears reveal a fragile bond. The same narrative leads to news of the prince’s death and the empress's grief as Duc de Bassano delivers the message. The account contrasts intimate childhood moments with royal tragedy in vivid detail.
