LADY FLORENCE BAKSB ,
A Talk With a Famous and
Fearless Traveler ,
The Wife Who Accompanied Kr
Husband Through DeiorU
nnd. Dangers ,
* D Francisco Kxixmlncr.
"I nm sorry that Sir Samuel Baker
annot sco you to-dny , " was the re-
panso of a lady to an Examiner re-
> orter who was yesterday directed to
ho rooms in the I'alacp Hotel occu-
lied by that distinguished traveler
ml his wife , the no less fatuous Lndy
inker.
"Lady Baker , I presume ? "
"Yes ; won't you bo seated ? Sir
Samuel is confined to his room from
> n attack of bronchitis contracted
in bourd the City of Peking. Wo In-
ndvcrtcntly loft the port-hole of our
tatcroom open and ho has been quito
11 over since. "
"Then , I suppose , you have not had
nuch of an opportunity to look around
ho city ? "
"Nono nt all. Of course ho can't
; o out , and I do not care to , ithout
lim. "
"Tho restraint must bo irksome to
ono so used to moving about. "
"Oh , decidedly so. Hero wo have
) eon detained in our rooms fora week.
To bo euro , every attention has been
cindly offered us , for which wo nro
very grateful. Wo have received a
argo number of invitations" nnd to
confirm this , the sonbo'aovo ' JHstthcn
wandering toward the centre-table saw
n number of formal looking envelopes
iddrcssed "Sir Samuel Baker , " and in
Jio card case the cards of sbnio of our
well known and wealthy citizens. Be
sides these , scattered over the table ,
ivoro n number of the curiosities of
.ravel . , a long dagger , in n quaintly-
carved case , and other queer articles ,
evidently picked up in China or Japan ,
ho Inst places visited by the distin
guished couple.
A MONTH'S VISITATION.
"But , " continued Lady Bnkor , "wo
lave not yet been able to signify our
iccoptanco of them , Wo have to take
t easy , for there's no use contending
against bronchitis , although Sir
Samuel , like all men , can't content
dinsclf to remain as quiet as ha
should. " This was said with a smile ,
which led the reporter to suppose
lint , notwithstanding Sir Samuel's '
rebellious disposition , ho wan not so
very hard to got along with. "
"May I ask how long you will ro-
nain in California , and what places
, -ou intend to visit ? "
"Certainly , We expect to remain
icro until August , and will visit all
: ho principal places of interest. But
: ho duke of Athol , an old friend of
ours at homo , where wo were surpris
ed and pleased to meet hero , tolls us
: lmt there is not very much to see
liero , " this with an interrogative
raisinp of the eyebrows.
The reporter disloyally but truth
fully acknowledged that the Pacific
coast docs not contain nil the interest
ing sights of the world , nor oven a
majority of them , but timidly suggest
ed Yosemite.
"Oh , yes , wo will sco Yoscmito.
The duke of Athol has gone there
now. But wo don't believe that every
thing can bo seen in a flying visit.
From hero wo go to the salt lakes
( Great Salt lake ) . I expect to . bo
greatly interested thoro. "
"You will probably bo disappointed ,
is few visitors over get to know any
thing of the family histories of the
Mormons. "
"Yes , that is very prbbablo. The
duke of Athol was disappointed him
self. Ho said ho wont to their taber
nacle and among their pepplo as much
as possible , but saw nothing of parti-
culiar interest. But it was n grcal
thing to build up such a fertile coun
try , as I am assured it is , whore was
formerly a desert. Then wo will go
to Rock Creek , for Sir Samuel wants
to hunt in the Rocky Mountains and
kill some grizzly bears. Wo have
30H10 Enclish friends there who Imvo
invited us to visit them , but say not
to como before August , on account of
the flies. May bo you know them.
Their name is . "
LADY HAKKH'H KXPEKIENCES.
The reporter confessed that ho did
not know the persons named , and ask
ed where Rock crook is.
"Why , it is in Colorado. Wo will
then go to Now York , nnd start for
liomo in November. "
Lady Baker talked freely and in a
most interesting manner of the various
expeditions upon which she accompa
nied Sir Samuel Baker. That to dis
cover the sources of the Nile , nnd i !
possible moot the Spoke and Grnni
expedition , seemed to her the ono ol
the most varied and startling experience
rionco ,
"Wo do not want over to go upon
another of that kind , " she said. "II
was fitted out by Sir Samuel entirely
at his own expense , and no ono car
conceive from reading his account o :
it ( 'The Albert Nyanzn1) ) of the many
trials wo endured , and you woulc
hardly boliuvo it all , should I tel"
you , The route chosen by Speko and
Grant direct from Zanzibar is mucl
easier , trade being carried on fron
that point with the interior. Wo mol
Capts. Spoke and Grant at Condole ere
ro ( February , 1803) ) , after they had
discovered the lake they named Vie
toria Nyanza , in honor of the queen.
Wo gave thorn supplies , nnd c6ntinue <
on into the interior , although we Imc
great opposition from every ono
guides , interpreters , and especially
the slave-trades. Wo then discoverei
the Albert Nyanza. 'Nynnis' is a nnmo
applied to nil African lakes ,
A JIODIhT IIKIIOINK.
Lady Baker spoke of this great expedition
podition in such a modest , .quiet manner
nor , that ono listening to her who dii
not know that the result of this expedition
podition was the final discovery o
the third great tributary and source o
the Nile , would have supposed i
merely u jaunt through the country
sidp , In iho preface to the work describing
scribing the journey , Sir Samuel Ba
ker says ; "A veil shall be thrown
over many scenes of brutality that I
was forced to witness , but which I
will not force upon the reader ; neith
er will I intrude anything that is not
actually necessary in the description
of scones that unfortunately must bo
pasted through in the journey now
before u . Should anything offend
the sensitive mind , and suggest the
nnfitneea of the situation for a wo-
nan's presence , I must beseech .my
air readers to reflect that the pil-
; rim'a wife followed him , weary and
ootBoro , through all hu difficulties ,
cd , not by choice , but by devotion ,
nd that in time ot misery and tick-
ess her tender care a\ed his life mid
irospered the expedition.1
It seems hardly possible when look-
ng nt Lady "Baker s face to imagine
liat this was said nearly twenty years
go of hor. It is ft face that all who
co it would unite in calling charming ;
or is there any suggestion of care ,
or that travel-worn look that might
> o expected. A clear complexion ,
ight eyes , beautiful teeth and wlnto
orohcnd , rather higher tlmn woman's
rdinarSly is , ' yol iiol too high , from
hich the hair is brushed straight
mck , giving the face a matroiily ,
igntfiod nir ; manners , quiet and , of
ourso , ladylike , yet kindly ; speech.
lint peculiar English accent which
ultivntcd foreigners cam from long
ntcrcourso with the English people ;
ireciso , perfectly articulated and
ilcasing , abounding in the best and
iloarcst Anglo - Saxon words and
ihrases. For Lady Baker is hot of
Jnglish birth. If to speak of n lady's
go were not nn impertinent suggvs *
ion , Lady Baker's might bo guessed
t what it actually is , for iho does Hot
ook over thirty-two. She married
lir Samuel , says n blojjiaphio notice
f the latter , in 1800 and is his second
vifc.

As for her dresn , the society ropor-
or of this paper would simply say
hat she was dressed in that quiet ,
unobtrusive manner which so becomes
adips-ncithcr rich , nor yet lacking
n richness , nor encumbered with or-
lamentation. The reporter asked
jndy Baker what she thought about
ho slave trade in Africa , and whether
n her opinion Africa could over be
undo inhabitable in any part by
Europeans , and if the commercial in-
crests of the country would ever bo
0 great as to warrant largo settle-
nentf of Europeans.
"About the slave trade , " she said ,
1 think it will bo broken up. You
enow Sir Samuel undertook it ( in
omninnd ol the khcdh'c's forces in
.809) ) and wo thought ho had sue-
iooded. Col. Gordon tried after him
> ut I suppose it is n bad now as over.
. ' do not believe tin efforts of the khedive -
dive are more than half-hearted. "
"Probably ho gnts a percentage of
ho gains. "
"No , oh no , I do not think that.
Clio trouble lies with the people thorn-
elves. They are n lazy , shiftless set ,
, nd worth nothing except as warriors.
They plant just enough corn and
what else they need to carry them
hrough a single year , and if thnro is
i drought they dib of staivation , "
"You mean the people south of
Egypt ? "
ALONO THE EQUATOU.
"Oh , yes , south of Abyssinia. You
snow wo were almost as far down as
: ho line of the equator. The country
s very unhealthy , and I doubt whoth-
Europeans will ever inhabit it in laago
lumbers , nt least uot the parts wo
visited. "
Changing the conversation , the re
porter asked them about their numer
ous other voyages. i
"Really , " was the renly , "wo have
; ot so used to going JJhnt it seems
strange for usto reinam'at homo. Af
ter the expedition against'tho slave-
traders , wo returned homo to resl
awhile. The first message wo- re
ceived was from your American Geographical
graphical society , ' 'inviting us tovisil
America , and offering to pay all pur
expenses. It was n very kind offqr ,
ind ono wo wished to accept , as wo
Imvo always had a curiosity to see
America ; but then again , wo wanted
to rest. Besides , Sir < Samuel 'ishoi
to sco something of his children.
When the English took possession ol

The Unfortunate Poiition of
Bridegroom.
They hnd a terrible time nt n wcdt
ing up at Potaluma the other day , am
which only goea to show how th
smallest drawback will sometimes tak
the stiffness out of the awullcst occa
sion ,
It seems that the ceremony was
very grand affair , indeed. Thor
were eight bridesmnids.andthochurc
was crowded from pit to dome , as th
dramatic critics would nay. Bu
when they got to the proper place ii
the ceremony , and the groom boga
fooling around for the ring , he discov
ered that it'wasn't ' on hand. Alto
the minister had scowled at the .mis
erable wretch for awhile , . the Utte
detected the magic circlet had slipptx
through a hole in his pocket an <
worked into hia boot. Ho common
atcd the terrible fact in n whisper to
10 bride , who turned deadly pale ,
nd was only kept from fainting by
10 reflection thnt they would incvita-
> ly cut-lho rings of her satin corsage
n case she did.
"Why dont'tyou produce the ring ? "
hisporcd the bride's big brother ,
oarsoly , and feeling for his pistol ,
lidcr the impression that the miser-
bio man was about to back out.
"I' can't. It's In my boot , " ex-
lained the groom under his breath ,
lis very hair meanwhile turning red
ith mortification.
"Try and fish it out , somehow
uirry up ! " mumbled the minister be-
lind hia book.
"I'll try , " gasped the victim , who
ns very stout ; and ho put ono foot
n the chancel mil , pulled up his
rousers let ' ? and began making upas-
lodie jabs' for the ring with his Wro
nger. The minister motioned to the
trganist to squeeze out a few notes to
ill in the time , while a rumor rapidly
went through iho congregation to the
licet thnt a telegram had just arrived
roving the groom had four other
ivos living in the cast already.
" 1 I can't reach it , " groaned the
inlf-mnrricd man in agony. "It won't
omo. "
"Sit down and take your boot on" ,
011 fool , " hisai'd the brido's mother ,
hilo the bride herself moaned pitu-
usly and wrung her hands.
There was nothing left , so the suf-
eror sat down on the floor and began
0 wrestle with , his boot , which was
aturnlly now nnd tight ; while a fresh
umor got under way to the effect that
10 groom was beastly tight.
As the boot came finally off , its
rushed wearer endeavored , unsuc-
essfully , to hide n trade-dollar hole
1 the heel of his stocking , noticing
hich , the parson , who was n humor1
us sort of n sky-contractor , said
rimly :
"You scorn to bo getting married
ust in time , my young friend. "
And the ceremony proceeded , with
10 party of the first part standing on
no leg , trying to hide his wcll-vunti-
lied foot under the tnil of his coat ,
