A WASTEFrL slaughter of moose is said to be carried on upon tbe Upper Ottawa River, in Canada. The animals are killed mere'; for their hides and their carcasses are left in the woods. The Japanese do not flourish in Cali fornia, being too commonly confounded with the Chinese, and most of them be ing young men who would not do well even in their own country. Even those who are fairly successful lead a hard life. The Mahometans considered silk un clean, from its being produced by a worm. Hence it was decided that a 1 erson wearing a garment made en tirely of silk could not lawfully offer up the daily prayers enjoined by the Koran. The Oakland, Cal., dupe3 who sold their property for a trifle because they thought tbe world was coming to an end now want somebody to kick them. They would like to kick the prophet who misled them, but he has disap peared. The discussion as to whether a family can live decently and comfortably in a large citj' en $1,000 a year has broken out again. The leit evidence that can be adduced on this question is the fact that thousands of families do. This ought to offset all wise opinions that it isn't possible. Betw ken the Aral and Okhotsk seas tlicie is a sjiot half as large as the Stafe of Michigan, which is frozen ground to the depth of 94 feet. That is, it has never thawed out since the .voi Id was created, and probably never uill, and een if it should nobody would have any use for it. A "white man who was tortured by the Apache Indians says that after the liist awful twinge of pain, when they held his feet to tbe tire, the sensation was not so very unpleasant. They shot powder into him in forty-four different places, but alter the fifth charge the pain was not great enough to force him to veil out. Ovr cause assigned for the healthful-ne-s of Chinese cities is that the people btil all water intended for drinking. They never drink cold water. The national beverage, tea, is always "on lap. eveu in the houses of the poor. Every little hamlet, too, has a Bhop where hot water can be bought for a trifling bum at any hour of the day or night An Augusta citizen took a queer way to collect a bill lately. He went to a man who owed him S3 for board and asked for the loan of hi3 watch to wear to his (the landlord's) wedding. After that event he did not return the article, and the owner went to the police sta tion to make a complaint. An investi gation brought out the board bill and a settlement was effected. Kr.v. J. W. Sfroull, of Pittsburgh, who is now in Egypt, writes of the great Moslem University at Cairo, founded in 1)73, which, with its 10,000 pupils and 170 professors, is said to be the largest in the world. The pupils have no benches or chairs, but study, eat and sleep on blanket or straw mats. The Koran is the only book used for gram mar, law, philosophy r.nd theology. The professors receive no salary, but are fcupported by private instruction, by copv-iug books, and by presents from rich scholars. From this great univer sity gees forth annually a 6mall army of fanatics whose whole influence is entirely and constantly exerted against progress and reform. Once upon a time Rufus Choate was in Washington and spent all the money he had with him, besides exhausting his bank account by checks on it. He and Daniel Webster were alike in re spect to bank accounts, that they knew no other use for one than to proceed to exhaust it. But Choate needed money, and went to Webster to borrow some. "I have got a dollar," said Webster, musingly, and then he added, "But see here, Choate, you say you want $500. Make out your note for that amount, I'll indorse it and Corcoran & Riggs will let you have the money." Choate immediately agreed, when Webster con tinued: "While you are at it you nun as well make the note for a thousand and give me $500, too." And so the note was drawn, and, remaining always unpaid, is retained as a souvenir in tbe banking house of Corcoran &lBiggs at Washington to this day. In many London parishes it is the custom for the poor bonrds to provide able-bodied paupers with brooms and assign them to sweep certain crossings, making them support themselves from what they can get in this way, and thus reducing the workhouse expenses pro portionately. Why not use criminals in some such way, instead of providing them with indoor employment needed by honest men, and for lack of which they are often driven to poverty and despair? Under military guard, con victs could make productive our waste lands, ditch and drain swamps, mend roads, build reservoirs, and by the sweat of their brow earn their bread and butter, thus swelling the resources of the government and paying the pen alty of their wrong-doing in a self-supporting, helpful way which must event ually benefit themselves as well as the people. Recently a man byx the name of Fritz Jabusch walked into the house of his relatives'after an absence of thirty years, lie naa long been mourned as deed. In 1662 Jabusch enlisted in the army and went to the front. His rela tives heard from him regularly until the summer of 1863 when his letters ceased after a battle' in which his regiment had been engaged. His parents supposed him dead. He now states that he was left for dead' on the battle-field, was found bv rebel troops, placed in a hos pital, and-when he recovered was im prisoned at Libby prison. Here he re mained over a year, until exchanged and he found himself on the Atlantic coast without money and hundreds of miles from home. Be shipped on board a merchantman for the East Indies as common seaman and has fol lowed the sea ever einoe. Ha acquired a competence and decided to settle down in his old home. The United States Consul at Mara caibo, Venezuela, has described some singular natural phenomena of an unin habited forest reign, rich in asphalt and petroleum, between the rivers Santa Ana and Zulia and the mountains of the Colombian frontier. One of these, near the Bio de Oro, is a horizontal cave con stantly ejecting thick bitumen in large globules, which explode with consid erable noise and fall into a large deposit at the water's edge. At another spot, some miles from the confluence of the Tara and the Sardinete, is what the few who have seen it call theHInfernito.n It is a sand mound 25 to 30 feet high, with an area of about 8,000 square feet from which innumerable streams of petroleum and hot water are constantly being forced with the noise of the blow-ing-offof several steam-boilers. One stream is said to have yielded four gal lons of excellent petroleum in one min ute. The inflammable gases from this region may give rise to the appearance of constant lightning without thunder which has long been witnessed from the entrance to Lake Maracaibo. Some time ago, Congress corrected one of the abuses of the time by passing an act making it a criminal offence to mail a postal card containing written or printed matter of a "libellous, scurril ous, defamatory or threatening charac ter, or calculated and obviously in tended to reflect injuriously upon the character or conduct of another." The penalty for a violation of the law is a tine not exceeding five thousand dollars, imprisonment for not more than five years or both tine and imprisonment. Under this statute a Western business man has been indicted for mailing a postal card to a customer threatening prosecution if he did not settle an out- standing account. The reason given for the indictment is that the card con tained a threat to sue, which was "both calculated and intended to humiliate J and injure the person addressed in pub lic estimation." Under these circum- s-tacos, business men will nnd it pru dent either to enclose demands for money in sealed envelopes or to be cateful about what thev write on postal cards. They may no longer do a little wrong to do a great right. "Some Village Hampden." There is a cool siainf? near one of the old mossy wharves in Warren, llhodt Island, to which tradition assigns a pic ture worthy of a poet or painter, and which, if real, occurred nearly two hun dred and seventy years ago. The dace is called MassasioVs Spring and is on the shore of Warren River, one of the glimmering corners of Narragansett Bay. Here the old pastoral chief, Massasoit had one of his rustic, royal residences, omid the cool oaks and river meadows. He protected the -English Colony at Plymouth for fifty years, the dusky guardian of the cradle of the nation. Here he fell sick in the early days of the Colony, and while lying at the point of death Edward Winslow, of Colonial fame, and John Hampden, a gentleman of London who wintered at Plymouth desiring to see the country, came to visit him. This John Hampden is sup posed to have been the afterward great English commoner whose resistence to royal taxation led to the Commonwealth and indirectly to the principles that founded the American Republic. He is thought to have 'visited Plymouth pri vately when a young man, to provide a provincial home and refuge for the En glish patriots should the popular cause fail. He gave his sympathy to the sick chief, and helped nurse him back to health, and the chief disclosed to him a .plot of the Indian tribes to destroy the Plymouth Colony. The picture of the young commoner under the oaks of the Narragansett, min istering to the wants of the great hearted Indian chief, is one that the ar tistic sense will ever have to recall, whatever may be its historical value. Be it true or not, there is another scene in John Hampden's early life which every young man may recall with profit. He was ushered into gay life, and affected by it. But he saw that the people needed a leader, and that such a leader must be a self-restrained man. He resolved to put all selfish pleasures and gratifications under his feet, and to make himself worthy of the cause. A historian thus records the result : "He was the supreme governor over all his passions and affections, and had thereby great power over other men's." This sentence is worth reading twice. "If I could choose what person 1 would be in the world's history," said a philo sophical writer, I would be John Hamp den." "Some village Hampden," sings Gray in regard to unfamed patriots. What tbe pcet sings of the commoner of Wendover and the martyr of Chalgrove Feild may be applied to all who over come evil tendency in youth for the sake of other's rights, influence, aud cause. In this moral battle-field each young man may be "Some village Hampden." Youth's Companion. The Queen of Spain. A prominent Spanish statesman, says the Fall Mall Gazette, was asked the other day to what he attributed the strange fact that a woman, and a for eigner, held the reins of government successfully in her hands in a country so undermined as Spain by political in trigue. "The marvel, if "marvel there be," was the reply, "can be explained in the simplest manner. A he jueen main tains her position because she is the ex act opposite of an intriguing and con spiring woman, bhe tells no false hoods, has nothing of the hypocrite about her, is as simple and modest as she is honest, and there is nobody in Spain who is not convinced that she tries to do her best for the country. The Queen's popularity especially with the women of Spain is a real power which gives her much of the hold which she has over her subjects. Na tural tact, intelligence and kindness are also among the weapons by which Queen Christine maintains her posi tion. Like our own Queen, the Queen Re gent of Spain has worn mourning ever since the death of her consort, and only quite lately she has begun to wear, jewelry on Btate occasions. In public the Qneen, who is 31 rears old. appears only with her son, the little King, with whom ehe takes drives in the neighbor hood of Madrid. The Queen's two danghters,aged9 and seven respectively, talk Spanish, French. German and En glish'fluently, and are both very strong and Healthy looking children. Since it has become knom that the Queen calls Alphonso XIII. "Bubi," in memory of her Austrian home, Spanish ladies have begun to call their children by the name, which ignorant of its real derivation from babe, boy they trace back to the English term,baby, or more ingeniously, from "puppy." -" A fabm journal says a cow can be pre vented from kicking by tying her hind legs together.

When Milan Eastwick was married, every one predicted that the young couple just entering on the matrimonial voyage of life would have a happy and prosperous trip. Lillie Marcet, now Lillie Eastwick, was an orphan when she married East wick. Her father had died when she was only five years of age, and three years later her mother had joined her father in that unknown land beyond death. She had then gone to live with a maiden aunt, a good-hearted woman, but rather too cold in manner to be the instructor of a vivacious child. Lillie's parents had left her a fair competence, and so she wanted for nothing but love. She believed with the coming of Milan Eastwick that want was filled, and that her life would be a continual round of happiness in his company. Nearly five years flew by, and we find domestic affairs at the Eastwick house hold on anything but the smooth plane on which we would have expected to find them from their auspicious netting out. Lillie was no Bociety woman. She had not been one from the start of her married life. She loved the quiet of her own fireside, coupled with the pleasure which the society of her hus band alone could give. On the contrary, he was a lover of his social club, where he spent nearly all the time which he could spare from the office. He had been a rising young real estate dealer when Lillie married him. His ventures had nearly all turned out well, and now he was comparatively wealthy. She begged him to spend a part of his even ings at home with her, or, if he needs must go out every night, to go with her to some place of amusement. She offered to give up her love of home aud quiet for the sake of a little more of his society. But Eastwick was intensely selfish ! He loved his wife with a selfish sort of a love, but he loved Eastwick's self enjoyment more. He pointed out to her the social position she might occupy if she only would fill it, and the pleas ure it would bring her, he claimed, would be equal to that furnished him by his club. And so a coldness came be tween them, and with it the ever ready tempter. She met tbe tempter at a friend's, where both were guests. He was a handsome, reckless young fellow named Howard Fordyce. The conversation of the man seemed to fascinate her as the basilisk eye of the serpent charms its prey. She invited him to call, and he, having a decided penchant for the societv of married ladies, did so. Be fore long he became an almost daily caller, and she found herself confiding to him her home troubles and secrets, and listening to his words of condolence and pity. Gradually she ceased to long for tbe society of her husband as she had done of yore, and her ear was already com mencing to listen for the footstep of an other than the one she had promised to love and cherish. Her husband seemed to take no notice of this new state of affairs. He seemed only to feel that she had ceated to trouble him for his society, and he was satisfied. The end might have been seen. As littie by little the tiny drops of water wear away the hardest rock, so the words of pity, and then of burning, unholy passion which he poured into her ears wore away the love and affec tion which once she had held for her husband. Then his (the latter's) pres ence, what little time be was at the house, became hateful to her. Fordyce told her that he loved her better than he could ever love another woman, and that if she would fly with him, as soon as she was legally free he would wed her. She believed him, and one day left her husband, home, and all that a woman holds dear, to go forth to a life of ein. Her husband was shocked and morti fied beyond measure. He had never dreamed that his wife had thought of such a step. He really loved her, and the blow came very hard on him, and for several i days he was prostrated. Her death he could have borne much easier; but this was worse than death it was disgrace. In a few months he secured a legal separation. She passed out of his life, and he settled down to his old bachelor life that he had livcd.before he married. Before a year had passed Howard Fordyce wearied of his victim. Long before the year passed she bitterly re pented the rash lact which had b'asted her whole future life; but it was too late to repent tbe part, now, .he th ughi. Many and many times, with bitter tears, did she beseech him to fulfill his pr.mi-i-e. now that -he wa free, and make her hi-, wife. He only laughed at her tears and pleadings, and told her that be had never seriously thought of 6uch a thing as tying hinr-elf to any woman for life, let aione one of her character. To be reproached by the very man who had caused her disgrace was indeed a bitter blow, and it served to show her more plainly all that she had sacrificed for the heartless man before her. The next day he left her alone in a large city, without money or friends, and with a blasted name. She did what ninety-nine out of every hundred of her class would do fell lower than before, and joined herfor- nn with thosA of a. WAll-knnwri nam. bier. They drifted about from place to , place, and at the end of jfive years from I the time she left her honiewe find them in the west, following- up a great rail road system then being built. Stopping , at tne terminal bianon oi ine roaa till it was built on, and then following it np, was their plan to fleece strangers and laborers, a large part of whose wages each month found their way into the gambler's pockets. Billy Spy, for that was tbe gambler's namealwaya had bis arrangements for a eonplt of rooms, la houterUat aiada ahead, so he would have some place to live and to entice his victims in. One day be entered the outer room of the .two which they occupied, accompa nied by a man at the sight of whose face Lillie's heart almost ceased to beat. It was her former husband, Milan Eastwick, older in years and with streaks of grav in his hair, but other wise not much changed since she last saw him. She had little fear of lm recognizing her now, for her features and form had changed much in the five years that had elapsed since she left him. He had come out along the new road to locate real estate in some of the new growing towns. Meeting Spy, tbe latter had invited him to his rooms for a social game, and Eastwick, nothing loth, consented. For a moment Lillie could not speak ; then, gaining control of her voice, she called the gambler into the room where she was. "Billy, you must not fleece that man," she said, "for my sake dont !" Her voice trembled with emotion and her face was deathly pale, for all her old happy life was recalled by the sight of Eastwick's face. "Not fleece him, Lil? wbv not? WTiat's he to you?" "He was once ray husband, Billy, and I left him for a in.ui that cast me aside like a worn out glove. I have caused him trouble enough now, without help ing to cause him more." "All right, Lil, I won't; but I should think you'd be glad to get some of the old duffer's money. I'll play him a 'square' game and let him go." "Thank you, Billy," she said; "111 remember your kindness" Billy returned to the outer room, and he and Eastwick were soon engaged in a little game of poker. The gambler meant to keep his promise to Lillie and play a fair game, but the glimpse he caught of a large roll of money which Eastwick carried, and his desire to have a haul at it, overcame all his good in tentions. He first commenced to cheat on a small scale, but, emboldened by his success, he became careless, and Eastwick, who understood the game well, caught him in the act of cheating. Rising to his feet, Eastwick gathered up lus part oi tbe stakes tuen on tne table. "Sir," be said to Spy, "when I came here it was to play a social game, and to play it honorably. I see, however, I have mistaken a common, swindling gambler for a geutleman." Spy was known n. a bad man by his fellow-gamblers and while Eastwick was speaking he had grown white to the lips. "You lie!" he shouted, ai the other ceased speaking. "1 won that money fairly on the last bet, aud it" you don't lay it down you shall never leave here alive." "I shall leave heie now," replied Eastwick, "aud ou attempt to stop ine it will be at the peril of your life," and his hand flew toward a pocket where he carried a heavy revolver. But Spy was too quick for him. Whipping out a re volver, be leveled it and fired. Lillie, who had beard the angry words of tbe two men, now rushed out from the inner room and flung herself between them, screaming: "Billy, don't ! Put up your" The pistol cracked sharply and her words ended iu a long drawn wail of agony as she fell dyitig to tbe floor. A tiny stream of blood flowed from the wound and gathered iu a little pool. Neither man attempted to contiuue the struggle. The tragedy already enacted seemed to drive all their former anger from their minds. "Go," exclaimed Spy. as Eastwick made a step forward as though be would lift the dead woman from the floor; "I will care, for my own dead." "At least tell who she was," said East wick. "No! It i3 nothing to you who oi what she was. Leave us !" fiercely ex claimed the gambler. Taking a last look at the half averted face of tbe dead, about which there seemed to be sometbiug strangely famil iar, Eastwick turned and left the house. For days afterward he could hear the dying wail of tbe murdered woman ringing in his ears. He did not know for years who it was that gave her life for bis, till "Gambler Bill." on his death-bed, wrote and told him all. Then be searched out her un marked grave and had her remains removed to a city where her sins were unknown and erected a handsome mon ument to mark her grave. Mr. Orth's Begging Constituent. Benton McMiliiu retailed a story which he said he bad beard from the lips of GodloveS. Orth, formerly a well known representative from Indiana. Soon after tbe beginning of the war an old Hoosier, who lived in his district, wrote him a letter. It began thus: Dear Jedge: I take my pen in hand to let you know that we are all well an' hope this will find you en joyin' tbe same blessin'. He wrote that he had a wife and a boy that was mighty smart. He said that he had voted for the "Jedge" every time that he bad been a candidate, and he thought it was about time he got somethin'. He said that he understood that the Government had lots of guns on hand, and he wanted him to send him by express right off, a double-barrelled shotgun for his boy. "Get a breech-loader if you can," be continued, "and if you can't git a breech loader send on a good muzzle-loader, stub and twist barrels. The boy js jist thirteen-year-old, an' he kin shoot like ole Dannel Boon. After you send the shotgun lease send me yer latest report on agriculter an' a lot of garden seeds for my wife." Mr. Orth hesitated awhile before re plying to the letter. He finally wrote that he was very sorry be could not send the shotgun, because tbe Govern ment was in need of all the guns that could be got to put down the rebellion. He took great pleasure, however, in sending the latest agricultural report and the garden seeds to the man's wife. Four years afterward, when the war had closed, Ottb picked up another let ter one day with the same direction : "Honribel Godless S. Orth, House of Rips, Washington, D. C." In this, the old man called his attention to the fact that the war 1-rd just ended and that the go-ernmr-it must have "heaps uv guns on hand He therefore wanted him to send bv the first express a double-barrel'ed shotgun, "breech-loadin,' " for his boy. "The boy was now a goin' on seventeen year, an' he is the best shot in Injeany. Git him a good gun an' git it quick, for the holiday shootin' is a comin' on an' he wants to kill somethin' for Cbris' mis." In conclusion the old Hoosier said: "I want you to send me the lat est copy of your agricultural report, an' my wife wants sum more garden seeds. Mr. Orth was in a quaudary. He had given a good excuse for not sending the shotgun in his former letter, but now he was stuck. He thought over tbe matter for some time, and finally concluded that there was only one way out of the difficulty. He bought a second-hand shotgun, breech-leading, and sent it to the old man by express. At the same time his latest agricultural report and the garden seeds were for warded. Mr. McMillin says that be afterward heard that Orth was avenged. One day, as the old man was trying the power of the gnn, it exploded and killed him. But McMillin does not say that "Godless S. Orth" told thR From the Philadelphia Time: Washington ?099tp, WOO0HULL AND CLAFTLIIT. onso Interesting Anecdote of tTao Fammi Staters Victoria's Heart Tonal and the OsVlaaftOCioroe The arrival of the Woodhall-Claflin sis ters in New York, accompanied by their English husbands, Mr. John Biddalph Martin and Sir Frederick Cooke, has thrown good many people into their "an ecdotsge. These women, who left a very queer reputation behind them and have re turned with a notably good one from the land of their adoption, have awakened many reminiscences, in the minds of those who observed them twenty years ago when they were such conspicuous iig urep in tbe public view. Tne elder sister had then been separated for some time from Dr. Woodhull, tbe husband whom she had been forced to marry when barely 15 years old. He had filled np the measure of bis sins against hisvoune wife by locking her into an empty house in Broad street, where for twenty-four hours she lay helpless and alone with a new-born child beside her, white he was off on a ten-days debauch. He staggered horns at the end of that time and would have then found his wife and baby dead but for the kindness of strangers in the adjoining house, who, hearing a faint, continual rapping on the wall between, penetrated to the closed house by way of the cellar grating and rescued the sick women. The younger sister, Tennie C. Claflin, was a pretty girl who "knew enough to take care of herself," according to a hoary broker, who was doubtless in a position to know. She was an artist of considerable lability, and in those days painted a por trait of Commodore Vanderbilt, which was hy the way a very good likeness. The sit ting took place at tbe old gentleman's house. He was exceedingly fond of tbe bright, pretty littleartist, with her short, curly crop of hair, her piquante face and chirpy, cheery ways and would often say: "Come here, you little 6parrow, and perch on my finger." Then when she ran to him, the tall old man would catch her np and giving her a kiss 6end her back to her easel. Tbe commodore's wife was often present, and she also liked Miss ClsJin, cf whom she invariably said, "There is no harm in tbe child, of that I am sure: By and by, when the sisters W6re edit ing their paper, with tbe assistance of Colonel Blood, they took a house on a street somewhere in the thirties. Next door lived two elderly ladies, relatives of the late Dr. Morgan, of St. Thomas's chnrcb. They were tbe quientessence of bigb-bred respectability and conserva tism, and when they learned who were about to become their neighbors despair settled darkly upon their household. Their impulse was to sell out and move. As time went on, however, they found noth ing to complain of, and were in no way disturbed. In the warm, late spring days, looking through their bowed shutters into the "Woodhull back yard, they espied a hammock swung across the little grass plot, to which, day after day, whenever the weather wax fine, a miserable palsied man was ttmderly led by Victoria "Wood hull, then a tall stately young woman. She would prop him with pillows, cover him with rugs, read aloud to him, and evn feed him, as he was too feeble to per form that office for himself. The good ladies next door found their curiosity presently unbearable, so they in structed their servant, durirg an area-door seance with the next door, to find out who the man was. In this way they learned that the invalid was Dr. Woodhull. One rainy night Mrs. Woodhull bad come in from down town drenched. The kitchen fire was tbe onlv one alight in the honse. and Ehe went to the r.inge to warm herself. While there the basement bell rang and a wretched, trembling man betged for food. An impulse of pity led her to go forward to tbe poor creature, in whom she at o&ce recognized her husband. His troubles wete at nn end from that instant. Tbe injured wife pat away the memory of her wrongs, nursed him ns Iodr as he lived, and gave him a good "send oH" when be was dead. Ever aftr in speaking of their neighbor, these worthy dames snid: " We can never believe anything bad of that woman after the saint-like way she nursed that dreadful sinnev.of a husband of ber's." Vctr York World. The Preventive of s Terrible Disease. No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms of lung disease, involve each a tremen dous destruction of organic tissue aa those which fasten u on the kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chronic and nono are so Uablo to assume that phase completely wreck the system. To prevent this terrible dieeas, recourse should be had, npon tbe first manifes tation of trouble, to Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which experience has proved to be hi jhly effective as a means of imparting tone and regu laiity to tbe orgai s of urination, as viell as to the liver, stomach, and bowels. Another bene ficial result of this medicine, naturally conse quent upon its diuretic action, is tbe eUmlaa tion from the blood of impurities which beget rheumatism, rejrolgia, gout, dropsy , and other maladies. By increasing the activity of the kid nei, it augments tho depurative e-fEclency of these organs, which are most important outlets for the escape of such impurities. The Chinamen of Astoria, Ore., aro amusing themselves with a huge top made out of an empty 25-pound white lead keg. A square opening is cut in the side, and it takes three men to spin it. one to bold tbe top and two to pull tbe string with a stick, which sets it in motion. Wbi'e spinning it sounds like the whistle of a stenrner, and can be beard three blocks away. Confidence Beget of Success.

The coasBiodore of one of the Atlantic lines, who has for many years beea a great adssirer of Stanley, had a personal inter view with the explorer just before his ship left England last week. In speaking of it yesterday he said that he experienced a great shock at the change in the explorer's manner. "I don't know that it is a change either," said the commodore, thoughtfully, "as all of Stanley's friends were impressed by his utter indifference to things iu gen eral long before be started on his last African tour, but I think few of us expect ed to find him so thouroughly hardened and hopelessly indifferent. Absolutely nothing interests him except the heart of Africa. He does not complain of ill-health, but the elasticity of his nature has depart ed. He never laughs, and when he s i iles it is apparently with a painful effort. His thorough mastery of everything that re lates to Africa makes him interesting when he cares to talk of his bobby. But it is like pulling teeth to try to interest him iu anything elee. He is emphatically a man of one idea to-day. There is no question about his coming visit to Americ.i. He speakes of it as a holiday. He needs the trip, for, to my mind, there is no doubt that he is out of humor with everybody and everything in London." AVir lorA:' Sun.
