The proposed scientific expedition to
Sow Gttltun from the United Stntcn has

England and Australia , and the probnblo
results of the enterprise buvo been clnb-
jratoly mid ably diecusacd. During the

The Intjrior of the conntty seoraa as BE

proven an uDsurmonntablo barrier to the
.nvo&tiRatlons of acloncoa , Quo of the

Italian soldier now residing in San
Francisco , who made two ttlpa to the

when ho penetrated fifty miloa from the

been contradicted , that Weber ant

\\hcn mot by the Globo-Domocrat re
potter the Chevalier had just finished i
conversation with a St. Louis man who I
enthusiastic over the proposed voyage o
discovery , but Bruno by nomeans sbarei
his enthusiasm.
"I think this cclontifi'o expedition wil
fall as all otherj have done , " declared th
Chovftller.
"Why ? "
FAILURE TIIllOUOH TREACHERY.
"Because it is not conducted oil tb
right plan. It will bo n sarlona miafak
to tnkoSo many white men among th
native ] of Now Guinea , bcciuso they ar
ferocious and treacherous. Beeidoth
ollmato Is almost certain death to Euro
poauB , as evidenced by the fact tlut !
attempts tj coloniza the islands 1mv
resulted in failure. An ex pa
dltion , to ba successful , must have
nnn-of-war and the support of a govern
ment behind it. Jealousies are certain
to atiso , and where so many men ar
placed under the command of a civilian
insubordination is almost certain to fo !
low. It would require a largo sum o
money to fit out such an enterprise , am
then the chances are that very llttl
would bo accomplished. "
"What is raally known about the Is
lands of Now Guinea ? "
"Virtually nothing , except as to th
ccait , D'Alberti , ono of my countrymen
claims to have penetrated into the inter
ior a distance of 300 miles ; but In m
opinion , no ono will cyer explore th
Island from ono ondto the other. "
' You must have good raasong for th
belief1 ?
"My reasons for such an opinion ar
the unhoalthlncsa of the climate , the war
like nature of the natives , and the torr ;
bio mountains and swamps , which no Hv
ing being can pass over or through. I
1871 I Rot forty miles form the coast L
search of yams and coccanuta. Thor
were eight men in my boat , and wo wor
fired upon from the high banks of th
Fly river. Fortunately none of us wcr
hit , and I avoided a fight with the sav
ages. "
"Do they have fire-arms1
A SAVAGE PEOPLE.
"Only those near the coast. Tw
hundred miles inland
thsy never saw o
heard the report of a gnn. Even at som
points along the coast they are ignoran
of the existence of powder and ball ,
ahall never forgot ono night wo were ar.
chored In a small bay. The moon shon
brightly , not a cloud obscured tbo beau
tifal tropic * ! sky nnd a doath-llko calm
rested on land and water. Wo had eon
presents to the inlanders to satisfy them
of our friendliness , but they mistrustc
us. I finally induced
a few to como o ;
board the vessel and told them I woul
show how I talked to my God , pointin ,
at the same time toward the star-lit sky
Those on shore came out of tholr huts t
BSD the whlto man talk with his God
and the n'ght ' was ono of the moat pic
turesquo I over saw. Wo had eomo sk
rockets on board and I Crod two or thro
of them. As the poor savages BJW th
bright flames -hoot up and away into th
heavens , they prostrated themselves o
the ground amid yells end cries of tor
ror. I was during our stay there ro
gardcd as a supernatural being. "
"What did you discover in your vlsl
to the interior ? "
"I found unmistakable traces of gold
but was not prepared to make a thor
ough Investigation. The country is very
mountainous and rough , which separate' '
the different tribes. They are very hoa
tile toward each other. Cannibalism I
practiced among them. Prisoners taken
In war are killed , cooked and caton
They USD spear. ] and bows and arrows
I learned by oxperlenco that the Itland
era are all thieves. They will not hea
itato to kill a stranger for purposes o
robbery. "
"Is polygamy practiced ? "
"In ome ports of the country I presume
sumo so , but not where I vititod. Tlu
women are qulto good looking and generally
orally virtuous. The people of Now
Guinea are coppor-colorcd with smootl
regular features. They do not po-sos
the flat noaea of the African npqroos
and are withal handsome savages. "
FEV U AND SAVAGES.
"Can New Guinea over bo utilized by
white men 1"
"I think not. It will never bo of any
practical benefit. If there ii gold ii
largo the whlto '
quantities man can't go
ft It. Fevers and the natives would de
stroy him. My American companion
Oapt. Woberdled on chipboard just after
wo returned from our trip to the Into
rior. The islands can bo of no value or
cept to the people who Inhabit them. 0
court o , they might bo destroyed by an in
vadlng array well equipped with guns
and cannon , but the reward wouldn't p y
the cost. Scientific men would probabl ;
make some important discoveries , and '
should like to tee tbo American axpcdl
tlon succeed , Those who go mnst be
prepared never to return. "
"Ilavo you any doslro to make the
journey again ? "
"None whatever. I am entirely sit Is
fioi with my former oxpoiiouco. I con
sider myself fortunate to got away allvo
It Is qulto likely the American part )
will not etirt on the voyage of discovery co
lo Iho Inhospitable Now Guinea. The
New York millloimro who wai to have
equipped the expedition has not turned
up , and the sehemo la deemad almost as
visionary l ! as a irlp to the
North Polo. The struRglo of
Spain 1 , England , France , Gtr-
many and Holland for the poase-slou of
Now i Guinea are ludicrous to behold. All
these powers have hoisted their flags In
different points of tlio Islands at various
dlC
periods ) , but the posts are now aban
doned , and the natives , confosod by tlio
lumber of countries who offered them
protection > , have concluded they don't
wl ant any protection , and oppose tbo on-
wlh of allstrangots. Along the coaita
hey pretend to bo friendly , ovcriwod by
, ho ships and guns of the invadero. "
EARLY EFFORTS AT EXPLORATION ,
The numerous attempts to colonize
tfow Guinea fonu an Instructive history
or the adventurers who want to odd an
other failure to the lorg list of dlsiators
n tha past. The Islands which have
caused eo much trouble to actonlifio cx-
ilorors are n third of a degree of latitude
loulh of the equator and about 100 miles
west of the lower portion of Australia.
3oino of the navigators who have vifitcd
.ho Islands persist that tha climate Is s lu-
jrlous , but the cxpoiienco of these who
iavo attempted to reside there flatly con
tradicts this assertion. The first expe
dition to visit Now Guinea was under iho
direction of the Portugo-o government ,
359 years ago , and from that time to the
present Franco , England and llollaml
liavo sent vo'sch of war thoro.
Germany has recently hoisted her flag on
the island , although all the other coun
tries except Portugal still claim the own
ership by right of discovery. 11 Is raid
that Now Guinea was at ono time a Rood
point for catching slaves , and to this fact
in same moasnro Is duo the undying en
mity of the natives to the whlto man.
Several of the expeditions to the myster
ious country have resulted tragically.
Mr. Ingram , provisional governor oi
Queensland , while sojourning in Now
Uuinon , was poisoned , together with six
native school toachore , while other ad
venturers have been killed by the savage
Inhabitants of the island. The A us
trallan colonists who have sought to eot
tlo in Now Guinea have all been tomptct
by prospects of gold , but the precious
metal has boon found only in small qnan
titles. Perhaps iu t.io mountains , two
hundred ml03 ! from the coast , gold ma ]
exist in immense veins , bnt this is moro
speculation , os no man has succeeded in
reaching that far. D'Albnti , the Italian
before referred to , followed the banks o"
the Fly river , which , by all accounts , i
the principal river of the country. Tin
stream is not navigable on acouut of the
trees and logs which fill thu watar along
the cntlro course. There seeing to bo veri
litllo dlflbrcnco of opinion ES to th
treacherous character of the natives
although the charge that cannibalism i
anywhere Indulged In Is denied.
A Story t > r tlio "War.
Uncle Jack , the confederate quarter
master who was so kind to Union pris
oners , tolh this story.
In 1802 theio was a prisoner In Llbb ;
from Pennsylvania , at present a mighty
factor ia the politics of the Keystone
stale Gen. Herey Whito. Ho was then
Maj. 'White. While ho was putting ii
the wearisome days and nights partakin ;
of JelF Davis' hopitallty , ho WHS eloctoc
to represent his district in tbo Ponnsyl
vanla senate. Just at that time th
state wanted to send a representative t <
the United States senate , and the legls
laturc 1 , on joint ballot , with
out White , was a tie. Th
to republicans wanted White badly , anc
te offer was made to give several south
ern majors fur him. Col. Robert Quid
the confederate poaca commissioner
undertook to use this fact In obtaininu
n general exchange of prisoners , anc
while negotiations were In progress
White , on the occasion of some non
combatants being sent north , impersonated
atod a surgeon and escaped. His aba one
was discovered , however , before reaching
the truce-boat , and ho was rocapturec
and sent to Salisbury , where ho wa
placed under strict surveillance until ex
changed. During the time that Maj
White was confined in Libby the rebc
commissary was kind to him , and as a
sequel to the story ' 'Unclo Jack" tell
how magnanimously White returned th
kindness. When Richmond was taken
by the northern troops the old quarter
master was himself made a prisoner
Ho was charged with cruelty to prison
era and threatened with hanging. During
hfs incarceration vrho should visit tbo old
stamping-ground but Maj. Harry Whlto
now a general. White immediately recognized
ognized his old friend and saw that h
i in trouble. Ho profl'arod hii assist
ance , and waa asked by the rebel ollicor
to go and dispel the fears of his little
daughter , who was almost wild with the
apprehension that her father would r.uflor
death at the hands of the Yankees. "If
after doing that , " sold Uncle Jack ,
fuel displace ! to Interest yourself in
behalf tnrthor I thall bo grateful for
whatever In your maznanimity you may
accomplish. " Upon the interposition o :
Gen. White an examination was made ,
and iho result was this report , which is
now preserved by the old man a priceless
loss yellow relic :
Great pains hnvo been taken to procure the
facts In this case , and from reliable evidences
nt hand it is found that Capt. Warner iiol
only waa not cruel to prisoners , but ho waa
extremely kind , and on one occasion ho was
given three cheers by 1,800 Union prisoners
on a Bteamer , who had just left the prison ,
God knows how I love that man,1
aid tnclo Jack , with tears in hi-eyes
and shaking with emotion. "I wish
could see him again. "

short oil' , aud when the sexton , inatond
of apologizing , called mo a cross-grained
old thing , my heart was broken , too , I
really believe "
"Well , well ! " continued the contribn-
; lon box , after a pause , "I've scuti a good
deal In my time , untl it may not bo whol-
y unprofitable for you to hoar aomo of
my expcricncon. 1 have been a close
observer all my life , ami I thluk 1 know
something about human n&tnro. It was
ilwaya very amusing to mo , when 1
passed beneath the notes of the people in
the pews , t'i tratch the varied expres
sion ! ) on the faces nbovo mo. There
was old Mrs. Galoun , for example. She
web the wldcst-awoku woman you over
saw , on ordlmiy occasions ; bnt when I
came around she was always fast asleep
or prctoudcd to bo and , though I often
gave her a good hearty nudge , it cover
amounted to any thing ; she never so much
a ? quivered , but sat as immovable as a
marble statue , with her eyes as close shut
as the jaws of a sprung bear-trap. I did
catch her once , however , by returning
unexpectedly to hcrpow , tftor having
pjssod by It. Her eyes were wldo open ,
but as eoon as she saw mo olio Icokcd up
toward the coiling with a heavenly ex
pression , as though lojt in p'ous ' mtdita-
tlon. stayed as long as 1 dared , but It
was no tieo Her eyes never quit thof

on."Then thera was Grabomall , the rlcl
contractor. It almost made mo split KJJ
way In which ho noulddrop a nlcklo Into
ray pouch. I know , of coarse , just how
much ho contributed ; bnt everybody else
supposed , trom the air of careless prod !
gality which ho put on , that ho had givei :
§ 5 , at the very least. How different hlf
manner was from that of widow Geode
who sat just behind him ] She never
gave less than a dollar. I know the
couldn't afford it , and it almost made mo
feel like a thief to take it from her. She
used to ellp the money into my pocket as
though she were doing something wlckec
and were ashamed to let anybody knowit
"Tlio young ladies would hold out . '
dime in their delicate gloved fingcra with
a sanctimonious air , and then likely aa
not giggle right In my face , though 1
never could understand what they saw to
laugh at ; the children would throw their
great noisy pennies Into my packet with
a jolly eagerness that was quite refresh
ing , but 1 must own that I went away
from their pews oftlmcs with a haavj
heart and feeling qulto cheap , notwith
standing their plentiful donation * ; anc
there was ono family of boys the little
rascals ! who used to put lozenges Into
my pocket. I afterwards found out that
their mother gave them 10 cents apleco ,
and they used to buy candy with it , one
feed mo ou sweetmeats. But perhaps
the young scamps were not really so bad
after all. Possibly they thought the little -
tlo heathen children might like a little
candy now and then , as well as them
selves.
"I have noticed that people liked to
sit behind iha man who gave a dollar bill
They all of them always gave something
or , at least , appeared to give something
and I have been so uncharitable as to
think that they wanted to have It soemto
the pews back of them that it waa they
who contributed the dollar , and not the
little bald-headed man In the front scat
I suppose ono reason why I gjt this Idea
into my head was because when the firs
pow gave only a small plcca of mono ;
I wouldn't receive another cent In the
whole nlsle ; ni though , so I fancied
everybody was afraid te f-ivo himsel
away , aa they say nowadays.
"I used to smllo when the doicon who
carried mo around would stand up before
the whole congregation and throw a whole
handful of coin into my pocket. Every
body got the impression that the
good deacon wai a very benevolent
gentleman , and I moro than
half believe ho thought so himself. Ills
face looked like a horn of plenty , and ho
gave the money in snob an abstracted
manner that though nobody could fail to
see the operation , everybody must liavo
thought that ho was quite oblivious ol
any one's presence. Bnt between yon
and mo , the deacon never put in any
money , not a cent , I assure you. When
he wont to church , ho always had a tin
disk. Of course they were always dis
covered when the money was counted ;
bnt everybody laid it to the
boys up in the gallery. How
ever , the deason's contributions did a
power of good , not so much for it- In
trinsic worth as from the beautiful example -
plo it afforded to others. If the deacon
could bo eo liberal , others felt as though
they could give generously also. There'a
nothing so potent in this world , after all ,
as a good example.
"I couldn't begin to toll you all the a
queer things IVo seen , " continued the
contribution box. "Somo folks who
know hadn't paid tholr butch
er for six months would give liber
ally , snd others who were worth no
end of money would hold out a ten
cent piece and let go of It with great
reluctinco and with a sigh and a shud
der that were quite siddening. Bat :
the meanest man I ever know was a
well dressed chap whom I detected moro
than once putting In a dime and taking
out a quarter. I never passed him un
noticed , and ho was generally conaidorod
ono of the main supports of the church ; of "
but I could have told a quite different
story. " "
The Oontrioutlon Box stopped spoak-
ng , Possibly , however , It might have
resumed and told many moro strange
things , but just at this moment the
sexton came along and , remarking , "I a
uess you are good for nothing now

Box beneath hla heavy heel and knocked
into kindling wood. A moment moro

ian Francisco Call.
Capt. L. U. Horandoon , a mirinor
who has intent years in nailing the trnck-
osa Pacific , related to a Call reporter n
few days ago facta that ho had observed
which toud to prove the theory sat forth
sy Dana th it there is an immense area
of the Pacific oo\n btd , Ijing under tbo
equator , about 0,000 miles in length and
nnd about 3,000 miloa in breadth , tlut
ins been gradually sinking lower and
iowor for thousands o ycarc , till now
Mid that wan once lying in the aun and
wathcd by the wavca Is buried in fath
omless depths. The following Ia tbo
nterestlii- ! story told by Capt. Uoran-
docu :
"Ihoro Is simple evidence that n vast
area In the Central Pacific ocean , now
sunk for deeper than the fathom line
coen wna once nbovo Iho Biirfaca of the
eoi , and moit probably Inhabited _ by n
race of people far superior in intelligence
and civilization to the Polynesians or
Kanakas who now dwell on the to-ky
islands , which In former iimo _ were Iho
opu cf mountain peak * . An immense
area of the ocean bed has been sinking
for thousands of years and the character
tf the people who hnvo lived in that ro
glen of the wnld , scorns to bo sinking
lower snd lower i\s the land subsides.
The first thiog that called tbo attention
of scientific nun to this great fact was the
formation of the innumerable atolls and
barrier roofs in that part of the Pacific
ocean. They found on the outskirts of
this area , that there were Islands fringed
with coral rcufa.
THU COllAL OIUDLES.
"Aa they sailed past thcao boantlfu' '
islands they BJW other islands with a
barrier circling them. A coral reef a
few foot below the surface of the water
girdles the Island at n diitnnco from il
varying from half to thirty milca , and
whoso presence is marked by a ring of
snowy fcam made by the broakora. As
they j ponetrotcd further into the region
of the sea they cnmo upon ntolh , which
are formed by circles of coral inclosing
a smooth sheet of water. Those lagoona
were found to vary in. diameter from 3C
miloa or moro to only n few feet , bnt
corals do not build tholr roofs at
graater depth than 100 feet , and yet by
Rounding these singular roe fa in the Pa
cific ocean it was found that the coral
reached as far aa the fathom line wont.
The conclusion of scientific men was that
.
the bed of the ocean traa gradually sink
ing , and that the corals began to build
fringing reefs on the islands , nnd as the
land sink the corals kept steadily ni
work building up as fast as the
land wont down. As the fs'am'
disappeared the fringing rocfj bocnmo
atolls , or circles of coral Inclosing n calm
Jairnon. It ia found that the reefs below
100 foot are dead , and It is inferred tha *
at a lower depth than that the corah
were killed by cold. This la the gener
ally accepted theory in regard to the sub
sldenco of the Pacific.
"But there is other evidence which Is
moro Interesting , because it relates to
the decay of a great race of people that
once inhabited this region. A few years
ago I stopped at Pouynipoto Island , ii
the Pacific , in east longitude 153 dcg. 22
ruin , and north latitude G dog. DO min.
The island is surrounded by n reef , with
a broad ship channel between It and the
island.
riiEiiisrouic TEMPLES.
"At places in the roof there wer
natural breaks that served as entrances to
kho harbors. In thoeo ship channels
there Trero a number of islands
many of which wera sur
rounded by a wall of stone five
or six feet high , and on these islands
there stood a great miny low houses
built of the aaino kind of stone as the
walls about them. These structures
3Com to have boon used ai temples anc
Forte. The singular feature of thoeo
Islands is tint the Trails are a foot or
raoro below the water. When they were
built they were evidently above the
water nnd connected with the main-land ,
but they have gradually umk until the
! ci has risen a foot or mora around them
The natives on the bland do not know
when theeo works were built ; it la so far
jack in the past that they have even no
tradition of the structures. Yet the
works show signs of great skill , nnc
: oi-talnly provo that whoovur built them
cncw thoroughly how to transport and
ift havy blocks of stono. Up in the
uouutatns of the ( eland there isa quarry ol
, ho same kind of stone that was used In
building the wall about the islands , and in
hat quarry to-day there are great blocks
of utono that hevo been hewn out wady
for transportation. The natives have no
tradition touching the the quarry ; who
bowed the stone , when it wai done , or
why the work ceased. The natives
are in greater Ignorance of tbo great
phenomena that are going on about thorn
than the wbito man wh ? touches on their
island for a few hours for water. Thcro
Is uo doubt in my mind that the island i
was once Inhabited by on Intelligent race
of people , who built the temple H and
Forts of heavy masonry on the high bluffs
of the shore of the Island , and that as
the land gradually subsided these bluffs
became Islands. They stand to-day with
solid wall of stone around thorn , partly
submerged in water , "

Please do not confound any of the
whiskey bitters which topers take and
drunkards delight in , with that altogether
different article "Brown'a Iron Bitter * . "
No toper wants Brown's Iron Bitters , for
here Is nothing In It to satisfy the crav
ings of bis debased appetite. This great
iron medicine gives strength and now
life , not a mere unwholesome stimulus.
Sheriff Ponder of Washington County ,
Tonn. , writes that after using two bottles
It ho wai cured of dytpapsla. No
"whiskey bitters" could achieve each a
result.
