One of Stanley's Adventures.
While Stanley the African explorer
was working his way down the great
river whose union with the sea he was
the first to discover, he had thirty-two
adventures with the hostile natives in
some of which he lost a number ot men.
Due of these adventures is thus describ
ed by a correspondent of the Boston
Journal : The inhabitants had assemble d
oil the bank, seeing tills curious boat
tilled with strangers approaching, and
.Stanley's men said they thought the
cries which were almost deafening, of
a frienuly nature. But Stanley thought
not. To him the cries seemed warlike.
However, visious of eggs, chickens,
tresh milk, and prebaps goat's llesh,
for his exhausted uteu, flashed before
his eyes, aud he gave the signal to put
into the cove. No sooner had the boat
reached the sloping bauk, than it was
hauled fifty yards up on the shore by a
hundred hands, and beiore Stanley
and his astonished men could realise
where they were, they loutul them
selves in the centre of a circle of savages
each of whom was aiming an arrow at
the unlucky wight*. There were sev
eral hundred of these people, called the
Buuibrieh, after the name of their is
land on the shores, and [Stanley says
that he expected to be instantly massa
cred. llis gun and those of his men lay
in the bottom of the boat, and to stoop
to pick them up would have brought a
shower of arrows and' instant death.
80 he endeavored to reason with the
savages, and showed them some cloths
and beads, which they accepted. They
crowded around tneboat, however, and
one man took hold ot Stanley'sliair and
gave it a violent wrench, thinking that
it was a cap and would come ofl, dis
closing wool. This was hard to bear,
and meanwhile, one of Stanley *s men
received a stunning blow from aspear
haudle. Then the explorer made an
other litte speech, asking tor food and
to be allowed to continue his journey
promising more cloth and beads. The
savages thou made several ferocious de
monstrations, rushing down upon him,
gnashing their teeth and shaking their
spears in his verj* face; but they did
not kill him and finally retired to con
sult. This mortal agony of suspense
lasted from nine In the morning until
three iu the afternoon, during which
time Stanley did not get out of his boat,
nor did he take his eyes off the island
ers. At last, seeing 110 chance of any
thing but death, he gave the signal to
his men to be ready at a certain cry to
drag the beat into the water. Presen
tly the islanders bugan to return, and
something told Stanley not to wait. So
he shouted the word of command, and
the boat dew down the slope into the
water, his men diving all around it like
so many muskrats, in their eagerness
to escape the javelins and arrows which
they knew would come. Stanley pick
ed up his elephant gun, and, as an is
lander bouudiug on the beach was pre
paring to fire an arrow after the boat,
he shot him, and the immense bullet,
passing through the savage's body,
killed another behind him. Meantime
It was discovered that the oars were
lost, and Stanley's men were pad
dling with their hands as fast as they
could to get out of arrow range, when
they were horrified by seeing thirty-six
savages put off from Bumbrich in three
large canoes. The men in Stanley's
boat were anxious to fire at once, but
be ordered them to allow the canoes to
approach, and succeeded in sinking
two of them by firing into their sides
at the water line. In two minutes two
dozen savages were struggling in the
water and beating away for the shore
with vigorous strokes; the third canoe
renounced pursuit, and Stanley and his
men found themselves safe, but still
half dead from hunger when they
ioined the main body of the expedition.
Crazy Feople at the White House.
Crazy people are constantly calling
at the White House on all sorts of
errands with the President, but the
ushers generally find out their infirm
ity and get them out of the building in
some way or other, though some slip
past into the Presidential presence, and
others have to be turned over to the
police. There are a few who come
regularly, like the oid man living out
near Bladen9burg, who calls every two
month 3 to claim the presidential chair
to which he has been elected. He would
have come sooner to enter upon his
duties, but work on his farm prevented
his leaving home. The last time he
called he was more persistent than
usual, and Informed the ushers that he
would make no changes, except to turn
Secretary Schurz out of the cabinet.
He was asked it he had a wife, and re
plying in the negative, was told that
no unmaried man could be president,
whereupon he started right home to
get a wife. About Ave times in the year
a neatly dressed man of 35 years comes
down from Pennsylvania to take
possession of the White House and
treasury, which have been deeded to
him.; The man who ended the rebellion
wanted to see the President the other
morning and was told that he saw cal
lers at 414 10th street, a police station.
The man went there promptly and took
a seat, but after a time the keeper
wanted to know his business. He had
just called to see the President. The
keeper took In the situation and con
ducted the visitor to a cell, promising
to show the President right in when he
came. A few weeks ago an Ohio as
tronomer was on hand with a request
to be made superintendent of the naval
observatory, that he might avert the
earth's impending collision with the
other planets. A Maine woman walked
into the White House one day, and
spreading a large Bible she carried
under her arm on a window-seat, began
to preach on the necessity of being born
again. She had come on a mission to
convert President Haye3 and when she
was turned out, she repeated verse after
verse from the Bible in a loud voice,
and kept it up ail the way down the
concrete walk to the gate.

FARM AND GAR DRV.
DAMPNESS IN HUVSKS. — Many house
holders are sorely troubled by the
growth ot fungi in damp rooms to
which they communicate, in a short
time, an unpleasant, smell an I an un
wholesome atmosphere. It is not only
our cellars that are apt to be affected by
fungoid growth, but the walls ot the
adjacent rooms, and nit ny bed rooms on
the ground tloor are similarly leudcrou
useless alter a moist season. Many re
medics have been proposed to destroy
this fungoid growth, or to prevent its
occurence; but hitherto these remedies
have been too expensive or totally
inetfieacious. Recently an alcoholic
sola ion of five grammes of salicylic
acid per litre of water lor washing the
walls ot rooms has been recommended.
Hits Is exactly one-half per cent., or
one part sulicxlic acid tor 200 putts
liquid. No doubt the mold tuay be de
s 1 roved temporarily by this us by many
other solutions, such, lor instance, us
corrosive sublimate or carbolic acid.
The true remedy, however, is not this
temporary expedient, nor attempting
to hide the dampness by enamel paiuts,
etc.; it is 10 cui oil the source ot moist
ure ami to nut the watcrproot materials
outside ami not inside the walls.
THK RicHKsr HAY. —Grass made into
hay 111 such a manner as to retain the
most possible of all its natural juices,
makes the richest and best hay. iu
order to do ihi> it should be exposed to
the sun as little as possible, as a bright,
clear sun is very apt to bui .1, and thus
reduce quality. Hay made iu the shade
comes 1 lie nearest to natural grass; but
this is impracticable. The nearest ap
proach is either to cure in the cock,
with hay cap.-, or by constant, livquent
stirring with the tedder; thus curing
in the air more, and sunning small por
tions only. One day's curing is si lli
cieut, provided the air is dry and dry
ing, w here the grass is dry w hen cut,
and does not yield over two and one
half tons of dry hay to the acre. It to
be left out over night, It should be
raked and put into cooks while yet
warm, before any dew begins to lull in
the afternoon. The time when mois
ture begins to collect in the at-ernoon Is
earlier than most persons are aware of;
therefore it Is be.i to be in season.

from injury by contact. A socket in
the side receives a light pole of any
required length, and from the bottom
of the ring or crown extends alight
hose ot cotton drilling or other light
material to convey the lruit to the hand
of the operator or into a basket, wagon
or wherever desired. Standing on the
ground, the operator reaches lor the

and it drops down through the crown
and hose. The operator can hold the
pole in one hand and the hose in the
other, or tiie hose can be hooked to a
small, movable bracket placed 00 the
pole for that purpose, thus allowing ot
handling the pule with both hands, or
an assistant can manage the hose."
TIIK ARMY \\ ORM — The new appear

oountiy simultaneously lias created
great alarm among the farmers, lor
its ravages are so great and so speedy
and the difficulty 01 stopping them be
fore the mischief is done s suffi. ient to
strike terror into the heart ot the far
mer, lor he stands almost powerless
while his best fields ot grain and grass
and corn are laid bare before his fight.
The only preventive is unceasing
w aicthulness, and the promptest action
when the danger is near. United ac
tion too is necessary; upon its appear
ance upon any farm, notice should bo
given to the tieigobors; tiiey should
promptly assemble and render assis
tance to prevent tue iunher progress
of the army, ibis can be more or less
thoroughly done by burning the grain

the field to prevent its further march.
NEVER allow a lien to sit in a nest
that has been u.-ed for mouths with
out overhauling. When *-he gets
broody, give her a new, clean near.
Examine the box to see whether there
are any llee In the corners. Whether
any are found or not. it is a gate thing
to treat it as if they were discoverd to
be in possess.on. a little coal-oil
run down the corners inside; then give
It a thorough whitewashing. A hen
set in a nest prepared thus is insured
against lice until the brood is out, af
ter which the whole nest and box is to
be again overhauled and treated ex
actly as if it were very lousy. Too
many are careless in this matter.
Ibey complain of lice but do not ex
ercise sullicient vigilance to keep them
away. It is much easier to keep them
off than to drive them away after they
have once got possession. Lousy hen
quarters are not profitable, nor are they
creditable. Clean out the lice!
To KEEP OIK FLIES. —It is claimed
that ii a couple oi baudsful of the
common black-w ilnut leaves are put in
a vessel of water ill night, and next,
morning boiled for lifteen or twenty
minutes; then when cold take a sponge
or rag and moisten the eyes, neck, legs,
etc., of a horse, the dies will give those
places a wide berth. This may not be
true but it will not cost much to try it.
It is said also that if carbolic acid soap
is rubbed on the neck and legs of a
horse, he will not be bothered by Hies.
The strong odorol the soap drives thest
miserable horse tormenters away ; and
besides, the soap gives the animal's
coat a tine polish. Jake a dry cake of
soap, and rub on after grooming.
Cows when they expend vitality in

How Some Hone* Were Colored.
A Hartford young man boarded a
horse car the other day with a bunch
of roses. One was white, one green
and one of a delicate flesh-clored tint.
These flowers attracted the attention
of the passengers, both ladies and geu
tlemen. One lady remarked that she
had seen the buds of the green rose
and another said she had seen the rose
Itself, but had never seen any so per
fect and so lovely as this one. The
flesh-colored one was also commented
upon and praised. Finally the young
man volunteerd the information that
the coloring was done by putting the
stem of one into green ink, and the
other into red ink. Although the
leaves were beautifully colored, the
coloring would not rub off. It only re
quired ten minutes to change the color.

from clean, sound fruit and the fruit
should therefore be carefully examined
and whip before grinding, in the
press use haircloth or gunny in place
|of straw. As the older runs from the
press let It pass through a hair sieve
into a large open vessel that will hold
as much juice as can be expressed
in one day. In one day, or sometimes
less, the pom Ice will raise to the top
and in a short time grow very tlilck.
When little white bubbles break
through it draw off the liquid through
a very smull spigot, placed about three
inches from the bottom, so that the less
may be left behind. Tne cider must he
drawn off into very clean, sweet casks
preferably fresh liquor casks, and
vlosely watched. Tne moment the
white bubbles, before mentioned, are
perceived rising at the buughoie, rack
it again. It is usually unnecessary to
repeat this three limes. Then tiil up
ttie cask with cider in every raspeotlike
that originully contained iu it; add a
tumbler of warm sweat oil, and bung
uptight. For very tine cider it is custo
in u y to add at tills stage of the process,
about half a pound of glucose (starch
sugar), or a smaller portion of white
sugar. The cask should then lie allow
ed to remain la a cool place until the
cider lets required the desired flavor. In
the meantime clean barrels for its re
ception should be prepared as fol
lows Some clean strips of rags are
dipped in melted sulphur, lighted and
burned in the bungliole, and the hung
laid loosely on the end of the rag so as
to retain the sulphur vapor within the
barrel. Then lie up half a pound of
mustard seed In u coarse muslin hag

with cider, and add about a quarter of
a pound of isinglass or line gelatine
dissolved in hot water. Tills is the old
fashioned way, and will keep eider in
the same condition as when it
went into the barrel, if kept in a cool
place, lor a year. Professional cider
makers are using calcium sulphite
(sulphide ol liuie), Instead of mustard
and sulphur vtpor; it is much more
convenient and effectual. To use it, it
is dimply requisite to add one-eighth to
one-quarter of an ounce of sulphite to

was sent for to examine a terrible dis
ease ol the knee-joint, resulting in
ulceration and extensive sloughing of
the bone and tissues. The man's life
had been despaired of by the previous
attendants. Amputation at the thigh
was promptly decided upon and skill
fully performed by Dr. Pierce, and as
after treatment to purify the blood and
prevent a recurrence of the malady the
doctor's Golden Medical Discovery was
freely prescribed. The man's system
was thoroughly purified and strength
ened, he rapidly gained his health, the
stump healing nicely, and he is to-day
a happy man. This case was among
the first in which this wonderful blood
purifier was tested. Jt has since mani
fested its wonderlul power over the

WliMt Ho! Witliiu There!
Actors have hard times as well as
other folks, and the experience of I lie
talented Mr. Masher proves it. It
seems that he was playing in a piece in
Detroit, which required him, at a very
thrilling point, to pull a handkerchief
from the hip pocketof another actor and
present It to the heroine with some very
glowing words. The other actor, Mr.
& n, t£K> was somewhat addicted to the
use ol liqwor, and while he dressed lor
the performance he got too full and went
to sleep. Then some of the other actors
removed the hundkcrclwef from his
pocket, aud cutting a hole in the
pocket,drew a corner of Mr. Suigg's
shirt into It. It was a peculiarity of
Mr. Masher that when lie acted lie got
so dead in earnest that nothing could
stop him, and when it came to the
handkerchief scene, and he rushed up
to the only half awake .Snigg, lie grab
bed for the handkerchief and found it
didn't couie, but he fulled to notice the
situation, The piece couldn't go on till
lie produced the handkerchief, so h
gave another desperate tug. The only
result was that a wild look came in
Suigg's eve and he tried to whisper to
Masher that there was something
wrong. But Masher didn't understand,
ihe people were waiting for him; It
was uu awkward pause. Masher was
a man of great s'renght and lie gave a
last desperate tug at what lie believed
was tne handkerchief. It came, but
witli a sound of tearing, and Snigg was
yanked quite off his feet, and his
eyes nearly burst from their sockets
from the pressure on hi- throat, before
the neck band br >ke. Masher got most
of the garment except the sleeves, and
the sudden disappearance of Snlgg's
sh rt boson cr.-ated much excitement
in the audience. Even then, Masher
lidn't notice what he had done, and
rushing forward tendered the garment
:o the hero ne. But she screamed and
fainted and the audience began to yell,
and Snigg, having recovered his breath,
became terribly mad and made a rush
at Masher with a property sword and
chased ill in about, and the stage mana
ger, who was nearly wild, jumped in
and declared that M nher had disgraced
ins house, and then the curtain went
d >wrn, and a little while after the mana
ger came in front of it wic.li a black eve
and dismissed the audience. Snigg and
Masher now both want situations and
each other's gore.
In It ToHNlble
That a remedy made of such c mmon,
ample plants as Hops, Buchu, Man
drake, Dandelion. makes so many
ami such marvelous and wonderlul
cures as Hop Bitters do ? It must be. for
when old and young,rich and poor, Pas
tor and Doctor, Lawyer and Editor,all
te-tify to having been cured by them,
we must believe and doubt no longer.

I'atll'K lloint* in South Wales.
Patti lias fixed her country li mie in
Hreconsliiae, South Wales, where she
some time since bought a property
called Craigy-y nos Castle, and it is a
curious coincidence that Craigy Is said
to he mean, In the patois of night
ingale. The castle, an Elizabethan
structure, is finely placed on the slope
of a hill, and on its Improvement and
that of its grounds the great prima
d ni & has already t xpetided many thou
sand pounds, In this State, she could
not have purchased the property with
out naturalization, or a special act of
tlie Legislature, but England is more
liberal, and though she lias but little
land, It is free to all who please to pur
chase It. The castle is two hours'drive
from the Swansea Station, but a Vic
toria with four beautiful pet ponies,
soon carries visitors over the ground,
and there is talk of a railroad which
will give a station near the castle. A
visitor describes its mistress as singing
all over the house and garden. The
house is crammed with beautiful tilings
—oil*, rin* s to its mistress. Such are the
splendid place and exquisite china and
gias> used in the table service. At this
letreat the diva sumptuously entertains
her friends, and lately surprised them
with a splendid display of fireworks by
a London pyroteehuist, lighting up
vividly the woods and rocks of her love
ly domain. When the display ended,and
the moon emerged from the clouds,
there was a call for a song, and step
ping out on a tei race window, whither
a piano was wheeled, sue sang, amid a
silence broken only b7 the low purling
of a brook over the pebbles, "Home,
Sweet Home."
Au Old Doctor's Advice.
It was this: "Trust in God and keep
your bowels open." For this purpose
take Kidney-Wort—for no other remedy
so etiectuilly overcomes this condi
tion. and that without the distress and
griping which other medicines cause.

DO LIKEWISE."— Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of New Castle, Lincoln Co., Maine, savs: " Five rears ago I
was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles. Having exhausted the skill of three physicians, 1 was
complete!/ discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. 1 began taking
your 'Favorite Prescription' and using the local treatment recommended In your 'Common Sense
Medical Adviser.' 1 commenced to improve at once. In three months I was perfectly cured, and
have had no trouble since. I wrote a letter to iny family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had
been restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for tiiein and enclosing
a stamped envelope for reply. I have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have described
my case and the treatment nsed, and earnestly advised them to 'do likewise. 1 From a great many I
have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the u'e of Favorite Prescrip
tion, sent for the 'Medical Adviser,' and applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down
therein, ami were much better already." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is sold by ail druggists.
