And again the knowledge that this is a little progrre- Nivo republic should enlist the sympa thies of the ceneral reader. The republic of the Orange Free State i- situated on the northeast boun dary of Cape Colony, and is bounded as follows: On the went and northwest by the territory clainieil for the chief, Nicholas Waterbuer, under the name of Griqualand West, and by Hotohuana laud, respectively, on the north and northeast by the Transvaal repnlvlio, oti the east by the cclonv of Nntal, and on the south by British Basutolaml, the Native lveserve Lauds, and the Cape Dolours! divisions of Albert and Coles burg. Its area is roughly taken to be about 70,000 square miles, but no accurate computation has hitherto l>een made, and the probability is that the actual extent will Iv louud considerably greater.

Settled by the Portuguese under Albuquerque in 1511. The Dutch oo cnpiod it and held it from 1641 to 1795. T: • English took it an. held it till 1818. It wax then restored t the Dutch. In 1824 it again became a British posses ion, Great Britain having exchanged Bcucooien ou the west coast of Sumatra. The exhibits of the settlements vary but little from each other —fibers, woods, the latter for ornamental and building purposes, nee, sugar and rum. The gT; at virtue in the exhibit is the care tak.-u in the flection, tho neatness of their arrangement, and the interest shown, an 1 the energy displayed by th- people at such remote distances in striking so boldly out into the competi tive field of international thought and practical effort. SEW EEALAXP. New Zealand forms a group of islands iu the south Pacific ocean belonging to Great Britain, extending from thirty four defines to thirty-two minutes south latitude to 166 degrees to 177 minutes east longitude. They consist mainly of two islands, separated at the nar rowest passage, twenty-five miles, by Cook's strait*. Length of tho whole group from north to south, 1,200 miles, with au area of 105,115 square miles. New Zealand WAS first discovered by Tasuiau in 1642, and upon this French geographers have called it i Tasmania, and on the fiag flying in the British section, where are to be seen the products of New Zealand, in large letters may be read Tasmania. Cook's visit i gave it prominence in 1769 and 1774. The first permanent settlement was made in 1815, when a missionary station was i established. In 1840 it was erected into i a colony subordinate to tho colony of i New South Wales, from which it was j separated in 1841 and plaoc 1 under it i i own independent governor. The his- ! torian speaks thus of tho New Zealand- < ers, seemingly iu a happy vein. " Tho ] meu are tall, strong and active ; the ) ] women often handsome; excepting ( cannibalism and infanticide, they have i ceased to uractioe the vices of their an- i castors. This reminds me of a vvyayeur 1 to Colorado, and who, like the enterpris i ing journalist from the West who went < to California on a free ticket, and had < to walk back 8,060 miles for the bene- 1 tit of his liver, becoming disgusb-d, i wrote to a friend, who requested his | opinion of the new El Dorado : *' Well, < if the water was not so bad, and the cli mate so wretched, and the society so in fernally disagreeable, Colorado would do for a settler." His friend ceuld but exclaim : "Topbet would be no worse." f Also as our school childre- study nearer * geographical positions, and this elimiua- ' tion of the peculiarities of the South ( seas may entertain them, I have written ( of many of their exhibits, and will add ' of the beautiful specimens of wool on ' exhibition. Tasmania exports 5,050,920 ! pounds. Handsome specimens in rugs ' of the skins of kangaroo, wallaby, and * bandicoot. There are 220 specimens of 1 beautiful plumaged birds in Tasmania. 1 Their native box and tonga bean wood ' specimens have a delightful odor ; they 1 are also serviceable in fancy work. Their 1 black wood makes a superior billiard 1 trble ; their wiute wood is superior for 1 engraving purposes. Their native f cherry makes gunstocks. ! Messrs. E. Mercier & Co., one of the j ' largest producers in champagne, who ' exhibit their w inc and complete appara- 1 tus for bottling it, have immense cellars, 1 165 teet deep, entered by railways, for | Jiaudling their large vintage, amounting ' yearly to 1,500,000 bottles. Mr. Al phonso Fuller, 3502 Race St., Philadel phia, their representative, has come over - especially to establish agencies for the 1 sale of their champagne. S. M.

At noon on Hal unlay, the fifteenth of July, says a letter to the New York Herald , the Fifth cnva'rv, under Gen. Merritt, were bivouacked on Rawhide creek, eightoeii miles from Fort l&rty of two scouts and six soldier* were breathlessly waiting. Half wav up was the general aud his staff. The lieutenant lay at the crest, watching the rapidly approaching foe. Down they came, u-arer aud nearer, the sun flashing from their brilliantly p&iuted IHHIIOS and their polished oma inent*. Then, just as they are dashing by the front of the hill, King shouts : •' Now, lads, in with you." With a rush aud yell the troopers are hurled upou the Indians' flank, not fifty yards awuv. I ten. Merritt springs up to seti the at tack just a* a tall Indian reeled iu his saddle, shot by Corporal Wilkinst u, of K company. Au answering bnllet whistled by the g. ueral's head, wlien King—still on watch—sung on' : " Here they come by the dozens." Tlie reserve ludiaus came swarming down from the ridge to the rescue. Com pan v K WHS instantly ordered to the front. But before it appeared from be hind the bluff the Indians, emboldened by the rush of their friends to the rescue, turned savagely on Buffalo Bill and the little party at the outpost. The latter sprung from their horses and met the daring charge with a volley. Yellow Hand, s young Cheyenne brave, came foremost singling Bill as a foe man worthy of his steel. Cody ooolly knelt, and, taking deliberate aim, sent his bul let through the chief's leg and into his horse's head. Down went the two, and, before his friends could reach him, a second shot from Bill's rifle laid the red skin low. On came the others, bent on annihilat ing the little baud that opposed them, when, to their auiar.cr.icDt, a long, bine line popped up in their very front, and K company, with Col. Mason at its head, dashed at them. Leaving their dead, the Cheyenne* scattered back, belter skelter, to the ridge, but toeir tire was wild and their stand a short one. Company after company debouched from behind the bluff, and, utterly disheartened, the Indians rushed for the reservation, leaving behind all their provisions. Get. Merritt pursued them till uight, when the whole com mand went into camp at the agency. The Ir dians left their dead, and admit having more wounded. They also lost six ponies. Their friends at "Red Cloud •say they never dreamed the Fiftli cavalry could get there in time to head them off. The regiment sustained no loss. Hani Times in England. Hard times! Hard times! Dullness, despondency, depression everywhere and iu all trades; thousands of houses in the West End shut up or for rent, fur nished or unfurnished; empty theaters; idle workmen; reduction of wages and shortening of hours in tho manufactur ing districts—this is whAt yon hear or see day after day in England, says a let ter writer. You in America can now sympathize wit jronr Euglish cousins, for they are beginning to suffer what you have so long endured. It is over trading and over-prodnctiou which have caused the trouble here. Tho mill owners in the north have for the moot part agreed to adopt short time; the mills are to bo run only thirty-eight hours per week—nine au I a half" hours cm Tuesday, W dnesday, Thursday aud Friday, and not at all on Saturday and Monday. This will diminish tho pro- i dnction by more than one-third, and it is hoped that thus the immense stocks which now overburden the market may bo worked off. The initiative in this ar rangement has been taken by the co operative or joint stock mills, and the other* were glad enough to follow suit. •Seme of the employers, however, have reduced the rate of wages as well as tho ! time, and this makes it very h*rd on the operatives. Why He Was Pardoned. A pardon recently extended by the governor of Virginia to Jonathan Otcy, ■ seutenced to three years' confinement in the State penitentiary for bigamy, re ; calls certain facts connected with his conviobon that illustrate how cruel the operation of the laws may sometimes lie. ; Otey, who is seventy-six years old, is re presented as au extremely iguorant man from one of the interior counties of the State. He was deserted by his wife and, alter the lapse of five years, being in formed by some of his neighbors that so long an abondonment operated as a divorce, ho contracted a second marrige, without taking the necessary legal steps j for annulling tho first, which he might readily havo done. His health has been so much broken that further confine ment would result in his death, and on those representations tho pardon has toeen granted. It is coupled, however, with tho provision that he may not live with bis second wife—so called—until he shall be remarried to her, after hav ing been law/ally divorced from the first. A REMEDY FOR CHOLERA INFAXTTTM. —Toast a half slice of stale bread very brown, break it a goblet and fill up with water; put in as much Aoda as you can hold on a three-cent piece; let the little one drink a little at a time. Jf the stomach is very irritable, give only a teaspoonful at a time. In some cases, with the advioe of a physician, says a correspondent, I have put in a teaspoon ful of paregoric in the gobletful. CHANGING THEIR HOMES.— The eight hundred Icelanders who have mude Manitoba their home will find the soil there more productive tlian that of their own barren island, which yields a scanty subsistence to less than 80,000 people. In the hot weather, however, they may long for their "old country," where ice water is never needed and sunstroke is unknown. Some three hundred more Icelanders follow the first lot.

With a powerful force ui fol lowers and the S}>earmen or native sol diers of I'gauda he made this interesting march ami encampt d his army on the shores of the Albert Ntyanxa. 1 Hiring his return to King Mlesa's capital, over the ri>cky and forest clad diviue, he t.uk care to explore the country thoroughly, scaling the rugged sides of Gawbaiaga ra ana noting the presence of the strange pale faced tribe thai lhhaluteil its lofty ridges ami uplands. by March do ol this year Stanley was exploring the val ley of the river Kageerm, which tlows into the Victoria Niynuxa from the southwest, noting and locating the minor laki s, mineral spnucsand other features of the topography of this hitherto uu kuowu region. After completing his map of the Victoria Niyanxa, Stanley commenced his southward mareh to L'jljl, on Lake Tanganyika, tho place where he was so fortuuate as to discover the long lost Livingstone. from this place, which ho exj>eotod to reach about fifteen days after the date of his last let ter —namely, tho twenty fourth of last April—the explorer intended to move up Lake Tanganyika to its most north erly point, and from theuoe cross the country to the southern extremity of the Albert Niyasza. The latter lake he in tends to examine thoroughly, and then, being fully acquainted with tho lake reservoirs of the Nile, he will proceed to the solution of the problem of the Lua laba, which Livingstone was pursuing when overtaken by death. As he had, at last accounts, health and men and re sources for ths accomplishment of this great task, we can only wish Stanley every success which bis daring and in telligence merit. H'ra'd. Hen. C'anbjN Murder by .Modccs, The death of Gen. Custer recalls ths terrible fate of his brother-in arms. Gen. Cauby, who was treacueronsly murdered by Captain Jack of the Modoc trilo of ludiaus, April 11, 1873, in the Lavu B-d camp, Siskiyou couutv, California. Gen. j Cauby had been iu command of thw department of Columbia, and during the six mouths previous to hi* aarassiaation hail lieen actively engaged in bringing the Modix*s to accept the terms of peace | offered them by the govern incut. Ou tho morung of April 10, five Indians ami four squaw* had dome into his cam p. and after r*eeiving presents of clothing and provisions from the peace commis sioners, one ef them was sent oat a* a messenger to the Indian camp, asking for a meetiug ou the following morning at a point about oue mile beyond tho picket lines. Early in the morning Boston Charley came iuto camp aud re ported that Cap bun Jack and five other Indians would meet the commission out side the lines. In ala-nt an hour Geu. Cantyr, Mr. Dyer, the Rev. Dr. Thomas and &r. Meaobara, with interpreters, started for the place of meeting, where they at once found the Indians. Speeches were mad* hv Mr. Meocham, Geu Can by, aud Dr. 'Thomas, after which Cap tain Jack asked for Hot Creek and Cot ton wood—place.i then already occupied —for a reservation. Mr. Meuehom told Jack that it was impossible to grant the request, whereupon Hohonclii'i admon ished Mr. Meachaui to say no more, and while Schonchiu was still speaking, Captain Jack walked hebiud the com pany, and npou exclaiming, " All ready !" drew a pistol and snapped a cap at Gen. Canby. Putting ou another cap he again fired, and Geu. Canby fell dead, shot under the eye. Scliouchin then fired upou Mr. Meocliam, and Boston Charley and another Indian shot and killed l)r. Thomas, Mr. Dyer was chased some distance, but succeeded iu reaching his camp. Gen. Canby was one of tho sevou gen erals iu tho army who then hold the brigadier rauk. Ho was an officer nni vorsally esteemed, and his me'ancholy fato awakened a general feeling of indig nation throughout tho entir country. Gen. Sherman, under directions of the President, at once forwarded orders to the camp to "make the attack BO strong and persistent that their (the Modoc*) fate may be commensurate with tln-ir crime. Yon will be justified in their utter extermination." There is Banger.

Hho was pale as a anow wreath, and Iw'tit her head gracefully as a water lily iu recognition id her numerous frteudn and admirers. " What a interilloe !" the latter tuur mured. "What a aaerifletv!" my heart echoed. Mr. JefTernou Jones was au oHMtiod old bachelor. He hait but oue idea tu his head, aud that was to make money. There was ouly oue thing he understood equally well and that was to keep it. He was angular, prim, cold ami precise ; mean, groveling, contemptible and cuu uiug.

It made mo shudder to thiuk of it! I felt as though his very gore were profs natmu. Well, the welding was over, and she was duly iiiHtalli d mistress of Jefferson House. She had tine dresses, flue furniture, a tiue equipage, ami the most stupid in cumbrance iu the shape of an old hus band. Hut Mr. Jefferson Jones was very proud of his bride : tirstly, because she added to his importance ; secondly, be cause he plumed himself not a little iu Ivearmg off so dainty a prize. It gave him a malicious pleasure to uieet her old admirers, withjhe graceful Kdith up on h>s arm. Of course she preferrtwi htm to them all—else, why did she marry him f Then how deferential nhu wav in her : anner since their marriage; how very jMihte, and how careful to jierform her duty to the letter! Mr. Jonea decided, with his umal acumen, that there wax no room to doubt ou that poiut ! He not toed, indeed. Unit her girlish li vely was gone ; brit that was a decided improvement, according to his view, she was Mrs. Jones now, and meant to keep all whiskered popinjays at a re pretahle dt-tanoe. He liked it! And so, through tuose interminable evenings, Edith - it, playing long garni s of chess with him, or listening to his gains or losses in the way of trade ; or reading ohticul articles of which the words conveyi-d uo ideas to her absent mind. She walked through the busy streets, lea ling on liis arm, with an unaeeu form ever a: her side; and slept next hia heart, when hers wus far away! Hut when she was alone—no hnmau eye to read her Mad secret, her small hands clasped in agony, and In r fair head bent t>> thu very dust—was he not a veuget! i It was a driving storm. Mr. Jones resolved to dine at n tavern instead of returning h>me. He had just seated himself, and giveu his order to the ol*cquioits waiter, when his attention was attracted by the conversation of two gentlemen near him. " Have you seen the beautiful Edith since her marriage, Harry t" " N'o; I feel too much vexed with her. Such * splendid woman to marry such an idiot! All for a foolish quarrel with Ainslie.

Ho was quite a* much no himself—even went HO far an to oompliment her on a coquettish little j eki t that fitted her round figure very charmingly. •' I'm thinking of taking a abort jour ney, Edith," naid he, seating himself by her aide, and playing with the silken cord and tamels about her waist. "As it is wholly a business trip, it would hamper me to take you with me; but von'll hear from me. Meanwhile, you know how to enjoy yourself—bey, Edith!" He looked senrchingly at her. There wa# no conscious blush, no change of expression, no tremor of tho frame. 110 might as w. 11 liavti addressed a marble statue. Mr. Jeffersou Jones was poscsl! Well, he bnvlo lier on of his characteristic adieus; and, when tho door closed, Edith felt as if a weight had been lifted off her heart. Titer t was but one course for i er to pursue. Hhe knew it—she luul already marked it nut. She would deny herself to all visitors; sh" would not go abroad tiii her hnslKtnd's return. Hbe was strong iti herpurpi sc. There should be no door left ojen for busy scandal to enter. Of Aiuslio she knew nothing, save that a letter reached her from him after her marriage, which she had returned unopened. And so she wandered restlessly through those splendid rooms, and, tried by tlu self-inflicted penance, to atone for the defection of her heart. Did she take her guitar, old Hongs that they hnd sung together came unbidden to her lips; that hook, too, they had read. Oh, it was all misery, turn where she would 1 Day after ilay passed—no letter from Mr. Jones. The time had already pans ed that was fixed upon for his r 'tnrn, aud Edith, nervous from close confine ment, aud the weary inward struggle, started like a frightened bird at every foot fail. It came at last—the letter—sealed with black. "He had been accidentally drowned. His hat was found; all search for the body had beeu unavailing." E bth was no hypocrite, She could not mourn for him, save iu the outward garb of woe. Atnslie was just starting for tho con tinent, by order of a physician, when tho news reached him. A brief tune ho gave to decorum, and fh"n they met. It is needless to sy what that moot ing was. Day* and mouths of wretched ness wore forgotten, like eomo dreadful dream. She was again his own Edith, sorrowing, roj.ent.iut and happy. Tin y were sitting together one avon ing— E litb's head was upon his shoul der, and her face radiaut at a seraph's. They were spcakiug of their future homo. "Any spot on the wide earth but this, dear Aiuslir. Take me away from those painful nswcations." "Say you so, pretty Edith!" said n well known voice. "I but tried. that faithful heart of yours to prove it. Pity to tnrn such a pretty comedy into a tragedy ; but I happen to bo manager here, young man !" said Mr. Jonea, turning florooly toward tlies Iwwildcred Ainalie. The revulsion wae too dread fill.
