STANLEY Hi AFRICA. Heard tYnm after a Vrr' Wllere—l|liln Ilia Way trow the Kaal - 1- ward and with as little loss as p. e. To render Stanley's position still mere deplorable his escort of 140 natives, whom he had engaged for the service at Nyangwe, refused to proceed further on the journey and deserted him. They were so overawed by the terrors of the forest and th continuous struggle that they believed destruction was certain to overtake the whole party, and prudently resolved not to he destroyed. Finding that his ranks were thinned by the de sertion of the Nyangwe men the hostile natives concentrated for a grand attack on Stanley, with the object of complete ly erusiiing hici. "* It became necessary, therefore, to organize a desperate re sistance, which was happily successful so far that it repulsed the savages for the time being and gave the explorer a chance to reconsider his plans and make arrangements to adapt them to his try ing situation. There was only one way to escape from the hapless position in which Stan lev now found himself, unless he ac cepted the alternative of returning to Nyangwe and abandoning the grand work which he had undertaken. This was to make oae of canoes. With the Lady Alice aa a last reliance, and good canoes for the party, Stanley concluded that he could advance with a better pros pect of success than in any other way. Although he had a decided advantage over the savages on the water Stanley still found that each day's advance was bat a repetition of the straggle of the day previous. It was desperate fighting all the time while pushing down the river with might and main. Fortunately it was still the rifle against the bow, bat then the bow was covered by the dense woods and the rifle was exposed in the open canoe. In the midst of these suc cessive struggles Stanley's journey on the river was interrupted by a series of great cataracts, not far apart from each other and just north and south of the equator. To pass these obstacles he had to cut his way through over thirteen miles of dense forest and drag his eigh teen canoes and the exploring boat Lady Alice overland. This enormous labor entailed the most exhausting efforts, and the men had frequently to abandon the ax and drag-ropes for their rifles to de fend themselves against the continuous assaults of the hostile natives. After passing the cataracts Stanley and his party had a long breathing iiau.se from the toil of dragging their boata through the forest. They were also comparatively secure from attack and took measures to recruit their exhausted strength before again encountering the dangers of the journey westward. Although fighting his way continuously Stanley did not neglect the objects of his journey, and found opportunity to note all the interesting changes "and physical characteristics of the route. In order to avoid the struggles with the tribes of desperate cannibals that in habited the mainland on each side of the river, Stanley's canoe fleet, led by the Lady Alice, paddled along between the islands, taking advantage of the cover they afforded as a protection from at tack In this way many miles down the stream were made by the expedition un molested by the natives. But this safety from attack was purchased by much suffering. Cut off from supplies in the middle of the great river, starvation threatened to destroy the expedition. The most extreme hunger was endured by the party, which passed three entire days absolutely without any food. This terrible atate of tilings ootild not be any longer endured, so Stanley resolved to meet his fate on the mainland rather than by hunger on the river. He there fore turned his course to the left bank of the Lualaba, and, with the singular good fortune that has generally attended him, reached the village of a tribe ac quainted with trade. These people liad four muskets which they obtained from the west coast. They represent, in a de gree, the advance guard of civilization toward the interior of the continent. They called the great river Iknta Ya Congo. With these friendly natives Stanley and his party made" " blood brotherhood " and purchased from them an abundance of provisions, which were sorely needed by the famished exploring party. Alter a brief rest Stanley endeavored to continue his course along the left bank of th e river. Bat throe days after his departure from the village of the friendly natives he came to the country of a powerful tribe, whose warriors were nrmed with muskets. Here for the first time sinoe leaving Nyangwe Stanley had to contend against an enemy on almost an equal footing as to arms." He, there fore, prepared his party for a struggle the issue of which was aeeidely doubtful. No sooner did these natives discover the approach of Stanley's expedition than they manned fifty-four large canoes and fut off from the river bank to attack it. t was not until after three of bis men were killed that Stanley desisted in his efforts to make the natives understand that he add his party were friends. He cried out to them to that effect and ot tered them clothes as peace gifts. But the savages refused to be conciliated. and the fight-proceeded with unabated fnry. For twelve miles down the strug : gle went on, and it proved to be the greatest anil most desperate tight on this 1 terrible river. It WHS maintained by Stanley's followers with gmit courage, and was the last save one of thirty-two battles fought since the ex|>editton hod left. Nyangwe. 1 Stanley s losses during the long and terrible journey across t..e continent from Nyangwe have been very severe. The continuous fighting in the forest* and on the river reduced the strength of the expedition daily until it Iv-eame a question whether any of its members would ever reach the \>ust. Stanley states in his dispatch: "My grief ia still new over the loss of my last white assistant, the brave and pious young Englishman, Francis who was swept over the falls of the Mnssnssa on the thin! of last June." He adds: "My faithful companion, Kalulu, is also among the lost," On the saiui' day that Pooock was lost Stanley, with seven men, -werealmost drawn into the whirlpools of the Mowa Falts, and six weeks later himself, with the entire crew of the Lady Alice, were swept over the furious fall* Of Muelo, whence only by a miracle I they escaped. Where Lightning Strike*. To reassure the tiiuid and nervous some calculations and directions for so entity, which, from the frequent invur rence and unusual severity of thunder storma, might not Ih unacceptable to sonic, ore given. There are seventy thousand chances to one against an individual'* te uig killed in this way in the whole year. Hut as there are perhaps teu of tlieae storm* in a' season, the chance* of Wing killed are as 700,000 to one in any one atoriu. At the worst, there seems to be a half a milium chances agama: a timid lady a having her terrors realized, according to the doc trine of chances. If she lies down in her fright, a* she is likely to do, ou either a feather bed or hair mattress, these chances in her favor are multiplied to at least a million. Another consolation is that she has little to apprehend from a flash of light ning which alie has leisure to see. As light travels 227,2(50 miles in a aeooud, and lightning only 1,142 feet in the tame time, you mav easily compute the dis tance of the electric discharge. If 4.62 seconds or six beats of the pulse elapse between the liglituing and the thunder, the discharge is a mile off. To guard against possible danger oil its near approach you may insulate your led or chair by putting their legs ou glass. Feathers and hair afford great security. There is also leas danger after the rain lias begun to fall copiously than lefore, because a moist atmosphere serves as a conductor for the electric ffuid, diffusing it and conveying it to the earth. A man who is wet, being a better con ductor than a tree which cannot be so thoroughly wetted, ought not to stand under one, and animals, on account of their bodies, are always better conduc tors than trees. Hut though wrong to stand near a tree, Toll will be very safe a little beyond the extent of its branches —a position which ought to be chosen, as the higher object will take the light ning first—or vou might stand oudrv wood, wool or silk. The middle of a room is safer than near a partition, aud this than near an exterior walk A building is a better protection than a tree ; bat a barn or sta ble containing wet grain or hay is worse than an open field. Sitting on horseback or in a carriage is dangerous.— IForcea- Irr Gazette. Differences in People. There is a vast difference in people. However moralists and metaphysicians may class tliem, there are opposite points among the most similar which are broad contrasts—sweet and sour, winter and summer—or any other pro • verbial antithesis. To some folks the leaves of a forest are all alike, and a school full of boys presents only so many fao-similies of each other. Such person ages regard all mankind as so many bi peds ; of the difference between them they are scarcely conscious. Some people soothe one like a strain of mnsic, while others agitate every nerve with the irritating power of a dis cord. How much might be said about the difference of people in their charac ters and actious. There are those who turn pale at the sight of cheese, and oth ers who shndder at the mention of car rots ; this one prefers hard eggs to soft, and that one does not like buckwheat cakes. These marks by which some of our race are distinguished from the rest, ' are but few of those which crowd the mind. There are people who actually detest children ; these who never have a moment to spare and those who don't know heir to get through the day. Your touchy people who are always pricking up their ears to catch the first faint sound of an insult, and your people without humor who can never either furnish a joke or understand one. There are two causes of the great difference perceptible in people. Much may cer tainly be ascrilied to education, but much also too institutional dissimilarity. Here is one on whom good music acts like enchantment; he cannot sit still while hearing it; his eyes fill with tears: he forgets all his troubles, and when the tune has ceased it is still in his mind, bursting out at intervals in fragments and exclamations, and keeping him awake in the night by its busy mental repetitions. Who shail say that his na ture is the same as that of "another who finds in the Italian orchestra only a dis agreeable scraping, whose lips" cannot hum, whose imagination cannot contain a tune ? And thus on through life and in every day intercourse if we but ob sereve a litte carefully, we will scarcely ever find two people alik?—even those pursuing the same avocations and united by the closest ties, are oftentimes the most dissimilar in their natures." A Russian General. The Plevna correspondent of the Lon don Time* writes : Major General Bcol>- eloff is a character—one of the most striking men I have ever met; he is a son of Lieutenaut-General Scobeloff, of the Russian army, ami has been in every campaign the Russians have had mince he was old enough to enter the field. In Khokaud, where everything was considered in a critical state, young Scobeloff was left to cover the rear of the army with five battalions and twenty gtuis. His elders in rank and years had selected him to bear the disgrace of the expected catastrophe; but he did not fancy this situation of affairs, attacked the enemy (numbering forty battalions) m the night, threw them into a panic, and utterly routed them, remaining mas ter of the province. For this he was made a major-general at thirty-one, and became the object of much envy and calumny at the hands of the officers whose heads he had passed over. At the recent battle of Plevna he had his brigade of Cossacks and a battalion of infantry, the latter numbering aliout seven hundted men. Three hundred and forty of this battalion fell in the des perate contest, one hundred and seventy of them being killed outright; unsup ported the remnAnt were compelled to fall back, but they retreated in good or der, bringing away all the wounded, and actually, left the deadly line of battle singing one of their wild but very melodi ous mountain airs. A major-general, thir ty-three years of age, tall and handsome, Scobeloff is the ideal of a benu tabreur of the old Mtirat type. Brave almost to recklessness, yet possessing a certain shrewd aptitude for estimating chances and the strength of position. He will make his mark in this cam paign should his carelessness of personal danger not-bring him before some fata! bullet—he has already been wounded six times during his career. Having been appointed to the staff of the com mander of the Plevna army, he was on the way to the camp of his cavalry brig ade to turn over the command to his What makes a man feel nobler, braver, happier, more independent and stayed up, as it were, ate he walks along the streets of a strange city, than to feel himself flanked with a good-sized reil or two of bank bills resting snugly and affectionately up against his physical corporoaityf OltKbON lIILL Some Paris Aboni ■ Viitr.l a.-nul anil llnaivr. William Bpence, at tan Oregon llill, is In many reapcot* a remarkable num. In stature he is almut five feel nine inches. His comproMm*! lips and well set jaws indicate a determined will. His uose is well *hn|ted; Ins eyes are grav, but full of animation, iud mors especially when interested in conversation, and Ins fore head is high and well ahaped. With those features he has long flowing black hair. The whole permtnnet of the man ia pleasing, mid in marked contrast with his reckless during. He converses intel ligently, and after the fashion of well educated men. As a hunter, trapper Indian fighter, marksman and wanderer he is justly notes!. He ha* been for nlsmt eight weeks, and is still, confined to Ins I**l, in this city, from a cut ou one of hi* feet. He is, however, cou valeacciit. His birth place is l'ort Natal, South Africa, aud he has hardly yet reached, fortv. His father having been killed in battle, his widow, with her son William, the subject of this sketch, immigrated to England, where, through the influ ence of friends, he soon was pU**l at the Royal Naval School at Greenwich, where his progress was satisfactory; but he could uot bo contented. Hi* daring and adventurous nature sought the son, and to a man-of-war he went. He was at sea for years, and during the time : distinguished himself for his bravery iu two eugaguuienta with pirates on the coast of Africa. He porticipit*ted with credit to himself in the last war with Kussia, and was present at the fall of Halaktava. Becoming averse to beiug further on the sea lie came to America and joitieil tlie Hudson Hnv Fur Com pany. For tins company he travelled much among the Indians, gathering peltrv. Tlie year 1860 found him in Portland, Oregon; fr*un thence he went U> St. Paul, Mum.; here he remained one winter and wit* employed during that time by tleueral Solly in a service that was at once delicate ntnl reapouaible, which he discharged to the entire satis f act ion of his commander. From St. Paul he went to Kansas, and there al ternately engaged in driving teams an.l bnffiiio hunting. From 1860 to 1 865 he was an Iffflinu fighter ou the frontier* of Kansas aud Texas, and in an engagement with the ml men on an occasion in which the whites were victorious, after a bloody hand to hand fight, he is said to have kilhvl seven warrmrs with his pistol and bowie knife. During this period he spent some time in Missouri, aud was at Independence during tleueral Price's raid. lu 1872 he went East, attracting much attention, hut exploits having pre ceded him. Hi-* companion* were W. F. Cody, kuowu a* Hnffalo Bill, and J. B. Oiuahundra, alia* Texas Jack. In 1873 he was the bearer of important dis patches to General Harris, in Cuba, which he safely delivered. Returning, he came West, where he has since Invn engaged in trapping, hunting and acting as guide for foreign tourists. As an evidence of the man's wonderful accuracy in shooting, and it must be said also of recklessness, I will give two remarkable instances : In Portland, Oregon, he hod a friend, John O'Madigan, now of this city. While O'Modigou was walking along the street smoking his pipe, and at a distance of teu feet, and at about a right angle. Bill suddenly drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking the pipe from the mouth of hi* friend, but doing htm no harm. Again, last fall. Hill was iu liake City with deer for sale, and seeing his old friend O'Madigan passing up the same street, on the opposite aide, he called to him to stop. When he hat! drawn his revolver John did so, facing hitu at the time. Bill fired, aud the ball }>A**ed thro.igh the top of the hat of his friend. O'Madigan, iu the best of humor, called out: " Bill, don't shoot any more; it is too cleae." The history of this remarkable man will at some future timefilloneof the most imp 'riant chapter* in a book of romance.— Denver Tribune. A Governor'* Gratitude. Probably the oddest genius who ever occupied a public position iu Missouri was the late Robert M. Stewart He lived in St Joseph, where he rose in po litical power.' The first president of the Haunioal and St. Joseph Railroad, he was called its father. Ho was elected governor in 1857. When Doniphan's expedition was organized to go through New Mexico and co-operate with the main United States army in 1847, Bob Stewart was a member of a company raised in Buchan an county. Four days out his gnu was accidentally discharged, the contents entering one of his legs, shattering a bone and disabling him. One of the company, William Grover, was detailed to remain with Stewart. Grover watched over his friend with thecareof a brother, •vnd Stewart, not then dreaming of his future distinction, said : "Bill, old fel low, I'll pay yon back some day ! The time will come!" Ten years later Bill Grover, the friend of Stewart was arrested as a participant in a political crime, tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. Not long after his conviction, Stewart was nominated for governor. He saw his friend just before he was incar cerated, and said: " Bill, the first thing I do after I'm inaugurated will lie to pardon you out. And I'm sure to be elected." • Bob was elected and inaugurated. True to his word and the native instincts of gratitude, he went to the penitentiary and inquired for Bill Grover. He was not there. He was one of detail called out to dig a well in Jefferson City, and was then engage*! in that work. Off the governor posted to the well in which Grover was at work. On reach ing the place, he leaned over the well and cried oat: " Bill, are you there !" '' Who's that?" asked a voice from the snbterraneau deeps lieiow. " It's me—Bob Stewart! Come up out o' there ! I've pardoned yon." In a few minutes Grover was hauled up out of the well. Then was exhibited the curious spec tar! • of the governor of a great State walking through the streets of the capital arm-in-arm with a stripe suited convict. He took his old friend up to a clothing store rigged him out in a new suit, and made him a guest at the governor's matiHiou, afterward providing for him a start in business. A Bold Exploit. Tin* following is from the diary of the late Mr. Adolpnus, the barrister and his torian: " May 8, 1840 : We had adiuner party, among them Mrs. Matthews and Cumui, who told sn amusing story of an agent to a noblemnu in Ireland. It was known to some ruflians in the neighbor hood that he had collected a large sum for rents due to his emplover. In the middle of the uight he heard thieves breaking into his house. He jumiMxi out of bed, and arming himself with a carving knife stood behind the door, and closed it, so that only one oould enter at a time, which one would be shown in the moonlight while he remained in the shade. Four of tisn thieves entered, and were dispatched one after another, those without not knowing what hail happened. The fifth saw the gleam of the blade in the moonlight, seized the man, and a tremendous scuffle ensued. The agent struck several blows with his weapon, but made no impression. He was grit down and his antagonist over him, when feeling the knife, lie found the point was bent. He bad the presence of mind to press it strongly against the floor, so us to turn it back, stabbed his adversary dead, ami, as he was alone in the house and could have no assistance till the morning, retired to bed. He wua knighted for the exploit. Some one said to him: ' I wonder you could go to bed while there were on the floor the corpses of five persons whom you hod killed?' His answer was: Itiiidmake me very uneasy; I oould not get a wink of sleep for nearly an hour!' " Three and a half pounds of milk are equal to one pound of meat; and only estimate a cow to give 4,000 pounds of milk in a year, this would moke the cow's product in milk equal in food value to 1,000 pounds of meat, and this I,§oo pounds of meat would require a steer, under ordinary feeding, lour years to produce, so that the cow produces much return from her food in one year as a steer in four.

Population of Asia anil Africa. The eutire population of Asia in larger l>y about twenty-five million* than the estimate given in last year's issue of Hehm ami Wagner's work. Tlie increase mainly falls upon the East India inlands and Anam, the llgnres in the cane of the hitter being more than double those given in the tables ot last year—viz.: 21,000,000.

A stranger would give one of the lords a nickel. The bird w .nild then hop off to a basket near b_v, ami pick up a little envelope in lus hill ami carry it to the customer. Gen. Gordon hammed the wisest-looking canary he could set* it nickel, and awaited the result. The bird returned with an etivelojie, which the senator opened. It announced thst the senator " talked bat much, had five children, and would live to lie eighty-six years of sge." Col. Alston determine*] to hare his fortune told. The tirst clause was this : " Yoo iuvitc too many people to your hoose ; many of Unsn* you invite are not your friends." The printed slip went on to recite thst the colonel would in a short time receive a large aum of money as an inheritance, and that it would lie the basis on which he would build a definite prosperity. He folded the scrap of paper IU his isickrt and went to Willkrd'a, where he met Judge Lochrane. On showing the )>aper to this gentleman, he wns interrupted hy the exclamation : " Why, my dear sir, your fortune is al ready left yon. I onw this very day, in a nevrspajier, that Jolui E. Alston, of lirvHiklyu, had duxl, ami had left a for tune of about stklll,l>UU to lie divided among his heirs and relatives in tin- South." A dav or two afterward At torney-General Ib-venn asked him if he was any kin to John 11 Alston, of Ilrooklvu,remarking that tliat gentleman hiu 1 left a large fortune to lie'dividiwl among his family. Col. Alston replied that lie was not a<> lucky, ami aration must have Iveen quite painful to him. l>ra. Picot and Msyuard and au assistant tierformcd the operation. Around the lied weie gathered six or eight Irish boys, from eight to fifteeu years of age, from whose arms had lieen taken, or was to be tak en, the skin needed to replace that which was lost. As each was calhxl on by the doctor, he came forward, and I wring his arm, s small piece of skin was skilfully cut out with the lancet and gently placed nj*m the raw flesli. About thirty pieces in all were so put on. Sev eral of the bora gave up more than one piece, and Folger Picot, the doctor's sou, contributed eight piece*. A young er brother of llatutfiii's gave nearly as many. While the ope rati u was going on the Isiys joked among themselves on helping to make up lianaflu, and ban tered caeh other on the number of times they hail submitted to be cut into for ' the"benefit of their plavmate. Ttie boys were generallv very willing to give the skin required, but after a while they evidently lx-giut to tluuk enough was ns good as a feast, and they moved out doors, watching further operations through the window. It is thought, however, that enough will conseut to give skin, so that Hanafln's wound will Im> entirely covered over, thus hastening his recovery, and adding to his comfort when the wound shall have healed.—Au burn (*V. >'.) Advrrtticr. A ltcmoniac Procession. A correspondent of the Loudon frnei at Itagusa writes : I have just returned here from Trebinge. While there I was sitting conversing with the English surgeou attached to ttie hospital, when he ''served : " There is not much to tie sei-u .ii this place, but fortunately to--lay I am able to show vou a sight you never see in Eugland. Come along and lot us have a look." We started for the Hazoar, a short distance off. At the end of the principal street we encountered a procession of 150 children, none of them over twelve years of age. The two in front earretl what seemed like two standards of some sort, but which, on a nearer approach, turned out to be two human heads stuck on pole* altont a yard aud a half long. One was the head of a man in the prime of life, apparently about thirty-three years of age, with a black mustache and it I ward of some weeks' growth. His head was shaved after the manner of the Itosniaks, with the exception of a long tuft oti the crown. The other was a mail much older, about fifty-five years of age. His face was thin and clean shaved, his head was also shavisl save the same long tuft which filiated in the wind. Kontul tliis ghostlv sight tlie children itaiicetl and yellesi like demon*. After thev had paraded all the street tliev stn k liiem on a wall opposite the pasha s residence and subjected them to every species of insult, each boy advancing in turn ami spitting on the heads and then hurling some mud. They retired utter ing horrid blasphemies. Duriug this time the street was thronged with sol diers, and I saw many officers looking on with evideut pleasure. On expressing niv disgust to tny companion he said : "It was uothing; such Mights were rather common in Trebinge." In the Jaws of an Alligator. At Lake diaries, in tlie parish of Cal casieu, La., a few days since, a most ex citing scene was witnessed by a number of people on the shore. Home lads, among whom was a ta>y named William Haskell, were in bnthing, when the attention of all was attracted to the ones of the tatter, and an alligator wan seen swimming in the direction of him. Tlie little boy not perceiving the approach of the saurian, dived, and jnst as he reached the surface the open jaws r< ecived him. The alligator drove his teeth almost through the Imy's skull, making several wounds in the scalp three inches in length. The boy's comrades rushed into tho water anil legon a loud outcry, when the alligator let go his hold and disap peared. The little fellow, although seriously injured, will probably live. The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning: star makes in rising. All great development# com plete themselves in the world and mtxleatly wait in alienee, praising them selves never, announcing themselves not at all.
