When Ingeraell arrives at the capital the first thing he docs after breakfast and a shave is te make for Senater Cullem's coin cein coin mittce room. He sits around for half an hour or se, smoking a murderous look ing cigar, telling and listening te geed stories, his rosy, boyish face full of geed humor, and occasionally breaking into ringing peals of laughter that can be heard by the passers lay in the outalde corridors. Then Jee Cannen drops in.

Senater Cullem's family is very promi nent In'the society of Washington. His daughter, who was recently married, is a tall, finely formed girl, whose dancing Is the envy of a geed many of her sisters of the senatorial circle. His wife, a geed looking, gray haired woman, is a sister-in-law of Governer Oglesby, of Illinois. ' When Senater Cullem first opened Ids eyes and began te softly crew te him self, he found that he was in Wayne county, Ky., and that the date was No vember 2S, 1829. Defero he had had much chance te cxplore the mountains of Kentucky, however (as he was only a year old at the time). Ids father removed te Tare well county, Ills. In 1833 Senater Cullem egan te study law, and he prac ticed his profession until he was elected te the heuse of representatives, in 1803. Ha was previously and subsequently a naVnberef the Illinois legislature. He was elected governor of Illinois in 1870 and succeeded himself in 1880.

Weaver, whose attitude in the heuse of representatives regard ing the Oklahenta reservation has re cently attracted se much attention, has the reputation of being ene of the best informed men en parliamentary rules in the present congress. He is also a geed lawyer and a geed talker. He acquired his national reputation in 1880. when be was nominated for president by the Greenback party. In the election ne re ceived aDeut uou, ueu, 000 votes. Hewss, befere his presi dential nomina tion, a member of the Forty -sixth congress. Gen.

WEAVEn in 1889. from the law school of the Ohie university at Cincinnati in 1851 In 1801 he enlisted as a private in the Second Iowa infantry, and was elected first lieutenant of Company O of that regiment. He was promoted te the rank of major en Oct 8, 1609, and com missioned colonel Oct 19, 1803,the colonel and lieutenant colonel having both been killed at the battle of Corinth. He was brevetted brigadier general of volunteers "for gallantry en the field," te date from March 13, 1864. Gen. Weaver is ene of the editors of The Iowa Tri Tri bune, published at Des Moines.

Uganda Is a great native African empire. In that territory are the sources of the Nile. Victeria and Albert lake float the fleets of a by no means con cen con temptible monarch, and its former king, Mtesa, was a great friend of Stanley in his first expedition. Frem the mouths of its statesmen and warriors Stanley heard the history of this im- THE CUTTAI. Or VQAXDX. pertent empire, and has given that and the main facts about the country in fascinating detail. The peeple of Uganda proper are a very superior race of Africans. They are net at all like the typical negrees of the west coast and the south. They are tall and finely formed, have. geed heads and straight neses, wear geed clothes of cotton cloth, manu facture many articles of use and beauty and are brave and skillful in war. And by steady conquest for three generations they have established an empire cover ing some 70,000 square miles and con taining near 8,000,000 people. The Ugandas are the ruling race; the Wasega and many ether tribes are subject te them. - Buna, father of Mtesa, was of the third generation of conquering kings, and from his lest expedition against the Wasega he returned with 6,000 female captives and 8,000 children. Net many men are token alive in these African wars. The Uganda historians told Stanley of a line of tltirty-flve sovereigns, the lest three of whom hed extended their rule till they became emperors instead of kings. They also told of a wonderful missionary, fairer of f ace than themselves, who long age visited and taught them many valua ble truths; but their accounts were of such a nature that Stanley set down the story as of a kind with the legends of Man6e Capoe in Peru, Kadmus in Greece, and the first great warrior among the Aztecs. In snort, it was a sort of incarnation of the progress of the peeple and the empire. Rubuga, the new capital of the em pieo (of which a sketch is here presented), where Stanley was royally entertained by Mtesa, Is en the summit of a knell from which the slopes in all directions are thick set with bananas, sugar cane and plantains. Here Mtesa held his royal court and gave audience te offi cials and ambassadors in a straw cov ered liall, 00 feet long, 18 feet wlde and S5 feet high. It had been the intention pf Suna that his warlike son Kajumba should Buccced him; but the chiefs, dreading the latter's furious temper, deposed him and enthroned Mtesa, who was supposed te be of a milder temper. Once firm in power, howevcr, he slew all his brothers and the most pretentious of the chiefs, te previde against a disputed succession. Boen af ter he was converted te Mohammedanism by the Arab missionary Muley bin Salim, and as this caused him te abstain from all Intoxicants he became much mero humane He confided te Stanley, hewever, that he was net altogether satisfied with his new religion, and under the latter's Instructions he was nominally converted te Christianity. All this tlme the Mehammedans were Sushing their conquests, and after the oath of Mtesa there was a great schism in Uganda. Mwanga, the emperor, be gan by being ill tempered, and finally beceme ferocious; distrusting his body guard, he tried te have them massacred, when they turned en him and made Klwewa emperor. The latter at ence adopted the policy of Mtesa. appointed Christians te the principal offices and de sired te establish trade and friendly rela tions with the white men. On this the Mehammedans, stirred up by the Arabs, revolted, slew man? of the Christians and compelled all the missionaries te fly from the country. Such are the incidents of this curious war of races and religions in equatorial Africa, Islamism ana Christ tianity contending for the trade and the souls of the blacks. Stenloy thinks the Uganda region as fertlloasanyen earth. The peeple say, "We live In a land of wine and butter, milk and fullness," and their appearance proves it They are cleanly and modest, have considerable skill and industry enough for their needs, and with peaco peace ful intercourse the trade of the empire would be very valuable But the gov ernment is thoroughly despotic, depend ing entirely en the character of the monarch, and just at present the Arabs appear te have the upper hand.

FATHER ALESSANDRO QAVAZZI. Bit Death, Lately Announced, Closed an Uvcntful Life. The recent death of Father Alessandre Gavazzl brings back vividly the events of Italian history for the last forty years. Gavazzl was born in 1809 the year of Abraham Lincoln's birth at Bologna, which was then a city In the papal states. He entered n monastery when he was but IS years of age, and at SI was professor of rhetoric in Naples, and shortly after held the chair of belles lettres at Leghorn. He began te speak in behalf of reform, and by Tils eloquence seen acquired be much power as te alarm Gregery XVI, then pepe, and Gavazzl was confined by the pontiff in a convent for a year. In 1818, when the Milaucse were struggling against Austrian oppression, and nowsef the Austrian defeat in Lombardy ceme te Reme, the students called en Gavazzl te deliver a funeral oration en the fallen patriots of the Pantheon. In this oration he did much te areuse the peeple te arms. Twenty-five thousand patriots volun teered te drive the Austrian from Italy. Oa vazzi held the rank of chaplain general, and was virtually leader of the army. He took part in sev eral battles, but his lorce was obliged te capitu- late at vicenza. al n ma eeet I A uuiuu milk aAVAZZL te Tuscany mid spoke se fervently in Florcnce that he waa expelled by the officers of the church from the city. They arrested him, but his popularity was se great that at Viterbe the peeple attacked his guard and liberated him. When Gari baldi's republic was proclaimed in 1810 Gavazzl went te Itoine and was appointed chaplain general of the army. Fer a tlme Garibaldi and Gavazzl held their own against France, Spain, Austria and Naples. Gen. Oudinet with 60,000 French troops was routed by the Italians, and then turning en the Ling of Naples they thrashed him se soundly that a Spanish force just landed did net dare te ap proach Reme. The Italiane were evc-. powered at last and Reuio fell. Gavazzl escaped te England, wheie he remained for ten years in exile. In Eugland the innn whose life has been se eventful took up the quiet life of a teacher of Italian. In 1651 he pub lished his memoirs. In 1852 he visited the United States and speke against the Reman hierarchy. He also speke in Canada, where he was mobbed.
