It was a most pitiable -sight, though one that gladdened the heart of my men. Even the best natives liave little compassion for thersulTeringstef animals. Well, the rest was easy. The marsh that would net bear the elephants carried our weight well enough. Ucfore mid night all were dead, for we shot them by moonlight. I would "gladly have pared the young ones and seme of the cows, but te de se would only liave meant leaving them fas perish of hunger; it was kinder te kill Atem at once. The weanded bull I slew Vith my own hand, and I cannot say that I felt much com punctfen in doing se. He knew me again, and made tTdcgpcrate effort te get at me, but I am glad te say that the peat held him fast. The pan presented a curious sight when the sua rose next morning. Owing te the rapport given by the soil, none of the dcaa elephants had fallen; there they all steed as though they were asleep. . I sent back for the wagons, and when they arrived en the morrow, formed a camp, about a mile away from the pan. Then began the work of cutting out the elephants' tusks; it took ever a week, and for obvious reasons was a disgusting task. Indeed, had it net been Fer the help of some wandering bushmen, who took their pay in elephant meat, I de net think we could ever have managed it. At last it was done. The ivory was f or tee curabenome for us te carry, se we buried it, having first get rid of our bushmen allies. My boys wanted me te go back te the cape with it and sell it, but I was tee much bent en my jeurney te de this. The tusks lay burled for five years. Then I came and dug them tip; they were but llttle harmed. Ultimately I sold the ivory for something ever twelve hundred pounds net bad pay for one day's sheeting. This is hew I began my career as nn elephant hunter. I have shot many hundreds of them since, but have nevcr again attempted te de se en horseback. Ciinliniicil next Saturday.

That the great continent of North America, or rather both the continents, were discovered by AlberlceVespucclus, or, as he is better known, Americas Vespucclus, is.new an acknowledged fact. He waa an Italian gentleman of high education and adven adven tureus spirlt,whe at an early age resigned a remunerative commercial position in order te gratify his taste for travel and excitement. -Of his life we knew but little. It has teen feundi that in 1400 he was a student of high pvomire in Florence. In 1493 he came te Spain as a commercial representative of his cousin, Lorenze Pietre Francisce de Medici, whose family was world re nowned. Later en he entered the serv serv ice of the king of Portugal. THE TITLK PAOK. lie made at least four great transat lantic voyages during his career in Spain and Portugal. Of the -first two nothing is left but hearsay, excepting dates and names. n The first began May 20, 1407, or May 10, 1407, or May 20, 1400, and was un dertaken for the king of Spain. The second was started under the same auspices en or about May 10, 1407, from the pert of Cadiz. In these he probably discovered Cuba and the larger isles of the West Indies. His third, and the one en which his fame will ever rest, was undertaken for the king of Portugal, and started from Lisben en May 14, 1601. It consumed sixteen months, during which time Ves pucclus gathered a vast amount of in formation, and, it must be added, misin formation. Shortly after his return te Portugal he wrete the celebrated letter, of which portions are given below, nnd which has never before, been published in En glish. The original is lest. At the time he wrete it he had it translated from Italian, which he spoke, te Latin, the literary language of the world nt that time. Within a few weeks after Its re ception by Lorenze de Medici, it was given te Jehan Lambert, the greatest illuminator, engresser and printer of his age, for reproduction and preservation. Hew many copies were made is un known. There are two or three in this country, and less than a dozen in Europe. The finest one extant is that owned by Edmund A. Bennventure, a famous bibliephile of New Yerk city, from which the illustrations are taken. The leaves of the manuscript are of the heaviest parchment, and the colors are as brilliant today as when first applied by the brush. Anether hut much poorer copy, recently sold at Fratikfort-en-tho-Main, brought $300. I The book opens with nn illuminated title page in geld, ultramarine nnd scar let, of which the following picture may give a fair idea. ' i Then fellow nine pages of closely writ ten matter, in which the queer Latin of the Sixteenth century is made half unin telligible by senseless contractions, ab breviations and arbitrary symbols. The difficulty encountered in reading this old black letter cannot be appreciated by any ene unless he tries te decipher the pages, I At the clese of the letter is what is called a tail piece, a symbolic design which, while it may liave conveyed a clear idea te its maker, is mero than in in in cemprehensible today. Se far as the story is concerned let Alberice Vespuc clus speak for himself: In former days it was my fertune te write unto thee fully concerning my re turn from these regions which with the fleet, and by the suggestion and com mand of his most serene majesty the king of Portugal, we have sought out and discovered. These regions it is al lowable te style the New World. Since among our ancestors there was no knowl edge concerning these things, the matter will preve most novel te all who hear it. Fer this thing differs from the opinion of our antiquaries, since the greater part of them declare that beyond the equinoc tial line (dquater) and toward the south there is no continent, but n sea as large as that which they have termed the At lantic, and if any of them have admitted that a continent is there, they have de nied for many reasons that the land is habitable. But my last voyage lias shown that this opinion of theirs is false and altogether contrary te truth, since in theso parts towards the south I have found a continent inhabited with mero numerous peoples and animals than is Europe, Asia, or Africa, and moreover an atmosphere milder and mere agreeable than in any ether region known by us, as you will pcrceive later en, where we describe the chief points. The matters mero worthy of netice and memory which were seen or heard by me in this new world will appear below. On the 14th day of the month of May, in the year 1001, we departed from Lis Lis eon by the command of the king with three ships en an auspicious veyage In order te discover the new lands towards the west. We sailed towards the south, the course of which veyage was as fol fel fol eows: Our ceurse lay through the Fortunate Islands, as they were formerly called, but new are Btylcd the Great Canary Islands, which are in the third climate and en the confines of the inhabited west. Thence through tha ocean, we skirted the vvhole shere of Africa and a part of Ethiopia, as far as the Ethiopian promontory, as it Is callei by Ptolemy, but by us Cape Vcrde, and from Ethiopia and the Man dinghn land 14 deg. within the torrid zene from the equinoctial line (equator) toward the north, which region is inhabited by black races. There, our strength being refreshed, and with necessaries for our veyage, we raised anchor, spread our sails te the wind, and directing our ceurse through the vast ocean for a short dis tance toward the Antarctic pole, we then bent our ceurse te the westward through the wind which is called the Vulturnus (southeast wind), nnd fwm the day en which we departed from the above men tioned promontory we sailed for the space of two months nnd three days before any land appealed, but in the vestness of the sea what we Buffered, what perils of ship wreck, what torment ofbedy we gut- mind we labored, I leave te the Imagina tion of these who through experience of many affairs can best understand what it k te seek out uncertain things and investigate tilings of which they may be ignorant. That you may un derstand everything In a word, knew that out of sixty-seven days in which we sailed, wa had forty-four continuous days of rain, thunder and- lightning, days se dark that we could neither see the sun by day nor a scrcne sky at night Frem which it happened that se grcat.fear came upon us that we had al ready cast astde all hepe of life. But in these se many and se great tempests of the sea and of the sky, it pleased the Most High te show unto us the conti nent, the new regions, and the unknown world. Which things being seen we were filled with as great joy as it is pos sible te be conceived by theso who, out of various calamities and adverse fort une, have obtained safety. But en the 7th day tf August, in the year 1501, we cast anchor en the shores of theso re gions, giving thanks unto our Qed with solemn supplications and with the cele bration of a mass. There we recognized the land te be net an island, but a conti nent, because it stretched out with very long coasts net te be circumnavigated, and is filled up with numberless inhab itants. Fer en this continent we discov ered innumerable races and peoples, and all the species of forest animals which are found in our regions, and many ether species never seen by us before, concern ing which it would be a long story for . me te describe individually. . Many things the mercy of Ged sup plied unto us when we touched these regions, for water and weed had foiled us, and we were able te prescrve our lives en the sea only a few days mere. Te Himself be the honor and glory nnd the exercise of His ernce. We adopted the plan of sailing along the shere of this continent toward tha eastward, without leaving the sight of land, and afterwards we ran along this shore te a point where we came te an angle when the coast made a turn te the south, and from that place where we first touched land up te this angle there was a distance of about 300 leagues. In the space of this veyage w;e several times descended te the land nnd con cen vcrsedinn friendly manner with that people, as you shall hear below. I had forgotten te write that from the promontory at Cape Vcrde up te the commencement of this continent, there are about 700 leagues, and I should esti mate that we had sailed mero than 1,800 leagues, partly en account of the admi ral's ignorance of the place and partly by the tempests and winds, which im peded our direct ceurse and dreve us into frequent deviations. But if ifly com panions had net turned te me, who un derstood cosmography (there was no ad miral or commander of our veyage who knew within GOO leagues where we were), we were lest and wandering; moreover, the instruments only showed accurately the elevation of the heavenly bodies, and these were the quadrant and the astrola be, as all were aware. Hence afterwards they all bestowed upon me much honor; for I showed unto them that without n marine chart, in the sclcnce of naviga tion I was mere skillful than all the ad mirals in tha world. Fer these admirals have no knowledge except of these places which they have visited frequent ly in their voyages. THE TAIL PIECE. But where the abeve mentioned angle ofvthe land showed te us a turning of the shore toward the south, we agreed te sail beyond it, and search out what might be in theso regions. We pro ceeded along the coast about six hundred leagues, and often disembarked en the land and talked and conversed with the inhabitants of theso regions, and by them were received kindly, nnd by them selves, whenevcr we would remain fifteen or twenty days together, were amicably and hospitably entertained, as you will lcarh below. A part of this new continent is in the torrid zone, beyond the equinoctial line (equator) toward the antarctie pole, for the head of it begins in the eighth degree beyond the equinoctial line (equator) itself. We sailed along se much of this coast, that the tropie of Capricorn hav ing been passed, we found the antarctic pole 50 degs. higher than their horizon, and we were near te the antarctic circle, as far as the latitude of 171 degs., and what there I saw and learned concern ing the character, habits and tractability of theso races, the fertility of the soil, the salubrieusncss of the air, and the ar rangement of the heavenly bodies, and especially concerning the fixed stars, and the eight spheres never befere seen or considered by our ancestors, I will speak of later. First, then, as te the peoples se far as we came upon the multitude of the race in theso regions se great that no man could count them, as we read in the Apocalypse. I call the race gentle and tractable. All members of both races approach each ether naked and covering no part of the body, and even as they ceme into the world se de they go unto the time of their death. Fer they have large bodies with figures square and shoulders well proportioned, nnd a color bordering en redness, which I think happens te thorn because from going about naked they are tanned with the sun. They have thick, black hair. In their gait, especially in their sjierts, they are ngile nnd easy, nnd of a comely countenance, which, htiwevcr, they mar, for they pierce the cheeks, the lips, the nese nnd the car; nor would you think these holes te be small Dras large as they are. Fer I have seen seme of them who had in their face alone seven holes, any one of which was as large us a small plum. They step up these holes with pieces of crystal resembling marble nnd bits of alabaster, which pieces are very beautiful, and also with bits of glitter ing white bone 'and ether substances, skillfully carved according te their cus tom. But if you could see anything se stranga and monstrous a man, forsooth, having in his checks and in his lips seven stones, semn of them halt as long again as your hand, you would net Ite without astonishment; for oftentimes have I considered and thought that seven such stones would weigh sixteen ounces and mere. In each ear, pierced with three holes, they are accustomed te carry ether pendant stones In rings, and this custom Is peculiar te the men, for the women de net perforate the face, but only the ears. They de net have garments or cloaks linen or silk because they are net necessary te them, nor de they pes-ss individual property, but all things are owned in common. They live at the same time without n king, without a govern ment, and each man Is n law unto him self. They have as many wives as they please, nnd the son marries his mother, and the brother with his sister, and the first man the first woman wherever he meets her. As often as they wish they break up their marriages, and in these matters obscrve no rule. Moreover, they have no tcinple and no law, nor are they idolaters. What can I say mere? They live according te nature, and may be called epicureans rather than stoics, MJisnrliiii III! "Illi llnr IIIVliI I III H'i'll nnii...

Fer sometimes ene slde nnd sometimes the ether is vic torious, and cat up the vanquished, and among them human flesh is a common article of feed. Of this fact you may be certain, tie cause already a father has been known te cat up his sons and his wives, nnd I myself have known and talked with a man whom they used te report had par taken of mero than three hundred human bodies; besides I spent twenty-seven days in a certain town where I saw in the houses human flesh salted and hung from the ceiling, just ns it is the custom among us te hang bacon and perk. I say further, that they wonder why we don't cat our enemies, and de net use their flesh as feed, which flesh they de clare te be most savory, The limitation of space compels the cutting short of the letter at this point.

Specl.il Correspondence. Washington, Jan. 10. A pleasant theme Is friendships among great men. Early in the present century there was a notable meeting of kings nnd emperors nt Erfurlh, Pilncesand courtiers were numerous. The town was illuminated. A tragedy developing the noblest traits of human nature was icrfermcd by the most accomplished actors of France. Emperor Alexander of Itussla and Nao Nae Nao leen the Great sat side by side. As the sentiment was expressed from the stage: The friendship of a Creat nisn la a c'.t freuithf Red, Alexander gracefully rose, took the hand of Napeleon, and, liewlng, said: "I experience the truth of that senti ment today." An instinctive burst of QUAY AND VEST ENJOYINU UFK. applause from n pit full of princes, nobles and kings shook the walls of the theatre. Perhaps there Is no mere uni versal aspiration than that for the friend ship of ene of one's own station nnd sex. There have been but few men in the world he irreat as te Itunbove friendships. An euu pnase et friendship etten seen here is that between men who nre bittei political opponents. Oarlield nnd Ran Ran eolph Tucker were iiilimate associates. The closest friend Senater Edmunds evei had in congress was "Old Iteman" Thur man. Since Thurman left the scnate the ripe old Vcrmenter has honored none with an unfolding of his inner self. Ac unexpected pairing off in mutual friend ship is that of Vest nnd Quay. Thest senators, one tha well known Republican campaign manager and the ether ns in tense a Democrat as one could find in a CAMERON AND tlUTLEK IIAVINO FUN. day's jeurney, are very fend of each ether's society. They have some mutua.' tastes, and geed fellowship and geed stories abound wiicij they sit down te gethcr. There Is nobody in Washlugtec that ubuscs Quay the politician with n mera varied and vigorous vecabularj than Senater Vest, and nobody that BC well likes Quay the man. Many of the most earnest partisans in public life say they find that politics has net the slightest inllucnce upon theii choice of friends. The unsuspicious Mr. 1'ickwick was no mero surprised at the amiable relations existing between op posing counsel in the celebrated case el Bardell vs. Pickwick than some visitor! te congressional galleries are at the cvl deuce of p-.-senal fiiciidliness which they bcoen the fleer below. When Sen Sen aeor Voerhres inadohlsterillieoiislauglit en Dudley and the administration the ether day, the first man te congratulate him and te sit down beside him mid talk it all ever was Gen. Gresvener, the Re publican statesman from Ohie; who ia known for his resemblance te Santa Clans. Senators I'ayne and Sherman, of Ohie, are warm friends, mid there Is n great deal of intimacy between their families. Den Cameren's closest friend in the sen ate Is a Democrat. Butler, of Seuth Caro lina. Camel en and Butler lunch together, rlde together, and about once a year go hunting together in the famous duel: and snipe fields of the hitter's state. This friendship legan many years age, when Den Cameren's father, eid Simen, voted for Butler's admission te the senate. Speaker Carlisle and Maj. McKinley are much together. Each has slucvre ad miration for the ether. CaiMsle and a Republican congressman, Mr, Steele, once kept liouse together here. Carlisle mid that line old Kentucklaii, Willie Breckinridge, are a3 popular en the Ite pubiican si Je of the heuse us they ure en their own, whileMcKinley, Buttcrvrerth, Cannen, and Hendersen of Iowa are prime favorites among the Democrats. Te hear the Last named make n party speech you would net think him capable even of shaking hands with a member of the odious opjiesitioii. As a partisan Gcu. Hendersen is as intense as he isele- I euent as an orator, and that is eayini; SWim mWmmm mucii.

Gen. Hoeker, of Mississippi, counts hii Republican friends by the score. Anether instance of the crossing of tin bloody chasm is found in the fondness el Allisen for Beck. This line Republican and geed old Democrat contrive te ditto together about tw icea week, and te lunch together in the sennte restaurant nearly every day. A curlemi combination is that et Frye nnd German. It would be difficult te imagine two men farther apart in xiliticnl spheres nnd methods.

He Is charming in conver sation, and In cengcnl.il company casts off all reserve and engages In the sport of the occasion with gicat rest. He has never had much experience In politics, but is expert in executive work, and will, unless nil signs full, prove an efficient party manager, llu has great jxivver In the consolidation or big properties. If he lives twenty yeais longer, he will lie the richest man In the United Stntcs. His propel I iesnt present me supposed te lie worth $20,000,000. If they wcie sold out under the ham mer they would in all probability net bring mere than tlueoerfour million doling, but If Mr. Biice should hike nu olllce and devote five years te closing out his property he would have, no doubt, at least $20,000,000. He has railroad inter ests all ever the United Slates and In Canada, and he Is building considerable in the northwest and in New Mexico. Still he is new only 42 years old, and he has made nil of this in the last decade. He had nothing te start with, and his success is the result of brains and push. ChlncM Literature. San Fhancisce, Jan. 111. The work of missionaries outside et their strictly re ligious field has net recclvcd the atten tion it deserves. Te them we nre in debted for much valuable knowledge of wild countries, and still mera for re ports en the religion, habits and philoso phy of ether races. Especially is this tnie of China, for there Is se little gen eral interest in such matters that but for the missionaries we should have remain ed much longer in Ignorance of Chinese philosophy. The only foreigners making nny effort te acquire the Clilnese language are tha missionaries, and it is due te such men as Williams nnd Legge that the doctrines of Confucius mid the teachings of Budd hism have been exhumed from thelt deep oblivion and set up in readable lan guage. It is hore, mero than in any thing else, that the work of these men i manifest, Through years of ceaseless toil of Dr. Legge, the metnphysical nnd ctlitcal writings of Mencius have been placed nlongside of Bacen and Plate and Moses, The literature of Buddhism likewise shows deep thought and ascetic piety, and has marked the founders and ex ponents et that ancient religion. Ucrai of literature, poetry and proverhs have been brought te light by the researches of Christian scholars. While the general influcnce of Eure pean life has net tended te increase the respect of the Clilnese for our alleged superior civilization and morality, yet it is true that the literary research et mis sionaries has dene much toward bring ing about a belter understanding be tween the two races, by giving te each, in their own language, the ideas and purposes of the ether. With Increased shipping facilities and a consequent increasing commerce in China, and with the demoralizing and enervating effects of opium upon her people removed, there is yet hepe for a brighter future for that queer old coun try.
