The New York Herald advocates the abolition of our foreign ministry as *‘a useless extravagance,” The electric car is literally astonish. ing the natives of Singapore, India, They call it the wind carriage. About 40,000 people in England pay 8 guinea a year for the privilege of dis- playing their crests on their stationery and plate, Professor Max Muller's suggestion with regard to the British poet laureate- ship is that it be hung up until another poet like Tennyson appears. Henry M. Stanley recently declared that within one year a Central African railroad could be made profitable, and that it would also be the greatest civil. izer Germany and England could estab- lish. It is proposed to introduce the kan- garoo of Australia into North America as a substitute for the extinct, or all but extinct, bison. Parts of the country, especially in the West, unsuited for cul. tivation or other stock, might, it is thought, be used in breeding kangaroos, which afford not only good sport, but ¢‘flesh, fur and footwear.” It has been left to this late day, mare vels the New York Sun, to discover that two almost unknown rivers in East Africa may be navigated by steamboats for a far greater distance from the sea than any other rivers save two in the Dark Continent, No one had imagined that the almost unmapped Tana River, and the Juba, still wholly unknown for probably more than half of its course, would provide a far longer high way for vessels entering their mouths than the mighty Congo, the great Zambesi, or the Niger proper. A steamboat has now ascended each of these rivers for more than 350 miles, and in the development of commerce they are certain to prove among the most useful of Africa's water highways. Bays the New York Would: The women of the State of Wyoming of the proper age are all voters in these good times, and they call the attention of their American sisters to the fact that they have the ballot because they really wanted it. An eminent ex-philosopher of Laramie once said that the men ‘en. couraged the girls to vote in Wyoming” because it made them ‘‘hurry up aod get the dishes done 30 as to get down to the polls.” Ten years ago less than fifty per cent. of the population of Wyoming were women, but they are catebing up with the men 1n numbers as in political power. There are (or were in 1890) 29,343 men in Wyoming and there are 21,362 women, Alternate women dele- gates from Wyoming attended the Re- publican Convention at Minneapolis, There is no reason in the world why women might not have been regularly made Presidential Electors. But certain it is that several thousand women voted on election day for President. And it is not the first time that this has hap- pened. New Jersey came Into the Union with a clause permitting *‘tax. paying women and taxpaying colored men to vote,” and in the first three Presidential elections many New Jersey women's votes were cast and counted, But that clause was afterward changed to “white males.” I —————— The recent test of speed of horses and that of the endurance of officers and men in which 4 hundred German officers engaged from Berlin to Vienna, and a hundred Austro.Hungarian officers from Yienna to Berlin, have been freely com. mented upon, observes the New York Tribune, but are not considered by Army officers as so very remarkable. In 15877, Captain Ezea Fuller, of the Seventh United States Cavalry, during the pur. suit of Chief Joseph, was sent out by General Miles from Fort Keogh to ascer- tain and give warning as to the route which Chief Joseph was taking over the mountains, Captain Faller rode his own private horse, his guide had two Indian ponies, and an extra horse was taken along to carry the rations for the party. They were gone twelve days, during which they rode more than 600 miles—not over the King's highway, but through an unknown mountainous wilderness. During this twelve days Captain Faller was unable to procure more than three feeds of grain tor his horses. The Indian ponies gave out on the third day, and the guide then rode the extra horse. Captain Fuller once rode sixty-six miles in nine hours in search of deserters. Adjutant Boll, also of the Beventh Cavalry, rode through the Bad Lands, in North Dakota, in 1882, 105 miles in twelve hours. Many fostances of long rides of United States Cavalry officers might be mentioned in which the endurance of both men and horees was tested, and comparisons would show that American men and horses are second to none in tests of this (character, —— CONGRESS REASSEMBLES The Senate and House Form. ally Organize for Business.
