EitiaLTEIMEN IN AFRICA.

Sir Sainuel Daher, who has taken the command of
au F,gyptian expedition to subdue the slave-dealing
tribes who dwell about the sources of the Nile, writes
to say that everything was ready for the start by the
middle of September. The fleet of steamers and
boats had previously gone forward to Khartoum, the
town at the junction of the two :Vile branches, and
ere now this interesting expedition must be
in full swing. Sir Samuel. discourages the idea of
sending out an exploring party from Zanzibar to gain
tidings of Livingstone.
Although well meant, it would be a useless undertaking,
as I shall arrive south of the Albert long before any expe-
dition from Zanzibar could reach Tanganyika. There I
shall be certain to hear of him, as I shall be within a few
miles of the latter lake. Should any white man be in the
country, the chiefs or kings of the various tribes are sure
to have the information, and I shall have both the force
and supplies necessary for his assistance, with a direct
communication established to Khartoum.

Sir Roderick Murchison, commenting on this letter,
adheres to his opinion that the great traveller has
followed the waters of Lake Tanganyika westward,
and that he will soon reappear on the west coast.
Sir Roderick entertains strong hopes that Sir Samuel
Baker's expedition will procure information.

THE SOCI.,th SCIENCE CONGRESS.
BRISTOL, FRIDAY.

Laitnight was L.-en up to the interchange of courtesies.
between the Mayor of the city and the visitors to the
Congress. The reception at the Colston Hall was worthy
of tho hospitality and wealth of Bristol. Though the
weather was simply execrable—it has rained almost with-
out intermission since Wednesday morning—the gathering
was a largo one, and none who attenuca is Mal Uatitu LA,
regret having braved the elements to do so. Thus
far there has been nothing untoward—save the weather—
to mar the success or pleasure of the Congress. The
departments have produced good papers, and the discus-
sions raised have been well sustained.

A MONSTER GUN.

The Russians are determined not to be left behind in the
competition of destructive artillery. A colossal gnu has
just been cast at Perm, which, according to the St.
Petersattry News, throws a ball weighing eighty
Russian pools, or 2,880 pounds. It is being
tested by a commission of engineers, and should the
result prove satisfactory the Government intend ordering
five similar pieces. The gun itself weighs about fifty-two
tons, so that the difficulties attending its transit will be
something serious. The new gun is two-thirds larger than
the monster cannon of the sixteenth century, which has
hitherto been displayed as one of the wonders of the
Kremlin.

THE PERILS OF FASHION.

We are indebted to a lady correspondent for the correc-
tion of a mistake, or rather an emission, in our recent
article on Tight-lacing. In ascribing tho ungainly, feeble,
and tottering walk of our modern fine ladies and their
middle-class imitators to the decreptitucle induced by tight
lacing, we omitted to mention another fashionable folly
which assists in the production of this evil, and has also othe.
sins of its own to answer for. The custom of wearing high
boot-heels, and those too so much smaller than the actual
heel of the wearer as to afford no solid support, but only a
balancing-point, is a source of much mischief. In the first
place, it throws the centre of gravity of the body so far
forward that a free and gracefully erect carriage is impos-
sible. Secondly, there being no firm support to the heel,
ladies are very apt to twist the ankle suddenly by over-
balancing themselves ; and this is not only bad in itself
but the fear of its occurrence makes them assume a timid,
wincing gait. And, thirdly, the effect of driving the foot
constantly forward into the too of the boot is to produce
a very ugly'and painful distortion of the great toe joint.
There is little need for wonder at the almost fierce con-
tempt with which young men whose characters are at all
above the lowest grades of conventional inanity regard the
average "girl of the period." It cannot he denied that
there is a significant correspondence between the aesthetic
hideousness and the degrading effects on physical health
which are produced by tight stays and crippling boots, and
a certain mental and moral tone in female society of the
present day, which is no less surprising than it is repulsive,
—Lancet.

MB. STUART MILT.

A. correspondent of the Star, who is honou:ed
large type, Suggests that Mr. Stuart Mill should be
brought forward for the seat rendered vacant by Mr.
Moncreiff. He believes that Mr. Mill's return to the
House of Commons would be a material gain, and no
man could more fitly represent and advance the
Liberal views of a Scotch university con-
stituency. The Star considers that the sug-
gestion is a most timely one. Our contem-
porary thinks he is just the man for the seat.
There are difficulties incidental to his candidature for
any popular constituency, for ho refuses to spend
money- lavishly, nor will he canvass personally. This,
the Star thinks, would be a great recommendation to
the electors of Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities.
One University constituency made Mr. Mill its Lord
Rector, and another is now asked to accept him a,
its parliamentary representative.
It is- generally anticipated that Mr. Gordon will
accept the invitation to become the Conservative can-
didate,: and a strong committee has been organised to
promote his return. The Liberal candidate already
in. the field is Mr. Smith, of. Jordanhill, who is well
known in Glasgow. .

MORE ABOUT THE HERALDS' COLLEG:

The Heralds' College has suddenly risen from
obscurity, but in a most unenviable manner. Com-
praints against the doings of its officials flow in
unceasingly. The other day the sufferer was a Mr.
Shortguts, who wanted to change his name, but could
not, owing to the college ; and now a mournful story
about a coat-of-arms comes from another victim.
Some time ago this gentleman was compelled to
adopt the arms and surname of a relative in order to
secure a legacy. A communication was made to the
Heralds' College ; but that obnoxious institution
raised two objections. The arms which this victim
already bore were "ignoble," and before he could
quarter his relatives coat they must be "registered ;"
and as they were similar to those of another family
they must be "improved." The victim and his father
consented, and in due time received two boxes, one
containing the arms " improved," and the other the
improved arms quartered with those of the relative.
Each of these boxes are accompanied by a bill, that
for the combined "improving' and quartering being
£172 10s. ! Surely this is rather a stiff sum to pay
for such mummery.

THE A LADAMA CLAIMS.

There is much reason to think that the negotiations
touching the Alabama claims will he resumed much
sooner than was expected. Several statements to the
effect that Mr. Motley was dissatisfied with his
instructions having found their way into print, an
authorised version of the status quo has been issued.
The American Government wishes it to be und-r-
-stood that Mr. Motley is not restricted as to the
time when his difficult business should. be recom-
menced. It was thought better to wait until the
excitement in England caused by the Senate's rejec-
tion of the Clarendon-Johnson Treaty had sul,sided
before re-opening the subject, but it was never
intended that Mr. Motley should neglect a
favourable opportunity for doing s so. lle
has received special instructions, according to
this account, for the negotiation of a consular treaty,
to which the American Government attaches much
importance, and also with regard to the naturalisation
protocol. The Senate ratified this protocol, but Par-
liament failed to pass the law giving it effect. It
would be interesting to know whether the Americans
like their new ambassador. Mr. Reverdy Johnson
talked too much. But the Americans are a talkative
race, and the silence of Mr. Motley is perfectly awe-
inspiring.

corp tat AND CHOLERA.

From some statistics recently brought for7.-ard at a
meeting of the Acad6inie des Sciences, strong proof
was given that men engaged in working with copper
are not so liible to be attacked with cholera
as the general community. Investigations have
shewn that in 1865 and 1866—the years in which
the epidemic raged so fiercely in Paris—sixteen men
died who were employed in the manipulittion of
copper. The number of adult workmen in this

CUSTOM-HOUSE PECULATION.

A serious charge against the Hull Custom-house
officials has been brought 12; a Mr. William Carr.
On the 10th of September a 'end sent him a case of
Swedish branvin, which was consigned to a highly
respectable house in Hill After the -lapse cf
some days the present arrived at his house ;
but instead of `tsix bottles there were obly
five, and instead of pure branvin, the contents
were branvin and water. In strength the bottles
contained not more than two-thirds spirit, and IVere
scarcely filled above the shoulder. 1n reply to his
inquiries, it was stated that "on opening it one
bottle was broken, which was taken out, and that
only one of the other bottles was opened for
j the Customs' examination? But the nianapr
of a wine business has reported that not
a drop of spirit has been spilt, and that
every bottle has been opened and diluted with
water. Mr. Carr says that out of eighteen bottles
sent to him on three separate occasions, twelve have
been stolen, and w.hat remained were spoilt. Surely
this is a caEe which demands investigation.

TUE REVENUE RETURNS.

Most of the criticisms on the revenue returns for
the year and quarter ending September 30 are in a
hopeful tone. The Times says that though the
national income has not recovered its old buoyancy,
we may now see our way to a better state of things,
notwithstanding the depression that exists in various
branches of industry. In the accounts for the
quarter there is a falling off in Customs, but an
increase on stamps and on property tax. The whole
statement is as favourable as could be expected ;
but it is clear that the country has no money to
spare. The Standard thinks the figures are of a gra-
tifying character. The Telegraph grants that the in-
crease of three millions shewn by the revenue of the
whole year is largely owing to the arrears of pro-
perty tax,_ included in the financial year which ended
on the 31st of March ; but there is, nevertheless,
substantial ground for congratulation on the whole
returns.

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT IX C *P.K

The men of Munster seem to havo worthily
acquitted themselves at the banquet given at Cork in
honour of the Lord-Lieutenant. Nothing, we are
told, could surpass the splendour and success of this
entertainment. Earl Spencer made a somewhat
lengthy speech, but it was largely devoted to local
matters, and his allusions to national topics were in
very general terms. Cork has prospered, and is
prospering. The advantages of its magnificent har-
bour may be seen in the long rows of quays, the
large shipbuilding yards, and the extensive commerce
which it possesses. The Royal Docks, which were
inaugurated on Wednesday, have been constructed for
the accommodation of the royal navy, and hence the
cost has been supported by a grant of public money.
No wonder then that the citizens of Cork and the
Lord-Lieutenant have been on the best of terms.
Why Fenianism should be most rampant in the Irish

WORKING MEN AND PROTECTION.

Mr. Odder has declared energetic war against the
Times. That journal having pronounced that the work-
ing classes, as represented by their trades unions, are
Protectionists to a man, the late candidate for Chelsea
meets the statement with a point-blank denial. It is "as
far away from the fact as it is possible to get." It is true
that in some few trades, the members of which
believe that they are injured by the French treaty,
a cry for Protection has been got up ; but this proves
nothing against the great body of working men. In
fact, some working men who a-e injured by foreign
competition never sought Protection as a remedy.
Witness the carpenters who suffer from the importa-
tion of foreign work. When have these called for
Protection ?

"Ono more fact for which I can vouch, having been
personally concerned in it. When a few years • ago,
through the fiscal arrangements of Sir Robert Peel, the
shoemakers of the West-end of London were threatened by
a severe Continental competition, instead of flying to the
Legislature of the country and asking for Protection, they
met their masters and agreed with them to lower their
wages on all fancy goods, that their employers might have
a better chance of holding their ground against this new
competition; and at the same time, lest they should not be
able to sustain such a competition successfully then:selves,
these very men, who had thus agreed to -reduce their wa,ges,
set apart a portion of their subscriptions to aid them in
emigration."

What Mr. Odger declares himself in favour of is reciprc-
eity,and by reciprccity he means that those who draw up
commercial treaties should do so in the interests .of
all concerned, and should possess sufficient knowledge
of the matters they are dealing with to secure those
interests in fair proportions fur all, dividing at the
same time in hke manner such disadvantages and
inconveniences as may. follow ;these e-periniental
national bargainings.
The Tines, however, is not convinced by Mr.
Odger's stroll.. representations. It points out that
but the other day a council of the Congress of -the
Working Men of all nations was held, and one .of the
main objects proposed was the abolition of Free
Trade. English workmen were present. The Times
seems to apprehend that ere long there will be a
separation between the Liberal and Radical middle-
class and the hand labourers of the country.

A RAILWAY STATION FLOODED.

During the heavy thunder storm which visited mak!
parts of England on Wednesday night and Thursday morn-
ing the rain came down in Liverpool with the
velocity of a waterspout. On Thursday morning
it was discovered that the London and North-Western
Railway goods station at Derby-road had been
completely flooded. The water was about two feet
deep, and casks and packages were floating about in it.
Assistance was immediately procured, and the goods
removed, as well as the books, &0., from the office, and the
horses from the stables. The boilers and engines were
full of water, and fire engines had to be obtained to pump
it out. The flooding was, it seems, occasioned by the
bursting of a sewer. The storm also raged with especial
violence at Oxford, and greatly disturbed the meeting
which Mr. Cardwell was addressing.

" THE TABLET" AND PERE 11 YA CINTIIE

Referring to the remarkable letter which recently
emanated from the pen of Pero Hyacinthe, the Tablet says,
" What has driven this religious to snch a scandal is not
the love of some now truth which has illuminated his in-
tellect and communicated to him the fever, the imp'',
ration, and the courage of great reformers ; no, he
breaks with tho Ultramontanes, leaves his convent, and
descends from his pulpit simply bacauso ho has incurred
the blame of his superiors, and because his pride cannot
bend itself to that obedince whi ch ho vowed on the day
when he assumed the habit of a Carmelite lf
we belonged to the Roman Church, our judgment would
be severe. Father Hyacinthe has committed ts great sin,
the sin of pride."

PEOFESSOrt HUXLEY ON SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION.

After distributing the prizes to the students of t,ho
Lower Islington Public Schools on Thursday evening,
in connection, with the Science and Art Department,
Professor Huxley delivered a short address on the
subject of scientific education. It was ten or eleven
years since'the late Marquis of Salisbury, then at the
head of the Committee of Council—under, he was
bound to say, a Tory Government—was reminded
that something ought to be done to improve the
education of the people. The Government thereupon
organised a workable scheme, which was simply to
give young men who chewed capacity a good chance
of getting a fair start in life, and a good opportunity
of making their way in the world. The whop
scheme was based on the principle that people ought
in the first instance to endeavour to help themselves,
and the result was held to be perfectly satisfactory.
The State had been in the habit of offering £lO to
one out of every hundred, so that in a school of 300
scholars it was competent for three boys to carry off
the three ten pounds. But the State no longer gave
this money unconditionally. It would in future bo
given on the understanding that the locality in which
a school is placed showed its interest by raising £5
extra. If the people of Islington did not raise that
small sum, then the Government would shut their
pockets.

TENANT-RIGHT.

The second of the series of meetings in support of
tenant-right as the settlement of the land question
has been held at Tipperary. The Market Hall was
crowded, and a multitude besieged the place Outside.
Mr. Butt, Q.C., stated that a committee had been
formed under his presidency to establish a great
National Tenant League on the plan of the Catholic
Association, the object of which would be.to obtain
fixity of tenure for the Irish farmers. They
should hold public meetings and obtain information
as to the actual condition of the occupiers of the soil.
As for himself, he had made up his mind that so long
as the landlord held arbitrary power of eviction over
the tenant there could be no peace or prosperity in
the land. Under the present system there were some
5,000 proprietors, and 21, millions of people who were
virtually in the condition of slaves. Dean O'Brinn,
of Limerick, spoke to the same eirect. It is evident
that the Roman Catholic clergy have entered heart
and soul into the tenant-right battle. The Rev. Dr.
O'Neil was chairman at this meeting.

THE DIET OF BOHEMIA

Count Beust, Count Taffe, MM. Herbst, Plener, and
others, left Vienna for Prague on Wednesdarto be present
at the opening of the Bohemian Diet. It is rumoured that
the German members of the Diet intend, with the con-
currence of the Ministry, to make an attempt at
conciliation in order to prevent the eighty-four Czech
deputies from again frustrating the labours of the Diet by
refusing to take part in the deliberations. The several Pro-
vincial Diets of the empire will conclude their labours
before the 23rd inst., the meeting of the Vienna Parlia-
ment being fixed for the 9th of November.

A WONDERFUL JOURNEY,

The peasants in the Central Provinces of Russia for a
long while regarded the railways with superstitious horror,
and christened the Moscow express, "the devil's stage
coach." A story is current in St. Petersburg apropos of
this early period. "Under the former regime the up and
dowritrains on the Moscow line used to meet at Belegoe, the
,half-way station ; and thus it happened on ope occasion the:
an old peasant, en route for Moscow, who had got out to
refresh himself with some tea, took his place in the wrong
train, and was soon on his way back to St. Petersburg.
Recognising a friend among the passengers, ho began to
expatiate enthusiastically upon the wonders of railway
travelling, But the most extraordinary thing of all,' con-
cluded he, is that you are going to St. Petersburg, and I
to Moscow, and yet here we are both in the same carriage
What a wonderful invention it is.!"

PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.

The Vienna journals are.making many comments on the
expected visit of the Crown Prince and the bettor ruder
standing that has come to pass between the -courts of
Berlin and Vienna. The Presse declares that the relations
between the two countries will be put en a more fliEnd!y
footing if both sides renounce all ideas of influencing th
Southern States of Germany. It will also be necessary
for France and Austria to preserve their present ami.able
relations. The Jforgen Post is more doubtful of the teat
ter, and says that Austria must not sacrifice her strenz,,th
in order to support dead prinCiples. It is idle to look for
the revival of the Holy Alliance at the present time.

THE EPXLOSION AT BAYSWATER.

Another account states that a police-constable had
his attention directed to a small quantity of smoke
pouring through the windows of the shop, and before
he had time to spring his rattle, as if by magic, a loud
explosion was heard, and every room in the house became
on fire and the roof fell in. To render any assistance to
those in the house at once became impossible, owindto the
fury of the flames, it being well known that at least eight
persons were sleeping in the dwelling. The fire escape
arrived in the course of a few minutes, but the conductor was
unable to enter the building, owing to the flames which rushed
through every window some distance across the road.
Several engines belonging to the Metropolitan Fire Brigade,
including three land-steamers of Shand, Mason, and Co.,
having arrived, the firemen found plenty of water flowing
from the Grand Junction Company's mains. The brigade
immediately went to work in their usual intrepid manner,
and were successful in saving the premises of Mr. Payne,
of No. 70, and those of Mr. Parsons, of No. 68.
The main body of the fire in the premises of
Mr. Titheradge could not be extinguished until the
building might be said to be nearly destroyed. Mr.
Palmer, chief brigade officer of the district, then gave
orders for the men under him to search the ruins for the
missing parties, and the only person found alive was Mr.
E. Titheradge, but he was so severely burnt and injured
that he was taken to the hospital, where he lies with little
hope of recovery.

THE GREAT BOWLERS.

Freeman, the Yorkshire cfcketer, stands first
among the bowlers of the year. During the past
sAson he delivered 539 overs for 586 runs and 60
wickets—an average of 91 runs per wicket. J. C.
Shaw, of Notts, comes second, with 650 overs for
6)8 runs and 63 wickets—average a little
over 11 runs per wicket. Emmett, another
Yorkshirernan, is third, with an average of nearly 12
rims a wicket. Southerton, of Surrey, has bowled
the great total of 1,219 overs, for 1,874 runs and
124 wickets—average about 15. Wilishor, of Kent,
is fifth, with an average of 151. The bowlers of
Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire have mainly con-
tributed to the superiority thoso two counties
during the season of 1869.
