ity, and l must be frank with you. My
predecessor, Mr. Buchanan, taught us the
impolicy of weakness and concession. The
people are magnanimous, but they under
stand by magnanimity courageous steadi-
ness in principle. They do not think it pos
sible that a large heart should consist with
narrow brain and they would consider it
puslllanimous in them to consent to the
weakness OF their country by admitting you

given evidence of sincere loyalty to its prin-
ciples, or, at least, of wholesome fear Of its
power. They believe, and heartily agree
With them, that strong nation begets
strong citizens, and a weak one weak; that
the powers Of the private man are invigorated
and enlarged by his confidence in the power
Of the body polite and they see no possible
means of attaining or securing this needed
strength but in that homogeneousness of
laws and institutions which breeds unanim.
ity Of ideas and sentiment, no way OF ar
irving at that homogeneousness but the
straightforward path of perfect freedom
Gentlemen, in bidding you farewell, l ask
you to consider whether you have not for
gotten that in order to mems living peace
fully together in communities, the idea of
government precedes that of liberty, and
that the one is as much the child of necessity
as the other is slow concession to civiliza-
ton and the habit of obedience to something
more refined than force.'

The Great Victoria Falls of the Zambest
River in Africa.

Livingstone, the great traveller, In his re-
cent book of his travels in Africa, thus de-
scribes the most wonderful geographical dis
covery of modern times:
The Victoria Falls of the Zambest river
are among the most remarkable curiosites of
the interior of Africa. For several miles
above the cataract the river is smooth and
tranquil, flowing by lovely islands thickly
covered with tropical vegetation. Lofty
palm trees with their fruit in lofty clusters,
grow abundantly upon the banks Many
flowers peep out near the waters edge. But
these charming islands are soon succeeded
by dangerous rapids. 1t is only when the
river is very low that they can be passed in
safety. Elephants and hippopotami are
often swept over the falls, and, of course,
smashed to pulp. In entering the race of
waters, the party was requested not to speak,
as talking might impair the virtue of the
medicine There were places where the
utmost exertions of the canoe man had to be
used to force the boat to the only safe part
of the rapid, and to prevent it from sweeping
down broadside on. AT times it seemed as
if nothing could save the canoe from dash
ing headlong against the rocks, but just at
the nick of time the word was passed to the
sherman, who, with ready pole, turned the
craft a little aside, and it glided swiftly
past the threatened danger.
On reaching the falls, spectacle of inde-
scribabie magniicence was presented to the
travellers The cataract is formed by crack
across the river, the bed of the Zambest at
that place. The lips of the crack are still
quite sharp, except about three feet of the
edge over which the river roll The walls

projecting crag The cleft is in length few
yards more than the breadth of the Zam.
best. which was found to be. by measure
ment, little over |, $50 yards, but this mum
Der was retained to mark the year in which
the fall was for the first time carefully ex-
amined. The width at the narrowest point
was so yards, and at the widest somewhat
more. Into this chasm, twice as deep as
Niagara Falls, the river, a mile wide rolls
with deafening roar, forming the Victoria
cataract. 1t is broken into several partial
falls by rocks and islands, in all making
upwards of 2,700 feet of perennial falls
The whole body of water rolls clear over
quite unbroken, but after a descent of ten or
more feet, the entire mass suddenly becomes
like huge sheet of driven snow. Pieces of
water leap from it in the form of comets with
tails streaming behind, till tie whole snowy
sheet is turned into myriads of rushing.
leaplng. aqueous comets The amount is
probably exceeded by Niagara, though not
in the months when the Zambest is in food.
This vast body of water necessarily incloses
in its descent large volume of air, which.
forced into the cleft to an unknown depth,
rebounds, and rushes up loaded with vapor
to form three or even six columns, as if of
steam, visible at the distance of twenty-one
miles. On reaching the hight of two hun
dred feet from the level of the river, the
vapor becomes condensed into perpetual
shower of fine rain."

When the first developments concernig
trichina were made an excitement was Great
ed which threatened to ruin the pork busi.
ness of the country. Subsequently it was
denied that there was any danger from this
new and terrible disease, and tnat the whole
affair was merely sensational. The Illinois
Academy of Sciences, composed of the most
distinguished physicians and scientific men
of Chicago, have lately devoted month to
careful investigation of the subject They
brought to their aid the science of chemistry,
the most powerful microscopes, and all the
appliances of the laboratory. Samples of
pork from all the great packing houses of
chicago were examined. and the result is
the announcement that trichna exists in the
western pork to greater extent than in
Germany, where its effects on human life
have been so fearful. The gentlemen com
prising the Academy OF Sciences are of a
character and standing which precludes the
idea of their being either interested or in
competent to judge correctly concerning
the matter in question, and their opinion is
therefore, authority. Thus it is settled be.
yond all dispute that trichina does exist in
Western hogs, all representations to the
contrary notwithstanding but the practical
question that interests every one is. whether
it is safe to eat pork at all, or whether the
use of this very important and almost in
dispensable article of food must be abandon
ed. The report says that eases of trchin-
iosis are exceedingly rare in the United
States, because of the American system of
thorough cooking; that trchina is never
found in old American cured hams that
sausages are the most dangerous form of
SWINE hesh; that raw pork should never
be eaten In any form; that trichina exists
only in lean meat, and is most numerous
along the backbone, and that it is killed by
a heat of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The
report assigns flthiness il, the pens where
hogs are kept. and in their food, as the
cause of trichna, and declares that it will
be prevented by keeping the hogs where
they cannot come to the ground. and feeding
them on vegetable food. Farmers who are
interested in making pork will do we'll to
make note of this, for if trichiniosis should
prevail in this country the pork raising bust.
ness is dead. The report recommends sys.
tenn of microscopic inspection by a regular

there is no occasion for panic, but only for
the exercise of caution in eating imperfectly
cooked meats. Bridgeport Standard

YOU KISSED ME.

The following beautiful little poem appeared

without signature. We don't know when we
have seen anything prettier
You kissed me my head dropped low on your
breast
With feeling of shelter and infinite rest
While the holy emotions my tongue dared not
speak
Flashed like fame from my heart to my cheek
Your arms held me fast-oh your arms were so
bold,
Heart responded to heart in that passionate hold,
Your glances seemed drawing my soul through my
As the sun draws the mist from the earth to the
skies,
And your lips clung to mine till prayed in my
bliss
That they might never unclasp from that rapturous
kiss.
You kissed me my heart and my breath and my
will,
In delirious joy, for the moment stood still;
Lie had for me then no temptations or charms
No vista of pleasure outsids of your arms.
And were l an angel this instant possessed
vi the glory and peace that given the blest,
would throw my white robes repiningly down,
Anf take from my forehead its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more in that haven of rest
With your lips on mine and my head on your
breast.
You kissed me! my soul, in bliss so divine,
Reeled and swooned like a foolish man drunken
with wine,
And thought 'twere delicious to die then, if death
Came while my lips were still moist with your
breath,
'Twere delicious to die if my heart might grow
cold,
While your arms held me fast in that passionate
hold
nd these are the questions ask day and night:
Must my lips taste but once such rapturous de.
light?
Would you care if your heart were my shelter as
then
And if you were here, would you kiss me again

ROMANCE IN SENATOR S LIFE.-Frazer's

not mention the name of its hero, who is
Senator Lane, of Kansas:

repaired to that Territory, intending to return
soon. Becoming identified with the struggles
of Kansas. the Senator STAYED away yerv
long. His wife at length demanded his re-
turn. He wrote back that it was impossible
to return. His wife waited little, and then
wrote declaring that unless he returned by a
stated time she would sue for divorce. The
Senator made no reply, but gave a glowing
account of the patriotic movement in which
he bore ii con .picuous part. The next letter
he received was from clerk of q court in
Indiana, informing him that his wife had
filed bill, with another from lawyer offer
ing to defend him. The Senator wrote back
to the lawyer as follows: Dear Sir, Yours

A MAN named Gill moved into the town of
Mount Morris, Michigan, recently, and
brought with him what he claimed to be his
family. Shortly after Mr. lIosmer made
his appearance and claimed the woman liy-
ing with Gill as his wife. After making
every effort to compromise the matter, the
two men proceeded to "draw cuts" to de-
eide the possession of the woman. The
sticks were prepared, and held by the woman.
and Hosmer drew the big one. thus fairly
winning the prize (?) But the difficulty was
not to be settled so easy, for when Hosmer
began to make preparations to leave with
the woman the desolate and lonely prospect
in the future for Gill induced him to make
proposition to give Hosmer five pounds of
maple sugar and his note for s. for the
woman, which liberal offer was accepted,
the paper drawn, and Hosmer left. Those
who are acquainted with the parties think
that Hosmer got the best of the bargain
Taken all around it was a sweet affair.
