THE Iate journey OF PlaYgla, an ItaI-
ian, who has resided for Is years in
Africa, makes it almost positive that
there exists west of the Albert Nyanza a
large lake, known to the natives as
Metuasset. His attempt to reach it was
frustrated by the warlike condition of
the country. He reached the villages of
the Niamniams, race about whom
many mythical stories are af1oat-such'
as that they are half dogs, or have tails.
The brothers Poncet, who possess trading
stations in this region, have sent valua-
BILE facts respecting it to the Geograph-
ical Society Of Paris. They have revived
the views of the Arabian geographers,
Abulfeda and Edrisi, i'm regard to a union
between the Niger and the Nile, by
means of great inland sea-. In fact,
they believe the lake to be also connect

THE HOME OF ABRAHAM LINCoLN.-Mrs.
Stanton has recently visited Springfield, ILL.,,
and thus describes visit to the house former
ly occupied by Abraham Lincoln:
Mr.. Tyndale took us to see Mr.. Lincoln
house, office, business partners, and the Su-
perintendent of Public Schools, Newton Bate
man, an intimate friend OF MIR. Lincoln 8
whom he always faceti0usly called mr.. School
Master" We found pleasant family in Mr..
Lincoln's house, who courteously showed us
different articles of furniture that belonged to
him. We all gathered reverently round a
large black walnut writing desk, where he
used to sit frequently. All who knew him
well say that he was the saddest men they
ever knew. His fun, his anecdotes, his appar-
emit joviality, were all on the surface; in the
midst of company he would suddenly relapse
into the most profound silence and mel IN
choly, as if his tragic end was foreshadowed, or
some grief was ever present with him. The
house is pleasant one, two stories high. In a
corner, as you enter, there are two go0d-sized
parlors on one side, sitting room, dining
room, and kitchen on the other. The same
table round which he had gathered with his
family still stood there.
AS we thought of home and family life its
Jays and sorrows, its sunshine and its shadows,
we wished in our souls that more love abound
ed, that husbands and wives were more pa
tent, forbearing. generous, and magnanim0us
with one another, aud more tender and chari-
table in their dealings with their children. Oh
what wealth. of happiness we cheat ourselves
in not more carefully cultivating the affections
and sentiments, from which all our highest
and purest pleasures flow. We met Stephen
f. Logan, one of Mr.. Lincoln's early partners
in the street, shook hands with him and had a
little chat. We were sorry to see tobacco
juice running down Stephens chin, for he had
a good, honest face, and we were prepared to
reverence him forh is early affiliations. 1t is a
pleasant fact to record, that Mr.. Lincoln nei-
ther took strong drink, snuff nor tobacco, and
did neither lie, nor steal, nor swear.

The Right Rev. Peter Paul Lefevere, Ro-

died in the city OF Detroit on the 4th inst.
he was of Flemish birth, and came to the
United States in 1928. Being assigned to mis-
sionaly labor in the West his untiring energy
and zeal soon obtained for him the title of "the
Great Missionary" He was consecrated Bish-
op in 1841 and for twenty-seven years he ad-
ministered the arduous duties of large do

skill and prudence, and filed with churches

OUR MINISTER TO SPAIN. : George w.
Smalley has recently visited John P. Hale at
Madrid and not only reports that Hale is to
blame in the quarrel between him and his
secretary of legation, Mr.. Perry, but that his
faculties are much impaired. He adds:
The decay OF his faculties is largely owing, ]
have been told, to a severe illness, and the
same cause may have affected equally his ac-
tivity of body and of intellect. His knowledge
of and interest in Spanish politics seemed to
me equally limited, and was told again and
again that he had little influence either with
the old Government or with the present. The
real work of the Legation has been done by
the Secretary, whose long residence in Spain
and perfect knowledge of the language, as
well as his wide acquaintance with leading
men of every party, have enabled him to rem
der very important services to his own coun.
try. These defects unfit Mr.. Hale for official
duties, as his inability to establish and main
tain personal relations with the best society OF
Madrid disqualfy him from exercising the
indirect, but in Europe always important,
influence springing from personal intercourse.
Mr.. Hale has no sympathy with the revolu-
ton, and is openly hostile to the Republican
movement. Few Americans, fear, can have
visited the Legation at Madrid without hear
ing wishes for the return of the Queen ar
IDENTIFY expressed know not how to describe
the feeling thus manifested in an American
Embassy toward that royal prostitute, except
as an infatuation. If it be said that begin
here to touch on matters which / must have
learned from private conversation. answer
that they are the common talk of Madrid, and
that not only Americans, but Spanards and
even Englishmen express their amazement
that the cause of Spanish freedom should find
some of its worst enemies in the circle that
surrounds the American Minister, while his
own words in respect to movement with
which every true American must sympathize
are uniformly those of Encouragement and
depreciation.
Mr.. Perry's successor has been appointed
but it is reported from Washington that Hale
is likely to be removed also in consequence OF

TERRIBLE sua.ring. OF nmigrau,s.

Terrible SuMorhM&e u AnAhkr0Mt8s
The ship James Foster which arrived in
New York last Monday left Liverpool on the
10th of December, being nearly three months
on the passage. One hundred and fifty emil
grants were huddled together in the dark and
i'll ventilated hold for ten weeks.
At each side of the bold are erected tiers of
hunks resembling row of cupboards, These
were appropriated by the passengers, the
males on one side and the females on the 9TH
er. The emigrants bore their sufferings in si-
renee tlii the 9th of January. On the morn
ing OF that day general conversation took
place among them as to the quality of their
provisions, some maintaining that the quality
was of an inferior order and likely to entail
disease. Nearly all appeared to have misgiv-
ings as to their ever reaching land, for the voy-
age had been thus far accomplished in the
teeth of hurricane, and the ship day after
day for three weeks had been plunging heavi-
ly through the waves. Later In the montn
some few of the female emigrants presented
a sickly and languid appearance, and although
they were promptly removed to better quar-
tiers, it was found that the dreaded disease
ship fever-was making sad havoc. Four
deaths followed each other in rapid succession,
and although the officers assured the passen-
gers that the cause of death in all cases was
not contracted on board, aperfect panic spread
among them, and when horror had seized
them on a more than usually rough evening, a
man named George Arnold sorane among
crowd of woe-begone females standing in the
hatchway, gave them maniac look, then
mounted on the ledge-work of the
ship, and plunged into the surf
All efforts to save him were in vain, as
the wind was high and the ship occasionally
seastruck and driven from her course. Suisse
quently to this the bodies of William Julian,
laboror, As years of age, of w. w. Saunders,
aged 48, and of John Podlam were consigned
to the deep.
After these successive burials, the spirit of
the emigrants seemed utterly to fail them
For several weeks the majority of the males,
and the entire female portion kept below
decks. Fever ragged and appeared to be about
to carry away the whole company, though this
gloomy forebodng was happily far from being
realized. Toward the end of the voyage most
of the down hearted recovered their former
spirits, and better health returned among
them. On the arrival of the vessel at the low
er bay, there were LAG passengers convalescent
and debilitated, none of whom occupied first
or second-class saloons
Some frightful tales of cruelty practiced on
the seamen of the. ship by the captain and
other officers are told by the sufferers. Some
accounts make it out that net less than four
of the sailors were beaten, kicked and other
wise abused, until their debilitated frames
gave way under their torments, The arrest of
the boatswain and carpenter of the vessel by
the Staten Island Police, on complaint OF the
seamen, is reported.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Our venerable and re-
spected fellow citizen, Capt. Nathaniel Shaw,
died very suddenly on Friday, at the age of 80
years. He had been somewhat unwell for
some weeks, but was able to go out ON Friday
and get shaved. On returning home he COM
planned of pain in the region of his heart
and his wife gave him some medicine and left
the room for a moment. On her return she
found her husband on the sofa and in his dy-
ing gasps. He expired in few moments
His death was undoubtedly oocasoned by
disease of the heart.
Capt. Shaw was harness and saddle max
er by profession, and tpursued his business in
this city until 1929 when he was appointed
one of the inspectors Of the revenue, which Of
flee he held eight years. He then entered into
the grocery and provision business and contin-
tinued in it for some time. For several years
past he has not been engaged in active bust.
ness.
The deceased was captain of the Portland
Light Infantry during the war with Great
Britain in 1872, and commanded that corps
when it acted as escort at the funerals o.
Captains Burroughs and Blythe of the Enter
prise and Boxer after their combat off this
port; and also at the funeral of Lieut. Kervir
Wsters of the Enterprise, who was so badly
wounded in that engagement that he subse'
quently died in this city. .dt
In the death of Capt. Shaw the Temperance
men of this city have lost faithful laborel
and our citizens worthy man.

Masquerade nj wessbrees.

ESTBROOK, Marcn LIZ o..
MIR. EDITOR The P. w. AS of Westbrook
gave the jolliest little masked party of the sea-
son on last Thursday evening, to their friends,
al Harmon's Hall, at the West end. The party
was strictly private, only the members and
friends being admitted. At an early hour over
forty couples were assembled on the floor, and
took part in the opening march, and presented
novel and picturesque appearance. Some Of
the most conspicuous of the masks were Mr.
w. Chenery as Horace Greeley; Mr.. H. Gould
as Uncle Sam; Mr.. Dole as Capt Jinks; Nc
Donald as Ye Ancient Gentleman; Mr.. o.
Irish as an Irishman, aud Mr.. f. L. Dow as a
Negro exquisite. Of the ladies, the Misses
Milliken as Night and Morning; Miss Low as
the Goddess of Liberty; Miss E. Remick as
Negro Bell; Miss Ackery as the Press; Miss
Gould, and many others. The above were no.
ted for the elegance OF their costumes, and the
many of them acting the parts they represent
ed. The festivities were kept up till IL o'clock,
when the party broke up, all feeling that they
had had good time, and voting a large guam
tity of thanks to Mr. f. E. Harmon, who gave
them the use of his splendid hall, and to the
managers, Messrs. Mcdonald, Halves and Dole
