THE NEw FIaM.-It will be seen by
reference TO Special Notice in this issue OF
the Wing and Tribune, that Mr.. William
Holland and Mr.. J. Wilbon have formed
partnership. Mr.. Holland is known 10
many Of our readers rs one of JacksOns
most successful merchants. Mr.. Wnbon
has been for many years connected with
leading houses in Cincinnati, Louisville
and New York, rs Travelling Agent. His
experience aud acquaintance, therefore, ia
both extensive and valuable. He repre-
scented for some time the Notion House of
G. Il II. MeFadden, OF Cincinnati. after
wards the great Louisville Dry Goods
houses of $. Ulman Il Co., and Bamberger
Bloom Z Co.. and more recently the sxten
tive Clothing House Of n. NJ. Rogers 4 Co.
of New York. An active experience, so
extensive and diversified, can but give Mr..
wilhon material advantages in the pur-
chase OF Goods, which advantages the Gus
toners Of the New Firm will share. Ae-
quaintanee with the business, profits and
management Of the leading firms Of the
great cities mentioned above, can but carry
with II substantial aud invaluable knowl-
edge. Mr.. WilbOn enjoys this almost in
ealeulable advantage, and hence the New
Firm i strong where many are weak. We
heartily commend the New Firm TO the
public, confident in their personal and COM

Clearly Crazy.

A very touching case of mental aliena-
ton in charming young lady is de-
scribed by careful observer. Not long
ago her mother found her in her room
theoretically darning stockings, and
soon after she appeared i'll the kitchen
and assisted that wondering dame in
making and baking bread and pastry.
Alarmed by these fearful signs of in
tellectual disorder, her fond parents
Immediately sent for skillful physi-
clan, who watched her through key
hole while she sewed buttons on her
fathers garments and mended those of
her little brother. Much affected, the
venerable man remarked that never dur
ing medical practice of twenty-five
years had he known any young person
to manifest such symptoms as these.
The most heartrending phase of all,
however, was shown the other day, when
her kind father, with faint hope of
rousing her from her sad state, gave her
5000 and told her to buy dress. Alas |!
twas useless. She instantly observed
that she didn't need new dress, and if
he would let her keep $50 to pay poor
widows rent, she'd much rather he
would take the rest for himself. For a
few moments that grief-stricken old
gentleman gazed upon his hapless child,
then hiding his face, muttered between
his sobs "Her mind is gone Her
mind is gone '-Ne,O York Tribune.

Sir Samuel Bakers Mission.

Khartoum dispatches received in En-
gland bring the gratifying news that Sir
Samuel Bakers expedition has accom-
plished its twofold purpose. First, the
country as far south as the equator has
been annexed to Egypt secondly, the
slave trade has been suppressed. By
the former the Khedive's dream of a
great empire, with the Nile for it's CEN
trail highway, and stretching from the
Mediterranean to the Equatorial Lakes,
appears to be in fair way Of being
realized /; by the latter, the ardent de,
sire of Sir Samuel Baker to put down
the Infamous traffic in men promises to
be gratified, for he thinks that the only
hope for the civilization of these coun-
tries is in their annexation to the old
kingdom of the Pharaohs. Whenever
he wrote or spoke about his travels in
these splendid regions, his one regret
was that they should be cursed by the
slave trade. 1t was this, he believed,
which kept civilization at bay, and gave
over the interior of Africa to perpetual
barbarism. In his travels he had con-
ceived the idea of doing something to
suppress it, and it was with the hope of
success in this humane enterprise that
he undertook the command of the Khe-
dives expedition.
The annexation of the country as far
south as the equator to Egypt bids
fair to mark n new era in the history OF
Central Africa. Sooner or later the in.
exhaustible resources of that wonderful
region must be developed, and then the
thousand miles of that splendid rive,
which waters it will become what nature
intended them-the highway of the
trade and the civilization Of the con
tinent. Engineering science will re-
move the catafacts, civilization will
reduce the country on the banks to order
and beauty, and steamboats, will trave
from the Central Lakes to the Medi
terranean, and the very heart of Africs
will be put in direct and constant com
munication with iii the rest of tn,
world. 1t is impossible to look at tin,
Nile and its tributaries without believ
ing that in some future age it will b,
the great river of a civilized Africa
Inter- Ocean,
