SIR SAMUEL BAKER, TIE AFRICAN Elk.
pLoRER.--A correspondent Of Sir Samuel
and Lady Baker in Paris, says;
Sir Samuel and Lady Baker,with their
nephew and some black servants, arrived
here this morning, en- route for London.
They will OILY stay few days in Paris.
The whole ofthem are in excellent health
and bear strong traces of exposure TO an
African sun [ have just had long
conversation with Sir Samuel Baker and
his gentle, though heroic, wife.
Sir Samuel speaks in warm praise Of
the Iiceroy, Cheriff Pacha, and Nuba
Pacha. The Viceroy. in his opinion, is
one hundred years ahead Of the people
he governs. He gives His Highncss the
fullest credit for a sincere desire to sup.
press the slave trade, and regards the
appointment Of British officer Colonel
Gordon) to be Sir Samuel's successor 10
command Of the expedition as strong
guarantee that the work begun two years
since will be honestly continued, Not.
withstanding the efforts of the Viceroy
and his two intelligent ministers to facili
tate Sir Samuel Bakers task, the people
interested in slavery managed to throw
serious obstacles in his way. He found
his first journey up the Nile,whe mere
tourist, more pleasant than the second
Africans and traders in human flesh could
not be urged into the belief that the fir
man prohibiting the slave trade was
drawn in singlencss of purpose. it being
in their view crafty device to incite Sill
Samuel to annex their territory. The
bearer of this decree took the creates
care to deal with the natives according t
the spirit OF English common law, ant
never allowed himself to be goaded By
their violence or treachery into undu,
severity Sir Samuel anticipates grea
commercial results from the creation o
the projected railway to Khartoum, tn
finest coffee growing district perhaps il
the world. The excellence of the climat
is proved by the fact that out of the 81:
soldiers who joined the expedition, onl.
one died in eighteen months, and he ha,
dropped into the rear at station wher
he could, when ill, obtain no medica
aid The mortality among the womel
and the different babies who came int
the world during that period was nil
Lady Baker proved herself most efiC
lent nurse in administering to the sick
and she and Sir Samuel Baker are great
ly amused at the legendary reputatio
which she has most wrongly and unde
servedly obtained for Amazoniap quail
ties, The fact Of the matter is, sh
braved danger and difficulty just as Lad
Harriet Auckland did during the Amer
can war of independence, in order to !
. with her husband in moments Of tria
and to attend to him should he be struc
: down with illness. Sir Samuel Bake
: intends, when he returns to England,
J bring out narrative of his last tw
years African experience.

the exclamation, and they all gathered

once there was a resurrection, the boys

Mrs, Bruin was good pugilist, and she
squared off at Kinney, who, just as he
was going to fire, got one leg into hole,

a LITTLE VERMONT RoMANcE.-We
find the following in Boston paper /:
About seventeen years ago an elderly
couple, while en- a visit to friends in Fair
fax, passed through the poorhouse at that
place, and among the inmates bright
their attention, and so favorably were
they impressed that they determined to
adopt her, to which the authorities readily
assented. All that was known OF her
history was the fact that she had been
left at the institution when a mere infant
by disreputable looking French Cana
dian couple. who Immediately left the
place and nothing subsequent was known
of them. The little girl apparently de-
lighted with her new.found friends, went
with them to their home in the northern
part Of the State, where she became to
them as their own child and shared the
love of the old couple equally with their
son, who was some three years older than
herself After a lapse Of some six years,
however, villaiuous looking man ap.
peared at the Fairfax Almshouse and de
manded the maiden he had left there SO
many years before, representing that he
was her father. The adopted parents
were at once informed of this demand and
determined to retain their adopted child
at all hazards, the girl vehemently pro.
testing that the man was not her father
although she could give no reason for hel
belief. One day, however, the man &C
companied by three associates, invaded
the quiet homestead, and forcibly carried
her away They were, however, pursued
by the old gentleman aud his son, who
traced them to Burlington, and through
the valuable assistance rendered by lady

a BUNGLING EXEcUTIoNER AND BIAS
PnEMous VIcrIM.-A fearful spectacle
took place, at Willamsport, Pa, at the
hanging Of Nelson Wade, for murder.
Wade was brought on to the scahold at
l o'clock, and while the officers were
making the preparations he broke out in
the most blasphemous language, telling
the jailer, among other things, to hurry
up as he had an appointment to dine in
he'll with the devil at > o'clock. He
said the only thing that troubled him was
whether the people he murdered are in
heaven or hell. AT lao o'clock the
drop was Knocked out and he was swung
off, but the rope was too long and his feet
struck squarely on the ground. In this
position he remained several minutes,
shouting, "Oh Lord, have mercy" when
the rope came off his neck and he fell
over ON to the ground His body was
carried again upon the scaffold and after
a long delay in shortening and arranging
the rope, the drop was again pulled. The
rope had been made SO short that he fell
this time less than three feet, and his
pulse continued to beat for seven minutes.
After hanging II minutes he was placed
in coffin and taken charge Of by his
friends. Pieces Of the rope were cut of
and carried away as relics BIZ spectators

CONDITION OF TIE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL.
RoAD.-The suspension of the Texas and
Pacific railroad construction company
operates to weaken the confidence in the
Pennsylvania railroad, as the officers and
capitalists of the former are prominent
in the latter. The stock Of the Penn
sylvania railroad has declined 5 per cent
since Monday. 1t is now reported that
the 5 per cent sem.annual dividend on
the latter company will not be passed,
but will scrip instead of cash The Off
