Popularity Of the Ported.

Various exchanges quote from some
unnamed exchange OF theirs the ap-
pended personal article, in which there
is just faint suspicion OF design to
sslirize that very familiar and not ex-
clusively provincial STYLE of journalism
which recognizes individual eminence
in almost any grade OF political desig-
nation:
We are pleased to learn that Mr.
William ?. Grimes has been appointed
TO the important and lucrative position
a. toll-taker on the Ridge turnpike.
Mr. Grimes was born al Roxborough
while vet quite an infant; and as it was
his fortune to have a mother before he
passed his childhood. his earlier years
were spent in acquiring knowledge and
getting spanked. The direction taken
by his opening mind encouraged his
tather TO afford him an opportunity
to discipline his vigorous intel
.ect with exercise al a saw

the range OF his intellectual vision was
TOO limited, he was elected conduct TOT

O'Brien; and there are old scientists
upon the tow-path who tell with adj
mlraton OF the original and startling
manner in which Mr. Grimes used u
twist a mules tale aud swear when any
one OF the animals needed encourage.

Sir s.mu., Whit. R.ker.

Sir Samuel White Baker. who it is
reported, has been murdered with his
wife during q journey in Africa. is one
OF England's most distinguished authors
and explorers, and has spent q great
portion of bis life in Asia and Africa.
With his brother, Col Baker. he under
took, in lS4S, the organization of an
extensive agricultural settlement in
Ceylon, of which country he gives an
interesting account in his Eight Years
Wanderings," published in 1855. In
1861 he set out on an expedition into
AFRICA in the hope of meeting Captains
Grant and Spoke at the sources OF the
Nile. Having explored the tributaries
OF the Atbars. he organized an expedl-
ton to the Great White Nile, which
started iD 1867 A, Gondoroke he en-
conntered Grant aud Spoke The lat
ter had been informed BY natives that
a large lake e1 sted in the west, which
was believed to be the source OF the
Nile. Spoke had traced the river
l-sding thereto as for a. deg. 20 min.
north, where it diverged to the west
and then relinquished the task. SIR
Samuel undertook the journey, accom-
panied BY his wife, and after months OF
travel, attended by many delays and
difficulties in procuring guides and
they sighted on the l4th OF
March, 1864, the lake which was the
object of their expedition and which Sir
Samuel named Albert N'Yanza, and
drank of it's water. This and the We
toria N'Yapza constitute two great
reservoirs OF the Nile. Sir Samuel
Baker was the author OF "The Rifle
and Hound in Ceylon." the Albert
\ Yapzs,' and other book travel.
