l
the Court OF King who Eafs
n Baby Every Day.
There have ever been traditions of
strangely-formed tribes of human
beings dwelling IN Central Afri-
ca. That unknown region has been
peopled by fancy and fable with tailed
men, hideous hybirds, half human ard
half bestiai, dWsrfs and giants. Travel
ers who have plunged inko It have had
their stories of discovery met With cool
incredulity. It was years before Du
Chaillu could convince people that the
gorilla was not myth. When the ami
mails existence was definitely establish
ed, it was thought by many to account
for the stories of men with tails. A
truer explanation has been given by the
explorations of DR.. Schweinfuerth, the
German Livingstone. This intrepid
1868 to 1871 IN the heart of Africa.
One of the tribes he reached was the
Bongo. All its male members wear an
animals tail. fastened by a string tied
round the middle of the body. This
explains the fable of the tailed men as
fully as a man on horseback explains
the myth of the centaurs. The most
curious of DR.. Schweinfuerth's discov-
cries was yet to come. Throughout
his long journey he had heard of pig
mics that lived near the equator. They
were never over three feet tall, said his
Nubian servants, and they wore boards
tat reached to their knees. They we're
skilled elephant hunters, creeping un-
der the animals and killing them with
-stabs from below. They were in great
demand as court buffoOns. The explOr-
er put little faith IN these stories, think
ing that seeing was better than hearing.
Finally he saw. At the court of a can
nibal king, who ate baby daily, he
found several pigmies. They were very
shy, and kept out of his way for several
days. At length his servants caught
one. ST looked up, surprised st the
shouting, says the traveller, ''and there,
sure enough, was the strange, little
creature, perched upon Mohammed's
right shoulder, nervoUsly huggiDg his
head, and casting glances of alarm In
every direction" The wee man was
soon pacihed. He was the chief of
quite a large settlement near by. DR..
Schweinfuerth afteFward measured a
number of these dwarfs. The tallest,
full-grown men, were not over four feet
ten inches. They said that great tribes
of their fellows lived Just north of the
equator. They are amiable, affection
ate, and quite Intelligent. DR.. SchWe1n-
fuerth considers them to be closely al
lied to the Bushmen of South Africa.
He bought one of them, Neswue, for a
dog, but kept him only eighteen months.
At that time he died of over-eatiRg-
surely q very civilized way of shutting
of the mortal coil, for did not the ''irst
gentleman in Europe" to whom Sir
Walter Scott played hunky, die from
the same cause? q? Neswue's fate is less
to be regretted, inasmuch as two of his
kindred are now en- route for Italy.
They are to be placed IN charge of the
chronological society at Florence.

Having Moral Courage.

Moral courage is a big thing;
The good papers advise everybo-
dy to have moral courage. All
the aImanacs wind up with a word
about moral courage. The Rev.
Murray, and the Rev. Collyer, and
the Rev. Spurgeon, and lots OF
other Reverends tell their con-
gregation to exhibit moral eour-
age in daily life. Moral courage
doesn't cost a cent; everybody can
fill up with it until he can't eat
half a dinner after going without
breakfast.
"Have the courage To discharge
8 debt while you have the money
In your pocket" is one Of the
moral paragraphs.
Mr. Move read this once, and

day his wife handed him five
dollars, which she had been two
years saving and asked him 10

OF CATERS. On the way down he
met creditor and had the moral
courage to pay him. Returning
home his wife called him I56, 900
names, such as a "fool," "idiot,"
ETC., and then struck him four
times in the pit OF the stomach
with a fiat iron. After that he

Putty comes In and wants a

a NOBLE PROPOSITION.

Seldom have our better feelings been so
touched, and our sense of right more enlisted,
than on reading the communication of Mrs.
Flagg, in the Daily Journal Of last Saturday.
Having generously proposed to give ten thou
sand dollars for the establishment of an In.
dustrial School for the education and safety
of friendless and unfortunate class of young
girls, she has right to be heard as to her OBJ
servation of the workings of such institutions
in other States. Most clearly and convinc-
ingly she presents the facts bearing on this
important subject. Some persons in the spirit
of the Levite and the Priest of "olden times"
towards the wounded Samaritan, ''passing by
ON the other side" may say that these unfor-
tunate little girls should be cast into the Jail
or poor house, and that the State should not
extend to them the saving hand. But this is a
very heartless as we'll as unwise view of the
matter. The overwhelming testimony of
facts and experience is to the import that,
thrusting these young girls into Jail only
makes them worse, and when they are liberat-
ed from confinement there is no door of well
come and encouragement open to them, but
those which lead to vice and crime. The
poor house affords them no place Of isolation
and careful training. The Orphan Asylum is
not open to them, nor is it fitting that they
should seek a refuge there.
Experience both in Europe and the United
States conclurively proves that this class of
young girls are more easily reformed than
boys, and the reformation of a girl and the
placing her in useful employment is of more
importance than the reformation of boy.
II there 10 any wisdom and humanity in es.
tablishing institutions for the insane, the deaf
the blind, and the dumb, and a Reform School
for boys, on what principle of equity, benev.
olence, or fsir-play, 10 assistance withholden
from the unfortunate little girls who have no
fitting relatives to take care of them? Many
hundreds of thousands Of dollars have been
voted to endow colleges, academies, high
schools, and hospitals where the children of
the wealthy a. we'll as those of moderate cir.
cumstances are educated and armed for the
battle of life. Will any who have shared the
bounty of these institutions, coldly deny any
succor to the unfortunate little girls who have
none to send them to seminaries and colleges,
or to keep them from the agencies and in
fuences OF infamy, which stand ready to turn
t"ese Asuc o"es i"so PtoiiHc sources oI efil
and public expense?
Possibly some friends of other institutions
may think it q safe policy 10 vote against en-.
dowing the Industrial School for Girls al
present. Possibly they may deem it polite
to ding away the $l2, 800 already offered lby
three generous persons and await the chance
of future years TO care for the most defenceless
class OF the community. A very grave error
