STANLEY IN AFRICA Trsucasy7J orfhe VI
Iires-H. NJ. Stanley, the commander OF the
New York Herald and London Telegraph
expedition In Central Africa, forwa-as
aCother letter from tnat country. L. is
mostly taken mp with records OF expIora-
lions, and does not contain much matter OF
the interesting nature previously reported.
MY STANLEY states that at one point his
rarity experienced treachery aud hostility on
the part Of the natives While sailing
quietly near the shore, exchanging Friendly
greetings with them, his party was suddenly
attacked with shower OF large rocks seve-
raj OF which struck the boat; but the helm
being quietly put "hard up" they sheered
rom shore 10 safer distance, but not before
one OF the natives was laid dead hy a shot
rom one OF Stanley's revolvers At another
point. while bargaining for some provisions.
the natives began TO lay hand on everything.
Upon being warned away they jeered and Inn
meuisteiy seized their spears and shields,
while one canoe FASTENED away with some
beads they bad stolen. and which q man in
solently held up TO view. Mr.. Stanley SAYS
AT this he fired and the man fell dead in his
canoe. The Others prepared 10 launch their
spears, but the repeating rife was too much
for the warriors, and three were shot dead on
the spot, whilst the Others beat a hasty re-
treat

GUEssEs AT THE AsroR EsTATE-The
sun does not believe that the value of the
Astor estate is over $40 900 COO. Ofcourse no
OUTSIDER can establish the fact that IN Is an
nderesumate, but the probabilities are in
Snat ulrectlon. IL is known that 1000
buildings are owned by the estate How
many more, the taxes on which are paid bv
the lessees, ought to be fnclu led in the in
yentory, we do not pretend 10 guess Rpt
these 1000 buildings, alone, must be esfI-
mated at FAR higher value than that set
Dy the sun Tor the total estate. Few OF the
Astor houses are worth less than $4,000
apiece A very large number OF the up town
houses are worth from $40 600 10 $50 600 each
The Astor House is worth between two and
three millions. One OF the A stor stores, oc-
cupled by Halsted, Haines & Co, used to rent
for $4,000 year. How many other stores,
worth from nifty To two or three hundred
thousand dollars apiece are owned nv fhe eS .
tate, we have no means of knowing. But IL
is evident that all of the Astor buildings of
thls city would average as much as $50 900

channel Will soon be begun. The members
OF the French commission, COMPOSED for the
most part OF practical men and engineers
declare that an underground communication
between England and France is only a cues

belief that the project can be carried out
with less expense than was at first imagined
and that the danger OF leakage and infiltra-
ton Will not be SO great as was originally
supposed. A shaft will shortly be sunk on

Rel, aged fourteen years, a daughter of Mr.
John Merkel, then residing at Ieesport Pa .
while crocheting accidentally swallowed a
shawl-pin, an inch and three-auarters long

was sent for. but the pin could not be recoy-
erec. III mad lodged in one of the lungs, and
eventually much Inflammation ensued,
which was followed by a chronic cough, at
tended with considerable expectoration. On
wednesday night last she was attacked with
severe coughing spell which nearly suffo
Gated her, when suddenly a hard substance
was elected from her mouth which fell on the
floor. This was picked up and found 10 be a
piece OF shawl-pin, with the head, swal-
lowed year ago. Shortly after she was
seized with another coughing spell aud the
rest OF the pin was thrown from the lung
The pin had been divided by corrosIon.

AN AMUSING CASE came before the Paris
tribunal recently. An audaclous young thief
Wen known to the police, was charged with
having stolen property 10 the value of sew
eral hundred pounds from a shop in the Rue
Nillejust. Putting on an injured and inno-
cent expression OF countenance, he coolly OF
lered the ingenious defence that he was pass
ing by the shop In question when be saw pla-
carded all over the windows that ssevery-
thing inside was TO be had for nothing" He
thereupon entered, and, loading himself with
some lew articles, he decamped. and was
much astonished 10 find himself pursued by
a policeman. The magistrate dismissed the
case, but administered a strong caution TO
the prisoner TO beware OF such Invitations TO
plumber for the future, telling him that such
advertisements generally meant two per
cent of the selling price.
