Here is a.poet who says "I'm
sitting sadly on the strand, that
stretches to the waters brink and
as the day slips slowly by, l idly
fold my hands and think" Whilst
he is sitting on the strand with idle
folded hands, his family at home
may be suffering for the necessaries
of life. He should skirmish around
before the day slips slowly by,and
secure a job at digging cellar.

Indian housekeeping Is at once very
simple and paradoxically complex. The
fact that all servants are on board wages,
from the moonshee, who takes tempo
rary engagement as secretary or tutor,
down 10 the humblest punkah, wallah or
grass-cutter, renders il comparatively easy
for a master TO know his expenses. But
then there Is something bcwildering in the
subdivision of labor, in having TO harbor
tailors and cobblers, washermen and
watchnen, and florists and sweepers. IL
il perplexing TO find that every servant so
well knows his or her place that palki-
bearer would scorn to fetch pitcher o.
water; that hereditary poultry-keepcrs att
tend the hens, hereditary grooms the
horses, and that not meal can be cooked
or carpet spread except by the agency OF
somebody whose caste points him out as
the appropriate person TO perform the
duty. An English resident, also, is apt to
be puzzled by the habit Of the native do
nestle, strange to our notions. of collect
ing around them clan of relatives, old
and young, more or less dependent forsus-
tenance on the monthly wages OF the
bread winner. These followers" like
others of their plastic race, are by no
means obtrusive, and are content TO be
tucked away in sheds or huts, or 10 lie
about the passages of some rambling villa,
while pipkin of grain and spoonful Of
ghee comprises, with little cloth, their few
wants. Servants In India have two mer-
its to counterbalance such faults as are In
herent In n race remarkable for the subtle
ingenuity with which, on occasion, it can
cheat and lie. They are grateful, not
merely for exceptional kindness, but for
the bread and salt that they have eaten;
and breach Of trust Is abhorrent to even
the elastic conscience of Hindoo, so that
the very man who takes the lead in plum
dering the sahib's store.room, when pit
ting his wits against the duller fancy of
his European employer, may be rendered
honest by being appointed dragon or

stanley's Explorations In Africa.

Egw YORK, Nov. 10.
The HeraM publishes this morning q
Geographic synopsis Of letters received In
London from Stanley. He says DIR,
Livingstone was wrong In reporting that
the Victoria Nyanza consisted OF five
lakes. Spoke correctly states that Victoria
Nyanza Is one lake, but speke's two
islands are peninsulas. The River Shi'
meeyu Is the principal feeder OF the lake
and EXTREMIST source Of the Nile yet dis
covered.
Stanley had several conflicts with slave.
dealers on the lake. On one occasion he
was attacked by 100 natives armed with
spears, In thirteen canoes, who were re-
pulsed after severe fight. Three natives
were killed.
He arrived at the Utesal hunting-camp
ut Nisayura April i2, where the King di.
rected extraordinary festivities and dis.
plays. One feature was anaval review on
the lake Of eighty four canoes, manned by
900 men. On the second day, in add
ton 10 the naval maneuyers, there were
races In which eighty-four canoes were
engaged, each propelled by thirty oars
men, the King leading the flee: personal.

lockers, including the 800 wives Of the
King. On the third day there was bird.
shooting and target-practice by 5000
troops, and on the fourth day he returned
10 Mtesas, the capital. This King has
1900, 900 subjects. He Is n Mussulman
has great intelligence, and his dominion
affords the best augury for the possible
civilization of Africa.
