More letters have been received
from the plucky and indomitable Afri-
can explorer, Stanley, and they throw
fresh light upon that almost unknown
country. Among the most interesting
of his discoveries is that of pale
faced race of evidently aboriginal
Africans, inhabiting the temperate
climate of the elevated slopes of the
great mountain Gambaragara. The
doughty explorer says that he has seen
some half dozen of these people !;
that they are handsome race, and
some of the women are exceedingly
beautiful; their hair is kipky. but in
clined to brown in color that they
nave regular features and thin lips !;
but that their noses though we'll
shaped are thick at the point. Du
Chaillu discovered the gorilla and the
tribe of dwarfs, aud it is only fair to
Mr.. Stanley that he has discovered
this race of pale-faced aborigiues. -
Africa is tsort of land of wonders,
and it is the bounden duty of every
new traveller to discover some fresh
one. 10 fact he must be but a poor
specimen of an African traveller who
does not. Mr. Stanley. therefore, has
only followed out the traditional rule.
and, according to military parlance,
must be ''obeyed and respected ac-
cordingly." Now if he can bring us
leopard who has changed it's spots,
all the better. Badinage aside, how
ever, SANKEY'S letters show him to be
fellow of infinite pluck and perse-
verance, and his story is told modest
ly and without any vainglorious self
laudation.--N Y. Express.

We understand that the Zukunft is

and notices OF the order are concern
ed, and no farther. The Turner's have
no control over its columns its editor
being perfectly independent as to his
political opinions and management of
his paper. But the result Of bis champ
ionship Of Tilden has been the con-
domination of his course by the Turn
ers of Cincinnati, Of Baltimore, of
Buffalo, Of St. Joseph and other large
cities. In these places they have
passed resolutions denouncing the
course Of the paper, and some have
ordered their papers stopped, although
paid for in advance. Leading Turner'S
predict that nine tenths of the order
will cast their votes for Hayes and
Wheeler, as the men best representing
their principles. They say they can
not consistently sustain the Jesuitical
principles of Tilden and his party.

A Wonderful Tree in Mexico.

-
About two miles from the City of
Mexico, at q little place called La Cuba,
is the old tree known in history as No
che Triste, under the branches of which,
tradition has it, Cortes gathered togeth-
er his little remnant of men on the sad
night he was attacked by the Aztecs and
driven from the city. 1t is at least a
remarkable old tree, and worth theride
to see for itself. It is a cypress, of a
variety that grows to an immense size
in this part of Mexico. It is more than
thousand years old, and about 10 feet
through at its base, and is gnarled and
twisted in a wonderful way. It en-
larges above,s at 10 feet from the earth
it is IA feet in diameter. At 20 feet it
divides into two immense trunks. Fire
was put to il few years since, and the
inner portion and largest upper trunk
mostly burned away. The lesser trunk
and shell will, however, live for ages.
Three years ago the Mexican Govern
ment put a handsome stone and iron
fence around it,so that no Vandal hand
can now touch it. Perhaps no object
about the city has for the reader of
Prescott greater charm than the old
tree of Noche Triste.- Cinci,s'sdti En-

4 Man Whose Heart Il not In the Right
Place.


A singular case has been developed
at Auburn, Ky. Young Order Perkins,
son Of I. o. Perkins, Of that place, has
been in feeble health for some time in
Louisville. Recently he came down to
his fathers, and, shortly after resching
there, was taken sick and had several
hemorrhages Of the lungs. DR.. Ratchet,
who was called on to attend him, found,
upon examination, that his heart had
left its natural abiding-place on the left
side of the thorax and was located on
the right. Its pulsations are most per-
ceptibly felt under the right nipple.
The case is not q new one to the medi-
cal fraternity, but its occurrence is SO
rare that but few ever see it, and the
causes which produce it are yet mys-
terry Ky Witness.

A NOVEL LAWSUIT.

Struxgle for the Possession OF Tape.
Worn Between the Original Producer
xand Two Medical Geatlemen. ~
from the ROchester Democrat and Chronicle.J
Some time ago Mr.. John Kelly, hav-
ing been troubled with tape-worm,
and having heard of the skill OF Drs.
Burner and Langworthy in capturing
such animals, called upon them and
stated his case The doctors gave him
all the assurances in the world that the
monster would yield to their arts, as
did the dragon to the spear of St.
George. They applied their remedies
and there was captured that which was
enough to kill any mana tape-worm
2574 feet long, as stated by the doctors.
Next day there was published in the
newspapers q notice to the effect that a
monster tape-worm had been taken
from Mr.. Kelly, that he had been suf-
fering from its intestinal devastations
for several years, that it had resisted
the skill of many physicians, etc. Such
feat and such q worm had never been
heard of before. It was q great medi-
cal triumph. 8 5,.s.ts. go.
MIR. Kelly saw these notices and was
inwardly incensed, although he did not
manifest his anger. He thought it had
been enough to pay $50 for a job which
any physician could have done; but il
was more than human nature could bear
to have his name published from Dan
to Beersheba without. his consent
With the spirit of hero he kept his an
ger to himself, and thought, if the doc
tors would let him alone, he would re
turn the compliment. But one day he
found q handful headed: !. A. Mon

The Hudson drew fourteen feet seven
inches when she passed through the
South Pass iettied channel; the tide
was at half ebb, Of six inches below
average high water. The Hudson, ac-
cording to the opinion of Mr.. Francis,
the pilot, would displace water and
bury herself fully nine inches when
moving within a side-walled channel at
her then velocity, and straight cutoff
channel of less than the crooked chan
mel depth was run.
Since January last, or within four
months, such a channel has been scour-
ed out, where, the depth was not more
than seven and a half feet then, and
this, too, at the food river period, when
at the other passes, as is generally
known and believed, the bars shoal up
and the utmost efforts are required by
dredging to maintain channel.
During this four months, it should be
remembered also, the jetties have been
in process of construction, and this
scour has taken place simultaneously
with the progress of the jetty work,
which is not yet completed SO far as te
bring into action the full forces OF the
confined currents.
Our sincere thanks are due to- Capt

to pioneer the way through South Pass

feeling of increased confidence in thu
jetties, which has been the result of hi
practical demonstration. ~ =

A Head Of Grass in Mans Lung.

One day during the haying season of
1875,s a son of Mr.. John Haner, who
lives some three miles from the village
of Sinclearville, while pitching off a
load of hay in the barn, in some way
drew full head of timothy grass into
one of his lungs. Attic moment he did
not, it seems, realize that he had drawn
so ugly foreign substance into the air
passage, being SO occupied, probably,
with his work that he had no thought
Of the grass head in his mouth. Soon
after, he was taken sick, and his physi-
clan pronounced his disease pneumonia
Ere long grave fears were entertained
that the young man was going into a
quick consumption. The symptoms of
phthisis were decidedly marked. The
expectoration was very copious.
To the surprise of many the sufferer
began to convalesce 50 that he was able
to be about. Recently, however. he
was taken worse, and on Thursday of
last week the head of grass, which had
been in the right lung so long, was
thrown out in paroxysm of coughing
Hopes are now entertained that, If the
lung has not undergone too much dis
organization, the young man viii re-
cover. The head of grass is in the pos
session of Drs. Harrison and Stevens,
of Sinclearville. It is two and one-hali
inches in length, and is not at all de-
composed by its Incarceration in the
lung of human being.-Bufalo Er-
