out about $40 feet Of the n, K. 4 T. track.
Mr. Sullivan, Superintendent, arrived 1t
the vashout shortly aftsrwssi, and 1t once
proceeded to have = larss Aat boat con-
srncted Tor the purpose Of transporting the
passengers and baggage across tie stream.
Many Of the Panengsss o. tain No. 2 were
anxious TO continue their jaarney. but the
sea Of watess to be crossed caused them 10

that he would see them safely over, and

"a tow-line was attached to il, which vas
taken by number Of men, whs walked on
the track, while Mr.. Sullivan, with crew,
commenced the difficult task Of plotting
the boat through the madIy rushing waters.
Hundreds Of spectaton stood On the banks
anxiously gazing at the boat With her fear

when the men With the rope reached the
point where The track vas under water and
the current very strong. The tov-lins vas
but thread, it seemed, in the current; the
men were poverleas tO hold IL, and the
Great Republic, with her gallant Commo-
dore and crew, were swept down the stream,
unable to pi:os her, although they Eade
every effort to keep their craft in safe
waten. Down. down they went, until the
woods hid them from the view Of tie spec
tators who lined the banks Of the river.
Bets were made that they would never
reach their destination, but after founder.
ing around in the woods for an hour or
more, the boat and her noble crew appeared
in view. Being out Of the curzent, they
now made rapid headvay, and W. safely
landed, amid the chsen Of the spectators at
the train, which stood waiting to receive
the load on the opposite side Of ths river.
On her return to port again, Capt. Rogers
vas placed in command, and il vasdecided
10 convey the women and children on this

The crowning Discovery.

No discovery that this won
derful man has ever previously
made. and they have all been
great, is such triumph as his
last-namely, the discovery of
the sources of the Congo and the
Nile. \ x = The eyes of the en-
tire world have been looking to-
ward Africa since the hour when
Stanley solved the mystery of
the fate of Livingstone, and his
last achievement most fittingly
crowns many years of ceaseless
and dangerous work. There has
been another world, too, more
circumscribed than the great
world about us, that has follow
ed Stanley as he fought, and
starved, and struggled to reach
the sea-the world of journalism.
The results that the explorer
has accomplished appear almost
as miraculous, and there IS not a
journalist to-day who, as he
reads what brother journalist
has accomplished, should not
feel prouder of his profession
than he ever did before. 1t was
journalistic pluck, journalistic
manhood, journalistic courage
and enterprise that plunged into
the realms of an uncivilized and
barbarous country, and brought
back to the world of thought and
scienee and letters the secret
mysteries of its mountains, it's
lakes and it's rivers. The entire
scheme was conceived by James
Gordon Bennett, who is himself
a journalist, and it has been sue
cessfully carried out to a most
glorious termination by Henry
NJ. Stanley, who has been a
journalist all his life. The tri-
umph, therefore, belongs to- the
proprietor Of the Herald and to
Mr.. Stanley IN particular, and
must in all time future be regard
ed as the most signal victory of
the American press.-Me,eark

BY ATLANTIC CABLE.

PARIS, Oct. at was rumored
last night that Duke de Broglie and
NJ. Berthol had resigned from the
French cabinet. This report for the
present at least is unfcunded, but
the alarm which it created was very
remarkable. Apprehension of a
forcible coup d'etat by the govern
ment is so great here that the resig-
nation Of Duke de Broglie and GER
tain of his colleagues who are
known to be opposed to such meas
ures, would be considered as pre-
face to violation of law, though it
is hard to tell in whose interests
such a violation would be. The
Empress disapproves of the govern
ment's course since the 10th of May
last. The prince imperial is also
said to have lately expressed disap-
proval to an interviewer. He said
he would not throw impediments in
the way of the regular government.
It is certain that the option of the
cabinet itself is divided. Some of
its members think of coup dforce
in case of defeat at the elections.
Others, and non Bonopartist con
seryatives contemplate dissolution,
but the senate will not support a
dissolution simply to help the gov
ernment.
A letter published from the Re
publican committee for promoting
Crews candidature for the chamber
of deputies in the ninth arrondisse
ment, formally nominates Grevy for
the place occupied by Theirs, the
head Of the French Democratic party
and leader of 1868.
Victor Hugo is honorary and
Gambetta acting post Republican
