STANLEY HEARD FROM.

London, September 17th.-The Telegraph
publishes dispatch from Stanley, the Afri-
can explorer, dated Enfbomma in Congo, on
the west coast of Africa, August 10th He
states that he had completely navigated the
Lualuaba, and succeeded in proving it to be
identical with the Congo Dispatch
This, we suppose, settles the question con-
corning the navigability of the Lualuaba 1t
will float Mr.. Stanley. Therefore it is not a
mere imaginary black streak on the map of
Africa. For great many centuries there has
been good deal of ignorance about the lay
of the land in that part of the African Con-
tinent which lies between the Cape of Good
Hope and the Desert of Sahara. Some peo-
pie have known good deal about it, doubt
less, but they have never been disposed to be
communicative. We refer to the ladies and
gentlemen who knew Uzzifuzzi before it re-
ceived that euphonious name, and ished and
picnicked about the shores of the Victoria
Nyanza when that lake was simply resort
for appropriateness and native duck hunters.
Now Central Africa exists (since Liyingston's
death) mainly as q background to bring in
ICllCI ca plOlLS VI OIduley anu dufeI-
tise the Herald. He has had that vast area
of forests and lakes and rivers, it's geography,
its native tribes, its chills and fever, and its
abundent vermin all to himself for many
glorious months. He is lord of all he surveys
automatically and otherwise. Now We
must confess that we do not take much inter
est in Africa. We don't care, honestly where
the White Nile rises or where it does not rise;
we have but very small liking for the native
acquaintance made by Mr.. Stanley; and we
should not mourn a minute, nor drop single
tear if he were to marry some old man eaters
whole family of girls and then roast EN- and
have EN- for a diplomatic dinner. 1t is
amazingly easy to become very conspicuous
object. Here is Stanley, white man, drop
ped, singly and alone right in the heart of
black Africa He is like a small white chalk
mark on great big Blackboard or like
a pigeons egg in charcoal heap. He is
glaringly conspicuous, and we suppose he is
happy; for, with the Herald itch for noteriety,
he seems to have gone to Africa in order to
be very, very, very famous; and there he is.
He needn't come back to America on our
account

The manners of American females in Eu-
rope are constant subject of comment and
criticism by the letter writers. Mrs Munson
in letter to the Independent says that wo-
men who profess Christianity attend the Sun
day evening entertainments in Germany and
France. The inclination to do as others do
leads them astray. They crowd to see the
great annual horse race for the Prix de Paris,
which is always run on Sunday. Worse than
that, they generally visit such places as the
Jardin Mabille, and Mrs. Munson says: cit
is stated in Paris that the principal supporters
of these resorts are American ladies and gen.
tlemen, who patronize them merely out of
curiosity, and that no reputable French lady
would ever be seen entering the portals. 1--WE
know that only the outcasts of our own soci-
ety. 1 was told, ever mingle in such scenes;
and you must accept the verdict of the CEN
sors if you are found among those people
The person with whom 1 was conversing is
warm friend of our nation, a prominent writer
and statesman" Mrs. Munson says, too,
that American women are the worst gamblers
at Monaco.

Concerning missing man, upon whom it
is suspected was put some foul play, the Ward
Reflex of Thursday says: We learn from A
B. Harvey that he requested Ed. Raum to
telegraph Walker Bros of Salt Lake, con-
corning George Doane, former resident of
Ward, who left Osceola over month ago for
Salt Lake, for the purpose of purchasing goods
of that house. Mr.. Raum received an an
swer and forwarded it to Mr.. Harvey, which
was to the effect that George Doane had not
been seen in Salt Lake Fears that might
have been considered groundless before have
developed into real causes of alarm Up to
Tuesday last Mr. Doane had not returned to
Osceola. 1t is now known that the parties in
company with whom he left Osceola were not
of character calculated to inspire confidence
as to the rectitude of their intentions One
of the number was relative of the notorious
Bill Hickman. As to those who made up the
rest of the company we are not advised, but
certain it is that George Doane has not been
heard from since leaving Osceola If it can
not be established that he arrived at York, it
naturally follows that those who accompanied
him from Osceola should be able to account
for his disappearance.

IDAHO BILL.

Concerning this noted desperate the Eure-
ka Sentinel of Sept 10 says: Among the re-
cent escapes from the Salt Lake Territorial
Prison was Idaho Bill, fellow who fourished
quite extensively through this part of the
country and down in the neighborhood of
Phoebe some three or four years ago He
was interested in numerous stage robberies,
and one time, in connection with two or
three birds of the same feather, captured a
station on the Phoebe and Salt Lake road,
sent word to the authorities that he intended
to hold it against any force that they might
send out against him, and extorted a note of
81 900 from the station keeper, an old man
of some property. 1t is well enough to men
ton that the note was never collected In
spite of his threatened slaughterings, Eugene
Blair went from Phoebe, single-handed, and
gathered in the vain barggart, took him to
Salt Lake, and by his efforts landed him in
the Territorial Prison, to which place he was
sentenced to term of ten years. At last &C
counts none of the escaped prisones had been
recaptured, and it is probable that they will
work their way down into Arizona, out of
the reach of the law.

Footpads are at work at Eureka. Says the
Sentinel of Friday: "Footpads are getting
bold and numerous. Last evening man by
the name of Dunn, while on his return trip
to Ruby Hill was knocked down and robbed
of watch and small sum of money. He
described his assailant as tall, black whis-
kered individual, possessed of a gruff voice
and "taking" ways. The same night Tom
McArdie, engineer on the Ruby Hill Railroad
while vending his way toward the depot, was
accosted by couple of suspicious looking
FOUNDERS who had followed him from the
Barbara Coast. The lurid glare from Stag
pot that was being emptied of it's contents on
the Consolidated dump at that moment
revealed to the would-be highwaymen an omi-
nous looking pistol in TOMS hand, and they
Immediately took to flight without putting
their larcenous intentions into operation. A
dose of cold lead would have very soothing
effect on some of those gentry, and the COM
munity would not regret their loss.

When the war between Germany and
France was waging, Hon. Elihu Washburne
was the United States minister at the French
Capital His services in behalf of the Ger
man residents of Paris are well and widely
known. Lately he has been in Berlin, an
swering an invitation from the German En-
peror. Of the manner of his reception their
the Herald says Our Berlin correspondent
tells the pleasant story of the ELUSIVE good
will of the German Court toward Mr.. Wash
bourne, lately our Minister to Paris, and how
the Kaiser and ''Unser Fritz" and the iron
Chancellor and everybody else, catching their
cue from those above, made themselves very
agreeable to the simple citizen in recognition
countrymen in the beleagured French capital
during the Franco German war 1t is
pleasant story to read, for Washburne's sue
cess in the case referred to was due to those
sterling qualities of head and heart that con-
stitute him typical American, and the
Americans cannot but be gralifed at a COM
pliment which reaches so widely as to take in
the very nature of the American people. No
body would be greatly dissatisfied if the in
convenient law which prevents the acceptance
of the gifts the Emperor wishes to bestow on
Mr.. Washburne were not in The way on
this occasion; yet We cannot object to having
the German Empire our debtor on score of
friendly and fraternal relations, and for that
reason may well be satisfied that the Empe-
ror cannot discharge in trinkets an amiable
obligation

The Child Of Mormonism.

Hiram II. Eldridge, the young man
who stopped a day or two in this city,
some two weeks ago, and whom we
mentioned as a child of Mormonism,
tramping out of ignorance and sin, has
arrived at Glenwood. Iowa, and begun
lecturing. He writes his tramp ex-
p%erience to the Salt Lake Tribune. At
Sidney he sold some pens, and paid his
fare to the next station. On board the
train he found the Camp Douglas sol
diers en- route for Omaha. The officers,
having read his story in the Tribune,
ordered the "boys"t to ''shin" the young
man through, and Immediately he was
metamorphosed into a corporal, and
thus reached Omaha in the guise OF a
bold soldier boy.

A GRAND COUNTRY.

One of the greatest curiosities on the
continent is the Big Horn canon where
the Big Horn river breaks through the
mountains, and when it is known il
will rival the famous canon of the Col.
orado. 1t is about sixty miles long, as
nearly as can be ascertained from those
who have seen most of it; but it is not
likely that any one has seen its whole
length yet. Old Bridger, the trapper
and guide, has been through a part of
it in a boat, and tells many marvellous
stories Of its wonders and dangers, and
in 1867 Mackenzie, the adventurous
frontiersman, saw a good deal of it in
attempting to run timber through, for
the use Of the fort on the Big Horn, but
he came to grief, losing his timber,
which lodged IN the rocks, and wreck
ing himself and companions, with a
loss of everything but their arms. The
cafon is more than a half mile high
in many places and varies in width, like
all breaks in the mountains, being
narrow in some places and in others
very wide. 1t is one of the most pic
turesque spots imaginable; its perfect
seclusion gives it an air of mystery,
and the slight sense of awe which
creeps over n in threading its wild
paths is not lessened by the sight of an
occasional grizzly.
The chief beauty of the canon is in
the multiform shapes taken by rock and
tree and foliage. The rocks take every
shape imaginable; turrets, spires,
minarets, towers, and natural bridges.
The timber overs the slopes, some
times from the bank of the river to
where the top breaks abruptly against
the sky and beautiful streams Irvine
themselves around the rude masses of
rock until one can often fancy he sees
the old ruins of an abbey with an Eng
lish ivy creeping over it. Whatever
there is of beauty in the widest scenes
of nature, in the massive granduer of
rock, in the grace of vines and foliage,
and the charm Of running water, is
furnished by this lovely canon. When
the railroad between Cheyenne and
Bozeman is completed this wonderful
region will be easily accessible, and
the grand canon of the Big Horn,
and the Yellowstone National Park,
will be the great summer resorts of
America.
