Stdnley's 1rarels.

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that II. NJ. Stanley has
escaped the tender mercles of the Congo
savages only to endure furious on slaught
from their English friends. While Italy was
hanging medals around his neck. and France
putting palm branch into his hands, Eng
land was calculating how many niggers he
had needlessly shot, the president of the geo
graphical society was writing to the papers to
contradict the report that the Albert hall had
been taken for public meeting in his honor.
and what was called the humanitarian party
was rearing its head once more. Sir Ruther-
ford Alcock. its president is man of peace,
and for while seemed disposed to make
any sacrifice rather than risk disturbance.
It was under the influence of this feeling he
wrote the note mentioned above. Presently.
however,, a better spirit showed itself. Other
members began to make themselves heard.
The British love of fair play asserted itself
as 1t did before. when a concerted effort to
break down Stanley had to be abandoned in
Difference to the Indignation of the people.
meeting of the council took place, and it
was resolved that public meeting should
be held. under the direction of the society,"
at which Stanley should be invited to give an
account OF his travels and discoveries. and a
dinner should be given in his honor at Willis
rooms by the council. at which the fellows of
the society and their friends might be present
The dates of these two ceremonies remain TO
! be fixed. 1t was settled also that if the
hunanitarians should attempt to disturb the
the meeting, they should be told by the
president that they were out of order; that
society was assembled for geographical pur-
poses; and, if they desired to offer a protest
against Mr.. SANKEY'S proceeding in respect
OF the Africans, it would be open TO them to
convene meeting of their own for that
purpose. The minority which asssils Stanley
has access to the columns of one or two
newspapers Of some consequence. Some
part of the animosty which pursues Mr.
Stanley seems to be due TO his American ma
tionahty. There is a set of people who as
sumo he is English when credit is to be
claimed for his discoveries. and American
when oboquy is to be fastened on him for
the alleged cruelties. An elaborate indict-
ment appears against the leading Tory organ:
none the less an Indictment because it puts
on the grab of an impartial suspense of judg-
ment, and contains an appeal to the geo
graphical society to arraign and try him. 1t
says Mr.. SANKEY'S American experience and
relations were not likely to render his regard
for the lives of hostile barbarians particular
y sensitive or scrupulous.

The Co1.1fding .Man

A solitary lady was going up town on
horse car, yesterday, smiling as If she
believed all the world ct peace, when
man with handkerchief bound around his
head got abroad and sat opposite her.
He doubtless felt that some explanation
should be made for his appearance, and
he suddenly said:
"Madam, was not run over by a
butcher-cart."
She made no reply, and he presently
continued:
"And didn't fall down stairs
She looked out Of the window as if she
didn't care whether he had gone down
through abridge or been blown up. He
moved around uneasily, and then whis-
pered:

look thinsand weak and pale, and don't

"Will you mind your business;' called

want to tell this lady how she can wallop

the driver, as he Topped his lines over the

"Keep jawing back till you get hold

"Then carefully sneak along and sneak

He was off the car by that time. He

That Ghenherd-Rou

Little Roy led his sheep down to pasture,
And his COWS by the side of the brook;
But his cows never drank any water,
And his sheep never needed crook.
For the pasture was gay as a garden,
And it glowed with flowery red;
But the meadows had never grass-b blade,
And the brooklet-it slept in its bed;
And it lay without sparkle or murmur,
Nor reflected the blue of the skies,
But the music was made by the shepherd,
And the sparkle was all in his eyes.
Oh he sang like bird in the summer!
And if sometimes you fancied a bleat,
That too, was the voice of the shepherd,
And not of the lambs at his feet.
And the glossy brown cows were SO gentle
That they moved at the touch of his hand
Der the wonderful rosy red meadow,
And they stood at his word of command.
So he led all his sheep to the pasture,
And his cows, by the side of the brook;
Though it rained yet the rain never patter'd
DER the beautiful way that;they took.
And it wasn't in Fairy-land either,
But house in commonplace town,
Where Roy as he looked from the window
Saw the silvery drops trickle down.
For his pasture was only table,
With its cover SO iowery fair,
And his brooklet was just green ribbon
That his sister had lost from her hair.
And his cows they were glossy horse-chestnuts
They had grown on his grandfather's tree
| And his sheep they were snowy-white pebbles
He had brought from the shore Of the sea
And atlength, when the shepherd grew wear,
-
And his mother had kissed him and tucket
| him,
And had bid him "good-night' in his bed.
Then there enter'd his big brother Walter,
/ While the shepherd was soundly asleep,
And he cut up the cows into baskets
/ And to jack-stones turned all of his sheer
st. Nicholas for February.

Where to Sell Good Butter.

In talking with a person who had been
grocer, we heard the following remark
in answer to the question. "Why do you
not make more difference in the price of
butter taken in from the farmers?" We
cannot DO it, twill not work. Nothing
will offend a woman quicker than to tell
her that her butter is not frst-class. If
we tell her the butter is poor, she will sell
it somewhere else, and she will trade
where she sells her produce. To keep
her trade, I must buy her butter. So it
is often customary to pay about the same
price for all grades of butter offered in

looked up-not even when his foe spurned
him with his foot. He only sang on, and
awaited his fate. The half-breed bent
his head and spat down ON the crouching
Sioux, and turned leisurely away a
crueller revenge than it hehad shot him
dead.

AYew Words About pr. David Kennedy.

Taken from the Rondom ". I. Duly ffseman
 While Dr. Kennedy has proved him. self an excellent physician, and discover ed the most valuable medicine ever offer cd to an afflicted public, it must not be forgotten that he deservedly stands sec ond to none in this country as surgeon" "
 For instance, we would cite the case of Mr. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen Ulster Co.,, N. r., who had suffered for more than TWENTY years from the pain incident to disease involving the great CT portion of the left thigh bone, and dur tng all this time he had been kept in ;blissful ignorance by the many doctors who had treated him of the real cause of his suffering. He often expressed to the author of this article that he had not ex- . psrlenced the pleasure of one whole nights sleep in twenty years. Although a,cripplc. and suffering pain and the in- convenience of carrying an almost useless llmb, he has required q competency far beyond what most of men would have done under similar circumstances. MT. Ellsworth was induced to consult Dr, Kennedy, who at one realized the situa- tlon, and plainly and frankly told the SuHeTer that lne ulSGdSe Hit'i So ldT i'l- vanced toward the body that nothing was left for him to do but to submit to ampu :, tAtion of the leg. Consequently on the 18th of May, 1871. in presence of, and by khe assistance of several medical gentle men, Dr. Kennedy amputated the leg, about three inches below the hip joint. The bone was found to be perfectly rot ten from one end to the other, and thus proved the correctness of Dr. kcnnedy's diagnosis. Mir. Ellsworth made rapid recovery, and remains to this day the perfect picture of health.
 >' Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the happy result of this and other cases of similar character was due to the uss of the Fayorite Remedy. It was this medicine that purified the blood. It was this that regulated the liver and kidneys, and thus gave tone and strength to the system which had become facilitated by the disease, and in this way preventing a return of the disease which neceSsitated 80 dangerous an operation.
