Getting Back to White People.

In Mr. Stanley's forthcoming record of
his African travels he thus describes his
impressions on drawing near the west
coast and seeing white faces for the first
time in many long months;
We had gradually descended some five
hundred feet along declining spurs when
we saw scattered string of hammocks
appearing, and CLEANS of startling white
ness, such as were given by fine linen and
twils. A buzz of wonder ran along our
column. Proceeding little further we
stopped, and in n short time | was face
to face with four white-ay, truly white
men! AS | looked into their faces
blushed to find that | was wondering at
their paleness. Poor pagan Africans
Rwoma and Dzinji, and man eating tribes
of the Livingstone. The whole secret of
their wonder and curiosity flashed upon
me at once. What arrested the twanging
bow and the deadly trigger Of the canni-
balsl What but the weird pallor of my
self and Frank In the same manner the
sight of the pale-faces of the Embomma
merchants save me the slightest suspicion
of an involuntary shiver. The pale color
after so long gazing on rich black and
richer bronze, had something of an unac-
countable ghastliness. could not dlvest
myself of the feeling that they must be
sick: yet, as compare their complex
ions to what | now view, | should say
they were olive, sunburnt, black. Yet
there VAS something very seIfpossessed
about the carriage of these white men.
1t was grand little selfpride mixed
with cordially. | could not remember
Just then that had witnessed such bear
ing among any tribe throughout Africa.
They spoke WE'LL also; the words they
uttered hit the sense pat; without ges-
ture, they were perfectly Ineligible.
How strange. IL was quite delightful to
observe the slight mods of the head; the
intelligent facial movements were adj
mirabiy expressive. They were COM
pletely clothed and neat also; | ought to

hats, colored neck-ties, patent leather
boots, well cut white clothes, virtually

pie, and then fear felt almost like

dressed, well spoken whites claimed me
as friend and kin. Yet | did not dare to
place myself upon an equality with them
as yet. The calm blue and gray eyes
rather awed me, and the immaculate
purity of their clothes dazzled me. |

connecting link between the white and

Dangerous Liberty.

When will parents learn the Importance
of keeping firearms out Of the children's
wayl They will play with them if they
can. 1t has been established by innumer-
able examples that there never was gun
or pistol so crippled, old or rusty, that it
will not go off in the hands Of child,
and it is also as we'll established that the
innocent aim of child is always deadly.
Two more cases of this kind are reported.
A boy of twelve years of age was left
alone for few minutes with his one year
old sister. He commenced playing with
the baby with a loaded rifle. The gun
went off, the ball entering his sisters
chin and passing through her head, kill
ing her instantly. The alarmed boy
called for help. He said that a man
came into the house and shot the child
and then ran away. That was lie told
in fright. He afterward confessed that
he was playing with the gun, pointing it
at his sister, when she, grasping and pull
ing at the ramrod, the gun went off in
his hands. And so she died. The other
case was that of a fourteen year-old who
was playing at "burglars" with a seven
year-old friend He had gun which he
did not know was loaded, but which he
had been in the habit Of using to snap
caps. The inside boy took the gun, while
the outside fellow played burglar and
robber at the wide chinks Of the door
He put his face to one of the chinks, and
this was a good opportunity for the other
to elbow wind" in his face by swapping
caps. The first cap missed fire, but the
second discharged the gun and killed the
outsider in the game Of robbery, in.
stantly.
There is no more to say. If children
will play with firearms they must get
shot sooner or later. 1t is for parents to
prevent such dangerous play.

In answer to the question, "Why are
farmers so liable to rheumatismt' the
Science Of Healh says; Because they
wear wet clothing, heat and suddenly
chill the body, overeat after very hard
work. and because they do not keep
the skin in a vigorous, healthy condi-
ton. If farmers would avoid suddenly
cooling the body after great exertion, II
they would be careful not TO so with wet
clothing and wet feet, and if they would
not overeat when in an exhausted
condition, and battle daily, using much
friction, they would have less rheuma-
tism.

Mems Manner Towards Women.

\ vigorous writer suggests that the
lamentable change which has come over
the manner of gentlemen towards ladies
may be due to the decay of fine manners
in women. Morally, he thinks, women
are as good as they ever We're; but many
of them have become excessively tamll-
lar with men. This fact makes it diff
cult for men to preserve towards all
women that iineness of manner which
marks manly respect for true woman
hood.
1t is not every man who is, like Thack-
craV's Col. Newcome-that "brothcr of
girls" to use an Arabs epithet-whose
respect for woman, a woman, was so in
bred that he took off his hat when spoken
to bv an abandoned female.
Other causes tor this decay the writer
finds in the independence of certain
women, and in the neglect Of another
class to express their appreciation of lit
tie attentions. Why should a man hand
woman chair who tells him, 81 can
get it myselfl' Should he not take her
at her word! Why should he rise when
she rises, when she does not acknowledge
the attention. lie may be tired, or it
may be announcement. Why should a
gentleman put himself out for an indie
pendent or thankless womanl
That is the writer's way of putting it
and the differences are legitimate, see
ing that men are not martyrs, who sac
rifcc themselves from q love of self-im-
notation.
Young women in whom these bad
habits have not permanently located
themselves, ought to reflect that few men
are likely to offer attentions to masculine
women, or women who never say, "Thank
you nor are they apt to be deterental
to women who are themselves Indifferent
to decorum. If lady does not exact
Difference, she will not receive it.
The woman to whom comes the sudden
reflection, "IIe didn't behave towards me
AS gentlemen should towards lady -
should certainly ask herself, "IIas my
conduct towards him been that of a we'll

The corruption of the bestis the most
pernicious in its effect.
Inisn RoADs.-The public roads of
Ireland are absolutely perfect. Go where
you will through the rural districts and
the roads are thoroughly turnpiked,
thoroughly drained, and level as a board.
The bridges over the rivers and creeks
are all stone. Every road has side
walk for foot passengers elevated about
six inches over the main road, and from
four to six feet wide. Tue fences on
either side are OF solid stone masonry, to
the hight of from four to six feet, upon
the top of which are grown hedges OF

are festooned with ivy aad wild flowers,

The Fashionable Wife.


The fashionable wife looks on her hus.
bands money as spoil-something which
he wants to guard, and she to sieze. 1t
is no joint property which it is as much
her interest as it is his to save and use
wisely; but an enemy's possession which
it will be her gain TO loot. AS for COM
panionship toU0urs perdrir pals, and
an evening spent with her husband alone
counts as the ne Plus ultra of deadly
dullness. Personal love for him has died
out, il even it once existed under the
guisc of passion because of novelty; and
whatever she may be to others, her hus-
band finds her uniformly cold and repel-
liant. Motherhood is her bug-bear; chill
dren unwelcOmc intrudcrs; and there Is
no more miserable woman eXtant than
the fashionable wife with baby, that
hinders her from joining in the seasons
vulgar pleasures. Essentially selfish and
shallow, love has as little meaning for her
as the doctrine of duty or the glory OF
sacrifice; aud those who know her stand
aside in kind of wonder at the scheme
of creation which includes, among its
Offsets, being without uses and without
virtues-a woman with presumably a
soul like any other, absolutely destitute
of the love which saves the world from
worse than death-of the reality which
seeks truth and lives in it-of all noble
ness of aspiration ana all righteousness
of life-a woman whose good is pleasure,
and her one sole igion-fashion.
The higher up men 90 the more impera-
tive becomes the necessity that they
should live on; every high impulse, every
feeling of self-esteem, every sense OF dig
nifty and worth, in mankind, calls out for
immortality. Do you say that calling

Fort, seated on log, her shoes of, her eyes
swollen from crying, and herself complete
" exhausted. There was JOY on the
grounds when the news was made known
that the child had been found and was I'M
injured.
In the neighborhood of Fort Jefferson,
recently, a white woman gave birth to
triplets. This in itself is remarkable;
but the extraordinary feature of it is
that two of the children are white,
while one is black. This news spreading
among the excursionists, excited great curl;
osity, and during the day numbers visited
the scene of this singular freak of nature.
A physiological explanation oft is beyond
the powers of our untutored mind. The
mother is white; SO is the father; and we
can find no solution for the'anomaly save
that the mother must have sustained a
fright from negro; but whether she was
one-third scared by whole negro, or who'll
ly scared by one-third Of negro, is prob
lem we leave our readers curious in such
things to solve.

of the children yesterday, and they were

day out wandering about the
Fort and its vicinity-heartily en-
joying the freedom the surroundings gave
them. Considering the number present and
the pleasure afforded by the excursion, 1t
was the least expensive affair of the kind

were $S2, and the receipts collected from
