TnE Silver Bill was sigbed by the
President of The Senate aud Speaker Of
tho House on Monday last and pre-.
sentcG the following day to the presi.
dent BY MI. Kcnno. There is much
speculation as to what action The Pres.
ideat will lake 10 reference to it. 1t is
though, BY many that he will veto it.
but We eau hardly think he will do such
au insane act. II be does it will be a
great abuse Of the veto power. The
object 10 c,nfvrius the vesOipower upon
the President was to prevent hasty or
unconstitutional legislation bu, il the
President exercises that power 10 this
instance he cannot say that the hill
was passed withou. due consideration.
or that it was unconstitutional. liz
can Ou!y say that his sensc, honesty
and patriotism is greater than two
Thirds Of Congress. II ho wants to say
that, let him, aud lwothiris of bath
Houses will take issue with him.

boyish face, crowned with shock of
iron-grey hair, in curious contrast of
effect with the black mustache with
high cheek bones, a tanned skin, and the
hands of a backwoodsman, roughened
by cutting way through forest and
jungle, and carrying au elephant rife
firing a two-ounce bah. When he
reached the ocean from the African in
terror he was SO emaciated that he
weighed only 119 pounds. In fifteen
days thereafter he gainel half pound
a day, and his sea voyage almost COM
pletely restored his health. From the
moment he entered the African CONT
nent, on one side, until he, emerged from
it on the other, he never received a
letter nor q newspaper, nor heard a
syllable of what was going on in the
world. Said Mr.. Stanley at dinner
that was given to him by the members
of the Partisan press "It was the
journalistic instinct that. caused me to
speed like an arrow to the Victoria,
that impelled me on my way through
that untrodden land ; it was that Jour-
nalistic instinct, that desire to have per-
fectly accurate intelligence, that led me
to turn again, to go back to Uiiji, and
finish what other explorers had left I'M
done it was, il you please to call 1t so,
journalistic ambition that led me to say,
L will not give it up 1 will go and
finish what Livingstone has left I'M
DONE When at Nyangwe we heard
those stories of the credulous people
who wanted to brighten us back by their
pictures of the dangers we should have
to encounter Lagaio remembered that
L was journalist. 1 then said to my
self, I am soldier of journalism.
Loud cheers, I know what the title
implies in its fullest Specification, and ]
have done my best-and make boast
Of ito add dignity to the name Of
journalism"
