the British passengers. and private receptions have
been organized by Messrs Harvey Outerbridge, at
which the passengers had the opportunity of meet

delpha to Liverpool. laden with cotton arrived in
this port about four o'clock this afternoon. During
the voyage she met with heavy weather and her BAL

THE PILOT BOAT HERCULES.

The steam pilot boat Hercules was the subject Of
considerable discussion yesterday along the docks

the PILOT Commissioners and the ave refractory

said :"The fact is IL these do not accept reg.

ship mpanies in another way. When the monthly
statement that the lawyer speaks OF comes to light
II will be found that tho steamship companies own

The Future of Africa.

Signs are not wanting that the
''DArk Continent" will not rem lin
"dark" much longer, and CT numerical
enterprise will probably do as much to
develop Africa in the next ten years as
the labors of the missionaries have ac-
complished during the present century.
England will not be alone in the race
for supremacy. The Portuguese-first
in the field-are becoming alive to the
necessity for making an effort to retain
their position; Italy-and Belgium are
organizing expeditions; some time ago
the United States Commodore Schu-
feldt visited the Congo to arrange with
native chiefs for permission to hoist
the American flag at certain points
favorable for trading stations.
Meantime France is not idle In the
north, but has several grand schemes
''Lessepian" schemes they might be
termed-for opening up the interior by
flooding the Sahara, for constructing
some 1900 miles OF railway. Both
ideas are probably too Utopian to be
realized for long enough; but all these
signs point to the rapid development
OF Africa. The unjust Zulu war itself,

what Grant said to the ex-COnfeder-
ateB.

Gentlemen: 1t has afforded me
great satisfaction and pleasure to OBJ
serve the very cordial reception 1 have
received here, and especially the well
come coming from the gentlemen you
represented. If you had travelled
around the world, as 1 have for severl
years past, you would appreciate, like
me, the value of our common country
more completely than any man who
stays at home. You would be every
where glad to see that we are recognized
by all the nations of the earth in a
higher light than our own people imsg-
iue. Abroad our resources are consid-
cred unlimited. When one gets to see
the nations of the world, he begins to
appreciate the inestlmable value of eur
broad acres, and the great energy of our
people that is forever upbuilding in
State, city and town. 1t affords me
great satisfaction and pleasure to re-
ceive the gentlemen who were, long
ago, opposed to ue, and I hope if this
country eyer sees another war we shall
all be together, under one flag, fighting
q common enemY.n
