Major Serpa Pinto, the Portuguese

his expedition through tho African
started from the Portuguese
possessions on tho west coast of Africa,
and made his way in a zigzag to Natal.
He describes a tribe of natives he met
with near the Zambczi with white
skins, but with the woolly hair and
other peculiaritiesO of the South African.
In portions of the country he enjoyed
such excellent sport that he was able
to kill game enough for tho support of
his $50 followers. On reaching an ele-
waited plateau, Major Scrpa Pinto said
he was astonished to see Il town i'll the
middle of Il vast plain. The houses
wcrc at some distance from each other
and all built on tho same model. On
approaching this town the traveller
found that it was Inhabited by white
ants. Throughout, Major Serpa Pinto
appears to have been we'll received by

him his daughter in exchange for his
watch, and when the traveller explained
that no could not part with it, his

Mr.. j. w. Edwards, a largo planter
in the canebrake region of Alabama,
says In a letter to the Selma Times,
that the common notion that it takes a
boil of cotton six weeks to mature
after the bloom drops from the stalk is
an error. He says that from the latter
part of June to tho 18th or Goth of
July it takes boil of cotton thirty
days to become fully grown after the
bloom drops from tho stalk, and from
then on to the 18th of September it
only takes from twenty to twenty-five
days for boil of cotton to get grown
from the time the bloom drops.

uAYOR AND EDITOR.
A. Oakley Hall Buckling Down
Hard Newspaper Work.
rNew York Evening Telegram.l

TNew York Evening Telegram.I
At the city editors desk of one of
our contemporaries sits man who has
had remarkable and exciting career,
but who now honestly prefers the life
he is leading to any to which his
him. We refer to Mr.. A. Oakley Hall
ex-mayor of New York, a prominent
lawyer, a man we'll known in society
and literary and art circles, whore his
quick perceptions, ready wit, correct
tastes, and, above all, his sympathetic
appreciation of whatever was good of
its kind cansed him to be regarded as
second Admirable Crichton. There Is
no public prominence about the posi-
ton which this gentleman now holds
1t is, to be sure, q place of great impor-
lance, one second scarcely to any in
Journalism SO far as responsibility is
concerned; but it requires of its occu-
pant the hardest Of hard work and
gives him little or. no honor except
that which comes of the consciousness
of having worked we'll and successfully.
Mr.. Hall must, by his own rules, be
the first man at his own Office and the
last to leave 1t. He must not for
moment drop the thread of his work,
for it is not one to be easily found
again. Associated with hundreds and
thousands of men whom others de-
light to honor, he is compelled by the
exigencies of his position to deny HIM
self, although his tastes and inclinations
must urge him in that direction. He
Is, in reality, what his position implies
"a Woodworking servant of the peo-
pie, and the marvel of it all is that he
goes daily to his work with spirit, a
pride and satisfaction such as are
supposed to be possessed only by young
enthusiasts. Almost any other man
subjected to troubles, annoyances and
reverses such as Mr.. Hall has suffered
for ten years, would have grown pre-
maturely old and helpless, If indeed he
escaped with his reason; but this re-
markable man blows his troubles away
with u laugh, and gives his thought
and strength to what is before instead
of wasting them upon bygones. Such
patience, energy, industry, recupera-
tive power and adaptability to circum-
stances is simply wonderful, even in
this country of men who seem to have
found the secret of perpetual youth,
and there is no American who has out
lived reverses or who is still strug
Cling against them who will not find
cheer for himself and hearty admir-
alton for it's cause as he contemplates

Hail.

A BIG HOTEL IN A CORNFIELD.
TWashinnton Star.l

Washington Star
One of the effects of the panic of 1878
was to defeat certain railroad projects
In Virginia and suddenly check the
growth in its infancy of grandly laid
out city near Quantico, in Prince VIII
liam county, in that State, about thirty
miles down the Potomac. Arson Bangs
and Jesse Hoyt, two we'll known New
York capitalists, the former the advo-
cate of cheap transit rail and steamer
routes, with others, about ten years
ago, conceived the idea of railroad
from some point on the Potomac to
the Kanawha river. They procured Il
charter for such road, and after hav-
ing examined many locations finally
selected the neighborhood of Quantico
as the best site for the terminus on the
Potomac. Accordingly they purchased
there a tract of land-about seven
thousand acres-extending from Guam
tico Creek to Chapawamsic Creek, on
the Potomac river, running back a dis
lance of about four miles to the Tcle-
graph road. This tract they laid out
in streets, avenues and squares, and
named it Potomac City. Mr.. Bangs
was so confident of success Of the en-
terprise that he Immediately had
erected near the intersection of Po-
tomac Avenue and the railroad u largo
hotel. This is concrete building OF
four stories, containing 1872 rooms, and
cost $6S, 900. 1t is we'll arranged and
finely finished. This building, now
occupied only by some ono to caro- fol
it, has long been a wonder to those
who have caught sight of it from pass
ing cars or steamers. The Enclosure
surrounding 1t having once or twice
been cultivated in corn gave it Il still
more singular appearance-a hotel IL

This Sarsaparillais combination OF

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
eficacious medicine yet known Tor
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full alternative effect Of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in It, prove their experience
of It's usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence IF the superiority OF this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
