A Wandering Needle.

~ A few weeks ago, as young lady OF
Salisbury, Nd, was getting into car
riage sewing-needle was by some means
forced into her thigh, but, being consid-
cred trifling matter, little or no atten-
ten was paid to it at the time. Several
days after this occurrence, however, her
ankle panied her very much, and on
examination it was found that TIE needle
was the cause of it. In her efforts to
get It out it broke, and she only sue
ceeded in getting one part the eye half)
OF it out. The point part remained, and
two days after she felt that just below
tho knee. but was still unable to get it
out. Two weeks then elapsed and she
felt something in her throat, but the OBJ
etuction was supposed to be a fish,
bone. After several efforts TO remove it
ehe at last succeeded, and it proved to
be the point part Of the needle. Thus,
in = few wee1s' time, q common sewing
needle enters . person at the thigh,
makes its way down to the ankle, than
retraces it's steps and goes up the body
and comes out at the throat. This may
appear to be an incredible story, but It
is true nevertheless. It is vouched for
by gentleman Of unquestioned ver-
acitY

Fun Ahead.

An old and partially intoxicated sailor
was brought up before Justice Wandell,
in the Yorkville Police Court. The JUS
tioe asked: "Thomas, why do you drink
the nasty stuff"
The old sailor respectfully saluted his
Honor, and inquired of him if he meant
liquor.
"That's Just what I mean." replied
the court; 1T il very nasty stuff. I"
"Your Honor is all wrong," pursued
the old sailor, redectively-"all wrong"
"Look at me-" said the Justice; II
am over 60 years Of age, and I have nev-
er tasted liquor"
"Was your Honor never drunkY'
"Never in my lne."
May I be -. Well, your Honor,
you're not too old yet. There's fun
ahead for you-heaps Of fun ahead"
When the courtroom became quiet in
measure, the old sailor was discharged.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, Aug. 2S:-The chief secretary for
Ireland in the house of commons To- day stat
cd that the government don't think It neoes-
sary to aak for exceptional powers for tho
preservation Of peace and protection Of life
and property in ireland. They don't know,
he said, whether they can rely during tho COM
log al tumn and winter on the common law.
They do not fear IN arising but tho condi-
ton Of the country is precarious, and should
necessity arise tho government would not
hesitate to summon parliament in order to
obtain IN additional permit, but they don't
think the occasion likely to arise.
In the house of commons John Dillon.
home ruler, moved adjournment in order to
give Forster IN opportunity to explain his
recent language. Dillon said: "Idon't mind
being called coward and imposter, but I
object to an accusation of deliberate wick
edness, beosuse advise resistance to law
which the government itself had called
unjust, yet continued to ad-
minister. will repeat that advice
at every land meeting In Ireland" Forster
said he had no explanation to mako but
that he adhered to every word be had utter
I'd. Dillon had preached disobedienoe to
the law which the government Was deter
mined to uphold. Forster added tho recent
terrible outrages in Ireland show tho barbsr-
Ism to which speeches like Dillon's excited
tho people.

The Population Of Africa.

Although we have not, nor are we
likely to have for years, any accurate
statistics Of the population Of the interior
Of Africa, there il very little doubt that
we have greatly underrated it. Much
important information has lately been
gathered on the subject, especially con-
corning the distribution and density Of
the inhabitants of that far-of land. In
the great lake district, for instance,
there are territories as thickly settled as
many European states-relatively small
areas-possessing millions Of people.
The negro regions are by far the most
populous, while the desert regions are
the reverse. A French geographical
society gives the estimated figures Of
various subdivisions of that continent,
as follows In the Soudan the popula-
tion is 80, ,000, 600, or about IS persons
per square mile. The town Of Bida, on
the Niger, for example, contains fully
1000 Inhabitants. East Africa is rated
at SO, ,000, 900, and Equatorial Africa at
some 40, ,000, 900 souls. A late authority
on ethnology sets down the negroes a.
numerically 130, ,O00, 900; the Hamites,
20, ,000, 900; the Bantas, IL, ,000, 600 the
Foolahs, 6, 8,000, 900 the Nubians, l,6OO,-
600 the Hottentota, sc, ,O0O, 600 making
total Of 172, CSC, 600. The figures only
approximate, of course-are considered
toolow both by German and British geog-
raphers, the former estimating the pop
ulation' as high as 200, 900, 900. Much
hope hos been repeatedly expressed of
the future Of Africa. which is rich in
mineral products and capable of main-
tanning prosperous commerce with
other parts Of the globe. Along the
coasts and caravan roads the chief trade
has been, and continues to be, in slaves.
It is thought that recent effort will yet
do much toward abating tho odious
traffic, as the natives ore capable of
something better. Many Of the tribes
are above the condition OF savages. They
have fixed habitations, though merely
mud huts, defended by stockades, and
have some laws or customs favorable to
commerce. Among several tribes the
native merchant is greatly esteemed,
and his property is safe even during
war. The land is cultivated; the in
habitants wear dyed cotton clothes !;
gold and ircn are ingeniously manufact-
ured, and q certain kind Of Intelligence

and that must arrive. Who knows but
that, in the coming cycles, the highest
civilization may not be found where the
first civilization arose ?-Nesv York pa
