Hon. John I. Mitchell, who was yester-
day elected u. S. Senator from this State
for six years from the 4th Of March, to
succeed Senator Wallace, is native Of
Tioga County. He was born in 1888, and
is consequently 43 years old. He was
educated in the common school and at
the Lewisburg University, but did not
graduate. Before the war he taught
school; served in the army as lieuten-
ant and captain. In 1864 he was admit
ted to the bar Of Tioga County and four
years later was chosen District Attorney
for three years for a year or two he edit
ed the Welzsborough Agitator; was men,
Der of the Legislature from 1872 to 1876,
where he won honorable distinction by
his ability, unquestioned honesty and un-
swerving fidelity to the principles of the
Republican party. He was once a con-
spicuons candidate for tho Speakership.
He was also chairman of Judiciary Gen
eral, and Ways and Means Committees,
positions which made him the leader of
his party in the House.
In 1876 he was unanimously nominated
for Congress and elected. Against his
wishes he was re-nominated for second
term and reelected.
During his long experience in public
life, he has kept himself above reproach,
and has served his constituents at the
expense Of his own pecuniary advance
ment, as he is poor man. To his integ-
rity, uprightness and wisdom as a legs-
lator, he is indebted for his present ad-
vancement, as it is no disparagement
of his fitness to say that there are other
men who have been suggested for the
place quite as talented as himself but he
will out rank the average Senator in abil-
ity as debater and legislator. His unan-
imous nomination and election is credita-
BILE to himself and highly honorable to
the Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture. 1t will restore harmony to the par
ty whose unity had been threatened by
the long struggle, as neither faction can
claim MIN. He is an independent, up
right man, and in his official capacity will
know no parties inside the political or
ganization which has chosen him.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR BLACK WAL
NuT.-Black birch is rapidly coming
into favor. Black birch is close
grained, handsome wood, and can be
easily stained to resemble walnut ex-
astly. It is just as easily to work,
and is suitable for nearly, if not all,
the purposes to which walnut is
ct present applied. Birch is much
the same color as cherry, but the lat
ter wood is now scarce, and, conse-
quently, dear. It is with difficulty
that cherry can be obtained at $50 q
thousand feet, while birch wood can
be purchased at any saw-mill for 81
per thousand feet. When properly
stained, it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish the difference between it and
walnut, and it is susceptible of a
beautiful polish, equal to any wood
now used in the manufacture of furni.

STANLEY.-Those of our readers
who followed with so much eager
ness the accounts of Stanley's search
tor Livingstone in the wilds of Africa
and his subsequent expedition across
that dark continent from the east to
the west coast, will learn with deep
regret that advices from the Congo
river report him as dying. His third
and last expedition was undertaken
for the purpose Of more thorough
exploration of the Congo and with the
chimerical idea Of locating route for
a railroad around the tremendous falls
and cataracts Of that remarkable water
course. He thought to open way
into the heart of Africa so that with
the aid of steamers on the navigable
parts Of the river the whole of equa-
tOrial Africa could be opened to the
commerce Of the world. It was o
bold and fascinating scheme but it will
hardly be accomplished for several
decades yet. The New York Tim IS
looks upon his last trip as the proba-
bic freak Of man whose mind had
become derauged, the result of expo
sure to African fever, the most terri
BILE Of all malarial diseases. 1t is TO
be hoped that the reports of his dan
gerous illness are untrue or exagger-
ated, and that he will yet be spared
to return to the land Of civilization.
In his second great journey Stanley
placed himself at the very head of
African explorers. He crossed the
continent of Africa by descending
the Congo, task which Livingstone
failed to accomplish and which Cam
eron had decided to be impracticable
This Of itsely, was the grandest
achievement Of which the history Of
Africa exploration has any record,
but it was only part of what Stanley
had accomplished. He Thoroughly.
surveyed the Victoria lake, and near.
y completed like survey Of TangAn-
yika. he ascertained that the river
shirneeyu is the largest affluent Of
the Victovia lake, and hence the true
beginning of the Nile. aud he estab.
lished the fact that the Lualaba and
the Congo are one and the same. No
other African explorer has achieved
SO much, and he left SO little to be
done by his successors that his fame
can never be eclipsed and his exploits
never equaled.
