CHUMAH.
The Negro Companion of Livingstone,
Uhe Great African Explorer.

In the London Echo there appears 4 sketch
of Chumsh, the African so we'll known to
readers of Liuingsone's Life and 1foBsis,
and who has lately died at Zanzibar.
"ChuBah's life was one of singular adyen-
ture. He was one of the slave boys whom
Dr. Livingstone rescued toward the end of
his Z4mbesi and Nyassa expedition. Liv-
ingstone took him and Susi with him to
Bombay in his adventurous cruise across
The Indian ocean in the Lady Nyassa.
Leaving them at Bombay under the charge
of Or. Wilson, he picked them up again on
setting out on his last journey through
Africa, and they were with him till his death
in 1873 Their fidelity 10 him during all
these years was remarkable, AMI the Two
headed the expedition that carried his re-
mains from Ilala TO the coast. Latterly
Chumah has been employed chiefly as head
man in various African expeditions, in
which capacity his long experience and his
great ability made his services of high
value. He had great gift of eloquence,
aud was often employed successfully when
difficult negotistions had to be carried on
with unreasonable chiefs. He was not QUITE
free a the weaknesses characteristic of
Africans who have been much taken notice
of: but. IN exploring Africa, and aiding IN
many ways the heads of the expeditions
with which he was connected, he did no
little service to his countTymen, by whom
his memory deserves to be cherished with
ranch apurerIation.o

HERR MOSTS PLANS
What Justus Schwab, Leader OF the
German Socialists in America,
Says OF the
Agitator's Visit to This COuntrF-He Viii
Speak In All the Principal Eastern
and Western Cities.

NEW YORK, December 20.-That an ac-
curate idea might be obtained regarding
Herr Most's plans. and his motive for COM
ing to this country, q reporter of the World
called upon Jrstus ii. Schwab, the great
leader of the German Socialists in America,
at his saloon yesterday. Schwab was found
surrounded by friends, to whom he was con-
versing in German with great animation.
When informed by the reporter that he
should like TO see him alone, he replied
brusquely that he kept nothing from his
comrades, and whatever was said to him
must be spoken in their hearing. The re-
porter then inquired regarding
HERR MosT's FUTURE MOVEMENTS,
and in reply, Schwab said: "On Thursday,
or Friday at the latest, Herr Most will leave
the city for Chicago, where he will remain
till after New Years. Sunday night pub
lie parade will take place there in his honor,
in which all the armed labor organizations
of the city will participate"
with arms?" asked the reporter.
Eyes, with arms" said Mr.. Schwab, sternly.
"Why not with arms2 From Chicago"
continued Mr.. Schwab, she will go to Mil
waukee and St. Louis, and then back to
Louisville, Cincinnati, Salineville, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, Niagara, Pittsburg, Allie
gheny, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington, where he is 10 be
RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT ARTHUR,
and again came to New York, whence he
will pay visits to all the large industrial CEN
tiers of the East. You must remember that
this is Tour OF provocatiou, in the course
of which our distinguished guest will make
appeals 10 the people. He will go alone,
and wherever he stops will be entertained by
our friends. He will return to Eoglsnd in
about four months, but not as Herr Most.
Do you understand me7 He will go incog-
nito. The English Parliament passed law
last summer specially directed sgainst him,
which provides that any foreigner suspected
of being dangerous TO the Institutions of
Great Britain can be banished without any
form of legal proceeding. He is connected
with the FreiheI merely as the editor and
constant contributor, and has little to do
with its publication" Herr Most was closeted
last night till a late hour with the executive
committee of the Socialist party.

gHE APPEAL FOR 1883.

The APPEAL has just entered upon the
forty-third year of It's existence. Duringsthe
year 1888 it will maintain all its honorable
traditions by the adoption of every improve
ment which progress can invent or suggest.
1t will be the constant aim of the manage
ment to make it a complete newspaper and
the reliable exponent of a liberal public
, opinion. With this object in view, it will
print ali the news of the day, promptly and
as fully as its large and increasing facilities
will permit. While keeping our readers
intelligent upon all the political questions
of the time, we shall continue TO devote
large share of our space to agricultural,
educational, religious, scientific, literary, in
dustrial and commercial matters. Political
parties are likely to be recognized upon new
Issues as national politics are assuming new
phases. This will give additional interest OF
all well-couducted newspapers until the next
Presidential election. Every good citizen
should keep himself abreast of the current
politics OF the day; for that reason the price
OF the APPEAL is placed within The reach of
even the poorest. The history of the AP-
PEAL for the past forty-two years has been
