GRANT ON BLAINE.
what the Ex.Presidenf VIII DO If Blaine
~ is Nominated for PRECEDENT.
Newark loAPen.


A few evenings ago a reporter OF the Pen
met a gentleman VINO had recently been in
New York, and while there called on Gen
eral Grant. The gentleman in question is an
ardent admirer of Grant, and held an Office
during both terms of Grants administration.
We cannot conscientiously give the name OF
the gentleman, as he never thought the con-
versation would appear in print, and it is
simply justice that mis- name is withheld.
Said the gentleman: "When called on Gen.
eral Grant at his Office 1 was warmly re-
ceived. After talking over personal matters
Of interest only to ourselves, Grant began
talking about Blaine. He said: IF Blaine
ever receives the nomination for president, i
shall do all in my power from the day he is
nominated until the day of the election, 10
show his unftuess and unworthiness of the
confidence OF the American people for such
a high position Grant warmed up as he
spoke of the matter, and 1 could see from
the conversation that he meant exactly what
be said. OF course did not attempt to tell
him that he could not afford to do any such
thing, but am fearful of results, as hon.
estly believe that Elaine will be the Repub-
lican candidate fer president in 1884" The
gentleman said he was greatly surprised at
Grants declarations, but he did hot desire to
have the matter made public, and be con-
nected with it in any way.

How n Frenchman Outwitted STANLEY.
nfc,G lohe

Stanley, the African explorer, who, in his
time, had perpetrated many "ecoops,o has
been nicely gathered in himself by French
man. Stanley't business in Africa at pres
ent is the establishment OF trading posts on
the navigable upper waters of the Congo for
Belgian company, which employs him.
The Congo is a magnificent river, navigable
for thousands of miles, but unfortunately
It's mouth is blocked by cataracts, aud the
river only becomes practicable for steamers
about 250 miles from its source. Stanley
has for the past year been engaged in cut
ting road parallel with the river along
these $50 miles. During all this time there
has been working against him, unknown to
Stanley, Frenchman named Savergaan de
Brazza, also an employe Of a trading COM
pany. It occurred to NJ. Sayergnan
that a nearer road TO Congo might
be found than along its banks. Act
ing on this theory he struck inland
boon, and was fortunate enough to come
upon the Alma river, tributary OF the
Congo, at only seventy miles from the coast.
Having found this river he went back TO
France and procured funds. with which he
organized an expedition. He then returned,
constructed his seventy miles of road, and
from the Alma foated quietly to the Congo,
where he had time to hoist The French flag,
take possession Of the country, establish trad
ing stations and prepare grand banquet
for Stanley, which the latter, after complet-
ing his $50 miles of road, found was the
only consolation awaiting him. This is one OF
the neatest and greatest tricks on record, and
it shows that even 4 newspaper man can be
then Stanley had ceased
10 be journalist.
