Tanganvika l met with remains of the
Batua, who seem to be the real aborig
ines. In tiny and ill-constructed straw
huts, despised by the Baluba tribes, these
small, ill-shapen, attenuated, dirty and
Withholding people live. They do not
grow anything nor do they keep pigs or
goats, but only few fowl, living for the
rest upon wild fruit and the game they
kill. They have a peculiar language,
and their weapons and instruments are
of a very inferior kind. Iron arrow
points are, however, sometimes found in
their possession, and they train kind
of greyhound for hunting" Wissmann
formed very good opinion of the war
like King Mirambo, whom he visited IN
August, after a pleasant stay with the
Rev. Griffith at Ruanda, near TanganyI-
ka, and who treated him to two bottles
of champagne. After a visit to the
French missionaries at TabOra and to
DIR Bohm and to DIR. Reichardt at Con
da he enjoyed some good shooting, and
on November II, 1882, he embarked for
Suez at Zanzibar.
OF DR.. Pogge's safe return to King
Mukenge we have heard nothing as yet,
but the Berlin Geographical Society is in
hopes that he has founded a station
there, and that we may any day hear OF
his arrival at LOanda on his way home
ward.
Wissmann arrived in Cairo on New
Years day, on the very same day as Mr.
Joseph Thomson, who had proceeded to
Zanzibar at the request of the London
Geographical Society. Cor. Lon

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Not one of the Presbyterian churches
in Nebraska is encountered with.a mort
gage debt.
1t transpires that the school-house
IN New York where so many children
were killed recently, was reported eight
years ago as being unsafe.
The New Congregational Year Book
has added the Welsh churches of Penn

Der ffty-one churches.
When Rev. w. G. Richardson, of
the Amherst, Mass, Methodist Church,
got sick few Sundays ago, his wife took
the desk and preached a sermon.

eight by twenty-five? I'll waper that
Charles can do it in less than no time"
Pupil: 81 shouldn't be surprised. They
say that fools multiply very rapidly now

"A great strife is being stirred up in
New York because sections of certain
fashionable churches have been made to
take down their signs from the sacred
edihces. The objections were that the
sections were undertakers, and used their
signs on the churches to advertise their
callings.-N Y. Times
The safest kind of school building or
other public institution or hall is one like
a certain California church, the pastor of
which, when it was dedicated, said:
'"There are fourteen entrances to this
ediice, and if any one hears anything
here that displeases him he has choice
of fourteen exits by which to leave"
The Trustees of Columbia College,
New York City, declare it inexpedient to
educate the sexes together. While not
prepared for wOmen's education in the
| college they deem it expedient to take
measures to raise the standard of female
education by proposing courses of study
to be pursued outside the college, but
under its authority and with suitable
academic honors.
The Board of Managers of the Amer
lean Bible Society met in New York re-
Gently and heard report on the progress
of the work of resupplying the United
States with the holy scriptures. From the
beginning of the fiscal year up to Janu-
ary 81. colporteurs visited 288,718 fami-
! lies; 50, 242 of them were supplied with
bibles by sale or gift; 10, 996 copies were
given to destitute persons and 125, SIC
were sold. 1t has cost the Society a lit
tie less than fourteen cents for every
family visited and about twenty-four
cents for every copy of the Bible put in
circulation.

The Popular Plan.

One can not only buy everything
from a cook-stove to coffin on the
weekly or monthly payment plan, but a
Detroiter has applied the principle to a
still higher object. A certain young
gentleman interviewed him the other
day in regard to the hand of his daugh-
ter, and the father heard him out and
replied:
"Wen, if Mary is willing and shall
not object, 1 intend to give her $4,000
as dowry."
"What noble and generous father!"
gasped the young man.
So But I Shall adopt the installment
plan" continued the father; ''instead
of giving her the sum in lump shall
pay three dollars per week for sixty
four years. That will not only prevent
her from speculation and loss, but
come much easier for me."-DetrOtt

and permit Us to say that when the admiral
returned to his home in New York the oLlv
cloud cast upon the happiness Of the reunion
with his family was caused by the continued
Illness Of his eldest son, a young man of
twenty-fouT, whose disease, when the ad a.iral
sailed from MonteYideO. had been re orted as
succumLing to the treatment of tae family
doctor. But his father found it otherwise;
the unfortunate young man was suffering
severely from chronic disease of the kldueyS
and bladder. Before leaving Boston the ad-
miral had purchased copy OF DR.. 2 erce's
book, The Peoples Common Sc sc Med cal
Adviser" He read this valuable book thor
oughly and upon his arr val home had made
up his mind as to the future treatment for
his son. The latter was sent to the famous
Invalid's Hotel at Buffalo, n. Y, conducted
by DIR. R. Y. Fierce, and his competent staff
OF specialists, whore, under skllful treat
ment, the sufferer soon fould relief and
permanent cure.
In the library Of his handsome home the
admiral placed one Of the four bottles sent
him by the seaman Brown. Conspicuous in
its pretty frame and stand it attracts all eyes,
which can easily read the lines in golden let
tiers inscribed the tablet under the st md as
follows: =" This bottle once contained the
ammunition viii secured for Admiral -
the victory in his battle off Cape Hora with the
enemy consumption. His undying gratitude
is thus shown for that which this bottle
and its mates held.n

English RazOrs.

The London Times says that the
Sheffield razor trade has been very brisk
for nearly two years, and the razor
forgers are agitating, though in very
friendly way, for an advance of ten per
cent. in wages. A ''spurt'' was given in
the razor trade in q similar way Just be-
fore the Egyptian war. On the soldiers
kits being examined it was found that
they were deficient in razors, knives
and forks. A large firm in Sheffield
were asked by the Government to make
several thousand razOrs in a certain
time. The firm replied that they could
supply from stock if the Government
would take the ordinary pattern; but
the authorities insisted on having theiE
own army razor. The order was then
divided, and the numerous forgers, who
work at little wheels in the picturesque
Rivelin Valley and other suburban parts,
were offered three pence per dozen more
to get the work out in time. The offer
was accepted, and the soldiers had their
razors in time.
In the DAYS of the late Mr.. Roebucks
a Sheffield manufacturer made the re-
mark IN his presence that the British
soldier shaved himself with a razor
which was delivered, in case, at four
and half to five and half pence. Mr..
Roebuck expressed some incredulity,
but the manufacturer whipped one out
of his pocket and showed it to the right
honorable gentleman, who took posses
sion of it. The chief cause of the pres
ent activity in the razor trade is the sud-
den change in the American demand,
which is now all for hollow-backed
raZOrs.
Another kind is made, not for shaw
ing, butl for razor fights. uis very
loose in the blade, which can be sud-
denly thrown back, and held between
the fingers for a dash at the face. This
razor is said to be almost entirely used
by negroes, and large numbers are sent
to the United States. The Sheffield
water is said to be essential to the MAX
ing of good razors. Several years ago
company of razor grinders who went
to America took a barrel of Sheffield
water with them; but the barrel, of
course, could not last forever. What
ever the cause, the making of razors
remains speciality of Sheffield manu-
facturers, and almost monopoly.

1t is the custom in most families
who give attention to the concerns of the
table to serve oatmeal and milk at break
fast. Excellent as this custom is, it may
be varied occasionally with good effect.
One way to do this is to make a hasty
pudding of Graham flour; it should be
made like ordinary Indian meal pud-
ding, with the exception that the Graham
must first be wet with cold water; it
must be stirred constantly; it will re-
quire about twenty minutes steady
boiling and should be well salted.-N

General Ignatien's Home.

The Revue DiplonsGtiqWe describes
General Ignatieff's home close to the
Winter Palace in st. Petersburg as a
beautiful residence. 1t is fronted by
four somber columns, which give it
mournful air, but when the portals
are passed the interior is charming.
The Minister himself occupies only two
rooms, in one of which he receives his
guests, while the other is a library or
den. where his real work IS done. The
reception room is a veritable museum
of eastern curiosities. Japanese stuffs
and curtains, and hangings from China
in all sorts of fantastic patterns are
scattered about. There are Turkish
sofas and Persian chairs, while articles
of vertu lie about in picturesque con-
fusion. One sees the tastes of a man
who has passed his life in the East. The
workshop contains a collection of his
torical arms, unique of their kind; each
piece has tradition, and each is marked
by rich and curious workmanship; all
have been given him at one time or
another by their owners. One sees the
pistols of the last sovereign Prince OF
Albania, long poniard of Schamyl,
and gem richly chased presented by
the Sultan Abdul Aziz.

There was marked change for the better In share
speculation to-day, and although the bears made
eral demonstrations against the market prices were
steadily maintained, every de cline briD gng in good
buyers and at the close quotations showed sharp
rise over yesterdays closing. The statement Of Mr..
Gould concerning Wabash published in this report
yesterday and the publication of the earnings OF tn
Gould southwestern system of roads for the second
week in May with the exception of Wabash, showed
the large increase had wholesome effect on these
stocks and they all advanced arply The low prices
generally induced large buying; and there was also
good covering by the shorts. Many prominent bears
yesterday were noticed to be quietly buying to-day
and 1t was also said that of the large operators
had become alarmed at yesterdays decline and were
actively supporting the stocks identified with their
interests The falng of in the Wabash earnings for
the second week in May $40 296. On this becom-
ing public the be raided the stock, but it wss
strongly supported and the prices closed night at
an advance of q for the common and Il for the pre-
ferred- Western Union was also heavily bought to-
day and closed II higher. The denial of the rumors
Of an impending between the Pacific road togeth
ar with heavy purchases of Union Pacific caused
advance of IL per cent in the stock, but this
afterward partly lost. Canada Pacific strong and
closed N higher reported large increase in
ings. The other stocks outside of the Gould and
those already mentioned notably strong were Coal
shares, Vanderbilts Illinois Central Pacific Mail and
Omaha. The strength and advance in these stocks
was generally the result Of good buying The closing

The scheme for special rates to the Brown

The lacrosse team went down to Prince

favor and prominence as a college sport The

To sit on the fence or not to sit on the
fence is the question the freshmen struggle
with to-day. With the hope of victory their
nine has trained assiduously for months in
the gymnasium and on the ball field, while
their glee club has faithfully been re-
hearsing the same length of time college
glees to be sung as pssans. Their hope are
high, but the struggle will be a hard one
The Harvard university catcher, pitcher and
first baseman are freshmen, and it is expect
ed they will play to-day. The championship
has been held unbroken in Yale for six years.
For the past three years the mines have been
very evenly matched, and victory has beeU
won only by the hardest work. The game
will not be called this afternoon till after the
athletic games at $3.50 o'clock.
The athletic games commence at the park
promptly at 2:15 p. m. The events will be
contested by the winners in the class games
Many good scores ought to be made, as in the
preliminary sports several Yale records were
broken. That of the 40 yards in 521 Sec
onds; putting shot 81 feet inches; kicking
foot ball 1853 feet, and the mile bicycle race
in 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

The remodeling of the Guilford passen-
ger station has been postponed and We are
credibly informed that a new building will
be serected next autumn upon the site
of that now occupied and that the old one
will be converted into a freight depot, which
would accommodate the public much better.
Mr.. G. H. Hall will build house on the
lot north of the Town House, Church street,

The proprietors of seaside resorts are busy
with their preparations for the coming sea-
son and cottages are going up or In contem-
plation at eligible points along the coast,
notably at Stony Creek, Norton's Point, Sa
chem's Head and Madison Neck.
The bridge over East river, between Gull
ford and Madison, will be completed Satur-
day evening, provided Saturday is fair or
pleasant day, SO that travel may resume its
wonted course thereafter.
Mrs. Cobleieh and Miss Anna Hubbard
were buried last Thursday afternoon, aged 81
and 81 respectively, and both died of pneu-
monia.
Spencer's foundry did not run last Thurs
day owing to the attractions of Forepaugh' 8
circus, yet the number who attended from
Guilford was not apparently as large as upon
similar occasions in the past.
Our rural young man walked seven miles,
took the 6:12 a. m. train into New Haven to
see the great show on Thursday, returned on
the 6:2O p. m. train and then walked the
seven miles home, which must be paying
rather dear for the whistle and productive of
more aches than profit.
The cherry, peach and pear trees are bios
soming very freely, and foliage has put forth
very rapidly for the last four days.

longing to Mr. Isaac Palmer, was killed near
the station on Tuesday by the New York ex-
press which passes at SOY a. m. Mr.. Charles
Hendrie lost very valuable iron gray horse,

which he was hitched. Mr.. L. G. Munson,
of the parsonage, and Mr.. Hopkins, of Mia

mined not to be outdone by the equines, de-
parted these coasts, also, the other day.
