Congressman Eolman on the Mis-

Especial to the Times-Democrat.l
Washington, Oct. G.-Congress.
man Holman has the following to
say in regard to the Mississippi
River Improvement:
at is hard to tell what Congress
will do, but | believe the general
feeling 10 in favor of the plan of
the River Commission. A few OF
the more cautious are in favor OF
testing the system on some short
distance first. The river men,
mean those navigating the river,
are loud In their demand that
something shall be done to keep
the snags out Of the channel and
make navigation less hazardous,
and they have a right to expect
that Congress shall do that. There
is genaral sentiment too, think,
in favor OF the plan of the River
Commission, which proposes to
make the entire river, from Cairo
to the Gull, Of the uniform and
comparatively narrow width Of
5000 feet. That will cost many
millions of dollars, but it is q very
important work.

A DARING FEAT.
Visxiag Washington City from ths c.7it'l
Dome Railing.

Washington, September 91-An
unknown man, evidently stran-
ger and a daring enc, performed a
feat about noon which chilled the
blood of every one who witnessed
il. lie ascended to the dome OF
the Capitol and producing 2 pair
of opera glasses mounted the rail
ing surrounding the dizzy-highted
platform hundreds of feet above
tho ground, and walked deiiber.
ately around on the narrow foot
ing, viewing the city aud the sur.
rounding country through his Op-
era glasses. Several persons in
the parks below, who witnessed
tho man-spider outlined against
the sky like speek almost in the
clouds, rushed in and told Captain
Albaugh, of the Capitol police
force, and he Immediately dispat.
ehed an officer to The dome with
instructions to bring the foolhardy
man down. The officer on reaching
the top commanded the stranger
to get down. The command was
obeycd by the erialist, who re-
marked in cool manner: "Why.
that's nothing; am used TO that
sort of business lie refused to
give his name, and descended in
company with the officer. The
dome top is nearly 400 feet from
the ground, and to even look down
from behind the ratings would
make the average mortal dizzy.

Boston, Mass, October IA
lotter from Henry NJ. Stanley, |
dated July nth, at Stanley Pool,
Congo River,is received by a per.
sonal friendiu this city. With re.
gard to his sudden departure from
Europe, he explains the cause MS
being u sensational and exaggera.
ted telegram printed in the En-.
glish papers to the effect that
one of tho stations had been
attacked and the chief Of the ex.
pedition badly wounded. The
station was partially broken up by
the personal ambition of tho
younger men of the party, each of
whom desired to succeed the
Chief. Stanley thinks tho station
can be supplied with native help,
the number of steamers and boats
increased aud altogether he con.
siders every thing moro en-.
couraging. At Lcopoldyille there
are two missions [ Baptist and the
Livingstone Congo Mission, and
already they look quite imposing
in buildings. Stanley says:
"Since ! arrived on the Congo
last December, | have been up as
far rs the Equator, aud have
established two more stations
and besides discovering an
other lake, Mantaniba, have ex.
plored for u hundred miles, or
thercabouts, the river known on
my map rs the Welembep, but
which is really the .Malundu--not
large as stated in my book, but,
the size of the Arkansas, deep
broad, and navigable. 4 big
stream, which Iexpcct must drain
the largest part of the South Con.
60 basin, must bo somewhere
higher up. Having become bet
acquainted with the country am
really struck with the dense pop.
ulation of the equatorial part OF
the basin, which, ifit were uniform
throughout would give forty.ninc
million. The number Of products
and character of the people are
likewise remarkable. Gums, rub.
Der, ivory, camphor-wood, and Il
host of other things will repay
transportation, even by the very
expensive mode at present in use
The people have been born traders
and are, for Africans, very enter
prising and indastrious,"
Stanley tells Of nis mediation
with the tribes who were at war
and who, when peace was brought
about by his Efforts elected HIN

1t was on q Third avenue horse
car last night. A man of middle
height, but OF portly person and
with a carefully arranged black
mustache, swung himself on the
rear platform and seated himself
with much care Oh the dashboard.
He expressed himself as one who
loved peace above all earthly
things.
The car stopped again, and two
men of almost gigantic stature,
whose gait was sufficiently nm.
steady to prove an unlimited in.
diligence in liquor, stepped on the
platform and stood opposite the
man who loved peace. The Irish
men were aggressive. They look.
ed upon the peaceful one with q
careless Indifference that led one
OF them to step upon his toes.
This invitation to become better
acquainted was not accepted by
tho elderly man, but instead, he
moved away. One of the Irish.
men-the larger of the two-again
trod upon the quiet mans toes
with SO much force that it made
him bite his lips. The suffering

Silent Cities OF the Future.
TSt. James Gazette,l

DI. james OdItlIe,
The interesting account that ia
to hand of the journey of an cleo
trio tramcar through the streets of
Paris, perhaps foreshsdows a rev.
olution in the conditions under
which civilized man lives in great
cities. Silently as dream did
that tramcar travel over the metal
of the Paris streets. No sound
was there of straining harness or
hoofs pounding monotonously on
asphalt or maeadam; still less was
there the ear.piercing shrek, the
dyspeptic puff, the start and roar
and below of the locomotive.
And the car, we are told, was
more easily manageable, cost less,
and moro satisfactory every way,
than If It had been drawn by steam
or horses. Is this the beginning
of a happy change, when the rat
Ting hanson and the clattering
bus will trouble the nerves of
civilization no more and the town
dweller be at restf In the vision
of the future, one sees the prom
ise of q time when it will be pos
sible to converse in the Mile End
road at midday without shouting,
and the Angel at Islington will be
ringed around about BY a great
solemn calm.
