FALLS OF THE NILE.
Ho" Travelling Party Were Upset in
the First Cataract.

At first We went very well, and were
beautifully stccred first from one rock
then from another, until wc cnmc to
the Gate. The crew raised their oars.
and the dahabeah pitched straight
down. The rush and power Of the
water was awful: the only sound, for
every one held his breath for the mo-
ment. All would have been we'll had

and rowcd on the left to get the better

gained is level, for there il only just.

work Of Il minute. But the pilot steer
cd badly. tho crew saw it, lost their
presence of mind, and dropped their
oars and scampercd like monkeys up
the rigging Us the water dashed over
MS; and bump we went against u rock
then bump against another. Despair
ing shrieks re-echocd through the
boat, and all flew to the bows; the
gentlemen, both passengers and visit
ors from another dahabeah who had
come to see the fun, all helping to
bale. We womenkind, thinking this
n temporary delay, an ordinary bump
ing, took out our paints and began
sketching tho wreck of the Sultana as
it lay before us. / had just scrawled
"7:30. We have bumped" undermine,
when up came one Of the gentlemen.
gun-caso in hand, saying, Sect any
thing you really care for; we may
have to leave the boat" A few sec
onds after mp rushed the gentleman,
crying, "The water is gaining rapidly;
come instantlyw We shall never for
get the scene. Oh! the yells, the
screams, the confusion. The one
thought of our crew proper was to
save themselves and their goods. The
,.ragoman turned out the sailors from
the felucca small boat to make room
for us, and in we scrambled, and ina
few moments we were all landed, and
the gentlemen returned to the Bessie
Camac for the crew, and then went to
and fro us salvage corps. They work
cd splendidly in aud out Of water,
under very hot sun, and with every
thing against them. No one was in
command. Tho dragoman had com
p!etcly lost his head, the dchabcah
was rapidly tilting over, the natives
swamped the feluccas and crowded
the cabins, the water rushed in. and
but for individual efforts none Of our
things would have been saved. 1t was
really distracting TO sec the gilt cor
nices, pillows, soup dishes, and cur
tains being handed out instead of our
precious Lures and Pcnatcs. How
ever, two OF our salvage corps climb
ed in by the windows, and handed or
threw ont our treasures just as they
had caught the swimming mattresses
which were blocking up the way. The
Arabs were worse than useless, and
the drasoman beside himself, poor fell
low, shaking all over, and doing moth

Wlle COngO Country.

Stanley has been lecturing upon
Congo in England, and SO much of
IN excitement has been awakened
throughout Europe regarding that re-
gion of Central Africa, that half II
dozen nations are trying to get con-
troll OF it, and arc liable yet to engage
in an exhaustive war for its posses
sion. But accounts of the chief ar
ticles OF export do not, among thought
ful people, kindle very warm cnthusi-
asm. They consist Of ivory, tiger
skins, and other peculiarly tropical
products. and it is Il solTowful fact
that while many tropical islands have
become very rich under the energy of
the Caucassian race, no tropical main
land ever has. The theory that eli
mates affect people SO radically that
branches of the same family will, in
different climates, become in two or
three generations almost totally un.
like, may not be quite true, but that
the railing races have always been
found between certain marrow parnl.
lcls, is absolutely true. Stanley him
self aged more in three years in his
African travels than he would in ten
years in London or New York, and
while We believe limited prosper
ous trade may be established in the
Congo country, we do not believe it
will ever mature into great country
until the Old World shall have CON
tinued hcrcooling off process for some
thousands OF years to como. Salt

A PRETTY RUSSIAN IL ALASKA.
Two American Officers Who Loved
ticr to the Death.

A very tlngic little story was told
TO n company slipping tea around a
shining samovar the other night, that
invest even the garrison days that
succeeded the transfer with something
of romatic incident. Tho captain and
n lieutenant OF one Of the companies
stationed at Silk. IA tl.r injl year Of
united States possession fell dcspcr-
atoly in love with the same beautiful
Russian. She was u most charming
woman, with soft mysterious eyes, Il
pale delicate face, and II slow dreamy
smile Which SGT the two warriors wild.
All the garrison knew OF thcir fierce
rivalry, so marveled not little when
their old friendship appeared to be re-
stored, and the two suitors started off
on hunting expedition together.
One haggard man returned two days
later and told that his companion had
been gorcd to death by TN enraged
bnck in tie forest. lie WAS gloomy
and strange in his manner, and ut
ni9htfall went to the house Of the
Russian lady to break the news Of hi,
rivals death. Tho friends Of the lost
officer talked the matter over, and
suspecting that duel had been
fought, decided to so out the next
day and search for the body. In the
morning the surviving rival was found
dead in bed, with q lool; Of agony and
horror on bis face. One story was
that his victim had appeared to him,
and he had died Of fright and terror;
the other was ,hal some unknown and
subtle poison had been administered
To him in cup Of tea, and the official
report nsclibod his death to heart dis
ease. Tie body of the lost rival was
found at the foot Of n steep bank ON
the shore Of Indian River, where n
tanglc OF ferns, bushes and grasses
shaded and almost covered the clear,
still pool in which he lay. His rife
lay near him, and u bnllcthole in his
heart tod the sad truth that his
friends had suspected. His death
was officially attributed 10 the acci-
dental discharge Of his own rifle while
hunting, and under these two yerClicts
the real truths were concealed. The
family of the beautiful Russian lady
disappeared from Stika in u few
months, and the story had been half
forgotten unit! the recent opening
OF a path along Indian River recalled
it to some Of those who lived here at
that time. Letter.

JOHNNY'S CANNONS.
He Invents New Kind of Fourth OF
July Artillery that Shocks his Faith
er, But Amuses his PIaymates.


A great deal of the talk made about
the innocence and holiness of chill
drcn is nothing but a fgment of some
doting parents brain, gotten up as I'm
advertising dodge to recommend his
progeny as little above the run Of
average humanity. If these ideal
models OF goodness were tried thor
oughly by IN impartial jury, many Of
them would be found wanting in tho
very things which their admirers
claim them to possess most. A very
large proportion of these young an
gels in short trousers Lave good per-
centage of the brutal element in their
composition which only the most ju-
dicious wedding can subdue.
Johnny Marden is ono Of this kind.
just before The Fourth this year hc
wanted his father to get him small
cannon, such us boys used to hold fire.
crackers SO they will speak loud.
When Mr.. Marden returned the
night before the momentous occasion
he brought home several dozen good
sized frogs for tho purpose Of stock
ing pond back of his house, but the
canton for which johnny ycarned had
been forgotten. Then his father talk
cd to bin about the duty Of submis-
sion 50 eloquently that Johnny really
felt glad that he had not got the can
non, and said he would not use one IL
he had hundred of them. That
night tho father thought hc had the
best little boy in the commonwealth.
The next morning he arose early, and
going to the tank where he had left
his frogs the night before was sur
prised to find it vacant. Hearing
loud shouts of childish laughter in
the back yard, he looked out and saw
Il sight that shook his confidence in
humanity to its very foundation. On
either side of II long brick wall, lead
ing down to the road, was n row Of
schoolboys, and between them on tho
bricks were his frogs, each with a
string tied to its hind leg. Looking
closely ho saw that every frog had a
hrecraclscr iammcd down its throat,
so far that only small part Of the
fuse end was visible. The boys stood
still, holding on to the strings, appar-
emily waiting for something.
"What on earth are those boys 60
ing to do?" asked Mr.. Marden of him.
sc.f. "And where is Johnny?"
That young gentleman soon came
out with iirebrand in his hand and
was hailed with delight by the boys.
Say, fel!ers," whispered he, "hold
your cannons still and I'll touch 'em
off all.at once, and we'll get outside
and see 'em go, and then l want you
to dust for your lives, SO tho old man
won't sec you. Are you all rcadyr
"hll ready
Johnny ran rapidly along the line,
touching the fuses with fire, while the
boys united their strings and evacu'
ated the yard. Before the fond fathe,
could say word there came series
of sharp reports in rapid succession
and his pet frogs Topped over on thei,
backs, stone dead.
"Wonder what the old man would
think of my cannons," said Johnny
as he ran down the street. Boston

ing judge playing poker in the

the sheriff prevailed on him to stop

played little game with the late
