Exploration Of New Guinea.

* * * SIN connection with the Waltham
Watch Company, it may be stated that
when the proprietors of Tile Agedesired to
present Mr.G E. Morrison (the explorer OF
New Guinca) with a reliable chronometer,
acting upon the advice of Mr.. R. L. J,
Ellcry, the Government Astronomer, two
Waltham watches were, however, procured
for Mr.. Morrison instead. These were kept
at the Melbourne Observatory for a fort
night, and thoroughly and carefully tested
and were pronounced by Mr.. Ellery, at the
end of that time, to be better suited for Mr..
Morrison's requirements than any chro'
nomctcr."-EXtract from Melbourne Age.

A Queer Character.

Mangin, the celebrated black-lcad
pencil maker of Paris, is dead. lie drove
every day in an open carriage, attended
by a servant. to his stands either by the
Place Vendomc or on the Place de la
Boursc. His servant handed him a case,
from which he took large portraits of
himself and medals with descriptions of
his pencils, which he hung on either side
of him. lie then replaced his round hat
with u magnificent FURNISHED helmet,
mounted with brilliant plumcs. For his
o@vercoat he donncd Il costly velvet tune
with gold fringes. lie then drew up a
pair of polished steel gauntlcts upon his
hands, covered his breast with Il brilliant
%cuirass, and placed Il richly-mountcd
sword at his side. His servant then put
on il velvet robe and helmet. and struck
up Il tune on an organ mounted i'll gold.
To the crhwds gathered around he then
exclaimed: II am Mangin. the great
charlatan of France! Years ago | hired
Il modest shop in the Rue Kivoli, but
could not sell pencils enough to pay my
rent. Now, attracted by lily sweeping
crest, my waving plumrS, my din and
glitter, j sell millions of pencils" This
was true. His pencils were the very best.

LOSING JOKE.
A prominent phy:i cian Of Pittsburg said
to a lady patient who was complaining OF
her continued Ill health, and Of his inability
to cure her, jokingly said: "Try Hop Bit
ters!" The lady took it in earnest and used
the Bitters, from which she obtained perma-
nent health. She now laughs at the doctor
for his joke, but he is not so well pleased With
il, as it cost him a good patient.
FEES OF DOCTORS.
The fee Of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in. We believe
the schedule for visits is $500, which would
| tax a man confined to his bed for q year, and
in need Of a daily visit, over $1,000 a yeat
for medical attendance alone! And one
single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time,
would save the $1,000 and all the years

THE CALL FOR SHELTER

Senator Henderson has bill pend
ing before congress which has very
innocent title; but il shows the out
lines of the cat very plaialy through
a.very thin sprinklIng of meal. 1t is
a bill TO provide a statute Of limita-
tions against the United States in
favor Of defaulting oiiici.ls, so that
their bondsmen can not bs sued after
q prescribed short period. The aim
of this bill is obvious. There are
thousands of defaulters or officials
who are Short in their accounts"
with the government. Political intlu
ence hitherto has sheltered them aud
their bOnd Smsn from civil actions to
rec over the shortage Under the new
administration, with other eyes to
look over the books, the list of the
defaulters will be enlarged by many
discoveries and political influence
will not avail to shelter those who are
liable, The new regime will be
reaching out for these deficiencies,
aud there will be no power in republi-
can senators to clog the wheels Of
federal justice. Therefore, as the
sinners cry for rocks and mountains
to hide them in the day of wrath, so
many Row feel the need of the shelter
of statute Of limitations.

An Infamous Traffic.

LONDON, Dec. 90 "A great sensa-
ton has been caused in Buda Pesth.
1t has been ascert4ined that regular
traffic ia Hungar' an maldens has long
beeH in existence, with headquarters
at Buda Pesta, and grown to large
proportions. Some of these unfor
tunates hove been decoyed to Brazil,
as In the case of those Intercepted at
Marseilles last week, but most of
them have been sent to Egypt to re-
crult houses of ill-fame in Cairo and
Alexandria, or to become slaves IN
the harems of Egyptian beys and
pashas, The Austrian imperial gov
ernment gained knowledge of this in
famous traffic recently and issued an
order prohibiting the expectation OF
women to Egypt unless accompanied
by some male relative or legal guar
dian. Since this order has been en-
forced the agents of the Egyptian pro-
curers adopt new tactics. They engage
victims to 20 to America for domestic
service, assuring them good homes
and situations, with chances of marry
ing well. Tickets for passage are
shown to the girls and small amounts
of money given them to purchase out
hts. They leave Buda-P Pesth in the
charge of agents, but as soon as they
get beyond the Austro- Hungarian
frontier, the route is changed. and
they are shipped to Egypt. When
they arrive at Alexandra there is no
further hope of their escape. and they
are thenceforth fated TO life of the
most debasing servitude. These rev.
elations caused intense excitement,
and several men and women alleged
to te procure-s have been arrested at
Buda- Pesth.
