Is spite Of many adverse reports, emf.
grafton continues to flock to Africa from
= parts Of Europe. The valley OF the
Congo is receiving large share Of set
tiers. There are many disadvantages Ia
the country. but the English. tie French
and the Portuguese evidently think they
can endure as much as the Dutch Beers
have in another part Of the continent.
II is altogether likely that for several
generations to come Africa will rival
America In its inducements to European
immigration. The dark continent" Is
really another "new world" to the over.
crowded populations OF Europe. In
Egypt, England has hold which she
cannot release II she should 50 desire.
That country is doomed to fall perma'
nently under British control, which will
also tend to direct white emigration and
exploration ia the direction OF the his
toric land Of the Pharaohs, and Of that
great, dim and almost illimitabls region
known as the Soudan, made famous at
present by tho romantic career Of III
Mahdi.

Hanging at Brookiyn-A Botched
job.

NEw York, Aug. Alexander JEFF.
erson, the negro, who in jealous rage
killed Henry Hicks and Eama jackson,
also colored, and nearly killed Anna
Jackson, and slightly wounded his
brother, Celestial Jefferson, at Brooklyn,
was hung this morning in the presence OF
400 spectators. The knot slipped around
under his chin and his neck was not
broken. For a moment he was motionless,
and then kicked, struggled and groaned
as he slowly strangled. BY desperate
effort he got his right hand up to the
rope and tore the black cap from his
face, exposing its contortions and his
staring eyes. After he tore the black cap
away his band fell down by his side.
The eontortions and commissions of his
body continued for five minutes. Life
was pronounced extinct eight minutes
after the rope was cut.
