that James Stewart, &. T., who was
building the road between Lakes
Nyassa and Tanganyika, is dead.
Explorers agree that the unsalubrity
OF this country is largely due to the
fact that the excessive luxurince of
vegetation along the river banks
raises them above their proper level,
cutting off the drainage from the
plants. DR.. Schweinfurth and the
Portuguese explorers Capella and
lvens are convinced that a great
change in the climate can be made
by scientific drainage, and that, in
fact, the country drained by some
large rivers can be made healthful
and habitable by the expenditure OF
few thousand pounds.
Stanley's road building from Vivi
to Stanley Pool, between which
points river navigation in interrupt
ed by the Congo rapids, was a work
incredible difficulty, and the worst
of it is that much of the work has
to be done over again every wear.
] During the rainy season the cordu-
roy roads over the marshy lands are
many feet under water. and the
roads are half ruined. On the
plains the luxurient vegetation an
nually chokes the road with grass
weeds eight to ten feet high, and the
way has TO be cut through again.
In the forests alone is the work of
road making Of a comparatively
stable character. These terrible
difficulties combined with the dead
ly Congo combined with the deadly
Congo climate, have an unfavorable
effect upon the health of the Euro
peans engaged in the work. In
March when the miasmatic influen-
ces appear to culminate, few of the
Europeans escape the fever. So.
with indomitable pertinacity and
great sacrifices, the work goes on,
the full fruits of which may not be
reaped for generations to come.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
has just printed a detailed account
of Its expedition into the Florida
Everglades. About thirty miles
from Okeechobee the party entered
the grassy waters of the Everglades
and encamped on an island. The
only trees on this island were the
custard, apple and wild fig. They
passed through thousands of small
islands, some of which were slight
ly submerged, and all of which
were covered with large trees and
luxuriant foliage. In the southern
glades there was an abundance of

Rev. DR.. Webb ON Mr.. Blaine.

Rev. DR.. L. B. Webb OF Boston preached
At the Central Congregational church in
Hancock street, Brooklyn. recently. He
was pastor Of the Congregational church
in Augusta, Me-, when James g. Blaine
went there. Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine were
mem beers OF his church for several years.
"The house in which Mr.. Blaine lived, F."
says DR.. Webb, after the sermon, twas
just across the way from mine. SO that
could throw a aoughnut into his yard
from my piazza / remember we'll when
Mr.. Blaine came TO Augusta. He was
then about % years old, tall. thin and
not very strong looking. The Keunebec
Journal which was published in Augusta,
was bought few months later and he
became its editor Ho made good i'm.
preston and formed friends from the
first. lie was quick and ready, pleasant
in his ways, though he had good deal
OF spirit aud could defend himself and
stand by his good opinions.
He Mss II member OF my church and
took au active interest in its affairs then
and has since. About 1860 l received Z
call to Boston. Mr.. Blaine and were on
Intimate terms, and one night remember
walking down the street with him. and
sitting on the State house steps until late
hour comparing notes and speculations on
our mutual prospects. and he soon went
to Congress. / Thought that he was toe
young for such position, but he replied
that he could answer what was required
Of him then as wsll as vt later
period. He was enthusiastic and full OIL
aspirations, but l don't think he fully
realized At that time his own capabilities
or hardly anticipated his future. Nov
there Is good deal said about bis grsa,
wealth by those who know little about it
l believe know something Of his circum

would have been equally successful.

He never holds ill.will, and no one car
