They Have Been at Il.

To parties who are well acquainted
with Prof. Coleman, County Clerk Lowe
and Sup't Young, and who have seen
them leaning back in easy chairs with
their feet cooked upon a high desk, while
wreathes Of fragrant tobacco smoke
curled gracefully above their heads,
the idea Of their discussing the weed at
all especially to condemn their favorite
pastime, would seem ludierous indeed.
But they have evidently been at it, the
sly dogs! The following item, clipped
from the Long Island Argus, shows
what those gay deceivers did while
away from home.
Two papers were read at
the afternoon session, one by Mr.. w d.
Lane, subject, Practical Teaching. One
by MIR. G. NJ. Cole, subject. The injur-
ions effects OF Alcohol and Tobacco.
Mr.. Coles paper brought out consider
able discussion, pro and con. The stall
warm form of Professor Coleman, of
Phillipsburg, was the only Roman Of
them all 10 whom the defence Of tObac-
co seemed gratifying. The Professor
Oeld his own in the discussion admlra-
hly, although it was palpable that the
odds was decidedly against him. COun-
ty superintendent y IL. Young strenu-
Ously opposed the tobacco habit as
practiced by teachers, Notwithstanding
he permitted himself to occasionally IN
dulge in the luxury of good cigar.
County Clerk j. w Lowe, IL his own
good natured way, straddled the ques-
lion and intimated that 1t was good for
teachers to smoke, or not to, as the case
might be. Lowe evidently knows a
good from q bad cigar,

We happened to be in RocN ester, N r.. at one time during the engagement at the leading theatre in tn 1t prosperous city of Edwin Forrest. In compliance with an invitation from the stage man. ager we attended a rehearsal of the local stock company and the great tragedian and could see that the various members of the troupe were nervous and iii ai ease. Presently Forrest came upon the stage and his gruff roaring voice, flashing eye and threatening bro@ contracted into deep wrinkles completely awed even the most fearless of the actors. it came the turn of young super" to repeat his lines.

The boy, it aNesward appeared, had ssrayed from Ais nurse. and, wandering aimlessly about, had growa weary, and contcntedly iAllen asleep in the open air. Victor Hugo, la one of hts solitary ramhles, found the child just awakening, and recognizing him as the son ef iady whom he knew by sigAt, he hoisted him on to his back, and greatly delighted. eAntered with him across country to hts own house. A storm came on, and it was decided that tho youngster should aos be sent back that night A messenger, however, al~ layed the mether's anxiety, and next morning the boy was returned, together with protuse apologies. many thanks, and a huge basket ot flowers and fruit.

The Barbarous and Cruel Work of q Horde
of

D
of Banditti.
Stanley's Book on the Congo Country.
We discovered that this horde of banditti
was under the leadership of several chiefs. but
principally under karema and Klburuga They
had started sixteen months previously from
Wane kirundu, about thirty miles below Vinya
Mara For eleven months the band had been
ralding successfully between the Congo and the
Lubiranzi, on the left bank They had then
undertaken TO perform the same cruel work
between the Biyere and Wane Kirundu. On
looking at my map find that such territory
within the area described would cover 1G 200
square miles on the left and 10, 800 on the right
bank, equal to "a, 800 square mies-iust 9, 900
square miles greater than Ireland-inhabited
by about 100000 people. l was permitted
in the afternoon to see the human
harvest they had gathered-rows upon rows
of dark nakedness, relieved here and there bv
the white dresses of the captors. There are
lines or groups of naked forms upright, stand
ing, or moving about listlessly There are
countless naked children, many more infants,
and occasionally drove of absolutely naked old
women bending over basket of fuel or bans

cured by three copper rings. the mothers by
shorter chains, around whom their respective
progeny of infants are grouped, hiding the cruel
iron links that fall in loops or festoons over
their mothers breasts. After real
izing the extent and depth of
the misery presented to me, l walked
about as in kind of dream, wherein sa W
through the darkness of the night the steaithy
forms of the murderers creeping toward the
doomed town, its inmates all asleep, when sud-

astonished people. The slave traders admit that

and spreading carnage with lead and iron; ll8

of which is only educed this scant profit of 800
females and children and about 1000 tusks of
ivory. To obtain these 1900 slaves they must
have shot round number of 2, 500 people, while
1900 more died by the wayside through scant
provisions and the intensity of their hopeless
wretchedness
