The Congo.

Stanley says the length of the Congo
River is 2, 100 miles, and that the Mis-
sissippi and the Nile together would
scarcely equal its tribute of water to
the ocean. From the mouth of the
river steamer drawing fifteen feet of
water can steam up 10 miles. at which
point a land journey of tifty-two miles
is taken on account of the rapids. Then
another steaming or rowing voyage of
lightweight miles occurs, which is sue
ceeded by land journey of ninety
five miles. After that it is possible to
steam up another LOGO miles. Along
this route thirteen stations have been
constructed among peaceful tribes.
The banks and people upon them are
now well known. The river marges
show wide belts of forests, in the shade
of which clusters of villages lie nestled;
while close at hand are gardens and
fields with profuse abundance on
their surface, and stores of mineral
wealth, it is believed, within their bos-
oms. There are spacious lakes also;
in fact, a known area of lake waters,
in addition to Lake Tanganika, of 30,-
600 square miles in extent, which will
probably be increased to upward of
40, 900 after more definite exploration.

A French Feed.

A New jersey granger sat down in a
fashionable restaurant on Broadway,
picked up the menu, which was plenti-
fully interlarded with French dishes, or
dishes with French name, glanced
over it, and then said to the waiter:
"Durn yur furrin things! Bring me
a good squar' dinner-roast beef and
baked potatoes, bread and butter, veg

and pud' N, and pie to top off with.

while he was doing full justice to the

commenced to read it.

The waiter smiled and brought him
a little oval dish of baked pork and
beans, supposed to be in Boston style.
The granger looked at it wonderingly
and said:
..Well, be burned if that don't beat

Mr.. Warren n. Carter Makes an Assign
ment for the Benefit of His Creditors.
Yesterday afternoon shortly alter three
O'Clock deed OF assignment was fled in pro-
bate court by Mr.. Warren n. Carter, proprie-
tor of the Lagonda House, 10 Chase Stewart,
Esq, as assignee. The assignment was q
surprise and quite shock to the business
community generally, aud much sympathy
was expressed for him. Mr.. Carter places
his assets at between 81 I, 900 and 81 900, and
his liabilities at between Sl3, 900 and $l4, 900.
His many friends, however, will be glad to
learn that the embarrassment is only tempo
rary, and Mr.. Carter will probably continue
to run the hotel Certain 1t is, it would be
hard to find a better proprietor. Mr. Carter
took the Lagonda House under very unfavor-
able conditions. The building itself was in
bad condition, and the table had not been kept
up to that standard which would
give it rank as a frst-class ho'~l The frrt
thing Mr. Carter did was TO renovate and re-
pair the whole building, get frsl-class office
help, and then lend all his efforts TO the table,
until now the Lagonda House is the equal OF
any hotel in a town of this size in the State.
II seems very unfortunate that ter all these
efforts he should be pushed to the wall while
tbs reputation OF the house still stands.

County Commissioners Rawlins, Kitchen
and Sterrett, accompanied by prosecuting at

the city work house here, only with build
ing in hch are cages for the gang and sep
arate from that small residence for the

do not give a very good osNibit of the ex-
pertinent, which is not financially successful; ;
in fact, the institution is run at a
loss, and legislation in its behalf
is now IN progress in some shape
at Columbus 1t was thought by our county
officials that an arrangement might be en-
tered into by which persons serving out sen
teuces in the county Jail might be sent to the
Xenia workhoase and their board paid, or
perhaps their labor given as an Offset for
boarding, but under the present regime this
could hardly be done advantageously. 1t is
understood the matter is not 20 be dropped
here Just vet, but negotiations continued TO
discover, if possible, some plan to mutual ad-
vantage. building with machinery tor
doing some coarse, ordinary work, like wood
saving for instance, is thought necessary.
AT all events, something ought to be done TO
make the county Jail less attractive as a win
