Fort Conger, in Lady Franklin Bay,
at a latitude of 82.8 where the first
two years we're spent. Even simple
catarrhs were unknown, the only thing
from which the men suffered being oc-
casional rheumatisms and stiffness of
muscles and joints. The party had
ferocious appetites during all the long
sojourn in the north, each man eating
with relish three meals of animal food
and two lunches every day, and crav-
ing fat, though not to the extent which
some Arctic travellers report. Not
even when the thermometer registered

indulge in crude blubber or tallow
candles, which tradition has desig-
mated as the customary food of Arctic
voyagers; nor was even pemmican re-
garded as a rare and dainty dish by
them. Canned meats, of which they
had an abundance during the first two
years, and a steak or ragout from the
walrus, seal, or polar bear, were priced
as the essential conditions of we'll
being. AS for spirituous liquors, they
were used with great moderation, and

WAR IN AFRICA.
Probability of an Uprising of Natives
fha ILrnrnr.

Probability of an Uprising of Natives in
the Upper Congo.
PARIS, May 22.-The French Societe
Geographic has received news from the
Upper Congo that the large Moham-
medan population inhabiting that
region, excited probably by stories of
I'll Mahdl's success, have resolved to
assert their claims to the center of
Africa. The immediate occasion of
this extraordinary movement is said
to have been the conduct Of one of
Henry M. Stanley's ivory expeditions.
This expedition and theconvoy guard
ing it were commanded by an agent of
the International African Association.
Instead Of descending the Congo
River, with it's valuable collec-
ton of ivory, to Stanley Pool
and Vivi, the expedition proceeded I'M
der the protection of a powerful Arab
chief, named Tipu Tab, asUward, to
reach Zanzibar. Tipu Taib had not
known OF the existence of ivory fields
in the interior, until he saw proofs of
it in the rich shares gathered by this
expedition, and as soon as he had dis
charged his task as escort, and learned
all he could, raised a powerful army
and proceeded into the interior. The
stories about Ell Mahdi and his ex-
pulsion of the English from the Sou
dan are supposed to have been
carried to the turbulent Moham-
medans by Tipu Taib, and it is
feared that they may make it very
difficult for the International African
association to carry out it's projected
work of establishing the free state of
Congo. Tipu Faib's army is exceed
ingly strong. Three thousand of his
soldiers, it is said, are armed with
modern rifles. This army, the report
states, is now advancing making it's
way by pillage and massacre. Ara
wilma station has been sacked and de-
stroyed. The negroes who inhabited
it fled in panic before the attack.
Tipu Taib has proclaimed the Congo
as territory belonging to the
Sultan of Zanzibar and he has
announced his intention to suppress
all opposition to this claim The
country around Lake Tangamjika is
at present the center of the movement
started by Tipu Tab, but it is thought
that all the Mohammedan races living
n the belt of territory running thence
n both directions across the CONT
nent will be seized with thenew fanati-
cism which promises such wealth and
power for them.

French Idleness and Absinthe.

l1uTaS LeUeF IN NCO OfteunS ftcuyunc.j
That there is going to be great deal Of
suffering in Paris this Winter seems quite
certain. really believe that there are alto
gethcr too many hungry people even now in
our midst, but notice that the brandy and
absinthe mills keep on doing rousing busi-
ness even in those quarters of the town where
the most distress is said to exist. Too many
French workmen have themselves to blame for
the present state of affairs. They can do work,
but they won't; they can be Industrious but
they seldom are; they are economical by nature,
but love of absinthe, strong wines and fiery eau
de vie has almost completely mastered them.
Your Paris wOrkmen would scorn to work six
days in the week; even five days are too many
for some, while others labor but three, and it
was this continued idleness when there was
work that gives them so much cause to fear
famine and cold now that there is no employ
ment to be found Walls of distress ought to
be coming up from the rural districts, if from
anywhere. Agriculture in France is in very
bad way indeed. Farmers and their kind are
obliged to pay third of their produce into the
Treasury in the way Of taxes; the figures are:
Products, 1868, 100000: annual taxes, $191 ,200-
000-a very considerable slice is it not? This
is because of the economic system of free trade
that has existed in this country since 1860. 1t
costs French farmer more to send sack of
wheat from Meun to Havre, distance of 285
miles, than it does an American clipper to send
it across the Atlantic to any port in France.

from this city, noble buck with magnificent
antlers sprang up from thcket near tho track
and darted off at superb speed down the rails
in front of the engine. Engineer PEBBLES put

lantiy starred in hot pursuit while .he passen-
gers from the windows watched the unusual
and exciting spectacle with eager interest.
Steam and science, however, soon told upon the
wild grace and strength of nature, and the big
putting engine gained upon the painting buck
Finally, when only about 90 yard separated the
two, the engineer secured pistol from pas
senger, and, taking his station upon the cow
catcher, prepared for fatal shot. Suddenly,
with burst of instinct, the deer burst from
the track and disappeared.

them. He now has his house fortified with
