Olivier Pain,

Olivier Pain is French filibuster ex-
journalist and politician, whose name Just
now is possible cause for disruption be-
tween England and France.
During the Soudanese war Pain disguised
himself and found his way to the NIahdi's
headquarters. Anything anti-English was
welcomed in thar camp, and the Arab COM
mander was only too glad to make use of
Pains knowledge of affairs in order to
strengthen himself politically at Cairo and
even Paris. With PAINS help he obtained
information of the arrangements of the
British generals either from Cairo Paris or
London. The Frenchmau's knowledge of
modern campaigning tactics aided the Nah
di immensely in obstructing and finally
staying the Blush advance. The theory is
probably very true that Major Kitchener
put price upon his head, and subsequently
caused his death.
But Pain was nothing else but a f.ibus
ter, land pirate. His own government
tacitly disowned him. lie was commu-
mist, one who revclled in disorder, anarchy
and death His fate, when the French peo-
pie get over their present fever and dislike
of 'pei lidious Albion" will not be regretted
by them Hehas been treated by martial
law identically as Andrew jackson did the
English officer in Florida, and Justly too.
Olivier Pain took his life in his own hands
when joining the Mahdi. All the vapor-
ings of Rochrort in his incendiary La LanL
erRe will not excuse that fact in the sight of
olear-headed Frenchmen. And Rochefort's
threat of assassiuating the British Ambas
sador at Paris, Lord Lyons, or the Prince
of Wales will be laughed at
The Wilmingtonian., 1885-08-22
On to French Creek Falls.

The Fourth Monthly Excursion to French
Creek Falls, over the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad under the personal su-
pervision of Mr.. L. A. Bower, was given
last Tuesday, leaving Wilmington at 7.3C
| a. m.
Among the excursion party were the well
known Wlmingtonians Mrs. DR.. Wales and
son, Messrs. w. NJ. Candy, Eli Mendenhall,
j. T. Mullen, Councilman L. p. Grubb J.,
the Rows. E. L. Hubbard AMI r. NJ. Brown,
City Surveyor Robinson aud Mr.. Solo
mon Hersey of the Republican.
The day was an exceptionally fine one,
and as the Wilmington and Northern Rail
road skirts the Brandywine from du Pont
station to Waynesburg Junction, the pict-
uresqueness of the scenery is intensified by
its historic associations
By those to whom it has been given to en-
joy the advantages of general travel, it is
conceded that but few places on this conti-
nent possess the charms 50 dear to the tour
ist as the ride along the Brandywine.
Here you pass by a deep almost blood
curdling ravine, there a mountain peak
and just beyond you reach an agricultural
district, rich in cereals and other life giving
sustenance.
The great and charming feature of the
scenery through which the Wilmin gton and
Northern passed is its Kaleidoscope varia-
tions-it is absolutely free from the same
ness which characterizes so much of railway
travel; and yet it is surprising that so com
paratively few of our citizens have enjoyed
the wondrous beauties of this trip Many
of our people journey hundreds and hun
dreds of miles to see nature not near SO well
adorned as they have, literally, hy their
very doors.
French Greek Falls was reached after
most lovely ride Of little over two hours.
and che sights here confronting you at every
-tliis 4 sass aessr, iaa- Lnan the. side of
the mountain were huge boulders weighing
hundreds of tons piled one upon the other.
This section bears unmistakable evidence OF
terrible upheavals of nature and the con-
giomerate positions of the boulders excites
genuine wonderment.

confer with the Trustees of the Poor in ref
erence to the alleged extravaganza of the lat
ter.
Now to confer with ones subordinate OF
creatures shardly the proper position for Ithe
responsible or superior body to take. Were
the Trustees of the Poor an elective body
! chosen by the people some such action from
their superiors, the Levy Court, might be
comprehensive. But in this case the trus-
tees are amenable only to the members of
the Levy Court. An immediate and sum
mary investigation is the proper course, Just
as the head ofa firm would unbesitatingly
look into his subordinates accounts did he
have cause or suspicion of wrong. The res.
possibility and condemnation, il any, rests
on the head Of the Levy Court. A iudic-
ious surveillance should have been main.
tanned from the very first by the members of
that body. 1t is rdiculously unbusinessike
to talk mildly at this late date of confer
ence.
More stringent methods should be in
vogue. A mere investigation of the books
is worth less. We are ready to see printed
account, properly balanced, certified as cor
rect, all duly appearing in detail in the pub
lie press. But of what value is that? 1t is
not worth p!cayune. How will the cit
izens know that certain item, for instance
-one gross silver plated spoons at So per
dozen-is represented by so much value of
plated ware, in actual existence in the hands
of the butler or treasure keeper of the
almshouse? How can we tell that
these same IS per dozen spoons
are in reality only $ cent article! Has the
Levy Court placed reliable men in charge
of the public property at the Almshouse. If
they have not done so whatever condemna.
tion is the outcome of this Conference" must
be visited on the Levy Court.

Mr.. Bayard's Agent,

I
N. p Tisdel the person deputed by Secre-
tary Bayard to investigate Congo affairs is
out before the public with ano her report
condemnatory of Henry NJ. Stanley.
Why any credence whatever should be
paid to this mans lucubrations it is hard to
comprehend. He is possessed of no more
knowledge or information OF what he es
says to talk about than any reader of these
lines. He has not set his foot within the
boundaries of the Upper Congo! This is
asserted by Lieutenant Yalcke, the local
commandaut.
Mr.. Tisdel admits in his previous report
that he did not see the necessity of going
beyond Stanley Pool. But Stanley Pool is
the gateway of the up.country Congo This
disobedient servant of the State Depart
ment leaves undone exactly the most impor-
tant part of his mission, which was to re-
port on the commercial possibilities of the
Upper Congo. This useless agent is per-
mitted by MIR. Bayard to be lauded and
praised before the whole world for making
the report that he has upon country he
never set eyes upon. And now, unbridled
by the State Department, Tisdel, the ire
pressible, is out with another brochure, and
says che cannot see how or where it is pos
sible to create paying business in the up
country"
Such an announcement Mr.. Bayard
should be Informed, would be equally val
liable coming from the mouth Of hay-seed
politician of Appoquinimink or Squidnunk!
Tisdel is as innocent of any knowledge of
what he attcmps to talk about as those
down country folks would be, did they es.
Scarcely had the train stopped when editor
Hersey was seen making rapid strides for the
falls proper, and when last seen he was the
central figure of an admiring crowd of la
dies, describing in most glowing manner,
the violent contortions to which Mother
Earth must have been subjected during the
dsemboweling process of the pre-glacial
period
The pleasure of the day was materially en-
HANGED by the kindly interest which Mr.. L.
A. Bower took in the excursionists. Mr..
Bower took especial delight in calling at
tention to various points of historical i'm
portance en- route, and was untiriug in his
! efforts to make it a grand gala day for all.
say to dispatiate on the merits of the Upper
Congo Land.
If Mr. BaJard wishes to give the people
any worthy information on the subject, let
him quote facts from the statements of
those who have actually set foot on the ter
ritory referred to. Stanley has been tn ere,
of and on, Tor seventeen years-Tisdel has
not seen blade of grass Of III What is the
