THE CONGO CONFERENCE.
A French Paper Greatly DispIeased with
the Stand Taken by the Americans.

A French Paper Greatly Displeased with
the Stand Taken by the Americans
PARIS, Jan. 22.-Ld Memorial Dlplo-
mdtiQue is decidedly not pleased with the
behavior of the American delegates at
the Congo Conference. 1t attributes the
delay in the conclusion of the labors of
the conference to numerous proposals
which have been introduced by these gen.
tlemen, whom it styles, "Godfathers of the
newly-bOrn State" Henry NJ. Stanlev.
it says, ''speaks everywhere in genuine
Yankee style, attacking and insulting the
conference of the powers. The German
proposals would have been accepted long
ago but for American opposition. The
African association finds itself unable tn
secure the indemnity from France which
1t had hoped, and now wants to get con-
troll of the fertile mouths of the Congo
instead.''
PROGRESS OF GERMAN COLONIZATION.
LONDON, Jan. pa special dispatch
from Berlin says German colonization is
making rapid progress on the western
coast of Africa. An official report was
received to-day stating that a German eX-
peditiOn has formally declared the an
nexatiOn of Oglet Brahim in the Do
brecbaO country, n few miles north of
Senegambia. This action is understood
to have been taken in pursuance of an
agreement with France, which coun-
try has hitherto claimed a protectorate
over this region. A report of a more SEN
satiOnal character comes from Sierra
Leone to the effect that the German flag
has been hOisted in the interior of that
country which has long been held by Eng
land. This news, if confirmed, may lead TO
serious complications with England, as
she will probably be indisposed to give up
any portion of the fertile colony OF Sierra
Leone or to allow the Germans an outlet
to sea through her coast possessions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The House
Committee on Public Health to-day de.
cided that by reason of the late stage of
the season and the crowded condition of
the calendars, it would be impossible to
pass during this session of Congress such
bill to protect the public health as was
recently prepared by the delegates from
the various State boards Of health as
semhled in convention at Washington.
The committee, however, decided to re-
commend an appropriation of $4,000 for
the National Board of Health, and $780,
600 to be used at the discretion Of the
President in preventing the spread of
cholera should it appear in this country
before the next Congress assemblies.

AUSTIN, TEX, Jan. 22.-GOv. Ireland
in his inaugural address uses the follow
ing language:
Since my late message to the two Houses
was penned knowledge has reached me of
the perpetratlon of a series of horrible
crimes, murders and thefts on Texas soil by
lnXcurslons of depredatory bands from Mexf-
co. Since 1t has become known that neither
Mexico or the United States will sur
render one of their own citizens to
be taken to the other government
to be tried for crime, the people Oh the right
bank OF the Rio Grande have become embOld-
ened and they stand on Mexican sol, covered
with the blood of our women and children
and their booty in sight of our people. l have
made repeated efforts through the Secretary
of State to induce discussion of the propriety
of so amending the treaty of 1861 as to permit
any one, no matter in whose allegiance he
may be- to be extradited, but no results have
followed. Commercial treaties and money
affairs seem to be of more Importance than
the blood of our people. In the last few days
/ have written to the President giving him
full accounts of the condition of affairs on the
Rio Grande, and have also informed him that
Texas can II need be protect herself, and
the minute companies and State troops on
that border have been directed to protect our
people without Difference to nice points of in
ternational law. II Federal troops, whose
duty it is under the constitution, are too
tender to patrol the border, or if few com
panies in the interior TO make a show at dress
seem that their presence on our soil is of little

Several plans are under consideration.

The Principies ofLife.

Whoever studies the principles of life
will find In them unity which binds
together all events, all industries, all
joys, sorrows, and interests, and en-.
ables him to use them for the great end
of improvement. They are not ends in
themselves, but means to something
higher they are not life itself, but
methods by which we are able to ac-
cumulate life. The child looks at each
lesson as q separate task to be learned
for its own sake; but the mature student
sees running through all his studies
and connecting them the higher pur-
pose of mental development. So the
shallow and thoughtless look at each
circumstance of life as something to be
welcomed or regretted for itself alone :,
but the wise man or woman sees that
through them all runs deep principle,
the development of true manhood or
womanhood, and that only as that
principle is upheld and cherished can
the real value of external experien ces
be extracted.

A UaefOl Lesson

Nothing teaches patient like garden
All have TO wait for the fruits of the
earth. You may 60 round and watch
the opening bud from day to day but
it takes its own time, and you cannot
urge it on faster. If forced it is only
torn to pieces. All the best results of q
garden, like those of life, are slowly,
hut regularly progressive. Each year
does work that nothing but year can
do. Lear to labor and to wait" is
one of the best lessons of garden. All
that is good takes time, and comes only
by growth.
