HENRY M. STANLEY.
A Graphic Description of the Famous
Explorer of the Dark Continent.

A Graphic Description OF the Famous
Explorer of the Dark Continent.
1t is impossible to gaze upon the
ronzed features of Mr. Henry M.
otanley without a vivid recollection of
the famous picture of his first meeting
with Livingstone in the depths of the
Dark Continent. cdr. Livingstone,
presume?' was the historic phrase in
which the second greatest of African
explorers greeted the greatest. One of
the peculiarities of photography is that
it adds stature; and l had pictured the
founder of the Free State of the Congo
as tall, thin. wiry man, grizzled with
hard work-with, in short, all the out
ward attributes of an old campaigner.
But when there presently joined me in
the cosy drawing-room in New Bond
street, a gentleman somewhat below
the average height, with a thick-set
frame indicative of great powers of en-
durance, the well-known short mus
tache, and face deeply Drowned by
tropical suns as they shone upon forests
and plains where no other white man
has ever set foot, there was no
need for introduction. Mr.. Stanley
greeted me cordially, and settled himself
down in an arm chair as though, instead
of having upon his shoulders the care
of a State covering million and half
square miles, he had nothing to do but
to be interviewed. Upon the table lay
Belgian map of the Congo, showing
tho raSultS of the aynloratiOnS which
have been made since Mr.. Stanley's de-
parture for Europe, and the new vol
ume of the Almanach de Gotha, in
which the Congo is for the first time
included among sovereign States. The
world needs not to be- told that Mr..
Stanley is enthusiastic in his view of
the rich capabilities and the splendid
future of the Congo. But he has not
the manner of an enthusiast. His
speech is calm, thoughtful, based
upon facts and figures. When he wishes
to enforce point, or to clinch an ar
gument, he leans forward in his chair
and speaks with the subdued earnest
ness and the quiet energy of convic-
ton. One of the most salient impress
sions the interview left upon me was
that of II man possessing boundless
store of reserved force; capable of TAX
ing great decisions in a moment of SUI
preme crisis; a man of boundlessenergy,
with whom danger and difficulty have
been constantly present, and in whom
natural GOODNESS and fertility Of re-
source have been developed into an in.

AN INGENIOUS CLOCK.
The Complicated Time-Piece Constructed
by an Indian Firm.

A clock-manufacturing firm in Cal
cutta, India, have lately completed a
very ingenious time-piece in the shape
of an eightslay clock, which strikes the
hours on large, full-toned gong and
chimes the quarters on eight bells. In
connection with the clock there is
perpetual calendar which gives the cor
rect days of all the various months.
including the twenty-nine days of Feb
ruary in the leap-year. There is also
military procession worked by the
clock, representing various branches
of the British army, consisting of artil-
lery, cavalry and infantry, and the staff
in review order. There is also
sentry on duty who salutes drum
mer, who beats the drum, and a
bugler who raises his bugle to
his mouth every few minutes. All of
these figures are arranged at the top of
the dial. There is also a musical in
strument, which plays while the pro-
cession is marching in review. Near
the bottom of the clock is placed a
military band which is concealed by a
curtain, and which is raised every hour
when the music is playing and the pro-
cession is moving, and falls again inn
mediately after the clock has struck,
and remains drawn until the next hour.
The case, made of ebonized mahogany,
is about six feet high, three feet six
inches vide, and two feet six inches
deep, highly ornamented with brass
trimmings. The circles on the dial to
show minutes. hours, days of the month,
ETC., are engraved and silvered. The
center and sides of the dial are richly
enameled. At the sides of the case are
massive brass ornamental handles and
ornam entail fretwork. Chicago Sun

A CLEAN HOG.
Give 1t Chance and the ''Filthy Pig" VIII
BE a Decent Animal.

Give 1t Chance and the "Filthy Pig" VIII
BE Decent Animal.
The hog can probably endure as
much hardship as any of our domesti-
Gated animals; but is this any reason
why it should receive abuse, or be SUBJ
jected to hardship in any form9 We
think not. No one of our animals
more promptly responds to kind treat
ment and clean surroundings than the
hog. 1t is popularity considered filthy.
This arises from the fact that the hog
is usually confined to filthy quarters.
Is this the fault of the hog, or of its
owner? Why are its quarters filthy?
They were clean when the hog was
first put into them. Was it the natural
ifilthiness of the hog above other ami
mails that made its quarters filthy, or
was it owing to the narrow limits in
which it was confined? What could it
do in such quarters but make them
filthy? True, the hog likes to roll in
the mire in hot weather. So does the
COW like to stand in the running
stream, pond or mire in hot weather
The hog will take to clean water if it
can get it. Both do this for the same
reason because of 1.-THE grateful
GOODNESS of the moisture, and the
fact that the portions Of the
animal organism under water are free
from the annoyance of files. The hog,
like the bovine, also likes to lie in the
cool shade. Give both fair chance to
keep clean, and they will do so. Con-
fine them in too narrow limits and they
will get filthy. Given equal chances
and there is not much difference be-
tween the two. But the custom is to
crowd the hog into narrow quarters,
and compel it to remain there. Lack
ing human reason, it may not do the
best thing possible to keep clean in its
confined home; but in this respect it
will not display much more lack of
reason and hog sense than its owner in
not providing more ample room and
better natural facilities for keeping
clean. Give the hog clean bed, with
free locomotion, and it will keep it
clean. Give it wide field of clover to
roam and root in, and it will keep it
self clean, healthy and thrifty. Both
the hog and the owner will be benefited
by the comparatively wide range and
the succulent, heterogeneous food availa-
bic for the use of the hog. A little corn
meal, and it will have all it needs, and
be as happy and respectable as we'll
bred hogs should be. 1t will put on
muscle lis well as fat, and develop n
healthful meat for the food of the genus
homo. So do not complain of the filth
mess of the hog, and condemn it to
wallow in uncleanness, until you have
given it decent chance to be decent

Gen. Logan.

The year has been one of painful sur
prises in the sudden death Of men Of dis
tinction, and one of the saddest and most
unexpected Of these surprises is the death
of General and Senator John A. Logan,
which took place at his home in Washing
ton on Sunday afternoon. Gen. Logan was
born in Murphysboro, H.. in 1926, and like
Lincoln and Garfield. his eyes first saw the
light in primitive log cabin. His early OPP
portunities for education were limited His
patriotic instincts sent him into the army at
the outbreak of the Mexican war and he
came home a. quartermaSter Of his regi-
ment He studied law. and soon began to
be prominent in politics He was one of
the presidential electors who voted for
James Buchanan and went To Congress as
Democrat in 1858 In 1860 he was a sym
pathizer with Stephen A. Douglass, and
1851 found him an ardent defender Of the
Union cause. 1t is related Of him that as
spectator. with other Congressman. of the
first battle Of Bull Run he seized musket
when the disastrous panic of the Union fore
es began, and covered the retreat of many
a uniformed soldier He left Congress to
enter the army and was with Grant at Fort
Henry, Fort Donelson and before Vicks-
burg All through the great struggle he
was one Of the most marked figures on the
Union side. Tall. strong. swathy, with
long black hair and heavy mustache he had
a fire and dash which inspired the conf
dence Of his own men and carried terror to
the enemy He was man whom Gen.
Grant believed in and relied upon in every
emergency. His political career since the
war is matter Of record familiar to all
He was one of the original organizers of
the Grand Army of the Republic and its
first commander.
Gen. Logan ideas and methods were those
Of the politician and not Of the statesman
He believed in practical politics, and had
no sympathy with the ways or attempted
achievements of those who called them
selves reformers But he had an ugly hon
esty, an openness and straightforwardness
of purpose and a sincere devotion TO the
welfare Of his country which made him one
of the most valuable and respected men in
public life. In his public and in his private
career alike he was absolutely incorruptible
not dollar dishonesty gotten ever soiled
his fingers, and he lived and died poor
man.
Gen. Logan was especially fortunate in his
wife. to whom he was married when he was
little more than a youth and she a girl of 16
In all his career she has been his faithful
helpmeet. his warmest admirer. the always
alert and polite promoter of his fortune,
( and ambitions. 1t excites emotions which
are alike pleasant and pathetic to read Of
| the united and self-sacrificing efforts which
I the two were making to meet the interest
and payments and lift the mortgage on
I their modest home in Washington. The
home JOY is gone from the house forever
and it is well that sympathetic and gener
Gus friends have promptly taken care that
no anxiety about financial matters shall ado
to the distress of the stricken woman who
remains.
