Washington's Mother.

From his mother, who was a model
country woman and housewife for that
day-and for all days Washington de-
rived doubtless, in large degree, his
strong rural tastes, his system, his apti-
tude for order, and that memorable
method which, if he had been lesser
man, would have made terrible mar
tinet of him. The mother was full of
it; and | cannot but think that Sharples,
in his charming picture (the only au-
thentic painting we have of herr, has re.
fined away somewhat of her august
seventies and serenities of character.
She was always queen there, in that
Straffordshire home-with son, with
baiiif, with dependents all. If things
went wrong, she came to quick knowl-
edge of the lchy. Throughout her long
widowhood she clung to all the sim
plcities- seventies, LONELINESS and
out-of-door avOcations of country life
as if they had been royal inberitances.
And are they not? When, in her later
DAYS, Lafayette came to see her and
pay obeisance TO the mother of his great
friend, he found her in sun-bonnet
working in her garden; and she was not
caught at disadvantage by this chance
but wore, with unshrinking and royal
modesty, these tokens of her out-of-door
reign. When Washington, in spirit
of adventure, would have gone sea-
faring in the British navy wiled
thereto by the preferences of an elder
half-brother-the mother put her quick
veto upon it; but she never vetoed his
huntings, his daredevil rides, his wrest'
lings, his fencing, his leaping bouts
So he grew up sinewy, firm and daring
and with elements of manly leadership
marked all over him.-DOndld G. Mitch

Stanley's Autobiography.

Twenty years AGO | started on the
Abyssinian expedition. In June, 1868,
/ was sent to the Cretan revolution. In
1869 / went to Spain to report the Span
ish revolution. / was there from Jan
uary to October of that year, when l
received orders to 90 and find Living
stone. Before going to Africa | made
a few expeditions, first to the Suez
canal to interview Sir Samuel Baker
on the upper Nile. Then | went to
Jerusalem to see Sir Charles Warren,
who is now chief of police of London.
Thence / went to Constantinople to in
terview General lgnatieff on the east
ern question. Then | went to the Cri-
mean battle-ields to revive old memo
ries of 1862 and 1854. / crossed the
Caucasian mountains to the southern
part of the Caspian sea to Persia. Then
l galloped through Persia and on to
India. From there went to Zanzibar,
arriving there January 6, 1871, to be-
gin search for Livingstone. | formed
my expedition and started from the east
coast on March % of the same year,
and met Livingstone November 10,
1871, at Uiiji on Lake Tanganyika. In
May, 1872, | went to England, and in
December crossed to America. where |
remained until March, 1873, when re-
crossed the Atlantic and was sent to
Spain again. Then the Ashantee war
broke out on the west coast of Africa.
l went through that campaign and was
returning to England at its close. On
arriving at the island of St. Vincent |
received the first news of Livingstone's
death. Very soon after my arrival in
England the Daily Telegraph cabled to
Mr.. Bennett, asking if he would join
them in sending me to complete the
explorations of Livingstone. The
answer was satisfactory, and in October,
1874, arrived at Zanzibar for my sec
ond expedition. | finished Speke's eX-
plorations, threw little light on the
Albert Nyanza, circumnavigated Lake
Tanganyika and pressed on to the
great river which had lured Living
stone on to his death. | descended the
Lualaba eighteen hundred miles, and
arrived on the Atlantic ocean August
II, 1877. | returned my people to
Zanzibar, and then went to England,
where | wrote my book, " Across the
Dark Continent" Shortly after | was
commissioned by Leopold, king of Bel
ginm, to form confederacy of native
tribes on the Congo, which has since
grown into the formation of the Congo
Free State. This took six years to
complete, and in August, 1884, l re-
turned to Europe. Soon after my re-
turn | was engaged in the Berlin geo
graphical conference, which finished
its work February %, 1885. 1 have
devoted my time since then to writing
my second book, "The Congo, or the
Founding of the Free State" and to
recuperation, and the time has passed
rapidly. Thus you have, in nutshell,
my life; how | passed from Herald re-
porter to an African explorer.-Er.
