The report published by Lieut. Won
Ninaptsch, Of the German army, son-in-
law Of Gen. Won Loe, aide-de-camp to
the emperor. gives some very interesting
details Of the journey which he made
with Herr Wolff, traveller tn the serv-
ice Of the Congo Free State, and which
has resulted In the discovery Of o river
likely 10 be OF material value 10 traders
with the Congo.
The Congo IN its course from the
southeast, makes very wide bend to
the north, and then descends again to
Atlantic, very large tract OF country be-
ing embraced IN this curve. Within this
curve u the river Kassai, which Lieut..
Won Nimptsch regards as being -of even
greater Importance DO commerce than
the Congo ITSELF" Describing their
journey. he says that as far as Laebu,
she Kassai flows through wide plains
well adapted for cultivation, pasturage,
and forests Of palm trees and gutta-
percha trees. There are many villages
on the banks, and the travellers met with
great civitity n ali Of them save one.
the inhabitants Of which fed ct their
approach. One tribe, adds Lieut.. Won
Nimptsch, .was remarkable for its
joviality. The natives accom-
panied the steamer Ia their ca
noeS and when we landed, organ
lied dances and songs m our honor"
These . greet deal Of ivory ah
along the Kassai, and large pieces Of
the anast quality were readily given in
exchange for empty boxes and tins.
They discovered several afiiuents Of the
Kassai. and they calculated that they
were navigable for a distance Of $50
miles. @But the most important afllu-
enk > the report goes on to say, is that
which Herr Wolf explored In the
steamer vorwarts during the months Of
February and March he assembled this
stream 10 Q distance Of 400 leagues from
it's mouth, and one OF Its northern affiu-
ents brought him to within weeks

gone stiil further had his steamer not
met with an accident for there are no
catenots m this river. All this network
Of navigable water, more than 1900
miles, Is most admirable. and IN future
it viii be possible to travel eastward
from the Atlantic, reaching Nyangoue
and then Lake Tangyutcka by leaving
the Congo at themouth OF the Kassai,
without being obliged to ascend the
whole of the former stream, thus avoid

In the Hand. of Conservatives.

Twas talking the other day at the Palmer
house with bright, energetic young man
from a town not more than hundred miles
from Chicago He told ME in substance:
MY town is most discouraging place for a
young man Of push and energy. The busi-
ness and wealth Of the town are in the
hands Of lot of residents who are able to
live handsomely from their rents and in
terest, and who don't care whether the place
grows any or not In fact, some of them
would rather see it remain just as it is, for
they have become so attached to the old
landmarks that they do not like to see them
disturbed. No encouragement is given to
any new enterprise that may be started. On
the contrary, if it has any tendency to in
terfere with the business Of the old mer-
chants, they band together to crush the
newcomer out While other towns around
it, with no better natural advantages, are
pushing right ahead, ours is as dead as
last years bird nest"-Cor. Chicago

The President and His Visitors.

President Cleveland has queer way Of
expressing his interest in visitor If he is
pleased and is won over, be will stand with
his hands behind his back and settle way
back upon his heels If he drops his hands
to his side, you may be certain that he is all
attention, and is about to get at the facts in
the case But once let him bring his hands
together in front of him, you may be very
certain that the matter has been settled as
far as he is concerned, and that q further
audience is unnecessary. 1t is said that
there never has been an instance where the
President brought his hands together in
front Of him but that he accomplished the
gesture Of an emphatic and decided mega

The Horrors of yivisection.

Vivisection is terrible thing, even when
anesthetics are employed, but without them
an operator must have nerves of steel and
the heartlessness Of devil to perform it un-
moved Of course, don't pretend to say
that good has not resulted from it, but, I
repeat, il is horrible thing horrible be-
yond expression. Soma years ago, lot of
young students at Indianapolis operated on
O horse in cellar. The animal was tied to
stakes driven in the ground, and after two
or three futile attempts to chloroform it,
they went to work without To prevent the
suffering brute from making q noise, and
the cry of horse in pain is one of the most
appalling sounds on earth, they cut the
vocal cords All it could do after that was
to make Kissing sound, like wind escaping
from an air pump They penetrated the
cavities, sawed the living bone, and even
lifted out some of the organs. One Of those
who was present at the operation told me he
thought the horse would never die, and that
the scene haunted him for months-Dr J.
