had burned their huts, killed their
friends and dragged them off into
captivity. Tippu lib is the most
noted representative of those men
who are to-day inaicting more suffer-
ing upon their fellow creatures than
any other human beings-the pro-
fessional slave-traders of Africa.
Few of Tippu Tbs slaves ever
reach the Indian Ocean They are
sold among the numerous tribes on
the way to the sea. Long caravans,
however, richly laden with his ivory,
are often despatched to the coast.
1t was Tippu lib who helped
Stanley start down the Congo from
Nyangwe, the point where both
Livingstone and Cameron were de-
feated in their efforts to follow the
river farther. For some weeks
Stanley's little party was augmented
by over two hundred of Tippu Tbs
men. Twenty very dark beauties
from the great traders harem ac-
companied him on this, his first trip
down the Congo, where he is now
in absolute control of the river and
adjoining territories for about three
hundred and fifty miles below
Nyangwe. 1t was his slave pen
near Stanley Falls in which $500
captives were found two years ago
when the agents of the International
Association reached that point.
For many miles below these falls
Stanley was chased by large fleets
of canoes, and his party suffered
severely from the lances and arrows
of the most ferocious savages whom
he met on the Congo. These natives
are among the stpeaceable on the
Congo now, and one good reason is
that they have no weapons to fight
with. They have all been disarmed
by Tippu lib for distance of about
eighty miles along the river for dar-
ing to attack some of his men. DR..
LEM, the explorer, wrote from Stan
ley Falls in March last, that be-
tween the falls and the Aruwim
river the natives were incapable of
making any resistance. Gone can
rarely find among them," he writes,
"a lance or any other weapon ex-
cept small knives" DR.. Lenz adds
that "the influence of the opulent
Tippu lib is far greater all through
this region than that of the free
Congo State"
Tippu lib has thus far maintained
very amicable relations with the
whites. He has invited missionaries
to settle near him and has promised
them protection n. Y. Sun, Sept.

THE PEDIGREE OF. RAILWAY CAR
WHEELS.

BY very novel and ingenious
system the Lake Shore Company is
now keeping the pedigree of each of
the 10000 car-wheels which COM
bine to move it's extensive rolling
stock. Every well-regulated railway
company exercises more or less
oversight of its wheels, but there is
perhaps no company that has adopt
ed record so comprehensive and
satisfactory as that introduced and
now conducted by A. w. Davies of
the Lake Shore. Itgives complete
and individual history of each wheel
from the date it is received from the
foundry until it is worn out and
thrown on the scrap-iron heap or
reaches some other luckless fate. Its
size, character, date of pressure on
the axle, name of manufactures,
number, and score of other useful
points are first concisely scheduled,
yet with all the elaborateness of a
European passport, then it's history
begins. A glance will indicate how
long it has been in service or how
many miles it has travelled, what
mishaps it has met, for the life of a
car-wheel is as full of adventure and
exciting episodes as the most APP
proved dime novel hero, who its
mate at the other end of the axle
has been, under what cars it has
revolved, for what ailments it has
been treated, and host of other
interesting things in car-wheelology.
Why take such pains to follow in all
its ramiflcations the wanderings of
an insignificant $40 car-wheel? Sim
ply business, plain, unadulterated
business. The manufacturer war
rants his freight-car wheel to run
four years, or his passenger-car
wheel to run 10000 miles, and the
railway manager only wants to
know whether it fills the bill, That
is all, If it doesn't then the pur-
chasing agent will send back the un-
worthy wheel to the manufactures
and demand his money again.
Methods of keeping this record have
been very imperfect heretofore. A
freight-car wheel may have the date
of purchase stamped upon it and
may have been in the company's
service for six years before it is cast
aside, but half of that time it may
have spent in idleness in the shop Of
car repairs, in which event its guar
antee of four years service would

A STORY ABOUT THE CROWN PRINCE
OF GERMANY.

A writer in London Truth relates
that when "Unser Fritz" was
guest at the Tuileries during the EX-
hibition of 1867, he wished to see the
interior of the forts round Paris.
But as they were in miserable state
of defense, it was arranged to evade
complying with his wish. He, how
ever, managed in this wise to do
without an order of admission. For
some mornings he made early excur-
sions to distant places, accompanied
by a French aide-decamp who was
placed at his disposal. One morn
ing on his way to the Bicetre Asylum,
he said to the officer, "What if we
run up to the fort beside it?" The
aide-de-camp did not see the harm
and took him not only into it, but
into all on the south side of Paris.
With his well-trained eye the Grown
Prince saw the military poverty OF
the land, and the exact defensive
capacities of the line of forts.

LIABILITY OF FOREIGN VESSELS, IN
AMERICAN PORTS.

Washington, Sept. 9th.-Acting
Attorney-General jerks has sub
mitted an opinion to the Treasury
Department upon the question as to
whether foreign vessels are liable to
fine for every passenger transported
from one American port to another,
when passage is taken first to an in
termediate foreign port and thence
to domestic port. The case giving
rise to the opinion was that of the
Canadian vessel which transported
passengers from Cleveland, Ohio, to
Windsor, Ont, where the voyage
was temporarily broken, but re-
sumed by the same vessel and the
passengers carried to Chicago. The
Acting Attorney-General holds that

CENTRAL AFRICA'S RICHEST MAN.

The wealthiest man in Central
Africa is now on his way to the In
dian Ocean in response to letter
from the Sultan of Zanzibar request
ing visit from him. His name is
Tippu Tib, and he lives not far from
Nyangwe, the great trading point of
many black tribes on the Upper
Congo. Readers of African books
of travel have heard good deal of
Tippu lib, and as recent years have
greatly increased his power and
wealth, we are likely to hear much
of him.
Tippu lib is only forty-tive years
old, as black as coal, and of negroid
blood, which means that he comes
of an admixture of the coast tribes
of East Africa and has also very
little Arab blood in his veins. He
has been in Central Africa for
twenty-five years, and is to-day the
greatest slave and ivory trader in
the world. He has outstripped all
his competitors through sheer force
of intellect and strength of charac-
ter. AS long ago as the time when
Cameron introduced him to our
notice he visited Nyangwe and told
the bullying Arab traders there that
if they did not leave certain native
allies of his alone it would be the
worse for them. They lost no time
in pledging eternal peace with Tippu
Tib and all his friends.
Cameron says Tippu Tib was the
greatest dandy he saw among the
traders of Africa, and that, although
of negroid blood, he was a thorough
Arab in manners and ideas. All
his white visitors speak of the ele-
gance of his Arab attire and of his
courtIy and affable bearing. Stan
ley says that at his first meeting
with Tippu Tib he regarded him as
the most remarkable man he had
met among the Arabs, Wa !Swahili,
and half-castes of Africa. Lieu
tenant Van Gele of the Congo State,
who met Tippu Tib in January last,
says he was surprised by the extent
of his information on European
topics. He was familiar with events
occurring in Europe, and was par
ticularly interested IN the English
Germans and Belgians. "The ques-
tions he asked me-" says Van Gele
"showed that he is neither an ignor-
ant man nor one of ordinary mind. -
He said he intended some day to &c
to Europe, visit the King of the
Belgians, and also spend some time
in Constantinople.
In Tippu Tbs home, south OF
Nyangwe, Cameron says that large
gangs of slaves walking about in
chains met his eye at every turn.
They were leading easy lives, were
well fed and he saw no acts OF
cruelty there. All had been victims
however, of the crying wrongs that
are still decimating the simple
savages of Africa. They had beer

method of determining the duration
of this period of disuse, but the new

freight wheels are shown by black
ink, passenger wheels by red ink,
and locomotive wheels by green ink,
and another troublesome distinction
is obviated. And so the ingenious
and complex system unfolds. Some
valuable deductions may be attained
by this record. The relative merits

The late King Ernest of Hanover

Once His Majesty was really i'll for

again it was "Put it in the cup

Starving and patience were the only
remedies resorted to.
AT last His Majesty got his good
turn, and began to feel he could eat
again with relish; and by degrees
nature flung off the disorder, what
ever it was, which had run it's
course. His Majesty was up and
dressed early, and at business.
"Get all those bottles, powder, and
pill-boxes out of the cupboards, "
he said, ''and range them in a row

DISHONEST MONEY. GOVERNMENT
REPUTATION.
EDiroR BULLETIN 4.

EDITOR BULLETIN :
We believe that the following
postulatcs are, each and all essen
tial truths:-
Government should not exist in
national capacity otherwise than for
the rights, and best interests of its
subjects.
Government may not properly set
bad examples in public management,
of q nature to inculcate dishonesty
among its subjects, in values, in
trade, in private and public faith,
or indeed to the detriment of any
sound principle of morality. Clear
~ then, if government goes astray
in these particulars, what warrant
shall it have to repress similar acts
on the part of its subjects? None
only by popular sufferance.
Avoiding discussion having to do
with other matters, we will make
our argument herewith presented
solely on the basis of finance: Sec
ton 2 of the Hawaiian law regulat-
ing the currency of the Kingdom, is
as follows: "The silver coin of the
Hawaiian Kingdom are legal tender
at their nominal value for any pay
ment not exceeding ten dollars in
any one payment.
Here then is the situation. The
government has issued silver coins
which by its own dicta are rated as
being of dishonest quality; which
is TO say, that each coin so issued
falls behind in the intrinsic value as
compared with the intrinsic values
of its gold coins, so seriously as to
be deemed worthy to be excluded
in all tenders-Government dues
and taxes included-beyond the $40
limit in any case. 1t is said that
these coins are faulty to the extent
of 25 per cent as are the same in the
U. S. The L. S. example offers
no justification; it is guilty origin

greater degree, that is all.

minally set up to serve; and then to
refuse to receive the same at their

double headed fraud. 1t cannot

the honor and integrity of great
and prosperous nation.
The downward road of empire, OF
national greatness of whatever ad.
ministration, is paved from end tc
end with relics of this kind, stained
often, it must be admitted, with the
issues of unnatural strife, which
simple justice and fair dealing be,
tween government and the people,
would have avoided.

steer clear of the faults complained

Congress to restore TO enormous pay and

be learned from IL. In the late campaign

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: May
one who is spending short and delightful
time In your beautiful city crave the prlyl-
lege Of few lines for the purpose OF max
ing suggestion. Among all the architect
ural creations In Washington probably the
Washington monument will always stand
pre.cmnent. The subllmity OF the i'm
mense and severely plain structure, shoot
ing up to its great height, must needs strike
the beholder FOR the first time with pecu.
liar and almost aweinspirlng sensation.
Now In preparing the grounds at the foot OF
the monument great care should be taken
that they be SO graded and prepared that
the severely plain massiveness OF the struc-
ture, which is It's manifest characteristic,
should In no manner be detracted from, but
rather be made the more apparent and
striking. In what better way could this DO
accomplished than by having absolutely
nothing at the base but the green sward,
sloping gradually of, with neat;graveled
walk leading 10 the doorway. Any archi-
teetural creation In the way OF terraced
abutments, stone work of any kind, will
take away In some degree that sublimlty
which the monument presents. The mon
ument has, INTELLECTUALLY speaking, no
base, and In no way could its Doric-like sim
plicity and grandeur be better preserved or
more strikingly presented than by allowing
nature full sway IN the manner indicated.
