think what these figures mean!
In personal appearance this remarkable
man is a magnificent specimen of well pre-
served manhood. He is over six feet tall, as
straight as an arrow, with features boldly
cut and finely finished.
His life work has been largely among the
Indians and he has probably labored longer,
harder, and been more intimately associated
with the red men than any other man
now living. When he went to Minnesota
there were no railways His faithful horse
carried him 5000 miles every year, visiting
the missions and churches in his diocese.
This same horse he computes carried him
49, 600 miles in his missionary work. In 1853
there were 10000 Indians in Minnesota. The
bishop knew and was known to many OF
them. 1t is said that many whom he first
met as painted savages are now civilized
Christian men, some Of them leading citizens
of the state.
During the great Indian massacre of 1885,
he had many narrowing experiences, and his
efforts had great deal to do with quieting
the savages.

suhterIngs I'm an Open Roat at Sea.

lfrom the London TlmeS.1 The Royal Mail steamer Kinsembo, whict has arrived in the Mersey from the west coast of Africa, rescued at sea, in an open boat, two men who had beeneight days without food or water. The boat had originally foul occupants, but two of them had died of their sufferings before the Kinsembo fell in with the boat. When the Kinsembo was near Old Calabar an object was deserted in the dis tance. It appeared to be canoe, but no occupants were visible. For fear there should be anybody in the tiny craft, Capt. Liversidge ordered the signal whistle to be blown. In moment or two there slowly rose from the bottom of the boat the form of a man.
 The steamers course was then altered, and on coming up to the canoe it was found to contain two natives one of the poor fellows lying helplessly at the bottom of the boat The two men were then helped on board, and the doctor of the steamer was soon in attend ance on them. When they had sufficiently recovered they told a pitiful tale of suffering and death. They were fugitives from Princes Island, fleeing from the joke of Portuguese masters. They were Kro oboys, aud had gone to Princes Island many years ago to work on the plantation for about year. When their period of agreement was up, they said they were not permitted to leave the island.
 They got clear of the island, but the third day tornado was encountered and the boat filled with water. The men had then to get out of the boat to bail the water. What little stock of fresh water they had was spoiled, and some of the paddles of the canoe were also lost. Day af- ter day passed without bringing any rescue until the eleventh day of their departure from the island. They had then been about eight days without food or water, excepting some salt water, which only made their thirst more intense.

Bicycles i'm West Haven

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In your issue of the 16th inst. the reporter of the bicycle discussion at the West Haven borough meeting says that "most of the bi- cycle riders are gentlemen and not disposed to ride over an innocent and unoffending public" want to try to correct delusion that the ''innocent public" seems to have in regard to bicycles. A great many people think that bicycle is a fiery, untamed steed that has a habit of riding down everything in it's way. The fact is that bicycle never hurts anybody but it's rider. In collision between a bicycle and pedestrian the latter would not be likely to get hurt, while the bicycle rider would be almost e1tain to in jure either himself or his wheel. So we may be trusted, for our own safety, not to run over" anyone. If our bicycles were mere playthings there would be some reason in the objection to them; but they are necessity to some of us, and it is going to be difficult matter to ride on the West Haven roads in their present condition.
 Why not allow bicycles on the walk the same as baby carriages, children's ''veloci- pedes" and other nuisances2 WHEELMAN.

THE OLD PARTIES.

Not long ago some people feared that the political prohibitionists would be the death of the Republican party, and some feared that the political laborers would be the death of the Democratic party. But recent of life left in the old parties and have made the political situation much clearer.
 It is certain that the Republican party is not growing weaker. The Brooklyn Union, one of the best of the independent papers, we'll sets forth it's condition in the follow ing: The convictions that made the first Re publican impulse so strong remain, and re- main with such force that the party has shown the extraordinary quality of inficting self-punishment for it's sins and steadily pursuing it's course. Every State election held this year shows that the men who have been Republicans are Republicans yet. In Vermont the party made demonstration that effort to punish public servant for the exercise of his judgment would fail; and in Maine, it showed that there is the usual Republican vitality which may be depended 6n to assert itself against all that Garcelon and Brown stand for in Democratic politics, but which will not permit itself to be reck-
 oned as the mere personal following even of
 the most versatile politician of the time. It would be hard to conceive what more satis-
 factory demonstrations of party integrity
 and stability could be given.
 The Democratic party does not show as
 much strength and coherence as the Repub-
 lican party. It is no more harmonious than
 it has been, but there is no indication that
 it will not hold together as well as it did
 when it was undergoing the discipline of
 continued defeat Therefore it now seems
 certain that there will be some moro con-
 tests between the two old parties, and that
 in 1888 little account will be taken of any
 other organizations.

time. At Ayr we arrived at length, but 6 drive of nearly three to the Burns cottage and monument remained. The latter was erected in 1920 at cost of seventeen thou, sand dollars. It is situated within an acre of well kept ground near the old cottage and good view of the adjacent country is fur nished, each object suggesting some stirring lines from the writings of the farmer poet. The we'll where the

 'Alloway's auld haunted kirk.'
 At the cottage, bearing the inscription, Robert Burns, born January 25, 1759; died July 21, 1796," the bed on which Burns was born is exhibited, together with many other objects of interest. Souvenirs on sale in the house were eagerly purchased by visitors, and after lunch furnished in the same building the 'fsuld kirkn was visited, which the poet attended when boy. It is ruin "a mere shell, the walls only remaining. Old graves in the neglected yard surrounding the church were scrutinized, including that of Burns father. Wearisome guides are shaken off, who reel off yards of Burns po- etry unbidden in a barbarous dialect, and in fict apochryphal stories on the miserable listener in ardent hopes of gain.
 But the hour for return has arrived. We IuuSl uOb llSS our SG0d"0E. I1Iu6 aI- forded we should have called at the residence of Burns niece, who resides in the neighbor. hood. So away we dash at a rapid rate ir our we'll filled omnibus over most excellent road, across

 On the way the Wallace tower, erected at the place of his imprisonment, is pointed out. It is handsome Gothic shaft built in 1885 and is one hundred and fifteen feet in height. The auld tavern which Burns fre- quented still stands. AlasI his convivial habits cut short a promising and extraordi- nary career at the age of thirty-six. His de- seription of Nancy and their blind and mu- tual infatuation for each other, verse of which is quoted, might also be applied to the seductive and deadly fumes of the bot tie. An undercurrent of religious senti- ment was ever and anon disclosing itself however, in his nature and writings, as the "Cotter's Saturday Night" and several other poems abundantly show.
 I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
 Naething could resist my Nancy;
 But to see her to love her,
 Love but her and love forever.

 Had we never loved sac blind1y,
 Never met or never parted,
