A Month on the West Side of the
Dark Continent.
From the Ne,o York Jfau.


Mr.. w. p. Tisdel, the well-known Afri-
can explorer, has had adventures enough
IN the Dark Continent to fill half dozen
books like 1.-THE Arabian Nights" A
pen portrait Of the explorer has already
been given by the uGU and EGDress, and
also an account of his daring trip UP the
Congo river as far as Stanley Pool,
The fact that he has lived through
so much danger, survived levers
that carried poor Livingston of, and hum
dreds of other white men, and wandered
for days through jungles so high the sun
never penetrated them. are proofs that he
is a man Of great courage and wonderful
vitality. He speaks five languages, be-
sides number of negro dialects. With
the elephant rifle, pistol and sword he is
an expert, and also an adept with that
powerful weapon the pen. He loft on the
steamer Trave, Wednesday, for Dresden,
where his family is located. He related
to Mail and Express writer, just before
he departed, an incident in his varied
career.
"Some time ago." he said, 81 was

ascertained that the shaft was broken
and that we were at the mercy of the wind

and left us no alternative but to take to
the boats. BY careful managing we
landed safely and saved all nv outfit.

Obituaru.
MR.. PI.INY SHEFFIELD,

The painful announcement of whose death
has carried sorrow and regretful pain to the
hearts of his weeping relatives and mourning
friends, was laid at rest in the city cemetery
at Crescent City, on Sunday, the 9th June.
1885, numerous friends and relatives being
present to pay the last sad rites to the loving
departed one.
He was born in Camden county, Ca, in the
year 1922, hence was sixty-three years of age
at the time of his decease, June %, 1886. He
was married to Miss Naomi V. Morrow,
daughter of Judge VIM. Morrow, Of Crescent
City, Fla, in the year 1873, with whom he
lived happily till last November, when he had
the sad duty of placing her IN the vault IN the
city cemetery at Crescent City, Fla.
When quite young, his parents moved from
Camden county to White Spring, Fla. He
was industrious, and obedient to his parents
and, as man, he loved business and an active
and energetic life. Though he was for years
a great sufferer from dyspepsia and neural
gia, which was a sad drawback to his success
in life. But, nevertheless, with his economi-
cal and Industrious life, he succeeded IN ac-
cumulating sufficient means TO render him
easy and comfortable during his last days.
He leaves an aged mother. three brothers ana
two sisters to mourn his loss.

A MEXICAN WAR JOKE.
Advertising for One Thousand Men
to 20 to Mexico

From the Charleston Is. o. Netos and Courier.
Mr.. John Ahrens, the Council street
grocer, who is of facetious turn OF mind,
a week ago inserted the following adver-
tisement in the News and Courier:
w ANTED. for three months 1000 men TO
w go to Mexico. Apply to John Ahrens,
IL Council street.
Since advertising, Mr.. Ahrens has been
persistently drumming up recruits for the
Mexican war regiment and has met with
varied success. Some Bourbons declare
they would not fight for the United States I;
some citizens say that they cannot leave
their wives and families, and others in
sist that they are physically incapable OF
fighting and show the marks OF wounds
and scratches received, they say, in the
service of the Confederate States; others
again, wild with enthusiasm, have i'm
mediately enlisted ''to 90 TO Mexico for
the term OF - and pledge ourselves to
obey all officers and never refuse to do cur
duty when called on"

How delightful to clever girl of l5 or l6. who then perhaps enters upon regular school work for the first time-how delightful it is for her to find herself at the gates of new world of thought, to feel the thrill of proud exultation which runs through her as she gazes at it, and eXclaims with pardonable enthusiasm.

How pleasant, again albeit somewhat dangerous receive the respect and admiration which her schoolfellows will lavish upon her, so long, at least, as she is sweet-tempered as we'll as clever--to respond to the many demands made upon her for Just one thought, dear, to put into my essay on 'Procrastination' I've put in all the dictionary says, but that only fills up half my paper!'-to hear the in variable, 70, Ida will tell you that-she knows everything!' And then at the prize giving, how stimulating is the sense, not only that she is the observed of all observers, but that she is receiving the reward of work well and earnestly done as she bears away prize after prize only tempered by the regretful wish that poor Melissa, who is so sweet, but any thing rather than clever-and other kindred spirits-could have had some thing more to rejoice in than the suc- cess of their friend

ENGLISH HOSPITALS BUEI4I by
CHARETY.

In England hospitals are built and main
ttined in all her cities by pure charity, and
anybody taken sick OF meeting with an ac-
cident in the streets can be admitted at
once and healed by tirst-cIass physicians
and surgeons entirely free of charge, and in
the ease of very poor people this is a great
blessing, for they are attended to and nursed
in a mannervery much superior to what
they would meet with in their own homes.
a certain Sunday in every year is set
apart for 4 special collection in all the
churches, chapels, etc. and a certain satur-
day in every year for a collection in the
different factories. workshop, stores, offices
and all other places where manual labor is
employed. The money thus collected is
all put into one fund and then divided
among the different hospitals, intirmaricS,
etc. You viii therefore see that by this
system the workingman contributes his
quota equally with his wcaIthicr brother,
thereby giving him II feeling of indepen.
dencc in accepting the benefits of the in
stitution, for there are many workingmen
to whom the idea of receiving charity i'll
