twenty-five hundred wretched 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 amoug the most peaceable 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 a dis tance of about eighty miles along the river for daring to attack some of his men. Dr. Lenz. the explorer, wrote from Stanley falls in March last that between the falls and the Aruwimi river the natives were incapable of making any res; stance "One can rarely find among thenl," he writes, "a lance or any other weapon except 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 whit tes. He has invited missionaries to settle near him, and has promised them pro- tection.-N F. Sun.

GRASSES FOR THE PLAINS.

Successful Experiments With Blue Grass,
 Timothy, Red Top and Orchard Gras'.
 One of the most important questions for the farmer upon the great plains of the West is that of the proper grasses to replace the wild species. For some years the early settlers thought that the wild grasses could be depended upon for permanent pasturage and hay, but ex- perience has shown that they will not endure the new conditions to which they are subject when the country is converted into farms. The cattle and horses of the West can not long depend upon the natural grasses; they must have forage which is more nutritious, as well as more productive.
 A careful study of the problem upon the ground shows that Kentucky blue grass can be we'll grown upon the soil of the plains. In the vicinity of the old forts, where many years ago the United States troops were stationed, Kentucky bluegrass has been growing for long time. The seeds scattered from the hay used for feeding the horses germinated and took root upon the unbroken prairie sod, and in time actually crowded out the wild grasses. The hint thus acci- dentally given out has been acted upon, and 1to- day there are many fine blue grass pastures upon ground wh oh has never felt the plowshare. The usual practice now is to feed down the wild grasses as closely as possible, and then to SOW thickly with good blue-grass seed. When once bluegrass is intro duced upon farm it is only necessary to scatter blue-gras hay upon the wild sod. For this purpose the hay should be cut late enough, so as to have ripe seeds; it may be well-nigh worthless for forage, but its seed have high value.
 Timothy thrives upon the soil of the plains, and fields of it may be seen every year in Eastern Nebraska, which rival any ever seen in the East. It is now fast replacing the wild grasses for hay. On the low-lands boardering the Platte river, timothy furnishes perennial pasture, which endures the treading of cattle almost as well as bluegrass itself. It is now known, moreover, that timo- thy will produce seed of superior quail ty in great abundance, indicating very strongly it's complete adoption to the climate and soil.
 Of the other cultivated grasses top, orchard grass and others less con- monly known-this much only need be said at present, viz, that, contrary to general expectation, they grow we'll and in some localities are being extensively sown. Red top grows apparently spon- taneously in the sloughs, and needs but slight encouragement to make it extend its range. Orchard grass, while by no means favorite hay grass, is grown with good success. .-Ne6rdS6G Cor. American AgriculturiS.

A Magnificent Diamond.

The magnificent diamond, belonging to a syndicate and recently submitted to Queen Victoria for her inspection, has, in cutting, turned out to be finer and more valuable than was at first supposed. In its present complete shape it weighs 1SO carats, is of the first water, free from all imperfections and of extraordinary brilliance. Experts declare that it surpasses in size and quality all the historic diamonds, in- cluding the Regent, the Star of the South, the Orloff, and even the Koh-i- noor. Its value has not been deter mined, but must be counted by millions of dollars. The celebrated diamond belonging to the King of Portugal should, If genuine-of which some doubt is entertained-be worth, ac- cording to the rule of computation, some S28, 8,OOO,OOO. If the new diamond has greater value than that it will need to be brought over here. Nobody but an immensely rich Amer can would be foolish enough to purchase it.-M Y. Commercial Advertiser.

PORTLAND, Me, Aug. 2S.-A demand for
st. John comes from all over the State. He
will speak as often as possible and will re-
ply to Mr.. Blaine every time. st. John will
discuss living issues and will make a fresh
speech every night. The fight is more at
this time between the Republi-
can and the Third Party" than
between the old parties. On Monday
Hon. William Henry Clifford will take the
stump. He will reply both to Blaine and
Reed The ROckland Opinion, edited by
Oliver Otis, prominent Knight of Labor,
has come out for Clifford for Congress, ad-
vising workingmen TO vote for him rather
than for David 0. Moulton. the labor can
didate, whom they have no chance to elect.
The Opinion says:
The first duty of labor reformers is TO
defeat Thomas B. Reed. the attorney Of the
land thieves in Congress. Mr. Clifford, the
Democratic candidate. may not be an
ideal representative of the working mans
interest. but he does faithfully represent
the cause of labor reform 10 very great
extent. and his election could be a tenable
rebuke 10 the land monopoly ring, whose
creature Reed j.. and who is the worst
enemy Of the course of reform.
