AN AFRICAN RIVER.
AStream that will Probably Prove
as Valuable as the Congo.

as Valuable as the Congo.
The report published by Lieut.. Won
Nlmptsch, of the German army, son-in-
law of Gen. Won l4oe, aid-de.camp to the
Emperor, says the London Times, gives
some very interesting details OF the jour
ney which he made with Herr Wolff, a
traveller in the service of the Congo free
state, and which has resulted in the dis
coYery OF a river likely to be of material
value to traders with the Congo. The
Congo, in its course from the southeast,
makes a very widelbend to the north, and
then descends again TO the Atlantic. a
very large tract Of country being en-
braced i'll this curve. Within this curve
is the river Kassai, which Lieut.. Won
Nimptsch regards as being "of even
greater Importance to commerce than the
Congo itself" Describing their journey,
he says that as far as Luebu the Kassai
flows through wide plains well adapted
tor cultivation, pasturage, and forests Of
palm trees and gutta-percha trees. There
are many villages on the banks, and the
travellers met with great civility in all of
them save one, the inhabitants of which
fled at their approach. 'One tribe" adds
Lieut.. Won Nimptsch, Twas remarkable for
its joviality. The natives accompanied
landed organized dances and songs in our
honor" There is great deal of ivory all
along the Kasssi, and large pieces of the
finest quality were readily given in eX.
change for empty boxes and tins. They
discovered several atf1uents of the kassai,
and they calculated that they were navi-
gable for distance OF $50 miles. "But
the most important a1iluent," the report
goes on to say, sis that which Herr Wolf
explored in the steamer Vorwarts during
the months OF February and March. He
assembled this stream to a distance of 430
leagues from It's mouth, and one OF it's
northern afiluents brought him within
weeks march OF Nyangoue. He might
have gone still further had his steamer
not met with an accident, for there are no
cataracts in this river. All this network
of navigable water, extending over more
than 5000 miles, is most admirable, aud in
future it will be possible to travel east
ward from the Atlantic, reaching Nyan-
goue and then Lake Tangyuteka by leav-
ing the Congo at the mouth of kassai,
without being obliged to ascend the whole
OF the former stream, thus avoiding the
Stanley talls."

which he told in the interview which had
with him, were simply his a0Itual mode
of expression. and perhaps at the same
time relief for his surcharged mind--a
pinch, as it were, of mental snuff.
Grant saw IN Stanton's office, and he
struck me as quiet and most unpretend-
ing thunderbolt of war. In the camp L
saw his tent, which was as plainly equip
ped as that OF any subalteTn, and it was
well known that he hated military parade.
OF his strategy am no judge, nor can l
pretend to decide whether any good pur-
pose was served by all the carnage OF
the last campaign; but beyond question
the victor Of Fort Donelson was felt to
be the military pillar Of the North. Grant
was thoroughly loyal both to the cause
and to his colleagues, l suppose it must
be said that he was ruthless. He GER
tainly was. If it be true that he refused to
exchange prisoners when his soldiers
were perishing by thousands in the muir
derous prison camp at Andersonville.
But if he shed blood without stint, he
brought the slaughter to a close.

AUGUSTUS LABOR TROUBLES.
Nine Shippers of the Sibiey Mill
Strike for More Pay.

AUGUSTA, GA, July 2S.-WithOUts strip
pers in mill grinders are useless, with
out grinders pickers are useless, and
without all a mill cannot run. Nine
strippers in the Sibley mill went out on
strike to-day, and if their places are not
supplied, or an adjustment of the trOu-
ble is not made by Saturday, the mill will
have to shut down, as by that time the
material now on hand and furnished by
this class of workmen will have been ex-
hausted. This strike is tor increased
wages, the strikers maintaining that their
compensation is much less than that
paid the men in the other
mills doing the same work. The
knights OF Labor say that they
know nothing of the affair. They neither
indorse nor disapprove it at present.
They will, however, take the matter under
advisement and act tomorrow. IL is
feared that this little trouble will assume
huge proportions before it is settled.
Matters are in a critical state at the
mills. 1t was learned to-day that seventy
looms were vacated by employees at the
King mill one day during the week. but
the matter was settled before it was made
public.

A VOLCANO AND A VEIL.
How, with a Bit of Silk, They Sough
to Cool Etna's Fires.


From Mes8inG Letter.
Immense volumes Of smoke issued from
Etna's sixteen new craters, and we were
half deafened by the Internal cannon ade.
On the way to NicOlosi, a beautiful
drive of ten miles, the villages through
which we passed were thronged with
peasants waiting to see the Archbishop
and st. Agatha's veil glory. In 1869 the
waving of this veil, it is claimed, turned
the lava stream, fourteen miles in
length and two miles in breadth, away
from Catania, thus saving the city from
destruction. Chronicles relate that the
veil worn by st. Agatha when she was
burned at the stake, 2j2 A. D., was I'M
touched by the flames; hence its influence
over earthquakes and eruptions.
At Nicoosi, whilst waiting for our
mules to take us to the lava beds. the veil
arrived. As the landau, drawn by milk
white horses. containing the Archbishop,
three other pillars OF the church, and a
small, gray silk package approached, the
air was rent with "ErYiva la Madonna!

church, where the old and lntirm. on their
knees, feryently besought the blessed st.
Agatha TO save their homes, their fields,
their lives. Five girls, overcome by their
conflicting emotions, tainted, but even
tually revived, under the comforting in
fluence of Bozeo--the wine OF the coun-
try. old men and women, young men
and maidens. all were in tears, and their
cries for aid and mercy drowned at
times the mighty tumOling beneath great
Etna.

feet from Nicolosi, and there remains.
