SMUGGLING LETTERS IN AFRICA.


Means Used by white Mon Among Saw
ages to Send News to Friends
Three scientific men, Emin Bey, DIR.
Junker and Signor Casati, have for two
years been virtually prisoners in the
depths of Africa. Hemmed in on n
side by the followers of the Mahdi they
retreated southwark until they were
stopped by hostile blacks not far from
the sources of the Nile. There they now
are in the Unvoro country, waiting for
the succor which two parties sent out
under Drs. Fischer and Lenz are trying
amid great difficulties to carry to them.
Though cut off from all hope of escaping
by their w exertions, they ave been
able to send a letter to their friends. The
fact has been frequently illustrated
within the past year or two that the
castaway in savage lands al often make
his sad plight known to the friends
whom it is utterly impossible for him to
reach except by letter.
The messenger who bore the missive
OF these unfortunates TO Victoria Nyanza
was probably just like those who until
recently were wont to travel over the
same road from the Egyptian outposts to
the great lake-an almost naked savage
carrying his letter in a split stick which
he borc high above his head when walk
ing through the tall wet grass. Postmen
like this have done a great deal of letter
carrying through African jungles. and
they have proved to be faithful and ex-
peditious.
The missionaries at the north end of
Victoria Nyanza for some months past
have virtually been prisoners in Rubaga,
and until recently none of them was per-
mitted to set his foot outside the town.
Yet in the dark days when no white man
could possibly reach them, and they
hardly dared to hope that their lives
would be spared from hour to hour, they
managed several times to communicate
with their friends in England. Hidden
in the garments of Arab traders, their
letters safely reached the coast, and were
read in England about three months after
they were written. In the same way q
number of white captives of the Mahdi
have contrived to send tidings from, then
prison huts in Khartoum TO friends in
Europe.
Six hundred years ago the man who
wished to send a message north from the
south end of Cochin, China, placed it in
the hands Of a courier, who was relieved
when about twelve to sixteen miles on
his way by a second courier, and thus
the letter was transferred from post to
post, the couriers travelling at a sharp
trot, carrying the letter as far in one day
as the ordinary traveller could journey
in three. Exactly the same method is
still employed to carry the mails over
this route. Along the royal road that
skirts the sea from Saigon through An
nam to Hue the couriers still hurry to an
extraordinary place with their mail
snugly slowed away in bamboo tubes.
The method of carrying the mail in
savage lands is here and there improv-
ing. 1t is now possible, for in
stance. 1000 miles up the Congo
river, to afiix to a letter a postage
stamp bearing the portrait of the King
of Belgium and the words Free Congo
State put it into IA civilized mail bag,
and send it on its journey to the sea. This
is a decided improvement on the black
native with his split stick.-New York
Sun.

An IMPARTIAL REVIEW.

The careful and generally well informed
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald reviews the work of the ad-
ministration and of congress from an i'm
partial point of view. The following ex-
tract fairly presents the result of sixteen
months OF Democratic rule in the execu-
tive department, with the two houses of
congress politically arrayed against each
other, affording the parties cq1al oppor-
tunity for a display of their respective
tendencies:
THE state department has looked vigi-
lantly after the rights of American citizens
abroad, and as recent Developments show
has successfully endeavorcd to SECURE the
removal of commercial restrictions on
some parts Of our commerce. In the in
terror, Indian and pension departments
abuses have been checked aud stopped,
and so far as bad laws permitted, the mon
slrous maladministrativn which has ex.
isted in the land Office for many years and
which made that place the stronghold OF
greedy corporations, has been remedied.
No one can pretend that the whole work
of necessary administration reform has
been completed. This is not possible
without the CO operation of congress, and
the Republicans controlling the senate
have played the game of obstruction very
skillfully and unscrupulously. But enough
has been accomplished by the administra
ton to prove both its will and capacity
and to show that if both houses of con
grcss were Democratic the country would
be greatly benefited by more effective re.
forms.
Concerning the work Of the admins
%tration, it can &c said that it has institut-
ed. without making a fuss about 1t, a
great number of needed reforms and
economies, and that it has carried on the
business of the country honestly and
efficiently and in a very conservative
spirit. The prophecies of Republican
lie .ders and the fears of Republican voters
that a Democratic administration would
make wild work with the financial and
other interests Of the country have been Ia
dicrously disappointed. The MANAGEMENT
Of the treasury has been in every respect
admirable; the financial situation is very
much stronger than when Mr.. Cleveland
came into power, aud the revenues have
been moro thoroughlv and hon,stlv col

tor adoption in order to restore silver to
Its old historical position" 1t seems
that nothing is required except the sus-
pension of silver coinage until the concur

butte OF national sovereignty, and may as
well be asserted without consultation with

The writer's son suffered with typhoid
fever during the heated term of last
summer, when the temperature Of the
room often rose to 90 or o. degrees, and
the patients temperature ran up to l05
degrees Fahrenheit and over.
A number of tubs were placed in the
room, and kept filled with ice, and the
doors kept closed. The temperature of
the o sank to so degrees or less, an
average Of 12 or 10 degrees below the
temperature OF the other rooms in the
house; and the cooler atmosphere not
only added to the comfort Of the patient,
but aided in keeping down the body tenn
perature, and materially contributed to
a final recovery.-Cor. National Drug

CONGRESS is so nearly at the end of its
present session that very little more gen
rral business will be done. Among the
bills that will probably be left over is tina,
for the repeal of certain land laws, in

lions that the friends OF the bill in the
house are said to prefer letting the meas

The logic Of the Pennsylvania kepub-
lican platform is that, because the country
has increased in population and resources
under a protective tariff, therefore protec-
ton has been the cause of iecundity and
wealth. Precisely the same argument
was once used in parliament to show the
manifold advantages derived by the col
onies from the fostering care of the Brit
ish government. 1t is as conclusive IN one
case as il was In the other.
