how he shall have lawful wife and shall have lived with her continuously" for a year, or how he must have debts of $1 ,000 or more due to him, which he is expressly for bidden to prove by promissory notes or other acknowledgements. It is true that what Con- gress and Congressmen are really afraid of is not the Chinaman at all, but the doubtful vote of the Pacific coast; but that fact does not help them out much. It only shows that politicians in Congress, as elsewhere. are made towards by their greed of place and power, and that what they pretend is the will of the majority and must be-ebeyed is very who happen to be able to decide between two parties.
 Civilization is making progress in Africa. The best known of the cannibal tribes on the upper Congo are the Bangala< who yelled
 "meat" very loudly when they chased Stan ley down the river, but who have conceived
 the idea that their recent intercourse with
 the whites has given them considerable pol-
 ish and lifted them several points higher in
 the social scale than the neighboring tribes. For two years past they have been utilized as Congo State soldiers, steamboat hands and station laborers. They dress in Manchester cottons. carry guns and have acquired g smattering of the French language. They
 used to make war for cannibal purposes upon
 the people of Ngombe, and nowadays when a steamboat draws up at Ngombe with a lot of Banga1a on board the people flock down to the river and heap abuse upon the ancient enemy with all the epithets at their com- mand. To this torrent of Congo billingsgate the Bangala have only one response. They collect at the prov of the boat and shout "Savages! ssyages!" at the top of their lungs. Travellers say it is an interesting spectacle to see these reformed cannibais thus vaunting their superior civilization.

FOR A FREE PRESS.

The freedom of the press has received
 powerful support in an interesting and ina portant opinion by the High Court of Justice in England concerning the power of a court over newspaper publisher.
 In this case an application had been made
 to punish the defendant for contempt of court for having published sharp criticism of the result of @ trial. The High Court de- eided in favor of the defendant, holding that he was not subject to punishment Jus tiee Stephen admitted the existence of a power to punish for contempt in fragrant case of comment published during the trial, read by the jury and malieiously designed to interfere with the course of justice. But 1t was, he added, power based on 'a very vague principle" ," and one to be used only in an exceptional case, and then 'fwith the greatest care and caution." He then went on to explain that when decision had been given or verdict rendered the case was en- tirely different. "The court had then done it's work, the jury had reached it's verdict and they were given over to criticism and comment, and of that they could not com plain" In general "there was an undoubted right to make comment upon the conduct of judges and jurors" Justice Field held the same views. 'tIt is the right of all men," he said, "to comment on the acts and conduct of public men, whether judges or jurors" This is sound doctrine for England for any l other country where freedom is appreciated. ! It is a doctrine which is well understood in this country. As the New York Herald puts ! it: In this country it is not only the right but the duty of an independent journal to criticise judges and juries, and on the fear ! lessness and fairness with which this is done \ largely depends the due administration of l justice. It is a right guaranteed by federal and State constitutions. Any judge or court | that would attempt to interfere with the free ! exercise of the right would be simply cons demned bypopular sentiment as a man or
 8 tribunal trying to muzzle the press in vio- I lation of fundamental principle of our l form of government.

 "Whsn was young man." said the pol. itician, fI travelled in the southwest consid- erably, selling saddles, &c. On one of my trips stopped over night in a settlers cabin in southeast Missouri. The settler and his family were mighty cordial, gave me the best they had and made me welcome to 8 bunk on the floor with them. The oldest daughter was sixteen or seventeen years old and perfect beauty for her situation. She was the kind of girl novelist would break his neck to get hold of for a heroine. She'd be very picturesque and pleasing in book,
 but shudder when think of her in real life. She took quite a shine to me and be- fore we laid down she had told me nearly everything she ever heard. A heavy rain fell during the night, and as the roads had
 been heavy before, they were not passable
 the next morning. So had to stay at the
 cabin. The girl was very attentive tor the three days was there; and on the evening of the last day she said, sSay,is you uns narriedF told her tno,' and wanted to know why she
 asked. Well, if you uns ain't,' she said, i've uns might get spliced'

A Real Parasian Drama.

H.I
 A thoroughly Parisian drama threw Eau
 hourg Montmartre into great state of ex- citement on Sunday night. A cab had driv- en up to the police station, and from it had
 been removed the corpse of a young and pretty woman, dressed with considerable
 taste and refinement. The other tenant of the vehicle was man who appeared beside himself with emotion and remorse. The cab had been escorted for a few hundred yards by an indignant and turbulent crowd It was the old story of love and abandon ment. Madeleine Huart had been for some yesrs the annie of her companion, who was engaged in business; but on the death of his father short time ago he determined on breaking of all connection with the girl. Her remonstrances and appeals were in vain, and for some weeks the couple did not see each other; but Madeleine Huart did not take kindly to the new state of things, and, finally, she sent to her quondam lover letter after letter, containing protestation of affec- tion and threats in turn. On Sunday even | ing she proceeded to the abode of her for mer friends mother with whom he was ] dining, and handed to the porter note saying that if he did not come down at once he would make the acquaintance of q | little toy she had in her pocket Fearing ! that the young woman would annoy and

A Disguised Missionary.

t'In Delhi," said the lecturer, "I eneoun- tered an American missionary preaching on a street corner in the native dialect. His audi tors, think, felt good deal as we would if Chinaman talked in English of the deo- trines of Confuoius at the corner of Market and Stockton streets. He told me, poor man, that he had been in Delhi three years and had converted seventeen of the heathens, some of whom, by the way, he fed and clothed from the moneys given him by the old maids of New England. I met the worthy man, J he continued, ia couple of years afterwards eating late supper at the Palace Hotel in this city. He was eating oysters, covering each particular one with red pepper, and he said that five of his congregation having re- lapsed, he had quit, and was on his way home in disgust. The natives believed what their fathers believed, and that is enough for them. They ask no more."
