One of the most striking things to be
met with in the earlier pages of Emin
Pasha's journal is a reference to a report
which Is brought to light between Lado
and Dutile on the upper Nile, that q race
of dWarfs inhabit mountain caves to the
west of Beden. They were said to be
only forty inches high, Of a brown color
and of great agility, to eat white ants
and roots. and to shoot with very small
arrows which are poisoned and very diff
cult TO extract. The pigmies ne was IN
clined TO regard as a remainder Of a
dwarf population which years ago spread
itself over Central Africa. -Four years
later he himself comes upon specimens
of the Aka, a pigmy people, divided
into numerous small tribes, who lead
nOmadic life IN the MOnbuttu country.
One of these, Aka, had a reddish but
rather dark skin probably dirt). was
very prOgnathous, rather swagbelied
hut exceedingly nimbie. His height was
three feet six inches; his whole body was
covered 10y thick, stiff hair, almost ike
felt, which was especially thick on the
breast" A girl fourteen years of age
measured three feet and seven eights of
All inchin height. These people are said
10 be very expert hunters, but also very
vindictive, so that the neighboring
tribes are glad to let them have all they
want for maintenance IN return for skins
and feathers, the products of the chase,
which they prosecute with bows and ar
rows aIOne.-Chambers Journal.

The question Is often asked by those
who have naturally a deficient spprecia-
ton. ''What is the use Of fiowers?" says
the Country Gentleman. A recent writer
answers in substance, rather ingenious
ly: '"There are 500. coo, 600 bushels of
wheat grown annually In this country;
but we should not get a single bushel Of
it were it not for the flowers on the new
~ opened wheat heads, which fertilize
the germs and cause the grain to grow.
There are nearly ., 200, 600, 600 bushels of
corn, but every farmer knows that the
cObs would remain bare If it were not
for the pollen from the flowers above
dropping ON and fertilizing the silk of
the ears. There are multitUdes of other
plants dependent on their flowers in the
same way, worth millions every year.
The mistake which many persons make
Is ia taking it for granted that what Is
beautiful can not be useful and so pro-
coed to turn flowers out of doors, 3" for
getting that the existence of the whole
human race depends ON their useful

Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger, whose
brilliant letters from Russia IN one of
the daily papers last winter attracted so
much attention, has brought home with
her from the land Of the Gar a new fash
ish which Is destined to have many imi-
tators. She appeared at n garden party
lately In a black lace costume, Of which
the silk bodice was cut low and without
sleeves, the white skin being allowed to
show through the iaces. On her head
was wide black lace hat, and she car
ried lace parasol but to all this sum
mer bravely she had added long white
boa of Ihibetau lambs fur around about
her throat The effect was unique, but
rather charming on the whole, and be-
fore the summer is done it may be pro
phesied that a great many women will be
initiating her.-New York World.

THE FRIEND OF LABOR,

In the strike riots Of 1877 in Indian
apolis the railroad strikers to a man
recognized General Harrison as the best
and stanohest friend of labor and the
law; of high wages and order. lie it
was who went before the mediation COM
mittee and had the courage to say that
the men striking for better pay ought to
have it. He would not countenance any
disorder or unlawful procedure or inter
ruption of rights, but he hoped that the
employers would make concessions to the
men. And this manly position stood to
his credit so boldly that the true friends
of labor looked upon him then, as they
do to-day, with high regard and as
courageous champion. A few days later,
while guarding the property of the United
States from any possible assaults by the
criminal classes, who always seize upon
the time of great uprisings to ply their
vocation of plundering the railroad
striking workmen of indianapolis APP
piCuutu HIS dtllOlY SlHCC tIOf uOl
wish property destroyed nor mob to
seize upon the arms in the armory any
more than did any good citizen of
indianapolis. 1t was while doing
this guard duty to which Governor
Williams called him, that he declared in
response to nervous appeals of hot-headed
people to bring on conflict, that he
would never assault his neighbors except
II became necessary to maintain the majesty
Of the law. Such a spirit denotes the man
of clear conceptions of duty, of gentle
heart, of firm purpose, of broad humanity,
and pure motives. Still, few day later,
General Harrison walked into Court, and
of his own motion and without suggestion
or solicitation, petitioned the Court to sus-
pend Judgment and let the railroad work
ers who had been arrested and convicted
for preventing the operation of road, go
free, since the dignity of the law had been
maintained, and it was not the part of
humanity to punish the defendants, who
were Woodworking men of honest purpose,
when the end of the law had been accom-
plished. And the Court, on this petition,
set the men at liberty No wonder they
6ocked about him and shook his hands
and cheered the veteran soldier for his
gallant friendship; no wonder that they
went to the polls later and gave him such
aid that he ran thousands of votes ahead
Of the ticket he led unwillingly-because
he did not want the office-and after an
other leader had been withdrawn. These
acts we have recited stand to the eternal
credit Of General Harrison, and explain
why it is that because of them, and his
uniform friendship for labor, he is SO widely
popular in his State No wonder that Mr.
Ferguson of indianapolis, now visiting in
California, declares that he was the most
popular of men with railroad workers in
1877.

A STRANGE CASE.

We cannot understand why, under the
English laws, with which the people of
America are, as a rule, tolerably familiar
the 1TmesParnell letters were admitted in
the trial of 0Donnell There was no
proof offered that they were written by
Parnell, after the objection was taken to
them, except the assertion of the Times
proprietor that he received them from one
whose name could not be safely disclosed
If In this statement Of the case we are cor
rectly advised, the Courts extraordinary
admission of the letters must be adiudged
as in violation of the principles of COM
mon justice. The Times publishers would
not testify as to who gave them the letters,
and yet the Court permitted their preduc-
ton and refused to allow the producer to
be examined as to the source from which
the letters came into his possession The
simple reply of the Times that to disclose
the name of the person would expose him
to bodily harm and possibly assassination.
is an excuse that we cannot COMPREHEND
an American Court accepting. If the plea
of the Times was true, then the letters
should not have been produced at all.
Clearly it was the right of the defense to
probe for the source of the production of
the letters and to know if it was Identical
with the right of custody OF the letters.
Now comes Mr.. Parnell and charges, with
an emphasis that admits of no doubt.
that the letters are forgeries, and
he challenges the Times for oppor-
tunity to prove it. With remarkable
lack Of concealment of his line of proof
he proceeds to lay it bare and tell why the
signatures are forged-because ten years
ago he changed his signature and hss
never since used the old one, as the re-
cords show is true. while the letters
are signed apparently with the abandoned
signature. Other proofs of strong charsc-
ter he offered. and promised, if given the
opportunity, to establish By expert and
even stronger testimony that the docu
ments are forged The Government re-
fuses Mr.. ParnelI a committee of inyesti
CATION. Probably in this it Is justified by
strict rule, since it ia true that it ia mat
ter Of which the Courts can take iurisdic-
ton. But it was the part Of unwisdom for
the Government to- refuse Parneli the inyes-
tigation-it amounts 10 E confession of the
weakness of the Times case and the strength
of the defense of Parneu The question
has wholly distinct character apart
from any political issues between the Gov
eminent and the Home Rslers, as one ef
law and of common justice. The greatest
OF newspapers publishes damaging letters,
purporting to be written by Parnell,
which, if true, subject him TO trial for
criminal offenses; he denounoes these ss
forgeries; they are admitted in evidence
by Court on the trial of an Irish agita-
tor; the Government refuses to investigate
the matter though the letters are polit-
ical and the assailed party is legislator. !
In this strait nothing is left parnell but |
TO proceed against the Times in the Courts,
with the prospect of long and exhaust |
ing litigation at an expense he is not
able TO meet. Altogether it is |
