America to the Rescue.

AS America is the home, by adoption, of
Henry NJ. Stanley, the African explorer, it
seems proper that Americans should take
hand in the scarce for him. Stanley was
born in Wales i'll 1910. His original name
was John ROwlands. When no was three
! years old he was sent to the poor house at
st. Asaph, and remained there till he was
thirteen, receiving very good education.
After engaging in teaching for a while, he
was shipped as a cabin boy on a vessel
bound for New Orleans, and in that city he
found employment with merchant named
Stanley, who subsequently adopted him and
gave HIM his name. At the outbreak of
the civil war he enlisted in the confederate
army and when the war ended he traveled
in Turkey and Asia Minor. 1t was as the
discoverer of Livingston that he obtained
a worldwide reputation
Lieut.. Shufeldt, of the navy, is now in
Washington arranging for years leave of
absence, so that he can start for Zanzibar
by the end of this month to organize an ex-
petition to search for Stanley Shufeldt is
IA young man Of "a years, and has robust
health and a splendid constitution. He has
been around tho world, has made explora-
tions in Madagascar, and is acquainted with
the language used in Zanzibar He proposes
to make the journey from Zanzibar less ex-
penslve by utilizing the trading caravans
from the interior which leave Zanzibar
about the last of November; and when these
caravans have conveyed him to the farthest
limit OF their territory, he will take advan-
tage of others, which will carry him still
farther into the interior. A portion of the
expense of the expedition will be borne by
himself, but the greater part of it will be
shouldered 10y parties who are interested in

Malone and the Oolored voters.

John M. Langston, a cOlored politician of
Virginia, is not greatly pleased with Boss
Mahone's declaration that no colored man
snail be nominated for congress from the
Fourth Virginia district. Langston is him
self resident of that district, and he is
said to be the choice Of the colored republi-
cans for congress He is not ayerse To
bearing the standard of the party, and,
therefore, he naturally feels little indie-
nant when Malone virtually says to him
You shall not be the nominee of the
party" Smarting under this treatment, he
has appealed to Chairman Quay of the re-
publican national committee for protection
from Mahone's wicked methods, and his
personal organ, the Petersburg Herald
intinates that he will run as an indepen-
dent if he is shut out by the boss.
The fight between Langston and Malone
promises to be very lively, with the chances
that there will be two republican candi-
dates, and that the democrats will elect the
congressman. Malone will probably pre-
vent Langston from receiving a nomination

Cold Water Before Breakfast.

From the NeU York Mail and Express
A thin, tall man got up early the other morning
at the Fifth Avenue hotel and coming downstairs
ordered two glasses of water at the liquid re-
freshment counter. The trained bartender
smiled, but handed out two large glasses full of
pure cold water. The nfan smacked his lips and
said it was healthy drink before breakfast,
AMI one that he recommended.
You look thin, sir?''
"Yes, do, but if / had not drunk cold water
before breakfast l might have been in my grave

soluble compounds. In the morning the &C
cupulation of mucous is specially marked
when the gastric walls are covered with thick,
tenacious layer. Now, food entering the stomach
at this time will become covered with this tena-
cious coating, which for time protects it from
the action of gastric ferments, and so retards
digestion tubular liningsand viscid contents,

A - Noticenhle pifference.

There is a marked difference between the
methods Of tho democrats and republicans
in conducting tho campaign. Tho demo
Gratis have treated Gen. Harli-
son with every possible courtesy. The
democratic newspapers have sand nothing
concerning him of which he could reason
ably complain. 1t is true that they have
said his speeches to visiting delegations
were commonplace, and that his grand
fathers hat and trousers were rather large
for him, but such pleasantries are excus-
able
The republican newspapers have not
treated Mr.. Cleveland with equal cour-
tesy and kindness. They have, to some
extent, taken their tone from Senator IL
gals attacks upon him, and, hence. have
published some things which show that they
are conducting their campaign on much
lower plane than the democrats. They
have said some very bitter things about Mr.
Cleveland, but tlieir course will not have
the effect intended. Mr.. Brice, chairman
Of the democratic campaign committee,
said some days ago that, so far
as the democrats were concerned,
this campaign would be one Of intellect
He is certainly making it campaign of
that kind. The democratic press is follow
ing his lead, and is discussing issues rather
than candidates. The republicans, how
ever, find it difficult to restrain their desire
TO indulge in personalities, and they have
printed statements concerning Mr.. Cleyo-
land which are in as bad taste as they are
untrue. However. as the campaign pro
crosses, they may become sufficiently
ashamed of their indecent course u aban-
don it, and confine themselves to the issue
before the people

DR.. CROSBY.
And How Es Came TO Have a Summer
Home in the CatsEills.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
An interesting story is told Of how Rev. How
ard Crosby, D. D., LII. D, came to buy farm
of eighty acres in the Catsldlls.
He had been guest at a boarding house in
Pine Hills, Ulster county, for a few years. but
found disagIeeable fellow boarder He did not
want to be driven away, and he sew no way
out OF the difficulty until mis- unmarried daugh-
ter said:
Papa, why don't you buy the place?'
The chancellor pondered over the proposition,
and on one of his famous long tramps he met
the owner of the farm. The colloduy that en-
sued was short and sweet, and was to the point.
Do you want to sell this placer" inquired
DR.. Crosby
Yes, if can get my price"
How much do you want?n
u will sell for 5000 in ready money"
y Kill take it. Come t. my house at once
and sign contract. 1 will give you 500 at
once, and the balance in cash when the title is
shown to BE- perfect"
The bargain was consummated in week and
Or. Crosby was the owner of eighty acres of
land, containing maple orchard of 40 trees
furnishing all the sugar and syrup his family
can use in twelve months, and splendid apple
orchard. The house is q double one, with ex-
tension and in front is a babbling brook that
never runs dry, across which is a bridge near
the front of the dwelling
The former owner was directed to give imme
date possession. Miss Crosby furnished the
house with rugs, rattan furniture and bric-a-
brac; the boarding house ceased to exist; an I'M
pleasant associate was dispensed with, and the
popular New York preacher has pleasant sum
mer house on the ledge of the CalSGills, on the
south side of the mountain.
This section of the Catskills is a favorte re-
sort of Presbyterian divines, no less than
eighteen of them meeting at a tea party given
by Dr. Crosby in his new resort last autumn.

Deposits Of Waea.Farners.

! Mr.. Blaine's statement in speech the
other day, that the savings banks Of MaSsa-
chuSetts contained larger amount of de
posts than all the British savings banks,
was received with great deal OF applaue
by bis audience. Some of the Massachu-
| sets papers have taken the trouble to show
that Mr.. Blaine was mistaken, as he fire.
quont'y is
Acc riding to their figures, the Massachu
sets savings banks contain one-fourth of
| all the savings bnul- deposits in the coun-
try. Tins fact Mr. Blaine did not state
but left the impression that the savings of
the wage-earners Of one average state of
the United States were greater than the
savings of all the wage-earners Of the
United Kingdom.
The latest figures obtainabe show that
the deposits in the British savings banks
amount TO $j2S, sll ,5q4. and those in the
savings banks of Massachusetts to $780,
9s4.G24. The Boston Globe says that only
"age-earners are permitted to deposit in
the British savings banks, and their de-
posts are limited to $3.50 year, and $3.50 in
all. Rich people deposit in tho Massa-
chusetts savings banks, and there are no.
137 depositors in them whose deposits
amount to more than 1900 each Tho
charitable institutions also have deposited
in them nearly 100000 Deducting the

deposits of the British wage-earuers
In view of the fact that the population
Of this country is considerably larger than
that of tine United Kingdom, it does not
appear from these figures that the per cap
ita deposits of the wage-earners of this
country are much greater than those of the
British wage-earners. Mr.. Blaine should

The Georgia Colonel.

In his 'Scrap Book Maj Charles H.
Smith undertakes to explain tho existence
of so large M army of colonels in Georgia.
He says that in the earlier history of the
state, when militia musters were the order,
the governor, as commander in-chIef was
expected to be present at the mus tars in the
different counties, but as these musters
occurred throughout the state at about the
same Time and as he was not ubiquitous
the militia were reviewed by proxy An
aide-de-camp, with the rank of colonel, was
appointed in every county, and ne held the
titleas long az the governor was in Office.
''If the governor failed of denomination, y
says Maj. Smith, "these colonies retired too,
and new set were appointed, but the old
sst never lost their title, and SO the state in
course Of time got to be pretty full of
colonelsn
Mai. Smiths theory is quite an interesting
one, but it hardly applies to tho present
day, unless the title was willed with other
belongings to heirs. About all of the she
fore-the-warn colonies have passed away
long since, and there are comparatively
few who gained the title on the battlefield
At the samo time there are probably more
colonies in Georgia now than ever before.
Why is this! While Gov. Gordon, from
the numerical strength of his personal staff,
does not intend that this army shall suffer
for want of material, he has not been in of
flee long enough to reinforce it very greatly
The fact is that most of the peace colonies
are members of the legal profession. and
many OF them have the title fastened upon
them about the time they prepare their first
briefs. If any one can suggest a better So
luton OF tho matter than this, let him has
ten to do So

Learn to Be self-supportin0

New York is greatly interested in the
case of Miss Jennie Wehle, who, though the
daughter of millionaire, prefers to work
for living, and accordingly has become a.
typewriter in the Lincoln bank, of which
ex-Postmaster General James is president.
Miss Wehle is so well pleased with her work
that she has declined several times to relin-
quish it and accept fattcring offers of mar
riage.
When she announced her wish to learn
stenography and type writing as a means
of support her father and relatives opposed
tho plan. She was surrounded by every
luxury, and all the money she required
could be had for the asking. Why, then,
should she become "bread winner?" This
line of argument did not deter her from
carrying out her plans, and in six months
she was sufficiently expert as a typewriter
to copy briefs ard attend to correspondence
in her fathers law Office and after doing
this for year. she accepted her present
position with "A liberal salary. During her
engagement there she has been as prompt
in her attendance and as diligent in her
duties as any other employe of the institu-
tion.
Miss Wehle's action calls attention to a
very important fact, viz, that all girls, no
matter what the financial condition of their
parents, should tit themselves for some work
by which to support themselves in the event
it becomes necessary to do so. A great deal
may be learned at home, and many of the
schools of the country now fit young ladies
for different occupations. Girls who work
need have no fear of being "drqppedp by
associates and friends in society -The1nost
sensible members of society do not regard
work as dlsgraceful, and it is the compan-
ionship and esteem of such people which
are to pe desired. EIIU-fr0Tz-
