African Exploration.

The Movement Geographique pub
fishes a very interesting report of a voy
age of exploration undertaken by Cap
tain Van Gele and Lieutenant Lienart-
both of the Belgian army, who went up,
the river Ubangi in a small steamer,
capable of being taken to pieces and
carried overland when required. The
En-Avant, as this steamer was called,
left the equator station OF the 10Th of
October last year, and reached on the
2lst of November the Congo rapids, "A
point which had already been reached
by the English missionary Grenfell in
1884 and by Captain Van Gele himself
in 1886. 1t was at this point that the
difficulties began, for after leaving the
Congo behind them the explorers had to
get through, or rather over, six rapids,
divided from one another by navigable
basins. At the last of these rapids the
stream is nearly 1900 feet, and has an
average depth of about eighteen feet for
nearly thirty miles, at which point it
follows a course nearly due east for a dis
tance of ITO miles, which was the ok
IRENE point reached by the En-Avant.
The explorers described the country
through which they travelled as being
very fertile and picturesque, while the
inhabitants treated them with great

THEODORE TltTON IN PARIS.
The Hero of the Beecher Scandal liv-
ing Quietly in the Cav Guy.

One of the Characters about Paris,
writes a correspondent of the New York
World, sis Theodore Tilton. His long,
gray hair. which may still be called
luxuriant, falls almost upon his Shout
ders. which have n little stoop. His
features which have more and more
prominence and solidity as age steals
upon him, are somewhat white; his gait
has a slight SLOUGH, but, is still firm,
while his massive form seems to have
lost little of its ancient vigor. He usu-
ally wears "A soft SLOUGH hat, and his
dress is careless. He lives in a modest
Wayne American knows exactly where
and IS occasionally seen at the book
stores or on the Avenue de lOpera.
His principal place of resort is the Cafe
de La Regence, which is in
the Rue St. Honore, facing
the open place in front of the
Coincide Franchise. Here he drops in
every afternoon at 4 or 5 o'clock, and
here he may be punctually found thence
forward until dinner time, deeply alb
sorbed in q game of chess. | met him a
day or two ago and asked him about the
alleged posthumous statement of
Beecher about the scandal. He said he
was surprised at the use the American
journals were making of it,. 1t was not
new at all. In reality it was one of the
first documents given to the public when
the scandal first began to be talked
about, and a reply to it was published
Immediately afterward. 1t vas aston
ishing that the Herald should have
made a sensation out of such very ancient
material. The only explanation of its
course was that there was no one of those
now connected with the paper who
worked for it before the Beecher trial.
The mistake was not the fault of the
autobiography which gave all the facts
connected with the matter. He was
not inclined to talk any further on the
subject nor to reopen any of the ques-
tions formerly pending between him and
Beecher. Neither does he care to have
his personal affairs in general brought
in any way before the public, his only
apparent desire being to live-the
world forgetting, by the world forgot.
He is not engaged, so far as known, in
any serious literary labor, though he
is said to do some writing for some
American newspapers. AS a chess
player he is said to be a success

Bottles Containing Note Found on
Distant shores.

The way things drift when left to the
mercy of the winds and waves on the
trackless ocean, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, has always been
a matter OF great interest TO mariners,
and as nautical science mas beer devel-
oped within the present century special
attention has been paid to the general
trend and speed Of the various known
currents mt how they are affected by
the seasons. BY this mean the direc-
ton of q derelect drift can be
foretold with considerable exacti-
tude, but there is still much TO
tail, and experiments are constantly
being made in order to determine the
points not yet positively decided. The
Importance of finding accurately the
nature OF these ocean currents is very
great, particularly when from any
a shipmaster is unable for days to OBJ
tain a reliable observation of the sun
or stars in order to determine his exact
latitute and longitude. In such cases
he has to work out his position by dead
reckoning" by calculating the derec-
tions and distances sailed and the
amount of leeway made, together with
the probable effect on his course OF the
currents he has encountered.
The instances of long drifts at sea are
numerous and sometimes very interest
ing. A walking stick with the owners
lame INT address engraved upon 1T was
once dropped overheard in the ST. Law
renee river, and many months afterward
picked up on the shore of England and
returned to the loser. The photographic
Office pilot charts show the tracks of all
derelicts and wreckage reported adrift,
and their positions are corrected from
every available source of information.
The track of the logs of the Leary raft
is now shown to extend more than half
way across the Atlantic. Recently q
floating wreck, which was abandoned a
short distance from Cape Hatteras, was
found in the Bay of Biscay after a
long voyage of eleven months. Ere
q~uently captains will cork up a bottle
bearing a slip inside with the date and
position, so that its drift when picked
up can be ascertained. This practice is
encouraged by the photographic service
and every captain after emptying a bot
tie of bear at sea is advised to place his
date and position in a well corked bottle
and set it adrift. Sometimes, of course,
these waits meet with misfortune, as in
the case of two of which it is related
that they were found in the stomach of
a shark that was killed by the crew of
the vessel from which the bottles had
been thrown two days before.
The two chief currents at the north
Atlantic ocean are the gulf stream and
equatorial current, which are. however,
practically one under two names, the
flow being from the equator up one side
of the ocean, across and down the other
side. Thorough and accurate observa-
tions of these currents are being now at
certain points by the United States
survey steamship Blake, and all obser-
v~ations made by other vessels at about
the same time must contribute materi-
ally to the value of the results obtained.
Such reports a"S therefore esteemed of
Especial value by the photographic de-
partmcnt at the present time.

they reached q public house outside the
beaten track, and into this place OF re-
freshments the inspector followed them.
Oddly enough, their arrival appeared
to be expected with some impatience,
for quite 81 assemblage of their friends
greeted them with enthusiasm. Drinks
were ordered by the poor man who had
just been ffshed out of the Seine, and as
they were being discussed he gave the
company a graphic account OF his adven~
ture; but the story was n very
different one from hat which the hor-
ror- stricken spectators OF the thrilling
incident would have related. Instead
OF eliciting EXPLANATIONS of sympathy
and congratulations, it was received
with peals of laughter, in which,
strange to say, the rescued man and his
gallant preserver joined heartily. The
whole thing had been got up between
them. One man threw himself into the
river to attract the attention Of the
crowd; the other followed, and the tale
OF the suicide was trumped up. The
accomplish gave his money to the friend
whom he had pulled out, in order that
the bystanders might be induced to
contribute freely. The ''little game"
however, vas entirely spoiled by the
police inspector marching the two
rogues off to the nearest station. There
are many such imposters in Paris.

PATSY FALLoN STABBED.
Cut In the Abdomen BY n Man He
Hnd Rcfricnded.

Patsy Fallon was severely stabbed in the
abdomen last night by the large blade of a
penknife in the hands of John Rohner, a
bartender who has worked in various saloons
about the city. His last place of occupation
was at the. Arcade hotel, and since he has
been out of employment he hasbecn befriended
by Fallon. Last hight he called at the saloon
of the latter on Twelfth street, and lningllng
among acquaintance he engaged in the fun
that was going on. Fallon took part in the
sport, and in some m amer knocked a cigar
from the mouth of Rohner, who demanded a
fresh one. To this Fallon agreed, and was
in the act of handing Rohncr one when he
drew his knife and remarked, You had
better -" This remar exasperated Fal-
lon, who replied, who replied. 'Now pll not
give you one" Then Rohner struck him
over tho head with an umbrella, which he
held in his hands, and made IA break for the
door. Fallon followed, and the two met on
the sidewalk when Rohner stabbed him in
the abdomen and made good his escape. The
wounded man was removed to his room, and
will he out in a few days.

Colored

Boston Herald: journalism among
colored men in the country is on the in
crease, and there are several examples
of it which demonstrate ability. The
Cleveland Gazette is a paper which has
for S everal years evinced spirit and
tact in it's general conduct, and the
Philadelphia Sentinel is n which dis
cusses public affairs with candor and
capacity. These are weekly journals,
and the time for the daily press repre-
senting colored men does not appear
vet to have arrived. 1t is to be
hoped that the period is approaching
in which every man will be estimated
on his merits, and there will be no call
Jor divisions on the color line; but
while this continues, it is agreeable to
find the color line SO we'll represented.
If we can get him clear of politics on
the color line, a great point will be
gained in the south. That intelligent
journal, the Atlanta Constitution, re-
marks that the negro is not now end
never has been IA menace in its section.
He does not desire social intercourse OF
an intimate character with the whites,
and nobody a%pprehends that it will
come. The real antipathy to him
arises from the extent to which poll
ticians have abused his confidence and
used him to promote their own corrupt
ends. When this is YER ace preju'
dice will be less often heard of.

The Ugly straw Hat.

When VIII q handsome straw hat
eser be made?" was the question put to
q Fulton street halter yesterday.
What shape would suit you?" said
the halter.
''That is not the question:" said the
reporter for the New York Mail and
Express. II am not expected to fur
nish designs, but to criticise them is
my"
"Excuse me-" said the halter. "That
is the question. Straw hats are made,
or have been, in every conceivable
style and shape. If any of these shapes
had suited the public they would con
tinue in favor, but what suits one per-
son doesn't suit another. New York is
rather peculiar in respect to straw hats.
In other cities there will generally be
prevailing styles every season, but in
New York everybody seems to want q
different kind, and it is purely a matter
of luck with the halter whether he he
can strike the public fancy"
"What will be the style this summer?"
sit is impossible to say, as | just eX-
planned, but a sort of derby-shaped hat,
with a half fiat top and a nearly fat
brim will be introduced. l think it
will have a go, but that is a mere guess.

short there is nc time to wait and see

some Jour weeks after you give your
order to get your stock ip."
"What kind of summer hats are
liked best?'
The Mackinaw straw is by all odds
the best. Nobody wears a Panama now.
They are the hottest hats you car put
on. They will not hold water. What
made them favorltes at n time was
that they were expensive and durable.
The Manila hat is a favorite with some.
1t is light and cool. and is made in any
shape. There was a Manila hat with a
very broad brim worn a few years ago
hat was very pretty, but New Workers
will not wear broad brims now. Then
the lawn tennis hat of white felt is Ia ia
vorite for travelling and for seaside and
hotel wear. 1t is better and prettier
than a cap for travelling, and goes just
as well into the pocket. The helmet
hat, which was copied from the cork
helmet of India, I've had much of a go
here. 1t was too clumsy and big"
"What other kinds of straw are there
besides the Mackinaw?"
ooh, several. There are English
splits and the English Dunstables. Some
of these are so fine that it takes as much
as sixty yards of braid to make a hat.
Then there are the Milan braid, from
Italy, and the Canton braid, from Chi
ma, but the Mackinaw is the best"

A MEETING OF TEACHERS.
An Interesting Programme at the As

Pretty school marms and pe~dagogues
circled together yesterday afternoon in the
law library of the county building, on the oc-
casion of the quarterly meeting of the
Douglas County Teachers association.
Despite the lnclemency of the weather there
was a large attendance, and the interesting
programme that had been Prepared was
highly c.sSSyou. MIR. A. w. Parker's paper,
"Needs of our schools and how to get them,''
was an able and thoughtful document, and
was ably discussed by Miss Florence Warner
and Mr.. A. Z. Agee.
"Arithmatic" was the subject chosen by
Miss Eva NJ. Pervine, and she made some
most valuable suggestions during her dis
course. Miss Jessie Noyus and Mr.. ID. w.
Warner aired their views on the subject.
"What to do with dull pupils" was clever
ly and happily handled by Mr.. c. e. Nc

kindness until they got as far rs the
tributary of the Bangasso (2l degrees

wich), from which point the attitude of
the natives became very hostile. Upon
the LIST of January they had to repel
their first attack, losing two OF their
men, while five days later they we're at
tackled by land and water. They were
then 81 degrees and 55 minutes east
longitude, or within one degree OF the
point reached by Juuker upon the Uelle.
But the state Of the steamer, the shall
lowness of the water, the extraordinary
density of the population and its very
hostile attitude made this appear too
great a risk to be worth running, and
Captain Van Gele and his companions
accordingly returned down stream,
reaching the equator station on the LIST

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Strange Reunion of Mexican War
Veterans After Forty-one Years.

strange OF Mexican wax
Veterans After Forty-one Years.
One OF the strange Condolences which
are popularity supposed to occur only in
the productions OF the romancer, says
the Detroit News, was encountered
Saturday afternoon at the Russell
house. Secretary Starkey, OF the water
board, was with some OF his G. A. X.
comrades, and "reminiscences comprised
the conversation. Nobody tells a story
better than the genial secretary, who is
the veteran OF two wars, with plenty OF
vim and patriotism for a third. His
re~collections OF what he had seen, heard
and experienced while helping TO knock
out Santa Ana were listened to with an
interest hat called for incident after
incident, and those who pulled their
chairs closer soon made a crowd in
which the old soldiers were In the
minority.
II was pretty young when I first go
own among these greasers," the secre
airy was saying. ~ had been foreman
of the Kalamazoo Telegraph. One af-
ternoon | was setting up n poem writ

boiling point, when / threw down the
stick, gave vent to u few red-hot SEN
fences while Jerking myself into a coat
and hat, rushed down stairs and inside
of five minutes | had enlisted.
81 saw a good many strange things. l
remember one when | was among the
boys dong police guard duty in the City
of Mexico. Some poor devil guilty OF a
capital offence had been convicted. He
was confined in u strong cell within the
walls Of the Montezumas. One of our
lieutenants went TO read the death SEN
tence and | wa ordered with him. The
cell was opened at his order and the Of
ficer grimly read the fatal finding OF the
court. l have never forgotten the Clog
ing words: And the sentence of this
court is that you be hung by the neck
until you are dead, dead, deadl'
1.-The victim of this judicial finding
did not comprehend it, and SO said in
Spanish.
est means that you are to be hung
until you are dead, - you'll emphat-
ically exclaimed Lieutenant Black, who
had read the sentence, and he clasped
his hands about the fellows neck to as
sist his understanding. The profanity
and the pantomime were essential, for
they were forms of language the Mexi-
can could take in without an inter-
prefer. I've often wondered what be-
came of Black"
Among the listeners was a tall ma
with military bearing, whose face was
noticed to whiten and his eyes to
brighten as the story progressed. He
drew closes and closer, apparently re-
sisting an impulse to interrupt the
yarn, but he restrained himself until
the last sentence was spoken.
That's a story l haven't heard in
forty years" he broke in with agitated
voice, land every word of it's true.
Who are you, anyhow"
The speaker was Colonel Black, in
command at Fort Wayne, and he is the
former lieutenant who had read the
death sentence to the Mexican prisoner
while Private Starkey stood by, forty
one years ago.
