Erplorer stnnlsv.. Id, chat.

Col Colborne. formerly attached to Hicks
Pashas staff, gives an interesting account OF
an interview he had with Mr.. Stanley an
hour before he left Shepheards hotel, an
Cairo, to commence his long journey. In tha
course Of conversation Stanley said. DO
you know that the Nile itself could be turned
of with comparative easel The Victoria
Nyanza IS OF a plateau like an inverted
basin. It couAi be made to trickle over at
any point The present King Of Uganda is
fond Of his liquor; waking up any morning
after drinking too much 'mwengf plantain
wine) over night, he might have what Is
called "a head on him and feel in very bad
temper. He might then take it into his head
to turn off the Nile; he might do this by
ordering thousand or so natives to turn out
and continue 70 drop stones across the Ripon
Falls at the top till they were blocked. To
do this would be quite possible calculate
this could be done by the number Of men
mention in nine months, for the falls are
very narrow. True, the effect Of this could
be counteracted in a year or so by reser-
voirs and dikes; but meanwhile the popula-
tion Of Egypt would be starved His father,
King Mtesa, once actually contemplated
doing this, not with view Of creating mis-
chief, but because he wanted to water some
particular tract Of land, and for this purpose
to make the lake dribhle over it"
Again lighting the stump Of his cigar, ho
now conversed about his probable route and
the time he would most likely take to reach
Emin. His faithful attendant at last entered
and began to strap up the portmanteau and
bag, a sign that the time for departure was
at hand. "Tell them," said Stanley, as
wished him every success and we shook
hands, "tell them at home that my mission
is purely pacific" forgot to mention that
he especially told me that perhaps the world
might not hear anything of him for months.
''I.et people remember that If l go by the
route l now intend, shall have to traverse
a tract Of country utterly unknownn-he
pointed it out to me on his map-''and it
must not be supposed that am lost because
am unable to communicate with the outer
world"-the same words that Hicks Pasha
used when he started on his second and i'll
starred campaign-London Times

The Location of CALVARY.

Every indication goes to show that Golgo-
tina, or Calvary, was a knoll outside Of the
Damascus gate exactly in the opposite direc-
tion Of that affixed by Christian tradition,
and which would do away with the Via
Dolorosa as a sacred thoroughfare, the street
shown as that along which Christ bore his
cross on his way to execution. Il isvsa-
probable that Calvary was the ordinary exc
cution ground Of Jerusalem, which is called
in the Talmud 1.-THE House OF Stoning, 4"
about A. D. l50 and which current tradition
among the Jews identifies with this knoll-a
tradition borne out by the account Of it con-
tanned in the Mishna, or text OF the Talmud,
which describes a cliff over which the con-
demned was thrown by the first witness. If
he was not killed. by the fall, the second wit
ness cast a stone upon him, and the crowd on
the cliff, Cor beneath it, completed his exc
cution.
1t was outside the gate, at some distance
from the Judgment hall The knoll in ques-
ton is just outside the gate, with a cliff
about fifty feet high. Moreover, we are in
formed that sometimes they sunk beam in
the ground, and cross beam extended from
it, and they bound his hands one over the
other and hung him up. Thus the House Of
StOning was a recognized place Of erucifxion.
1t is curious that an early Christian tradition
pointed to this site as the place of stoning Of
Stephen, the proto-martyr. The vicinity has
apparently always been considered unlucky.

The city cousin had gone down to the
farm to spend a month, and appeared on
the morning after his arrival, ready for
action, at the picnic which stood first in
the order Of events, He carried a cane,
and slowed away an umbrella in the
wagon; his hat was attached by a ribbon
to his buttonhole, another cord secured
his colored glasses, and a field glass was
slung upon his back.
Il do hope there won't be many mus
quitoes, said one of the party waiting on
the piazza.

pocket, replied the city cousin, calmly.

FleId NIarslala of Franoe.

The death Of ex-Marshal Bazaine leaves
only two living bearers Of that exalted mili-
tary rank in France-Marshals Canrobert,
one of the heroes Of the Crimea. and Mac
Mahon, formerly president Of the republic.
The republic is apparently averse to creating
field marshals; for no one has been appointed
to that rank since the fall Of the second en-
pire. The title, which was first established
as long ago as 1855, was rost lavishly usesi
by the two Napoleons, the first Of whons
created twenty-five field mRrshals and tba
last fifteen. But those were times OF war
and glory, when often the marshalis covete,t
baton was won by a single brilliant stroke o.
martial genius. If the piping days Of peac
should again give place to stirring events by
food and field, no doubt the republic would
create more field marshals and the poor con-
script be made happy by the hope Of somo
day finding baton In his knapsack.-New

of young and beautiful Circassian slave,
found floating in the Bosphorus, with her
hands and feet firmly bound with thongs.
The coust had the body identified as that Of
a girl who belonged to a wealthy Turk Then
It rendered the decision that the deceased
came to her death by drowning, she having
cast herself into the sea with the purpose of
taking her own life. The hrmness Of this
purpose was shown by the solidity with which
she had bound her own hands and feet before
throwing herself into the water.-San Fran

Lord Duasrln's AristoosTiatIo Appearances.


As ambassador at Rome Lord Dufferin
quite realizes the ideal Of the diplomatist as
pictured in novels. A dapper man, with
strikingly handsome delicate features, dan
difed in dress, and aTistocratic to his glove
tips, he is great charmer when it pleases
him so to be. Ladies think him delightful.
Men have sometimes misjndged him at first
sight, but have soon WINGED at feeling the
grip Of the iron hand under his kid glove.
A trick Of half closing his eyes, q slightly
affected drawl in his voice, nonchalant de-
msanor when he enters into conversations OF
the gravest moment, are puzzling to some
men who approach him and irritating to
others; nor does Lord Dufferin ever quite
renounce pose, except in those brief moments
when, his quick Irish temper being fired by
the stupidity Of somebody under his orders,
be rates the delinquent IN set terms. Never
theless, his most scathing retorts are always
delivered with a cool, half amused sarcasm,
or with grave scorn which brings all par
leying to a stop.-New York Tribune.
