'nrfr.tt Made from Dissertations.

y Baltimore publishing firm a while ago
wanted a picture of Tippu lib, the celebrated
trader of Central Africa. 1t happened that
az that time no picture Of the king of the
slave dealers had come from Africa, and so a
centlcmau of this city undertook to collate
for the use Of the publishers all attainable i'll
formation about the personal appearance OF
that worthy. He found in the writings Of
Cameron, STANLEY, Van Gele, Gloerup and
Dr. LEM sons minute descriptions OF Tipru
Tib, and with the aid of this material the
Publishers made IA picture Of the big Central
African. Since then two woOdcuts made
from photographs Of the trader have come
10 hand, and 1t is seen that the Baltimore
picture deserves to rank almost with the en-
cravings as a very good likeness Of Tippu
Tib. Probably moi One. in a hundred times
could a portrait be made merely from descrip-
tiOns that would, on the whole, so nearly re-
semblc the subject a. In this case. Success
in this instance was due largely to the fact
that most OF the writers, regarding Tippu
Ti5 as the most striking personality they had
met in Central Africa, gave very minute and
detailed descriptions of him.-New York sun.

The latest amendment TO the German
Constitution provides that every person
who is physically able shall serve seven
years in the standing army. His term Of
service generally begins in his twentieth
year, or at a period when in this country
he would be on the threshold OF a career.
The first three OF the seven years are
given to active service and the last four
TO the immediate reserve. His Obliga-
lions are, however, by 10 means at an
end when these duties have been full
filed. For five years more he is in the
ranks of that part of the Landwehr first
liable to be called upon in an emergency.

The discussion in the House on the
tariff for the past few days does not
promise well for the Republicans. The
close of the three days debate on the
sugar question finds the Democrats sol.
idly united and successful in resisting any

anew the hopeless division in their

down that taxation, imposed not accord.

THE STATE FAIR.

From seven to ten thousand people
were on the grounds on Thursday,
and a good attendance on the other
days. Everybody was in good humor
and enjoyed the occasion. The weather
was charming and perfect. The ex-
hibits in many of the departments
were fine. The speech of Senator
Vance was the event of the occasion,
because it was a speech in the interest
Of agriculture and because Senator
Vance made it. Racing, football
games and excellent music gave zest
and life to the occasion. Prof. Meyers
and his balloon both busted. He
made his magnificent leap"-he
jumped clear out of the city of Raleigh
between two suns, when no one knew
of it. A rush of outdoor work during
the week prevents us from giving an
extended account of our Fair, but

which we think will be of interest to

comparison with the size, of the ele-
phant looked like a mole,hill, beside a
mountain. He had often thought
how easy it would be for the elephant
to take horse and rider in his snout
and ssling them into the middle Of
Kingdom-C Come and had sometimes
wished that the elephant would do it.
But more than that had he wished
that the farmers of this country would
rise up in their might and throttle the
monster elephant of oppression which
was grinding them down. Yet the
farmer followed on, goaded by trusts,
monopolies and combinations, whose
yoke they could throw. off if they only
knew, it. They grunted and stood it,
instead of rising in their might and
correcting the evils.
He mentioned that all other indus
tries were organized for their own
protection. The manufacturers were
organized, the traders were organized,
labor was organized; all we're organ
lied except agriculture. =

rectly. When he was a boy there
