Opening the Dark Continent.

The Dark continent is being rapidly
opened to civilization. Surveys of the
Congo railroad have been completed past
the 235 miles of cataracts, and this. with
the river itself, will, within two or three
years, make it possible for travellers to
visit the interior of Africa without a cara
van. In the upper Congo region is an
elevated tableland with fine climate, free
from malaria that has proven SO destruc-
tive to visitors on the coast. When the
journey that was formerly made pain
fully through weeks can be made in a
day. the prophecy will indeed be fulfilled,
which declares that Ethiopia shall stretch
forth her hands unto God. The opening
of Africa to Christian civilization is likely
to be the most important fact in the his
tory of the next fifty years. Boston

The Little Seal Cried.

A seal about two months old was seen
yesterday on the deck of the schooner
Arizona, which was moored at the Com
mercial wharf. He is the shippers pet
and a great favorite with the crew. The
captain said: II have had the little fell
low about six weeks, having caught him
at Stable Island. He was asleep when I
came upon him, and before he knew it
had him in my arms. In three days
from that time he was as tame as dog,
and will now follow me all over the YES
sci. In the morning at about 8 o'clock
the seal takes his position over the hatch,
and there he will cry until some one of
the crew goes on deck and feeds him.
When we are outside throw him over
board and let him swim until he is tired.
and then he is only too glad ito be taken
on board again.
The little fellow seemed to enjoy him
self on the vessels deck, and was very
fond of the caresses of the crew. When
he saw one of the men approaching him
he would hobble toward him and tease
for mouthful of fish that was generally
forthcoming. Portland Press.

The appropriation of s250,OO0 for the pur-
pose of investigating the extent to which the
arid region of the United States can be re-
deemed by irrigation, and the segregation of
the irrigable lands, and for the selection Of
sites for reservoirs and other hydraulic works
necessary for the storage and utilization Of
water for irrigation, and to make the neces-
sary maps. which was attached to the sundry
civil appropriation bill by the senate, will be
agreed to by the house. In authorizing the
beginning of this important work, the gov
eminent enters upon an enterprise Of greater
magnitude than any of the kind it has ever
engaged in. Director Powell of the Geolog-
ical survey has estimated, that, of the arid
region, now not susceptible of cultivation, 10
per cent, or 10000 square miles, or an area
exceeding that of one-half the land now cul-
tivated in the United States, may be re-
deemed.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Ao0d'a SaYsanaYiIla


"In the winter Of 1870 was attacked with
Scrofula In one Of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. It Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferlngs, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, Of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less ! do not know what it may
have done for others, but I do know that in
my case, HOODS Sarsaparilla has proved an
nay. gratitude I send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity Of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it," CHARLES A. ROB.
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by w. j. Hunt
ley, druggist, Of Lockport, N. Y. who calls the
cure a great victory for Hoods Sarsaparlla.
