surmises that when Stanley arrived on the
Aruwhimi, couriers, with dispatches. were
sent In two directions. one east toward Fan
zibar, and the other west toward st. Paul de
Loanda. That they should arrive at these
two places at about the some time is not
strange, for thouch one is considerably more
distant from the Aruwhimi than the other.
the excess of distance is made up by the
greater ease of travel.

A subscription paper opened in Boston for
the national home for MANNED and disabled
soldiers at Austin, Texas, is receiving gen.
erous attention. New Englanders are glad
to be generous to their old-time foes now in
distress; it is only when the proposition is
to help them out of the treasury of the gov
eminent they tried to destroy that New Eng.
land draws the line.

Suakim fully merits the bad name which
the Arabs give to it, 1t bias literally vomit-
ed death and destruction upon the Arabs
who have surrounded it, and upon many OF
those who have held the place. During the
years 1884 and 1885 alone nearly ten thous-
and lives were lost in the battles fought
around it, Those were the years when Ba-
ker Pasha's Egyptian force was massacred,
when the Sikhs were brought up from India
by the English and when General Graham's
troops wrought such havoc with the charg-
ing fanatics. In these battles the British
lost but two or three hundred but they have
added to this number those who in the
course of their occupation of the unhealthy
spot, have persisted of disease, as well as
those who have persisted in recent battles.
But the greater part of the loss has fallen
upon the barbarians, as is always the case
when irregular valor meets discipline and
improved weapons.

triangle to the audience. There
were about $500 worth of presents
on the tree. The essays read and
music rendered were enjoyed by
all present. Mrs. Eugene Jones
entertained at here residence about
80 of the pupils with a candy pull
ing. The watch meeting was well
attended and proved a very enjoy
able affair.
