A BRUSSELS WRITER in the Weser Zeit,,nq
places Henry VI. Stanley by the side of Ulysses
and Eneas, and implies that in the wanderings
of the modern American, as in those OF the
ancient Greek and the Trojan, there was
woman in the case. Mr.. Stanleys Calypso. or
Dido, was young English lady whom he met in
his 4ith year, when he was living in New Bond
street The hero who has faced such stipend
GUS difficulties was too modest or shy to tell her
OF his love. but coufided it to her brother, re-
qucsting him 10 be his mediator. He might
have remembered the famous old American
precedent. of which Longfellow made so telling
use in his miles Standish." The English
lady refused to take the initiative: she would
neither decline nor accept the lover who had not
courage to speak for himself. - but promised to
think over the problem. While she was think.
ing came the call to Stanley TO march of to
Africa for The liberation of Emin. His old love
for Africa revived, and he left the English
Calypso celebrating.
II. II. JOHNSON, the explorer OF Kilimanjaro,
has confidence in the safety of Mr. Henry NJ.
Stanley. He says: ITO call ones self 'Mwana
wa Bula Matadi-the child of the stone breaker
(Staney)-was, as have elsewhere and form
erly described sure passport to the friendship
of the riveraln natives. Stanley is lolth TO re-
sort TO force, not from sentimental reasons but
because he, as an experienced African traveller,
realizes the futility of travelling through savage
countries as an enemy where you must alter
nately fight pitched battles for your life, and
struggle against impending starvation induced
by the severe boycotting of the natives. He
would, you may he sure, only attack and kill in
absolute selfdefense, to prevent the ruin OF his
expedition; but he is such a past master in the
art of managing that child-man, the untutored
savage, that II will have been only under cir
cumstances OF the gravest danger. and the
cruellest provocation that in his march from
the Aruwhim TO the Nile he will have given
orders to fire on the hostile natives. Often. no
doubt, he will have stopped to talk, TO argue,
TO playfully caioe. 10 dissipate obstruction aud
hostility with wheedng words, and humorous
tricks. ! remember his once saying 10 me, just
as was starting to ascend the Congo, Pat
native, slap him II you will with the open hand
but never strick him with the closed fist and
never shoot until you are first attacked and
escape seems hopeless "
