He Sells About One Hundred and Fifty Thou
sand Annually.

New York Graphic.
A French missionary, who has just returned
from Uganda, shares the opinion held by SO
many authorities, that Stanley is safe. He de-
ella res that il is absolutely impossible that, if
Stanley had succumbed to an attack, the news
should have not reached the missions. 1t seems
that when the intrepid traveller started from
the falls, a report was spread that he was going
to "eat up Uganda" according to the express
sion in fashion in those benighted regions. The
missionary thinks that Stanley is keeping quiet
for the present, either because he has some DO
litical project in view. which is not yet ripe. or
because he fears that bis appearance might lead
to the massacre of the English and French mis-
now at the court Of Monanga, the sovereign Of
Uganda.
This same Monanga is described as a p~uissant
negro king, ruling over ten million subjects,
credited with being the happy possessor OF ft-
teen hundred wives, FIVE of whom he daily kills
of for his amusement. Some time ago Mo-
manga received from Asia Minor, through the
medium of Shareholders in Egypt, intelligence
OF the acquisitions made by ENGLAND and Ger
many on the Zanzibar coast. He at once as
sembled all his couriers and made them swear
that they would exterminats oil the whites who
might seek to 'eat up Uganda" The first re-
suit of the ID was the imprison ment of
Mr.. Gordon, an English missionary, who had
unluckily selected that very day to read out a
letter to Monauea from Mr.. Parker, a fellow
missionary, representing that monarch with his
and exhorting him to turn over a
new leaf. Mr.. Gordon is or was in durance as q
hostage. Monanga's very unpleasant be-
havior toward him warned the French
missionaries TO withdraw from his dominions,
the only one who has remained behind being NJ.
Sourdei, whose medical skill has been highly ap-
preciated by the tyrant, who has q decided hor-
TOR for death. Monanga rs the largest slave
trader in Central Africa. He supplies the Mo-
smmedan6 dealers annually with about 100, 600
slaves, which are transported from the Zanzi-
bar coast to the Persian gulf and The Euphrates.
Landed on the shores OF Arabia the victims are
sent to AsIatic Turkey. where they are sold ION
the sly" through the medium of the pashas. who
receive about ten francs per head for their
trouble. Many, however, die on the road. and
sometimes a whole cargo of these poor people IS
carried off by sickness. In short. the story re-
lated by this missionary is simply heartrend-
ing. and he evidently inclines to the view that
Stanley has beed keeping dark" through the
fear that the whites whom Mouanga had in his
power might be summary put TO death, with in
suit and torture.

A woman's Strange Adventure.

San Angelo tTex-J Special.
A Mrs. Crosby, in travelling from Fort McCsv'
att, Tex, a distance of fifty-five miles, alone,
over a road where settlers are few, to this place,
was compelled to camp on the ~prairies, in which
time her horse strayei from her camp, and in
looking for him on the following morning she
lost her way, and remained without food for
four days. She at last came to a ranchman's
house. where her wants were supplied. The
lady. strange TO say, was not much affected by
her long fasting and perilous position. Cow
boys, finding her buggy empty, searched the
country, but found no signs OF anyone, and il
was a mystery until Mrs. Crosby reached the
ranch house and related her experience, to the
amazement of everyone. The lady is now al
this place.

MARRIED HIS HALF-SISTER.
A Farmer Makes a Startling Discovery After
Five Years of Welded Life.

Birmingham (Ala.) Special.
Jacob Wells, sfarmer living in Fayette county,
has just discovered. after four years of happy
married life, that his wife is also his half-sister.
Weiss father, who lived at Sparta, Ga, was
killed during the war. About twenty-five years
ago Mrs. Wells married q man named Hogue.
Young Wells, then about twelve years old, did
not like his step-father, and ran away from
home. He finally drifted to Fayette county,
Alabama, worked a number of years as a farm
laborer, and in time bought a small farm of his
own. Mrs. Hogue, Weiss mother, died soon
after the birth of a child by her second hus-
band, and the child, o girl, was cared for by re-
lations of the father, q family named Smith.
Two years later Hogue died, and his daughter
grew up in the Smith family, and was always
known as Dora Smith. Five years ago the
family moved to Fayette county, ald there the
young lady met her half brother, Wells. Even
Wells's most intimate friends knew nothing Of
his early history, and he had never communi-
Gated with his relatives in Georgia. Wells and
Miss Smith, as she was known, fell in love at
first sight and were soon married. They now
have one child a year old, and only discovered
their relation a sew days ago by a chance word
dropped by the wife. They were in a qusudary
for o time, but have decided to continue to live
as man and wife.

Autumn.

Some day tho dying leaves will glow again.
And flowers shed their subtle soft Perfume;
Sometime the breeze will gently sweep the plain
And pilfer sweetness from the clover-bloom.
Sometime the birds once more will LIT their song
And set the tree-tops dancing TO the lay;
Sometime, ah, best of all. Wei get along
Without a gas or plumbers bill to pay.
