African RailrOadS

According to Brussels telegram, the
construction of the line of railway from
Metazi to Stanley Pool will require fou1
years, and will cost one million sterling.
The whole undertaking is in the hands
of a Belgian company, under the patron
age Of the government. The length OF
the line will be about 800 miles, and
will extend from the western coast to
the very heart of Africa. 1t is expected
that the opening . such an important
railway will ultimately be the most
beneficial and powerful means of civil
cation in Africa, and put a practical
check to the slave trade.-Once Week.

THE DEATH OF JOHN ADAMS.
He Passes Away July 4 Listening to the
Sounds of Rejoicing.

| He Passes Away July 4 Listening to the
Sounds of Rejoicing.
| After long and brilliant career John
| Adams retired TO his home in Quincy, Mass,
| intending to complete history of bis times
before his death. He was then nearly 20
years old, and did not hope to live many
years Indeed, he predicted that his vanity
| sad bad temper would throw him into a fit
of apoplexy from which he expected never
to recover, and it is a wonder he did not, for
his florid corpulent frame was little calcu-
lated to resist such an attack. Yet he lived
nearly another quarter Of century, dying
in his 92d year, on the Fourth of July, 1896,
the fiftieth anniversary of American indie
pendence. The animosities of his public life
were forgotten, and nothing is more beauti-
full than the friendship, embittered by many
years of political opposition. that was re-
yived between John Adams and Thomas JEFF
ferson in old age.
As the Fourth of July approached the
whole nation prepared 10 celebrate the event,
and invitations poured in on the two ex-presi-
dents who had borne 50 conspicuous part In
the establishment of independence to grace
this occasion with their presence. But it be-
came manifest before the day arrived that
John Adams would not even be able to attend
the celebration in Quincy. He was failing
gradually in body, but he was alive to all
that passed about him. June so delegation
was sent 10 ask him for toast to be proposed
in his name.
Independence foreverl" he replied.
Nothing elsem III establishment from those
who remembered his old time horid style Of
ora5ory.
''Not another word Would you gid re-
fined gold!"
The same day he said: II desire no other
inscription over my gravestone than this:
Here hes john Adams, who took upon him
self the responsibility of the peace with
France in the year 1907"
The morning OF July he lay listening to
all the sounds of rejoicing, with his imme-
date family about him. About O'Clock in
the afternoon he took leave of them and,
saying jefferson still survives" expired.
jefferson had died three hours before at
Monticello. The news Of John Adams
death reached his fellow townsnlen as they
were leaving the hall after the celebration.
They Immediately stopped their rejoicing,
and forming a procession, marched with
mufiied drumbeats past the house where he
lay-Chicago Tribune.

A Dissenti.x opinion.

There is an immense deal of supersti.
ton about the intelligence of horses
stopped today at the curbstone to chat
with an expressman. said to him,
GLOW much does your horse know p
'That horse, sir, " he replied, "knows just
exactly as much as man." This is the
way everybody talks who owns horse,
or tends horses, and it seems to me to be
perfect nonsense. I have seen horses
walk around post until they had wound
the bride all up, and then stand for
hours with their heads up against the
hitching post, simply because the didn't
have sense enough to walk the other
way and unwind themselves. I have
seen them, when hitched to ring in the
pavement, get their feet over the bride,
and then go into fits because they didn't
have sense enough to lift their feet back
over the bride again.
I have seer them dance around in a
burning barn with their names and tails
on fire, simply because they didn't have
sense enough to run out. Anybody can
steal horse without any objection from
the horse. A horse will stand still and
starve or freeze to death, with nothing
between him and comfortable stall and
plenty of oats except an old door that he
could kick down with one foot and that
could be opened by removing pin with
his teeth. If this shows high degree
of intelligence, even for brute. can
cot see it. Compared with the dog, the
elephant, or even the parrot, the horse
seems to me to be perfect fooL-Side-
