A Touch Of Nature.

Yesterday was out in the park while the
babies, with their whits capped gossiping
nurses, were still there. By and by l came
upon one little fodder who had ss<ayed out
of the sight Of her needless nurse. She was
trotting unsteadily on, talking away to her
self in her soft baby voice. Suddenly she
stopped and looked about her. She was all
alone. It was getting dusk. Tho pink lips
quivered and the blue eyes filed with tears
She had half mind to cry.
Just at that Instant there came around q
turn in the walk a tall figure with the brown
robe and hemp girdle Of the monastac. His
head was bowed and he seemed wrapt in re-
igious meditation. When he saw the little
one he stopped short and locked all about
him. Then, dropping on his knees. he caught
the tiny white figure close in his arms, while
the child, with that instinct that teaches
children what love to trust, held up her wee
mouth to b kissed. Then In the distance
was heard the sound Of the nurses voice call
ing good-by to dimly visible gray coat. aud
she came hurrying up, stopping In her rush
long enough to pay her reverence to the
sanity looking priest whom SHE passed on the
way, walking abstractedly along with hands
clasped behind him and head bowed as if
in deep meditation.-New York Evening

he was 'slected" president .He rapidly dis
patched several expeditions to gain footholds
on the east coast near Zanzibar.
At this time. be it noted, Stanley and others.
under the nominal direction Of King Leopold
Of Belgium but for the combined powers,
were working from the west coast. On the
east there was no such extensive combination.
England and Germany are rivals, and French,
Italians and others in companies or as single
merchants deal directly with the sultan Of
Zanzibar In September, 1886, DR.. Peters
convened at Berlin the first German colonial
congress and tho next spring went to Zanzi-
bar and made q comprehensive treaty with
Sultan Said Burghash. Returning to Europe
he pushed forward tho movement for Ger
man colonization and then organized the e1-
petition which has just terminated 80 disas-
txously. On the 96sh Of July he started In
land from Vitu and penetrated to korkorro,
up the Tamu river, which led him too far
north and in reach Of the war1ike Somaulees
When DR.. Peters announced his purpose,
the British government protested, and SO
Prince Bismarck withdrew all governmental
support. leaving it only q privete and mer-
camille character In July, 1887, the two ma
tions made what they called ''tfeaty of de-
limitation" by which the Germaus we're to
operate only south of an agreed limo, and tho
English north of it, both to range interiorly
to the border Of the Congo Free State. The
two governments also agreed each to discour-
age annexntions S-n the rear Of the influence"
Of the other, and On this ground the Germans
protested that Stanlsy's expedition had an
Interior object-to push on after reaching
Emin Pasha and establish an English pro-
tectorate at the back Of the German sphere
Of action Ia east Africa
In this condition Of affairs, it being known
at that time on the east coast, but not pub
Ished to the world, that Emin Pasha was
safe, Admiral Freemantle seized the steamer
Neera, with all of Dr.. Peters supplies on
board, alleging that he had violated the gen.
eral understanding. English and Germans
were at that time maintaining a Joint block
ade to suppress the slave trade. Bismarck
conceded the rightfulness Of the seizure, but
the German papers assailed the English
furiously. The British rejoined that the
overbearing policy Of the Germans had es-
tranged the natives, and that they should ex-
clude even private expeditions. The matter
was arranged, but DR.. Peters entered the
country with British suspicion and influence
against him, and there are dark hints Of evil
counsel to the natives and various charges
too vague to be traced and confirmed or dis
proved at this writing

in which they located all their accounts of
pygmies, dog headed men and mysterious
princes with palaces finished in gold, and ele-
plants with housings of silk and silver.
When, however, the Mahometsn Arabs had
overrun Egypt and northern Africa, they
soon made inrcads to the southwark, and
from very remote tin-es have had routes OF
travel far into the interior. At this day the
interior trade is wholly in the hands OF
Arabs, who even cross tho continent to An
COLA and ST. Paul de Loando ON the west
coast.
Within quite recent times people of the
same race and faith have crossed the great
desert from Northern Africa ard built up a
connected line of half Arab half negro
kingdoms entirely across the broadeSt
part of the continent-Senegambia Tim
buctoo, Houssa, Bornou, Darfur, Kordo-
fan ami Seminar. According to Winwood
Reade, latest full authority on the Soudan.
the line OF Mahometanism has been carried
some 400 miles southwark. South OF it is
thin strip of half pagan half civilized ne
groes, and south of that is the vast savage
land where Stanley, Erlin Bey and others
are contending. and in the very center of
which Europe is now striving to establish the
Congo free state. To abolish the slave trade,
70 pulify 1.-THE malign influence of the Arabs"
rs they put it, TO civilize the negroes and
realize on the enormous wealth Of the coun-
try is the avowed purpose Of the leagued
Europeans. and IN the process there is natur-
ally much jealousy between English and Ger
mans, French and Belgians By this, in all
probability, Dir, Peters and party came to
their death
DR.. Carl Peters was a rather precocious
German scholar, being at the time of his
death but 81 years of age, and yet celebrated
In many lines of achievement. A native of
NeuhauS, on the Elbe, he was graduated from
the Berlin university, taking high rank in
law and national economy. He at once de-
voted his talents to the cause of African de-
velopment and colonization. For three years

of her system of developing and governing
colonies He then obtained from Bismarck

Quick work has been done on the San Fran
cisco. The contract was dated Oct 26 1887
and she is required to be wholly completed
by April, 1880; and five months delay was
caused by some material changes in the en-

The protective deck extends the length Of

modern cruisers designed to protect the boil

may penetrate the sides or openings; for it is
now recognized fact that no cruiser, in
deed no vessel for general service, can be
protected as a whole. No arnor of practica-
BILE application can protect vessel against
guns already in use. All that can be done is
TO protect her ''vitals," and leave the rest to
the chances of war

THE CRUISER SAN FRANCISCO.

ShS Is the Latest Launched Addition to
Uncle Sans Navy.
There was great hilarity and many tri-
umphant congratulations, all In the midst Of
rain and mud, the other day AT San Francisco,
when the new cruiser named for the city was
successfully launched. 1t was a new thing
for San Francisco to get good government
contract of that size, and when the Scott
Bros obtained it, one might almost say that
all California prayed for their success. So
far they are ahead of the stipulated time,
with every promise of success in all respects.
The dimensions of the San Francisco are
as follows: Length over all, 326 feet; length
on water line 800 feet 81 inches; breadth of
beam, 40 feet "a inches; depth of hold, 81
feet; displacement, 4,083 tons. She is e1-
