Brussells dispatch OF the 18th says:
The first letter written by Henry NJ. Stan.
ley since he left the African coast was re-
csived last night. II is dated at Roma of
Bonalya Muretia, August IL, addressed to
the Arch Sheik, Tippoo Tab, whom Stanley
left in charge of affairs while he pushed
forward to Emin Pasha's relief. The let
ter ia beautifully besprinkled with saiaams,
salutations, professions of having good
heart and other oriental terms OF speech.
Aside from these the letter contains the
following information: Stanley WAS in
good health, with party composed Of 1870
Wangwanas. three soldiers and sixty six
Emin natives. He left Emin two days be-
fore on the Nyanza, making the trip with
the loss OF only three men--two drowned
and one deserted. He found the white
men looking for Emin quite we'll. and an
other white man. Rasoti, also we'll. Emin
was bountifully supplied with cattle,
sheep. goats and food of oil kinds. He
very literally gave Stanley's men many
presents. Many Of Emin's soldiers we're
ready to follow Stanley, but he told them
to remain until he returned for the things
at YambunRsns. Stanley left all his white
Stanley asks Tippoo Tib what he il going
to do, and suggests that he would like to
have him go with him if agreeable. as they
have both been over the road twice and
know the route we'll. Stanley says he will
wait ten days for him and then move for
ward slowly, going to Big Island next.
This letter was taken to Stanley Falls BY o
messenger and forwarded by post. The
messenger also conveyed number Of
other letters to Stanley Falls, which are ex-
pected in two or three months.
German Missionaries Sold Into Slavery.
The attack made by the insurgents on
the German missionary station at Oar Es
Salem began early on the morning Of Jan
uary IL. The station, which was entirely
unguarded, contained 100 natives who had
been freed from slavery and three male and
two female missionaries. One Of the mis-
sionaries was severely woun led, but es-
capped, and succeeded in reaching the Ger
man man of-wa Maye. The other per-
sons ut the station were all captured by the
insurgents, who sold them into slavery in
the interior. The insurgents pillaged the
town. The Maye bombarded the place and
destroyed it, but did NO harm to the insur-
gents. The insurgents captured Muzan-
viva ivory caravan, but upon the portsrs
swearing allegiance to Bushiri their lives
were spared. 1t 10 reported that the in
surgents are marching upon another Ger
man missionary station, where there are
several unprotected missionaries and $50
freed slaves. Bushiri is actively recruit
ing soldiers.

Captured . Wild Man.

A Wild man was captured last week in
the forest of Russell county, Kentucky,
near Horse Fork Greek. The capture was
effected after long chase, as the man
filed like deer when approached, and had
to be run down by party Of men on
horseback. He could utter some words,
but refused to speak after few moments,
only saying that his name was Jim. He
is very tall, about Fifty or sixty years old,
aud with very gray hair and beard. His
clothing consisted of few rags, his feet
were bare and his body greatly emaciated
and covered with sores. He had been liv-
ing in bark hut, and had an axe, but no
fire. He subsisted, it is presumed, on
corn, few ears of which were found in
his hut. He has been seen by hunters for
the past three months, but no one was
able to get near him before. Nobody
knows him, but it is supposed he is luna
tic from some remote point in this or some
other state. He has been placed in the
Russell county Jail.

PATRONIzE HOME INDUsTRY.-We have
always been warm advocate of patron
izing our home merchants and manufac-
turers. They are, by their daily inter-
course with us, entitled to our first kind
known people to send off to distant mar
ket and buy an article which they could
buy of their home merchant for less money.
The following from an exchange On this
subject meets our entire appreciation
Never send dollar away from home
when the article that the dollar will pur-
chase can be obtained at home. Its circu-
lation keeps the business body alive. Bleed
that body by sending that money away
from home and soon business will put on a
look of languor and inactivity. Always
trade at home. 1t helps the person patron
lied and finds its way to you again. Gar

The present issue of the GOLD LEAF is

well for beginning we think; all these
