THE most carefully edited journal
Is fallible, says an exchange. On
the New York Herald proofrcaders
have been suspended for weeks In
spite OF this severe discipline, the
Herald once made the astonishing
announcement that long line of
scorpions feathers filed into church,
instead of "surpliccd fathers" a
reporter on that paper had occasion
TO quote verse from Il familiar
hymn in which the word herald oc-

THAT big raft which is to float
from Puget Sound down to San
Francisco will be made Of longer
logs than were ever put into n raft
on Atlantic waters. 1t will have
5000 logs, as against $1,000 in the
big Joggins raft Of last year, but
none will be less than 100 feet long,
and the great size of the sticks, it is
thought, will bring the amount of
the lumber up to the amount Of the
eastern raft.

The gentleman tried it on again,

"Think that is not too gay for q

ooh, bless you, no! It's a nice,

Again the man looked in the glass
carefully, took the hat off, looked it

sTANLEY,s FxPEn1rIoN.

Stanley started on his expedition
to relieve Emln early in 1887, but it
was not until June that he was able
to reach the Aruwimi His journey
thence to Wabelai was a gallant
struggle against seemingly insur-
mOuntable obstacles, and it was not
until sometime in January, 1888,
that he succeeded in reaching Emin.
He found Emin and his party in a
fairly good position, and determined
to resist the Madhis demand that
he evacuate the provinces. About
the middle of April he left Wabelai
to return to his rear guard, from
which he had no news. He urged
Emin to accompany him. The lat
ter would not leave, however, 50
long as the country was threatened
by the Madhi. Soon after Stanley's
return to Aruwimi i'm August, 1888,
he again made preparations for re-
joining Emin, and when last heard
from he was on the return march
with a new relief column. Since
then there have been conflicting re-
ports concerning Emin and Stan
ley. The latest news tends to con-
firm the reports received late in
February, which stated that Emin
defeated the dervishes with heavy
loss in the Bahr-el-Gazel province.
This victory was gained some time
last summer, probably before Stan
ley had made much headway on
his return journey. Early last
month it was reported from Zanzi-
bar that Stanley was marching
toward the east coast of
Africa.

STANLEY's letter consists mainly
of n repetition of what has already
been published. lie describes at
length the various devices 10y which
the natives endeavored to prevent
the advance Of the expedition. one
of these was to dig shallow pits
across the path Of the column and
I'LL them with skewers which were
gently covered with leaves. The
skewers pierced the feet Of Sanley's
men, inflicting wounds that in
many eases developed Into danger
Gus sores. Men who were lamcd in
this manner were seldom of further
service. Stanley calls the natives
"cunning rogues," and says that for
the purpose Of eXtorlion they always
pretended that the country Was
suffering from famine. Stanley be-
lieves that the lakes he discovered
In 1876 belong 10 the Congo.

WHEN Benjamin Franklin was
appointed postmaster general of the
colonies in 1875, he went down to
the Office in Philadelphia, hanged
his coat on peg behind the only
door of the one room which consti-

work. lie procured Il small book of
fifty-three pages, inwhich he opened
an account with each postmaster for
the forty-odd postoilices in the thir-
teen colonies, ANA kept it himself

eral, the old Pennsylvania was not
bothered to appoint assistants, and

A Strange Visitor.

Setter, who lived i'm Franklin coun-
ty, Ga, was the subject of a strange
visitation, His house was situated
about half Il mile from the grave
yard, out Of which n brilliant light
would rise night after night, and,
passing over the tree tops, settle over
his house and remain stationary for
n time, when il would again rise
above ,hc trees ard sweep thruua h
the air in the direction whence
il came and sink into the earth at
the graveyard. On the night of
Setzer's death it shone more bril-
liantly than ever before; it hovered
over the house for long time, and
as the dying man drew his last
breath il arose in the air, and, like Il
flaming meteor moved swiftly to
the graveyard, sank into the earth
and was never seen again. There
are many who witnessed this strange
phenomenon and saw the blazing
spectre on the very night that the
old Dutch doctor died,

Gases from Atlanta.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 1.-THE supreme
court announced decisions in four cases
from the Atlanta circuit to-day, as follows:
Louisville and Nashville railroad against
Chaffin; reversed. 1t is held that a tenn
porary administrator can sue railroad for
killing hisinterests.
City OF Atlanta w. the First Methodist

solely for the purpose of worship, is not
subject to such assessment.
The court to-day held that.the former de-
cision disposed of the case.
Broomhead VS.. Grant estate; affirmed.
IL is held that a nuisance which can be
abated by city is not a matter for abate-
ment in equity.
Metropolitan Street railroad VS.. Moore;
affirmed. 1t is held that a child years old
is entitled to protection as passenger, not
withstanding that the parents may be on
the car with inte ltion not to pay fare.
