1.-The Old Settlers Association of Sedg-

1879, and soon afterwards received its char
ter. The original charter members were

gerald. H. ". Vigas, VIM. Mathewson, d.
A. B. Greenlee, J. L. Holmes, c. NJ Gar
rison and E. B. Allen.
The first board Of directors was as fol-
lows: VIM. Matbewson, J. T. Holmes,
Charles NJ Garrison. W. B. Williams, D.
a. B. Greenlee
The first officers were: President, H.
W. Vigas; vice president, D. S. Munger;
treasurer. C. W. Hill; secretary, Fred A
Sewers.
Messrs, Fitzgerald. vigas, Williams and
Munger have since died.
The organization is in good condition
financially, as its needs are few and the
proceeds from the annual ball have al
ways been ample to pay the expenses of
the association. There has, however, late
ly been some talk of establishing a nom-
inal fee as an annual due in order to Gre
ate fund. All members who should be-
come unfortunate enough as to be unable
10 provide for themselves receive assist
auce of various sorts from the association.
A very worthy enterprise in connection
with the association is also being agitated

ent. Two years have been consumed

clsiye engement of the revolutionary

training or from Inability to learn is
neither here nor there, the fact re-
mains. They are as bad off as the
colored boatmen and fishermen on
the Potomac. These people manage
a small sail boat instinctively from
infancy and yet never learn to swim.
1t makes them cautious however, and
if they tell you il is safe to go out
for a sail you may be sure no signs
-of storm are visible.

how punishment has fallen on them.
Was it Providence or was it luck !
Let those who love to analyze such
matters reflect on it. Traitors with
out camp and traitors within were
watched and the most active conspir-
ators were discovered, tried and
hanged. The traitors without fell
foul of one another and ruined them
selves. If it is not luck. then it is
surely Providence in answer to good
mems prayers. Far away, our own
people, tempted by their extreme
wretchedness and misery, sold our
rifles and ammunition to our natural
enemies the Manyema, the slave trad
er's true friends, without the least,
grace, either of bodies or souls.
What happy influence was it that re-
strained me from destroying all con-
cerned in it. Each time | read the
story of Nelson's and Parker's suffer
ings. feel,vexed at my forbearance
and yet again | feel thankful for a
higher power than mans which Sc
verely afflicted them with cold blood
ed murders by causing them to fall
upon one another few weeks after
the rescue and relief of Nelson and
Parkes. The memory of those days
alternately hardens and unmans me.
With the rescue of Emin Pasha, poor
old Casati, and those who preferred
Egypt's flesh pots to the coarse plen-
ty of the province near Nyanza we
returned, and while we were patiently
waiting, the doom of the rebels was
consummated.
Since that time of anxiety and un-
happy outlook | have been at the
point of death with dreadful illness.
The strain had been too much, and
for 2S days | lay helpless, tended by
the kindly and skillful hands of Sur
geon Parkes. Then little by little |
gathened strength and finally gave
orders for the march for home, Dis
covery after discovery in this won
derful region was made; the snowy
ranges of Ruevenzari, the Cloud King
or Rain Creator, the Semliki river,
the Albert Edward Nyanza, the plains
of Noongora, the salt lakes of Kative,
the new peoples of the Wakonjuor
great mountains, the dwellers of the
rich forest region, the Awamba, and
then Lake Albert Edward, and final
ly we came to a church whose cross
denominated a Christian settlement
and we knew we had reached the out
skirts of blessed civilization.
