his totally abstemious brother
Barnum has been, according TO the same

years and is manifestly defrauding the COM
pliers of tatisfics, or else playing it very low
down on the other total abstainers whose
average life he is cutting down to frightful
extent by living so much beyond his rightful
statistical turn" As a matter of fact, Mr.,

A Ycretnhln Foe 10 tlle Oyster.


The injury to oysters in Quiambang
Covc. near Mystic, Conn, by peculiar
growth called marine cabbage spriagiug
up among them and overshadowing
them, has much in common with a de-
struction which attacks oysters some
seasons in the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries. Certain seasons, for some
unexplained reason, there is very heavy
growth of grass on the bottom of creeks
and out in the rivers, and along certain
parts Of the Chesapeake Bay. The
oysters on the bottom where this grass
grows are killed by the dense shade the
grass makes as effectively as board laid
on a lawn will kill the grass under it in
short time. - PHtSJuyg Dispatch.

INTERFERING DISCOVERY.

- Found.

A new. cold Man of the Mountain has
been discovered in the mountain re2ion Of
livfrmore, n. H., by Mr.. !. NJ. Jerow, an
artist of Portland, Ne, who has been taking
Photographic views ofthe picturesque scenes
near Sawyerls river. The most curious cir
cumstancc of the wonderful discovery is the
fact that the artist who took the view of the
gigantic crag from which the huge stone
profile of a man stands ont in we |
defined lines did not discover the
statuesque head until it was pointed
out to him by Mr.. George Payne
superintendent Of the G. b. James steam
saw mill at Liyermore, who happened to
take up the photograph in the mill office.
The likeness to gigantic human face
which the picture displayed 10 the eyes of
the astonished artist as soon as his attention
was directed to it by Mr. Payne was so
strikingly accurate that an excursion was
at once made to the spot from which the
picture was taken, and then for the first
time the stern features of the Hermit of
the Gulch" were revealed to mortal eyes
1t is such palpable semblance Of the hlt.
man face that the dullest eye cannot fail tc

Detroit SchO Children Perish
While Rehcarsing a Cantata
Fifteen little girls were seriously injured
by a fire at Detroit Mich About thirty
children were rehearsing a Christmas can
tata in the Tilden public school. They were
dressed in light gauzy costumes. One Of
them held G nile close to the accnmpa-
mist, that she might the more easily read
her notes, when one of the children, who
was swinging wand, accidentally Knocked
the candls ont of its hol 1ers hands against
the dresses of the children nearest, and into
a pile of intammahle stuff near by. The
costumes Of the children took fire Instant
ly, and before the teachers could put
out the flames FIFTEEN of them were badly
burned-two fatal Y, three so badly that
they will die and IL others seriously. The
building did net catch fire, else the entire
party might have been burned to death.
The scene during the panic ensuing the
blaze was a frightful one Two of the little
lads, Edward Wheeler and Alex Mcmillan,
pull d the burning costumes off the children
and tore the flags and draperies from the
walls, thus preventing the spread of the
flames.

srANLEY,s EXPEDITION.
Some Misrepresentation Corrected by

the Explorer
Sir Francis Dea Winton of London has
made public long letter written to him by
Stanley, dated 0salala, August 81. In 1t
Stanley objects very strongly to the tone of
a batch of newspaper cuttings he had re-
ceiyed which commented with an utter lack
of common sense and Il total disregard of
accuracy upon his expedition. He dwellS
upon Emins indecision, which cost him a
Journey otherwise unnecessary of 1900 miles
for Barttelot He justifes the payment
of salary of 30 pounds sterling per month
to Tippoo lib as a means for averting des-
olating war, and declares that if both Tar-
ties are honest in the maintenance Of their
agreements. peace may continue for an in
definite period. He rcbukes those persons
in England who had lost faith in his stead
fastness of purpose to such a degree as to
give ere lit to rumorS that he was marching
in the direction of KhaTtOum. lie dwells
at much length upon the case of Barrtelot,
and removes the impression produced by
previous letters rejecting upon the
Majors conduct. He o,llogzeS Barttelots
courage and other high qualities. lie knew
the Major was q man of little forbearanCe,
and had j; tended to keep him himself, but
necessity compelled the change that caused
him to leave him behind. Barttelot was
ignorant of the language of the people, and
his interpre, er may have been false and oc
casioned the GOODNESS between the men and
the Major which was never overcome and
led to his death. Stanley recites in detail
the instructions gwen to Barttelot, and
finally denies with much emphasis the al
legged Congo atrocities of the Manyema, the
cannibalism andlh story Of photographing
women during execution, During the whole
expedition he executed only four men.
