EASY CHAIR BIOGRAPHIES.

EASY CHAIR GEoGRAPHERs.
 "On another occasion," says MT. Brad ford, ''1 was sitting at great banquet of the British association at Brighton. It was in the evening after the African afternoon so called, Stanley had been down for speech late in the afternoon, after several English geographers had spoken. But noticed during the second speech. by MT. c. R. Markham, of the Royal Geographical society, that Stan ley's wrath was rising. The speaker, in alluding to Livingstone, had just said word refiecting upon him. As soon as Markham was done, Stanley, at two bounds, was ill the center of the plat form, and leaning forward and stretching out his foretinger with concentrated scorn toward Markham, began: You easy chair geographers, sitting on your cushioned velvet carpets, what do you know about it? Livingstone, after a long, arduous, perilous march, says: II think I have found the sources of the Nile" But you, from the seclusion of your libraries, de clare: "We know that he has not" question: And then he gave it to them hot. And yet in fifteen minutes he had them all, ladies and gentlemen, on their feet crying, Hear, hear, hear! The Baroness Burdett-Coutts waved her handkerchief, and even the Emperor Napoleon, who was present with the Empress Eugenle, arose and handed Stanley their card. I tell you, Stanley was the most scathing man I ever is- tened to when he was mad over Living stone.
 ''So, in the evening, before going to the banquet, I said to him: Now, Stan ley, keep your temper. Don't disgrace yourself. Don't say 0 word tonight. For knew this very Markham was go- ing to preside. Well, Stanley promised that he wouldn't say a, word. But they placed him at Markham's right hand. I sat across the table where l could see him. Pretty soon noticed that he and Markham were talking earnestly. Then the bulldog look came into Stanley's face. And then he jumped up and off he went.
 Ut seemed that Markham had urged him to speak, but Stanley had declined, when the following conversation ensued; But, Mir. Stanley, you must speak. That !s the purpose for which they invited you here.' Is that the reason they in pited me herey Certainly, Mir. Stanley; we expect you to favor us with speech. Well, 1 won't.

STOLEN BONDS REST CRED.
An Incident That Recalls Burglary Com-
 mitted Eighteen Years Ago.

MIDDL DLETOwN, N. Y., March 29.-A gang of expert rolessonal cracksmen from New York visited Goshen on the night of June 14, 1871, and blew open and robbed the safe in the store of Richard Nj. Vail, merchant, and at one time treasurer of Orange county. Among the valuables stolen were $7 GOO in bonds of the town of Crawford, issued in aid of the NJ ddletown and Crawford railroad; $l4, GOO in bonds of the town of Montgomery, issued in aid of the Montgomery and Erie railroad, and S1 900 coupon bond of the Chi cago and Northwestern railroad The last named bond has never been recovered.
 MT. Vail took the usual methods of warn ing the pub ic against negotiating the stolen securities, and after time, on giving the usuu bonds of indemnity to the two towns, he succeeded in obtaining duplicates of the stolen issues. Two or r.,ree years later New York lawyer brought suit against the towns to recover the sums then due the interest c upons attached 10 the missing securities, but the court dismissed the suit
 No further demonstration was made by the thieves until recently. Meantime Mir. R. NJ. Vail had died, and his son, Mir. Charles M Vail, ex-preside1t O. tAe New York Produce E change, became administrator of the estate.
 Alter years had elapsed and the burglary hal almost been forgotten, Administrator Vail got a letter from an unknown woman ill Paris, France, proposing to restore to hm the stolen town bonds for q moderate consid- eration. The administrator was desirous of getting possession of the missing securities in order to clear up the cloud that rested upon the estate in connection with the heavy bonds of indemnity held by the towns, he put the proposition in the hands of his lawyer Subsequent negotiations with the woman go- between have now resulted Ill the recovery of the stolen securities and their restoration to the town bond commissi ners, who in return have released the Vail estate from the long standing indemnity claims The burglars have never been discovered.

STANLEY'S WRATH.
SOME EXPERIENCES OF THE HIGH
 SPIRITED EXPLORER.

The Way He Got a Publisher for His
 gard for Livingstone and How He Dis
 played It-He Paid Cash for His Dinner.
 The following facts concerning Henry M. Stanley have never been in print. They were given to me by William Brad ford, the marine artist and Arctic ex- plorer.
 In the year 1878 Mir. Bradford, re- turned from his Greenland explorations, was in London publishing his sunptuous volume on "The Arctic Regions" It was brought out under the patronage of Queen Victoria at S125 per copy. At this time he met Stanley, who was in a towering rage.
 He was just back" said the artist, from finding Livingstonesknd was now very angry at the cavalier Way in which he had been treated about publishing his book through Murray. It seems that John Murray was away, and the partner present had received Stanley quite non- chalantly, and said he was not quite sure whether they could publish his book or not, and, anyway, nothing could be done about it until MT. Murray's return. I said to him, MT. Stanley, are you par ticular to have Murray publish your book? No Well. l can tell you of some very go56 publishers, who, Lhink would be glad to publish it, and that is the firm of Sampson, Low & Co. They are publishing my book, and, I think, would be glad to get hold of yours. If you wish, will see them about it. Do so, MT. Bradford; I'll be glad to have you'

A LIBERAL PUBLISHER.

''SO l went down and saw MT. Mar ston, of the firm, and said to him, MT. Marston, would you like to publish Stanley's new book on Africa?' Yes, sir, indeed we would; but 1 thought Murray was going to have it. No, guess not. Would you like to see MT. StanleyY Certainly, sir Very well, I'll bring him down this afternoon AS was going out he said, MT. Bradford, do you suppose that MT. Stanley is ready to consider an offer for his book?' I think so, sir.
 II took Stanley down to see them, and MT. Marston asked him if he was pre- pared to consider an offer then and there Yes, sir Well. Mir. Stanley, we will give you S10,0O0 for it. and a liberal share of the profits.'
 "'I'n do it, said Stanley. And hap pier man you've seldom seen. Now, Mir. Stanley said Mir. Marston, when can you begin to furnish us copy?' To morrow morning, sir, and every day thereafter till it's done Just one word more, MT. Stanley. Will you please say nothing about this for four weeks? I've special reason for asking Yes, sir; that suits me- said Stanley. And so the bargain was closed, and Sampson ! Low & Marston have been Stanley s publishers ever since.
 "A few weeks later Stanley went in to see John Murray, and the following conversation occurred: MT Murray, I've come to sec about your publishing my book. Do you wish to?' Yes, I think that we may be able to, Mir. Stanley. But we cannot afford to give you much for it, as it is a kind of experiment. But we'll publish it, MT. Stanley
 "'No you won't,' broke in Stanley, with an oath, and, turning on his heel, left the great English publisher astounded at the young African explorers audac-

Her Healthy Appetite.

A number of our citizens that frequent
Weigel's restaurant daily were very much
amused at a little incident that occurred
in tina establishment yesterday.
While a number were Were seated at
the tables, a young girl about thirteen
years of age, and apparently a stranger
in the place, walked in jauntily and with
an air of dignity asked George, the waiter,
how much a dinner was.
George replied that a full dinner in the
regular style was thirty-five cents.
The little miss said that she would take
one, but wanted oysters with it. When
informed that such aluxury was an extra,
she said she would take an oyster stew
anyhow, and when served she ordered
two ham sandwiches extra.
After eating them she asked "howm much
ham and eggs We're" and when told she
ordered them and after finishing asked
for her bill.
When told 1t was seventy-fiye cents she
promptly drew forth a leather bag and
paid up, and remarlfing that the weather
might be warmer, walked out to Schuss-
ler's bakery and purchased ten cents
worth of crullers. She then sauntered up
Hiram street, where she purchased two
bananas at a fruit stand.
This healthy young girl was apparently
from the country and bent on a little
epicurean spree. She had it.-Frcdonidn.
