to Others.
LETTER TO new YORK HERALD
Always Guided by an Over
ruling Pr videnoa.
THE REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES MADE
An Expedition Fraught With Perils
and Hardships, and Glorious
in Its Results,

NEW York, Dec. A.-The Herald yes.
terday printed letter from Henry NJ.
Stanley, which was handed to the Her
AID correspondent at Nizuwah, Novem-
ber 20. In the letter Mr. Stanley saws
that looking back over what has been
accomplished, he secs no reason for any
discomfort, over and above the happy
ending of appointed duties. They have
not been unfortunate in geographical
discoveries. THE great Congo forest"
he says, covering as large an area as
France and the Hibernian peninsula
can now be certified as an absolute fact.
The Mountains of the Moon have been
located, and Ruwen2ori, or the Cloud
King, robed in eternal snow, has been
seen and explored Mount Gordon Benz
nett and McKinnon being but giant sen.
tries warding off the approach TO the in.
nor area of tho Cloud King. The con-
nection between Edward Nyanza and
Albert NyanZa has been discovered, and
the extent of the former lake is now
known for the first time. Range after
range of mountains have been traversed,
separated by such tracts of pasture land
as would make American cowboys wild
with envy Right under the burning
equator we have fed on blackberries, and
quenched our thirst with crystal water,
fresh from the snow beds. We haye also
been able TO add nearly six thousand
square miles of water to the Victoria
Nyan2a. Our naturalist will expatiate
OH the new species of animals and birds
and plants that he has discovered.
This certainly has been the most ex-
traordinary expedition | ever have led
into Africa. A veritable Divinity seoms to
have hedged us, while we journeyed, and
say it with all reverence 1t has i'm
PEELED us whittier it would, and effected
its own will but nevertheless has guided
and protected u.s."
Stanley then goes on to tell at length
of the sCtierings of the rear column after
disobeying his instructions, the terrible
experience of the advance column,
which was lost in the bush and the aiN
days search which he had to find it,
the death of Jameson and Others, tho
seizure of Emin Pasha and Jeppson by
rebels and their rescue and adds "Jepp-
sons own letters will describe his anxi-
ETY.. Not until both were in my camp
and the Egyptian fugitives safe under
our protection did begin to see that |
was only carrying out higher plan
than mine. Not one officer who was
with inc will forget the miseries he has
home destined to march with the ad-
vance column and to share its wonderful
adventures is here to-day sale, sound and
we'll"
Referring to the terrible priyations
through which they lived, Stanley SAYS:
This was not due TO me any more than
the courage with which they have borne
all that was imposed upon them by their
or the CHEEKY energy
which they bestowed on their work or
the hopeful voices which rang in the
ears OF the multtudes of blacks and
urged the poor souls on too their goal.
The vulgar will call it luck; unbelievers
will call it chance; but deep down in
each heart remains the feeling that of a
verify, there are more things in heaven
and earth than are dreamed of in COM
mon philosophy"
EMIN PAsHA BADLY INJURED.
LoNpoN, Dec. "a dispatch from
Zanzibar announces that Emin Pasha
has met with probably fatal accident.
Being near-sighted, he walked out of a
window by mistake nd fell on his head.
his skull. He now lies in q
critical condition. All of the doctors sk-
cept Stanley's physician declare that his
injuries will prove fatal. sItapley's phy-
siGian is hopeful of saving the Emiri's
life, but says that under the most favor
able circumstances the patient can not be
moved for at least ten days.
LoNhoN, Dec. 5.-Later dispatches
from Zanzibar say that Emin misjudged
the height of u balcony parapet. He
became overbalanced and fell distance
of twenty feet. When found his right
eye was closed and blood was Issuing
