A WONDERFUL MAN.

A writer in the Missionary says .
'Emin Pasha in Central Africa, is on,

,ble books relating to Africa; and re.
markable fact connected with it Is, that
though the author, SO far as known, IL

s not even aware of the existence OF
the volume. In the centre Of tn,
equatorial province Emin Pasha has
been practically shut away from tn,
world, and for years at time
he has received no communication
from without. But he has never
theless been able to send to his
special friends, Professors Schwein-
furth and Ra'zel. and Doctors Felkin
and Hartlaub, letters which have
reached them, and which they feel to
be of such value TO the world that they
have arranged and presented them in
this comely volume Of SAT pages. The
journals cover the period from 1877 to
April, 1887, although there are many
| gaps. The contributions to natural
history contained in this volume would
be sufficient 10 give fame to any man.
| but when we add to this the service OF
Emin PAsha as a military leader and
governor, and his protracted and en.
ergetic efforts for the suppression of the
slave trade and the amelioration OF the
condition OF the people of the equatorial
province, we are constrained to admit
that he is one of the most wonderful
men of bis time.

A STRINGENT ANTISALOON Law.

The most radical law ever enacted
against saloons in Missouri went into
effect November LIST, and, If honestly en-
forced, will go far toward destroying
their attractiveness. The law is popu-

since its passage has provoked a storm
of criticism from the saloon keeper and
widespread Endorsements from the pull
pit. The law, in substance, prohibits
dice, cards, chairs or tables in saloons
pianos. banjos aud musical instruments
of all kinds are also prohibited. Sing
ing in a saloon will be misdemeanor.
Pool tables, billiard-tables and bowling

for drinks or fun conducted in saloon
will be a misdemeanor. SparriDg and
wrestling are prohibited, and license
can be revoked upon CONVICTION for any
violation.

An Improved Enoch Arden Story.

An ImpfOVeu EnOCn hfuen story.
Vienna Letter to London Standard.
A trial involving circumstances of an
exceptionally romantic character will
come before the tribunal at Ragusa
this month. About twenty years ago a
peasant of the neighbOrhoOd of Ragusa,
being no longer able to support his wife,
emigrated TO the United States, leaving
his better half in charge of the village
priest. From the first luck smiled on
him, and he was able to send the priest
80 forms a month for his wife. As his
position improved he increased the
amount of his monthly remittance.
But the raScally reverendo only
handed forms a month to the
women. This went on for fifteen years,
when the worthy clerical gentleman
forged certificate of the husbands
death, and placed it in the hands OF the
wife. whose death he likewise certified
husband in America. Shortly after
wards he piously betOok himself to
Corfu, where he hoped to spend the
remainder of his days in peace,
rejoicing in the remembrance OF
his good works. Fate had decided
otherwise. The unfortunate woman,
his victim. was forced to got her living
by begging from the passengers of the
Lloyd steamers that touched at Ragusa,
and her husband sought consolation in
remarriage with a rich American lady,
by whom he had two children. After
twenty years absence he re-
solved to make a tour in Eu-
rope with his family. lie visited
Paris. Vienna. Trieste, and finally
Ragusa. On landing at that harbor
beggar-woman accOsted him and asked
for aims. They recognized each other
simultaneously. The beggar-wOman
was his wife, whom he believed to have
been dead several years. The priest
has been arrested, and will be tried,
when, in all probability. the second mar
rage will be annulled.

A sheriff $4,000 Horse.

Granite (Mont) Letter.
Ex-Sheriff McMasterS, of Deer Lodge,
drives a $4,000 horse. The stranger
looks at the ancient dun-colOred animal
with interest. He naturally expect to
discover points width will suggest an
other Dexter or Flora Temple. He is
disappointed. Then it is explained to
him that McMasters traded Granite
Mountain stock at % cents a share for
the horse. This stock a few months
later went up like rocket. So it hap
pens that in the eyes of McMasters the
old dun horse represents all investment
of $4,000. 1t must be agreeable to ride
around year after year behind an ami
NAL which inspires these recollections.
Most men would wildly desire 10 kick
themselves every time they were re.
minded of such a transaction, but Nc
Masters is philosophical. There isn't
a tinge of self-reprOach in the tone with
which he speaks of my $4,000 horse"

For some time she had believed her
self the victim of base conspiracy be-
tween her guardian and and COluber.
The symptoms she detailed and the ex-
animation l made convinced me she
was being slowly murdered by subtle
vegetable poison. To openly accuse
the miScreants would be unayailing,
for we were without proofs, and the
venOmOuS dec0ction was such as would
elude discovery, even by dissection
after death.
IF Miss Harlay. who was still under
age and subject to guardians control.
sought refuge in flight, she would be
pursued and brought again within the
power of her prosecutors. The best
plan was to make them blieve their ne
fariOus scheme had succeeded.
"With an older and cooler head l
might hesitate to do what did then
furnish her substitute for COluber's
pOtions, which for four-and-twenty
hours would produce perfect SEM

consequences.

the night after Miss Harlay's supposed
death, a friend who had been taken into
our confidence, accompanied me to

the room where the coffin lay, which
we opened q lletly, and then removed

Noted Suicides in History.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
The following are some of the more
noted suicides of which mention is made
in history. These do not sa tor much of
insanity, but rather of stole philos-
ophy: Cato stabbed himself rath-
er than live under the des-
potic reign of Caesar; Themisto-
cles poisoned himself rather than lead
the Persians against his countrymen:
Zeno, when ninety-eight. hanged him
self because he had put his finger out of
joint, and Hannibal and Mithridates
poisoned themselves to escape being
taken prisoners. When we search
Scripture We find that Saul,
rather than fall into the hands
of the Philistines, commanded
his armor bearer to hold his sword that
he might plunge upon it; Samson, for
the sake of being revenged on its enc
mics, pulled down the house in which
they were reveling and 'died with
them" and Judas Iscariot. after selling
the Savior for thirty pieces of silver,
was overcome with remorse land went
and hanged himself"
