Echoes from the Press.

Interstate Commerce Commission
er Walker of Vermont has accepted
a $25 900 job, and will have to re-
linquish his $500 commission. If
Senator Edmunds should prove to
have as much influence with Harri-
son as he had with Cleveland, Mr..
Walker will be succeed ed by another
Vermont man, because there is no
doubt the Senator has one in his eye.
But if Vermont should not be recog-
nided, ex-Representative Hepburn Of
Iowa will stand a good chance.-New

1t has been suggested by some Of
the leading educators of our State
that Mr.. Palmer, as the State super
intendent of education, be requested
to call a meeting Of teachers and
friends of the public schools to dis
cuss the qualifications of the county
supervisors about to be chosen, and
enforce the duty of selecting the very
best men for the these positions. As
the success of the new law will depend
npon the efficiency of supervisors,
the object proposed is most lauda-
BILE one. And such a meeting, with
all parts of the State we'll represent
ed, would be likely to have important
results, in instructing the people in
regard to our new school system, and
in arousing interest and enthusiasm
in the cause of public education. We
trust the meeting will be called

as published in news item this morn

ante-dated several days by the mar
riage in South Wheelock, this state,
of a boy and girl aged respectively
fourteen and thirteed. They are thus
entitled to at least share of the we'd
ding cake. Vermont is keeping up
with the procession, even in early

PRICE THREE CENTS.


The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer;
Only the solemn trembling
OF the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet pale sunshine;
Within, the holy calm,
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open,
And little baby girl,
Brown eyed, with brown hair falling
In many wavy curl,
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Sly glances downward thrown,
And small hands clasped before her,
Stood In the aisle alone.
Stood half abashed, half frightened,
Unknown where to go,
While like wind rocked flower
Her form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color futtered
In the little troubled face,
As from side to side she wavered
With mute, imploring grace.
1t was but for moment;
What wonder that we smiled
By such strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiled?
Up then rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tender silence
He bore the child with him.
And l, wondered, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
If when some time enter
The maHy mansions fair,
And stand abashed and dropping
In the portals golden glow,
Our God will send an angle
To show me where to go !

Postmaster General Wanamaker
is one of the best business men in the
country and he promises to give us a
clean business management of postal
affairs. If he does this, and we think
he will, he will be the most popular
official in the service of the govern
ment. The postal service is nearer
the people than any other branch of
the government. All, rich and poor,
high and low, old and young are af-
fected by it. And what is wanted is
an efficient service. This once had
and all will be satisfied and but few
will be ready to inquire whether the
official is Republican, Democrat or
Mugwump; indeed the great mass
will not care. 1t is efficiency, which
the country does not enjoy at the
present time, alone that is wanted.
Give us this, Mr.. Postmaster Gener-
al, and the whole people will rise up
and call you blessed.

LAUGHTER AND WRINKLES.
Curious Observations Made by q Clever
London Physician.

London Physician.
A London physician has recently
been making study of wrinkles. Says
the doctor: ut is customary to say
that wrinkles come from worrying,
but the truth is that most of them
come from laughing. This is rather
paradoxical, must admit, but have
only been convinced after the most
careful investigation. To know how
to laugh is just as important as to
know how when to do it. If you
laugh with the sides of your face the
skin will work loose in time. and
wrinkles will form in exact accord
ance with what kind of laugh you
have. The man who always wears a
smirk will have series of semi-cir-
cular wrinkles covering his cheeks.
When gambler who has been ac-
customed to suppressing his feelings
laughs a deep line forms on each side
of his nose and runs to the upper cor
ner of his mouth. In time this line
extends to the chin and assumes the
shape of half moon. A cadayerous
person with a waxlike skin is very apt
to have two broadly marked wrinkles,
one running up from the jaw and the
other under the eye. These meet at
right angles at the cheek bone and
look as though they formed knot at
the apex. The scholars wrinkles
form on his brow. while the scheming
politicians come round his eyes, where
they look for all the world like the
spokes of a wheel. Some of the peO-
Dlo who bet on races have the most
astonishing crop of wrinkles 1 ever
saw. save on an elephant "-London

SLAVERY IN AFRICA.


=
The Horrible and Dlnbolieal Conduct 81
EppOo Tfb's Lieutenanta.
81 paid q visit to Sayol's camp A
scaffOlding of beams at its entrance
was ornamented with fifty hewn-off
right hands. Musket shots later on
proclaimed that the leader of this
gang was practicing musketry at his
prisoners. Some of my men told me
that the victims of this cruelty had
been cut up Immediately to furnish q
cannibal feast; for Tippoo Tbs auxil-
iaries from the Lomami, the Bene
Kaiebwe, and the Batetela are canni-
balls" Reading these words one
would think that they were part of
some romance. due to the vivid imag-
ination and genius of MIR. Rider Hag-
gard; but no. they are. alas! an actual
narration OF facts witnessed by the
famous African traveller. Lieutenant
Wissmann. and related by him in pa
per read before the Royal Geograph-
ical Society on the 25th of June, 1888.
1t may be urged by some that surely
this horrible and diabolical conduct of
Sayol. the lieutenant of Tippoo Tip. is
a solitary and isolated instance, and
that other slave dealers do not be-
have so atrOciously. It may, perhaps,
be the worst case which has up to the
present been witnessed and described
by European, but it is unfortunately
only fair sample of what is daily
occurring in tropical Africa. where
murder and rapine are destroying
whole tribes of negroes. the few and
scanty survivors being dragged away
as slaves. According to Cardinal
Lavigerie. Africa is every year drained
of 2. 100000 human beings by the slave
trade. Not a 1.-THE of these ever come
are not so badly off," as is so com
monty said by people who wish to
plaster over the prick their conscience
gives them when they say they are not
the neighbor of the oppressed negro,
and like the priest and the Levite,
pass by on the other side. For every
slave they carry off the slave raiders
murder about twenty, and of those
they do drive away not a fifth come
into the hands of the humane &C slave
owners of Morocco, Fee, Tuat, Tripoli
| and Arabia. The ivory trade has
been blamed with causing most of the
slave hunts in Central Africa. This is
no longer the case. In several regions
the stock of ivory is nearly Or quite
exhausted. and still villages are hourly
| burned and their inhabitants murdered
or put into slave chains, clogs and
forks. The only difference is that now
the able bodied men being no longer
required for the painful and laboriou
work of ivory porters. they. along
with the aged of both sexes, ar
slaughtered in cold blood, while thei
wives. sisters. daughters and young
children are dragged away to becom'
the slaves, concubines and worse of de
PRAYED and debauched mongrels.-
