vile, was the first person to see Berger, who
was walking along the West Shore railroad
track. As soon as Berger observed the officer
he ran down the side of the embankment
and made for piece of woods. The officer
ordered him to stop, buthe paid no attention
to the demand. A butcher named Tupper
came to Joslyn's assistance, aud together
they gave chase. When they had gained upon

asylum under circumstances that will set the
whole state to talking. Six years ago she
met and fell in love with the son of Justice of

He went home when he graduated, and she
has become virtually deranged over her un-

On Thursday and twice on Friday she was
arrested, at his complaint, for lettering
around his drug store, which she only lately
learned he was keeping in this city. Young
Williams has become very much dissipated,

II was in the winter of 1886 while Henry
M. Stanley was on q lecturing tour in this
country. that he was summoned by the King
Of Belgians to find Emin Pasha, bring him
to the coast If he desired to come, or, in case
he chose to remain, to supply him with food
and ammunition. Stanley Immediately can
celled his lecture engagements and set sail
for Europe. After conference with the
Ktng OF the Belgians he went to Egypt. where
he conferred with the Khedve and received
instructions to notify Emin that If the latter
decided to remain in his province 1t must be
at his own risk and without hope of further
succor from Egypt.
The route Of the expedition was left en-
tirely to Stanley's judgment. There were
four routes open to him. Oue was from
Mombtasa, which is situated on the eastern
coast of Africa, through British possessions
northwest to Wadelai. The distance by this
route was about 1900 miles, Another route
was from Bagamoyo, which is also on the
east coast of Africa, only few miles from
Zanzibar, northwest through German DOS.

and chose one radically different, Instead
of starting from the east coast, he sailed

The Blair bill, to which the President
gives qualified commentator, has been be-
fore Congress for many years, and has sew
eral times passed the Senate. but in the
House has been regularly strangled by the
Committee on education to which it has been
referred. The purpose of the bill is to pro-
mote education at the South. 1t by no means
follows however that that would be the re-
suit OF it, Labelling bill "for the promo
ton Of education" no more makes it sala-
tsry measure than does the labelling of some
nostrum "a cure for consumption" make it
remedy for that disease. Mr.. Bair's bill,
when it first made its appearance received
much more general support than it does now
due in part to the fact that great many
people then had only read 1t by title who have
since studied its provisions, and in part to the
fact that the Southern States have since then
manifested disposition to promote educa-
ton on their own account, thus removing, In
part OF least, the supposed necessity for
national interference. Another influence
which has operated against the bill is the
expression of hostility to the measure by
many prominent educators, some of whom at
hrst were inclined to favor it. In
our opinion the most weighty objec
ton to the bill-aside from the question of
Its constitationallty, which is somewhat
doubtful-is the danger that it will tend to
abate the efforts of the States themselves to
promote education, with the result that when
the national aid Grasses public sentiment at
the South, which is now fast waking up to
the Importance of the subject. will have gone
to sleep and must needs be reused over
again. Mr.. Blair himself has recognized
this danger and tried to guard against it.
He has partially succeeded, but by no means
fully, and until he does fully succeed people
who oppose his measure ought not to be
held up to execration as enemies to educa-
ton

mouth of the Congo The reason he gave
CIR choosing this route was that the river
would assist him in conveying the supplies
he had Tor Emin. He went up the Congo as
far as Yambuya in steamers. He reached
this place in the latter part of June, 1887,
having stationed Tippoo lib at Stanley
Falls to keep achievements and supplies
ready at call. Soon after Stanley left Yam
buya and plunged into the forest Major
BarttelOtlwith 257 men was left at Yambuya
to act as rear guard. Stanley started from
Yambuya with 3S9 officers and men, but
when he reached Victoria Nyauza about the
middle OF December, his force was reduced
10 ia men. From the time he left Yambuya
until his arrival at Victoria Nyanza, he en-
countered almost constant opposition, and
mad to hight his way through. When he
reached the lake he could get no boats from
the natives, and as his own were left behind
ne concluded to turn back for them. This
he did, and when he arrived again at the
lake 1t was in April, 1885, Meanwhile, a
courier from Stanley had reached Emin, and
when Stanley reached the lake the second
Time Emir was on the way to meet him.
April 70, 1883, they met at Kavallis. Stanley
remained with Emin month, but the latter
could not decide to leave his province. Not
having heard any tidings from his rear
guard, Stanley concluded to retrace his steps
10 fambuya, to ascertain what had happened
TO 1t. Leaving Mr.. Jephson with Emin, he
turned back, and went over practically the
whoie distance before he got any tdings
from Barttelot's command. 1t was at Bonal-
va that he learned of Barttelot's murder,
and the disaster that had befallen the rear
guard. Collecting the remnants, STAN
ley again turned about, ami on January 8,
1889, he was again at Nyauza. Seven days
later he received news that in his absence
Emin's force had revolted, and that the
Pasha and Jephson were prisoners. He then
proceeded on to Kayallis, and there found
Emin and Jephson, who had managed to eS-
cape from Wadelai. Emin was still reluct-
ant to accompany Stanley, but when the lat
ter, OH April 10th. decided to march west to
Zanzibar, Emin concluded to follow
him. Soon after setting out for the coast,
Stanley was taken sick, and his life for a
time was despaired of. He recovered, how
ever, and a month later the journey was re-
sumed. The march from Kavallis to Baga-
moyo has occupied about six months
