GREAT EXPLORERS Trials
neod bodies of Sfamley's New Along HIS
Route.
Rev. Mr.. j. H. Camp, who has oeen
in Central Africa as an exploring and
mechanical missionary for the American
Baptist Missionary Society, has arrived
at his home in Lafayette, Ohio, after an
absence of nearly three years. MIR.
Camp arrived at Banana, Africa, April
6, 1887. and left for the interior a month
later, travelling up the Congo River in
charge of the steamer Henry Rood. On
this trip inland he was accompanied by
Ave whites and forty natives. They
passed through some sections OF the
country which had never before been
visited by a white man. The most pro-
found surprise was manifested at their
appearance and actions, and the conclu-
sion finally reached by the natives was
that they were evil and hostile spirits.
They were accordingly attacked several
times and lost many of their men. With
regard to Stanley. Mr.. Camp said that
he had followed the explorers route
about a month behind him, for several
hundred miles, and that very many
bodies of Stanley's men, who had died
on the way. were found along the route.
He also said that in April, 1887, STAN
ley left Leopoldville, having requisi-
toned all the available steamers, and
taking about 800 men. He started for
Aruwhimi, where he arrived some time
in May. From there Stanley proceeded
onward in his search of Emin Pasha,
and at length found him. Emin at first
agreed to accompany him to the coast.
When stanly left Aruwhimi he left be-
hind him a relief expedition under the
charge OF Mai. Bartlett and MI. jamie
son, with orders to follow him in one
year, if he was not heard from in that
time. Before the expiration of the time
fully ninety of the relief party died from
~dysentery, and Bartlett was forced to
apply to Tippoo lib for assistance in
carrying the goods inland. Terms be-
ing agreed upon a start was made. On
the second day out Bartlett was shot by
one of Tippoo Tbs men and died within
q few hours. Owing to the disturbed
condition of affairs, Jameson, the next
in command, decided to return to Aru-
whimi and restock the goods. Although
very ill himself, he started down the
river to Bungala, where he arrived in
August, and on the day following his
arrival he died. 1t is from his diary
that the failure of the relief expedition
was learned.
Regarding Stanley'sintentions for the
future Mr.. Camp said:
1.-TWO days after Stanley had started
inland, he Camp was met by q civil
lied Arab from Tippoo Tbs company
to whom Stanley explained his future
intentions. Stanley had stated that
Emin Bey would join him and take
5000 loads of ivory and 5000 carriers
to transport the effects of it's expedition
and that of Emin Bey out of the country,
the route being the caravan route be-
tween the Victoria Nyanza and the
T%anganyika, and thence east to Zanzi-
bar. Emin Bey to go with Stanley, and
accompany him to Europe. Later on,
and after leaving the upper river, u re-
port, which seemed to support that of
the Arab, reached me, to the effect that
when about to strike the caravan road,
Stanley was notified by his soldiers one
night while in camp that the Arab peo-
pie We're preparing to attack him the
following day, and to rob him of the
ivory. Stanley, accordingto o previous
arrangement, stacked his ivory alter
nately with some resinous wood and
burned it, this being his last resort to
prevent it from falling into the hands
Of the Arabs.
FROM WHITE STOCKINGS TO BLACK.
How Mortified o well-dressed woman
would have felt q quarter of n century
ago had it been proposed to her that
she should wear o colored stocking.
She would have considered that not
only her good taste but her ideas of
cleanliness had been outraged. Moth
ing was admissible but q pure white
stocking, one on which not even q speck
of dust should be seen. Zine and i'm.
maculate and sunny white, this was
what the swinging skirt must show if,
inadvertently the ankle was exposed to
view.
The first innovation came with the
cream-tinted balbriggans, finished so
finely that the surface had q silken
look. These held their own for a long
time. Then came Introductory stripes
of color on the cream white, these
stripes being very narrow, hardly more
than a hair line, while the white stripe
was very broad. Bydegrees the stripes
widened and the color deepened, until.
almost before the women were aware of
it, they were wearing stockings of q
solid color, and admiring them, too.
immensely.
Pale blue, pale rose, and soft French
gray were tile first innovations; then
came scarlet, navy blue, and seal
brown, and by and by all these colors
