Spain and Portugal are not very well

favor republic in either nation, SO that
more surprising things might happen

Found by II Photograph, q,
From the London Daily Telegraph.

From the London Daily Telegraph,
A highly romantic incident occurred a
few days ago at iiuber's, the well known
Vienna photographer. An elderly gentle
man, apparently foreigner, Went 10 have
his portrait taken, but as he had to wait a
few minutes for the usual preparations an
album of specimen photographs was
handed to him. All at once the employees
in the next room heard shrek, and hurry
ing TO the saloon where the stranger was
waiting they found him lying senseless on
the floor. When he came To himself he
explained that the album at which he had
been looking contained a photograph which
he was convinced was that of his daughter
whom he had not seen for twenty one
years.
The features were so like those of his
wife that he could not be mistaken. lie
said that unfortunate circumstances had
compelled him to leave her twenty -one
years ago, at a time when his daughter
was only three years of age, He had made
every effort TO find out the whereabouts of
his family few years later, but had not
been able to discover any trace of them
de had long since acquired the conviction
that they were both dead
The photographer told him that the por-
trait in question was that of teacher OF
the piano-forte residing in Vienna, giving
her name and address. Ii was arranged
that the stranger, Henry NJ, of New York,
should call on her the next day, and that
in the meantime she should be warned of
his intended visit. The lady turned out TO
be his daughter, and has already left
Vienna with her father for the United
States. lie is wealthy specuIator, aud
the spoor music mistress has suddenly
found herself heiress to fortune of several
millions of dollars, Herr NJ, prior TO his
departure, presented Herr Huber with "A
splendid diamond breastpin.

The Oneninp Of Africn.

Stanley and Emin Bey, 1t is said, are
at last emerging from the African will
derness, in which they have SO long been
buried, and where they can hardly have
been having a high enjoyment out Of
life. We are not aware that their mis-
sion has been fruitful of great results /;
but 1t may bc that they have sown seed
that will multiply into rich harvest
Africa is the one continent of the
world that Is held in reserve for its
civilization, and doubtless is destined
in the distant future to occupy an equal
place with the other lands of the earth,
after 1t has received their overilowing
population. 1t has been of little account
80 far in the worlds history, but the
various nations now reaching out for
Its possession recognize the fact that the
time Is soon coming when its territory
will be needed for the use ofthe increasing
population of the world, and when the
original African will be called upon To
fAde away under the advance OF supe-
rior race. determination will not he a
new experience to the African race. 1t
Is the process that has SO far kept its
fecund populations from overrunuing
the land, and preserved it comparatively
empty for the use Of the coming man.
The slave dealers in Staying and ear
rying away the African people and their
despotic rulers, in their treatment of
human life as more valueless than that
OF the animal, have held the dark conti-
nent In readiness to take in the worlds
strongest races and some day Africa
will rank in population and power with
her sister continents. And some of the
smaller nations of the earth seem to be
moving forward to its occupation in the
reasonable hope that they may grow
with 1t to power.
Portugal long has had holding there:
but We doubt whether there is any balm
In Africa that will make the Portuguese
Q great nation. Belgium has a better
hope, and 1t may be that the German
may become the paramount influence in
Africa. Some people think that Germany
70 destined to be crushed out of Europe
between the mill stones of Russia and
Britain, though there are others who
think 1t more likely that her Oc-
topian arms will eventually squeeze
all the life out of her neighbors. 1t
seems clear enough that Europe
some day will need to shed some of her
nations i; and Africa will stand con-
veniently ready to offer them refuge.
The day when kicked out nation can
sail away to new settlement on n
Soreign shore will not be over until
Africa is occupied. Then the struggle
Tor the survival of the fittest will really
begin; Weincline to the opinion that
our descendants in the twenty-first
century will be euncomfortably squeezed
ana TO be glad that we will not be there

A Convict who Has mn Easy Time.

+. L. Harper, ,ex- president of the Fidelity
bank of Cincinnati who is now federal
prisoner at the state prison in Columbus,
is evidently having about as easy time as
is possible under the circumstances. An
official of the institution said, regarding
this favoritism shown him: at is an
outrage, and i cannot keep still any longer.
Harper never rises until s o'clock, and
often not until or 10. lie has the liberty
of the whole prison yard, and l doubt
IL he IL ever locked in his cell
at night. lIo does not take his meals
with the common prisoners In the great
dining hall, but has elegant meals served
in the chapel. 1t is positively forbidden
by the prison rules that any prisoner shall
wear other than prison clothes, yet Harper
wears fine clothes all the time, laundred
shirts and collars and variegatcd scarfs.
Prisoners are always addressed by guards
and officials by their numbers or by their
last name, but all the officers address
Harper as "Mr. Harper" Other convicts
are shaved once week. Harper goes to
the barber shop every morning. His
moustache has been spared, although Ii is
a prison rule that the prisoners face shall
be shaved close.n

Tho Ohio Senator.

We do not zee any very good reason
why Calvin s. Brice should he chosen
TO represent the Democratic party Of
Ohio in the United States Senate. Mr..
Brice is a rich, liberal aud sensible man,
who served as the executive officer Of
the national Democracy in the last
presidential campaign, to his great
pecuniary cost and to the greater cost,
as we incline to think, of the
party. Mr.. Brice among his many
good qualities did not develop the
necessary talent to secure the Democrat
ic victory which we believe was in the
wood. That however is no reason why
Mr.. Brice would not make good United
States senator. 1t Is rather reason
why he would. Because good sena-
tor il not likely TO be good general
In politics or war. Very different
talents are required from him 4; and
they are also different talents from
those which Mr.. Brice has given
evidence of. He has not only failed as
leader, but he has not displayed the
marked talent as speaker, writer or
statesman, that would qualify him TO
adorn the front benches of the Senate.
And these are the benches on which
the Ohio Democracy ought to want their
senator to sit (; and where the national
Democracy want all their senators to
be found. The back benches are full
just now but there is an awful
waste of room ahead. The senator who
can 60 there needs to be man of large
Information, great wisdom and good
capacity for letting the world know what
he knows and what 1t wants to know.
Mr.. Brice Is not of this kind. And he
has no just lien upon the senatorial place,
because of the money he has spent for
the Democratic party. That is con-
sideration which ought not to prevail to
project into place material unfit for 1t.
! Ohio doubtless has very good material
for the United States Senate /; and in
truth Mr.. Price is quite up to the
standard set Tor the place by political
practice. But that standard is too low
and has reduced the Senate in its
material to lower level of estimation
than that enjoyed by the lower House
Of Congress. The talent goes to that
. branch, the wealth and stupidity to the
other.
Ohio should send a bright man to adorn
the seat which Pendleton and Thurman
have held for her, and make Brice gov
ernor some day If he wants to be. The gu
bernatorial Office is one especially fitted
out for man who is sensible and rich
and not blessed with eloquence. Good
apnsa will make 81 yoyernor ilhstriols
every time but it takes good sense and
good words to enable senator to do his
work " according to Gunter."
