MISSIONARY WORK WELL DONE.

MISSIONARY WORK WELL DONE.
The reader may be led to doubt the
authenticity of this manuscript owing
to the elegance of its diction, which is
scarcely consistent with the fact that
Mr.. Inkosikaasi, nee McGinnis, was
born far in the interior of the Fourth
Ward, but in reality he has received
an almost classical education through
daily conversation with myself. I fur
nish similar instruction by mail. Mr..
Ipkosikaasi's manuscript Is in the form
of a diary. The last date is September
/. 1t is interesting to know that at
that time Mr. Stanley had not suffered
any of the numerous deaths which had
been melted out to him by the news
papers, but, as my correspondent OBJ
serves, "a man can die very suddenly
in the center of Africa. so that the fact
of a mans being alive N minute
need not prevent his relatives from
contesting his will the next"
l pass over those passages in the
manuscript which describes the writer's
impression of the ocean because they
are too beautiful. / pass at once to an
interview between MIR. Stanley andm
correspondent, which occurred in the
wilds of the interior. It contains a
bran new explanation of the real pur-
pose of the expedition.
Aug. /. This is the first real oppor-
tunity l have had to interview Mr..
Stanley, but I've got him nov where
he can't get away. A hippopotamus
has Just driven us both up a tree;
there is only one limb strong enough
to hold US, SO we are necessarily quite
intimate.
STANLEY, said I, "now that we have
a few moments to ourselves, would
you mind telling me just what the
dickens we came out here for?"
Political considerations, my boy"
said he.
1t beat anything I ever heard. l
know we used to meet emigrants at
Quarantine and get them up to the
polls in the old Fourth Ward before
they knew the difference between
Trinity church and Billy McGlory's,
but the idea of going clear to Africa to
influence the colored votei 1t busts
me. was on the point of asking him
on4the quiet whether he was working
in the interests of the Republicans or
the Democrats, but at that moment
the h.ppopotamus knocked the tree
down, and in the confusion that en-
sued / lost my opportunity.

"Through Sheer Cussedness.'

New York Tribune says: De Les.
seps would have been a marvel If he
had persuaded the government OF
France to see him through with the
Panama Canal. A contractor but
recently returned from the Isthmus
says that more money has been sunk
in the ditch than is required to CON-
plete it.
inquired how the money had been
wasted. Through sheer cussed-
ness" he replied. "I1l give you an
instance. The best make of American
locomotives, Baldwin's, l think, are
used for hauling away the earth as
it is excavated. They pull the ears
from the cuts out ON to the dumps,
where the unloading is done.
"The tracks are down grade, and
if a train gets loose, nine times in a
dozen it goes over the dump. l coun-
ted no less than twenty brand-new
Baldwin engines lying at the base OF
these dumps. 1t was impossible to
get them back on the rails without
taking them to pieces or lifting them
up with derricks.
"There were no derricks bigenough
to handle them, and taking them
apart WRs too much trouble, or the
men didn't Know how to go aboutit
consequently they were left where
they fell, to be covered up by the
waste earth.
These twenty locomotives must
have cost, delivered at the Isthmus,
10000 francs apiece. So here's an
item OF 100000 francs literally bur-
led out of sight and nothing to show
for it."

TRAVELLING WITH STANLEY
ADVENTURES OF ArouRrH WARD
YOUNG MAN IN AFRICA.

The Poor Ignorant Natives Never Even
Heard Of John L. suilivan-Discoy-
cry Of the Original "She' Men
toned by Rider Haggard.
l have just received a letter
from q young friend who is
travelling with Stanley Africa
u My friend's stage name is Um-
slopagaas Inkosikaasi, the Zulu, but
the Fourth Ward used to know him as
Jacky McGinnis. He caught a case Of
stage fever in q dime museum on the
Bowery and resolved to become q
freak. Subsequently he decided that
a wild Man of the Desert would be
good enough for him, and he adopted
the name given above after perusing
Mr. Rider Haggard's intellectual Afri-
can novels.
Then he began to prepare himself for
the stage. He was an artist by nature,
and the vulgar methods of the ordi-
nary fakir were beneath him. He had
the honor Of the stage at heart, and SO
he resolved to study the part from Ia
ture. This led to his joining Mr.. STAN
ley's expedition in the capacity of mis-
sionary OF any other light and genteel
employment su ted to the climate of
the interior of Africa. The strange
manuscript which he forwards to me
came in a bottle, accompanied by the
request: For the love of mercy fill this
flask with Jersey whisky and send ii

CHRIST CHURCH CHOIR.
The Entertainment AS the AEhenea
 Last Night.

The Entertainment Al the AIheneam
 Last Night.
 A good-sized audience was present at the Atheneum last evening, the occasion being a most successful concert and entertainment given under the auspices of the Christ church choir. The Apt quartette, composed of Messrs. Langdale, Kellogg, Smith and Bennett, opened the programme with Lead kindly light" and closed it with "Msiden with thy lips so rosy," which was heartily encored. This quartette of male voices is too well known throughout this vicinity to need special mention. Mir. Harry A. Doty's two piano selections were we'll rendered, and Miss May Mansfield was very pleasing in her vocal solos. She has clear and sweet so- prano voice which, of itself, draws the at- tention of the audience. Miss Wynn Ward was the reader of the evening and proved herself a favorite with her audience, as was shown by their repeated encores. Her se- lections were: The Echo and the Ferry, and The Romance and the Hat and as encores she rendered A Naughty Little Girls idea of Life In Hotel, The Horse, and The Dead Doll. Nature has provided Miss Ward with 8 voice of rare sweetness, depth and power, and her perfect control of her voice and manner gives added charm to her recitations. The Elm City Banjo club, Messrs. Will louRhby, Knapp, Hunie, Lockwood and Langbein, rendered very ably two selections, each of which was encored. The entertain ment was decided success.

 For an East Rock Park.
 BOSTON, Mass, April 30, 1853. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Somebody writes, man of course, "Most women do with themselves nothing at all; they wait, in attitudes more or less gracefully passive, for man to come that way and fur- nish them with a destiny"
 The writer of that sentence could not have been acquainted with the Boston woman of to-day or he would never have written that. There is no gracefully passive waiting about the average society girl here. Let me tell you what few of them do daily. l have been watching with great interest the last few weeks. We go to the Boston University every weekday from o'clock until 2, then at 4 there is a lecture upon literature or some- thing entertaining; after that dinner and concert or rehearsal in the evening. We take music lessons, vocal and instrumental, also painting: all this since we left school two or three years ago.
 Last Friday we attended the twenty-third concert given by the Boston Symphony or chestra in Music Hall, MT. Wm. J. Winch soloist liked him best in Siegmund's love song from "Die Walkure." Then on Sunday evening came the oratorio of "St. Paul' by the Handel and Haydn society; they never did better. The New York friends must have noticed the improvement from last year. Is it too great change now to go with me Tuesday to the horse show? An, the beauti- ful animals we find therel The great stately Percherons weighing 1850 pounds to the tiny shetland of 125 pounds. While we are out here in the back bay just notice how it has grown. Five years ago these were half filled lots; now beautiful streets and fine residences. Over there back of the Mechanics building is where the great fire was last week, burning up three hundred tons of hay. Do many people outside or Bos- ton know how lovely it is at the Highlands. may well be proud of their new Franklin Park, comprising five hundred acres, with many natural beauties. In time 1t will eclipse Central Park. Look out, New York; CTS!
 But nothing can come near New Ravens | lovely East Rock Park. Boston girls can ask me, as one did recently: "Don't you l think philosophy is too awfully lovely?' but ! they can't climb up three miles right in the heart of the city. A very pleasant recep- tion was that given by ex-Governor Clahln and Mrs. Claflin at their residence the other evening to the members of the university. l I would like to tell you all about the art re- ception Friday night, but time torblds. ! Most of the churches hold services this Tues day morning I hope to go to Kings chap- el Mr. Lang will, expect, give us fine music. There is also very attractive pro gramme at Berkeley Temple.
 Here am at the end and nothing said ot Kate Fields lecture, the reply to it, the vot- ! ing day or Arbor day.
 Does it seem as though we were doing nothing at alla I. A. h.
