Robert Browning is said to have
written THE Pied Piper of Hamelin"

merit.
Mime Louise Kossuth Ruttkay,

-Emin Pasha is described as a live
ly energetic man, very near-sighted,
and in various ways reminding one of a
keen, scholarly German professor. Ten
different publishing houses in Germany
have invited him to write a volume or
two about his African life, but the ex-
pedition to the sinterior, which he ex-
poets soon to undertake, makes it i'm
possible for him to engage in any liter
ary work at present.-N. Y. Ledger.
In his article just printed in the
Dix-Neuvieme Steele, General Boulan-
ger tells the interesting facts that an
American bureau offered him $3.50, 600
for a course of lectures in this country,
and that he declined the offer. 1t is
not probable that Mr. Gladstone has yet
given out the facts that an American
literary syndicate recently offered him
S25, 900 for twenty-five articles that he
could have written in two or three days,
and that he declined the offer.
Prof. v. B. Buchanan predicts in an
article in the Arena that between 1910

almost fearful war,-"a labor and capital
war and black and white war, in which
the church will be shattered and the
marriage relation Approximately Ito free
DOM" The Atlantic coast of the United
States will be devastated by tidal
wave. New York and New Jersey being
the chief sufferers. All the cities not
more than fifty feet above the sea level
are doomed to destruction, and in the
midst of it all there will be an earth
quake which will belittle all previous
geological Econvulsions. The professor
may be the victim of defective informa.

LETTER FROM STANLEY.

Henry Nj. Stanley Defends EnglishmeD, as
a Class. Against the Aspersions of the
Continental Press in Connection with
the African Revelations.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-Henry M. Stanley
cables letter to the Times in defence
of England against the foreign slurs
arising from the disclosures in refer
ence to the rear guard. He says he be-
lieves that conduct such as he has ex-
posed is entirely exceptional among
Englishmen. African explorers, from
Livingstone to Stanley's comrades of
the advance guard, have been men who
united in singular degree gentleness
and valor Beginning the life a rough
and impatient man, he himself
found schooling in the
very African experiences said to
be detrimental to the European charac-
ter. He hopes that the revelations.
which Mr.. Barttelot has forced him to
make, will not be without some good re-
suit. He desires that any such conduct
as that of Jameson shall henceforth be
impossible any where on earth. 1t is
only by showing ouselves superior
to savages that we can obtain that con-
troll which is necessary to their well
fare even more than ours"
