In Scribncr's Magazine for June Henry
NJ. Stanley has an article on his rescue OF
Emin,in which he expresses regret that the
pacha did not possess sufficient influence
over his troops to make them pliable to the
laws Of civilization and compel them to
respect the natives as fellow subjects.
He says that the natives can no, be
taught that there are blessings in
civilization If they arc permitted 10 be OPP
pressed and treated as unworthy of con-
sideration as human beings to be despoiled
and enslaved at the will of the soldiery.
He insists that tho habit Of regarding the
natives rs nothing better than pagan slaves
must be utterly suppressed before any
semblance of civilization can be seen out
side OF military settlement. When the sup
plies of the troops are paid for tho influence
Of civilization will become irresistible,
"and the gospel even may be introduced"
EnKn has been described ~ wise and
able ruler in Central Africa, gently leading
barbarous people in the ways OF civiliza-
ton, and teaching them corn and tobacco
culture, but these remarks of Stanley pic
ture him as too weak To control his own
soldiers, who briitally Oppressed the poor
natives. Enin has again disappeared In
the wilderness without telling the world
his side of the story of the fall of his equa-
torial province. II may be assumed that he
could not make very pleasant tale Of it.
PRINCE GEORGE, the second son of the
Prince of Wales, has sailed to join tho
British North American fleet in command
of the new gunboat Rush, a vessel of about
the size of our little gunboat Petrol,
built at Baltimore. The fuss that tho
British make over the doings of a real live
prince has curious interest for Americans,
but sometimes II is very wearisome and
the funk eyism displayed In the colonies
often surpasses tho home product. Canada
Is now going wild over the Duke and
Duchess Of Connaught, who have con-
descended TO travel homo that way from
India.
Alt of Stanleys writings since bis return
that have 50 far been published display n
religious fervor that is quite Gordon-like
He Is constantly referring to special provi-
dence, and in recording every good for
tune Is careful TO make devout comments
on the evidence of protection by a higher
power. One story Of this kind il particu-
larly striking. He tells how when his
party was in desperate straits his men
asked him whether he could remem-
Der anything worse in his life.
Stanley admitted that the present state of
things beat his record for hard times, and
proceeded to speculate on tho probability
OF miracle occurring for their benefit.
The age of miracles is past, IL Is said, but
why should they be? Moses drew water
from tho rock of Horeb for the thirsty

brook Cherith, but there is not raven in
all this forest. Christ was ministercd unto
by angels. wonder If any one will min
lister unto us?"
Just then there was sound as of q
large bird whirring through tho air. Little
Randy, my fox terrier, lifted up IA foot and
gazed inquiringly; we turned our heads
to see, and that second the bird dropped
beneath the jaws Of Randy, who snapped
at the prize aud held it fast as In wise o

II is evident, however, from the follow.
Ing account of the absorption of u donkey
