sTANLEY's MARCH THROUGH AFRICA.
The Picturesque Cavalcade Which Ac-
companied the Great Explorer.

On the march from camp to camp
Stanley and his choice following OF
picked pegazis and soldiers cut pic
turesque and prominent figure in the
long procession of nearly Il thousand
people in Indian file on the winding
African road. Thirty or forty men OF
the expedition had been rewarded with
flaming red blankets for good service,
and had been promoted by Stanley to
the honor of carrying his tent and per-
sonal effects Stanley rode Il very
good donkey, which was presided over
by young man with Il red turban
red knee-breeches, and red shirt, and
seemed particularly proud OF the eX-
allied position to which he had on his
personal merits climbed. Behind the
donkey streamed the great explorers
red-blanket brigade with boxes, tent
ETC., on their heads, and with the red
blankets proudly trailing to their heels
behind. The scarlet brigade, with MI
Stanley on the donkey in the lead,
hurried along, passing the others as a
fast train passes IL slow one, and usual
~ reached camp in advance. Ii the
sun was shining Stanley hoisted big
greenish umbrella. The rest of STAN
ley's people were divided into COM
panies OF divisions, of each of which an
officer had command and was response
bic for certain goods.
OF the Europeans Stanley, Emin,
Casati, Jephson, aud Bonny rode dom
keys; Parke, Stairs and Nelson walked.
Parke had never ridden a step of the
way across Africa. Two picked car
riers conveyed Emin Pasha's little girl
in litter, and of the Egyptian and
mongrel women some rode donkeys,
some walked, and some were carried
on stretchers.
Men and women carried infants on
their shoulders, though not always, for
one of the sad sights of the daily march
was poor little pickaninnies Of or z
years old, sore-footed and weary, hob
bling along and crying all the time to
be carried. What time it must have
been to these small miserableS trudging
along day after day on the endless
road, thirsty, hungry, tired, stubbing
sore toes. stepping on thorn now and
then, weeping and snuff1ing, losing
sight of their mothers if they had any,
jostled and passed by rude, british
men, who wished them dead and out
of the way-poor little wretches!
Then there were Wanyamvezi por-
ters bringing ivory, who had Joined
the caravan for safety to the coast;
Emin's Egyptian officers, and a motley
assortment of negresses from the
Equatorial Province, wives and concu-
bines of the officers and soldiers, some
in the primitive costumes of their
country and tribe, others wearing
clothes. Altogether these various ele-
lnents must have swelled the total to
nearly thousand souls.-N. Y. World.

That at this season the blood is filled with
impurities, the accumulation of months OF
close confinement in poorly ventilated
stores, workshops and tenements. All
these impurities and every trace of scrofula

PEELED by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
best blood purifier ever produced. It is

KILLED WITH AN AK.
Ebert Braswell of Davisboro Dies
With Pistol in Hand

Ebert Braswell OF Davisboro Dies
With Pistol in Hand
DAvIsBoRo, June GILBERT Braswell is
dead. This announcement brought very
little surprise to the people here when made
on the streets Friday night. He was killed
yesterday afternoon at Taylor's Crossing,
on the 0geechee river. just above Fenn's
bridge, by Henry II. Horton and his son,
Willie.
Mr.. Horton, in company with some fifteen
or twenty of his neighbors, had been SEEMING
in the river all day, and late in the after.
noon Braswell appeared on the bridge aud
told one Of the party that he had come to
have trouble with Horton, and expected to
kill him.
Soon after this Horton passed where
BrasweH stood on the bridge, and at the
moment Braswell drew his pistol, but Hor-
ton was too quick for him, and shot him Just
below the heart with A Smith az Wesson
pistol. Then each attempted to shoot the
other, but before either could accomplish
this, both fell overheard into deep water.
They swan with pistols in hand to opposite
shores.
ALMOST DECAPTTATED.
Braswell went out whore young Horton
stood, and, it is said, attempted TO shoot
Horton as he lodged behind tree. Horton
then threw an AK at him, almost severing
the neck from his body. Braswell died In :
stantly, with drawn pistol, Just as he had
always predicted he would. Justice Baker
and DIR. Evans went and held an inquest
over the dead body last night. The jury
found that the deceased, Braswell. came 20
his death from wound inflicted
in the neck with an ak in the hands of
Willie Horton.
Both Horton and Braswell were regarded
as brave and daring men. Bad feeling had
existed between them for more than six
months.
Braswell has figured in several sensational
affairs of late years. Only last year he
eloped with the young and pretty wife of
Mr.. Thompson here, an account Of which
appeared in the papers at the time.
