STANLEY IN AMERICA.
How the Explorer Became Citizen
the United States.

How the Explorer Became . Citizen OF
the United States.
When an American flag was presented
to Henry NJ. Stanley, at the reception
given to him by the Americans in Lon
don short time ago, the great African
explorer said that he had always con-
sidered himself an American and
citizen of the United States, but the
circumstances under which he became q
citizen are known to only few. STAN
ley was naturalized in the Superior
Court of this city on May Is, 1855. A
few days ago Thomas Boese, the clerk
of that court. told Tribune reporter
the circumstances connected with the
incident. .On the date mentioned"
said Mr.. Boese, s'the late A. S. Sullivan
came into my Office and introduced me
to Mr.. Stanley, who wished to become
! citizen of the United States. did
not know tnat nay visitor was the great
African explorer until he had been in
my Office some time. Stanley told me
that he had always considered himself
citizen of the United States, as he had
served in the Union army and been hon.
orably discharged While travelling in
EuEOp0s HO"cNOT, ne DdQ LucI dH
can gentleman who had informed him
that he must go through the forms as
provided by statute before he became a
citizen, and the fact that he was an
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS soldier did not
make him a citizen of the United
States. Stanley was about to depart
for Africa at that time, and told me
that he had come from London to New
York especially to be naturalized and
that only few persons knew that he
was in this country. He swore and pro-
duced witnesses who swore that he had
always considered himself as a citizen
OF the United States, so he received his
certificate and departed"
Among the 800, 600 or 400, 900 auto
graphs which Mr.. Boese has, attached
to naturalization papers in his custody,
Stanley's is the one which is probably
priced the highest.-N. Y. Tribune.

cable. The crew made the cable fast to the hull of our vessel, and 1t was pulled taut from the shore
 At that period of marine history, when . cable had been stretched from the land to . wrecked vessel it was generally supposed that the rescuers had done all they could, and 1t remained for the ships company to lind their way to the shore, if they could, clinging to this rope. But now, slung to the cable, there came out to the vessel that same queer little boat which I saw the other day at Point Pleasant. It is shaped like an egg, with hole in the top through which the passengers crawl to enter the boat. Over this hole a lid screws tightly. The car will hold about fifteen people. When the passengers are packed away in it and the lid has been screwed down, it is drawn back to land through the breakers, turning over and over as it goes.
 It was fearful trip to make, but it was the one chance for life to the people on the ship
 I cannot fitly describe the awful scene on that wreck; the darkness, the wet, the thun- der of the sea- the hundreds of men and wo- men standing there facing death, and fully realizing the perils that surrounded them.
 It was the first time that the life car had ever been tested by actual service, and even
  looking craft that had come out to the ship along the cable
 "Who will go in itg' he shouted. 'The women have the first chance It is not a good chance, but it is the only one"
 The men among the emigrants began to push their wives and children toward the car, but the poor creatures shrieked and fought against entering it. l did not blame them. It is bad enough to go down, drowned in the open waters, but to go down locked up in that iron coffin
 Very we'll" cried the captain. "There is no time for choice. If the women will not go, the men shall"
 At that, little Miss Muffet stepped forward before them all, actually smiling.
 ''Come," she said to the terrified women, Eff go, you surely will follow me. l aim nothing but poor little cripplep
 She stepped into the dark box and lay down in it. Then the others crowded into it after her-stout English matrons and pretty Irish girls, children and babies When the car was full it's lid was screwed down tight and it was pulled out into the waves. Upon the ship no man shouted and no wonian cried in the few minutes that followed. We could see and hear nothing.
 But presently the car came back-empty. Then we breathed freely again, for we knew that the people it had carried had reached the land safely.
 All of the other passengers were taken to the shore in the same manner. Over 300 lives were saved by that life car on it's first night of service. Do you wonder that took of my hat to it the other daya
 Two years after .the shipwreck which have told you of, I met Mrs Murray, and with her plump, rosy girl who, she told me, was her daughter. the one that had known on the Ayrshire as an invalid. Now the girls eyes shone and the red blood glowed in her cheeks 4
 Miss Murray said that the voyage in the car had given her new life. But thought that the new life had come rather with the widening of courage and the spirit of sell sacrifice within her.-Youth's Companion.

THE WOOD PULP INDUSTRY.

The making of paper from wood pulp is due to the accidental discovery that when wood chips or shavings are boiled with water and bisulphite of lime, they lose nearly all their fbrous character and be- come soft almost to pulpiness. Besides this, the powerful chemical bleaches the wood to certain extent and destroys near- ly all foreign matter. The discovery was made by German, and the first factories were built in the land of the kaiser. The process was introduced into this country and utilized, but in' short period was so much improved upon by our native inven'- i've talent that it no longer bears any re- semblance 10 the German system. I'll e output of wood pulp and wood fibre is now up in the hundreds of thousands of tons per annum.
 The wood pulp mills of Maine represent the investment of many hundreds of thous- ands of dollars, and give employment to thousands of workmen. The big mills oi the Cumberland Mills Paper Company at Cumberland Mills are the largest paper mills in the world, and the entire village derives it's support from these mills And there are many other pulp mills, not pa. per mills, throughoutthe state. At Mad. ison @ vast mill is in process of erection by prominent capitalists, and others are contemplated along the many valuable water powers of the state. The industry is growing, and within the next decade, il is saf. to say it will nearly double in size, Nearly all the wood pulp made is consum. ed by paper. makers The extent of the business Can be easily imagined from the fact that at least ten manufacturers are millionaires, and that each one made his fortune from wood pulp. The best wood for the manufacture is the white birch which produces the finest grade of paper but nearly all ordinary trees are more ol less available. G l P. plar is one of the best woods for thil purpose, and an immense supply can bt found in the forests of Maine. Our Cana dian neighbors are going into the manu facture of wood pulp, and will enter into vigorous competition with us before long but our Maine mills fear no competition and are much more admirably located fo the distribution of theproduct. ct.-Portlant | ErDress .

POLITICAL BRIBERY.

The manner in which the Louisiana lot tery scheme is being pushed in the legis- lature of that state over the governors veto, and is said to be marshalling its forces in the lobby of congress in view of Instructions that are threatened to be en- acted there to the operation of the lottery business in other states if it succeed in Louisiana, should receive the attention of the pulpit and of the press, both It tligious and secular. For political bribery is no stranger in our commonwealth, and in our most staid country towns. In one of these, in which it is common remark, Gas goes this town politically, so goes the state bribery has become SO notorious that prominent member of one of the churches, though never voting for but one party, refuses to vote, it is understood, unless he receives $25. A pastor in this town, in view of the demoralizing tendency of the practice in this place, felt constrained to make it 8 matter of public discourse. He endeavored in kind and conciiiatory manner to show the sad results of the practice upon the minds of the young men, the lowering of the tone of manliness, in. dependence and general integrity of prin- ciple and character in the place. On leav ing the church one of the audience re- An"A 0ON SO hAo htA3hoOis thuo thO k1aotoi had secured his ticket for departure for another field of labor. The pastor, how ever, was gratified the next morning to hear one of his leading parishioners, SUD- posed to be himself somewhat implicated, say to him, "You were right" All care full observers are cognizant of the exist ence of the evil to an alarming extent in all our communities. No political party is free from the stigma. The evils of it are too obvious to need argument. It is endangering all our civil and religious in- stitutions. For these interests are indis- solubly connected. Let the pulpit wisely, judiciously, but with dignity and firmness, speak out. Let the press, both religious and secular, unitedly call for cessation of this degrading, demoralizing business, and continue the assault and reforma- tion will be secured. Religious Her ald

H. Johnson in Windham County Tran script: Would you save your hoped for fruit for next season, or preserve your trees from the unsightly appearance of this season. When you have read this article go at once to your trees, search for and cut the twigs (generally of this years growth and to be reached standing on the ground), that have one or more sacks of eggs closely packed around the same and covered with gum, ready for business at the proper time-and thus save yourself much labor and some kerosene oil, if you use that for burning caterpillars. The writer has this morning cut from 6 young peach tress 36 twigs having 34 of such sacks of eggs on them, each sack warrant ed to hatch several hundred caterpillars and at different times before this has cut enough in the aggregate to hatch as many more from the same trees so that a safe estimate puts the caterpillar crop on these small trees at 5O,000 next year, if left alone
 "A large hawk, !" relates the Early Conn y News of Georgia, "caught very large black snake, and the snake, in self defense coiled around the hawk SO that the hawk could not fly.

The string got wrapped aronnd 8 limb, and the hawk swung down. The negro cut the tree down md recaptureG the hawk, which he cooked and ate nex day for dinner.

 "In the summer of 1864 was sent to the Annapolis hospital, suffering with chronic diarrhea. While there, I became so re- duced in strength that could not speak and was compelled to write everything I wanted to say. I was then having some 25 or 30 stools per day. The doctors ordered medi- cine that I was satisfied would be of no benefit to me. I did not take it, but per suaded my nurse to get me some of Dr. Ayers Pills. About two o'clock in the after noon I took six of these pills, and by mid night began to feel better.
