The Congo River of To-Day.

From an article under the above tt
tie in the Century. by one of Stanley's
former officers, we quote the follow
ing: ''On the Congo there are no
beasts of burden, there existing merely
a manual transport, the porters being
the natives of the Bakongo tribe, in
habiting the cataract regions. In
phys que these men are slight and only
poorly developed; but the fact of their
carrying on their heads from sixty to
one hundred pounds weight twenty
miles a day for sometimes six consecu-
tive days, their only food being each
day little manioc root. an ear or two
of maize. or handful of peanuts, pro-
nounces them at once as men of singu-
larry sound stamina. Small boys OF
eight and nine years old are frequently
met carrying loads of twenty pounds
weight.
Throughout the cataract region tho
general accepted money currency is
Manchester cotton cloth made up into
pieces of six yards each. The Eu-
ropean cost Of the cloth paid to these
natives for transporting a load to
Stanley Pool from Matadi, including
rations, amounts ut the present day TO
five dollars for load of sixty-fiye
pounds. Five years ago the cost was
only one-third of this amount; bat it
has increased on account of the oppo-
sition Of the various trading houses
that they have established stations at
Stanley Pool for the ivory trade on tho
upper river"

and from the neighbors they drew the
whole story-all that was known. And
for the first time Donna Mora heard
of the old gypsy and her flowers.
Then she waited. pacing the floors Of
the empty rooms, while Donna Anna
watched from the window, and tho

And Donna Mora said: bid her

Then passing between the smoking

ers. said the gypsy, land my good
wishes for the senior has been my bene-
factor. A poor gift. lady, but do no,
scorn it."
She held the flowers toward Donna
Mora, who took them and put them
down upon the table.
Donna Anna" said she, "bring my
dog here. Brothers seize the gypsy"
In moment more the struggling
woman was held in strong grasp,
and Donna Mora, holding her dog in
her lap, pressed the flowers to his
nostris.
IF he lives. free her. If he dies,
have her arrested" she said quietly.
Donna Anna hid her face. The
brothers sternly regarded first the wo-
man, then the dog; the latter had be-
gun to tremble. In n moment moro
he uttered a whine. long and terrible
to listen TO. Donna Mora dropped the
flowers. The poor creature lay mo-
tionless across her lap. He was dead.
Have the woman arrested" said
Donna Mora. again. 1T is she that
has murdered those two poor women
with her poisoned flowers, as she
would have murdered me-"
But TO the Senior, when they met
once more, she said this:
Il know the ways of gypsies, and
their art of poisoning flowers. know
also that an injured gypsy girl is al
ways avenged by her tribe. He who
is false to one woman let no other wo-
man trust. Adieu.-N Y. World.

him when he saw the cord attached to
the signal CONFERENCE.-THE, and put
that fact and the fact of Armstrong's
being found dead on the line togeth-
er.
"Ifever anything was providen-
tial," said the signal-man, as he and
Duffy returned to resume their re-
spective duties that is. Here's a
man hatintends to wreck your train;
he falls over the embankment just
when he gets the thing arranged;
then you come on seemingly to q
certain smash, when you happen to
see his body on the line, pull up just
in the nick of time, and are saved"
The signal-ma.N had not probed the
matter to the DO tom; for the exact
purpose of the cord had not occurred
to him any more than it had to
Duffy. Duffy was panied at the sig
nal-man's discovery ofthe crime, and
said nothing.
When they had reached the train,
and the signal-man had told his
version of the story to Tom and
the brakeman, Duffy, who had
stood aside while the story was be-
ing narrated, approached the men
and said: Now, lads, you know what
Armstrong was trying to do, and
why he did it; but that is no reason
why anybody else should know.
Well not say word about the sig
nal; but when we take back the
corpse we'll say that we found him
dead on the line, and that he had
seemingly fallen over the embank-
ment down into the deep rock cut
ting, and been killed"
The three men solemnly promised
to do this, and in spite of the post
mortem examination, in the report
on which considerable stress was
laid upon the peculiar nature of the
wound upon the scalp, and the Pro-
curator Fiscal's inquiry, no one ever
elected more from these men than
Duffy that night allowed them to
tell.
Strangest fact of all, the engine
driver has never told his wife. That
