ONE Of the most noteworthy expedi-
tons that ever entered Africa is the
column of 500 men or more, with sixty
wagons, that the British South Africa
company has just sent to the heart of
Mashonaland, a lofty region between
the Limpopo and Zambesi rivers. This
country is really new discovery, for
though Mauch travelled through a
part of it in 1869 finding many evil
dences of gold, and though Kerr cross
ed it in 1884, 1t did not really begin to
attract attention until Selous came
home two years ago and reported that
the country could support many thou
sands of white people in health and
comfort. and that it was probably des-
tinted to become the greatest gold
region OF South Africa.

THERE'S but one kind of Sunday concert
that is good for a mau-outside of the
churches-and one only. IL is music in the
public parks In the open air the soul is
magnified and the heart uplifted. The ex-
mayor of the city of New York, who gave
a great deal of serious study to the Sunday
laws aud their bearing On the morals and
conduct of the people, denounced in very
severe terms the sacred" concerts, so
called, but he recommended an appropria
tion by the city for concerts at Central
park. Concerts at the public parks are
wholesome, but when given at the sea-
shore to half-naked men and women they
are barbarous. WAX WORKS.

Some fine orators, statesmen and pro-

after disappointed, inordinate, ambition
at emulating Denver as the prototype Of
the future city OF Salt Lake, have turned
the tiger loose and propose to convert this
city into sort OF Leadvilie where polyg-

and where every man shall contribute one
tenth of his substance over the saloon
counters on the first day of the week to
support the ''plungers'' in politics.
