the Congo. We landed at Banana Point,
at the mouth of the Congo, and then took
a river steamer to Vivi, hundred miles

II had the usual troubles, fevers and
so on, for time. but I soon got strong

turned to England for ten months. and
then went out again exploring the tribu-
taries Of the Congo. where l spent three
years more"
ITO what violent dangers were you
exposedT'
Il lived among the natives with only
one soldier and slept as securely as do
here in New York. or course there are
dangers in life and travel on the Congo.
Some Of the natives there are trouble
some at times. Then there are the hippo
potami, the rough waters, and the ter
rible tornadoes that come up without
warning and have a tendency to swamp
your boat before it can reach shore"
"What Of the natives on the Congop"
"They are happy-go-lucky, good
natured, childlike people, except when
aroused to cruel passions by bloodthirsty,
savage ceremonies. They are at times
suspicious from the fear they have Of
stronger tribes from the interior"
"What about the chimpanzeeT
''He is simply an intelligent monkey"
"How about the notion that he Is
human and would talk but for fear Of
being enslaved should he do soY"
THAT is nonsense. He is only a
monkey and becomes very tame. In
fact, they become too familiar around
camp. When the crew are at mess the
chimpanzees will run up and dip their
paws in the pot to pull out their share" :"

"What of the Congo region for devel-
opment?"
1.-The climate will prevent extensive
colonization, but the productions Of the
country admit of successful commercial
enterprise, which, however, must be con-
fined to the few. Great fortunes will be
made by those fortunate enough to en-.

Clands.tins Marriage Of Legal Infan.s.

The clandestine marriage at Milwau-
kee of Charles Hamilton Eliot, aged Is,
and Lizzie Nugent, aged 10, would seem
again to bring into prominence the ne
cessity for some legal regulation that
will serve to prevent those armed with
the authority from uniting the lives Of
children solely for the sake of the fee at
tendant on performing the ceremony.
The Milwaukee bride and groom are
mere school children, dependent on
their parents for support, and the dis
covery Of their foolish exploit has
brought sorrow to two homes, and given
the husband and wife good deal Of un-
pleasant notOriety.

the entire devotion Of his time to public|

money grabbing enterprises of the times
But his life has been great success,
nevertheless.
"By some strange dispensation OF fate
that neighborhood Of Ashland county,
o., has given large number Of famous
men to the state OF Iowa. Old Samuel
]. Kirkwood, the war governor Of Iowa,
was poor boy in Ashland county, who
also studied law and for time practiced
before Squire Allison and other justices
Of the peace. Those who recollect him
say that even then he had the same
Qualities OF rugged honesty, eloquence
and shrewdness which have since made
him SO successful as popular leader.
The first public office which he held was
that Of township clerk of Vermilion
township, TO which he was elected in
1S41. He, too, drifted west, and became
governor, senator and member OF the
cabinet.
Judge Reed, now a member of con-
gress from Iowa, was near neighbor Of
the Kirkwoods and Allisons in Ashland
county before they all went west. The
judge says he got his ambition to study
law by hearing Kirkwood pettifogging q
damage case before his father, Squire
Reed, who for many years was a justice
Of the peace for Green township. 1t ap-
pears that young Reed ran away from
school to be present on that momentous
occasion, an enterprise which involved
him in series Of fictitious pleas entirely
in keeping with the requirements Of the
legal profession.
Young Reed drifted to Iowa just be-

assigned to the youth of all great men.
