Stanley TO BE an African Governor

There is rumor that on Stanley's return to
England he will again become a British subject,
resuming his nationality which he relinquIshed
thirty five years ago when he landed friendless
IN New York. 1t is stated that the queen is
anxious to confer high honors on him. which
would be impossible unless he again becomes a
British subject. 1t is probable that Stanley
will be appointed to a governorship in Africa,
but not at Congo. 1t is considered more likely
that some territory in British East Africa will
be selected for him

Lost Her Life to Save the Child.

shocking accident occurred in the incline
of the Washington coal breaker, in Plymouth
Pa. yesterday afternoon whereby a woman lost
her life to save a child. Mrs. Antonio Comisky
was on the incline picking up Goals that fell
from the cars. With her was her fve-year- old
granddaughter. She was standing on the track
and failed to hear the approach of a train of
loaded cars coming down at rapid speed. The
little girl was few yards further down the in
cline. The cars were within 200 feet of her
when she raised her head and saw them. She
had time to escape, but the child would be
killed. She ran down, seized the little one and
tried to jump, but was too late. AS the cars
struck her she threw the child clear of the
track and out of danger. She herself was run
over and instantly killed.

The Youngest Doctor.


The Southern Medical Society, which
met at Atlanta. Ca. recently, elected to
honorary member,hio Master Venner
Tensch, Of Fort Mcpherson, Georgia. -
Although only five years old aud kim
dergarten student, he has a phenomenal
knowledge Of anatomy. lectures upon
which sui jet he attends, and charts re-
lating to which he studies instead Of pic
lures In an exhibition before the soci'
e.y he gave the name Of all the bones in
the body, and also described their func-
lions, divisions, tubcrosiiics, tubercles,
&c. lie appeared fully to appreciate
the honor conferred upon hiu,, and
thanked the president and gentlemen for
their action. Tue child is known as
Doctor Albert, and chooses his friends
from among th doctors and medical stu
dents instead Of playing tops aud mar
blcs with the boys.

The Ideal Friend.


Once or twice in a lifetime he is
found, and one who is worthy Of him
will be sure to find him. You will
know him when you meet him and he
will know you.
lie will make the most and the best Of
the good HAT is in you, and so influence
you that the evil in you will steadily d.
minish the longer you know him.
WhItever is deficient IN you he. viii
supply. anl in like manner you viii
find his nce'ls aud wants. You will fl
together because you were made for one
another. When you meet him it will
seem to you as II sou had always known
him, ss if, somehow, in some previous
existence you had been true comrades
and friends and now only picked up the
chain that had been dropped erewhile
Aud this impression as Of previous ac-
quaiutance will not die out. as with
lovers, but will continue to the end, and
grow stronger, for your friend is your
counterpart. your other self.
Your honor, your good name will be
as sacred to him as bis own. Never
once will he show cowardice, jealousy
or treachcry. lie will rejoice with
royal gladness when all goes well with
you, he will sympathize with and try to
help you when you are i'll at case, ex-
actly as he would try to help himself
You can depend on him as OF a rock for
support. When you find him as your
life, and never let him 60.
But how will you find him? Make
yourself worthy of such a friend, aad he
will come TO you of his own accord.

tx Governor Gilpin, Of Colorado, may
possibly yet see before be dies the con-
summation of his great scheme for build
ing railroad around the world by way
Of Alaska and Behring straits. The
plan has been pronounced by engineers
feasible and really capable of being car
ried out on the lines proposed by Cover
nor Gilpin, cxccp, at one point Gilpin
advocated building a road from island to
island across the straits. Captain
Elnery, Of the Thetis, thinks it would
not be possible to use at all seasons Of the
year a road built across the islands, on ac-
count Of the cold. But he says tunnel
can be constructed under the straits that
could be used by trains the year around,

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.


On Thursday next will begin the
New Year. 1891 The INDEPENDENT
as usual sends to its friends and patrons
the happy greetings Of the season aud
wishes them all the joys this transit
tory life can afford
1t is not unusual at this season Of the
year to take a retrospect Of the past, and
to form new resolutions looking to a bet
ter life Of peace and happiness in the fu-
ture. so pardon us gentle reade s for fol
: lowing the example Of those Who have
preceded US. whose lives and acts have
served to guide the generations that have
long since given up all that is mortal to
mother earth. and whose teachings will
be followed, when we too, will have
been called before the most High to
render an account Of our stewardship -
In the heat of discussion on questions
affecting the vital interests of our coun-
ty-our people IN the excitement Of polit-
icll campaigns through one Of which it
seems, we are compelled to pass every
year, we may have &c 'asionally lost our
temper and given oifense to those, differ
ing with us in such matters, or we may
have unintcntionaly wounded some
heart already sad with sorrow or failed
TO endeavor % sOOthe the pangs Of
agony Of some poor creature desperate
with The anguish Of despair, or omitted
to give aims where aims were needed to
alleviate the wants Of the poor and needy.
If we have, we ask forgivness -
Our shortcomings, like those of others,
are great and many. And like others
too, oftentimes, we start out fortified
with the frmest resolves, to make many
amends for better course, only to wind
up in a signal failure. But we will not
be disheartcned by tn. frequency of fail
ure, nor be retarded by the weight Of
the onerous task that desire to do
right imposes. The INDEPENDENT loves
the people of its county, and will be al
ways ready to admit its mistakes, and
willing to mend its ways fer its own
good and the good of the county. Ad-
hitting our mistakes, asking public par
don for wherein we have erred, we feel
justified in entering upon this, the New
Year, inspired with tivc.feryent hope that
we may retain public confidence, and
win still hiykcr place in public esteem
We will strive harder than before, to
aid in the material advancement Of cur
county, and to promote the happiness of
cur people; we will deal fairly with
friend and foe; we will keep our columns
$3.50 sisasige .&pd interesting
matter, and will give conelsely aud cor
rectly the current news of the day, and
in so doing hope to advonco
cur rank in the list of l,al-
ing local journals of the Sta.e-
Thanking the generous public for past
AvOrs and confidence and again renew
ing our promises of good filth to the
welfare of the county and its people,
we extend to all our best wishes for a
happy and prosperous New Year.
