using one of his famous maxims in an in
terview with President Cleveland, which he
availed himself of and described as follows /:

ner for many years'engaged in business in

Mr.. President, | have brought this gentle
man, who has spent most of his long life
amidst the magnifcence of the small repub-
lies Of South America. that he may witness
the simplicity of the great republic of North
America. Eyes" the President replied,
eve are very simple" Immediately add
ed, and you have the encouragement of the
Lord, speaking by the mouth of his inspir-
ed psalmist, "The Lord preserveth the sim
pie" And III be blessed if he hasn't taken
good care of you. Mr.. Cleveland chuckled,

We call especial attention to the commu-
nication of Hon. B. d. Gibson. In a pri-
vate conversation he seems to have been mis-

ingly to his detriment, possibly, but not

The barn owl, when she has young, brings
to her nest u mouse about every twelve mill
utes, and, as she is actively employed both ut
evening and ut dawn, aud us male and fc-
male hunt, forty mice day is the lowest
computation wo eau make. How soft is the
plumage Of The owl and how noisclcss her
hightt Watch her as she floats past the ivy
tod, down by the ricls, and silently over the
old wood; then away over the meadows,
through the open door and out Of the loop
hole Of the barn, round tho lichened tower
and along the course Of tho brook. Presently
she returns to her four downy young, with u
mouse in one claw and vole in tho other,
soon to he ripped up, torn aud eaten by the
greedy, swapping imps. Tho young and eggs
are found in the SANE nest. II you would
see the midday siesta of these birds, climb
up into some haymow. There in an angle Of
the beam you will see their owlships snoring
and blinking wide their great round eyes;
their duet is the most unearthly, ridiculous,
grave noise conceivable, like nothing else
you ever heard. Here they will stay all day,
digestinS tho mice with which they have
gorged themselves, until twilight when they
again issue forth upon their nladcap reyels.
This clever mouser, then, has strong claim
to our protection; SO let not idle superstition
further its Observation-Disclosures Maga.

The fisher tribes Of the Congo are an inde-
pendent class Of natives, fortified, SO to
speak in their rights Of monopoly by tho
inpresnahc positions they take up in the
midst Of rocky cataract beds, where neither
hostile neighbors nor intrusive Arabs can
reach them. Stanley says OF them that they
are industrious ana inventive. In the streets
Of their villages the fish curers attend lines OF
curing platforms; the old men are weaving
purse nets and sieves; the able bodied men are
at basket work, while the others weave rat
tan hawsers. The women are preparing
bread, grinding camwood, used III dyeing,
Sitting meal, pounding corn making crock

out decayed part and preparing piece of

The river itself, guarded by these dusky
people, is not only famous waterway, but
magnificent river, beautiful in scenery as
well. The picturesque Rhine, according to
Stanley, is only microscopic miniature of
the Congo, and the latter only lacks Rhine
steamers with wine and food and other ac-
comnuiations to enable tho traveller to see
its beauties properly. As for the Father of

the residence Of white missionary in a part of
Central Africa not here before mentioned,
may not tbeinnppropriate. In February, 1855,
Mr.. H. S. Aruot, young Scotch missionary
who Ind already shown remarkable capacity
for African travel, reached the large Garen-
game tribe almost exactly midway between
the Atlantic and Indian oceans, in about II
degs. south latitude. He decided to settle
there, and unless he las ntely left the coun-
try has since died alone i'll the heart of Africa
emong this interesting and hitherto unknown
people. For some years the name of this
country has appeared on the maps as Garan-
ganja. Richard aud Bohm approached with
in short distance Of the tribe on the north
and the route of Capello and Ivens skirted
their territory on the south, but Arnot is the
first to describe the country and people.
In 1883 he was living near the Lufirn river,
one Of the heud streams Of the Congo, two
months journey from the nearest white sta
ton on Lake Nyassa- 1t is the country Of the
powerful Chief Moshide, who cordially weI-
corned the white stranger when he came to
him across the continent with few native
attendants and asked leave to settle Mr.
Arnot has built house ut Mukuru, the large
and struggling town Of the chief. All the
country is thickly populated, and in two
hours tramp Arnot counted forty-three vii
lages.
For Il long time none Of the common people
deigned to speak to the white stranger unless
he first addressed them, They refer to the
white mans country the hell of the blacks.
Stories Of the cruel days of the export slave
trade have reached their far inland home
They say that the white tnans land offers
nothing but misery and slavery to She negro
Mr. Arnot gradually gained their sympathy
and affection by caring for their sick. The
potency of his medical skill won him fame
and friends, and he now roan1s Through the
large country at will, and one DISPUTES his
right to do as Ike pleases.
1t is n country Of grain fields, where,
strange to say. the men themselves till the
soil. All the land is cultivated The mar
ried men tell Mr. Arnot that it would be
dangerous for them to go home after their
days toll without large bundle Of wood to
feed the fire during the night. Woman in
Garenganze, it appears, is not q down trod-
den meninl, as il many other parts Of Africa.
She believes SHE has rights, dares to assert
them, and the missionary credits her with
great talent and fuency as n scold
One would suppose, from the immense
quantity of grain raised that there would

Parnell and many other suspects were re-
leased from the prisons of Ireland. After
ward, when the GIatlstoniau policy of jus
tice for Ireland was on trial and a renewal
of coercion was battled for in tho house Of
commons, O'Shca was found to be only a
half hearted champion after al. In 1885
Parnell nominated him for vacancy in
Galway for parliament. This caused u hub
bub throughout Ireland, and OShea was
openly denounced as a traitor to tho National
cause.
In the crisis Parnell hurried to Galway,
and at his bidding tho situation changed at
once. He made speech, and declared that
O'Sheas election was political necessity,
Although he was still regarded with disfavor,
he was elected, and the grunblinS ceased.
No sooner had he taken his seat than he
sided with tho Tories, notwithstanding lis
pledge to Irish Nationalist to support party
measures or resign. He was now kicked out
Of his Galway seat and Parnell was not
strong enough to slvo him. In the invcstiga-
tion of the famous forged letter O'Shea stood
for Tho Times and swore that he believed the
Parnell signature t. be genuine. AT the time
Of the Galway election tho present scandal
was limited at as tho real reason for Parnells
friendship for O'Shea, and yet the office was
accepted without protest and without effort
OIL his part to clear up the cloud put upon his
wifes honor. The portrait is from sketch
made of Capt. O'Shea when he was testify
ing before the Parnell commission.
