like Rats in 4 Trap"

This is what Lieut.. Jephson, Emin's
aid, wrote to Stanley. Himself and
Einin Pasha had been imprisoned by
mutinous Egyptian officers of their own
army. The native Africans would have
been faithful if permitted by their Off
Jephson and those close about them
were caught and held like rats in
trap" unable either to assert their au-
thority or get away, till the American
Stanley, the peerless explorer of this
century, came with his force of black
and white men and rescued them.
SO ends one of the most important at
tempts thus far to civilize central
Africa.
Yet it will be civilized, just as Amer
lea was. We may consider Africa at
present in practically the state in which
America was two centuries ago. 1t is
great continent, teeming with all the
products that make life desirable to tho
white man. These products the white
man wants and Will have. 1t is written
in the book of destiny, and nothing can
stop it. If states such as Emin sought
to erect in the interior of Africa cannot
be sustained, then the civilized nations,
that need more room, will parcel the
dark continent out among themselves
and people it with white men. In fact,
they will do this in any case.

The Marquis de Mores is bound to
attract attention on whichever side of
the Atlantic circumstances for the
time being happen to locate him
Running big cattle ranch i'll Dakota
and indulging in financial cccaa-
tricities in New York keep him in the
public eye while in America, and
monkeying with the duello contributes
largely toward securing his title to
prominence while lingering beneath
the balGy skies of his own IA tive
France. He took exception to an
article appearing in the Nation, a
Paris paper, challenged Dreyfus, the
editor, and fought him on the Belgian
frontier with pistols. The marquis
shot his adversary in the right arm
ana himself escaped injury. French
editors would better beware how they
offend the titled cattleman from Da-
kota, who has not passed through hair
raising adventures with cowboys and
Indians in vain.-PreSS.

Horse Race Winnings.

In summing up Of the earnings OF
70 cling horses for 1889, it has been found
that these amount to not less than S.
OuO. 900. But this is 4 high tide that can
hardly be reached every year. Every
wear finds more and more individuals
entering the horse racing occupation. 50
that this too will be ovcrdone iii time.
But at present there is no more rapid
money making Investment than race
horse, when he happens to hit. which is
perhaps once in seventy-ive times.
The largest winners for 1889 are the
DIVER brothers, of Brooklyn. They
counted on $200. 900 for the season, but
some of their horses failed them, notably
their two year olds, and the amount fell
short. As it is, however. they are Sl63,-
Sj4 richer than they We're six months
ago, all taken in from their racers. Four
teen years the Dryers have followed the
turf, and in that time their winnings
have amounted to nearly 4 million and
a quarter.
The Dwvers had twenty-tllree horses
on the track the present season, more
than any of the other owners. The horse
that brought them the most money on
the raa tracks of the country was Long
street, who won ten races out OF twenty
three. and in money, SIS, SG6. Long
street is 3-year-old. Next came the
5-vear-old horse Kingston, with So So.
Others followed in sums ranging from
$4,000 all the way down TO 81 .ooo.
There is 4 craze 1T present among the
racing public for contests between , and
3-year-olds. though at the close of q sea-
son the colts have often to be retired,
temporarily or permanently injured from
the hard running, which cannot but do
harm to their immature bodies and
limbs. But, of course. nobody cares for
that as long Us the young animals win
the money.
California seems. for some reason, to
be the best state for the breeding Of colt
racers.

In country where men mostly have
too much work to do to cultivate the
fine polish of manner which SO enhances
natural advantages, the late George IL.
Pendleton was an exception. He was
born to wealth, and possessed an attract
i've presence and person by nature. To
this he added by cultivation of both the
virtues and graces. His sense Of honor
was SO high, his manner SO courteous,
graceful and kindly that he early won
the name which accompanied him to his
grave, gentleman George" Besides
this distinction, he will be remembered
as long as we have a civil service in
America as the father of the civil service
law. 1t was the favorite measure of his
life. The law was passed, largely through
his earnest efforts. when he was United
States senator from Ohio.
