Mr.. Stanley at Las. Meets EmIn.

From my tent door, at 4:S0 p. M.
saw dark object loom up on the
northeastern horizon of the lake. I
thought it might be native canoe. or
perhaps the steel boatAdvance return
ing, but binocular revealed the di-
mensions of vessel much larger than
boat or canoe could possibly be, and
presently dark puff Of smoke issu-
ing from it declared it to be steam
er. An hour later we could distin-
guish a couple OF boats in tow, and at
$50 p. m. the steamer dropped an
chor in the baylet of Nyamsassi, in
shore of the island of that name.
Scores of our people were on the
beech In front of our camp, firing guns
and waving signals, but though we
were only two miles from the island,
no one appeared to observe us. Ar
dent messengers were therefore sent
along the shore to inform the party
on board Of our presence, and these
were, unhappily, SO exuberant that as
they fired their rifles to give notice
they were fired at in return by the
Soudanese, who naturally enough took
the wild figures for Kabba Rega's
people. However, no harm was done;
the boats crew distinguished their
comrades cries, the word was passed
that the people on shore were friends,
and the boat was made ready to con-
vey our visitors to the beach near the
camp. At o'clock. amid great re-
joicing, and after repeated salutes
from rifles, Emin Pasha himsel,
walked into camp, accompanied by
Captain Casati and Mr.. Jephson, and
one of the Pasha's officers. shook
hands with all, and asked which was
Emin Pasha. The one rather small,
slight figure, wearing glasses, arrested
my attention by saying in excellent
English: Il owe you thousand
thanks. Mr.. Stanley; I really do not
know how to express my thanks to
YOU" "Ah. you are Emin Pasha. Do
not mention thanks, but come in and
sit down. 1t is SO dark out here that
we cannot see one another" At the
door OF the tent we sat, and a wax
candle threw light upon the scene.
expected to see a tall, thin, military
looking figure, in faded Egyptian uni
form, but instead of 1t saw small,
spare figure in a well-kept fez and
clean suit OF snowy cotton drilling,
well ironed and of perfect fit. A dark
grizzled beard bordered face OF a
Magyar cast, though pair OF specta-
cles lent 1t somewhat an Italian or
Spanish appearance. There was not
trace on 1t OF i'll l-health or anxiety; it
rather indicated good condition OF
body and peace of mind. Captain
Casati, on the other hand, though
younger in years, looked gaunt, care
worn, anxious and aged. He likewise
was dressed in clean. cottons, with an
Egyptian fez for head covering.

A Monster Piece of Granite.

Vinalhaven, Maine, claims to have
produced the largest stone ever
brought to light. The Bodwell Gran
ite Company recently quarried shaft
Of granite which is the largest piece
Of stone ever quarried anywhere, and,
If erected, will be the highest. largest
and heaviest single piece OF solid stone
standing, or that ever stood, so far
as any record can be found. In height
it considerably exceeds any OF the
Egyptian obellsks. The tallest OF
these, which was brought from He'll
opolis to Alexandria by Emperor Con-
stantine, and afterwards taken to
Rome, where it is still standing, is 1O5
feet inches high, while the Vinal-
haven shaft is lis feet long, 10 feet
square at the base. and weighs $50
tons. It is understood, says Stone,
that the company quarried this i'm
mense monolith OF their own account,
net having an order for anything OF
the kind, and they suggest that it
would be fitting contribution from
Maine for the monument to be erected

| erect ears showed him to be somewhat
excited at the strange apparition, but he
evidently felt assurance in his keeper nv
whose side he had moved with short and
nervous step over perhaps half the dis.
tance between himself and the train
when the locomotive suddenly let of
| steam.
The terrified creature turned like a
flush, and in so doing for an instant
jwung the mans feet clean off the ground,
But before the horse made the first
| spring in the opposite direction the mans
feet were again on solid earth, and he
lost hold with neither hand, although
the horse dragged him beyond the place
OF starting before he could be stopped.
Casting his eyes around at the still hiss
ing locomotive the horse again sprung
forward. but could no more free himself
from the mans hold than rat could es-
cape from the teeth of terrier After
few more futile attempts the horse
again turned around, and this time found
himself able to endure the sight of the
locomotive. Thus he stood for perhaps two
two minutes with staring and ouiverinp
muscles. After a little the steam was
shut off. when the man loosed his hand
3
and with it began stroking his neck, still
speaking to him in the same low toned
voice.
Soon the horse became quite composed,
whereupon the man. again grasping the
throat strap with his right hand, urged
him toward the train as before With
many stops and snorts of inquiry the
horse permitted himself to be led again
toward the locomotive, which, when he
was about the same distance from it as
the other time, burst forth into a second
kissing, quite as loud =. was the first.
Again was repeated the scene already
described, but the horse did not drag the
man SO far as before. nor did he require
SO long time in which to be quieted.
The steam soon shut off again, and the
man and horse once more approached
the train, which now moved away from
the station. The East glimpse of them
showed the horse watching the now ac-
customed terror and the man by his side
still grasping the head of the leading
line and stroking tlS, horses neck-a
beautiful and expressive illustration OF
the power over an intelligent animal OF
mans courage, kindness. and patience

4 BATTLE IN THE SURF.
Terrific Combat between . Porpolss m


Ierfinc Combat Between . PorpoIss and
a Shark.
While the bathers were enjoying q
bath in the surf at Avalon, N j., says
the Philadelphia Times, large school of
porpoises made dash up the coast Just
behind the breakers. There were over
100 Of these slippery monsters so hard to
catch in net, and they never bite at
any known bait A good sized porpoise
will devour a bushel of moss bunkers or
young drum fish at single meal; and
just now the surf is filled with small
drum fish feeding at flood tide.
The man eating shark likes the same
kind of diet, and many bloody conflict
ensues between these robbers of the
great deep when they meet on common
feeding ground. In front of the hotel
there is considerable depth of water and
the porpoises came SO near that many OF
them could haze been reached with a
fishing rod. Suddenly, as the school Of
porpoises were tumbing over each other
in play, four foot shark made dash
out of water, pursued by ten foot por-
poise. The porpoise succeeded in biting
piece out of the man eater and made q
vicious plunge at the shark in mid air.
while the sea became red with blood.
Both fish were in duel to the death.
Neither tried to escape. The shark was
the swiftest in motion, but was an un-
equal antagonist The porpoise would
dive under him and strike him in the
belly under water, to the great discom-
fort of the man eater, whose jaws were
not big enough to make much impression
on the tough hide of the slippery sea
hog.
Three times they met in mid air and
struck each other as two bull elks would
butt each other with their antlers. The
porpoi slowly retired ten feet and with
the swiftness Of lightning struck the
shark in the middle and ripped him open.
The man eater soon hoated, dead, out on
the sea, while the porpose, badly hurt,
followed his companions up Townsend
Inlet

A COMPARISON.

I'd ruther lay out here among the trees
With the singing birds and the buml bees
A-knowin' that can do as please,
Than to live what folks call a life Of ease
Up thar in the city.
Fer really don't 'Iactly understan'
Where the comfort is fer any man
In walkin' hot bricks an usin' fan.
An enjoyin' himself as he says he can
Up thar in the city.
IT'S kinder lonesome, mebbe you'll say
A-livin' out here day after day
In this kinder easy, careless way,
But hour out hero is better'u day
Up thar in the city.
A fer that, JUS look at the flowers aroun'
A-peepin' their heads up all over the groun',
An the fruit a-bendin' the trees way down.
You don't find such things as these In town,
Or, ruther, in the city.
As said afore. such things as these,
The flowers, the birds and the bum'l bees.
n a. .livin' out here among the trees,
Where you can take your ease. an do as you
please,
Makes it better'n the city.
Now. all the talk don't mount to snun
Bout this kinder life a-bein' rough.
An I'm sure it's plenty good enough,
An tween you an me, t amt half as tough
As livin' in the city.
