BosroN Republic: 1t is not generally
known that UnionlsC candidate pre-
sented himself to the electors of North
Kilkenny in the recent contest. His
name was j. K. Stephen. But when the
day of nomination arrived nobody could
be found to champion his cause. And
so he was not voted for at the election.
Mr.. Stephen issued an address in which
he set forth his views OF the condition
OF the country. The only thing we
found in it worthy Of notice was the fol-
lowing declaration: II believe that
Irishmen, even Irish Nationalist mem
bers Of Parliament, are a set Of very
decent and capable people, and have
no doubt that il they had a Parliament

Y stanleY's African Experience.

When in Chicago a representative or
the ribuneinGerviewed Stanley about his
exciting experiences in Africa, and in re-
ply to question the great explorer said:
"The most exciting adventure had in
Africa was on an island in Victoria Ny
anza--the island of Bcmbera. Bear in
mind that Victoria, next to Lake super
Tor, is the largest body OF fresh water in
the world. I had left the main body OF
the expedition and with ten natives as a
boat crew started to ciroumnavigate the
lake. We had gone all around the east
ern and northern shores and had ex-
hausted our supply Of food. When We
were eight miles off shore the natives
saw an island. Banana groves, plant.
aims, corn, and beans were seen along
the shore, and my men wished to land to
get food.
"I argued against the plan, as did
not know the temper of the natives. One
of my men-Sofani--argued long to pre-
vail upon me to make port. / was the
first man thew had ever seen, be said,
aud the people of the island would not
modest mo in any event. They belonged
to the Uganda. and as ! came direct from
their Emperor, and was in q measure his
guest, they would not dare TO harm me
or my men. The other Zanzibar men in
their cunning way pnckered their bellies
to show me how hungry they we're, max
ing loose pouches or purses Of skin, and
begged me to 90 ashore to get food.
Against my better Judgment I yield

OF the island were armed with spaars,

we empty our guns with the muzzles at.
their very hearts. A perfect swath OH
men sink upon the ground and their
living rscoil upon their second line.
Their supporting lines, confused and
excited, wildly commence firing through
the mass In front, Strengthening their
own men and throwing the ranks into
confusion. Our object had been OBJ
tanned. at the instant a battery on our
left opened and poured afeW rapid vol
legs into the confused mass and swept
it from the field. The enemy had dis
appeared, all but their dead and wound
ed, and over their PROSTATE bodies rang
the hearty cheers OF our reinforcing
troops. The almost fatal attack Of the
Confederates had been repulsed, but
where was the First Minnesota Only
AZ aen were gathered around the colors
--2O5 dead or wounded--nOne missing.
1t was the Thermopylw Of our reg.
iment"
1t Is doubtful If a more heroic and
more effective service was rendered by
any regiment OF equal strength during
the war. tt was more gallant than was
the "Charge Of the Six Hundred"
immOrta]Ized bv TennysOn's verse.
While the "Six Hundred" went to their
deaths uselesslY, the nohler $50 Of the
bravest and the best OF the North Star
state by their sacrifice saved the day
and possibly saved the Union, for we
must remember that the battle of Get
tysburgh was the pivotal point OF the
war. Defeat there meant the probable
success Of the Confederacv, whose arm
les flushed with victory were invading
the Northern states. Louis Napoleon
was eager to recognize the South and
was urging England to JOIN France in
doing so. England needed cotton and
favored the South as a customer for
manufactured products. while the
North was rival. Had this battle
been lost we may, probably. have had
not only the exultant invadin COnfed-
crate armies to meet, but the armies
and navies Of two ready, aggressive.
powerful nations. This repulse on Lit
tic Round Top to large extent deter
mined the result OF the next days bat
tie. 1t was the heroic First Minnesota
which just at tho right time threw it,
self into 1.-The imminent deadly breach"
and by SO doing went to Its death TO
turn the tide Of war and save the I'm
ion.
