THE Germans have sent to Germany
few African chiefs whom they wished
to impress with their power. The most
amusing delegation which has yet gone
to Europe from Africa was that of King
Mandara, who lords it on the southern
slope of Mount Kilima-Njaro. They
saw nothing in Berlin that seemed. to
them half so grand as their OWE conn
try, and they were constantly drawing
comparisons between the young En-.
peror William and their sovereign
which were not complimentary to the
German ruler.

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-From a source
which is absolutely reliable, it is learned that
Hon. Charles Emery Smith, United States
minister to Russia, who arrived in this city
a few days ago on a leave of absence, will
tender his resignation IN a few days at a per-
sonal interview with President Harrison.
1t is known that Colonel Smith Is not par
ticularly infatuated with the climate of the
Russian capital while, moreover, ne is IN
willing in view of his position as editor of
the Philadelphia Press and the influence
which he exercises in Pennsylvania republi-
can politics to remain abroad while the pre-
liminaries of the next national campaign
are beginning to shape themselves the
report derives additional strength from the
fact that the friends of ex-Mayor Z. NJ. Fit
Ter, one of Mr.. Smiths most personal and
political friends,- are bestirring themselves
to secure his appointment to the mission
when It shall have been vacated. Advices
from Washington, however, say that in the
event of Smiths resignation ex-senator
Blair will have the first refusal of the place
as a solace for the refusal of the Chinese
government to accept him as the American
representative

Two MEN were talking of the average

There were q thousand Englishmen OF
the Royal Guard in one line. and q
thousand Irishmen of the Connaughi
Rangers in the other. The lines began
at the same place, but the line of Irish.
men extended thirty-six feet further than

We have found the parasite in Chicago pork,
