The forest Of Msongwa is infested by a
a tribe of chimpanzees OF great stature,
who make almost nightly raids on the
the villages and little plantations of the
Mswa natives, carrying away their
bananas and Otner fruits. Thore is notu-

nothing remarkable about this fact. since

the statement that in these thievlng raids

"1f / had not been myself a witness of
this specticle," Mr.. Stanley reports Emin

possessed the art of making fire."
On one occasion, Emin says, a chin

drum from the huts of his European
troops and made off with it, beating IL as
he ran.
The monkey took the drum to the head
quarters of his own people who were
evidently much charmed with If, for the
Egyptian soldiers often hoard the mon

larly. Sometimes in the middle Of the
night some sleepless cnimpanzee would
get up and go TO beating the drum.

Ar ExccIlent Record.

When the work of the Legislature
comes to be calmly reviewed, we be-
lieve it will be found that very little
partisan work was done, and that
little was almost all within the limits
OF moderation. The great mass of
legislation contemplated only the
public good.
The principal partisan bills were
the Congressional and Assembly re-
apportioninent measures and the
Newark Board of Works bill. The
feebleness of the Republican attacks
on these measures. is the best proof of
their propriety and justice. or course
the Republican papers talk in a per-
functory way about the gerrymander
ing of the State; but they make no
serious effort to prove their case.
They seem, indeed. too much sur
prised and disconnected by the action
Of the Democracy to indulge in any
serious criticism. The Board of
Works bill is so obviously just in its
application to Newark that the Re
publicans of that city did not even
make a formal effort to oppose it. All
the delay came from other Democrats
who were, careful to see that in doing
right in Newark the Legislature did
no wrong to Jersey City.
Looking I'VE the other work of the
session, several measures strike the
dispassionate observer as of eminent
public utility. The tax bill. the State
police bill with its incidental destrue-
ton of Pinkertonism, the establish
ment of the State Insurance Bureau,
ond the law for the incorporation of
villages are decided advances in legis-
lation, and innumerable minor re-
forms ranging from the organization
of State departments down to the
management of borough affairs might
be mentioned besides.
At the close the Assembly displayed
an unexpected moderation in deal
ing with the case of Mr.. Engard.
The temptation was very strong
W Icbdlldl6 IOT Lue DIuUT-
Mcdonald outrage by declaring
his seat vacant. and there was much
if not conclusive ground for such a
ruling; but the Democracy behaved
with a generosity which has never
been shown by Republicans under
similar circumstances.
As we said yesterday, there are
things to regret in the history of the
session. The State Excise bill, we
think, is one of these. The bill ere
ating Superintendents of the Jersey
City and Newark Police and Fire De-
partments, we are very sure, is an
other. Perhaps Governor Albeit
may yet veto these obnoxious meas
ures, and SO amend the record of what
was in many respects the most useful
Legislature New Jersey has seen in
years.
