1t is a great mistake to suppose that the
Emir of Bokhara, who has recently been
entertained with such lavish and magnif-
cent hospitality at st. Petersburg, has re-
turned to his own country. He certainly
left the Russian capital with the intention
of doing so. But on reaching Moscow he
was Informed that the Car, who had
taken leave of him with every protestation
of warm friendship and regard, preferred
that he should remain in Russia, and he
has accordingly been conveyed, much
against his will, to the Crimea, where it is
understood that he will spend the remain
der of his days, without being permitted
to revisit his dOmnions. The Car has
endeavored to atone in a measure for his
breach of good faith by compelling the un
fortunate and too-confiding Emir to accent
lump sum of money and an annual sti-
pend, but they constitute a sorry quid pro
quo for the kingdom of Bokhara, which is
now being deliberately taken possession of
by the Muscovite authorities in Central
Asia.
At the cost of another 400 men starved

geographical Importance to the world has

secrets, though not without the expendi
ture of vast amount of life and treasure.
1t has now been established that the great
central African Lake Tanganyika is in
direct communication with the Congo
river The credit of the discovery belongs
to NJ. Delcommune, who, starting from
Lake Tanganyika, followed the course of
the River Lukuga, which flows out OF that
great inland sea to the point where it Joins
the Congo, of which it may be considered
as one of the most important arteries.
"Uncle jerry Rusk's official successor
in the agricultural department, Secretary
Morton, who is practical farmer, declares
that he can husk more corn in a given

bushels in day when the weather is pro-
pitious," he says. In a "shucking match"
with Ex-senator Van Wyek, of Nebraska.
few years ago, Mr.. Morton claims to
have beaten his rival badly in stretch of
six hours. The prize in that contest was
a sorrel colt which the secretary still pos
sesses.
