A Steamship Line to Africa.

The first vessel Of new line between
che port Of New York and sundry ports
of southern and eastern Africa has sailed
from here with cargo of machinery,
merchandise and lumber. She is Brit.
ish built. twin screw steamer of 5000
tons, well adopted to the trade in which
she is engaged. The British company to
which she belongs owns other steamers
of about the same power and tonnage,
and it is intended that vessel of the line
shall leave this port every month of the
year for trading purposes.
The Worcester, which has just taken
her departure, will first touch Africa at
Cape Of Good Hope, and after entering
and leaving the port of Cape Town will
proceed northward along the east coast
to Elizabeth, East London, Durham,
IDelagoa bay, Mauritius and such other
places as may offer opportunities for
trade. The company which has estab-
lished the line is British, but its ships
are ready to transport such American
products, goods and wares as can be
here upon the return trip such African
commodities as may be marketable in
this country.
We shall be very well pleased to get
some better share than we now have of
the African trade, which several Euro
pean countries are DESTROYS of control
ling, and we shall be pleased to encour-
age the Castle company in its efforts to
enlarge the exchanges between the two
continents. We could wish that it were
an American company, that its ships
were American, and that its profits, if
there happen to be any, were to be di-
vided between this country and Africa.

Growth OF the German Democracy.

In the middle of the confusion and
wrangling of other parties the Social
Democrats are full Of activity and of
hope. They have many reasons for their
confidence. For some years past the en-
peror, the political parties, the church,
even Prince Bismarck, have coquetted
with them more or less, have aeknowl-
edged that their aims are often excellent
and have promised with here and there
q qualifying "but" or 'if'' to carry them
out as far as is humanity possible. They
are therefore justified in the hope that
voters whose minds have been trained to
hear them with attention by this general
chorus of approval will be the more dis
posed to listen to promises which are not
qualified by Ifs" and "buts."
Then the Social Democrats are well
organized and know both what they
want and how they propose to obtain 1t.
These are great advantages to political
party in all countries, but are more par
ticularly so among the Germans, whose
natural instinct it is to obey orders and to
march in file, even when they are in re-
volt 1t is therefore quite possible that
the Social Democrats may double their
numbers at the next election, and it will
not be. surprising if that estimate is sur
passed.-London Saturday Review.

His Reason For the Choice.

A revival meeting was going on at
country church in q Texas town.
A party of young men were engaged
on railroad survey and could not
attend meeting in daytime, but went
at night. After q stormy sermon
from the preacher, who gave vivid
description of hell, its climate and in
habitants, followed by q redhot ex-
hortation from one of the brethren,
they literally stormed the fort. One
of the railroad fellows was sitting in
the back end of the church, and the
preacher went up to him and said
Don't you want to go to heavenT
mo" he replied.
This Mortified the preacher, and he
said to the congregation:
Here is young man who says he
doesn't want to go to heaven. Now,
my friend, why don't you want to go
to heaven"
Because l would have to die to go
there. "-Texas Siftings.

A Belgian Sunday Law.

The Belgian postoffice is about to issue
what is called special Sunday stamp.
1t will be 10-centime (2-cent stamp
and at one end will have little flap.
This can be torn off or left intact at the
users will and will carry in French and
Dutch these words: me pas livres lie
dimanche," "Nict bestellen op zontag,
which means in English, 1.-THE postman
is not to deliver Oh Sunday the letter
bearing this stamp"
This novelty is intended to start a
popular agitation against Sunday gov
eminent work in Belgium, which is to
be stopped if possible in the future.
1t is said that large number of people
will post letters unnecessarily on Sun
day mornings in order to give expression
to their sentiments.
1t will be interesting to hear how
many of these stamps are used.-Cour-

A Philosophical Family.

Amelia has pimples, and sores in the head,
From humors internal her nose has grown
red;
She's q boil on her nose that is big as bell,
But in other respects she is doing quite well.
And pa has dyspepsia malaria end govt,
His hands with salt-rhuem are all broken
He is prone to rheumatics that make his
legs swell,
But in other respects he is doing quite we'll.
And ma has night-sweats and troublesome
cough,
That all of our doctors can't seem to drive
of;
She wakes every night and coughs quite
spell,
But in other respects she is doing quite well.
There is nothing like philosophy to helr
one bear the ills of life, but in the case Of
this family what is most needed is goot
supply of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t would cleanse Amelia's bat
blood, cure pas ailments, and check ma:
cough. The Golden Medical Discovery,
by its action on the liver, cleanses the system
of impurities. 1t cures humors, ulcers,
boils, scrofula, salt-rheum, erysipelas, and
all kinds of sores and swellings. The only

Mr. Remnants Serious Charge.

George KEENAN,, the Siberian traveller,
writing on the Russian extradition treaty
in The Forum, makes the startling as
sertion "on the highest authority" that
even now "the Russian secret police at
st. Petersburg open and read the pri-
vate letters of the American minister
and the members of the American lega-
ton" He adds significantly: "It seems
to me that a government which makes a
practice of opening and reading not only
the private letters of its own subjects,
but the letters of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of friendly state, is not a
government upon whose honor it is safe
to rely in question of extradition."
