The Congo Rivers Deep Mouth

The London Society of Telegraph En-

soundings along the coast Of Africa with a
view of laying a cable from England to
Cape Town. At the mouth of the Cong"
they found a remarkable state of affairs,
their maps and soundings showing that
that rivers mouth is an extraordinary
marine gully Of no less depth than l,452
feetl The mouth of the Mississippi at an
equal distance from shore would only show
thirty-three feet, and the Thames forty
feet. The Congo's incredible depths were

A Poets PItifuI PLIGHT.

Once friend, lady who had some prop
erty in Virginia, wrote Mr.. Whittier of
having named a street in a new town for
him, and having set aside a portion Of
ground in his name. He replied with
thanks, adding that he had that week re-
ceived news of no less than three towns or
streets being named for him, with gift of
town lots, adding, IF this sort of thing
goes on much longer shall be land poor. {"

A Snn Ansuer

An editor received a letter from an in
dignant subscriber. who said, II don't
want your paper any longer"
To which the editor mildly replied:
"That is all right. wouldn't make it
any longer if you did, because in that case
should have to buy a new machine. The
present length just suits me, and l am
glad it suits you"
It is hoped this soft answer turned
away wrath. "-London Tit-Bits.

ebratious-Deaths of Prominent Sen.
The year 1892 has been remarkable in at
least two respects. Very few years in all
:he worlds history have been marked by
such a general peace. though war was
threatened in many places, and yet there
have been several stupendous political rev.
olutions, chief among them those in Great
Britain and the United States. Death has
been busy among the great. Tennyson
and Whittier-poet laureate Of the British
empire, and the poet of freedom-have
passed 70 the bosom of Divinity. Death
has twice visited the White House.
In the annals Of labor and general bust
ness the year was certainly one with
out precedent. There were more de-
structive riots in 1877, and there have
been years OF greater abundance, but
IL is claimed BIZ experts that in 1892,
for the first time in America, there was
at least average prosperity contempt
rary with great industrial disturbances.
The bloody conflicts at Homestead, Pa,
and in east Tennessee, in Idaho and Wy
oming, and the comparatively blOOdless
labor riots elsewhere, will certainly make
the year a notable one in economic history.
Though there has been no war there
have been many disasters, and in the first
half Of the year the losses by fire, flood and
windstorIns in the United States were
many. Four great tornadoes killed nearly
POO people, and four great mining disasters
destroyed as many more 1t is estimated
that about 5000 lives were lost in the
United States by great accidents-among
them Sc By the fall Of bridge on the Lick
ing river. 196 by fire and food on Oil creek,
Pennsylvania, and many in minor disasters.
Great accidents by flood, fire and explosion,
great riots among laborers and tremen-
dous political TevOlutions-these will GER
tainly make 1892 memorable in history.
