Curious Pines.

A long and slender-stemmed pipe
was brought from Central Africa
some years ago from the neigh
borhood of Albert Nyanza, by the
Stanley expedition, and was obtained
from the dwarf tribes inhabiting the
Areweni and Ituri forests, near the
equator.
To make the pipe the little people
take the midrib Of the banana leaf,
which is cellular, and by pushing a
long hard river weed through the
rib they are enabled to get the bore
required for the pipe stem.
They plug the lower end with clay,
and, rolling up section Of the
banana leaf, into tiny cornucopia,
cut a hole in the stem and insert it
Tor bowl, the sap in the green leaf
preventing it's combustion as the to-
bacco burns.
This pipe recalls the bowl made
from a potato, and the stem made
out Of piece Of twig, from which
the pith had been driven, which was
employed by many American soldiers
curing Cne great war.
A pipe having an appearance like
an inverted clowns hat comes from
the neighborhood Of Fort Bodo, near
the mouth Of the lturi River, and
was brought from there by Sergeant
T. Heazle Parke. 1t was formed of
the peculiar white stickey clay that
is taken from the house of the white
ant Of equatorial Africa.
This clay is used by the native
women to make a flooring for their
waffle huts, and being spread over
the surface of the ground when soft,
dries out a hard and white mass,
something like Portland cement, and
capable of receiving very high
polish. The pipe in question is pol
ished equal to the finest meerschaum
Another curious pipe is one made
from shell which comes from New
Guinea. While the pipes used in the
interior are more generally made Of
bamboo, those smoked in the neigh
borhood of the coast, and especially
In Savo and the Solomon Islands, are
made of shells which are picked UP on
the seashore.
At present the principal pipe used
IN the southern portions of New
Guinea and the adjacent islands is
the English clay, and pipe Of this
description is generally acceptable as
part of the payment for days
labor In that district.
Quite recently some curious pipes
were found In the vast guano depos-
It's of Peru, the date OF which is
placed by scientists, TO whom they
have been submitted, as co-equal
with the famous Peruvian pottery Of
the eleventh or twelfth century.

SILVER BUT Nor sEorIoNAL1sm.

It will be remembered that Governo
West declined to appoint delegates to the
Pan-American Bimetallic congress at st.
Louis. and wrote the president of the
association to that effect, explaining his
position. He was in sympathy with
proper efforts to establish and maintain
bimetallism, buC not with any attempt
to boycott portion of the United States.
Governor Crounse, of Nebraska, is of a
similar opinion, and the views of those
gentlemen on the main question are
sound and american.
The Cham Der of Commerce of this city
has appointed as delegates to that con-
vention, Messrs. j. w. Donnelan and

to represent the business interests of this
city and voice the sentiments of the peo-
pie on the issues to be discussed. Neither
of them. however, is prepared to spend
the time to be present, but they have
Joined in a communication to the presi-
dent of the association, the text of which
we are able to present to our readers.
A certain amount of selfshness is
doubtless essential to self-preservation
both of individuals and communities, and
of certain sections OF the country when
viewed in relation to the rest. But when
it is carried to the extent of anything
detrimental to others 1t becomes wrong
and should be discountenanced aud over

est number has become 6 hackneyed
sentence, but it expresses sound political
doctrine as we'll as advanced philanthropy.
The congress or convention at St.
Louis has for its principle object the
benefit OF few contiguous states and the
detriment of others. 1t is therefore not
thoroughly American, butts sectional and
opposed 10 that broad spirit of union and
fraternity which should take within its
scope and influence every part of the ma
tion to which we are attached in com
mon. The gentlemen named as delegates
