STORY TELLING IN AFRICA
Henry III. Stanley Tells of Camp
Fire Chats.

1t was a custom with us, when
crossing Africa in 1S74-77, to meet
after dinner around the camp fire,
to while away the evening with
pleasant gossip, "reminiscences,
curious African legends. Sunset
in the tropics is soon followed by
darkness, and the heavy vapors
rising from the hot, steaming
ground appear to give thickness
and substance to it. A large
fire is then very agreeable, as it
drives away the damp and dew,
and is a comfort to look into its
flames and glowing embers, where
in each man sees what he sees.
No doubt the drift of the mind at
such times, to think of such things
as are driven away by the needs
of the stirring day, suggested that
we could be more sociable and
more interested if we related to
one another such stories as were
told to us by the old folks at
home On trial it was found that
IACIO nCIC SOlLC VI Od1 11lCI w llO
were most accomplished in the
art of narration, and l fancied,
after writing one or two out, that
there was some kind of a moral of
an African character in each, after
which 1 paid more attention to
them, and on retiring from the
circle, 1 would hastily jot down
what / had heard. If there were
some points still obscure in the
story l would invite its narrator to
relate it to me at the first hating
place. But then I would find also
that there was great deal of diff
ference between the story told to
me alone and that related to the
audience round the fire-there was
then less local color, less detail,
and less Observation-Disclosures

f. Devauschelle and Isaac Cock
EFT were arrested early yesterday
morning and charged with having
opium in their possession. Forty
nine half-pound tins of the drug,
valued at $18 tin, was found in
their rooms.
Rather a curious story lies back
of the arrest. Devauschelle, who
up to two months ago was custom
house guard, is said by parties who
should know to have boarded the
S. n. Castle when she arrived here
on her last trip, and to have asked
the carpenter if he had any opium
on board. That worthy said that
he had fifty tins, and offered De-
vauschelle 800 to let him land it
unmolested by the authorities. But
Devauschelle, with a virtue that
deserves great credit, refused the
small bride, but said that for $500
his conscience would be silenced
and the opium could be landed
without his feeling any of the pangs
that are said 10 follow evil doors.
The carpenter asked for time to
consider the proposal, and that
night Devauschelle, as became his
duty as a customs official, went on
board the Castle and hypothetical
the seductive drug. He forgot, how
ever, TO mention that fact to his
superiors, but took the fifty tins
home with him. The next morning
he appeared before the grief
stricken carpenter, and said he
had decided not to accept even the
$500 that he had demanded. 1t is
said that this matter leaked out,
and in consequence of it he was
dismissed from the service.
However that may be, the forty
nine tins discovered yesterday on
his premises, are supposed to be the
same opium, minus one tin, that
was brought here by the festive
of the Castle.
The case against the two half
whites who were arrested was con-
tinued till October 18th, when they
will have chance to explain their
possession of so much dope.

BUGS MADE LIFE UNBEAR-
ABLE.
The Bark Yuba Taken Posses
sion Of by South American
Insects.

After resting quietly on a cargo
of bones and hide clippings in the
hold of the bark Yuba for some
days, a miniature army of South
American bugs and spiders, reused
into activity by the equatorial
heat, invaded every nook aad cor
ner of the vessel, driving the
sailors into the rigging for rest, and
making the voyage altogether a
miserable one.
The Yuba toe a cargo of lum-
Der from a Gull port to Buenos
Ayres, and then loaded bones and
hide clippings for Philadelphia
Captain Currie reported that his
run from Buenos Ayres was a
pleasant one until he reached the
equator. Then the heat was in
tense and it seemed to put life and
vigor into myriads of bugs and
spiders, which began to swarm the
cabin, forecastle and even the deck
of the vessel. Provisions, except
ing canned goods, were speedily
missed, and hammocks had to be
swung in the rigging in order that
the sailors could sleep at night.
Captain Currie exhibited in the
Maritime exchange his wide-bri1n-
med hat, from which the bugs had
eaten the sweat-band, and he de-
clared that the voyage was the
most uncomfortable one he has
ever experienced. The vessel will
have to be -fumigated in order to
free it from the bugs.-[Ex

Why defer the pleasure

Although the President has given it nnl
that offices are to be let, hut ex-.ihceholders
need no, apply the untiring place hunters all
not let up aud If reports in the daily jvnrnal'
Of the State are to he believed, the scramble
has begau and will continue with uncessinl
vigcr for some time to come. The first Of The
Maryland plums to be handed out will in all
probability be the position of Collector Of Inter
nal Revenue, now held by Mr.. Hill, 0 Prince
Georges county. The Office Itself is prize
and if the occupant is not assessed 10
heav, by his party or too ofen draf ed upon
by the impeeunious congressman Of thd con
gressional district from which be halls NJ cnn
after four year term, retire in happinesF and
plenty from the field of political strife And
then the under appointments pertaining 10 the
Internal Revenue Office are numerous, well
paying and non civil service, so the position
OF Collector ofInhrnal Revenue is much sought
after. This congressional district has gotten
the place before and will in all PROBABILITY get
It again. OF the candidates the Baltimore
Sun makes mention Of the following:
'Ex-SheriG Piakney A. Sraggs and Mr.. Ste
phen Cambria, both Ct Prince Georges coun-
ty. would like TO have this birth Mr. Cam
brill is well known as the ex-Presdent OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, and is
a broiher-in-law of Senator German.
Mr.. Scaggs is a resident Of Brpnchvillr al d
is an ex-member OF the Maryland Legislature
Other apt icants for this position are VIM B
Clagett, also Of Prince Georges; Marshall
Dent Of St Mary's; F. NJ Cox, Of Charles,
and Thomas Hunt, Of Howard. The friends
Of Dr. George Wells, of anne Arundel, have
also spoken of him in this connection. DR..
Wells has not, up to this time, signifed bis
intention of entering the field.
MIR. F. ~ Cox is the editor Of Democratic
paper in Charles county. He held the posi-
tion of acting collector of Internal Reveue at
the time OF Mr.. Hills appointment. General
Chapman was appointed Collector after the
death Of JOSEPH X Roberts, and he appointed
Mr.. Cox deputy. Upon the refusal Of the SEN
ate to confirm Gen. Chapman, Mr.. Cox succeed
ed to the collectorship. The question an
moving his friends is whether the dec
laration of the President not TO appoint office
holders under bis former administration to the
same positions they then held will affect Mr..
Cox's chances in securing this place 1t is
contended that as Mr.. Cox was never confirm
ed, and that as be only served an unexpired
term, be cannot come under the category des-
ignated by Mr.. Cleveland"
Of course the lesser lights who want to be
recognized for the subordinate places such as
deputies, gaagers and store-keePers, are toe
numerous TO mention. Among those Of this
