Lobengula.

Dr.. Carnegie, the missionary, says Lo-
bengula wished to enjoy some fruits Of
civilization while rejecting many others.
He tolerated the presence of 4 few mis-
sionaries because they brought him good
things from Europe that he coveted, but
he would Go absolutely nothing to help
them. A word from him would have
filled their schools with children, bat he
would not give it. The people believed
he was all powerful. 1t was he who
brought the rain and abundant harvests.
Their teeming gardens and abundance
of beer and cattle exhibited the mighty
power of the king and his miIidfulness
of their wants An encouraging word
from him would have done wonders for
the missionaries, yet when they asked
him to send them children to teach he
would not lift a finger to help them.
When Carnegie was about to so home,
he asked the king what he should tell
the white people about him, seeing that
he had been so indifferent to the prog
ress of missionary work The king re-
piled, "You will tell them what you
have seen.
1t was probably as well for Loben-
gula that he died when he did. His peo-
pie forced him into the war, believing
that he was invincible His overwhelm-
ing defeat destroyed all confidence in
him as the great wonder worker of the
tribe, father who by his supernatural
power could always protect his people.
He could never have been king again

Negro Logic.

1t was just before the war. SQUIRE
Johnson had been to Nashville, and
on his return home brought ole
Nose, the favorite slave on the plan
tation, 4 new hat. Nose was very
proud of it. The next Sunday the
squire was driving home from church
with his family, and the carriage
overlook Nose and his ole miss
trudging along afoot 1t was
raining slightly, and the squire no.
ticed that Nose was bareheaded aud
was carefully protecting his new hat
with his coat. -.
why. don't you wear your new hat
Nose? inquired the squire. You'll
get that old head of yours wet.
OATS so, Mass Johnson, replied
Nose, but dat ole heads yours and
de hats mine.
The squire used TO miss chicken
now and then, and at length the
mysterious disappearance was laid
at the door of one Ezekiel, who was
accused of the theft by his master.
Zeke was a darlley of exceptional
wit He had picked up Il little arith-
metic and prided himself on his acute
ness. When charged with the chick
en- taking he asked warily:
Now, Marse Johnson, if | can show
you dat ] only TUX dem fowls for yoh
good, will you let me go jus dis time?'
The squire was curious to hear his
defense and told him he would do so.
Well, you say you paid nine hun
dred dollars for me, and | weighs JUS
fhnIT ~ ,1.,l ,a1 ~,
Dat makes six dollars pound. Now,
If | turn yOh chicken meat dat ain t
wuif noah dan ten cents pound into
niger meat dat's wulr six dollars yoh
jus dat much better off. Don't you
sGe?'
OF course the squire saw, and he
used often TO repeat the story and
laugh at the darkey's ingenuity.
The war came on and Zeke was one
day detailed off the plantation TO
help throw up some earthworkS. The
enemy observed the defense prepare
lions and began TO shell the place
The first missiles went wide of the
mark, but after q few rounds the
range was found more accurately and
the shells began to burst uncomfort-
bly, close TO Ezekiel.
He stood his ground as long as lie
could, but at last dropped his shovel
and ran for his life The officer in
charge of the operations met him Il
little distance down the road and,
halting him ordered him TO explain
his flight Zelle was trembling with
fright, but found breath to say:
'Dey's shooting over dare, and
Mars Johnson he's poh man. He
paid nine hundred dollars for me in
Memphis and he can't afford to have
me killed And with that he took
10 the woods.

stenog.rapIers Able to flake Big Money
During Debntes In the Houses.
1t is true that there are 20 or SO mere
members in congress than there We're Il
few years ago, but change has come
over the spirit of debate, Long winded
speeches are rarer; men talk quicker and
say more. The incessant agitation Of
the tariff has been an education i'll fig
ures, and if man makes wild state
ment he is promptly contradicted
A stenographer who can report the
house debate is at the top of his profess
sion, and there is no more promotion for
him. The men who do this work earn
incomes that would make the average
professional man turn green with envy,
for when congress is not i'll session they
are in demand at the highest figures 70
report the most important matters.
There was man in Washington once,
good many years ago, who through
bad habits had lost every faculty he had
except that of writing shorthand not
only as fast as people could talk, but as
fast as they could think In his inter
walls of sobriety he could make money
hand over fist as a house stenographer.
He generally kept faarly sober during
the session of congress, but as soon as 1t
was over he would deliberately drink
himself into insensibility.
His services were so much i'll demand
that men who knew his powers and
wanted his services would come to
Washington, bring him out of his fit of
dissipation, get him sobered up, take
him off TO the scene of action and watch
him like a hawk while the case-gen-
orally great lawsuit-lasted Then, as
soon as it was over, he would go back
to his evil ways. But as long as he lived
he could write shorthand, and as long
as he lived he made fine income.
There is superstition that every tariff
bill calls for the death Of one of the
house stenographers. The Mckinley bill,
the Morrison bill, both had their vic

Advice Of n Successful Nan.

think the habit of generosity may
be cultivated like other habits. And
! have felt that it is great mistake
to put Off being generous until you
are dead. In the first place, you
lose the pleasure of witnessing the
good that YOU may do; and again, no
one can administer your gifts for you
as we'll as you do it yourself. 1t is II
great pleasure to be brought into
personal relations of that kind, and
to make people feel that you are not
philanthropist in the abstract, but
that you are interested in them per-
sonally, and care for their welfare.
In that way you benefit them not
merely in natural way, but you
make them feel that men are really
brothers, and that they were made to
help one another. Not only is that
feeling agreeable in itself, but 1t will
be apt to prompt them TO carry out
the principles themselves. Put your
self into all YOU do, and let Others
feel that YOU are there. Do not only
contribute to a charitable object, but
90 yourself and help. 1t may seem
an inconvenience at first, bat soon
you will come to consider It worth
any inconvenience.
Perhaps l ought to say. a word
about the companions 2 Xonng INN MN
should choose for himself in life.
You should try to make companions
of the best people you become ac'
uuainted with. In order to do this
you must have something in your
self that may be return TO them for
what they give you. 1t is not neces-
essary for this purpose to be genius
or to have a remarkable intellect, or
extraordinary erudition. But be
yourself and be man, and learn to
think of others before yourself,
and YOU will have friends enough and
of the best. To be intimate with the
magnanimous and the noble, aids to
form those qualities in ones self. a
man is known by the company he
keeps. and those who know what
friends you have. will be able to form
a very correct idea of what you your
self are. You should see to it that
this estimate be as high as your op-
portunity may secure,
cannot better sum up my advice
to young people than to say that L
have derived, and still find the
greatest pleasure in my life from do
ing good TO others. DO good con-
stantly, patiently and wisely, and

your life was not worth living

BRIDGE BILL VETO.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1S94.-Mr. Prudeh,
one of the Presidents clerks, appeared in the
House at 1:12 with the Presidents veto OF
New York and New Jersey bridge bill.
MThe reasons assigned by the President for
his veto of the New York Bridge bill are
that the bill does not prohibit the
construction of piers in the river;
that the commerce of the river should
not be interfered with by the erettion or
bridges; that expert engineer opinions agreed
that the river at the point fixed for the cross
ing of the bridge can be spanned by a single
span; that in the bill of the New
York Legislature chartering the
company the erection Of piers is
prohibited; that the bill permits the bridge
company to charge an undue amount for the
transportation of mails, and that charter
for similar structure has already been
granted by Congress to another company,
by an act which requires the construction OF
a single span bridge.

wURTEMBERgs RESERVED RIGHTS
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

BERLIN, Jan. 20, 1S94--During the debate
on the Wine Tax bill in the Reichstag today,
Herr Paver, a member of the Volkspartei,
who sits for Stuttgart district, reproached
the Federal Governments, especially that OF
Wurtemberg, for agreeing to such measure
being brought before the Reichstag. The
reserved rights of Wurtemberg he declared,
were interfered with by the bill.
DR. Mittnacht, Prime Minister OF Wurtem-
berg, Immediately declared that Wurtem-
berg possessed no reserved rights in regard
to wine. He added, however, that during
1870 when the negotiations for establishing
German unity were being conducted, Prussia
had solemnly promised that wine would
never be taxed for imperial
purposes. Entirely upon the strength
of this promise Wurtemberg had refralned
from then insisting that clause prohibiting
the taxing of wine for imperial purposes
should be Incorporated in the Constitution
The statement caused very decided sem
sation in the House
Continuing DR.. Mittnacht said that
Wurtemberg had in the Bundesrath siren
uously opposed the Wine Tax bill, and would
persist in her opposition to tax which
meant ruin for the wine growers.
When DR.. Mittnacht declared that Wur-
temberg had opposed the bill in the Bundles
rath there was great applause among the
members of the Left, and when he added
that the Kingdom would continue its oppo-
sition he received storm of applause from
all the opponents of the government pro-

IN A PITIABLE STATE
Miss May BarrowclfG Recovering
Rut Very SLOWLY.


But Very slowly.
Warden and Mrs. Osborne took walk
between the hours of six and seven o'clock
last night over the scene of the Barrowcliff
assault. They went with view of seeing
how the neighborhood appears at the time of
night at which it was supposed that Miss
Barrowcliff was assailed. They went, too,
to prove for themselves whether or not the
board walk theory was a likely one.
1t was 6:1S when they started down
West Side avenue from Sip to the railroad.
This was just the time that Miss Barrow
cliff is supposed to have left Smiths house.
The warden said to reporter that the only
signs of life along the avenue were a runa-
way wagon with a man chasing it, a rounds
man and patrolman. He saw
the lot where Miss Barrowclif
told DR.. Varick she was crossing when, as
she supposed, she fell. As he reached here
he saw a train slow up at the station. He
crossed the lot and as he reached the other
side number of passengers made towards
started towards West Side avenue. His
faith in Miss Barrowcliff's story is
beginning to weaken little. He said of her
condition this morning :-sShe is in much
the same condition as she has been in for
week. She is improving slowly but is still In
very weak state. Why, all this talk about
her sitting up is nonsense She is not able to
raise herself up in bed without assistance
from the nurses, who have to hold her and
pile holsters behind her to keep
her up. She has not taken bit of solid food
yet, taking nothing but liquid nourishment.
She looks very badly, her face being drawn
and pale as that of death and her eyes are in
an awful condition. She has made no fur
ther statement, and the police and DIR.
Varick refrain from questioning her,"
