miles through region infested by very
savage Indians. He always took his
gun with him, but this time found that
one of the family had it out. AS he

there was no danger of the Indians

From the Boston Herald.
The English teetotallers, commenting
on Mr.. Gladstone's recent Endorsement
of the Gothenburg system, allude to
the Grand Old Man as one of those who
are unfortunately accustomed to take
intoxicating drinks and have been
brought up to believe in their necessity
and utility And now the wicked organs
of the brewing and liquor interests are
quoting and circulating the remark
everywhere, with the not unnatural
comment that Gladstone at the age of
S4 is as vigorous and hale as any young
man.

lie Didn't Mind the Crook.

At the siege of Petersburg, a young
Confederate lieutenant who was a
great favorite with the girls, was badly
wounded in the left arm. Several of
the surgeons declared it would be nec-
essary to amputate the limb, but It
was finally decided that by removing a
section of the bone the arm might be
saved. But" said one of the surgeons
it will be a bad job, and when healed
the arm will remain crooked" Never
mind the crook" replied the lieutenant;
"set it for hugging and go ahead"

Al a recent gathering of notable men
the after-dinner chat turned upon per
sonal experiences, and a distinguished
jurist related this:
After graduation, he migrated to
western town; months of idleness, with
no prospect of Improvement, induced
him to seek a new home. Without
money to pay his fare, he boarded
train for Nashville. intending to seek
employment as reporter on one of the
daily newspapers. When the conductor
called for his ticket, he said:
Il am on the staff of the --, of
Nashville; l suppose YOU will pass me?"
The conductor looked at him sharply
The editor of that paper is in the
smoker; come with me; if he Identifies
you, all right"
He followed the conductor into the
smoker; the situation was explained.
MIR. Editor said:
oh, yes; | recognize him as one of
the staff; il is all right
Before leaving the train, the lawyer
again sought the editor:
why did you say you recognized me?
I'm not on the paper"
II am not the editor, either. I'm
travelling on his pass, and was scared To
death lest you should give me away

dcmption division of the treasury dc
partment There are in existence some
thirtv-tivr hundred national banks. each
of which has outstanding bank notes
ranging in amount from two or twelve
thousand dollars up to nearly half d
million. Every dollar of these notes
passes through the hands of the men
and women employed in the national
bank redemption division. This Office
has been in existence now for about
thirty wears There are employed IN
the division somewhere about twenty
five. girls and women. They handle
untold millions" of bills in the course
of a wear and If there was any danger
from contagious and infectious diseases
in old banllnotes it would seem as
though this would be the place To hnd

Yet Mr. Rogers. who has been chief
of the division for ten years, and who
has been connected with ii since IT was

that there has never been 4 cas- of IN

SLAVERY IN AFRICA.
Pee Noi -ntsrily Take the Yoke to -.s-
cape starNatIon.

In an account of famine prevalent in
Africa cabled To this country the other
day IL was stated that men were selling
themselves, their wives and children in
to slavery To insure themselves food in
return, and that whole villages had
voluntarily taken the yoke To escape
starvation. The incident illustrates
anew one of the conditions which first
introduced and have long sustained
African slavery. And slavery. SAYS an
eN-consul In the Boston Transcript. l.
not confined to the mountains and val
leys of British Central Africa.
The truth Il, the condition i com
mon to all Africa, from north Of Scne-
gambia to far south of the MosSamcd.-s
river In other words. il may he said
that slavery is an institution in Africa
wherever fetch or superstition IL an in
tiuence and improvidence a practice.
There are but few tribes whose mem
bers have not some degree of skill IN
the manufacturing of rude agricultural
implements which they use in the cul-
uvation of rice, sweet potatoes guinea
corn. and other staples indigenous IL
their soil. These products are raised
in quantities sufficiently large If eco
nomically used. To meet all necessary
needs, but economy il something to
them unknown; ON the contrary, i'm
providence Is the rule, with the result
that when d season of drought arrives
their granaries soon become empty
and famine takes possession of the land.
1t Is during this period of suffering
that thousands of SavageS become
slaves. The chiefs. the head men. the
strong, the powerful, in order that their
own lives may toe preserved seize the
weak and helpless and sell them into
slavery. In this way they renew their
exhausted granaries with treasures Of
grain, and at the same time reduce the.
number of consumers. Il l. pertinent
TO state right here that since the inter
ruption of the slavery trade between
Africa and America. the market for the
sale of slaves being difficult for the
West African tribes TO reach. il fire.
quently happens that those who in
former times would have been sold are
now killed.
The improvidence which 50 often is
the cause of their suffering il displayed
in all their doings. Not d single act l.
performed without the practicing Of
some superstitious rite accompanied
with revelry and great waste. even the
sowing of their farms with grain being
no exception.
