A Story of Cecil Rhodes.

Often mentioned is Cecil Rhodes dis
like to women and the fact that he will
not allow female to serve him in any
way. He had secretary to whom he
was much attached. One day he an
nounoed the fact that he was going to
be married. The chief was thunder
struck, and after glazing at him for
second growled out, "Where the devil
am to get another secretary?" and then
walked out OF the room and banged the
door. His innate goodness Of heart,
however, prevailed after bit, for he
presented the bride with some lovely
diamonds, and when, soon after, he left
for England he lent the young couple
his carriages and horses, SO that the Of
Tending bride was enabled to return her
wedding calls at his expensel 1t never
occurred to him, however, to keep his
favorite secretary on. The mere fact Of
his marrying put that quite out Of the
pale of possibility.

AMBIGUOUS KIsSANE.
The Rogue and Forger Was Typical
Soldier of Fortune.

The Rogue and Forger Was Typical
Soldier of Fortune.
The hero of the following story. Kis-
sane, had been prominent business
man in Cincinnati. He was tried with
others and acquitted Oh the charge OF
burning the steamboat Martha Wash
ington to secure insurGAe, and after
ward was sent to the penltentiary fora
large bank forgery:
Into the Walker Nicaragua expedi-
hon, made up for the moiJ part OF "men
Of strong character, tired of the hum
drum of common life and ready for
career which might bring them the
sweets Of adventure or the rewards OF
fame" Kissane now, OIL coming out OF
the penitentiary, threw himself with all
the abandon of his daring nature. He ar
rived at Nicaragua Feb. l, 1855. Un-
der an assumed name he was soon ap-
pointed and commissioned assistant
commanding general, with the rank OF
major, and ordered to take charge OF the
commissariat Of the army. He showed
such ability that Walker soon promoted
him. For eight or nine months he had
the entire finances Of the country in his
hands, and but for his careful manage
ment the filibustering scheme, it is con-
coded, would have met an earlier de-
feat.
When General Walker marched to
Rivas, he left Granada in charge OF
Kissane. The latter made sudden sallies
on the neighboring haciendas, and, cap
turing the wives and daughters Of prom
inent Nicaraguans, held them as hos
tages to be exchanged for money or pro-
visions. He is reputed to have made a
fortune in the sale of confiscated hacien-
das and vouchers. Under his direction
cathedrals and converts and private
dwellings were pillaged Of gold, silver
and jewels. The plumber, which filled
six large cedar chests, was melted,
packed in small bulk and shipped to
New Orleans. ROBBED in priestly vest
ments and carrying the holy eucharist,
Kissane led triumphant procession
through the streets Of Granada. His au-
dacity and bravery won him devoted
followers. Few, if any, Of his compan-
ions in arms suspected his early history.
Nevertheless the tropics did not shield
him wholly from memory of the past.
Recognizing in one of the youthful fol-
lowers of the army the son of man
who had testified against him in the
Martha Washington case, Kissane
had the young man arrested on some
trumped up charge and shot down in
cold blood.
At the collapse of the expedition Kis
sane caused to be published in the pa
pers accounts of the heroic death o.
himself under his new name. Mean

Sanitation In Asia.

The appearance OF plague at Bombay
and Calcutta has produced one good
effect at all events. Before its advent
those prosperous cities had come to be-
lieve that they had nothing TO learn in
regard to sanitation. There was time
when they were open to reproach in
such matters as open sewers, polluted
water, and what not But by dint of
liberal expenditure of money and energy
they had made matters right and could
even challenge comparison with Paris,
Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the
awful eastern scourge, after striking
firm root at the western capital, flew
across the peninsula to the eastern, the
public became little doubtful as to
whether sanitary precautions had been
duly observed. First came inquiry, then
dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov-
cry followed discovery, each more ap-
palling than the last. We refrain from
giving particulars. Even to read these
horrors is sickening. But still more
terrible question presents itself, II the
two most cultured and wealthiest cities
in Hindustan are in this dreadful con-
dition, what must be the state Of less
favored centers of population in districts
where there are few whites and many
blacks? Were the plague to penetrate
inland, it would, we fear, find many
towns only too ready for its reception.

Exploring the Upper Niger.

After an absence of three years the
expedition under Lieutenant Hourst has
safely returned to Europe from the Nj
ger. The party assembled the Senegal
river and then carried the sections Of
an aluminium boat overland to the up
per part of the Niger. On reaching this
river the pieces Of the boat were put to-
gether and two native boats purchased.
In these the expedition sailed down the
Niger to Timbuktu, where stay Of
ten months was made. The voyage
from Timbuktu to Lokoja, at the con-
f1uenoe of the Niger and Benue, seems
to have been arduous, but from that
point the expedition was towed by a
launch belonging to the Royal Niger
company to the coast at Wari. How
much fresh Typographical information
Lieutenant Hourst's party has obtained
is not yet stated. This will depend on
the highest point reached on the Niger.
Reuter- message states that the expedi-
tion first met the river Niger at
Hayes" but that town is on the Sene-
gal river. There can be no doubt, how
ever, that much valuable scientific in
formation was obtained, for the expedi-
tion travelled slowly and was admirably
equipped One novelty was the use of a
photograph for reporting the native war
songs. The expedition kept peace with
the natives throughout the journey, in
which it differs greatly from some of
those previously conducted by French
explorers in that region. Mature.

The Reason Why.

A lady happened to remark to an ath.
letio friend that it was very strange that
most Of the bad bicycling accidents
seemed to happen to women-and could
he account for it--were they more
"foolhardy?" "Not at ALL" he replied.
"The real reason is, think, that wom-
en- cannot judge distances Now, from
bis earliest youth up a boy is trained
through his games to accurately meas
ure yards and feet. You will see a
woman rush in between two carts where
man could tell you to a certainty that
it would be impossible to avoid an acoi.
dent. 1t is just the want of trained
eye that does the mischief. "--Philadel-

A Prophecies COMPOUNDED.

One of the most divertinR tales told
in connection with the art of anagram
making relates to a certain Dame Elean-
or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
She lived in the time of Charles l and
was a constant croaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself SO OBJ
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fanoied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram "Reveal, O Daniel" This was
not good anagram, as it used the "l"
twice and did not employ the IS" at all.
She resisted all the efforts of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
SO complimentary to her prophetic in
sight, "Dame Eleanor Davies-never
so mad label" This caused her to
doubt the reality of her own inspiration,
and so utterly disconnected her that mo
more was heard of her.
