Capt. pirong we know very well He bus lived heie the greater part of bis life. His father was the last may: or of the old municipality before the greater New York was born. When the reformers were looking around for a candioate for mayor, after examining the record of thousands of men - who could be entrusted with that greai of- fico they finally selected Strong, a dry goods merchant, whose character, like that of Caesar's wile, was away be yond a suspicion, of unquestioned in- tegrity and great administrative abil ity. He was the man of the millions of this great city who completely fill- ed the hill and here arises a very deli cate question. Could a man be in- trusted with the government of mil lions of his fellow men who was not able to furnish an exemplification of his ability in the government of his own family ?. He had hut one son, the resent Capt. Bradlee Strong, who as furnished fuch a profound sensa- tion from the Tenderloin gistrict in the greater New York to our new ac quisitions in Manila, Japan has been no stranger to his wandering feet, and hin experience in China, if he is still alive, may yet furnich matter for an interesting book, While we are pretty well aeguainted with Capt. Pradles Strong, we also have 4 passing knowledge of the history of the sign who led the young soldier astray. ¥ well recollect one afternoon a few yours ago, when this great city, from the Battery to the Bronx, was in a state of the wildest commotion, when the bulletin boards at the principal newspaper offices announced the sud- den departure of May Yohe, no man knew whither, She was an operatic star of some consequence and consider- able of a favorite with the general public. Where she gone? And why did she go? These were ques tions no one could answer at the time. We were not kept in suspense very long, for in a few weeks she turnéd up in London as lady Hope, the wife of a rich banker, who after wards, at the death of his mother, be- came the possessor of the celebrated Hope jewels, whose remarkable his- tory was known all over the civilized world, aud which the infatuated bank: or afterward presented to his newly married bride. x The Hope marriage and the presen tation of the jewels wax for a time the table talk of England, where the character of the bride was as well known as it was in the greater New York, but the end of this scandalous history has come at last. Capt. Strong's money is gone, as the no: tovious Jim Fisk wsed to say, "gone where the woodbine twineth."" The siren on whom he lavished all his wealth has no further use for him now' that his money is gone. The ve. port in that he has committed suicide and lady Hope, on being informed of that fact, replied that' she thought it might he true, A singular circum- stance in connection with this scandal is that the father of Capt. Strong; who was our late mayor and who gl! his lile was looked upon as a man oi spotless integrity amd ~~ honor, was found to be deficient $100,000 in his atcounts after his death, and that de ficiency has never yew hesn explained. It is a sad ending to what promised to be a brilliant aud honest history. The fortund of father and son. is soat- tered to the four witidy of heaven and s0 ends this romantic history. Now that we have supped full of horrors, with wars, suicides, fires and railroad disasters, strikes by the mil: lions ameng the working olan and ling disasters in the tfines jt is eally. a relied to turn fom 'the con: templation of these horrors to.sgine THE DAILY WHIG, SATURDAY, JULY that really is 4 benefit to man A real and honest effort iv work to Kive. ols people square honest food we hove the ok gd mot far distant when a man can get a decent cup of coffee, or a woman a respectable cup of tea.

An English firm having 'a specialty = of any article of food seems to take a greater pride in its production than we do here in the United States. In due time the name of the firm becomes a valuable asset in the business. The name may exist for hundreds of years after the inventor has passed away. 1 shall never forget my surprise while passing over the mountaine be- tween Oregon and California. I stop- ped at a wayside restaurant. to get something to eat, sitting down on a log, which not only furnished 5 seat, but also a part of the table, the whole affair belonging to a brawny savage, whose apology for a shirt was rolled up at the sleeves and open- ed at the breast. To his waist was strapped a good-sized six-shooter on one side and a bowie kmife, the stout blade of which had evidently seen pervice, "What will you have, gents ?"' said the landlord, who stood there alone in hig glory. "What have you sot?" I inquired. *'Most anything that a hungry man wants," said be. "Bear meat, veni- son, mountain trout." The revelation of startled me. "What did you say?" 1 asked. "Bear meat, venison and mountain trout, Anything else ?" 1 enquired. The landlord looked at me though he thought I was joking. "Well, yes, sir, I could throw in a slice of bacon and some hog's liver. a" 1 said, "we will take them al, It té6ok only a fow moments to stir up the fire and put the preparations for the food in motion. My mountain chef was evidently no amateur in the art of cooking. The savory grompa that arose from his fry- ing pans and pots filled the air and satisfied the promise of good cheer. He went into his cabin and came back with a piece of board as white as the driven snow. This served for the ta- ble, on which this mountain chef be- gan to lay the food. The service was neither Sevres, silver or gold, but it seemed to me hat no food that 1 had sat down to in foreign lands ever tasted hall as good. "Have some soup, sir "Yes,"" I replied; "by all means," and he handed me un platter of tin. never thought of the platter, but it was 'the soup that beguilad me.

The Fans of West Africa living east of the Gaboon and between the Ogo- we and Sangd rivers have long heen supposed to be the largest of African tribes. They are cannibals, who for years opposed every effort of the whites to ascend the Ogowe river. Ay last they permitted the Frenchman De Brazen to explore the river. They were awe struck by the wonderful display of fireworks he made one 'evening and did not dare to refuse the request of the mysterious white man, who ap peared to be in league with spirits, The French explorers who have been travelling through the inner part of the French Congo to study its com- mercial resources have learned sowe new facts about "the Fans living be tween the Ogowe and the Sango tribu- tary of the Congo in a large region. which, until now, has been almost un known. In an account which Auguste Foret has written of the Fane in this new territory, he expresses the opin ion that this race numbers at least 3,- 000,000 souls. He says it is fortunate that they have no political or military organi 'zation. yw 'do not recognize the gu- thority of any great chief and are fre- quently at war with one another.

Arizona Republican Squire Redwi Phoenix for several described a smoking Jake not far from the country where he lives. The Jake is about forty miles from the town of Imperial and twenty-one miles south of Mexico, It lies within the Cocopah country at the base oi the mountaing, even helow the foot hills, bit it has not been there vory long. It is on the Mexican side of the line. It used to be in California and was supplied with water by the Chino river, but the Mexicans dam med that stream and the water was tarned into the Cocopak river, which feeds the new lake gna aves little else Within the boundaries of the new lake there has been for several years what the Indians believed to he a vol- cano. Smoke was almost constantly rising from the ground, but there had been no other sign of an eruption The water of the lake now covers the volcano to a depth of from five to ten feet. Ever since the water has been there there has boen trouble and it is getting worse every day. The In dians have moved from that neigh borbood and the whites in the settle ment twenty miles north ave thinking of moving. The lake is about four teen miles long, but not of great width. At first the disturbance was confined to that part of the water in the vicinity of the voleano, but now the water is boiling over a considerable part of its area and explosions are growing more and more frequent. People living in the neighborhood of Texico are often awakenea by them in the night time. Eruptions are going on all the time but they are generally of sufficient force only to throw up the water to tho height of ga few feet That makes no noise that can be heard at any great distance. But oceasion ally the eruption breaks through the water and shoots mud into the air at a height of forty fect. Whenever this happens the noise can be heard and a flame can be seen for miles. Jt was such demonstrations as these that frightened the Indians away. There are boats on the lake and parties have started out to the voléano, but they have always turned back with out completing the investigation. One party which came back reported see ing jan area of mud forty feet square thrown fifty feet into the air, The level of this lake ix several feet below sea level.
