STANLEY AFBICASUS. tAW-r- pirate letter from the Explorer -- An African Villas®--The Explorer's Hat ftii Outfit -- What BUM Been Accom­ plished* From a priY*te letter dated Knapebyf, Lake Vic torla Nlyaiiza, Hay 10, 1875, and published in the Boeton Journal.] Knapehyi is a straggling village of oone huts, twenty or thirty in number, which are built somewhat in the form of a circle, hedged round by a fenae of thorn twisted between upright stakes. . Sketch such a village in your imagina­ tion, and let the center of it be dotted here and there with the forms of Kid- lings who prank it with the vivacity of Kidlings under a hot, glowing sun. Let a couple of wurriors and a few round- bellied children be seen among them, and near a tall hut, which is the chief's, plant a taller tree, under whose shade sit a few elders in council with their chief, So much for the village. 1 am sure you will know it if you come this way. Now outside the village, yet touching the fence, begin to draw the form of a square camp, about fifty yards square, each side flanked with low, square hats, under the eaves of which place as many figures of men as you please--for we have many -- and you have the camp of the Anglo-American expedition commanded by your friend and bumble servant. From the center of the camp you may see the Lake Vic­ toria, or that portion of it I have called Speke Gulf, and twenty-five miles dis­ tant you may see table-topped Magita, the large island of Ukerave, and toward the northwest a clear horizon, with nothing between water and sky to mar its level. The surface of the lake, which approaches to within 100 yards of the camp, is much rufSed just at present with a northwest breeze, and though ihe sun is glowing hot, under the shade it is agreeable enough, so that nobody perspires or is troubled with the heat. You must understand that there is a vast difference between New York and Cen­ tral African heat. Yours is a sweltering heat, begetting languor and thirst; ours is a dry heat, permitting activity and action, without thirst or perspiration. If we exposed ourselves to the sun we would.feel quite as though we were be­ ing baked. Gome with me to my lodgings now. I lodge in a hut but little inferior in size to the chiefs. In it is stored the lug­ gage of the expedition, which fills one- half. It is sfbout six tons in weight, and consists of cloth, beads, wire, shells, ammunition, powder barrels, portman­ teaus, iron trunks, photographic appa­ ratus, scientific instruments, pontoons, sections of boat, etc. The other half of the hut is my sleeping, dining and hall room. It is dark as pitch within, for light cannot penetrate the mud with which the woodwork is liberally daubed. The floor is of dried mud thickly cov­ ered with dust, which breeds fleas and other vermin, to be a plague to me and to my poor dogs, I have four youthful Mercuries, of ebon color, attending me, who on the march carry my personal weapons of offense. I do not need so many servants to wait on me, but such is their pleasure. They find their reward in the liberal leavings of the table. Did they not minister to me they know they would have to subsist on their rations, and black youths have such capacity of distension in their stomachs that would shame the veriest glutton in Europe. If ,1 have a goat killed for the European mess, half of it suffices for two days for us. When it becomes slightly tainted my Mercuries will beg it and devour it ,at" a single sitting. Just outside the door of my hut are about two dozen of my men, squatted in a circle and string­ ing beads. A necklace of beads is each man's daily sum wherewith to buy food. I have now a little over 160 men. Im­ agine 160 necklaces given for food each defy for the last three months; in the aggregate the sum amounts to 14,400 necklaces ; in a year it will amount to Jjj8,100 necklaces. A necklace of ordi­ nary beads is cheap enough in the States, but ihe expense of carriage makes a necklace here equal to about 25 cents in value. For a necklace I can buy a chicken or a peck of sweet potatoes,* or half a peck of grain. I left the coast with about 40,000 yards of cloth, which, in the States, would be worth 12$ cents per yard, or altogether about $5,000 ; the expense of porterage as far as this lake makes each yaiu worth about 50 cents. Two yards of cloth will purchase a goat or a sheep, thirty yards will pur­ chase an ox, fifteen yards is enough to purchase a day's rations for the entire caravan. "These are a few of the particulars of our more domestic affairs. The expedi­ tion is now divided into eight squads of twenty men each, with an experienced man over each squad. They are all armed with Snyder's and percussion-lock muskets. A dozen or so of the most faithful have a brace of revolvers in ad­ dition to their other arms. We have had four battles since we left the coast. The first occurred in I turn with a desperate set of savages, rivaling the Apaches in ferocity and de­ termination. The battle lasted three days. I lost twenty-one men killed. Their loss was thirty-five killed and some Jiundred or so wounded. Twice we made a clean sweep through their country, burning and destroying everything we came across, and would have liked to Exterminate the wretches had not my mission required my duty in another direction. On water we were as successful as on land; but, as God is my judge, I would prefer paying tribute and maSiug these savages friends rather than enemies. But some of these people are cursed with such delirious ferocity that we are com­ pelled to defend ourselves. They attack in such numbers and so sudden that our repeating rifles and Snyders have to be handled with such nervous rapidity as will force them back before we are forced to death; for if we allow them to come within forty yards their spears are as fatal as bullets. Just think, I had shoved off, which was done so rapidly that with the impetus they had given it they were themselves carried into deep Water, and only myself in the boat. 1 had to keep the beach clear of the ras- cal&; and I emptied my elephant rifle, double-barreled shot-gun and revolvers at them, while the men swam with the boat off shore in a water infested with crocv >diles. None of us, thank fortune, were injured, but each of us had some narrow escape to relate from whizzing speais and arrows. Since I left Zanzibar I have traveled 730 miles by land, and 1,004 miles (by computation) by water. This, in six months, is good work. Over 100 posi- tions*settled by astronomical observa­ tions--for you must know that from the very day I got my commission I strenu­ ously prepared to fit myself for geo­ graphical work, in order that I might be able to complete Speke, Burton, Baker and Livingstone's labors, which they left undone. Now Speke's work is done. What he commenced I have finished. I do not know whether you comprehend the drift of this expedition, but I will explain. You must know that Speke, i*i 1858, came to the southwest end of Lake Vic­ toria, and from a hill near the lake he discovered the vast body of fresh water. Having gazed his fill he returned to England, and was commissioned to find its outlet. In 1861 and 1862 he marched from Zanzibar to Ugawa, where he saw the lake again. At the Ripon Fails he saw the lake discharge itself into the Victoria Nile, and went home again, im­ agining that he had done his work. If his work was merely to find the outlet of Lake Victoria, he completed his task ; but if his task was to discover the sources of the Nile, he had but begun his work. He went away without dis­ covering the feeders of Lake Victoria, which in reality are the Nile's sources-- extreme southern sources, I mean. Then Baker came to Central Africa and dis­ covered Lake Albert. He voyaged sixty miles on the lake, and he ran home also without knowing anything of the lake's sources. Burton went to Tanganyika, saw it, and returned home without knowing its extent, outlet or affluents. Livingstone came next to the chain of lakes west of Tanganyika, and died no­ bly in harness. Well, we are sent to complete what these several travelers have begun. While they are content with having discovered lakes, I must be content with exploring these lakes and discovering their sources, and unravel­ ing 1he complications of geographers at home. It is a mighty work, but a fourth of that work is already done. Until I can say I have done the half, I bid you jl). THE WAR IS THE EAST. farewel HENRY M. STANLEY. Beating the Barbers. A man who nad been nearly talked to death by loquacious barbers went into a shop the other day and handed one of the artists a card bearing the words: "Give me an easy shave," The barber motioned him to a chair, and then turning around winked at his fellow-laborers and said: '4 Here's a deaf and dumb 'un, boys, iga&ts an easy shave." " Well, if you gash him he can't talk," replied one who was waiting for "next." "No, you bet he can't," returned the first. " An easy shave be blowea! Why, he's got bristles like a Texas boar, and his skin looks tougher than a canal mule's. ' The boys laughed, and the operator, who in the mean time had lathered the man's face, indulged in further comments as he urged the razor over the facial ter­ ritory before him. " What a nose that is," said he. "If he should sneeze, where would I be?" "Well, his cheek is harder than a razor hone." " Do you want us to help hold his nose while you go over his hps, Johnny?" asked another of the idle razor wielders. " Don't know but what I will want a little help." "Be careful don't drop your razor aown his ear or you'll lose it," admonished an­ other. 4'What a dirty head he's got," observed Johnny, as he ran his fingers through the man's hair. " I say, some of you fellows write a card and ask him if .he don't want a shampoo." The card was written and presented to the man, who shook his head at it, and, the job being finished, he arose from the chair. "It's all nght, boys,"said he, as he laid down 15 cents. "I don't mind your talk any, I could stand it firbfc rate so long as you didn't say anything about base ball, third term, or the whisky ring frauds." He disappeared, and those barbers sat down and thought about him. --Providence Journal. twenty-one men killed in one day and but one wounded! The spear makes a frightful wound, while their contempt­ ible-looking arrows are deadly weapons. I have, for the sake of experiment, sent ail arrow almost clean througli a bullock at twenty yards, and the arrow-head is so barbed and gashed that if a man is wounded a large piece of tortured flesh must be cut out ere it is extracted. We had a narrow escape lately. We were but twelve in our boat's crew, the sav­ ages several hundreds. As they came down to attack I ordered the boat to be, Electricity as a Motive Power. Daniel M. Cook,,of Mansfield, Ohio, proposes to prove that electricity can be generated in quantities sufficient to take the place of all other'methods of utiliz­ ing motive power at a merely nominal cost; and not only that, but that it can be used in lighting cities and dwellings, and for purposes of supplying heat. He refuses to divulge the means employed to generate the electric fluid. Mr. Cook estimates that he can furnish the elec­ tricity required to maintain one thousand telegraph ptations fifty years for $100,- 000, and leave a handsome margin for profits out of this sum. And not only all this, but he expresses a belief that he will be enabled to navigate space by means of machines propelled by the same force, and in proof of this he says he lias sent chunks of iron through the roof of a building into the air out of sight, and. in his opinion, clear beyond the influence of gravitation into the ether beyond. Cause of Coughs. An Italian (according to Les Mondes) attributes cough to the presence of a parasitic fungus in the air passages. In grave cases this para­ site multiplies aud reaches into the lung cells. Quinine has the property of stop­ ping the development of microscopic fungi, and is therefore adapted as a rem­ edy in the present case. Dr. L. has used with success the following powder: Clilorhydrate of quinine, 1 part; bicar­ bonate of soda, 1 part; gum arabic, 20 parts. The bicarbonate of soda is meant to dissolve the mucus, the gum arabic to increase the adherence of the powder on the bronchial passages. The insufflation (blowing in) of the powder should take place during a deep inspiration of this patient, so as to facilitate its penetration into the windpipe, which is the princi­ pal seat of the microscopic fungus. Attitude of the European Powers--The Ob stacles to Immediate intervention, [From the New York Tribune.] Servia may rapidly succumb to the force and the newly-aroused fanaticism of the Turkish armies, or she may suc­ ceed in prolonging her resistance until help comes from other quarters; but the straggle is no longer localized, as it seemed to be. It disturbs every Cab­ inet of Europe at this moment. It may be well, therefore, to glance briefly _ at the real interest which the question presents to each of the Great Powers, and which must always be borne in mind, whatever may be the policy tem­ porarily avowed. Russia, in the first place, has never been able to conceal her enmity to Turkey, or her ambition to possess Con­ stantinople. v Her great allies are her National church, which is that of the East, and the kindred Slavic blood of millions of Turkish subjects. She is not so impatient as to force her oppor­ tunity, because the best chances are al­ ready in her hands. Just now, she would prefer peace to war, if she could increase, or even preserve, her prestige by peace. Her seeming indifference to mediation may be chiefly designed to force England to take the first step, which, after the attitude of the latter power toward the Berlin Conference, would be a fine diplomatic revenge. Germany has little or no direct ma­ terial interest in the question. She would probably iavor the policy of Russia, were she sure that the ambition of the latter is turned solely toward Asia, and that she were not thereby giving strength to some later combination against her­ self. She knows that France is still co­ quetting with Russia ; that the Czaro- vitch is intensely anti-German in his sympathies ; and furtaer, that Russia is regarded with suspicion or dread by half her own population. The aggrandize­ ment of Austria at the expense of Turkey would hardly be opposed by the German empire ; for the reason that any event which tends to give a Magyaro-Slavic character to Austria as a nation sepa­ rates her the more from her German provinces, and increases the chances of their final attachment to the empire, Germany's course, therefore, is dictated by the necessity of guarding herself against future dangers which may come through a combination of France with Russia or other powers. Italy considers the Eastern question mainly with regard to Austria. She does not wish to see a strong rival occupying the opposite shore of the Adriatio--not, as now, holding the narrow line of coast, but possessing all the western provinces of Turkey. Singularly enough, the Pope and the Italian Government are in accord ; for the former is said to regard the triumph of the Oriental "schis­ matics " (as they are terms in the Vati­ can) as being worse than the continu­ ance of Moslem rule. But Italy is not, as yet, an important political factor; and she will undoubtedly acoept any de vice which may temporarily restore peace. England and France ooeupy relatively the same position as when they united to save Turkey, in 1854. But they are now confronted by a very different crisis. France has a new and powerful interest to consult--that of revenging herself upon Germany--and this changes her attitude toward Rus­ sia. Therefore, although she and England anight succeed in agree­ ing upen an Eastern policy, so far as regards Turkey and its popula­ tion, a wider complication of interests would probably separate them. In England, moreover, the popular sympa­ thy for Turkey, artificially kept alive so long, is at an end. There must be--and will be--a relinquishment of that cold­ blooded diplomacy which overlooked the late horrible barbarities in Bulgaria. The necessity of intervention is not only so strong, but also so earnestly felt by the people of England and the Conti­ nental nations, that we cannot doubt it will be speedily forced upon Europe. Turkey may still offer to accept this, or refuse that--she will have no alternative but to take what is presented. The dif­ ficulty lies not so much in forming a sat­ isfactory plan of pacification as in uniting upon , the necessary guarantees for its eiiforcoiiiciii. If Tiu-kvy iu un­ able to control the .fierce prejudices of her population, Europe must undertake the task for her. This, we suspect, is the stumbling-bloak in the way of imme­ diate intervention. fore the dishonest agent could be re­ moved, but it was finally accomplished. While I was up there in the Wind river country the chief, Washakie, came to me one day and said some white men were coming upon hia land, selling whisky, and demoralizing his people. I examined the treaty and found by its erms that white men were not allowed to settle upon or even travel across the reservation without permission from the Government. There were then forty-six white men upon the reservation who had no business there, and I at once issued an order giving them fifteen days in which to leave. One band of despera­ does on the North Fork of the Popoagie defied me, and I sent Maj. Gordon with his cavalry to drive them off the reser­ vation, and told him if they resisted to cut them to pieces. A few days after­ ward 1 was relieved of command of the Wind river district, though I was as­ sured my b ing relieved had nothing to de with mj enforcement of the treaty. I do not know that 1 am right in sup­ posing so. but I have always believed if I had not issued the order expelling the white thieves from the reservation I would have been left there. England and Her Monkey. Some diplomates in Paris were talk­ ing about the Oriental question, and one of them expressed a wonder as to what England would do eventually in regard to Turkey. The Persian Ambassador said: " England will do as the monkey did." The Persian told how a learned man of the good old times, wishing to test the power of maternal affection in a she-monkey, took one, with a young monkey, and put both in a high, large tin box, which box was placed over tEe fire, where it gradually heated. When the box began to be hot the poor monkey seized the little monkey in her arms and jumped and danced about on the hot floor of the box. At last the floor was so hot that all her leaping was of no use. Then what did mother monkey do ? She took her baby monkey, put it down upon the floor and stood on it! The poor little fellow roasted, but her feet no longer burned. Up to the present England has shown a mother's heart toward Turkey; but when the fire becomes intolerable sho will cook her young monkey."--Rome Letter.

It is a sad commentary upon onr boasted «IT- ilization that the womeu of our times have de­ generated in health and phynique until they ar® literally a race of invalids--pale,> nervous, feeble, and back-achy, with only here and there a few noble exceptions in the persons of the' robust, buxom ladies characteristic of the sex In days gone by. By a rery large experience, covering a period of years, and embracing the treatment of many thousands of eases of those ailments peculiar to Women, Dr. Pierce, of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., has per­ fected, by the combination of certain vegetable extracts, a natural specific, which he does not extol as a cure-all, but one which admirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a moat positive and reliable remedy for those weak­ nesses and complaints that afflict the women of the present day. This natural specific com­ pound is called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip­ tion. The following are among those diseases in which this wonderful medicine has worked cores as if by magic and with a certainty never before attained by auv medicines: Weak back, nervous and general debility, falling and other displacements of internal organs, resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fever, congestion, inflam­ mation and ulceration, and very many other chronic diseases incident to women, not proper to mention here, in which, as well as in the cases that have beeu enumerated, the Favorite Prescription effects cure* --the marvel of the world. It will not do harm in any state or con­ dition of the system, and by adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that severest of or­ deals--the consulting of a family physician.

Being interviewed by a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, (Jen. Brisbin, commanding the Second cavalry, thus answers the question--"Whatmakes the Indians so bad ?" Utter cussedness, pure and simple. It is born and bred in them, and the natu­ ral instinct of the savage to steal and murder is encouraged by the Govern­ ment. It sends out men who are to act as agents of the Indians and carry out treaty stipulations, but most of these men spend their time in defrauding, demoralizing, and abusing the Indians in every conceivable manner. I do not believe one-half, possibly not more than one-fourth, of the supplies annually voted by Congress ever reach the In­ dians. r * The abuses • that f<re: perpetrated by these agents are perfectly shameful, and still it goes on from year to year, and there appears to be no relief from .these public thieves. Why, if I were an In­ dian I would whet my tomahawk and and sink it into the brain of the first white man I m«jt. If one has to choose whether he will die by starvation or fall fighting, he had better fight for his rights like a man than starve like a dog. Personally, I know of but one really honest agent, Dr. James Irwin, for the Shoshones and Bannocks. Many years ago I was in command of the Wind river district, and these Indians had a fine reservation, ninety by eighty miles. On one occasion they rendered signal service to the Government and settlers by helping the troops to drive out the hostile Sioux, and I resolved that as long as I lived they should never need a friend to redress their wrongs. They had a dishonest agent, and I wrote to Washington and urged his removal. Afterward, when in Wash­ ington, a certain Senator pitched into me, saying the agent was his friend. 1 told the Senator that his friend was a scoundrel and a thief, and he ought not to sustain him. It was a long time be- WNIHOPR'S Aim-PERIODIC OR FEVER AND AGUE TONIC.--This invaluable and stand­ ard family medicine its now a household word, and maintains its reputation unimpaired.
