The experiment of running vessels of the size and type of the Paris and New York is oocasioning a great ' deal of interest in maritime circles.

It costs more to run the Paris and her consort than any other two racers on the Atlantic, and journeys be made on the Upper ( 'Jngo. which gained for him the name of “hiaynla hibern- ba,” or “Eagle’s Wing.“ 3dr. Vince, the head master of the school inLondon,iu introducing Mr. Ward, spoke of his visits to Borneo and other untraveled regions, and of‘ the afi'eczion he had shown for his old school in giving them the only lecture that he would deliver during his stay in England. Mr. Ward, in the course of his lecture. explained that he first went to Africa in 1884, when, after returning from Borneo, where he had spent some years in the interior among the head-hunting Dyaks. he entered the service of his Majesty, the King of the Belgians. The first year and a half he spent in traveling among the TRIBES OF THE LOWER CONGO. He applied himself to looming their language and to obtaining as much information as possible about their customs and supersti- tions. They proved to be most ignorant and most superstitious. They lived in small villages scattered about the country, and in no single instance was a ruler to be found with more than a few hundred subjects. The greatest obstacle to progress and en- lightenment in this portion of Africa was a functionarv'. known to the natives as the “Nganga Nkissi,” or charm doctor. After spending some eighteen months in becoming acquainted with the language and manners of the people in this way, he was, in 1886, transferred to the command of the station at Baugaia. It was here that Stanley had had his most severe fight on his great journey across the continent, and it was in March, 1837. when proceeding down country from Bangala, in order to embark for Europe, his term of service having ex- pired, that he met Stanley. He had broken camp one morning early‘and was marching rapidly along. when in the distance, coming over the brow of a bill, he saw a tall Sou- danese warrior bearing Mr. Gordon Bennett's yacht flag. Behind the soldier and astrido a magnificent mule, whose sliver-plated trappings shone and sparkled in the bright morning sun, came the great explorer, attir- ed in his famous African costume. Following immediately in his rear were his personal servants, Somalis with their braided waistcoats and white robes. Then came anzibaris with their blankets, water bottles, ammunition belts, and guns; stal- wart Sundanese soldiery with great hooded ooats,their rifles on their backs,and innumer- able straps and leather belts around their bodies ; Wagawull porters bearing boxes of ammunition, to which were fastened axes, shovels, and hose lines, as well as theirlittle bundles of clothing, which were invariably rolled up iuoldthreadbare blankets. Stanley, whose name in Africa is Bola Matadiâ€"the stone breaker-saluted him cordially and dismounted. "Take a seat," said he, point ing to the bare ground. They squatted down and Stanley, produc- ing a silver cigar case, given him, be said by the Prince of Wales the night before he left England, they both smoked the ol- gar of peace. He had already rendered Stanley a timely service by obtaining some $00 seniors to transport his baggage, and be now ofi'cred himself as A VOLUNTEER 1N Till EXPRDITION. Ssanley made little difficulty, and in a char- acteristic way not him at once to work, srranginga meeting at Stanley Pool later. Passing along the procession, he became further acquainted with the constitution of Stanley's great oavolcade. At one point the whale boat was being carried in sections, suspended from poles, which were each borne by four men. Donkeys heavily laden ' with sacks of rice were next met with, and alittlo further back wore the women of Tippoo Tib's harem. their faces concealed and their bodies draped in gaudily-Mlcred mass of trunk and foliage. Eventually he reached the coast and dispatched the cable- gram and then started on his return journey. He had got as far as Bangaia, where he was detained for some little time, when the news of the assassination of Maj or Baritclot at Bonalya reached him, that place being distant from him 700 miles. While on this point he wished to say a word or two in favor of Tippoo Tib. Tippoo Tib was not in the least responsible for this assassination. It was true that it had been represented that he had DELAYED T'Il'l'. SUPPLY OF MEN sufiicisnt to make up Major Barttelot's cou- tingeut, and this had been regarded as a reason for blaming him for the foul play that occurred later on. As a matter of fact Tippoo Tib's action had been to a certain extent prompted by a benevolent intention, inas- much as, knowing the lawless character of the Manyemas, be appreciated the difliculty which white men Would have in controlling them, and by his efforts sought to prevent an opportunity for the mutiny which, unfor- tunately, subsequently resulted in Major Barttelot's assassination. It was at Bangala that the most pathetic incident in connection with the lecturer’s varied African experience happened, for it was here that poor J ameiaon passed to his rest in his arms. Mr. Ward then went on to say that, after J smeisou's death and the assassination of Maj or Barttelet, there was nothing left for him to do but to proceed again to the coast and to cable home the melancholy details. The reply cable was to the effect that he was to take command of everything in Stanley’s absence, and he accordingly made his way back to Stanley Falls. On the journey upward he learned that Stanley, by a strange coincidence, had returned there on the very day of poor J ameisou's death at Bengals, 700 miles away. Stanley had taken everything on from Bmgaia in his march to seek Emin Pasha, and so be (Mr. Ward) had nothing left but to act on his own responsibility and to bring the sick man back with him to the coast. When he arrived there instructions were cabled to him to bring them home, and accordingly he reached England again on the 1st of July with the remaining survivors of the illfated Barttelct camp. 7-â€" Oslling a Bolep in the Morning. If you want your boy to get up at eight o’clock you will be obliged to commence oper. sting on him by six. A boy never begins to sleep in earnest until it is time to get up. Over night, you must tell him that it is absolutely essential to life, libert , andthe pursuit of happiness, that he s ould gel: up by eight o’clock, and make him under. stand that his honor is at stake. Then set the alarm clock right by his head, and wind it clear up, so that when it goes off at seven, next morning, the whole neighborhood will hear it, and think shore is a fire somewhere. In the morning, after you have cleared your throat, you can begin to call your boy. The earlier you start out at it the more vocal exercise you will get. When you have yelled up the stairway all you feel that you can, go up stairs, and fire away at him from the hall. Then, cheered and mspired to fresh efi‘orts by his resounding snore, open his chamber door and shake him, and poke him up, as the keeper does the ani- mals at the menagerie. If you wsrk wish a will, and your hands are moderately cold, you will probably, at the end of half an hour's hard work, elicit the sleepy inquiry: “What's wanted 1 Who’sâ€"aâ€"wanting me â€"â€"toâ€"to get up this time of hi ht.

Behind him. at a respectful distance, followed several Arab ohciks, whose bearing was quiet and dignified. He passed along the line of 700 men, which embraced, in addition to nationalities already named, Assyrians, Malena”. and others, each wearing the distinguishing garb of his own country, Having rejoined Stanley Pool they embark- edto ther on the lst of May on a small lauuc , be (Mr. Ward) being then in command of No. lCompany of Zanzibaris.

There are some very curious facts about boys who cannot wake up in the morningâ€" facts which go to show that science has not yet succeeded in explaining everything. This same boy of whom we have been writting, will get up on the morning of July 45h at one o'clock, and nobody to call him i Itisjust asoasy for him asslidiug down bill. He will get u to go fishing with Bill Jones at an hour may name. He is always up season to see his big sister's beau take his departure on Monday morning about cock-crow.

He is an early riser when he so wills it, but on other occasions you might aswell try to wake up the sentinel on the Soldier's Monument on our village common. And his me or will excuse him, and tell girls, that poor Willie works so hard at school,and growsse fast. that he needs all thesleephe canget, and it seems tobs a the family.

So, therefore, him; “Wiles\. we say to men joined the launched amp get up the firsttlmeyou are called." ago with the Z .linski gun proved, the effect of its fire is very different. One of its pro- jectiles was dropped on the deck of a vessel and the explosion that ensued was suffi clear. to totally wreck the whole struct. ure. Nor were even the misses harmless. So great a column of water was raised by the explosion sate do a great deal of damage in its descent on the object of attack. If, then, the forts at the entrance of the Thames were armed with the dynamite gun it would be impossible for-auy hostile squadron to force the passage. The batteries could not be destroyed by ships out at sea, as they would be protected by the turns of the river, and whenever they were attacked from u u .x quarters they would be able to reply with far greater power than that possessed by their assailants. In fact the leinski gun makes it possible to fire torpedoes through the air, and with the accuracy of rockets. if, then, the cff:ct of the new discovery be such as we have described it, the problem HOW TO DEFEND OUR COAST from attack will be immensely simplified. Floating batteries which can be towed to the most convenient points in a harbor or at a river’s mouth would soon put places like L‘verpool and Newcastle-on-Tyne out of all danger of being raided. A hostile cruiser obliged to keep two miles out to sea, though it might set fire to a few public buildings, would not be a very formidable enemy. It can, however hardly be supposed that the invention will stop where it is. Everything seems to point to the fact that we shall soon discard ordinary gunpowder for the filling of projectiles. Up till now there has been a difficulty in discharging dynamite and similar compositions form an ordinary cannon, and therefore pneumatic guns, which are comparatively safe, have had to be adopted, in spite of the short distance over which they will throw a shell. Methods of getting over this are, however, being diligen- ly sought for, and we may be certain tha t before long either the pueumatic guns will be improved, or, what is more probable, some means will be devised, for firing dyna- mite from ordinary artillery. _â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"I Extending Her Dominions. England has been extending her do- minions so far that she is obliged toloall in organizations of private persons to take care of her territory. The British South Africa Company is the latest of these authorized representatives of British power in remote arts of the globe. This company has now u duly empowered to develop and govern that part of South Africa which lies between the central and lower Zimbesi on the north, and the frontier of the Transvaal on the south; a territory comprising about 400,- C00 square miles, or about three times the extent of the United Kingdom, and twice the area of France. A large part of this territory is very rich in minerals, and the climate and soil are favorable to Euro an settlement. A good deal of it in table and at a considerable elevation above the sea, with a dry and invi crating climate. It is abundantly supplle with water, and the soil is said to be extremely rich. Coffee, corn, rice, sugar, and cotton are among the crops that can be raised to advantage. Over this vast domain the com ny will exercise sufficient rights, although the up proval of the Colonial Secretary will be needed in certain cases. What the country needs is stable government, means of inter- communicotion, and ease of access. These will be supplied by the new company, which will put steamers on the Zamboni and com- plete the railroad now being built from the south. The British South Africa Company is the fourth of these great companies to which the British Government has delegated a part of its power and responsibility, the others being the North Borneo Company, and the East Africa Company.â€"[Ex. _____â€"-â€".-â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€" A Bright Journalist.

American wild turkeys have been success- fully acclimatizsd in Austria on that portion of the estate of Count Brenner, which is known as the Danubiau meadow, and great flocks of them are to be seen in his forests. About the middle of the last century there was a vast flack of wild turkeys in Windsor forest, which had been introduced by Wil- liam, duke of Cumberland, from Richmond Park, where, during the reigns of Anne and George I. there were thousands of these birds. The Richmond deck was destroyed by vouchers. and that at Windsor gradually became extinct, the last-auown birds having been devoured at “ The Cottage" during tho reign of George 1V., but about that period there was also a flock at Hclkham, which Lord Leicester established. The prosecution of a medical practitioner for negiec to notify the health authori- ties of a case of diphtheria in this city .222 haves good effect. In England a severe enactment regarding infectious diseases has just gone into force. It not only requires the physician, but also the parents to give notice to the medical health cfiicer of the locality when a case occurs. A list of the infectious diseases to which the act applies is given, but local authorities are empowered to make additions to the list at their dis- cretion. Those named are smallpox, cholera, diphtheria, membranous croup. erysipelas, and the following fevers: scarlet, typhus" typhoid, enteric,relopsing, continuvd and puerperal. Our local law is sufi‘nieutly stringent and should be rigidly enforced. It is reported in official circles at Ottawa that the Dominion Government have do- cided again to call for tenders for a fast line of steamers to carry the mails between Halifax and England, in view of the refusal of the An-iorsons of London to carry out their contract. Parliament last session voted an annual subsidy of $500,000 for this service for an eighteen-knot average rate of speed for a weekly line of Atlantic steamers, which will be given to any company secur- ing the contract. The understanding is that the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific shall have equal facilities in connection with any line undertaking the service. Considering the time that the mails now take to cross the Atlantic, business people will be a unit in demanding that something be done to enable us to keep pace, in this particular, with other countries. The General 'l'erm of the New I ork Sn, promo Court has declared invalid the will of the late Samuel J. Tildsn, which bequeaths a sum estimated at about $000,000 to pub- lic objects in New York, among them the establishment of a great free library. This decision is based on the indefiniteness with which the conditions of the trust were set forth in the document, which. by the way, was drawn up by Mr. James C. Carter, the present leader of the New York bar, and approved, of course, by Mr. Tilden himself. It seems odd that two such eminent members of the legal profession should have been no- able to frame a wil that could successfully run the gauntlet of the courts. It may be, however, that in those days of legal refine- ments and judicial hair-splitting it is im- possible to draw up a document which some court would not pronounce invalid. A MEMORIAL OF INVASION. Russian Brutality Recalled by a Painter‘s Recent Death. Hunichen, the deaf and dumb landscape painter, whose death from an accident is just announced from Wlutonberg, was a walking memorial of the horrors of the Russian invasion of Germany in 1813. He was born in 1812 at Birkenbush, a village about two hours' journey from Wittenberg. One day during the Russian bombardment of the town the villagers all left their homes to watch the firing from the heights, and Frau Honicbeu, with her infant, was left alone in her cottage. Suddenly there appeared at the door two brutal Cossacks, who asked for money. The young mother tremblineg told them she hadnone, whereupon they seized her and her child, hound them together, and flogged them with their kuouta until they were both insensible. On the return of the villagers they were restored to consciousness by medical aid, but, as a result of the injuries he had received, Honichen remained deaf and dumb until the end of his days. His death was, indeed, a direct consequence of the mal- treatment he had received seventy-six years ago, inasmuch as he was run over bya wagon, the approach of which he was unable to hear. Hunioheu was a very capable painter and was much patronized by the German imperial family, Mrs. Hollyhock “I don't want anybody to stick “sacred to the memory of Betsy Hollyhock" on me when I’m gone ; for I never heered anything ylt that I didn't ferglt it." â€"[Eiarpor’s Bazaar.

The Messrs. Wright, who are the New York agents for the record breakers, do not concur in this belief, and are quite willing to lose or win in the speculation. It will be the first instance of ocean racers being sent across the pond throughout the cold term, and the rival lines will await the result with interest. They are not slow in saying that, aside from the promising reward, there will be great danger and possible disaster h navigating such speedy craft in wild seas and tempestuous weather such as theAtlantio is noted for during the winter. The Aurauia, of the Cunard line, will be dropped from the list in the first part of J annary. The Gallia will take her place. The Etruxia will tie up during February, the Bothnia using her sailing days. The Servia will be hauled off the latter part of February and the Umbria in March. 'Ilese four vessels are the CREAM OF THE CUNARD FLEET. and each will undergo a five weeks‘ over- hauling in the Liverpool docks. It is expected that the Etrnria is to have her com- pound engines replaced with others of the triple expansion type, but the agents on this side deny any knowledge of the truth of the report. They insist that the Etrnria can hold her own with her p t .. esfi machinery, and they do not see the use they say, for a change. La Champagne the French line will be docked at Havm during December for a general overhauling and La Normandie Lwill take her place. That big white elephant, the city of Rome, has already gone into winter quarters on the other side, and she will not be returned to the Anchor Line service until the spring. 0f the Nerddeutschor boats the Elbe has been docked for the winter, the Elder has undergone some repairs at Bremen, and the rents will be tied up about the hull- nys. . Brave Missouri Women. ‘ In Blue Springs, Missouri, where the is. us against the liquor traffic are of the strictest, one John Haley opened a "quiet club-room" for the sale of the forbidden beverages. One Saturday night twenty‘five women, described as “the leading matrons of the town," and belongin to a local Tem- perance organization, mas ed and armed with cudgeis, attacked the club room. They broke in the doors and drove the drinkers into the street. Haley resisted, but was struck on thohead with clubs and chased down the street by four women. and whisky barrels were broken and the contents poured into the street. This pro- ceeding was observed with sorrow by one of the ejected gentleman, who plaintiver rs- minded the ladies of the nose of the liquor, and of its suitability to the wants of poor sick people, of whom he was not the least. He also was chased and beaten with clubs.
