THE HEIR TO A GREAT ESTATE,
A neaeleadent ec a Noble Fondle ti roverte

The heirees to a. fine estate of a no-
ble fenilly of Saxony, Germany, with
several millions of dollars, has been found
in a gerret ha the city of Detroit, Mich., on
the verge of starvation. Proceedings to
identify her ass a direct heir have been be-
gun by a Detroit lawyer who has been search,
nag for her for monthe in behalf of the old
folks at home. The Von Stella -eau fueuily
tie one of the oldest and. nicest illustrioue of
Saxeny, Their fine estate, desceuded from
generation to generation, is situated on the
bordera of Dresdext, the Capital of the pro-
vince. Years ago the tioble Count von
Steinman'A' mau of traclitioual iron will,
had an oaly son.
The son waa sent to Berlin to be educated.
While thews, and about the close of Ms eol-
legiate year, he fell a victini to the Owens
de -very pretty but poor shopkeeper's daugh-
ter. They were married secretly and Ife re -
Paired, feerful of the result, to bit Saxon
home te ask forgiveness, The Count von
_Steinman was enraged. He hadfoced upon
a noble wife for his on, It was the same
old story. The son received a curse and
was disinherited. He returned to Berlin,
emigrated with his lovely but lowly wife
to America, and located in Milwaukee,
Wis. There he prospered and died twelve
or fourteen years ago worth $300,000. His
will made his noble mother, for whom he
always felt the tenderest regard, the execut-
rix of his estate, which was bequeathed
to his only daughter, then a beautiful little
dark-haired, black-eyed girl of 11, The re.
suit a the widow's correspondence with the
Countess von Steinman upon the death of her
sou was that the daughter left Milwaukee to
make her home with her grandmother in the
castle on the banks of the Elbe. The old
Count had died. She was royally received
and entertained befittine her rank, The
American girl soon tired of the conventional
and ceremonious life of the nobility and be-
fore three years passed. by fled to the sea-
coast one night and took passage for Amer-
ica. Mother and daughter were united in
Milwaukee. Her description of their meet-
ing was affecting in the extreme. Enough
had been retained from the father's fortune
to support them comfortably. The girl soon
became surrounded with visitors. Her
mother insisted on her marrying a German.
She loved a young Milwaukee painter, and
the heiress of vast Saxon estates, the lovely
daughter of the humble widow, became Mrs.
August Bartsh: Bartsh's merits seems to
have existed chiefly in his good looks and
pure blood. The mother died, the remainder
of the small fortune was exhausted in idle-
ness, and Bartsh lived afterwards on his
wife's laber over the washtub for their daily
bread. Once she virote to the Countess, her
grandmother, who now lives alone in the
castle on the .Elbe, for aid. Twenty-five
dollars was returned, but since then the
aged Countess has remained silent. She was
greatly enraged at her grandchild's flight.
Christina followed her indigent husband
to Detroit. Here he has worked some at
his trade. The bloom has faded from her
cheeks and the light has left her eye. They
have lately been forced to sell their furni-
ture to supply the necessaries of life and to
move into a veritable garret at No. 517 Mc-
Dougall avenue, one of the poorest sections
of the city. There, in response to a call, a
city physician found them to -day, sitting
with a board across their laps for a teble
eating bread and cheese. Another heir of the
house of Von Steinman will be born. Efforts
will be made to effect a econciliation be-
tween Mrs. Bartsh and the aged Countess,
who lost trace of them when they left Mil-
waukee,

Asia, Gordoe foetid Emin Effeodi not
wily an eiceelleet SurgeoloGeneral, but a
valuable diploraate, to whom he intrueted
several important missions. At Ueyoro,
for example, whither lie had gone without
escort, Dr. Ernie secured the frieuciship of
King Karabega ; and it was this king, we
may add, theigeye supplies to Emin in his
recent etraite, as related by the brave
Russian explorer De. junker, who made his
way through Wadelai to Zanzibar, and
thus brought the news that has aroused the
world to sympathy for Emin, as formerly
for leivinigston and for Gordon, and that has
now sent HenryM, Stanley to the rescue.
Gordon,lie,v. been promoted to be
Governor-General. of all Soudan, made Emin
in 187 SeGovernor of the Equatorial Provinces
which after Gordon's departure had lapsed
into disorder and discontent. Thider the
vigorouti administration of Entin, who was
reused to the rank of Bey, peace was re-es-
tablished through his vast command, the
destroyed stetions rebuilt, and the slave- I
traders eecroaohing from the surrounding
regions expelled; and whereas in 1878 he
had found a deficit in these provinces of
oparly $200,000 a year, by 1881 he had a
surplus of $40,000 in the Treasury.
This change was not ancomplished by ex- I
eessive taxes, but by economy and executive
skill. These African provinces, inhabited by ,
several millions,of people varying in customs, I
dialects, and traits—some gentle and tract-
able, and others fierce cannibals—are
di-
vided into 'districts, in each of which is a
military station, 'usually surrounded by
groups of native villages. Broad, straight )
streets are laid out at the station, earth- I
works. built around it, and guards mounted
on the parapet. Military disciplme is kept
up in all its details and besides his few
Egyptian soldiers Edin has for each station
largeO force of natives. These, at least be-
fore is late disasters, were well uniformed,
and often armed with Remington rifles.
Others go almost naked, and are provided
with double.barrelled guns. These troops,
fortunately for Emin in his present troubles,
require only a little grain for food, and do
nob grumble if their pay is in arrears. They
are courageous, obedient, and trustworthy.
Dragomans in each large village keep order
and insure the payment of the taxes of grain,
cattle, and ivory, which are resold to the
traders to sopport the government. •
Such are the provinces and the people that
have occupied the life of Emin Bey, or
rather Emin Pasha, since to this rank he
has lately been raised. He is a tall, spare
man, erect, with a resolute face, partly
covered by a carefully trimmed black beard I
and mustache. He has secured the devotion
of the natives by unremitting efforts for
their good. A part of the day is habitually
devoted by him to hospital work. He has
Millt good roads for the people, has had
them instructed in making cloth, shoes, and
wagons, and in training oxen to the yoke,
and according to his friend, Dr. Fellein,
who formed his acquaintance in Africa, and
has since mado known many interesting de-
tails of his life, it was Emile who introduced
there the cultivation of cotton, coffee, rice,
indigo, and wheat. Knowing that his people
rely on him, and that to abandon his post is
to let barbarism, war, and the slave -trade
sweep over and engulf again the districts I
he has made peaceful and prosperous, he has '
refused hitherto, as Gordon at Khartoom
refused, that personal escape which has pro-
bably always been possible to him, as it was
to his companion Dr. Junkes.
In the spring of 1882 Emin Bey went
down the Nile to Khartoorn, to consult in
regard to the Mahdi, who had begun his
and two children. At this time he was a portentous career of conquest the previous
slight slip of a fellow and did not weigh over year. Gerdon had already thrown up his
120 pounds. He became and was confined commend, disgusted with the lack of effi-

j "Always, George."

were gone. One night, when there wa.s
scarcely a penny in the house, the physician
came to see him, and after examining him
said: John Roach, you should know the
truth. You must die. Your lungs are
hopelessly affected. I tell you this so that
if you can make any provision for your wife
and children you will yet have time.'
Roach was ip despair. He saw absolutely
no hope for him in the future. He did not
fear death, but the thought of leaving his
wife and children to a destitute, poverty-
stricken life pierced him to the heart. He
prayed all night that he might live. In the
night a vision came to him. It seemed as
if he were looking directly into heaven, and
from that abode of happiness came a prom-
ise him that he would live. The next day
a fellow workman came to see him. The
workman was going West.
"He came to see John Roach, he thought,
for the last time. He bent over him and
kissed him good -by before he went away.
After his departure John Roach found that
he had left under his pillow his week's
wages in the very envelope given at the
works. John Roach did not die. Vi7ith the ,
modest help _of his friend he got a start. '
Thirty-three years after he was walking
down Broadway when he saw the back of a
plainly dressed man whose figure seemed
familiar to him. He was moved with some
spirit or desire to speak to this man. He
stopped him and said 'I do not kuow your
name, but I ought to know it. What ie it!'
The ma,n gave it. It was the name of the
workingman who befriended him on his
dying bed. Said Roach : 'Do you know
me?' 'No. I am John Roach,' was his
reply, the ship -builder." Yes, I have
heard of you in the newspapers, but you I
must excuse me I have in hand a very
pressing matter df busmen." Wait a mo-
ment,' said Mr. Roach. Did you ever
know another John Roach?' ' Yes, but he
died some thirty odd years ago." No, he
didn't I am that Itame John Roach,' was
the ship -builder's reply.
"The man was very much astonished, but
he again made a move to pass on, as he was
?reseed for time. But Mr. Roach made

instructed to return to his provinces and de-
fend himself the best he could. Son after

the outer world for three years. It is now
known, from letters sent by him throu h
missionaries in Ugenda to Zanzibar, that e
was gradually forced to relinpish outlying
stations, but iu the main had held out vig-
orously with his handful of Egyptians and
his negro forces against the Soudan rebels
and the cohorts of the slave -dealers, Yield-
ing ground only on compulsion, he at the
last accounts was at Wadelai, near Albert
Lake. There he had established friendlyre-
lations with Karabega, King of Unyoro ;
but when a recent report came that M'wan-
ga, the fierce and powerful Ring of Uganda,
had invaded Unyoro, and killed 10,000 of
its people, apprehension for Emin revived.
It will now be seen how many interests
combine in the plan to rescue this brave and
I accomplished man. There is first, human
sympathy. To that is added a scientific
motive, for Dr. Emin has been devoting his
leisure for years to most valuable studies of
the country and people. There is the goes -
tion of the destruction of the slave -trade,
one purpose for which, under Sir Samuel
' Baker and General Gordon, Egypt annexed
their vast domains. Finally, there is the
saving of civilization and commerce of this
fertile and promising region, although this
' consideration has practically barred the
goverinnerit aid which England desired to
lend to the Stanley relief expedition, lest
sbe should be accused of seeking only to
plant herself in these equatorial provinces
under cover of relieving Einin Pasha. Pri-
vate enterprise and Egyptian government
aid, however, have been adequate.
On February 3, 1887, Stanley, whci was
generally recognised as best fitted for the
task, started from Cairo to Zanzibar oh the
relief expedition. Four roads lay before
him—one straight through the hostile Ugan-
da, country; feeond through the Masia
country ; a third, more southerly, by the
shores of Lake Alexandra; a fourth by the
Congo. Whatever the choice, the hearty
good wishes of millions will attend the ex-
pedition of rescue.

A Stem -Winder,
Stiggins was passing a watchmaker's
establishment, and looking in the window
he noticed a very pretty girl at the counter,
"Ha I" he solilocjuised, "I'll go in and
take a look at her under some pretext or
other."
He entered, and was waited on by the
young lady's father.
"What can I do for you ?"
"1 want to get a key for my watch," he
staminered, feasting his eyes on the young
lady.
" Let me see your watch," said the watch-
maker.
As if in a dream, he took out his watch.
The watchmaker extuninecl it, and said
with surprise:
"Why your watch is a stem-winder."
He don't remember how he got out, but
he does remember that the young lady
snorted audibly.
He Wanted an 'orse.

"A sledge ?"

"John," said the clerk to the porter,"
"go to a blacksmith's shop and get °sledge-
hammer for this gentleman."
"No, my dea.h fellah, I don't want a

you know."
"0, you mean a sleigh. Why, certainly.
John, go around to the stables and get a
sleigh. Put in a couple of buffaloes."
"Buffaloes ! But, me deah fellah, I

aleer and coneise nstructions, and within
two hours was out of camp. I entered the
Federal line as a farmer, having a mule and
cart and several bushels of onions and pota-
toes to sell. Prentiss' diviiiion lay on both
sides of the Corinth highgate, and before all
my atuff was disposed of 1 had his strength

bad not even a rifle -pit an his front. Ati I
had no trouble to enter the lines I went
back up the country iota in the afternoon,
steyed over night with a farmer'and next
morning confronted the Federal picket with
another load of provisions. During this
day I covered most of McClernand's front,
which was found as devoid of breastworks
or ether defence as if war was unknown. I
was at that time only Hi years old, and as I
dressed as a gawk and used the manners and
language of one, the soldiers had a great deal
of fun at my expense. The inen had an
abundance of provisions, and there were a
dozen or more farmers hauling in stuff, and
after the first day my sales were very dull.
This didn't annoy me so much as the fact
that some of the officers began to petition
me very sherply and hints W,ere thrown out
that loyalty required me to enroll my name
in the Federal service. It was this latter
suggestion that helped me into Sherman's
lines. I replied to an officer in Prentiss'
division—he was a captain in the Tenth
Wisconsin Infantry—that I had an uncle
under Sherman and that if I could find him
I would enlist in the some company. As
soon as the officer had withdrawn a corporal
came up and wanted to know if I'd like to
see Sherman.
"G ive me a dozen onions and I'll write
you 0pass which will take you right to his
tent'
I promptly closed the bargain and he
withdrew to his tent for a few minutes and
then returned with a military pass signed,
if I remember correctly, by Gen, Peabody.
It read "Pass the bearer of this to Gen.
Sherman on important business."
Between the camp -guards and the Federal
out -posts were two or three farm houses,
and at one of these I left the mule and cart
and thus entered Sherman's camps. Some
camps had sentinels out, and others had not.
Sometimes no pass was required, and at
others the forged document was unquestion-
ed. As I moved only along the front I was
several times directed how and where to
reach the General's headquarters, but that
was the last place I wanted to go. I put in
two full days in his camps, and two more
were spent in the divisions already named.
Then, having discovered all that could be
hoped for, I was ready to go out
I returned to the farm -house for my
uncle and cart, got them without question,
although there was a military guard there,
and when I drove through the picket the
lieutenant in charge said he hoped I would
call again. I did, but it was with Johns -
ton's whole army. Outside of the questions
put to me by the officers mentioned I met
with no hindrance or anxiety, and I could
have remained in the camps longer than I
did had there been occasion for it. When
I reported to General Johnston that the
entire front of the Federals was unprotect-
ed, and that I,hacl met with no patrols out-
side of the pickets, he would not credit me
until I had described the lay of the ground
and given hint the names of various brigades
and regiments. I had in my note -book the
names of all the regiments but thresi in the
three divisions, and every battery on the
ground.
His First Canoe Ride.
Several years ago 1 and two others were
hunting in Muskoka. One morning after
a light fall of snow we got the track of a
deer; and in crossing a narrow neck of land
between two lakes, we came to an old In-
dian birch bark canoe. S. was just out
from England, end an Indian canoe was far
mire interesting than hunting deer. Mac
said, "say S., come along and leis have a
ride in her 1" " No thank you," S. replied.
"1 prefer something more substantial than
that cockle shell before I leave terra firma,
its a little too cold for a ducking." "Well,
give es 0 hand to get her into the water,"
he replied. So we launched her. Mac got
in and sat down on his marrow bones and
S. with a long pole pushed him out into the
lake clear of the bushes and fallen timber.
Mac dipped his paddle deep and low into the
water, when it became quite evident that
he was a spring chicken nethe useof it, (the
paddle, not the water). We watched and
encooreged him until he became quite dex-
terous in the management of his craft. His ,
spirits aroseavithin him and the la,ke arose'
within the boat S. hinted that she scented
to have considerably more ballast, and from
appearances Mac began to think she had
too much ballast, At any rate, he tinned
and made for shore as fast as the lake within
would let him, We ALM the boat settling
down like an old. lady at a tea.splaeli. Mac's
feet, in a wild endeavor to get into water, had
crawled through the bottom of the cameo,
and the lake, with a desire for vengeance, had
crawled through the bole into the boat. We
ran along a hemlock tree that had fallen ems,
into the lake and callecl to hint to steer to. run
werds us. But though Mao plied the paddle 'When art inteitiOcnt man, 'wants to pur
with inight.and main he found there was not tirse, buya from partt es whose stem too 1.n,
