STANLEY AB AN APRIOAN TRAVEL,
LBR,
iehat the eeresene 1icdLUonSltbtys as t „
Ells AblIttles.
The qualities that have made Henry M.-.
Stanley so euecessful as au African traveller
have been very conspicuoua in his latest un-
derts,king, with is perhaps the most difficult
enterprise helms condueted, lie has accom-
plished the feat of leading 750 men, most of
them heavily laden with amnannition and
other stores intended for Bruin paom,
through 350 miles of farnioe.atrieken court -
try. Re required five steamers to carry his
expedition to the Aruwitni, but be found
only three eteamboats available and with,
these inadequate resources he managed, by
ta.kbig a lot of bargea in tow, to transport
nearly four-fifths of his party 800 miles up
the river, arriving at the Aruwimi D, day or
two before he expected to reach tbat point.
The sufferings ot his expedition may be in-
ferred from the fact that the collapse of a
number of his men, who were unable to
proceed, was due aciely to weakness result -
0 hag from their scanty rations. When hun-
ger dreve his hundreds of carriers to the
verge of revolt, between Stanley Pole and
Bolobo, Stanley put the rebellious ring-
haders in irons, and his prompt severity
restored discipline and Saved his expedition
from the ruin that threatened it.
Stanley has not been very popular with
most of the men he has introduced on the
Congo. With rare exceptions he hao not
taken them into his confidence or mingled
• with them, on terms of personal intimacy.
One of them, who served for three years
under him in important positions wrote
that he rarely consulted his subordinates,
never confided his plans to them and that
he had lived for years with, Stanley and
still fat that he did not know the man.
" If Mr. Stanley told me," said Lieut.
Braconnier," to peek my baggage and be
ready to start in an hour, 1 would not
dream of asking him where we were going.
He would simply tell me my own duties
required all my attention." These very
men, who have not admired Stanley in his
personal relations with his subordinates
eave had great confidence in his good judg-
ment and ability as a leader and some of
them have expressed their admiration of his
1mi:idling of the expedition now in his
charge.
During the sea voyage to the Congo the
Zanzibar porters got into troub le with the
sixty Soudanese, whom they outnumbered
ten to one. There was a terrible row and the
overpowering Zanzibari raob, with clubs
and firewood, were driving the Souda,nese
down into a stifling place between decks,
when Stanley appeared on the scene with
his stick, belabored all the frantic porters
within reach, drove them back, and quieted
the tumult. One secret of his success As the
mastery Stanley has always possessed over
the hundreds of ignorant natives who have
helped him in his enterprises. More than
one African expedition, likeLieut. Giraud's
has been ruined because its commander
lacked the quality of leadership and 17,113U-
bordinate attaches got the upper hand.
On this occasion Stanley assigned the poor
Soudauese to one part of the vessel, within
which he forbade the Zanzibaris to intrude,
and thereafter there was perfect peace
among the different elements of the party.
Before the big expedition debarked on the
lower Congo to begin its land march the
party had been divided into companies of
about seventy men* each of which was put
in charge of one of Stanley's European as-
sistants. Each Captain had his distinc-
tive flag and received every morning the?
orders for the day. The chiefs of several
• of the Congo stations have expressed their
admiration of the perfect order and system
with which every movement of the party
was conducted. Officers at Leopoldville
have said that when a steamer is about to
eave that port one would think a huge
Atlantic liner was taking her departure.
Stanley's command, however, ine Weal isa
detachments to the waiting flee, took the
oes:tions assigned them in the most ,per -
e order, and were oh their way up the
iver before half of Leopoldville knew they
had broken camp. "The departure of the
teamers," writes a member of the Sanford
expedition, "was quite a sight. Every-
thing went with the smooth exactitude of
a machine, and not a hitch of any kind oc-
urred."
The surprise to which Stanley treated
Leopoldville upon his arrival at that place,
was quite characteristic of the man. The
sleepy settlement had hardly woke up one
day when it was astonished to see that
some distance below the town a score of
tents had been reared, and hundreds of
men were hard at work clearing. a space, I
for their camp. Stanley had arrived and'
had his camp hag pitched before anybody
in Leopoldville knew that he was within(
milesoftheplace. The chara,cteristic prompt-
ness, also, with which he cuts Gordian
knots that he cannot untie was well illus-
trated by the alacrity with which he de
spatched a force of soldiers and seized the
steamer lienry Reed after the missionaries
bad formally declined to let him have the
services of that vessel. A few hours after
he reached Stanley Pool he had four parties
of hunters on the waters of that broad ex-
panse shooting hippopotami, and the meat
these hunters supplied was all that saved
his expedition from dire distress.
None but a remarkable man could do the
work that Henry M. Stanley has achieved
in the Dark Continent; and from all the
reports that lave come back from the Congo,
his qualities as a leader of expeditions in
Africa have never shone 't more brilliantly
than in the enterprise which be is now
leading throngh an unknown region to the
relief of Partin Pasha.

of Russia and nearly half as inuell as the

RACES AND RELIGIONS,
India contains three races of men: one in
Central India supposed to be the race of the
aborigines, which worship the evil spirits ;
another in southern India, and the descend-
ants of the immigrant Aryan race, the same
stock from which you have descended. Two
hundred millions of the people are under
British rule and 50,000,000 under feudal
native rule. The religious are divided as
follows - 170 000 000 Hindus 70 ON 000
Meharamedans and 32,000,000 who accept
the lesser 1 eligions, including Chris( bins.
Hinduism is a, mixture of pantheism and
polytheism, The principles of the religion
are announced by the naitve philosophers
thus : There is one existence and no second,
all that exists is God; I sun God or a part
of God. Hindu conversation consists In re.
cognizing the fact that one's self is a part of
God. The Hindus do not believe that the
Iuniverse came from nothing, but that it is
1 an emanation from the supreme spirits.
I' Salvation condste in abeerption into the
divine soul. This doctrine has been wrought
out into two philosophies each having its
priesthood and rites. There is another way
1 of salvation among the common people,
known as the way of work.
THEIR SELF-INFLICTED PUNISHMENTS.
In thefollowing out the belief we may see
all through India persons inflicting upon
their bodies the severest penance in the at,
tenipt to make the soul independent of the
body. During the hot months persons will
stand. within circles of fire with the sun
above doing penance. In cold weather
they may be seen standing in a river day
and night for 15 tor 20 days. A man who
lives near me has erected a stone pillar, and
every morning mounts it and looks directly
into the face of the sun until it sets. He
has done this for seven years, and now his
face is withered, burned up and his sight
almost wholly destroyed. Other men la
themselves upon beds of spikes, Or sit wit
their arms continually raised ta heaven until
their arms literally wither to the bone.
OTHER BELIEFS.
Another way of salvation is the way of
faith.* The believer in this instance puts his
trust in some object. Everything is pregnant
with divine life and is worthy of worship.
This doctrine opens the way for polytheism,
and there is no object in heaven above or in
earth beneath, which is not worshipped by
the Hindu. Sun, moon and stars; human
beings and brute beasts, are all made ob-
jects of worship. The cow and the monkey
especially are sacred animals and images of
cows and monkeys may be found in every
terople. A special day is set apart for the
worship of serpents. The Himalaya moun-
tains and the River Ganges are also sacred.
A drop of Ganges water in a man's bath
cleanses him from all sins, no matter how
heinous. The ashes or bones of any man
cast on the 'river float directly to heaven.
All pereons dying upon its banks are also
sure to go to heaven sooner or later. The
250,000,000 of people have 333,000,000 of
gods. The Benares are 2,000 temples, con-
taining 500,000 images, ministered to by
20,000 priests or Brat mins.
The Mohammedan religion in India is so
much influenced by the polytheistic Hindu
beliefs that one-tenth of the prophet's fol-
lowers are strictly faithful to him. Mission-
ary work in India dates from 1813. Efforts
were made • before, but were fruitless.
There are now 28 missionary societies work-
ing in India. employing 600 ordained mis-
sionaries. The work is accomplished main-
ly through the dialect preaching of the word
of God in the bazars, the chapels and at the
great festivals; education of the younger
classes and the printing press. There are
10,000 pupils in the mission schools at pre-
sent, and two printing presses are used to
print scriptures, tracts, etc., in the various
languages existing in India. Two news-
papers are published. Much influence is
gained by the practice of medicine. Lady
physicians do a great work among the Hindu
women. There are now 600,000 baptized
converts 'in India.

The Power of Imagination.
At a ball in Berlin a lady with very deli-
cate nerves told her friend that she dreaded
• roses more than anything. "The odor of
these flowere,"A she remarked, " always
nia,kes me dizzy." Soon afterwards a lady )
appeared,wearing, unfortunately, a red rose
in her hair. The nervous sufferer at once
turned pale, her arms dropped at her side,
and the sank into a chair. They ran to her
assistance. "What remarkable nervous
irritability I" "What a delicate and sen-
sitive constitution?" exclaimed the by-
standers. "Pray, madam, would you
kindly step aside, as you are the innooent
cause of this lady fainting through the sniell
of the rosebud which you have stuck in your
hair." " Really, if that is the case, I vvill
readily deliver up to you the guilty flower;
butfirst examine it before passing jiidgment."
The flower was handed round among the
group; then anxiety was at an end, glandes
of surprise were exchanged—the fatal rose-
bud was not the child of natUre, but an ex-
cellent artificial imitation.

Two enterprises nova under way in Africa
bid fair before many menthe to give us some
interesting information about the two largest
regions that are still entirely unexplored.
On the latest maps of the Congo Independent
State it may be observed that fully one-half
of the territory between the Sankuru River
and the great northern bend of the Congo
is entirely blank. It is this region which
Lieut. Wissmann set out to explore in No-
vember last. News has just been received
of the arrival of this able explorer early in
April at Lake Tanganyika. He had passed
several months in the unknown countries
between his former route across the con -
anent and Grenfell's riverine researches on
the north. He intended to reach the Indian,
Ocean by way of Lake Nyassa and the
Zanibesi. When he returns to Europe he will
have travelled twice across the continent
from west to east. 15 is believea the region
he has visited is very populous end that he
will bring home much interesting infor-
mation.
West of the Gulf of Guinea, and partly sur-
rounded by districts that have been visited
by many travellers, is a great white space
on the maps. In this is the hypothetical
Lake Liba, but we are not certain that thia
supposed large lake exists, Mir have we a
particle of reliable information abont a region
that is as large as the tate of New York.
A few weeks ago Kund and Tappenbeck,

basin, started for Cameroon for the purpose
of exploring this cduntry. They will doubt-
less be able to settle seine important Ties -
tions. Germany aequired a pig hi a bag

Her name was Galatea.

The sweet one onward presses.

When from a blue wave's form -white brow
A face peers, looking shoreward.
And thus a tender voice bespeaking—

Tobaoco.
Tobacco was first introduced into Western
Europe in 1560 by Francesco Hernandez,
who imported some tobacco -plants from
North America into Spain. The tube, or
pipe, in which the Spaniards smoked the
imported weed was called taboo° and hence
came the name which is now so familiar to
civilization all over the world. In Spain it
is still called, tabaco; in Germany, Holland,
and Russia, tabak ; in France, tabu; and in
England and the United States, "tobacco."
Sir Walter Raleigh, fresh from one of his
voyages to Virginia, was the first to make
smoking fashionable in this country, and even
went so far as to induce Queen Elizabeth
"50 try a few whiffs of the bewitching
vegetable." "The Queen," says Colonel
Bired, the founder of Richmond, in Virginia,
"graciously accepted of it; hut, finding her
stomach sicken it was presently whispered
by the Earl of Leicester's faction that Sir
Walter had certainly poisoned her Majesty.
Soon recovering fromher disorder, the Queen
obliged the Countess of Nottinghasn and all
her maids of honour to smoke out a whole
pipe amongst them.

ped by a leading question. Breaking into
tears, she pleaded : "Yes, sir—no sir 1-15

saying all that would be asked, but the
struggle between truth and confidence WAS
picturesque.

Starry SOROFULA
rrot ftithard Preetor or( the
TearaOr LaNt rent1t1."
On the nights of Aug. 10 and 11 observ-
ers of the star depthe witneseed showers et
meteere celled in the Middle Ages "The
tears of St. Lawrence," but now hisa peed'
°ally named tile Pereeide.
There is to my mind something singularly
interesting in the study of falling stiles, now
that their reai nature begins to be known.
It was impressive enough to recognize, ess
Humbeldt brought men to do hall a oent-
ury ago, the arrival, of bodies which had
for millions of years been outside the earth,
when we saw rushing athwart th,e star
depths the falling stars belonging to a sys-
tem like the August streeni or the Noveneber
meteors called The Leonids. But in Hum-
boldt's time the August and November
meteors were supposed to travel around the
sun inian orbit no wider than the earth's,
and probably not so wide. New when we
look at one of the August viewers we know
that we are contemplating the close of the
career of a body whichehas been travelling 1
for millions of years on 4n orbit far wider I
in range than even she immense orbit of f
Neptune. (It will be observed that I say
"range," not span ;" Neptune has far the
wider orbit; but his path is nearly circular, '
and his greatest little exceeds his mean die
tance ; the 'path folk:fired by the August
stream is highly eccentric, insonmeh that
they pass ratich further from the sun thap
She mean distance of their traok,) Half a
century ago each one of the bodies welch
were seen on the nights mentioned and re-
cognized as belonging to the bunny of Aug-
ust meteors, was far out in space—beyond
the remotest depths to which the astronomer
has yet traced our Solar system. Besides
the travellers( °aught by the earth during
the coming week , and brought to a brilli-
ant end—as in their swift plunge into our
air they are raised to incandescence by in-
tense heat, then vaporized and dispersed—
there are millions of others which will pass
out during the next half century to the
same remote depths of interplanetary space.
As meteors are always falling, and many
besides the August meteors were seen on
Aug. 10 and 11, it may be interesting to those
who care to watch for falling stars to learn
how they may identify meteors of the Per-
seid family. The name of itself shows how
the meteors may be identified. They all
follow tracks whioh seem to radiate from
the constellation Perseus. The traok of an
August meteor may, indeed, be far removed
along its whole length, from that well-
known constellation. But if the observed
course of such a meteor is traced backward
far enough, either in imagination in the star
depths, or on a map or globe, it will be
found to pass through Perseus. If the path
of a meteor, so prolouged beyond its observ-
ed range, should not pass through Perseus,
then the observer may be full sure that
whatever system that meteor belongs to, it
is not one of St. Lawerence's Tears, or, in
She drier style of the astronomer, it ie not a
Perseid.
• The non -astronomical observer will ask,
just here, how he is to find Perseus in the
sky. Fortunately it is easy to direct him,
even without naming the Dipper, the pole
star and other groups or stars which every-
one is supposed to know, but of which many
are profoundly ignorant. At about 9 in the
evening througheut ineteor week, Perseus
is rising about the horizon Midway between
north and northeast. Recognized in that
direction at 9 or any time between 9 and 10,
the constellation can be followed all through
the night, if the obeerver is zealous enough.
It forms' what looks like a festoon of stars
of different brightness, from the second
(only one of these) to the fifth ; and is worth
knowing for its own sake. But if the ob '
server only studieiethe heaven between 9
and 11, he will have no trouble in recog-
inzing August meteors, even with out first
finding Perseus. For wherever an August
meteor appears during those hours its course
will be directed from the north-northeast
horizon at 9, from a point in the northeast
several degrees above the horizon at 11, and
from a point somewhere between these be-
tween 9 and 11.
Considerable interest attaches to the ob-
servation of Perseids before and after Aug.
10 and 11. For such observations indicate
the extent of the stream. Our earth travels,
ui round numbers, 1,600,000 miles in a day,
so that in a week, the time Over which Aug-
ust meteors have been undoubtedly' recog-
nized, theearth has traefersed a distance of
more than 11,000,003 of miles. That is a
tolerably wide spun for a stream of meteoric
bodies. Yet probably it is little compared
with the extension of the streams on either
side of the earth's track. And certainly
the spread of the meteor system in either
direction is the merest nothing compared
with the system's range in distance, a range
amoun ing to the whole circuit of an oval
path mere than four thousand millions of
miles in its greatest length. Thus, if the
August meteors are individually small, some
of them little more than grains of cosmical
dust, they occupy a region of space compar-
ed with which the globe of the sun sinks
into utter insignificance. This magnifi-
cence of mere size means no more, however,
in the meteor system that the amazing di-
mensions of the tails of some of their kin-
dred, the comets, implies in their case.
The tail of the great comet of 1811 was a
hundred millions of miles long and had an
average breadth oh fully ten millions of
miles, signifying a volume of nearly eie,ht
thousand millions of Pmillions of mill ions of
cubic miles, whereas our sun's diameter is
but 850,000 miles and his volume a mere
trifle of some three hundred and si ety thou.
sand millions of millions of 'cubic mites.
But though 8,000,000,000 certainly exceed
360,000 enormously, the whole of that im-
mense comet had no mote real might, which
is the main characteristic of the sun, than
the least of those small asteroids, which are
by courtesy called planets,be tioembined in
their thousands would notmake a tenth of
our earth's mass.
Meteors and comets, however, though un-
important components of the wealth of
matter occupying the celestial spaces, are
full of interest, as associating together by
their myriads of interlacing streams the
planets of our solar system; lie telling us of
other similar gets of meteor streams attend-
ing on other suns, and as even indioating
in some instances the existence of meteoric
and corneae systems which flit from sun to
sun in periods to be measured by millions '
