Stanley, the famonsAfrion, travel- ler, was recently interviewed regarding Ger- man aggression in East Africa, "Do you know who was primarily responsible for sending the Germans to East Africa?" Mr. Stanley was asked. "It was I. I came back from the Congo in 1873 profoundly impressed with the value and fertility of the Interior. It was evident to me that Africa, must before long become the great question that it is. I came home determined rainy own mind that England must be first in the work of settling and civilizing the new continent. As soon AS I had fflushed my nook 1 began to lecture on the subject Between the time of my ar- rive' and the month of December of thesame year I gave sixty lectures in different parts Of England, telling what I had semiarid lay- ing out plainly before the people of this overcrowded working country. the richemof the scarcely inhabited (lists:tots which are waiting for them to develop. I put my whole heart into the work. I did all I could to rouse the interest which, to my mind, the subject deserved. "*My lectures produced their effect, but it was not in this country. England remained apathetic. I was rewarded with the indif- ference of the Tensile and the jeers of the press. Germany, Belgium, Portugal, woke up. They saw what 1 had wanted my own countrymen to see, that a new world. was waiting to be civilized, My lecturewere translated and read all over the Continent. The King of the Belgians sent for Inc and asked me to undertake the opening ot the regions of the ening°. I left for Africa in his service on the 19th of June, 1879. In August of 1882 1 was hone again. It was proposed to form the International Assoce- ation of the Congo. Again I felt that Eng - lend ought to have her part in this interna- tional undertaking. I lectured again, espe- daily to the London Chamber of Commerce tied die etsseelated Chambers of Commerce. This time I was more warmly welcomed. The press, wisieli had been contemptuous became complimentary, but the feeling that I stirred up was personal. The public did not Kraal) the idea that what I wanted was not personal admieatiou, not individual sympathy, however kindly given, but to rouse the country to a sense of duty in this matten I need not repeat the arguments which must weigh with a great Country like this When there is a great work to be done. I felt that we could do it, and do it welt But no; England would not be roused. Men shrugged thewshoulders. I was a dreamer. My schemes were utopian. In fact, I realiz- ed. how true it is that under the temptation of the word 'Quixotic' the devil enters into us at. Ones to chill all hearty endeavour and to take the soul out of our work. So Eng- • land missed her chance. The International Emeter Butcner Shop Association, of which she ought to have been the bie and leader, was formed without ben and in 1882 I went out for it to explore au - other thousaud miles, to push on from Stan- ley Pool to Stanley Falls, and to discover the Corte lakes.

The great centres were silent. Everyone was waiting for a lead, and no one led. The newspapers somehow don't succeed in .gauging the public mina. Instead of gathering and reflectiug the gen- eral opinion, they watch the utterances of great men, and in their turn the great men Iota the papers. They do not say what they think. They say what they believe that the press aud public will accept. Only the othex• day I heard one of our greatest snen express in private an this very subject sentiments worthy of a Frobisher or a Drake. Do you suppose he will utter them in public ? Not he. He will speak in public to the level of the newspapers which report his speech. The man who works for England in this service works with the public hand as it were on the scruff of his peck, ready at every moment to drag him back. $o much for the English sine of the story.

It was, you remember, on the 23th of February, 1885, that the General Act, which maybe called the birth certificate of the Congo Free State, was signed. 1 lectured at the Conference, I lectured through Germany, I spoke in Eng- lish, but the interest taken throughout Germany in what I had to say was very dif- ferent from the halnattection accorded to me in England. The Germans are a serious and resolute people, and I found everywhere thoughtful audiences ready to weigh my in- formation, to form opinion upon it, and to give effect to their . opinions.

At'the same all other kinds. time, the men who have since become Liatest and 311011leSt colonial authorities were about me. It was while the Conference was sitting that Count Pfeil 'asked me one day, 'Where should Germany begin if she wants to have her share in the colonization of Africa ?' We took the map, and after going through the objec- tions to the West coast, I advised him to begin at Usagara. I described the country and its advantages to him, and that one talk did what hundreds of lectures in England could not do. He took niy advice, and Ger- many went to Usagara.

When •Wissmann started for Africa • the Emperor -wished him God speed, Bismarck kissed him and blessed him—and, mind -you, the blessing of an old man who had worked all his life for his country to a young man just starting upon a new enterprise counts for something. What do you expect of a young soldier going out under those circum- stances, with the feeling that he has the Emperor and the country at his back ? What cna he do but succeed ? And he will succeed. " The principal feeling that I have with regard to the German claims in that part of Africa is of amazement at their modesty. Have they not found all along that they know then own mina and that we do not know ours? ' We are in a happy vein of giving.

Fortunately for us, only Gertnany so fee understands the art in its perfection. German methods are not our methods. When the law of neighbourly dealing comes to the article What is mine is mine, and what is yours may possibly be yours,' Ger- many knows how to apply it ; we do not. Our Government lets question afterquestion slide, and our newspapers, which ought to be the sentries of national well-being, are deaf and dunab. The upshot of it all is that the servants of Germany are able to count confidently upon support at home, and the servants of England must be content to work under the shadew of indifference," "The question lies now onee more before the country.

Steam - era on the lake would carry commueieations to within eighty miles of Lake Albert. The two lakes should be connected by rail, and steamers on Lake Albert would carry the communication on again to Duffle.

The sources of the Nile and the Equatorial province are at our feet.

Nothing is more disgusting to the poul- terer than a hen which eats eggs, and. it is generally conceded the best plan is to put her in the pot. But one does not alwaye feel like doing this, for the hen may be valua.ble —a prize -taker or a choice specimen secured from some noted breeder's yard. Further- more, there may be a number of hens or e whole breeding -pen wldicted to this miser- able habit, and to dispoee of them, all by pint - ting them in the pot would involve a heavy loss ; so I shall tell you how I break hens of this habit: I simply cut the upper part of the bill off a bit shorter 0- aaethe lower part. It is the strong, sharp, horny part of the beak, which does the work. 'The lower part is softer and. by cutting the upper part back considerably it becomes sore and the birddoes not feel disposed to pick very hard. Of course if a bird is not worth much and is the only one in the flock which eats eggs it might be best to kill her : but I think the aforesaid method will put a stop to this mis- chief.

This convict work went on for forty years, and many of the fine roads in Bermuda were cut out of the rock by unfortunates in snip- ed Suits; but no convicts have been sent there since 1863. New fortifications are constantly in progress, for the ever-chang- ing ana improeing systems of warfare make new Oefenses necessary every low years. Not an onion field in Bermuda is safe frees the encroachments of the military, for the Imperial Government is entitled by law to seize any piece of lend it may went, seed Commissioners are appointed afterward to determine what compensation sban be given the owner. In this respect the British Gov- ernment is almost as autocratic as an Amer- ican railroad. Nature, however, put so many forts in Bermuda that few others are really needed. If you were to stand a thousand thimbles upright on a big iihmer tray you would have it correct outline of the surface of the islands ; and every hill is big enough to protect any number of men and batteries. The cable will be a great thing for Ber- muda, notwithstanding the drawbacks that will inevitably go with it. It will soon con- nect with some of the more southerly islands, and then all the "British possessions in Am- erica" will be connected by wire. The West India Cable Company is compelled by law On by clauses in its numerous subsidies, which amounts to the same thing,) to send free a certain quantity of general news every day, and these despatches are posted in pub- lic places for the benefit probably of the 90 per cent, of darkies who cannot read. It is a matter of congratulation for them that they cannot, for the "news" dispatches are the worst lot of European nonsense that could be gathered together. •"The Prince of Wales, who has been suf- fering from a slight indisposition for several days, having taken cold by removing his hat in church, is in irnproved health to -day, and, it is hoped, will be able to assist ip laying the corner stone of the new Washington Monument in Kew Gardens next Wednes- day." • "When Prince Bismarck's pipe failed. to draw yesterday he was overheard to remark that there was undoubtedly some obstruc- tion isa the stem. This is thought in Court circles to have it hidden meaning that may exert a deep influence on European polit- ics." I have often seen such idiotic telegrams as these posted in Bridgetown'Kingston, St. Johns, and Port of Spain; a.nd. no doubt Bermuda will soon be regaled with them. But the worst feature of West Indian cables is the prohibitory tariff for private messages. The rate from Jamania to London is $1.40 a word includieg the address and signature; from Antigna, $2.42; Barbadoes, $2.76, and Trinidad, $3.98. • • The .great dock yard, amply protected by almost Impregnable fortifications, is what gives Bermuda its importance from a naval 'standpoint. There the largest ships afloat can be taken out off the water and repaired, and there are men and machinery for making any part of a ship that may be needed. The dock yard is on Ireland Island, on what looks like the mot exposed point in Bermuda, though it is in reality about the best protect- ed, for it is surrounded for miles by coral reefs that make it impossible for any ship to approach. It can only be readied through the main ship channel, which is commanded by a dozen forts. Any stranger can get it pass to visit it, and a little steamboat runs over twice a (ley from Reunited', giving a Mrs. Austinc.ltesolation Not to Talk. Mrs. Austin read the other day about a woman who, to punish her husband for his meanness, resolved not to speak a word so long as she lived, and actually kept her re- solution for over forty years. Now she had nr idea of keeping a forty years' fast—tougue fast—but her husband had picked her up so often when she did speak that she thought that she would try the virtue of silence a little while, anyhow, and she proceeded to put her resolution into immediatenxecution. And she determined to use a slate to write out her sentiments, chuckling to herself as sne thought how astonished Mr. Austin would be when he found *hat she had for :- sworn talking as a pnnishiney‘t to him for worrying her so. To her chagrin Mr. Austin didn't come home to dinner, so she was denied the op- portunity of posing as a mute before him that evening. • Nor did he show up until the small hours of the morning, and then he was carrying a hefty jag. " Who'm—I—who are you ?" hiccoughed Mr. Austin, as he staggered into the sitting - room. Then Mrs. Austin wrote on the slate which she had reedy for his coming, "1 am your own dear wife, John, but I can never speak it word to you more." • Mr. Austin gazed at it in a dazed sort of way and said, Who tole erer to—er--put it on er slate. I pays for what I orders. No slate for me." Then he seized the slate and endeavored tO break it on the stair railing, when Mrs. Austin seized her bewildered husband by the abet collar and snaked him off to bed, • exclaltning, "You miserable, pernicious, abominable, pestiferous, deteriorating, ipas- medic, monumental, drunken idiot, 'resolv- ed to have no nore words with you, but you, torture me beyond endurance. I must talk." • And the neighbors say that a won -Ian's voice, pitched at a very high key, was heard in the Austin mansion until nearly daylight. —{Siftings.

Ottawa boy, was recently offered by the viceroy of India, Lord Lansdowne, &position as A. D. C. on his personal staff. The cap- tain accepted conditionally on the usual, leave being granted him from his regiment now stationed at Lucknow. The leave ba% been granted. and Captain Wise is now at. Simla, the et limner residence of Lord Lane-. downe. It is said that during the Chancellorship crisis, Prince Bismarck appealed to the ex-, Empress the Peincess Royal of England, to intervene in his favor, and that she replied, " You know better than anyone that I must not use political influence with my son," • Teacher—"And. now, children, you have hoed the story of Aurtnias. What lesson should we learn from his fate ?" Tommy— "Never 50 get caught."
