Since he was driven westwards from the" Niger sources by nraivtp. evwernors of the French Sudan, Samory has made the town of Bondugu his headquarters and there was some rather wild talk at the time rf riir little war with Prempeh about an alliance between the Almami and his Majesty of Ashanti. As a matter Of fact, Samory has always professed a s-rp-at! desire to establish friendly rela tions1 with 'the' British government, and ia HoHowH .v have more than once made overtures for plaJcing himself un der British protection to the great an novance of our excellent. French neigh bars, Who have not hesitated to assert that I the arms and ammunition which enabled the Almami to maintain his' I flfhtine- ritrnfh came from one or nthpr nf the British colonies on the Guinea coast. Samory is now probably about sdxty- .flve years of age, and his career has :beenfull of adventure. A Soninke or Malink hy birth, he was as. a young man I made a ! prisoner of war and be came the sl&r cf a powerful marabout n'amed Fode Mussa.- ' Endowed1 with more than ordinary intelligence, he quickly gained great influence by the fervent evotion to religious duties, and. I on regaining his freedom, pro claimed a divine mission. His great physical strength, his resourcefulness and courage, marked him out, no. less than his religious enthusiasm, as a leader of men. and it Was not long be fore he -was surrounded by a large Tol lawintr of devoted adherents and im posed his authority over a large tract of country. Thp- limits1 of Samory's dominions have never been very clearly defined Indeed, they have varied from year to vmt. Since the early eighties, when Samory first came into contact with the French, he has carried on intermittent warfare with the European invaders, occasionally making treaties when very tiai-d nressed. only to break them wnen the next dry season came, and he had collected a fresh army. Several Euro peans have visited Samory at one or another jof his armed camps; ana oa of hw sons visited Paris during an in terval of peace.

Some Late New Things To prevent the sparks from locomo tives irom setting fires a new device is formed of an inverted cone placed over the smokestack, ending in a bent tube, into5 which an enhaust steam pipe pro jects to put out the sparks as they enter the tube. In a newly patented churn for but termaking two hadf-round dashers are used, the handles being attached to eccentrics on a shaft set in a f ramwork over the churn, turned hy a crank or power, the two dashers working al ternately up and down. . To prevent bicycles from heing stol en a new lock is placed inside a small chamber on the back side of the head, with a bolt turned by a key to fit a recess inside the head, when the front; wheel is brought in a straight line .with the frame. To prevent the stealing of combs from hotel washrooms a new patent has a wire loop set into the metal back of the comb with both ends of the wire fastened inside the back to make a strong attachment for chain to which it is fastened. 5 I A handy ladder recently patented has the rungs pivoted to the uprights at each end, the inside of one of the uprights heing recessed to receive the rungs when the ladder is folded up for carrying, the ladder being fastened when open by an X brace. For the purpose of bracing stove pipes and holding the sections together a rod is placed inside the pipe connect ed with an anchor inside the chimney, the other end of the rod projecting out side the pipe at the elbow and being fitted with a thumb nut to tighten the pipe. A new patented stool which folds up has a metal hand attached by a rivet to one of three uprights, which are fas tened together at the center to open out and form three legs, the uper ends being recessed to hold the metal band, over which is stretched a piece of can vas to form the seat. , A table for drawing purposes recent ly patented has a roller .at each end of the table to hold the ends of a roll of paper which passes over the top and is held in place for work without pins or paste by means of clasmps at, the ends, the table being fitted with all the latest drawing appliances.

Atlanta Journal. "What Causes the Aurora Borealis ? If fire-balls were thought miraculous and portentiousin days of yore, what interpre tation must needs have been put upon that vastly! more picturesque phenomenon the auroral "Through all the city," says the Book of Maccabees, "for the space of almost forty days, there were seen horse- men running in the air, in cloth of gold, armed with lances, like a band of sol diers; and troops of horsemen in array encountering and running one against another, with shaking of shields and mul titudes of pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden ornaments and harness." Dire omens these, and hardly less ominous the aurora seemed to all succeeding genera tions that observed it down till well into the eighteenth century as witness the popular excitement in England in 1716 over the brilliant aurora of that year, which became famous through Halley's description. , , . I But after 1752, when Franklin dethroned the lightning, all spectacular meteors came to be regarded as natural phenom ena, the aurora among the rest. Franklin explained the aurora which was seen commonly enough in the eighteenth cen tury ; though only recorded once in the seventeenth as due to the accummula tirm nf piprtrinitv on the surface of polar l, snows, and its discharge to the equator through the upper atmospnere. nabLswiua Darwin suggested that the luminosity might be due to the ignition of hydrogen, nrriirh WAS supposed Dy many pnuusu phers to form the upper atmosphere , Dal- I ton, wno nrsi 11 u cu l c "i" t aurora, estimating 11 ai auuui unc hun dred miles, thought the phenomenon due to magnetism acting on ferruginous par ticles in the air, and his explanation was perhaps the most popular one at the he ginning of the century. i Since then a multitude of observers have studied the aurora, but the scientific grasp has found it as elusive, in fact as it seems to casual observation, and its exact nature is as undertermined today as it was a hundred years ago. There has been no dearth of theories concerning it, however. Blot, who studied it in , the Shetland Islands in 1817, thought it due to electrified ferruginous dust, the origin of which he ascribed to Iceland volcanoes. Much more recently the idea or ierrugi nmis narticles has been revived, their presence being ascribed not to volcanoes, but to the meteorites constantly being tpri in the atmosphere. Ferrugi nous dust, presumably of such origin, has been found on tne poiar snows, as wen as onthe snows of mountain-tops, but whether it could produce the phenomena of auroras is at least an open question. The prevailing theory 6 today is that the aurora is due to a current of electricity generated at the equator, ano passing through upper regions of space, to enter earth at the magnetic poles simply re versing the course which Franklin as sumed. . . . The similarity Of the auroral ngnj 10 that trpnftrated in a vacuum bulb by the nassaee of electricity lends support to the long-standing supposition that the aurora is of electrical origin, dui xne suujeci sum awaits complete elucidation. For once even that mystery solver the spectroscope has Been Damea, ior me ime it ouib uum the aurora is not matched by that of any recognized substance. A like line' is found in the zodiacal light, it is true, but this Is little aid. for the zodiacal light, though thought by some astrono mere to be due to meteor swarms about the sun, It Is held to be, on the whole, as mysterious as the aurora itself. Whatever the exact nature of the auro ra, it has long been known to be intimate ly associated with the phenomena of ter restrial magnetism. Whenever a brilliant aurora is visible, the world is sure to be visited with what Humboldt called a mag netic storm a. "storm" which manifests itself to human senses in no way whatso ever except by deflecting the magnetic needle and conjuring with the electric wire. Such magnetic storms are curiosly associated, also with spots on t&e sun just how no one has explained, though the fact Itself Is unquestioned. Sun spots, too, seem directly linked with auro ras, each of these phenomena passipg through periods of greatest and least fre quency in corresponding cycles of about eleven years duration.

Editor Morrison of Worthington, Ind., "Sun," writes: "You I have a valuable prescription in Electric Bitters, and I can cheerfully recommend it for Con stipation and Sick Headache, and as a general system tonic it has no equal." Mrs. Annie Stehle, 2625 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run-down; could not eat nor digest food, had a back ache which never left her and felt tired and weary, but six bottles of Electric Bitters restored her health and renew ed her strength.

If, as people saw it, the presenta tion appear funny, it would at- least be true. If to others it was sad, it would still have the merit of uniqueness. The American colored man here Is a good deal like a hoy just out of school. He feels his freedom and shows It in geniously. When one has not been al lowed to stick his nose Inside the portal of the Hotel Waldorf in New -York" and is refused entertainment at the best hotelries of his nation's capital, ta be wel comed at the Hotel Cecil in London is, perhaps, a little upsetting. After finding oneself excluded from the best restau rants In America, or frowned upon in them, to be seated and smiled at by the obsequious manager of . Frascatti's Is something of a change . - ; There are many colored men here' who are too ignorant to take a right advant age of their greater freedom. Their first idea of unrestrained manhood is to" bully the waiters and flirt with the barmaids. But;, after the first flush of novelty has worn off, when he begins to realize that he Is not only allowed to be a free man but deemed to be a dignified one, he looks for higher game among the women and learns to browbeat his tradesmen. The middle and lower classes of the English place the colored man in a strangely dignified position. He is always supposed to have money, and his natu ral love and Indulgence in good clothes bears out this preconceived Idea of him. The people are therefore easily imposed upon. One fellow, whose story I know beyond a doubt of its certainty, who was riving in elegant apartments and feeding upon the fat of the land, had, by his own confession, not a. penny. He wore good clothes, a faultless "topper" and had given It out that the object of his visit to England was to Investigate the mar kets and Invest his money here. He was prevented week after week from paying his board by delays of remittances from his American agents.. During the time of the sojourn of" a dark potentate here, a handsome and distinguished-looking. American had an experience, which is much chuckled over when the elect are together. He Is a man well known both in New York and Chicago, and : in fact all over America. His fine presence and impressive manners give some color to the story which he tells of himself. He was standing on one of the refuges in the middle of a busy London street waiting for the stream of traffic to go by in order to cross, when he was suddenly espied by a policeman. Instantly the bobby drew him self erect, raised his ' hand and in a moment omnibuses, hansoms, bicycles and private carriages were stopped, and, with a military salute, the swelling blue coat said; "Pass on. Prince. " A characterisistlc of many colored men here is their desire to get away from the fact that they are American negroes, and it is of the American negro I am speak ing. There aTe so many Hindoos, Afri cans and Australians here that It is easy enough to hide one's, nationality if one wants to, for In the English sense all are colored men. But I would have you know that there are colored men and colored men, Hindoos, Africans, Barda doans, and all - being mistaken for the say what you will, he Is their superior, as even my brief experience here has shown -me. But the pity of it is that he himself, with the record of such a noble struggle against terrible odds and such a grand achievement, should so often seek to creep it under the cloak of other nations. With this, feeling I have neither sympathy nor patience Jew York Tri bune. The Growth of Language No committee can tell whether a word is a good word or a bad word, or whether it is wanted or not. Old-fashioned people will always tell you that a new word is not wanted, and that there are plenty of exact equivalents for it already In the language. This seems conclusive, yet ex perience often proves they were wrong, and that there was a shade of meaning which they did not perceive, but which was nevertheless pressing eagerly for ex pression. Thousands of words which we now consider absolutely essential -to the language were, when they were first In troduced, described as quite unnecessary, and the mere surplusage of pedantry or affectation. Let any one turn to that most humorous of Elizabethan plays, "The Poetaster," and read the scene in which the poet (Marston is the subject of the satire) is given an emetic, and made to bring up all the new-fangled words which he has used In his works. The character who is watching the results keeps on calling out that such and such a monstosity "has newly come up." This was thought a brilliant piece of satire at the time, and yet now half the condemn ed words are admitted by all readers and writers. In truth there can be no censor ship in literature. The only possible plan is to give every word its chance, and al low the fittest to survive. It was in this sense that Dryden declared that he pro posed new words, and if the public ap proved, "the bill passed," and the word became lawv Instead of a writer being on the lookout to throttle and destroy any and every new word or phrase that may be suggested, it ought to be his business to encourage all true and fitting develop ments of his native tongue. Dryden, In the admirable passage from which we have quoted already, uses the memorable phrase, "I trade both with the living and the dead for the enrichment of our ton gue.

Hints for the Household Two or three oyster shells thrown upon the fire with the coal will help to absorb any clinkers that may be gathering in the stove. It is said that polishing silverware by rubbing It with oatmeal is a good plan. It is worth trying for It cannot harm and It may do good. When using cabbage for green slaw, cut it into ribbons an hour or more before It is to be used and let it stand in ice water until the last moment: then drain it upon soft cloth to remove the water and pour a French dressing over it. If once tried thus It will always be treated in this manner. " A serviceable and .practical cover for a dining room table when not in use is made by purchasing an unbleached table cloth of the required length, selecting a scroll of some large, effective pattern, and outlining this in wash silks, the colors to harmonize with the furnishings of the room. This cloth, besides being easily, laundried, makes an attractive cover. , . To earn money for her Easter offering one girl filled the shells of English wal nuts with wax and sold them for work baskets. A three-inch length of baby rib bon fastened the two halves together at one end, and each half was filled with melted wax. The shells were pressed closely together at the end where the ribbons were pasted, and a space was left at the other end through which the thread could be drawn when the wax was needed. The ribbon loop served for fastening the shell to the side of a bas ket. One of these contrivances makes a pretty addition to one's useful articles. Many a housewife is disheartened when she finds that the house Into which she has just moved was inhabited before she arrived, and that already her nicely cleaned beds are being occupied. A sure death for such invaders is benzine. It will at once destroy all Insect life, and does not Injure carpets or furniture. Fill a longnecked can with this fluid and ap ply it thoroughly in all cracks and cre vices where the bugs or then eggs may be. Leave the doors and windows open and the odor will quickly evaporate. Ben zine should be used only In daylight, as It is very inflammable, and must not be carried near an open fire or a light.. New York Sun. . Report of Committee on Resolution, At the request of Miss Annie W. Arm strong, - of Baltimore, the Messenger prints, with pleasure, the following reso lutions, which were presented at the an nual meeting of the Woman's Missionary "Union, recently held in this city: Resolved, 1st, That .we render thanks to Almighty God for the marvellous growth of the Woman's Missionary Union, for the progress of the past year, and for the harmony that has marked the present session. . 2d. That we express entire satisfaction in, and gratitude to, the officers and the local board for their untiring labors and wise plan of work; and that to these lat ter we pledge our hearty support. 3d. That we are deeply sensible of the christian courtesy extended us : by the Flrst Presbyterian church in the use of their beautiful building, made bright by the decoration of lovely flowers, and by the presence of many of their congrega tion, and of the large and elegant recep tion tendered us by the ladies of the city of Wilmington, where, their warm -hospitality was expressed in exquisite music 4th. We thank the press of Wilmington for full reports . and kindly notice; the ladies who furnished . sweet music, both vocal and Instrumental; the young lady aides for prompt and-noiseless attention; and to the sexton, whose efficient ser vice left nothing to be desired. 5th. Our thanks are extended to the railroads for cheap rates, for kind atten tion and for elegant service. And to the committee of arrangements and citizens of the beautiful "City by the Sea" for unlimited and graceful hospitality. 6th. Having heard with pleasure that the colored Christians of Wilmington had voluntarily offered to contribute to r the entertainment of the convention, we ex press to them our heartfelt gratification and thanks; thanks also to the colored sisters who attended our sessions trust ing that these evidences of good feeling : on the part of our colored brethren may stimulate us to greater efforts on their behalf. 7th. That we thank the foreign, home and Sunday school boards for assistance and sympathy, and for - their wise and most helpful recommendations, and as sure them of loyal and hearty co-operation, especially in the observance of the Christmas offering, weeks of prayer and self-denial and missionary day. The Texas Lynching Texas has a lynching bee which differs materially in various Important particu lars from similar occurrences recorded from time to time, and which, in the dis crimination exercised by the mob, Is a reflection upon the administration of jus tice in the Lone Star state that should be heeded. Bill Jones, a white man, had been thrown into jail at Lindale, Smith county, on the charge of hiring a colored man named Jones to murder W. Riley Stewart, a farmer and ex-county commissioner. The lynchers broke Into the jail and shot Jones dead. The negro who- committed the murder was not molested, for the rea son that he has no money and is colored, two circumstances which, In the opinion of the mob, make it certain that justice will be done in the courts, and which ren der it unnecessary to forestall the course of the law. What a scathing indictment this In volves against the judicial tribunal of Smith county! It is, in fact, a declaration that a man who has money can escape punishment for any crime he may com mit. It means that juries may not be trusted to convict,- and that judges are prone to be turned aside from their sworn duties by the jingle of coin. It is a broad charge of venality against those entrusted with the operation of the judicial machinery, and implies that the whole system is corrupt. Are lynchinga elsewhere prompted by the same consideration? Their frequency sugggesta a want of confidence in court trials, which Is lessening respect for order and which becomes a direct incentive to crime, . - -The remedy is not to be sought In the prosecution of lynchers, but in the re moval of those conditions which make it possible for criminals to escape. Balti more Herald, ' the Disgrace of Trongers- A Paris woman petitions the authori ties to allow women to wear trousers, so that in case of another fire their chances of escape may be equal to those of theme n. Many wearers of trousers at that calamitous fete -are under the grave impeachment of hav ing conducted themselves there like savages and monsters, making their own escape by trampling, and striking down the terrified and help'.ess women around them. If the garment produces effect like this in times of panic on the sons of France, what might it not do to the daughters ? The petitioner , should cling to her petticoats,and learn ways to make them incombustible, which is easy enough If she sets about it in the right way. Besides the immediate re proach which its Paris wearers have brought upon it, the assumption of the "other garment involves much' greater I and more varied responsibilities than she imagines. It is also ridiculously ugly in the comparison, and that con sideration ought to dispose of the ques tion once for all, shutting - off further debate upon it. New York Tribune. Dr. Mllbura'a Prayer for Victoria It was a beautiful and gracious trib ute which the chaplain of the senate. Rev. Rr. Milburn, paid to Queen Vic toria in his prayer yesterday morning, when the senate convened. In a rich, musical voice he prayed as follows: "O Thou who art the King of Kings and Lord I of Lords, we bless thee for the long and illustrious reign of thy servant, the gracious sovereign lady. Queen "Victoria, whose conduct and character as daughter, wife, mother, as well as illustrious sovereign, have en shrined her in the hearts and reverence of true-hearted men and women around the world. Endow her with peace, health, safety, and may her last days be her best and happiest. So endow and guide the councils of that realm and of our own beloved country that, hand in hand, they may tread the path of conservative progress to the goal of Christian civilization until! the Prince of the Kings of earth, the first begot ten from the dead, shall become the monarch of all hearts and all lives In our race. We humbly pray in His acred name, amen. Washington Post. Beyond the Night. (In memory of Margaret J. Preston.) The lark-like voice that sang so long,: Through bitter days or bright. Has found the source of deathless song Beyond the night. The loyal heart that beat so true, Unchanged by earthly ills, Has reached the everlasting blue Of God's own hills. The poet soul that clearly saw, In every mortal thing, Twin miracles of love and law Has taken wing. The eyes by stress of time made dim (Death's mystic border passed,) Beyond the far horizon's rim See light at last. Wm. H. Hayne, in the Independent.
