AFRICANUS AND AFRICANA.
pen Picture of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley by
Alfred Ilalch.
Special Correspondence.
Nett Yoke, Not. 17. The lady is first,
ts of right. Mrs. Henry M. Stanley, sho
who was Miss Dorothy Tennant, is tall
and slight. She has a wealth of golden
brown hair, her eyes are large, soft and
brown, her complexion is like porcelain,
and she had when she arrived in New
York a great deal of color. Sho walks
gracefully, with a lissomo movement, and
her feet are as small as those of an Ameri
can belle. Sho is slender and her figure is
good. "When she arrived on the Teutonic
the wore a circular of blue cloth, trimmed
with gray fur, a black hat and a face veil.
Sho moves continually to a position near
her husband, and she has a habit of taking
refuge behind him when she is talking.
This, however, seems to bo a survival, for
Bhe will retreat behind her mother, if Mrs.
Tennant Is near, when questioned by any
one she does not know well. She has a
wonderfully epirituelle expression, the look
of a born artist, and the contrast between
herself and her husband recalls the old
proverb anent contraries in marriage.
It may be the fame which Stanley Afri
canus has won as a traveler and explorer,
as a man whom no difficulties may daunt
nnd no dangers detain, that produced in
my mind the impression he was physically
a big man. What was my surprise at hav
ing the smallest man in the group stand
ing near the Teutonic's rail pointed out to
ineas the man from Africa. Stanley is
about 5 feet 9 inches, I should Indue. His
face is of n peculiar color. There seems to
bo an under color of tan, as though ho
had been darkened by the sun and tho
bcarf skin had been put on afterward.
Hia hair is silver white, the tint being that
f frosted metal. His eyes aro hazel and

rather small, and ho has a trick of half
. closing them when talking to you. His
mustache is white, and there is not enough
of it to hide the expression of his mouth,
which looks as though he might bo terri
bly bitter in his speech on occasion. His
iigure is compact, and he moves as only
those mpVa who are physically powerful.
He is careless in his dress, as are most men
who have spent much time in the free lifo
of the wild; he woro his gloves unbut
toned and one end of his coat collar turned
up. Ho is terribly earnest in manner; ho
Impresses you, moves you, by this earnest
ness. Generally he talks in a rather low
tone of voice, but his sentences can ring
out as he becomes excited by the subject
matter of his speech. His voice is wonder
fully sympathetic iu timbre; it recalls tho
description of Cardinal Newman's voice:
"Thoro aro tears in ?t!" As he bpoke of
the men who died at Yambuya, the Arabs
Xnd Zanzibaris, I wish you could have
heard the pathos, the exceeding mourning,
tt the words: "These men were my men,
my officers. They did not belong to tho
committee; they were mine. Many of
them were old and tried friends whom I
had trusted only to find them true. My
friends died J here!" His voice expressed
tho 6orrow as well as the rage which filled
his heart as ho thought of that long
tragedy.
Tho man hecnis to be devoid of humot.
Jokes affect him not, nor does lie approach
tbem in his talk. Ho is grim as well as
earnest. Ilo repels and attracts at the
fcume time. Ho has an air of infinite pa
tience, and in his talk you aro impressed
by an evident thoroughness shown in small
things. This explains (o you his success.
Nothing is so little as to bo without a
claim on his attention, nothing so largo
that ho will not study it. But the suffer
ing ho has gone through has left its mark,
for on his face t here is a look as of one who
has drawn tho veil and gazed at death face
lo face, yet has not been afraid.

AND THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.

"Washington.
(Copyright by American Press Association.
Having seen the congress of the United
States open its session and enjoyed many
hours in listening to its debates I naturally
wanted to "take a go" at the house of com
mons while in London before the recent
autumn adjournment, but that thing
"cawn't be done any day, don't you know."
MR- barkes, or Georgia.
) In fact-more negotiation is required to get
a look at the commons in session than to
see President Harrison. The important
distinction between the capitol buildings
of the two nations is this: In Washington
the halls of congress and their galleries
make up most of the interior; at West
minster palace the hall is but an insignifi
cant room in the great building, while the
gallery is no larger in proportion than
that set apart for negroes in old southern
churches.
Nor was it easy toiirtd Americans who
knew much about the commons, for it is
a singular fact that of tho many thousand
Yankees in London during "the beason"
scarcely one in a hundred gets a peep at
tho house. To the question, however, as
to what struck them most, as different
from tho congressional proceedings, all
who had looked at parliament answered:
"The habit of cross-examining the cab
inet officials. There would have to bo
quite a revolution at Washington before
our fellows would stand up and answer
any question any member ot theopposition
part chose to ask."
As a matter of fact, tho ministers do not
answer all the questions; they are at liber
ty to "reserve a rpply when important in
terests might be jeopardized by premature
publication." And when they do answer
their words are often so ordered that an
American has to study them with the aid
of a world's atlas, a political dictionary
nnd a set of the "blue books" to get at the
exact meaning. It is .'.musing to note,
however, that human nature breaks out in
much tho same way at Westminster and
Washington. The members in tho minor
ity usually ask in such a way as to imply
that tho whole concern is going to the
"demnition bowwows," and the minister's
answer contains a marked implication
that tho British empire is now in the high
est state of prosperity, and would be in
much better caso were it not for the pesky
opposition.
The practice of the monarch's appearing
in person is gradually falling into disuse,
and so the nppioaching sesion will doubt-

less be opened as many preceding ones
have been, by the lords commissioners
. that is, by the lord chancellor and five other
members of the privy council. Exactly at
I 2 o'clock on the day set Lord Chancellor
i Halsbury takes his seat "on the woolsack,"
and tho lords present also take scats and
remain silent for about one solemn min
ute. Then the lord chancellor walks into
a side room and soon mtppcnrs at the head
of the commission all the six in gorgeous
scarlet and ermine robes. They range
themselves on a bench in front of the
throne, and the cliHnceilor commands the
"gentleman usher of the black rod" (Hon.
Sir James K. Drummond, G. C. B., at pres
ent) to announce to her majesty's, com
mons that the lords await.
Tho commons meanwhile are having a
good deal of fun. The speaker siinply calls J
them to order, and thon they fall to talk- !
ing and laughing, inquiring as to each
other s health during tho recoss and chaf
fing" the late comers. The door toward
the lords opens, the cry of "Black Bod" is
raised and there is silence. He bows three
timos and delivers hi message, then fol
lows the speaker out, and all the members
march after to tho hall of the lords. Of
late years there has been much relaxation,
and few of the commoners listen to the
proceedings. The royal commission is read
by the clerks, each of the six commission
ers rising and bowing as his name is men
tioned. Then Lord Halsbury reads the
queeu's speech, but no one hears it. Tho
members will soon have the papers con
taining it, and so they, especially the com
moners, put in the time nocially. They are
theu dismissed, and go to their own hall
of college rush.
Such iu brief is the account given by all
Americans who have witnessed the cere-
named. congress only uy a sort of accident)
never was very lonnai, ana nence in .mr-
ican histories one finds none of thoe florid
and t-tiiiiitni de.-siriptiou of its Ixigtnninpi
so common iu Enu'li-.i histories. With
but three exceptions pxy majorities have
always been s large t jmI spankers were
cbunen with no stru. tie in the house,
though thero is generally a hot time in the
party caucus.
The clerk of the preceding house of
representatives makes up the ht of the
new house, calls the same to order at noon
on the first Monday in December, calls the
roll and presides till the houuc chooses a
speaker, and then retires without cere
mony to private life. Three times, how
ever, in American history the clerk has be
comea man of great importance,and once he
was a bigger man than the president. This
was in December, 1S33, and John W. Forney
was the man. The house began ballotingon
the Sd of December and kept it up till Feb.
1. 1S5& then doinaiiing of giviog any c&n-
ifsvrf'f w
g.
didate a majority of all tko votes cast, 7.
agreed to allow a plurality to elect, and
on Feb. 2 Nathaniel P. Banks became
speaker. It is an odd coincidence that
after having been a general and governor
of Massachusetts ho returned to congress
for s time and at tbo late election was de
feated by Sherman Hoar.
Tho senate being ia t&eory a continuing
body, and having the vice president for its
presiding officer, meets very much as if
it had adjourned but the previous day.
Nevertheless the opening of a new con
gress excites general attention, and the
galleries are usually crowded, as they are
also at the opening of the second session.
At this tho speaker usually Bays a few nice
things about his joy at meeting the mem
bers again, and it is presumed that nothing
has lately happened to cause Mr. Reed to
omit that cheerful courtesy this year.
At tho opening of the next congress,
however, there will be fun. There always
is some fun over the proceedings of the
new members, and the house of the Fifty
eecond congress will certainly be "new."
Entire state delegations will consist.of new
men, and there will be nearly 100 members
who have never served in any parliament
ary body, not even a state legislature. Of
those new to congress 120 will bo Demo
crats and 80 Republicans as near as can
now be determined with a somewhat un
certain quantity of Farmers' Alliance men.
That nearly all tho prominent Republicans
of preceding congresses were "left" is of
common knowledge, but it Is a little sur
prising to observe that many prominent
Democrats are in the same fix.

Georgia, for instance, returns bnt four
oil members, while Kentucky sends nine;
Indiana returns some old Democrats, but
of Republicans not one, and so on "all
around the board." The hall of the house
will look queer to old visitora. Among
the most noted absentees will be Messrs.
McKinley, Butterworth, Cannon. McAdoo,
Lawler, Grosvenor, Kennedy But the list
is too long. Some who had not had
time to acquire leadership will be greatly
missed, among them the gigantic Barnes,
of Georgia. He is b.0 intellectually and
physically, but was turned down in the
general overturn. He is the biggest man
in tho present house and among the very
best lawyers.
Mr. Cheadle, of Indiana, has been con
spicuous for several reasons, and stands as
a remarkable example of how much talent
lies concealed about the country till some
exigency calls it out. He ran the usual
course of the ambitious country boy, first
as teacher in a district school, then law
student and for some time editor of a ram
shackle country newspaper, the financial
condition of whicli was matter for laugh
ter ana tears, rue coming of a circus
show, with its usual 30 bill for a "mam
moth ad," was a whit:; day with him then.
I speak feelingly on this subject, for Mr.
Cheadle sold the concern to me. He went
to Frankfort, Clinton county, got a better
show, and at the end of a long party dis
sension was nominated as a compromise
candidate, thus becoming the mem l)er from
the Ninth Indiana district. lie served his
constituency admirably, and, having been
a private for threo years in the Seventy
first Indiana, he naturally stood forth as a
"soldier champion." According to north
ern Indiana custom (and not a very good
custom) he was given but two terms.
Gen. Charles Henry Grosvenor, of the
Fifteenth Ohio district, is also a soldier's
champion, and has had nn extremely varied
axperience as lav or, soldier and speaker
of the Ohio house; nevertheless, at the end
of his third congress he goes out. Texas

"My father," sRfs a Colorado judge,
"was a .stern, exacting man, who dkl not
seem to think a boy on a farm needed any
time to go fishing or to haat woodchucks.
He was also a beLever in the free tiseof the

"One week my father had to leave home
to be gone t hree days. He took me out to
a field of potatoes and said, 'John, I want
you to hoe those potatoes while I am gone.
I shall be gone just three days. You can
do it in that time if you arc spry.'
'As soon as father was gone I went out
and looked the field over. It was just the
season of trout fishing in our region. I
said,Sho, I believe Ican hoe that field in
two days easy enouhf So I went off and
fished all the first day.
"The second day I went ont and looked
the ground over, -jad said, 'I bebeveif I get
up early and work real hard I can hoe
thnse potatoes in one day.' So I went and
fished all the second day.
"The third morning I went out, and the
field seemed to have grown twice &s big is
the night. I said, 'I can't do it ia one day
the best I can work, and father will lick
me for fishing two whole day, aayhowr" ;
So I went and fished the third day
The judge doasn t tell whether he ilnaily
hoed the potatoes or not, bnt he has cer

Overcome by Woman.
There were four pretty tough, looking
cnaracters sitting on bench in Battery
park the other day relating their adventures
to each other. One had been in a mutiny
at sea; a second had been & terror to a whole
county, and a third intimated that he had
once trained wifh a band of pirates. The
fourth was a lanky, long faced man with
t sunken chest, and when the others had
anished he said:
"Gentlemen, why was I run ont of Chi
vajo? Because the papers called me a holy
Iwror and put the police on to me. You
probably remember of tbe five policemen
prho were found dead in a bunch? I had to
o it."
"Of course you did," they assented.
"Why did the governor of Kansas set a
price on my head 810,000, dead or alive?
xou probably saw in tbe papers that only
ane man out of the thirteen in the sheriff's
posse returned alive? Didn't want to do
H, but had to."
"Certainly; just our case," they replied.
"I'd like to go to St. Louis," he contin
ued, "but it wouldn't be prudent. You
probably saw the account of my stealing a
steamboat and runnin x her off?"
"Of course we saw," replied the three.
The lanky man was ready to rotate an
other chapter of his life when a lame
foman with a few pj:irs in a basket came
long and said:
"Come, now, move along, and give me a
ait of the bench."
No one moved. They hardly realized her
presence. They were busy thinking what
desperate mec they were.
"And that's the kind of gentility ye show
a poor, lame woman, is it!" exclaimed the
indignant female, and dropping her basket,
she seized them one after the other and
flung them into the middle of the path.
As the last one went she sat down in the
middle of the, bench, got a brace for her
feet and continued:
"Aud now let's see the whole four of yez
trot mo out of this!"
They didn't try. Humbly, meekly and
lamblike they sauntered away to find an
other bench, totally ignoring the fact that
they were desperate men of decided vil

Motive Power of the "World.
Four-fifths of the engines now working
in the world have been constructed during
the last twenty-five years. France owns
47,500 stationary engines, 7,000 locomotives
and 1,650 steamboat engines. Germany has
10,000 locomotives of all kinds, 59,000 sta
tionary engines and boilers and 1,700 ship
and steamboat engines. Austria has 12,
000 stationary engines and 2,800 locomo
tives. The force equivalent to tho working
power steam engines represent: In the
United States, 7,500,000 horse power; ic
England, 7,000,000 horse power; in France,
8,000,000 horse power; in Austria, 1,500,000
horse power, and in Germany, 4,500,000
horse power. In these ficures the motive
power of locomotive engines is not in
cluded, whose number in all the world at
the beginning of 16D0 was 105,000, repre
senting a total of between 5,000,000 and
7,000,000 horse power; for the sake of con
venience we will say G,000,000 horse power,
which, added to the other powers enumer
ated above, gives us a total of 40,000,000

Keep Oat of Debt.
Every one who has a fixed income of any
land am and ought to regulate his ex
penditures so as to bring them within it.
This is a habit which should be inculcated
in the very earliest years. The child with
an allowance for his pleasures, be it ever
so small, should never be suffered to ex
ceed it or to draw upon the future. The
youth should be taught to undergo any
self denial rather than to borrow the
money to obtain a gratification. There is
more true independence iu this lesson than
iu hundreds of shouts or boasts of liberty,
which too often only convey the idea of
casting off duty and Obligation.
Such instruction, how ever, will bousele-v
while example points the other way. The
father and mother who live beyoud their
means, who incur debt for the pleasures ol
the table or of dress, or for tho vanity of
competing with neighbors aud keeping ur
a certain style of living, or for private in
diligence of any kind, need never expect to
cultivate in their child an honorable de
termination to owe no man anything.

A Primitive Town.
The picturesque inland town of South
port, which has attracted so many visit
ors by its primitivoness und refreshing sea
breezes, possesses no town hull, town
pump nor town crier; neither does it boost
nny physician, undertaker, grave stone
dealer, lawyer or barber; nor on its streets
and highways can be found any black
smith shop, apothecary shop, milliner's
shop, shoo dealer's establisiimcnt, jewel
er's store or fish market; nor is there any
settled pastor to diiiiene gospel truths o
the people, but still the town gets on ver
well. The church pulpit is occupied abot:
every Sunday, and when the .services of any
professional gentleman are needed he i
summoned from the next town. The peo
ple live quietly but comfortably, and they
learn to do without many things that most
people count among the necessaries of life.

writes a veteran traveler, being of the Eau
tyre, a hunter and a hairy man, I have
tested the burlr- cf many nations, and
bought their facial implements, too. The
razor of India, though a clunwy looking
emi-discof steol on a straight handle, does
its work, in native hands, on scalps (as a
religious rit and on rough faces, very
neatly and comfortably bv merely moist

primitive instrument crashed my chin

That's -what you ought to know about
the thing you wash with. What good
soap doesn't hurt, Pcarlinc cannot.
That's only part of the truth. Pearl
ine washes and cleans without the
rubbing and scrubbing that wear
things out without the work
that makes women old. Half
your labor js spared by it ; twice
the work is done with it;
time and money are saved by
it "Nothing but the truth" is
the best policy for us ; " noth
ing but Pearline" is the best
policy for you ; but perhaps
you use Pearline. Millions do.
