A TEKKIBLK JOIKXKV. 1 he foilowinp; thrilling narrative Is i ll ea from Sir Suruuel V. Baker's ac count of his travels in search of tho Nile sources, published in the last vol ume of the Standard Library, London, under the title, "In the Heart of Afri ca.1' Mr. Raker was accompanied throughout by his wife, and at the point where this narrative begins the party were but a few days' journey from the lource of the Kile: On the morning of tho second day we had difliculty in collecting porters, thse of tho preceding day having ab sconded; and others were recruited from distant villages by tho native es cort, who enjoyed the excuse of hunt ing for porters, as it gave them an op portunity of foraging throughout tho neighborhood. Duriug this timo we had to wait until tho sun was high; we thus lost the cool hours of morning, and it increased our fatigue. Having at length started we arrived in the af ternoon at the Kafoor river, at a bend from the south where it was necessary to cross over in our westerly course. The stream was in tho 'center of a marsh, and, although deep, it was cov ered with thickly-matted water-grass Hnd other aquatic plants that a natur al floating bridge was established by a t pet of weeds about two feet thick. 'i on this waving and unsteady sur- o the men ran quickly across, sink- .r: merely to the ankles, although bo ne; th tho tough vegetation there was deep water. It was equally impossible to ride or to be carried over this treacherous sur face; thus I led tho way, and begged Mrs. Baker to follow mo on foot as quickly as possible, precisely in my track. Tho river was about eighty yards wide, and I had scarcely com pleted a fourth of the distanco and .ooked back to see if my wifo followed close to me, when I was horrified to see her standing in one spot and sink ing gradually through tho weeds, while her faco was distorted and per fectly purple. Almost as soon as I per ceived her she fell us though shot dead. In an instant I was by her side, and with the assistanco of eight or ten of my men, who were fortunately close to mo, I dragged her like a corpso through ibo yielding vegetation; and up to our waists we scrambled across to tho oth er side, just keeping her head above tho water. To have carried her would hrve been impossible, as wo should all have sunk together through tho weeds. I laid her under a tree and bathed her head and face with water, as for tho moment 1 thought slio had fainted; but sho lay perfectly insensible, as though dead, with teeth and hands firmly clinched, and her eyes open but fix ed, ft was a coup dc soldi a sun stroke. Many of the porters had gone on ahead with tho baggage, and I started ofT a man in haste to recall an angarep upon which to carry her and also for a bag with a change "of clothes as we had dragged her through the river. It was in vain that I rubbed her heart and the black women rubbed her feet to restore animation. At length the litter came, and after changing her clothes she was carried mournfully forward as a corpse. Constantly as we had to stop and sup port her head, a painful rattling in the throat betokened wuil'ocation. At length we reached a village aud halted for the night. I laid her carefully in a miserable hut, and watched beside her. I opened her clinched teeth with a small wooden v dge aud inserted a wet rag, upon Aieh I dropped water to moisten her gue. which was dry as fur. Tho feeling brutes that composed tho na e escort were yelling and dancing . though all were well, and I ordered tin ir chief to at once return w,ith them to Kamrasi, as I would travel with them do longer. At tirst they refused to return, until at length I vowed that I would lire into them. Day broke, and it was a relief to have got rid of tho brutal escort. They had departed, ai'd I now had my own men and tho guides supplied by Kamrasi. There was nothing to cat in this spot My wife had never stirred since sho fell by the coup dc soldi, and merely respired about five times in a minute. It was impossible to remain; the peo ple would have starved. Sho was laid gently upon her litter, ami we started forward on our funereal course. 1 was ill and broken-hearted, and I followed by her side through the long day's march over wild park lauds and streams, with thick forest and deep, marshy bottoms, over undulating hills aiid through the valleys of tall papyrus rushes, which, as we brushed through tbem on our melancholy way, waved over the litter like tho black plumes of a hearse. We halted at a villago and again tho night was passed in watching. 1 was wet and coated with mud from tho swampy marsh and shivered with ague; but the cold within was greater than all. No change had taken place; sho had never moved. I hud plenty of fat, and I made four balls of about half a pound, each of which would burn for three hours. A piece of a broken water jar formed a lamp, several pieces of rag aerying for wicks. So in solitudo the still calm night passed awav as 1 est by her sido and watched. In tho drawn and distorted features tliut lay before me I could scarcely trace the same faco that for years had been my comfort through all th dillieulties and dsngers of my path. Wan she to dieP Was so terrible a saci-ilioo to bo the re sult of my sellish exile? Again the night passed away. Once more the march. Though weak aud ill, and for two night's without a moment's slen, I felt no fatigue, but mechanically followed by tho side of YHti JJA1LY the litter as 'though in a dream. The same wild country diversified with marsh and forest! Again we halted. The night come, and I sat by her sido in a miserablo hut, with tho feeble Jamp flickering while sho lay as in death. She had never moved a muscle since she fell. My peoplo slept 1 was alone, and no sound broko the stillness of the night. Tho ears ached at tho utter silenco, till tho sudden wild cry of a hyena made mo shudder as the horrible thought rushed through my brain that, should sho bo buried In this lonely spot, tho hyena would disturb her rest. Tho morniug was not far distant; it was past 4 o'clock. I had passed the night in replacing wet cloths upon her head and moistening her lips, as sho lav apparently lifeless upon her lit ter. I could do nothing more; in soli tude and abject misory in that dark hour, in a country of savage heathens. thousands of miles away from a Chris tian land, I beseeched an aid abovo all human, trusting alone to Him. The morning broke; niv laniD had just burned out, and cramped with tho : -1. 1 .. i : t . i uigm a waiciuug i rose irom my low seat and seeing that sho lay in tho same unaltered state I went to the door of tho hut to breathe one gasp of tho fresh morning air. I was watching tho first red streak that heralded tho riwing sun, when I was startled by tho words: "Thank God," faintly uttered behind me. Suddenly sho had awoke from her torpor, and with a heart over flowing I went to her bedside. Her eyes were full of madness! She spoke, but the brain was gone! I will not inflict a description of tho terrible trial of seven days of brain fe ver, with its attendant horrors. Tho rain poured in torrents, and day after day wo were forced to travel for want of provisions, not being able to remain in one position. Every now and then we shot a few guinea fowl, but rarely; thcro was no game, although tho coun try was most favorable. In the forests we procured wild honey, but tho de serted villages contained no supplies, as we were on the frontier of Uganda, and M'teso's peoplo had plundered tho district. For seven nights I had not slept, and although as weak as a reed, I had marched by tho sido of her litter. Nature could resist no longer. Wo reached a villago one evening. She had been in violent convulsions successive ly, it was all but over. I laid her down on her litter, within a hu cover ed her with a Scotch plaid and fell up on my mat insensible, worn out with sorrow and fatigue. My men put a new handlo to the pickaxo that even ing and sought for a dry spot to dig her grave! The sun had risen when I woke. I had slept, and horrified as tho idea flashed upon mo that she must be dead, and that I had not been with her, 1 started up. She lay upon her bed, pale as marble, aud with that calm serenity that the features assume when tho cares of lifo no longer act upon tho mind and the body rests in death. The dreadful thought bowed mo down; but as I gazed upon her in fear, her chest gently heaved.'not with the convulsive throbs of fever, but naturally. Sho was asleep; aud when at a sudden noiso sho opened her eyes, they wore calm and clear. Sho was savedl When not a ray of hope remained, God alono knows what helped us. Tho gTatitudo of that moment I will net at tempt to describe. Sfyra Clarke Gaines. Myra Clarko Gaines, tho widow of tho Jate Gen. Gaines, has for tho past lifly years been trying, through tho courts, to prove her right to property which actually belongs to her, and about which the Supreme Court of tho United States has decided in her favor, but now comes somo technical flaw about bonds. Tho little woman, has seen 76 years, but has tho appearance of being only 50, with her fair complex ion, bright black eyes, that never look through glasses to decipher the finest print or to use her pen, which she is doing, and tho result will bo her auto biography, which cannot help but bo an interesting work. With all her trouble and opposition, sho docs not show any vindictiveness or bitterness, is amiable, generous, and a truo friend to the poor. While relating to us tho experiences of her trial, she would vibrate about tho room, gesticulating in an amusing manner. She avows that she can out talk, oullaugh, outwalk any woman under tho Bun, and boasts of having monopolized tho conversation -when Mmo. LeVeit was of the company, much to tho chagrin of that renowued foreigner. When tho question of tho illegiti macy of Mrs. Gaines' birth was intro duced in court, sho pleaded her own case in tho presence of more than a thousand people, which plea brought every member of tho jury to her side. Sho says "God never repented having mado woman, but ho saw that man was a decided failure, and was sorry that ho had created him." She is always a woman's champion, believing in her rights, which sho says must come, and tho rights of franchise, on which sub ject sho has talked in public to thou sands of attentive listeners. "If," said she, "I had been a man I should have adopted tho medical profession, because for it I inherit both taste and talent." She restored her daughter to perfect health after tho physicians had pronounced her beyond cure. Mrs. Gaines' father, Daniel Clarke, was a nativo of New Orleans, aud in that city ho is buried. In her early maidenhood sho became tho wife of William Wallace Whitney, of New York, but in a few years was widowed. She says: "Gen. Gaines was greater than Clay, Calhoun, or Webster, and his last" words to mo were: "lour cause is just and you must succeed." Although her father was born in Louisiana and her husband in Virginia, sho has nover known any North or South, but has idolized her whole country. Her first benevolent work will be to build a widows' home, tho next an orphan asylum, if the greedy lawyers do not "gobble up" all she se cures. Tho charges in tho caso thus far for fees, (stenographers, writs, and counsel fees have already been over Cf'll If I I Ifll, Ml . . ... t""'.iIW. j 110 printed record will cost fl-'.OW.

" CAIRO HULLKTLN: SATURDAY MORNING MAY CLEANINGS. Tho Massachusetts House has p:ncd a bill forbidding companies to di-eriiu-inato against the colored race in the rates for insuring lives. Somo crank has written to tho p.-troit 'J'inun solemnly asserting that the lire which recently destroyed its ollice was a visitation of Providence. Holding a cartridge between her lingers, Julia Tegg, of St. Louis, be gan experimenting with a lighted match. The explosion cost her two fingers and a thumb. William Nowlaud, King of the Ork ney gypsies, has just died at the age of 102, und his widow, nged over 'jofwas able to smoke a pipe vigorously durhi" tho funeral services. " London has seventy-six guilds, en dowed by wealthy benefactors for the benefit of the dill'erent trades, and their trust propertv alone vieids an income of 200,000 annually. " It has been decided that the inscrip tion placed upon the bust of Beacons field, in Westminster Abbey, shall bo simply: "Lord Beaconsfield, twico Premier of England." Captain Rodney Baxter, of Hyannis. Cape Cod, offers to pay $500 "to any person who will produce a materialized spirit in my presence, within my reach, a witness being present, and that will there remain even live minutes." Jay Cooke, whoso fortune was swept away by the crash of 1873, is to-day one of the wealthiest men of Pennsyl vania. Ho has investments in iron, coal, gold, and siiver mines, and rail roads reaching far into the millions. Justice Massev. of Brooklyn, has sent Miss Kuiily Vogel, eighteen years of age, to the penitentiary to complete a reunion of the family, ail of whom, father, mother, two brothers, and a sister, had preceded her to that estab lishment. In tho eijy of New York alono it is estimated that there are at present no fewer than 400 millionaires, thirtv of whom own from 5, 000,000 to f jO.OOO, 000 apiece, wbilo there are about ten wno possess from ,30,000,000 to ifloU, 000,000 each. Travelers ravo about the soft purple light which fills Italian skies and gives a peculiar beauty to Italian mountains. Tho light has now been discovered on tho mountains of Southern California, and tourists are so informed by tho railroad companies interested. T. B. Aldrich is taken to task for making the word Niol (in desciibiug a Marcchal Niol roso in a poem in the May Atlantic) rhyme with "steel." His critics urge that the French word' Niel of two syllables might rhvmo with "well" or "dwell," but hardly with "steel." There is a birch tree in York, Maine, only about forty feet high, two roots of which have been able to lift, sonio twelve inches, a block of granite com puted to weigh twenty tons. Tho treo is still growing, and the rock continues to bo raised and pushed sideways at the rate of nearly an inch a year. A little boy was buried in Meridian, Miss., the other day, and behind tho hearso in tho funeral procession walked his pony with its saddle draped with crape. Strangers even looked with moistened eyes upon tho little fel low's pet, upon which ho had been often seen to ride through tho streets but a littlo while ago. Tho general rulo of law is that a person having a pecuniary interest in a will is disqualified from acting as a subscribing witness thereto. In are- cent case before the Supreme Court of Iowa this rule was sought to e extend ed to a caso where the witness was a corporator of a charitable institution and a distributee upon the dissolution thereof, tho will containing a bequest thereto, l lie Court declined to so ex tend the rule. A scientific physician says: "In tho morning there is an acrid stale of tiio secretions, and nothing is so well cal culated to correct it as peaches, apples, etc. Tho small seed fruits, such as figs, blackberries, raspberries, may be classed among the best fruiis and medi cines. The sugar in them is nutritious, the acid purifying and the seeds laxa tive. We should look more to our gardens for our medicines and less to our drug stores." Tho New York Graphh says: "San Francisco and Chicago have been using cable surface railroads for many years past. New York now talks" about adopting the system. Isn't this really reversing tho order of things? Does the star of progress take its way East? Is it not possible that somebody here has invented something a great deal better than that which our young folks out West are calling already half obso lete?" Tho president of the French repub lic sent somo littlo time ago to tho French embassador at ConsTantinoplo three handsome cimeters made in exact imitation of the much-prized Damascus blades, for presentation to the sultan's threo sons. An Oriental potentate re ceiving a present from such a quarter would probably have preferred somo product of European art to a counter feit of what he can get better at home. "If you want to make an Englishman a present," says a French paper, criti cising M. Grevy's gift, "you would not oiler him a dozen of pale ale, an arlielo ot Sheffield cutlery, or a coat made bv Poole." 3 Utah has now 10,000 small farms averaging twenty-five acres, and tho whole must bo irrigated. There is only ono large farm in tho territory, and it is owned by a company. Tho Great Salt Lake, " according to Elder Cannon, contains enough salt to supply America for centuries. All that is nec essary in preparing it for market is to drive to the edge of the lake with a wagon, and a man with a pair of rub ber boots can load it with a shovel. Tho salt lies on tho bottom of tho lake in small, coarso crystals. After load ing it is taken to a grinding machine, and being run through it is lit for tho table. A French gentleman and ce'iolar re cently visited one of tho oldest families in Boston, who reside In one of tho oldest houses in tho suburbs, which is heated through registers in the floor. Tho visitor planted his chair over ono of these, where ho sat sweltering nnd Bwcatiujj for an hour or more', not knowing whero tho hot waves came from, and was entirely too polito to speak of his discomfort. Noticing that the others were per feel ly comfortable, he concluded that the temperature was probably not at all uncomfortable to the literati of America, which ho had often heard were extremely cold-blooded. The family were terribly mortified when they heard of how their distin guished visitor had been broiled aud rendered so uncomfortable. Ho throat ens to write a book on America. In Germany tho young man who thinks a certain young lady's father would make a good father-in-law puts on his best clothes, calls on tho old gentleman and asks for tho hand of his daughter. lie never thinks of appeal ing tirst to tho young lady. That would bo almost as great an ofl'enso against good morals as it is for tho young lady to receive gentlemen callers without her mother being present. Tho old gentleman sizes up tho you no man's pile, his prospects and tho standing of his family. If theso are satisfactory ho is then introduced to the girl as her affianced husband. Having a mortal dread of being an old maid, sho at once falls in love? They now go out together and act just as spoony on tho streets and in public places as they aro a mind to without fear of exciting special remark; where as, had they been seen on the street to gether before the engagement, sho would have been dropped from the rolls of good society, and he. would have been twitted and teased by his friends until lite would have become a burden. They go very little on love, the whole matrimonial scheme in all classes beiiif regarded as a business afl'dr. " WaMorsou and Itrijjlit, I heard, the other night, a story about Watierson, writes a correspond ent. Not long ago ho was in Indian apolis. There he sat down to a iiue of poker with "Dick" Bright, who was recently sorgeant-at arms of tho sen ate aud president of the city horse rail road. Watterson had great luck. Tho money rolled in upon him. When ho was I'botil fl.000 ahead he began to think how he would spend it. "I will ride home in the best hack this city af fords," he said. Before a great whilo he had $.3,000 in winnings. "I will drive to my hotel with four whito horsvs, and a darkey leading each one,-' was his exultant announcement. From that mom. nt his luck turned. Every cent in bis pile was gone, and Ids poeketbook began to look thin. The raiiro-id president fumbled in his pocket. Taking out a car ticket, ho nasied it across tho table. "Hero, Watterson, you said you should rido home. Put that in your pocket aud you can." Watterson walked, and still keeps the ear ticket as a reminder of t!ie night the lloosier strapped him. Put a Brand 011 Him. "Women are a necessary evil," he said, bringing down his fist hard on the counter to emphasize the heartless remark. It was in the village store at West Milton, Samto g County, and the speaker was tho central figure ot a group of bucholic philosophers. Ho was homely, slovenly and sixty. "There's where I differ from vu alto gether," said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same place. "Women are mostly what men make 'em. When husbands are brutes wives will fall into submission or make home hot for the men; and they're unnatur al in either character. Love them, and es penally be good to them when they're sick, and you'll have no trouble. There's my own wife, now. She's suffered a good ileal with dyspepsia, nervous prostration and other ailments that took the bloom off her cheeks nnd the spring out of her steps. Well, she saw an advertisement of Paiik ek's Tonic, and thought it would In- just the tiling lor her case. Gentlemen, I sent nve mih-s after a bottle. She took it. I sent asrtin alter mmo. So several times liouhief n iiy, it you c. ubl see how much good it has done her you would say that women are the greatest of God's bles-sings and Pakkkii's Tonic is the next." This preparation, which has been known as Paiikeu's Gincek Tonic, will herenltcr be called simply Pakkhi's Tonic. This change has been rendered necessary by sill stPutos imposed upon their customers bv unprincipled dealers, under the name of ginger; and as gmir is really an unimport ant llivoring ingredient, we drop the mis leading word. There is no change, however, in the prep aration itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under ti e name ot l arkeu s Ginger Ionic contain the genuine medicine if the fan simile sig nature of Hrscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
