During tho last two years bo said, Mr.
Stnnloy baa been lint suddenly, and
suddenly an anthem of praise had as

with Ills offoris crowned with success.
"Ho is hero to rosumo his locturo
course," said Mr. Di-pcw, "and Mr.
Stanley In that interval has given to
tho world a continent for Christianity
and civilization."
Mr. Stanloy was roceived with long
continued applause. Ho opened with a
graphic drawing of tho groat and
gloomy forests through which they had
marched for 100 days, llo spoke of tho
great height of tho trees; tbolr density
of growth and tbo leafy vines, Tbo
forest, which was dark at noonday, bo
came dreadful in a storm. Tbo forest,
tho tempest and tho darkness had pro
duced their effects on tho minds of tho
people with him. II" described bow
rapturous tho men wero when thoy
emerged from the great fo-ost. Hut
thoy stopp-d to scowl at the denso
woods they had left. Thero avo many
inhabitants in tho region, but thoy
rould bo clastod into tho tall In
habitants and tho pigmies. Tho
tall natives occupy tho clearings, tho
pigmies aro found in groups in tho for
ests. Tho different tribes of each aro
distinguished by marks, somo having
tattoo marks on their foreheads, and
others on their chpuk. Tbolr jewelry
Consists of crocrodilo, monkey or human
tooth chiefly, and their dresi is a
pleco of bark about four foot
long and a fow Inches wido
which they luck into a girdle.
They have for weapons, spears, knives,
batlln axes and sometimes swords. Tho
pigmies aro nomadic. Tho largo in
habitants ' build compact villages with
ono principal street, which is generally
filled with goals and fowl. Thoro aro
novortheloss cannibals, but thoy do not
food on their relatives or friends.
During their journey thoy had capt
urcU hundreds of natives who assisted
them in directing thorn to banana
groves and othor places for procuring
food, but thoy roleased them after tho
expedition had passed beyond tbo ter
ritory of thoso they had captured as
they woro thenceforth useless to thorn.
Tbo pigmies who reached about up
to a full grown man's waist, havo
abundant food as well as thn larger na
tives. Thoy havo many kinds ot fruits,
somo of them as largo as watermelons.
They catch elephants in pit-falls and
other animals good for fool arc abund
ant. Ill) considered theo people tho
lowest of tho human race morally.
Their gratitude is as short-lived as a
bulldog's.
Ono dav thoy caught a beautiful
young queen, eighteen years old, but a
pigmy. Sho was tho color of yellow
ivory. Sho had a narrow girdle at tho
waist with iron rings on it that looked
like washers. Sho had ivory ringi on
hor arms and ankles. She was used by
ono of tbo party as a servant, and sho
bccaino very docile and adept. On an
other occasion their pigmies carried in
another scout. Tho man was very
pround and strutted around with dig
nity. Thn woman carried a pack that
would bold two bushels. Tho liov bo
came a very industrious servant; a
characteristic which is rare in Africa.
Ho spoko of tho discovery of tho long-

tbolr subsequent difficulties thoro with
