Stanley, the heroic African explorer, Is to de¬ 
liver a hundred lectures In the large provincial

best teams In the West, and lives In a good style

Senator Thoa. A, Bay&vd lives In the country, 
near Wilmington, in the house where .Mrs. Myra 
Uuik, now Mrs. Gen. Claims, the celebrated liti¬

Some suppose that Cronin, Ttlden’s purchased 
Elector from Oregou, has bpcn entirely burnt out 
by his >an fortunate nose; others fancy that he has

and a lop-eared pelican, at Astoila, In the Fur 
Northwest.

In view of the recent death of the Imperial

eesslon, the Emperor or Japan has adopted Prince 
Savve-no-mlya, a line Intelligent boy of twelve, 
eldest son of H. i. h. Azlsugawa no-mlya, as his 
son and heir, and presented him with the cere¬

your Majesty must give your measure, because 
they are very elegant at the Court ot Berlin.” 
“ a nuisance t" said sturdy royalty. “ Count

ure to give his measure.” 
Mr. Spurgeon has changed greatly In the past 
twenty years, having become broad and thick¬ 
set.. Uls heavy brown hair, with beard and 
whiskers surrounding his face, gives him tho 
appearance of an English soa-captaln rather than 
that of one of the most noted clergyman of Eng¬ 
land. lie never had much of a clerical look, and 
has less now than ever. When becomes on the 
rostrum—for he has no pulpit,—he looks more like 
the sexton arranging tho books for the pastor 
than like the great preacher himself. 
Senator Butler of South Carolina, who Is travel¬ 
ing with the Presidential party, unconsciously 
perpetrated a good Joke during his visit to Minne¬ 
sota. On one occaBiou a person on Introduction

people In South Carolina?” Mr. Butler, without 
bctraylDg annoyance, pleasantly replied: “I 
presume you have klllpd more men than 1 have.” 
tie was unaware that he had got ahead or his 
questioner, until a hearty laugh from the by¬ 
standers suggested an Inquiry as to the cause, 
when he was informed that the man was a 
doctor. 
Priuee Albert Victor, the eldest son of the 
Prince of Wales, a boy with an erect figure and 
a heavy face, is to enter a military academy 
by-and-by. When he Is seventeen ho will go In¬ 
to the army, and, It Is said, is not unlikely to 
emulate the example of his soldler-llke uncle, 
the Duke of Counaught, and undertake at first

Interesting to learn bow these dear children are 
to earn tbelr bread !

her, though a blind, deaf-mute, to spell and read 
lu a few months, and afterward to write aud play 
skillfully on the piano, Is now nearly 50, and has 
redeemed alt the expectations formed or her 
childhood. She has a good general educalton, 
Including many advanced studies; she writes 
well, and has many mental resources. She sews 
excellently; Is acquainted with domestic duties; 
communicates freely with her frleuds, and enjoys 
life keenly. 
The man who, but for revolution, would now 
be Tycoon ot Japan, Is a student In Paris, living 
quietly as M. Tokugavva. He Is small, lithe and 
well-dressed. His income is $ 200,11110 a year, of 
which he spends a little on himself and sends the 
remainder to his followers who were ruined by 
the revolution. Very few of Ills fellow students 
Know who lie Is, Ho will learn all ho can at the 
University of Paris, and will then go to London 
to continue his studies. Eleven years ago, when 
the Japanese Embassy went to London, he, then 
a little boy, headed It, as brother or the Tycoon, 
and the Prince ot Wales went to Dover to wel¬ 
come lilrn. 
Dean Stanley, the celebrated English leader of 
the “Broad Church" party and Deau of West¬ 
minster, now on a visit to this country, stands 
perfectly still when he preaches, making no 
gestures, though he speaks impressively, one 
Sunday after returning from church he asked his 
who why people looked so Intently at. him during 
tho service. She replied: “ How could they help

ful, hut distinct.
