Another Letter Detailing His Experi- ences After Starting for the Coast With Emin Pasha. London, Nov. 25.—Mr. Mackin- non, the president of the Emin relief committee, has received auother let- written at the camp at Kizinga Uz- inja and dated August 17th. Mr. Stanley says that Emin, with Selim Bey, seven officers and 65 people, ar- rived at his camp on February 17th. Lieut. Stairs arrived on the 18th with his column from Ituri. At a meeting on the 18th Selim, who had retaken Dufile from the Mahdists, killing 250 of them, stated on behalf of the deputation that they had come to request time to allow the equatorial troops and their families to assemble at Kavalli. Mr. Stan- ley continues: “I explained through Emin Pash: the object of my expedition and of- fered them a promise, written in Arabic, to wait a reasonable time for them to join me. The deputa- tion replied that my offer was satis- factory. They said they would pro- ceed directly to Wadelai and pro claim it and commence the work of | transportation. The deputation started for Wadelai on the 26th. Emin returned on the 27th with his little daughter Ferida, anda caravan | of 144 men. He and I agreed that} 20 days was a reasonable time. He offered a written undertaking, which I declined. The interval was occu- pied by Surgeon Parke in healing} our sick. So devoted and skillful; was he that I was able, on April 1, to turn out 280 able-bodied men, whereas in February it would have | been difficult to muster 200.” Stanley then bitterly complained of the immense loads of property the refugees brought in, entailing endless work upon his men to bring to the plateau, and which was prac- tically rubbish, because it must be abandoned on the march. On March 1 he ordered the stuff to be stopped from being brought to camp. Thir- teen hundred and fifty-five loads had already been brought in. A month after Selim’s departure a letter ar- rived from him aunouncing that rebels, officers and everybody were unanimous to depart for Egypt un- der Stanley’s escort. Stanley, now finding great delay likely in assembling the refugees, called a council of the officers and stated in detail the position of the case; also the danger of trusting the rebels implicitly as Emin was inclin- ed to do, when they had already boasted of their intention, with ca- joling words, to entrap Stanley and strip his expedition. Finally Stan ley asked the officers whether he would be justified in waiting beyond April 10. Each officer repliedin the negative. “There Pasha,” I said “you have your answer. We march on the 10th. In reply to Emin’s qustion I said we could certainly, in our con- science, acquit him of having aban- doned the people, if they had not ar- rived. Then, afew days later, Emin troubled about the Casatis’ scruples as to whether they were justified if they abandoned the people ” \ Stanley dealt atlength with these difficulties, convincing Emin that food was plentiful and the Egyptians living in concord. The natives showed no disposition to depart. On April 5 Emin inform- ed me that but few of servants would go. “Here wasa disappvintment.”| exclaims Stanley. “Out of 10,000 only afew were willing to accom | pany me. We all had our eyes open- ed; it was a farce on the part of the | Wadelia force. It was clear that the Pasha no longer had authority. Yet Emin was obstinate in his belief of them. But now the Pasha said |°°D at an altitude of 8,000 fect! gi have a fondness for photc- | touching that particular section and | never mind, Ican do with two ser- | vants as well as 50.

Emin had ; ‘also received news of a bad state of | things at Wadelai. Therefore I de-| i cided upon immediate action. I form-| led a square of riflesand assembled ‘all the Pasha’s people within it. | Those who refused to come were ar-— rested and placed in irons and som e} | -: R. R.

During the | time there were also several plots | mooted, only one of which was realiz- ed. The ringleader,a freed slave, was tried by court martial and executed. | “An intercepted letter of Selim revealed auother plot to attack the | expedition. On May 7 a leetter was | received from Selim containing va- rious insolent charges against us and an appeal to wait longer for them, the rebels having robbed them of all | their amunition.” Stanley replied, offering to go slowly so as to enable them to over- take him, but he never heard any more from Selim. “We resumed the march on May 8 and adopted a route skirting the the Balegga mountains, 40 miles from Nyanza. Arriving at the south ern end of the mountians, we had a | successful encounter with the King | of Ungoro, which cleared the route as far as the Semliki River.” Then follows a description of a snowy range seen the year before and the Valley of the Semliki, with its enormous grass plain. “The ripening grasses made the people, and even one of our own officers, mistake it fora vast lake.” He de- scribes the Semliki as a powerful stream, 80 to 100 yards wide. “Crossing the river,” he says “the Warasmas attacked us with a well directed volley, but fortunately | without casualty.” He gives a pic turesque description of the snowy mountain, which he estimated at be-; tween 18,000 and 19,000 feet.

The other assented and added: “Now, suppose that to save my trousers I should take them ‘ off and hurry up street in my draw- ers, wouldn't the community be shocked? Yet I should be just as much dressed as her ladyship.” Ballard’s Horehound Syrup. We desjreto call your atteation toa remarkable article which we are selling a large amount of.

Stephens Before the | P&Pers to politics, to base ball and Missouri State Beard of Agriculture. Three-fourth of the subscribers to Missouri newspapers are farmers. Thee-fourths of themoney that goes into the pockets of Missouri editors and publishers comes from farmers— either directly or indirectly. Three fourths of the interest of theaverage Missouri newspapers is in the farm- er,and three-fourths of its aim ought, therefore, to be to please him—not by demagogic appeals to his prejudices, but by publishing that which will instruct, interest and profit him. It is a just criticism of a majority of newspapers that these facts are not fully appreciated. Too much space is devoted to matter that in- terests and pertains to the towns and not enough to that which concerns the farmers. The editor is too apt to be occupied with those he comes in frequent contact,and to give them undue attention to the neglect of the farmer, who, though remote, is of equal value. A personal exper- ience of twenty years in the manage: ment of a newspaper leads to a confession of this error which, it is believed, is not uncommon with a large majority of publishers. Much news, in fact most news, is of common interest to all classes. Polities. the legislature, congress, crime, religion, the courts; and hap- penings of all kinds are limited to no! special element, but there is certain | information in which the farmers possesses particular interest The markets, sales of real estate, sales and shipments of stock, the crops, the discussion of divers subjects at- taching to agriculture—these per- tain peculiarly to the farmer. To; gather and edit them requires ener- gy. ability and judgement. For this reason they are largely over- | looked. Each weekly newspaper ought to be as nearly as possible a} compendium of all the land sales | and stock sales held in the county | during that week. It will cause the | paper to be sougnt for as nothing} else will. It is the most valuble information that can be furnished the farmers. It is uot only interest ing to him as news, but it is an un- erring indication of the current val- ues of that which he has to sell, and and hence it is actual money in his pocket. That news in any paper| which possesses real money values to its subscribers is the most profit- able—will return it more tenfold over than the news which pleases, or gratifies curiosity. Every newspaper should set apart one or two colums of its space to an intelligent discussion of agricul- tural and household topics, which should be orignal if possible, but in | | | gossip, were set apart for solid agri- jcultural reading they would exper- ience a great boom in their circula- tion. No less urgent are the obligations of the farmers to the newspapers. Every farmer should subscribe for his local paper. In this progressive age no man can expect to maintain himself in prosperous condition, who does keep posted touching the cur- rent events of the day, especially of his own locality. Among the most potent reasons in explanation of the want of a just recognition of farm- ers’ rights and interests is that they do not keep themselves sufficiently informed. The farmer may utilize the local newspaper to great advantaged by furnishing it with his views ard ex- perience and every farming commu- nity would be greatly benefitted if farmers would avail themselves of opportunities offered. by the news- papers. Let two farmers meet and listen to their conversation: It is a constant interchange of views and inquiries touching their experience and methods. | Why not publish all in the paper and give the communi- ty the benefit of i? There is no de nying the power of the press. Al! branches of business recognize and use it. None need it more than the farmers. Agriculture is rapidly be- ceming a science. More skill and intelligence, a broader range of in- formation anda clearer judgement are demanded to do successful farm- ing than are required by any other pursuit or occupation. The cheap- ness of newspapers and the multi- plicity ef publications place it with- in the power of the farmer to keep himself thoroughly informed touch- ing all inatters pertaining to his business. The tendency of the age is to eice vate the industries, especially agri- culture; and this cen only be done by the farmer educating himself in all the methods of his vocation. The newspaper is the great educator. He should use in. About His Brother. Several years ago my brother, who lives with me, had a very strange sore to break out on his leg—about half way between the body and the knee—which afterwards developed into rose cancer. It resulted from a bruise made by the rubbing of the stirrup-leather while riding. The cancer continued to grow un- til it was about five inches long and three wide. The flesh sloughed off, black, rotien and foul, and it was al- most impossible to procurer servant that would wait upon him, the air in the room where he lay being 80 foul that it would sicken anyone who entered. Every physician of any prominence in the state was every event practical and pertinent. No one quicker than the farmer de tects inaccuracies or absurdities of statement touching his own vocation and the frequent appearance in the ble, theoretical stuff concerning ag- riculture has done more than any one thing to cultivate the common prejudice against “book farmers.” Original contirbutions from local farmers are preferable, but if the latter can not be induced to write, secure their views by interviewing them upon subjects of practical ag- ricultural interest. Thus the news- peper may be made the forum where- your tamily are afflicted don’t put off until too late, try this grand remedy. Da. E.
