Henry M. Stanley's Carecr. Henry M. Stanley was born in 1840 in Den- bighshire, Wales. According to some nc- counts he first saw light in a little ten o at the foot of Denbigh castle, which, with its wretched neignbors, was pulled down some years avo. According toothers, tho cott was outside of Denbigh. His mother, who died only a few years ago, was poor. IHer name wis Rowlands, and her child was bap- tized John. John’s father, her only means of support, died when the child was two years old, and the mother took a position as a vant, Johu was sent to the St. Asaph work- house. Wher he was fourteen years old he escaped from the workhouse and found his way to Liverpool, whence ho worked his way on a salling vessel to New Orleans, There ho obtained work with a Mr, H. M. Stanley,who took a great interest in the boy, and, having o children, adopted him and gave him his own name, Mr. Stanley died without mak- inga will, and his young protoge was ouce more turned adrift into the world, At the breaking out of th vilwar he joined the confederate ranks, was taken a !nri\'um'r at Pittsburg Landing, Wt succeeded in making ni e by swimming across the Mis- sissippl. Staniey returned to Liverpool, and for a short time worked there in a broker's ofice, but soon got tired of the drudgery of clerical ‘work and returned to Now York. The war was still going on, This time Stanley pre- ferred to join the federals, and enlisted on the flagship Ticonderogs. On oue occasion he swam, under a shower of bullets, from his ship, a distance of 500 yards, attached a line toa confederate steamer and ' secured her as @ prize. Ior this daring act he was made an ofticer In 1566 Stanley made a tripto Asia Minor, and the following year was sent, out west by the New York Tribune as Indian war cor- respondent. At the closo of the wars he ac- cepted a position on the New York Herald as foreign correspondent. Ho was sent to Abyssinia during the war betwoen King Theodore and the Knglish. There he made AN enormous sucees The fall of Magdala was published in the New York Herald twenty-feur hours before the oficial news reached the English government, and they first heard of it through a cable dispatch sent from Now york. How he started and how he flized and 15508 to find Livingstona succeeded, all the ciy- a great part of the un- clvilized world know. Livingstone died, and was buried in Westminster boy, Stanley acted as one of the pall- beare ixteen yearslaterhe laid a wreath on the missionary explorers grave as he passed it on his m?- to the altar to plight his troth to Miss Dorothy Teanaut. The death of Livingstone increased the tnterest the civilized world felt in Africa Another newspaper expedition was sent out, by the London Daily ‘Telesraph and the New York Herald, with™ Stanley at its head, to explore all the great lakes and rivers in the interior of “the Dark Continent,” and to penetrate into those parts whereno white man_had ever been, Again was Stanley suc- cossful, and he had only returned to England but a fow days when ho was sent for by the king of the Belwiaus, and started off to found the great Congo state, ‘What he has done since hes already been totd - the dispatches of the day. Stanley in Omaha, Henry M. Stanley camoto Omaha in the fall of 1866, He had just returned from some of the Indian wars and sought this cityns the most promising placo on the Missouri, Omaha was small, but it was full of lifo and energy. Ttrough it thousands were flocking tothe ereat country beyond, and in it hun dreds were building up fortunes which, to this day, have not been unimpaired. It was agreatnews centor. 10 it was tributary ac- countsof accidents on tho Union Pacific, which was then creeping across the prairies; murders and other outrages peculiar to bor: der civilization, and the serious fnformation regarding the movements of Indians whom the march of empire was gradually pushing toward the setting sun. Mr. Stanloy was alive to the situation. Ho got. the news and forwarded it to the alissouri Republican and the New York Herald, the Iatter the paper which Le served so well in other lands and which eventually was the means of bringing him to the attention of the people as one of the greatest explorers tho world has ever known, Those were not the days when everybody had mor Thoy were not the days when Stanley had money. Remittances came in slowly” and liviog was high. Like many another newspaper man at the time Stanley doubtless felt the want of a ready bauk ac- count and a plethoric wallet, He, however, olf to circumstances, Ho had bad slept in tents and When he had money he stopped in the hotel here. When he hadu't he found a couch down upon the tables of the Republican offico and us frequently - porhaps on the print paper which was piled "in the ress room. The Republican officoin those days was sit- uated oue door east of the entrance to the Academy of Music, now known as the Peo- ple's theater. The entrance to the academy was off the hall, from which there was an opening to one of the upper stories of the Hopubiioan office, ~ While Staaley was en loyed on the paper ho made tho office his Pesaquarters. "There ho glonod a grout deal of the nows from the wire and the exchanges which he transmitted cast and there a great deal of his matter was prepared for the ress. Ho generally used a desk, which at hat time was old “and whick, through the countless changes of management and the licy of the paper, has since been kuown as [‘l?o “Stanley desk.” Major Balcombe was, at the time, editor of the paper. It would have afforded him pleas- ure to meet Mr. Stavley but he was compelled to go to Southerland, Florida, with his fan- fly. The major remembers Mr. Stanley well and pays a tribute to his industry, his mauli- ness. his dovotion aud bis excecding ability a8 & gatheror of now The propinguity oMthe ofiice to the theater 8s also theapprciation which Mr. Stanloy possessed for the drama brought him into contact with the actors, with a number of whom be beoame very friendly. When dis- enguged, his leasure moments were spent with them and the intercourse was mutually satisfactory. His genial, frank and Learty manner couid be readily appreciated by actors who are proverbially among the most’ hearty nlrors of good fellowship in the world. 1n ore wAs astook company at the Academy playing nightly to crowided houses, Among the membors were people who have risen to fame: Jean Clara Walters, Annio Ward, George D.

Corby wasthen a man of about twenty- four years of age, thesame as that of Stan- ley. ‘He was hoardingat the old Hamiltn house on Douglas street betwoen Fonrteenth and Fifteenth. This house stoodon the south side of the street until four years ago when it was in part torn down cornice of it may now be scen upon the brick walls of the MeDonald rest nt. Corby had rented aroomin the house was paying for it and his board & He had stipulated with Loy tor, that “he was to ha sel Notwithstanding Cor found himsclf compelled to pass witha fellow who had Just c plains or who, for other reasons, was not considered n most commendablo bedfellow. Ono night Corby had returmed from a courting bee and the landlord informed him that he lad given him a new, clean bed- tellow. Corby knew that it wouldn't do to remon- strate, 5o he marched up stairs to sea whom he was compelled to domesticato with, The new man was not a groaser or acowboy either He did not wear his pautaloons in his boots, nor did he ¢ bis side. Aftor looking over hi rby wassatistied with him, They ned in the ship about six weeks, during Stanley grew in Corby's estimation. At night ho frequently wrote letters to his papers after his companion had retired, and devoted considorable timo to readmg.’ Ho was quietand gentlemanly, and although he sometimes needed money, he never had re- course to despised means (o obtain it. Corby had some deals with Stanley, and in them tho latter was perfectly veliable, The scribe, too, scomed imbued with the idea that he was destined to make his mark in the world, an_ambition which he, in more ways than one, showed hehad constantly under consid- eration. %, ofton and cquently the mnig wo across the which time Stanley left and he was missed by however, has followed : Brk in all his wanderings. Hon. Charles Brown, who was mayor of Omaha at the time, remembers Mr, Stanley well, and speaking of him, said “ilis letters were dated from some point on the line, orat a camp of the builders of the Union Pacitic railroad, and e was supposed, by those unacquainted with his whereabouts, t0 be where tho letters purported to have itten. His communications were filled with Stauley spice, and the construction of the rond, counected therewith, emoel- lished stories and facts about’ life on the plains and portraying character of those who, as adventurers, followed the building of the road and made up the population of those migratory tented towns. Tho fact i3, how ever, Heiry M. Stanley did not make many trips_over” the road nor spend much timeon the plains, Most of his letters were written in Omaha from itens he picked up here or manufactired, Making acquaintances and fricuds with easo heunsed to ~gather his m terial for writing from those who camo in from ‘the end of the road, principally from contractors and the engineers, firemen and brakemen of tho trainsof cars, If he was not alw accarate he wis enwrtaining. “As nowspaper men he and Little Mac readily became acquainted and as readily became disgusted with each other. Mac, in a goneral way, several times m_the Ouaha Herald touchied up Stanley; but -it was an article which i wroto and had published in a Council Bluffs paper that provoked the wrath of the now celebrated explorer of African jungles. “After this publication one afternoon Stanley and several of his friends were in o saloon on the east side of Thir- teenth stroet, whero John Weitzer's is now, enjoying themselves, presumably, when un- expectedly Little Mac dropped “in on them and was called to an account for what he had published in the Bluffs paper. Hot, vigorous words ensued. Stanley went for him. Mac made tracks for thedoor, his speed accele- rated by the toe of Stanley’s brogan. It was nota bloody battle, Macran to tho Herald offico, thon'on the corner of Douglas and Thirteenth streets, and proceeded to get mad. 1t was snid he secured a pistol and his thirst for blood became so intense he discharged two or three of its chambers iuto the ceiling of the Herald room. Yet discretion assauged his valor and he concluded to sail on the calm senof law rather than tempt the dangers of “pistols for two.” “I remember very well his coming over to tho mayor's ofice—then held in my brother J.J.°s building, on the corner of Fourteonth and Douglas streets—and stating to me his gricvances and wanting Stanley arrested. 1 took his complaint, issued & warrant for ar- rest and delivered it to William P, Snowden, then city marshal, for servico. Snowden at once made the arrest and brought Stanley as a prisoner before me. As it was then nearly night, ho gave bail for his appearance the next day for tnal, “At the aprointed hour he and his at- tomey, the late General Strickland and Mr. I, W. Ambrose, wereon hand, as werealso Little Mac and his attorney. The defendant de- manded a trial by jury, which without dif- ficulty obtaived.' I thiuk there were only Sixjurors; five of whom I now remem- ber—Jaies Forsyth, John McCreary, Charles Maguire, George T, Steplen und Phil Norton, Tho trial ywas dragged out to considerable length, although the facts, in conaensed form, 'were about as I have stated them. The defendaut’'s counsel triedto put in evi- dence the Bluffs newspaper articlo, whioh 1 excludea, as no legal justification for the offonse charged. But it went to the jury all the same when Stanloy's attornoys made their argument. Strick was at his best and really - made an eloguent plea. He praised tho press and then sailed in on libellers and those who abusedits freedom in defaming persons whom they disliked. I virtuaily in- structed the jury to return a verdict of guilty. An oficer was swoun to take charge of the jury—1I presume che bread and water clause was put in—and to conduct them to a room to considerof their verdict, which in those days meant for the officer and jury to remain where they were and all others to re- tire. The jury didn’t deliberate any great length of time, but camo in—that is, we who went out came iu—aud returned their ver- dict, not guilty. Thus ended the case of “Tha copje of thestate of Nebraska vs. Henry M. Stanley; complaint for assault and battery.” ! dealt with incidents Dorothy Stanley. Somewhere in tho east Mrs. Dorothy Stan- 1oy found that a friend possessed a picture of her famo::s husband as he appeared iu 1867 when a representative of the New York Her- ald stationed at. “Omaha City.” Interostod and desirous of obtaining 4 copy of the pho- tograph she wrote a charactoristio letter to Mr. E. L. Eaton, the Omaha photographer who made the negative, with tho hopes, as she expressed it, that the photographer might still be living, and the negative still intact from the tooth of time, But, alas! the nega- tive has undoubtedly long siuce found its way fnto the ash heap, and Mrs. Stanley will have tocontent horself with & copy of Ler friond’s picture as ho appeared, when yet a yoang tan, Just laying the foundation for the great fameé which has since come to him, No coubt this visit of Mrs. Stanley to Omaha will prove as great an interest to her as to the citzens who recall with pleasuro those early days in the life of the metropolis when Mr. Stanley was & familiar figure on ner streets, Maybe botween the pauses In tho love making, during the beautiful days of their boneymoon et Lady Ashburtow's plice i Hampshire, the hero told the herolne of his enrly life, his struggles, his hopos and fears during the time when fortuno almost made of him afootball. so greatly was he buffeted about, that Mvs. Stanley bas longed, sinco America was sighted from the deck of the food ship which brought them over the At- antic, to live over agaln with the hero at hor sido all the early days of his lifo and through them rejoico that the ending is so much like the good fairy tale of her childhood. Is any other woman's face so well known as thatof Dorothy Tennant! The clear cut features, standing out cameo-like against the background of the famous painting entitled, “No!" by Sir John Millais, have mude the way into hundreds of thousands of homes the world over; and having gone thus far they have finished their journey by making their way ito hundreds of thousands of hearts, It isn charming and vivacious face—the face of this brillimt English = woman, who has won theadoration of tho most famous of modern explorers. Tho face of an artist and of one who sces the petry and beauty underlying even the most common and unromantic ~ eurround- ings. A faco that has aiready won in Ame ica the same admiration when the falr, lova- ble Englishwoman stood at the altar in 'West- minster Abbey with the great captain, whose perilous explorations she had lone watched rom afar with such trembling coufidence and hopes, and listening to the words pro- nounced by Cannon Farrar and Bishop Ripon, plighted her troth, with all the great ones of the kingdom as witnessos to the solemn compact. It is a shame to burst tho romantic bubble which has been hung over Millar's colebrated picture, but trath should never be despised even if 1t does puncture now and then the fan which take deep rot in tho heart. It will- be remenbered whon the engagement of Mr, Stanley and Miss Tennant was amnounced last, spriag this country was immediately flooded with copies of a picture called ** Yes, painted by Milliis. It was stated that the hride-clect posed for the original. Sor the daily papers went sofaras towre 4 romantic tale around the picture which stated that while Miss Tennant was sitting for itshe was debating in her mnd whether she would accept Mr. Stanley or not. But alas for human vavacity | Miss Teniant was not. the originalof “Yes" but did pose for the companicn picture *No? Nor could she have been debating in her mind whether sho would become the explorer’s wite or not for af the timo the piclure was painted, some fifteen years ago sie did not know Mr. Stanley and probably had never seen him, Mo, Stanley is somewhat over thirty years of age, with a"tall, commanding figure, fair hair, blue eyes and a lovely complexion, and will indouttealy create as charming anim- pression among her own sex in Omaha as sho has done ju every city of the country where Mr. Stanley has delivered a lecture.” She is accompanicd on her tourney through the states by her mother, Mrs. Tennant, who oceuples a high social position in Until _she married snnant's life ar ago but a ve icans bad more thian heard hername. Even now there are many who kuow herouly as the wife of the African explorer. They had all scen her face in Millais' picture, but her name was unknown to them. It was in Eng- land alone, and there ouly ina select circle that the girl of the picture was known to be Dorothy Tennant. But Miss Tennaut_herself was not un- knownz far from it., Shehad for years been engaged in work of ‘such original and unique sort that her fame was buta question of time, Sho had discovered that there was a pic- turesquencss in poverty; that rags wero ro- mantic, even when modern, and she con- nectod her discovery in the form of a picture which c\'enluu“f’ became the talic of art cles in the English capital. Now additional fame has come to her which, thanks to a beautiful life, she bears very modestly, looking upon it all “as a great swoet fairy tale,” she says, ‘‘and it seomed,” speaking of her marriage, *‘as though up to the last moment it was not to be: but ill as Mr. Stanley was, hosaid: ‘I shall be there if I'die.” " The world knows how he kept his word. And here, where his life may almost be said to have begun, Henry Morton Stanley and Dorothy Stanley will hear, Noel ! noel! sound from belfry and street on Christmas morning, o harbinger of the peace which pas- sethall understanding. the best which comes after the battle is over. il B The special quality of Ayer's Fair Vigor is thatit restores the natural growth, color, and texture of the hair, It vitalizes the rootsand follicles, removes dandruff, aud heals itching bumors in the scalp, In this respect, itsur- passes all similar preparations, - Marked Interest is now shown by castern people in the settlenent of Oregon and Washington, particularly that region adjicent to Puget Sound, The reason for this is the almost unlimited resources that have lately been opened up, and the surpris- ing growth of Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and other cities and townsalong Puget Sound.
