of too officers of "the chief of the Ba

white men on th 3 Congo bring homo few
stories that surpass in interest thoso tlio
natives tell of the time when the un
known whites first came among them,
and of the commotion these strangers,
with their wonderful trade goods and
their stilt tiorc astonishing weapons,
everywhere prod weed.
“We had never seen a white man,”
said Muele, whose tribe, thickly populat
ing the river bank for many miles, num
bers over 100,000 people. “We had not
the slightest idea that euch beings ex
isted. One day, some dozen moons ago
[it wa 3 on Feb. 14, 1877], at the moment

themen, even to their heads, werocov

it very singular, for tho richest chiefs wo
know wore only a little rag made of
banana fiber; and a fact that was abso
lutely new to us, and that upset all our
notions of liummiity, was tho sight of
two white beings, yes, as white command as our
pottery clay, who appeared to have
the expedition. They seemed to but
about tho same form as other men,
their hail’, their eyes and their color were
very strange to us.
< ‘Wo asked one another, Wore not these
men envoys from Ibanza, tho mysterious
spirit, and why did thoy so suddenly ap
pern-upon our river? Their purpose could
only bo bad, for suddenly they landed on
an island opposite us, instead of coming
to our shore, a 3 all peoplo did whoso in
tentions were not hostile. At first, before
we wore able to seo them distinctly, we
thought they were an expedition from
our enemies of Mobeka. Our alarm
drams sounded, and wo crowded to our
canoes, all ready for a fight But fee
clothing of the warrors, the strange form
of their weapons, and the unheard of
aspect of tho white men soon undeceived
us. Stfll, we launched our canoes and

“I can bear tho heat very vrelV’said a
student forced to spend a cummer In the
city, “but I cannot endure tho noise.”
Possibly ho did not stop to consider that,
in making such a declaration, ho placed
himself in illustrious company. Thomas
Carlyle “could not abido” a noise, espe¬
cially that of tho morning crowing of
cock 3 . Wallenstein, accustomed as he
wa 3 to tho din of battle, had an uncon¬
querable dread of the barking tho largo of dogs,

fashionable in his day. In order to in¬
sure quiet, ho engaged twelve patrols to
make regular circuits about his house

Neither Julius Caesar nor tho crowing philoso¬
pher, Kant, could tolerate the
of poor chanticleer, who, indeed, seems
to have very fow friends among tiro studi¬
ous and sensitive. Schopenhauer exceeds
almost all lovers of quiet in the extrava
ganco of his denunciation of noise. He
declares that tho amount which a man
can boar with eaao is in inverso ratio to
his mental power.
“If I hear a dog barking for hours oa

know well enough what kind of brains I
may expect from its inhabitants.”—

A SECRET WORTH KEEPING.
It is a Into hour in the lobby ol
same hotel. A man conies iny
around and bows to a few ao«
quamtanoes. Thera is something in
his appoaraneo, m his dress, which
works tho impression that he has
scon better days. An acquaintance
says, “Lot me introduce Major
Steele.”
“Dr. Steele, if you please,” the
man whom I bayc described says u»
a courtly way.
Dr. Steele was at the head of the
calvary that was hurrying Jefferson
Davis away from tho pursuing yam
keps when the head 0 ! the lost cause
was overtaken. Majoi Steele bed
charge of tho funds of the oonfeder-*
acy. He had the gold, for although
Lee’s men were starving and dying
from hunger ns rapidly as they were
from the effects of bullets, the vaults
of th* confederacy at Richmond were
filled with pold. ;You have Often
heard and seen the inquivy in print,
“What became of the gold that was
taken away from Richmond iWien
Davis left it?” I am to’d that Maj.
Steele could answer that if he wanted
to. There is a story that he divided
it among the ofliaers designated b j
Davis. Steele’s lips aro silent on
that subject.—New York Letter to

A SCHEME TO DEFEND HARa
BORS.
Tho rich men of Philadelphia have
more money than they know what
to do with, aud are looking tor now
investments for it. Thef have of A
scheme for defending the harbors
that city, and tbe harbors of other
cities against the fleet of an enemy,
aud they are trying to interest tbs
government in it, They insist that
it is far ahead of torpedoes and earth
works lor defensive purposes, and
that if they aro gives a chance they
will demonstrate that that they can
make any city as safo from the iron*
clads of European navies, as it were
a thousand mile from the sea.
Thev have formed a company to
operate their scheme, and have io«
duced the government to order Ad¬
miral Luce to make an examination
of tbe Philadeldbia harbor, with a
with a view to testing their scheme
What they proposo to do is this:
Perforated irou pipes are to be sank
ia the b»d of the river, and the ap*
proaches the harbor, and through
these petroleum is to be forced to the
surface of the water by maohinkry,
aud a a high pressure. In this way
tb? whole surface of the riyer oan
bo covered for miles aud miles with
blazing oil, which can be driven as
a ships mast, and with such force
into a fleet as to make the passage
of even iron clad vessels through it
impossible.
The scheme is one 10 appeals to
the imagination rather than the
reason. All that is necessary to
inspire the people with confidence in
it, however, is the assertion that the
machinery to drive the oil through
tbe perforated pipes is to be ran by
the Keely moto — Ex,
