A Discouraging: Picture of Life on the African Coast. Says the Indianapolis News: Dr. Ralph W. Perry, whose recent return from Liberia has been noted, is still bleached, as the result of his long wrestle with Africa or coast fever, but he is gradu ally recovering his former vigor, and he proposes to begin the practice of 111481101116 m this city. He imd a rich and varied ox perionce on the African coast, aud not even the ambition to save a heathen from end hiss torment will win him back. He went out in the employ of the Episcopal Mission Board, to bo in charge of the hospital, and of the two who accompanied him one died with coast fever within three weeks after arrival, while the other was driven insane from a similar cause. Mon rovia is the capital of Liberia, being named in honor of Ptvsdent Monroe, of this coun try, and it is a town of about 5,000 people, of which number eleven are white and the remainder of mixed blood, but largely native. The business of the town is in the hands of less than a hundred persons, and the remainder of its poplatiou lives off them. Common labor is poorly remunerated. There is no plantation work, stive in the cof fee-picking season, and the negroes who were expected from the South some year ago lend shiftlese and forlorn lives, not much improved upon the native black. There is no money, and in payment of whatever laltor there is to do the laborer is compelled to take out the price in whatever is offered him. Flour, costing $4 n barrel in New York, retails at sls per barrel; muslin 35 cents per yard; milk the same price per pint, and smull pints at that; and everything else in proportion. The steamship interests are controlled by Bel gium and German firms, and the agents that are sent to Liberia to look after their commercial affairs are under contract to remain three years; but few last that long. No white man escapes an attack of African fever. It seized Perry after he had been there but a short time, but thanks to a sturdy constitu tion he was able to fight off the drat attack, and a second and third, but it kept return ing every month or two, until it finally wore him out. Its symptoms are very much like the ordinary yellow fever of the South, but, unlike the yellow fever, the fact that a man has it once is no guarantee that he is not liable to continued attacks of it. The mis sion at Monrovia is in charge of the Rov. Mr. Ferguson, who is not only a missionary but also the Bishop, and he has some twenty assistants, who are stationed at Monrovia and other points. The mission was established in 1882, and it is maintained at about a yearly cost of S3O,(XX), and Dr. Perry doubts if the conversions to date ex ceed 500. It is not a pleasant country in which to live, even for a native, and a white man migrating to this inhospitable shore, although the doctor didn't say that in as many words, might as well leave all hope behind. Bishop Ferguson is a colored man, and this accounts for bis tenacity of life:. There are two seasons of the year, dry and we't, but Perry failed to note much difference be tween the wet and dry, unless it was that in the wet season it rained day and night, while in the dry it only rained at night. The wet season is the healthiest, because it is the coolest, and the temperature during the day ranges from 60“ to 130°. Only once during his stay of ten months, however, did it drop to 60°, aud then it felt cold enough to don flannels and overcoat. The trip going and coming from New York is made by sailing vessels and usually occupies forty-five days each way. CONUNDRUMS FOR GEORGE. Pupils of a College Seeking for Light on His Proposed Reforms. From the New York Herald. An interesting contest took place yester day between the intellectual athletes of Packard's Businesss College and Henry George. Among the invited guests were Capt. Codman, of Boston; Dr. C. H. Shepard, of Brooklyn; Mr. H. A. Spencer, Units Post, Dr. A. E. Holbrook, Ernest Dirhjimn, Gra ham McAdam and several ladies. Mr. Packard opened the exercises by ex plaining that thp pupils had beam discussing the laud question and Henry George’s books for several weeks, but they wanted more light. They had therefore decided to ask Mr. George to come and answer questions with regard to certain of his propositions which they did not fully undei-stana. Mr. George pushed back the table on the platform and stood in front of it facing fifteen young iadv shorthand stenographers, who were' to report him, and 360 students. He said that he w r as afraid they had not read his books if they eiid not understand his views on the land question. ‘■Will not your plan ba unjust to the own ers of mortgages (” was one of the questions propounded. “Not so unjust to them as the present sys tem is to the community.” “Would not the evils of government own ership be greater than the evils of private ownership V' “Oh, no. There is corruption where there are money, employment, patronage and po litical devds. With our land reform theso evils, and perjury growing out of personal taxation and the collection of duties, would be swept away. A land tax can be col lected easier than any other kind of tax. lxind is immovable and its value can be eaunly ascertained. Iu this reform no man ueeM to be poor who is willing to work.” [Applause.] “If people were only tenants of land would it not tend to discourage improvements!” “Possibly. But we do not propose: to give the land to the State. We would tfi-X it. A 1 mnu would hold land and buy and sell it just as he does now, so long as he complied ivith the necessary conditions. “Our scheme would make Goulds and Vanderbilts impossible. By striking at the root of great poverty you strike at the root of grfet wealth. Give public franchises to private individuals is like giving away high ways. A highway is a highway, whether of rails or cobblestones. [Applause.] Our revenue system is far more corrupt and injurious than even the railway system." “Does not the unearned increment idea apply to personal property T’ “No. The building is not as valuable as it was eighteen years ago, but the ground on which it stands has greatly increased in value. A tax on capital can be pushed aside, but a tax upon land alone would fall upon the speculator.” Mr. George said that his system would let the present legal titles to laud remain. He would not tax improvements, but lands, mid raise revenues on the valuo of land irre spective of improvements. “You say that the earth belongs to those who live on it. Very well. Adam aud Eve once owned all the world.” “Yes,” replied Mr. George, with light ning rapidity; “and suppose I produced a deed signed ny Adam and Eve, giving me legal title to the earth, would it be right to make all the jieople on the globe pay tribute to me?” [Great applause.] “You say we don't need a navy or army. But we sometimes quarrel among our selves,” said a pretty girl. “So do man and wire sometimes quarrel, but you would not arnt them with revolv ers tor (ear they might fight.” [Laughter and applause. ] ' A REM AUK ABLE RESCUE.

Becoming alarmed she searched the yard, and going to the well heard from its ilark bottom the plaintive cry of “Papa! l*apa! papa!’’ When the woman realized the truth she was frantic, and running to tho field called her husband and his helpers. The news quickly spread among the neigh l>ors, who congregated to offer assistance. At first the parents could think of no way to rescue the child. A rope was dropped down, but the child could not grasp it. The cry grew fainter and fainter, and at the eud of the first six hours a stout iron hook was lowered; and after' many fruitless attempts, occupying two days and nights, the dis tracted parents succeeded in dragging the child to the surface more dead than alive. The little fellow now lies in a very critical condition, its body fearfully lacerated by the hook and greatly exhausted from its long immurement.
