the latter’s power in Germany, and the result
was the annexation of Lombardy and Venice'
to the new kingdom of Italy, and of Nassau,
Hosse-Cassel and Erankfort to Prussia. The
adhesion of Saxony soon followed. One
Ilohenzollem prince was placed on the throne
of Roumania and another proposed for king
of Spain. Then Louis Napoleon interfered and
the Franco-German war of 1870 resulted.■
The triumph of the German arms was so
rapid and complete that the world was
amazed. Louis Napoleon was taken prisoner;

EM,N PASHA AND HIS AFRICAN JOUR**
*"*»
™- -«-
Doctor amt Traveler is Safe—History
of His *•»*» Work.
The news not long ago received that Emin
Pasha was safe, at a comparatively re¬
cent date, revives interest in liis expedition,
and tlmt of Henry M. Stanley, who has gone
to the rescue.
Dr. Emin (whom the caliph has now hon¬
ored, though much too late, by giving him
the title of pasha, the highest gift in his
power), is by birth a Silesian, and his real
name is Schnitcler. He studied at Paris, Ber¬
lin and Y iewna, then entered the Egyptian
army as physician, and in 1876 was sent
from Cairo to Gordon, who was then gov¬
ernor of tho equatorial provinces. Gordonf
Pasha very soon
made Emiii Effen-
di, as his title then
was, the chief phy-
sic inn, and employ-
ed him in several
diplomatic m i s -
s l o II s . Two of
these missions took
him to Uganda,
that negro country
oil tho southern
shore of Lake Vic¬
toria Nyanza,
young
ruler of which
lately made
himself such a ter¬
rible name through tho massacre of
tho English Bishop Huntington and
his fltty companions. At that time
an officer of Gordon, contrary to*
the instructions of tho latter, had marched
with 300 men to the eapiutl city of Uganda
with a pronounced intention to occupy that
country. Km in Effendi was sent after him
vv ith aa order to instantly bring back the’ de¬
tachment, in which he was so successful that
not a shot was fired to disturb tho peaceable
relations then existing.
Of still greater importance was bis success in
inducing tiie king of Unvoro—Gordon’s neigh¬
bor of AJ!x-rfc Nyanza, the lake into which
tho Somerset Nile-enters from the east—to
make a lasting peace, for it would have been
an easy matter for this ruler to sweep Gor¬
don and his little troop from tho faeo of the
eaitli. In acknowledgment of these services
Gordon in lb.8 made Emin governor of the
R>oyptiau equatorial provinces, with the rank
oi bey. It was no sinecure which was thus
conferred upon him, and his work was not
made the lighter wnen Gordon soon after re¬
signed his post as general governor of the
Soudan.
1 he slave dealers wlio had so long been held
down with iron rigor again raised' their
aeads ^ discontent showed itself on every
haml, and it needetl such men as Emin Bey
aud the Italian Gessi, who had at the same
time been appointed governor of the Bahr-
El-Ghasan, to bring order out of this general
chaos.
In less than two years im>st of the stations'
were rebuilt and all, about forty in number,
connected by means of a weekly postal ser¬
vice, and the district very thoroughly purified
of the slave dealers. And while formerly the
^atonal ^1°" provinces UU “"'w had required subsid y of for ^S8,000 their
m E , ce . ofS^KT R Vetthetexe® bad not been
,a ^ ’ 0,1 i strict economy and the abolEh-
n,ent of 8 rave abu «» brought about thir
^' 0<x1 greets had been made, wagons
built and oxen mured to the yoke. The peo-
pie have learned to weave and the prepara-
tJoa of soa P and the collecting of cotton, rice,
mchgo and wheat have been introduced.
With alt this Emin Bey has found time to
explore most minutely his dominion and the
ne ‘g»bonng (oiuntries. In his capacity of
a"'I correct cui voys and collected much ma-
tenal of au etunographical and linguistic
character.
Again, in the first half of last year he made
a Sec ^ nd to the western shore of the
Mwut&n, crossed the lake to Kibero, on the
eastern shore,- and then returned to the Wad-'
elai, a little to the north of this lake on the
left shore of the Nile.
It w here that l>e has now for some time
held his headquarters, having changed from
Lado,which is furthei to the north, in hope
of being able to communicate from there with
tho western coast of Africa. However, e^ie all the
attempts made in this direction to
naught through the hostility of the suspic-
ious ruler of Uganda, who, through fear of
losing his dominion, will in no wise pertnit P
the passing through of Europeans.
Nevertheless, Dr. Junker, who, with the
Italian, Capt. Casati, was Ionr the guest of
Emin Bey, succeeded, by going around the ter-
ritory of this much feared African potentate
inciting to South Zanabar, gX
to Cairoby^a more western
And in this certainly Emin Bey and tho
Kalian explorer would a'iso succeed
refuses to abandon the men intrusted to hu!i him
"ho have for so long a time stood by in
danger and peril, without wages 6 or clothing,
&nd with fare, to tba cruel fate
which would certainly be inflicted on the
leaderie* troops by the slavedealere. Hein-
te “ ds w conduct them through the southern
country to the coast. At present, however
this way is obstructed. Neither Lenz nor
Fischer have been able to make their wav to
him. What they have not succeeded in ac-'
compfishing Stanley, Massari.aJe Joseph Thomson and
the Italian, Capt attempt-'
