Binger's Story of His Journey to Strange Landa Kegionfl \Where \White >liin Has Never lieen Before—ropulur Impressions Kegard- ing Kontr, Her Mountains mid Inhabitants, Are Erroneous. The Paris ficojrraphical Society last month frave its grand medal of prold, the hifrhesl honor it has to bestow, to Captain Iiinj.'er. the intrepid explorer, who has made the most notable journey for years in the interior of Africa, xays tho New York Sun. The public has al- ready been told of his visit to the famous city of Kon»\ which no white man ever saw before: of bis discovery that there are no k'on«- mountains, and of his long\ journey from the Xifrer river to the (oilf of Guinea through wholly unknown lands, lint many in- teresting details of his journey were not known until his lono- address before the Paris Geographical Society. Some of the pictures he brought homo with him have also been published, one of which, the view of Kong, is particularly interostin<r because though tho world had known of the city for many years, nobody had any idea how it looked, ex- cept that it was supposed to he buried among mountains, which proves to be a very incorrect notion. Captain Hinder was well fitted for tho difficult and danperous mission he undertook, for his quality as an African traveler had already been tested in three previous journeys to Senega), during which he had lived long among the natives and understood several of their languages, lie left Batnaku, the principal French post on the upper Ni- ger, in tho spring of issr, and his first mission on his journey rnrough tne un- known to the ivory coast was to attempt to make peace- between two powerful negro kings (both of whom had accepted the protectorate of Franco)—Samory, the famous Mohammedan prophet, and Tieba. P.inger found that Samorj- was besieging Sikaso. the chief town of his enemy. Thither, with bis modest little escort of ten men in charge of eighteen woll-ladoR donkeys, the explorer wended his way. War with all its hor- rors was everywhere manifest. \War and famine.\ says Binger. \had made a vast charnel house of the many provinces in this great region. The dead were scattered everywhere. Many villages were deserted. The first day J entered the stricken region I counted fifteen bodies along the road. Later I was able to count them by the hundreds. In every little thicket, in all the huts of the depopulated villages I found the dead, and many a skeleton was bleaching in the sun. On some river banks when- there was only one- boat to convey the ftipiti\es lieeing from the enemy the frightened croud had fought for the possession of the boat, and the weaker had succumbed and died on t h e bank, too fei bio in y, in the other shore by swimming across the deep, swift, stream. These rivers gave me a great deal of trouble, for I had to unload the donki\s and put our trade goods in smaller pai'l.age.-., which I placed in large i-alaha.-.ln s that my men pushed before them as they swam tho, rivers. \After marching fifteen hours a day for seven days I readied Sikaso. the chief town of King Tieba, a place of about live thousand inhabitants, sur- i great clay wall flanked by - that served as bastions'.' if fort ilicalion is considered lib- by the blacks. In these therefore, the aim of the jn- army is to red ice tho town by win the mastery through >.V 1- !,•; rounded huge lowe This kind as impregn sieges, vesting famine, or t< the treason of some of the inhabitants. Tieba i s an energetic negro, and as fast as Samory erected wooden fortifications around Hit; town lie drew up redoubts opposite them outside tho walls, and he even syoeei derl in preventing Samory from completely investing the town. It was therefore di/liciilt to reduce tho place by famine, as it was impossible to prevent Tieba from bringing in pro- visions. About once in eight days a large force of Tieba's soldiers would I oome from the'eountry with a fresh sup- N ply of food.' lie kept in the town only H a sufficient number of men to defend I the placo, and tho rest of his troops i'jjj were engaged in kooping up tho supply >'t-^ Of provisions. •* Captain Binger's efforts to restore ifcjsjMaaijOace wore in vain. Samory said he WltSfeftf&i^^ ®*- n P 00 ! 1 ' 0 of b'f capital when he Mf|agi|||ie'ft them that ho would never return\ \i||i0i||wH'QOut tho head of Tieba, and he «f|f|g«|^Mttded to koep his word. Twolvo feM^S^fipBttsand of his peoplo were scattered |f^^W^%8utid the walls of Sikaso, of whom m'j§t/KMM thousand wero soldiers armed with Tho others were laborers, and women. Most of his oav- Iry horses died for lack of proper and Bingor left aikaso not without great dimcuity, lor Samory thought it would help him t o spread the rumor that the white man was the mes- senger from a great army of whites who wore coming to aid him to overthrow Tieba. In the end., however, Samory j was compelled to go home without I Tieba's head, for fatipue, hunger and ' wounds carried off so many of his sol- I diors that he gave up the siege as a bad ' job. I At Tengrela, as i s shown on our map, ' the explorer's progress in that direction was stopped. A hostile chief barred the , way, and he was compelled to retrace j his steps, and while Tioba was shut up i in Sikaso Captain Binger passed through I a part of the dusky monarch's territory, j South of Sikaso our geographies knew , no more of the region ho traversed than .of the dark side of the moon, lie was now i n virgin territory, and he found that our impressions of that region, de- rived from Niger and coast natives, were generally wrong. Ho was not a little surprised, for instance, to sud- denly find that all the rivers were flow- ing south. The maps for many years had represented tributaries of the Niger rising in the Kong mountains; but there Binger was far nori-h\ of Kong, and all the rivers wero runni ng south to the sea. The commerce of Kong is very flour- ishing. Tho market is a veritable fair. Besides all sorts of provisions, one may procure there European articles coming from the coast, such as cloths, guns, powder and hardware. There are also many domestic products in the market. The money consists of cowry shells and gold dust. Captain Binger remained in Kong about three weeks, and then set out for the unknown country northeast, and after making a lonjr circular trip he reached Kong again. His convoy, in- • eluded only seven men and ten don-Keys well laden with presonts for the chiefs and goods for the pure base of food. His purpose was not only exploration, but also, if possible, to make treaties plac- ing all these unknown regions under the protection of France. He found Bobo-Diulasu to bo a largo place with an important trade, lie was much in- terested here in the. traveling barbers and manicures. The latter, wrth a poor pair of scissors, made in the country, trim the nails of fingers and toes, charg- ing each customer a price in cowry shells that is about a fifth of a cent. lie had great difficulty in advancing further north, as the people are ex- cessively superstitious. A bit of paper thrown on the ground, the sight of his table, or the cordage that bound his bundles, filled them -with terror. They accused him of sorcery, and he had to be very adroit in his questions to get any information about the country. All this region on the borders of Mossi was in complete anarchy, having been rav- aged by bands from lloussa and Soug- hap. far north. It was impossible to se- cure protection from a, single chief. Tho herbage is more rank and savage than along other parts of liinger's route, and offered an excellent theater for the operations of the brigands. In Mossi. however, Captain Binger bad a royal reception, the King loading the little expedition with food, giving its loaacr a norse, ana accompanying him in all bis excursions. An unfortu- nate incident occurred, however, show- ing the fickleness of royal favor in inner Africa. The King was on the point of making a treaty with Binger when the news came that a German expedition was approaching the country. The rumor scared the Kin^r nearly out of his wits. He thought his country was go- ing to bo overrun wit.h white men. and with much trepidation he requested Captain Binger to take his departure. The explorer spent a month in Mossi, and he regards that country as one of the most promising he has visited. He says it is a beautiful land of plains, very well adapted to cult i vatiun and cattle- raising and thickly populated. lie estimates the population at about thirty to the square mile. On his wav back to Kong Binger visited the well-known town of Salaga. ja place of about U.OOO inhabitants.which I h e describes as the dirtiest place ho | ever visited. This town, not very far i from the large Volta river, has long had ! relations with the European colonies on 'the coast. If it is very dirty the citizens 'may urge that they have not a particle ;<if \vMorj\t fo?\h'rinking or bathing pur- , poses i n their neighborhood. They ear- l ry nearly all the water they use a dis- tance of about, eight miles, and the • trade in water and wood engages a con- siderable part of the population. It is. j •however, as a great Malt market that Salaga is chiefly famous, and an enor- imioiis region derives its entire supply of si,It from the mines at Salaga. The fact that, the natives wished to be near It he source of their salt supply, which is .their chief industry, explains the pecu- liar circumstance that they built thoir town so far from water. | in his little party liinger had in tho iway of fire-arms only one rifle, a fowl- ing-piece and two revolvers. To win the friendship of the unknown people he visited the explorer depended upon his handsome supply of presents, and he also found t o be very serviceable a letter 'from a high authority in the Mohara- • tnedan world of that region commend- iing him to the friendship and hospital- ity of all followers of the prophet. LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM. Some years ago when I was young And all my troubles were before me, While tailors' bills were vet among The unknownjlls so soon t o floor me; \When I had taken my degree I went abroad; thought I, the ohang'll Best my tired brain, but foolishly I fell In love with, well, an angel. 'Twas at the opera we met, That night I think 'twas Trovatore; However, though I now forget, It doesn't much concern my story. A genial friend presented me As soon as we her box could get'to; Through love or fright or modesty, I rolled and twisted my libretto. Next day it was I went to call; In thought already her adorer, I hung my hat up in the hall, And sat my humble self before her; At small talk she was quit' 1 an fait, On topics from blanc manre to bonnets', She had an album ; by the way, I illlud it with romantic sonnets I pined when she was out of sight; My clothes no longer seemed to fit me; I dreamed about her every night, Square on the heart had Cupid hit me. She gave me once a lock of hair; I begged so much I really earned it; I have.it yet, but don't know where. And think, perhaps, I may have burned It. She flirted, just as all girls do, But always with my fellow-students; Tome in most th'.ngs she was true, And kept within the bounds of prudence. Yet thorns are found near every rose; And after some few months we parted; A tear-drop glisicned on her nose, • While I, for weeks, was broken-hearted. A score of years have passed away, Since then of late I've heard about Her; Her hair has grown a trifle gray, Her figure grown a great deal stouter. I'm married now, and so, of course, My heart no longer reaches toward hers; While she has had her tbird^livorce, And lately's gone to taking boarders. —F. H. Curtiss, in N. Y. Sun.

How He Saved a Starving Family by Bobbing a Grocery. He Served Faithfully in tho Union Array and Ended His Days as He Had Lived, a Tramp Printer—A Queer Character. Hon. S. P. Bartlett, of Quincy, 111., relates the following story, which is told by J. M. D. Davidson in the Quincy Whig: Some years ago, when I was quite a lad, I worked at the printing trade in Quincy, and held cases on the Whig, in the same \alley\ with a tall, stoutly- built printer named Tim Cowan. He was a veritable tramp: not from neces- sity, but from the' reason that so many of the guild are—a restless love of rov- ing. His was a type of character not infrequently met with, embodying many points of intellectuality and ver- satility of talents, and in his case these were developed to a remarablo degree. He was a philosopher, a poet and an orator all in one. and the beauty of his language when the poetic mood was on, and the lofty character of the senti- ments he expressed, were a perpetual marvel to me. Cowan took a fatherly interest in me, and used to give mo sage and sensible advice, occasionally enforcing it by stories or incidents from his own ex- perience. One aay, m tne course of one of these talks, he said: \liartlett do you think it is ever right to do wrong?\ j Of course I said it wasn't, and he re- I plied, that ho thought there wore oc- i casions in life when not only was it I allowable, but a man's duty, to do what was in itself wrong, or generally con- ! sidcred so. \To illustrate.\ said be, j \le| me tell you an incident from my I own\experience, and I will leave you . t o juilge if I am correct in my assertion: ' \One cold winter I strayed into a little country town in Ohio, and got a j job of type-setting in the only printing , oUice in the phuk?. One evening, soon ; after arriving there, I started out for a . stroll. It was a cold night—I remember ; that because I had no overcoat. In the tho course of my walk I passed a tumble- ', down and apparently deserted shanty I i n the outskirts of the town, and was | surprised to hear a sound, as of a groan, proceeding from the interior. I stopped, and knocked at the door, but received ] no response. My curiosity was aroused, ; and I went around the house and pushed ! open the roar door and stepped into tho 1 house. I found myself in a room amidst a scene of destitution and woo that will 1 never fade from my memory. In the corner of the room lay a man in the last .' stages of consumption. At the fireplace ; with her hands clasping her knees, which were drawn up to her chin, was a | woman, surrounded by two or three ! little children. They were hovering [ over a few smouldering sticks in a bot- tomless iron kettle, trying to extract 1 from them a little warmth. I \They told tne they wero movers, who j had come there the summer before and j had found and taken possession of this ! shanty. The man was taken ill here, and for a time they had gotten along by sell- ing, oneaftor another, their horses, their wagon and mostof their furniture. Final- ly winter came on, and they had nothing left to live on except tho charity of tho peoplo of tho town. Considerable had been done for them, but the people had at last got weary of the drain and had bo- l . ;••! i A Peculiar Royal 01ft, j The Crown Princess of Denmark brought to the Queen of Sweden dur- ing her recent visit to Copenhagen a ,present after (hat good old lady's heart. , I t is a text-album containing the Queen's favorite verses from the Old ,and New Testament Scriptures, illuminated in (the fifteenth-century style by the Prin- icess'own hand. Kach page has a differ- ent design on it, and so careful and execution that it has High ness years to ac- coinplish the work. The binding is oi embossed leather, with tho arms ol Sweden, surrounded by a pattern spe- cially chosen by the Princess, and the ! book is mounted in silver. The Queen | who has been in poor health and spirits, was exceedingly delig-hted with this beautiful—and, to her taste, especially congenial—souvenir; and, indeod,-its ar- . tistic merits are of a Tory high ordor j apart from its value as tlio expression iof a kind and amiable feeling. , The elaborate, is the ! ta!.-on her Royal i now destitute of clothing, fuel or proper I food and they knew not whore t o apply | for them. S^ I \I mado up my mind something must ' be done for these people, and I promised ' them that I would see that they had relief '. at latest by the following evening, which ; was Saturday. I went up-town and spoke ' toanuniber of pooploaoout tbecase, but I thoyaH^said the family was shiftless and jCampagnaof Naples. I undeserving; that tho woman would not ; work when she had tho opportunity. I i wondered how the woman could work ! with those children and that sick man to take care of. Finally I gavo up the I attempt to got others to do a&y thing I and determined to take my ownWages ! to them tbo following evening. \On Saturday night tho proprietor of I the, paper came into the composing- I room and said: 'Boys, I 'havon't sue- | oeedod in raising any money to pay you off to-night. I expect some early next gti^ifJjj week. Meantime you'll have tq stand your board bills o3 a few days, some needed things at tho stores. He- replied that he was already in debt at the stores and hated to ask for more credit; that in ' fact he didn't believe they would give it. [Every old printer wili recognize this homelike picture of j the country printing business in Iho old , days.—En.] Ho didn't see how he could do any thing for me beforo the. next week. , '•Annoyed and disheartened, I knew not what to do. I could not bring my- , self to go to that family and face their j disappointment when I told them I had . nothing for them. After wandering | around awhile I went to my boarding- . house and went to bed. But I could not sleep. The reproachful, hungry faces j of those children roso up before me; I • grew more restless and excited as I i thought of their disappointment and • their destitution, till I could bear it, no longer. I said: 'At least I'll play the; man; I'll keep my appointment with' them, and tell them why I could not got • any thing for them.' I \So I got up and dressed and wont j down to tho wretched hovel. I found | the peoplo very much as they wero when | I had first seen them. They wero ex- j pecting mo. Tho moment I entered I their eyes sparkled and eager welcome and expectation was on every face. My heart failed me. I could not tell them I had nothing for them. I stammered out that I had come to find what they needed (just as if I didn't know, before- hand, that thoy needed every thing). I then left, promising t o return soon. \I didn't know what to do. I went to tho houses of some of the citizens and woke them up, and plead with them to do something at once, but each in turn refused, saying that more had already been done than the family deserved. I walked on until I found myself on the business square, which was deserted, and stood in front of a grocery store in which burned a light. I tried the door and found it locked. I pushed on it- put my shoulder t o it—and i t came open. I walked in, and helped myself. I piled my arms as full as I could carry of pro- visions and took them down to that destitute family; I went back and got anotherload. and took itdown; and then I went to a neighboring wood-pile and got several arm-loads of wood; I built up a rousing good fire and cooked those wretched people a supper myself, an 1 came away leaving them eating it. their hearts filled with gratitude and their lips speaking thanks and blessings. I went to my boarding house and went to bed, and slept soundly all night. \Next morning I went down-town and found a crowd of people around the store, talking excitedly about the rob- bery of the night before.and threatening to 'string up' the culprit if he could be found. \ 'Gentlemen,' said I, addressing them, 'you need not look any further. I'm the man that did it. And I can tell you why I did it if you'd like to know.' And then I told them all the facts of the case and concluded: 'Now. gentlemen, I am will- ing to abide the consequences. I will submit to any penalty you name. If two or three years of my liberty will pay tho bill, I'll gladly forfeit it; or, if you cnoose to let me pay it a s i can from my weekly wages. I'll remain in this town until every cent is paid. Do as you please; I leavo it to your sense of jus- tice. But I would have fed those starv- ing-children last night had I known it would cost mo ten years i n the peniten- tiary.\ \Even then some wero for arresting and committing me: but by the next morning the tide had changed. Several citizens made up the amount due the storekeeper, and provision was made for ! tho family thereafter. But nothing j shprt of that act of mino could have j M-oused that community up to its duty, j And now, my lad,\ concluded Cowan, I \did I do right in doing wrong\ in doing right?\ I was too little of a casuist in those days to answer the question positively, though I have since made up my mind quite clearly about it. Cowan afterward went into the army at the opening of the war and fought to its close. I was interested in following up his history, and. on inquiry, found that he had left behind him. wherever ho went, a record of kind and charitable deeds, and that happiness and blessing seemed to follow him. He was a man of great heart and uncommon talents, and had be not so underestimated his own abilities, and shown more- settled pur- pose of life, he could have.arisen to al- most any position of eminence and honor among men. After the war he returned to the North and lived for a time j n St. Louis. Ho eventually took up his old roving life, and ended his days as he had ifved the mostof them—a tramp printer.
