= geo A Frightened Chief. STANLEY STARTLES THE AFRICANS WITH GONG THUNDER. Among the stories that Stanley tells in “The Congo” is this:—On one oc- casion he was satistied that the whom he had just met intended treach- ery, und as the African came daily to the camp, with conetantly increasing bodies of armed men, he resolved to teach him a lesson. When he thought the native plot was ripe jor execution, he concealed all the forces of the expedi- tion about the camp and awaited the expected visit. The chief came, ac- companied by his usual train, and all seated themselves for a palavor. The subject of this was the design ot Stanley to pass through his country, while he was equally determined they should not. The meeting was stormy, but wougd up with no open outbreak, but evidently to the great dissatisfaction of the chief, when passing out of the tent he spied the gong which was used in the camp for giving signals as is a drum among soldiers. The chief enquired what it was, and was told that ir WAS A WAR FETISH. He insisted that it should be struck, but was told if that was done armed men would arise from every quarter. He still insisted. With all my torce I struck the gong ; the loud, bell-like tone sounding in the silence caused by the hushed attention of all upon the scene was starting in the extreme, but, as the rapid strokes were applied vigorously, the continued sound seemed to them like thunder. from the first shock of astonishment when the forms of men were seen bounding over the guawale of the boat, right over their heads, and war whoop- ing io their ears. From my tent and from a gorge behind thema stream of frantic infuriates emerged as though from the earth. The. store tent was violently agitated,and finally collapsed, and a yelling crowd of demoniac mad- men sprang out one aiter the other, every one apparently madder than his neighbors. The listless, sleepy-eyed stragglers burst out into A PERFECT FRENZY OF ACTION. From under the mats inthe huts there streamed into view sucha frantic mob of armed men that to the panic-stricken natives the sky and the earth seemed to be contributing to the constantly in- creasing numbers of death-dealing warriors. Every native present, would- be friend and would-be foe, lost his senses completely ; the seated warriors forgot tbeir gunsand fled before this strange deluge and awful scene. The ammunition-bearers threw their gourds away; some were broken and the powder and siugs seattered on the ground, avd as Ngalyema was standing, paralyzed with fear, and with his faculties benumbered, I seized him by the arm and said softly to him: “Be not afraid ; remember Bula Matari your brother. Stand behind me I will protect you.” The Zanzibaris were now a yelling crowd in front of me, calling out taunting and menac- 1s ingfly: “He, ha, Ngalyema. You came to fight Bula Matari. Where are your warriors, Ngalyems?’ There could not be a better representation of RELENTLESS, BLOODTHIRSTY FURY. than that which was shown by these amateur clack actors in the suddenly improvised scene. Their assumed frenzy was the next thing to reality. Had I not been in the secret I should also have been duped ; while the valor with which I defended my poor brother, who, with his two hands grasping me around the waist, danced from side to side to avoid furious stro from the wildeyed men, while young Enjeli cluogto his father and followed bis movements, reminded me of the long- forgotton play of hen-and-chickens. But the camp was emptied of our Visitors, much of the ammunition was strewn On the ground, the guns were lying about, and the play was well acted. ‘Attention! fall in!” called out the captains, and the well trained follows fell intoline at shoulder arms with all the precision of wellrained veterans, Then, as Ngalyema allow- ed his hands to fallin mute surprise at this suddem transformation, I took hold of bis hands and said: “Well, what do you think of the white man’s fetish ?” “Ah, 1 was not afraid was I? See, all my people have run away. Ah, such braves! But tell me, Bula Matari,where did ell these people come from? Ah, that is the bad fetish Ltold you of. Do you want to see any more? Come, I will strikethe fetish again, and the next scene will be still more wonderful,” “What !” he screamed, “No, no, don’t touch it. Verily, that must be a_ bad fetish,” he said gravely, as he looked at the round, innocent face of the gong. ~*~. Ar Elephant’s Joke. An elephant once played an amusing trick upon one of its own neighbors in the menagerie. Oneof the workmen had been engaged in painting a portion of the house, ‘ouching off the ornamen- tal projections with red paint. The yourg elephant watched him with great interest, epparently amused at the bright bits of color that suddenly ap- peared wherever the brush touched. The painter was absorbed in bis work When the dinner-bell rang. He put his pot and brush down and went otf to his meal. The elephaot waited till he was out of sight, then carefully fe't for the brash with his trunk. Next to Tom Thumb stood a sleepy camel, dreamily chief | They had not recovered la DATIx eating his hay. Tom Thumb took up| the brush end streaked the camals sive, Tody happened in just ther, aod wetch- | ed eventr, The ciephunt was beside | itself with joy.when it saw the red | te! of paint on the camel’s gray flanks, when | the painter returned the brush was back in its place, bat the paint pot was empty,the elephant was gazing earnest- ly into space, and the camel was em blazoned all over with red stripes like a crimson zebra. eee Special Notices, UNDERCLOTHING, ia great varict:, awful cheap at L.

The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equal satistaction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel I have aleo attached the PATENT TELESCOPI® OVEN to ai! my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as_ the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c., causing the thousands using them to exclaim——\y Stoves are worth TEN DOLI-ARS MORE than the gare kind made by other foundries, The trade and retail purchasers will please bear in mind the fact that although « great edvantage is claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other fcuncry can supply.
