Tiie first and last African voyage of
Lieut. Massari was undertakenin com-
pany of the unfortunate Mattcncci
who lost Jib life in the adventure. He
had originally intended to start on an
other African journey independently
of the International association.
"I should hare liked to be an ex-

your correspondent. "That was my
wish to command an expedition of
my own not necessarily Italian. But
you see I could not get the money
and so when King Leopold asked me

"Did someone apply? ' said Lieut.
Massari parrying one question with
-mother. "I had not heard of it."
"J have read in a Roman paper"
continued your correspond en t "that
your mission on the Congo would be
as important if not more important
than Stanley's.
"I have seen the report too'1 re-
plied the lieutenant "and it has given
me immense annoyance. Indeed?! al-
most believed some enemy of mine
had published it malieiouslj' although
f. ani assured su;h is not the case.
The truth is I don't know what my
mission is to be in the least yet. I sup-
pose though I shall have to help
found new stations in the interior. As
for superseding Stanley such an ab--surd
idea never entered" my mind."
"When do you sail lieutenant?"
"I expect to leave Liverpool on the
ICth or HOth of next month and shall
probably be away three years. The
Italian government would hardlvgive
me a longer leave of absence."
"What do you think of the last news
about Stanley and Dc Brazza? Do you
see any likelihood of De Brazza suc-
ceeding so long as he. works by him-
self?" J
"I am very doubtful whether he has

the legions of plastic or graphic repiti-

"To prevent stealing?"
"Oh no: the ladies who visit our es-
home one of the ta ils of the basque
coat was gone. She thought some
evil-minded person had done it to dis-
tress her but a few days after she dis-
covered the piece in the block of a cra-
zy quilt."
The gentleman was one of the pro-
prietors of a large and elegant! v ap-
pointed establishment on Woodward
avenue and while he talked he watch-
ed a beautiful girl who lingered near
the superb flush draperv of one of the
portieres. The young man leaning
against the show-case also watched
her in a sleepy indifferent way but
ready to spring JU1(1 stop her hand if
he saw a suspicious movement.
"But" said the representative of the
Free Press "these are ladies of posi-
tion and wealth. They can buv all the

A Right Word at the Moment.
A right word at the right moment
has made many u. fortune. One of Na
poleon s veterans who survived his
master many years was wont to re
count with great glee how he had once
picked up the emperor's cocked hat at
a review when the latter not noticing
that he was a private .-.aid. carelessly"
"Thank you captain." In what regi-
ment sire?'.' instantly asked the ready-
witted soldier. Napoleon perceiving
his mistake answered with a smile'
"In my guard for I see vou know how-
to be prompt." The newly-made offi-
cer received his commissiorrnext morn-
ing. A somewhat similar anecdote is
related of Marshal SouvorofV who
when receiving a despatch from the
hands of a Russian sergeant who had
greatly distinguished himself on the
Danube attempted to confuse the
messenger by a series of whimsical
questious but found him fully equal to
the ocdiuriou. "How manv fish are
there in the sea?" asked SouvorofT.
"All that are not caught vet" was the
answer. "How far is it to the moon?"
"Two of your Excellency's forced
marches." "What would 'you do if
you saw 3 our men giving way in bat-
tle?" "I'd tell them that there was a
wagon-load of whiskev just behind the
enemy's line." Baffled at all points
the marshal ended with "What is the
difference between vour colonel and
myself?" "My colonel cannot make-
me a lieutenant but your Excellency
has only to say tho word." "I say it
now thon" answered SouvorofV; "and
a right good officer you'll be."
An Incubus of Journalism.
Another evil weighs down the press
an evil that grows apace like a malig-
nant cancer and threatens to pollute
all branches and ages of our society.
It consists in the collection of unclean
feverish and sensational "news"
which is thereupon spread daily in
thousands of sheets to poison the minds
of the rising generation and lower
the moral standards of the community.
The foul stufV has been seen for years
was seen last week yesterday and
to-day; and shameful to witness this
vile business has been gone into by
some journals that have been respect-
able but now abuse their honorably
acquired reputations while furnishing
a pernicious example.
The conductors of those presses like
so many men with muck rakes gather
from every quarter reports of sin and
blood or "temptation profligacy and
ruin. Novel crimes are in especial re-
quest and horrors are sometimes in-
vented when they fail to come black
and blood curdling enough to hand.
Columns of city news departments
are daily loaded down with the nau-
seous rubbish and the evil that it does
is incalculable. For crime as has
been pointed out by more than one
sociologist is contagious: and the con-
tinual rehearsal of Its commission to-
gether with liquorish dwelling upon
its details is certain to increase its ag-
gregate amount. Such prostitution of
the press has a clo?e analogy to the
prostitution of the state but the power
for harm of the press is infinitely
greater. A newspaper is bought for
less than a ticket to the play is seen
by more persons and like the brook
"goes on forever." We
would willingly censure none of our
contemporaries. But the best that can
be said for the ofienders implicated in
these strictures is to say that they have
not sufficiently thought of the matter;
that they have been led on step by
step by competition and the desire for
circulation until as with persons bit-
ten by the noxious Sicilian insect. what
begins in trilling aberration becomes
a dance of madness and death at last.
We would gladly see this disease
treated by the voluntary act of those
who have suffered themselves by de-
grees to become its victims. But it is
too dangerous to society to be allowed
to remain unchecked too long. That
such pestilential sheets as have been
sent forth even during the past forty-
eight years should continue to be re-
ceived in families and spread before
the eyes of American wives maidens
and children is a scandal no longer to
be tamely borne. The malady mav
need caustic treatment the treatment
of extirpation -and this the public in
its wisdom knows how to apply. Neiu
York Commercial Advertiser.
That Human Pigeon.
If that plump little human pigeon
could see herself as others see "her
when she laces her stays so that her
waist becomes like an hour glass and
looks as easy to snap as a pipe-stem
would she make her little round nose
as red as a rosebud with the compres-
sion of all her vital organs and de-
stroy every trace of symmetry in her
lines? She thinks she makes' herself a
sylph poor little plump pigeon! She
only makes herself a ver badly con-
structed pincushion. And wouicl she
wear those high heels do that she tot-
ters at every step and looks ready to fall
on that nice little nose aforesaid? If
she saw herself as others see her she
would let out her stays as a sailor
would say. and lower her stilts and
she would be all the prettier and more
graceful for the process.

Conjugal Affection.
Some husbands are always too solic-
itous about the health of their wives.
While walking on Austin avenue Mrs.
Duzenbury slopped in front of theshow
window of 11 millinery store and ex-
claimed: "What a bountiful hhhoi'IiuuiiI Of
hats!"
"Come on quick Lolumi. V(Mi will
