STANLEY IX AFRICA. Hcnrd from after a Year'* Sllcncc?.UuUinK His Way Iroiii tlic- East to the West foam lu the Face of Dense Forests and Savage Tribe* ? Kuflcrins: Incredtblc Hardships. [From the New York Herald.] After nearly twelve mouths of anxious suspense, during which the gravest fears were, entertained for the safety of the gallant African explorer, the welcome news has at length come that Henry M. Stanley, the special commissioner of the New York Jlcraldand t'-e London Daily Tcler/raph has arrived ul the west coast of Africa after a terrible journey .across the continent along the line of the Lualaba otherwise the Congo river. Stanley's dispatch is dated from Emboma, Congo river, west coast of Africa, August 10, and informs us that he arrived at that point on August 8 from xvit.h 11 souls, thft entire party iii an awful condition after tlieir long and terrible journey through the heart of the African continent. After an arduous march of many days through a country filled with difficulties, and being compelled to transport on the shoulders of his men every pound of provisions and other stores necessary for tho.transcontinental journey, and besides carrying in a similar maimer the sections of the Lady Alice exploring boat and the arms and ammunitions of his party, Stanley found himself brought to a stand by immense tracts of dense forests, through which all attempts at progress were futile. Finding that he could not - advance along the line he had first in- 1 tended to follow. Stauloy crossed the Lualaba and continued his journey along tho left bank of the river, passing through the district known as northeast Ukusu. On this route he endeavored to find an outlet westward, but the jun~1 .1 1 nf yiv; ?iib nu iu uov, uuu i??6uvo march so harassing, that it seemed impossible for him to succeed iu passing the tremendous barrier of the forest. To add to the horrors of his position in these Central African wilds Stanley found himself opposed at every step by the hostile cannibal natives. The savages filled the woods, and clay and night ? poured flights of poisoned arrows on his party, which killed and fatally wounded j many of his men. From every tree and j rock along the route the deadly missiles I winged their fatal course, and the heavily ; laden bearers fell dead under their loads j in the dark forest. Only now and then corild Stanley and his men reply to this silent fire with their rifles, for the sav- , ages kept under the densest cover and rarely exposed themselves. Stauley's march through these cannibal regions soon became almost hopeless. 1 There was no cessation to the fighting j dav or nicht. An attempt at camping merely concentrated the savages and rendered their tire more deadly. The advance was a succe.- sion of changes in rude skirmishing order by an advance guard, whose duty it was to clear the road for the rauin body. A rear guard ^covered in like manner the retreat, for, although advancing against one enemy, the movement was a -retreat from another. All Stanley's efforts to appease tho savages were unavailing. They would listen to no overtures, disregarded all signals of fr.endship and of mildness of intention and refused to be pacified with gifts. The patient behavior of Stanley's men they regarded as cowardice, so that no course remaiued open to the explorer but to fight his way onward and with as little loss as possible. To render Stanley's position still more deplorable his escort of 140 natives, whom he had engaged for the service at Nyangwe, refused to proceed further on ' tho journey and deserted him. They were so overawed by the terrors of the forest and the continuous struggle that they believed destruction was certain to overtake the whole party, and prudently resolved not to be destroyed. Finding that his rauks were thinned by the desertion of the Nyangwe men the hostile natives concentrated for a grand attack on Stanley, with the object of completely crushing him. It became necessary, therefore, to organize a desperate re 8L8tan.ce, wnicn was nappny successiui so far that it repulsed the savages for the time being and gave the explorer a chance to reconsider his plans and make arrangements to adapt them to his trying situation. There was only one way to escape from the hapless position in which Stanley now found himself, nuless he accepted the alternative of returning to Nyangwe aud abandoning the grand work which he had undertaken. 'I his was to make use of canoes. With the L^dy Alice as a last reliance, and good canoes for the party, Stanley concluded that he could advance with a better prospect of success than in any other way. Although he had a decided advantage over the savages on the water Stanley still found that each day's advance was but a repetition of the struggle of the day previous. It was desperate lighting all the time while pushing down the river with might and main. Fortunately it was still the rifle against the bow, but then the bow was covered by the dense woods and the rifle was exposei\ iu the open canoe. In the midst of these successive struggles Stanley's journey on the river was interrupted by a series of great cataracts, not far apart from each other and just north aud south of the equator. To pas.s these obstacles he had to cut his way through over thirteen miles of dense forest and drag his eighteen canoes and the exploring boat Lady Alice overland. This enormous labor entailed the most exhausting efforts, and the men had frequently to abandon the ax and drag-ropes for their rifles to defen 1 themselves against the continuous assaults of the hostile natives. After passing the cataracts Stanley and his pirtyhal a long breathing pause from the toil of dragging their boats through the forest. They were also comparatively secure from attack and took measures to recruit their exhausted strength before again encountering the dangers of the journey westward. Although fighting his way continuously Stanley did not neglect the objects of his journey, and fouud opportunity to note all the interesting changes and plivsical characteristics of the route. In order to avoid the struggles with the tribes of desperate cannibals that inhabited the mainland on each side of the river, Stanley's canoe fleet, led by the Lady Alice, paddled along between the islands, taking advantage of the cover they afforded as a protection from attack. In this way many miles down the stream were maue oy me expeumon unmolested by the natives. But this Bafety from attack was purchased by much sufferiug. Cut off from supplies in the middle of the great river, starvation threatened to destroy the expedition. The most extreme hunger was endured by the party, which passed three entire days absolutely without any food. This terrible 6tate of things could not be any longer endured, fo Stanley resolved to meet his fate on the mainland rather than by hunger on the river. He there fore turned ins course to tne ieit name of the Lualaba, and, with tlie singular good fortune that has generally attended him, reached the village of a tribe acquainted with trade. These people had four muskets which they obtained from the west coast. They represent, in a degree, the advance guard of civilization toward the interior of the continent. They called the great river Ikuta Ye Congo. With these friendly nativef Stanley and his party made " bloot brotherhood " and purchased from then: an abnndance of provisions, which wer< sorely needed by the famished exploring party. Atter a brief rest Stanley eudeavoret to continue his course along the lef bank of the river. But three days aitei his departure from the village of tin friendly natives he eamo to the countn of ft powerful tribe, whose warriors were armed with muskets. Here for the first time since leaving Nyangwe Stanley had to contend agaiust an enemy 011 almost an equal footing as to arms. He, therefore, prepared his party for a struggle ! the issue of which was decidely doubtful. No sooner did these natives discover the nrmrnnnli of Stjinlov's exneditinil tlin.il J they manned fifty-four large canoes and ' put off from the river bank to attack it. It was not until after three of his men j were killed that Stanley desisted in his efforts to make the natives understand that he and his party were friends. He 1 eried out to them to that effect and offered them clothes as peace Rifts. , But the savages refused to be conciliated, and the tight proceeded with unabated fury. For twelve miles down the strug: gle went on, and it proved to be the greatest and most desperate fight on this terrible river. It was maintained by | Stanley's followers with great courage, ' and was the last save ono of thirty-two j battles fought since the expedition had : left Nyangwe. Stanley's losses during the long and terrible journey across the continent from Nyangwe have been very severe. , The continuous fighting in the forests , and on the river reduced the strength of \ ! the expedition daily until it became a question whether any of its members j would ever reach the const. Stanley , states iu liis dispatch: "My grief is ; still uew over the loss of my last white i assistant, the brave and pious young , Englishman, Francis Pocock, who was j swept over the falls of the Massassa on j the third of last June." He adds: "My ( faithful companion, Kalnlu, is also j among the lost." On the samo day that . Pocock was lost Stanley, with seven men, ; were almost drawn into the whirlpools of the Mowa Palis, and six weeks later j himself, with the entire crew of the ( Lady Alice, were swept over the furious ] falls of Muelo, whence only by a miracle f they escaped. 1 1 3 Where Lightning Strikes. i To reassure the timid and nervous 1 some calculations and directions for se- f curity, which, from the frequent occurrence itnd unusual severity of thunder storms, might not bo unacceptable to some, are given. There are seventy thousand chances ( to one against an individual's be- \ iug killed iu . this way in the ] whole year. But as there are perhaps ten of these storms in a season, the ' chances of being killed are as 700,000 ] to one in any one storm. At the worst, 1 there seems to be a half a million 1 chances against a timid lady's having * her terrors realized, according to the doctrine of chances. If she lies down in ' her fright, as she is likely to do, on 1 either a feather bed or hair mattress, ' these chances in-her favor arc multiplied ' to at least a million. Another consolation is that she has ' little to apprehend from a flash of light- j ning wlncli sue lias leisure u> see. as ' light travels 227,260 miles in a second, 1 and lightning only 1,142 feet in the same ' time, you may easily compute the distance of the electric discharge. If 4.02 seconds or six beats of the pulso elapse ' between the lightning and the thunder, ' the discharge is a mile off. To guard against possible danger on 1 its near approach you may insulate your ( bed or chair by putting their legs on glass. Feathers and hair afford great security. There is also less danger after 1 the rain hns begun to fall copiously than ! before, because a moist atmosphere serves as a conductor for the electric ' fluid, diffusing it and conveying it to the earth. A man who is wet, being a better con- * ductor than a tree which cannot be so thoroughly wetted, ought not to stand j under one, and animals, on account of ] their bodies, are always better conductors than trees. But though wrong to 1 stand near a tree, you will be very safe 1 a little beyond the extent of its branches ] ?a position which ought to be chosen, as the higher object will take the light- ' ?r\t* ttaii rmrrJvf. afnnd nil flrv I "'0?

There is a vast difference in people, However moralists and metaphysicians J may class them, thero are opposite points among the most similar which are broad contrasts?sweet and sour, ! i winter and summer?or any other proj verbial antithesis. To some folks the j leaves of a'forest are all alike, and a , '' school full of boys presents only so many '{ fao-similies of each other. Such person- . ages regard all mankind as so many bipeds ; of the difference between them j I they are scarcely conscious. , SnniA nnnnlfi soothe one like a strain of music, while others agitate every ! nerve with the irritating power of a discord. How much might be said about . the difference of people in ifieir charac- j tors and actions. There are those who ( turn pale at the sight of cheese, imdoth- . ' ers who shudder at the mention of car- '{ 1 rots ; this one prefers hard eggs to soft, and that one does not like buckwheat . cakes. These marks by which some, of . j our race are distinguished from the rest, . are but few of those which crowd the mind. There are people who actually , detest children ; tlr se who never have a ( moment to spare and those who don't . know how to get through the day. Your J touchy people who are always pricking j up their ear's to catch the lirst faint sound of an insult, and your people ' without humor who can never either 1 furnish a joke or understand one. There arc two causes of the great difference 1 perceptible in people. Much may certainly be ascribed to education, but much also to constitutional dissimilarity. Here is one on whom good music acts 1 like enchantment; ho cannot sit still while hearing it; his eyes fill with tears; ; he forgets all his troubles, and when the tune has ceased it is still in his mind, bursting out ait intervals in fragments and exclamations, and keeping him awake in the night by its busy mental repetitions. Who shall say that his nature is the same as that of another who finds in the Italian orchestra only a disagreeable scraping, whose lips cannot hum, whose imagination cannot contain a tuue ? And thus on through life anu in every day intercourse if we but obsereve a litte carefully, we will scarcely . ever fiud two people alike?even those pursuing the same avocations and united /i1aoac4 4ina r? nffnnli m oo I* n !

A rich miller of Hankow, near Eger, in Austria, aged sixty, lately married a ! girl of eighteen, who consented to the match on account of his wealth and the urgency of her parents. She was, however, deeply in love with the miller's foreman, and consented to the murder of . i the old man in order to free herself and ! enjoy his wealth. The wedding supper . was largely attended by the villagers, i j and the festivities lasted all night. At dnybreak the miller, according to cust ! torn, visited his mill and was pushed into the stream by the assistant foreman, i who had been drawn into the plot under i a promise of money. The water not ] I being deep, the miller regained his feet, I i and struggled violently with his assassin, ) who was soon assisted by the bride and f | her lover. The two men held him under i the water and ihe girl immersed his 1 J head, which she kept below the surface t until life became extinct; she then took r her lover's nrin and coolly rejoined the 3 guests, witli whom she joined in the t dance. A Russian General. The Plevna correspondent of the London Timex writes : Major General Scobeloff is a character?one of the most striking men I have ever met; he is a son of Lieutenant-General Scobeloff, of the Russian army, nnd has been in every campaign the Russians have had since he was old enough to enter the field. In Khokand, where everything was considered in a critical state, young Scobeloff was left to cover the rear of the army with five battalions and twenty guns. His elders in rank and years had selected him to bear the disgrace of the expected catastrophe; but he did not fancy this situation of affairs, attacked the enemy (numbering forty battalions) m the night, threw them into a panic, and utterly routed them, remaining master of the province. For this he was made a major-general at thirty-ono, and became the object of much envy and calumny at the hands of the officers whose heads he had passed over. At the recent battle of Plevna he had his brigade of Cossacks and a battalion of infantry, the latter numbering about seven huudred men. Three hundred and fortv of this battalion fell in the des pernte contest, one hundred knd seventy of tliem being killed outright; unsupported the remnant were compelled to fall back, but they retreated in good or;ler, bringing away all the wounded, and actually left the deadly line of battle singing one of their wild but very melodious mountain airs. A major-general, thirty-three years of age, tall and handsome, Scobeloft" is the ideal of a benu sabreur :>f the old Murat type. Brave almost to recklessness, yet possessing a certain shrewd aptitude for estimating chances *hd the strength of position. He will make his mark in this campaign Bhould his carelessness of personal langer not bring him before Borne fatal bullet?he has alreaJy been wounded six times during his career. Having been appointed to the staff of the commander of the Plevna army, he was on she way to the camp of his cavalry brigule to turn over the command to his successor. >Vhjr They Dill n't Applaud.

There was no theater building iu the place, nor was there a public hall; but through the aid of several " prominent citizens" the vestry Dt a church was secured for the entertainment. The sexton was a man noted all over the surrounding regions for the rigor of t.he decorum maintained by him in the jhurch and for his summary manner of Jealing with all offenders. When the show people arrived he assisted them in arranging for the entertainment, displaying more kindness than bis severe countenance gave any indication of, and when the curtain went up bo stood leaning against oue of the window sills at the side of the room. At the close of the entertainment the sexton again took hold and assisted the show people in removing their properties. He seemed to bo good-natured and talkative; while "Comical" Brown was quite the reverse. "I tell you what," Baid the sexton with great enthusiasm, "you just want to bring this show here again some time." " Guess not much," growled " Comijal;" "once'll do here." "Why? Wasn't the vestry full, and wasn't they just tickled to death? tickled all up in kinks, eh ?" "I didn't see anything of it.

Worcester Press. A Curious Surgical Operation. A boy named b'rank Hanafln. who had been injured in a sawmill here, and had been, as wo might say, almost skinned alive, was supplied with a new skin by taking pieces from the arms of eight 5r nine other boys. In the accident a very large wound was male in bis back, the surface being one maps of red, quivering flesh, though healthy in appearance. The wound, of course, was very sensitive, and the operation must have been quite painful to him. Dra. Picot and Maynard and an assistant performed tho operation. Around the bed were gathered six or eight Irish boys, from eight to fifteen years of age, from whose arms had been taken, or was to be taken, the skin needed to replace that which was lost. As each was called on by the doctor, he came forward, ami baring his arm, a small pieced skin was 3kilfully cut out with tho lancet and gently placed upon tho raw flesh. About thirty pieces in all were so put on. Several of the boys gave up more than one piece, and Folger Picot, the doctor's son, contributed eight pieces. A younger brother of Hanafiu's gave nearly as many. While the operation was going on the boys joked among themselves on helping to make up Hanafin, and bantered eaeh other on the number of times they had submitted to bo cut into for the benefit of their playmate. The boys were generally very willing to Rive tho skin required, but after a while they evidently began to think enough was us good as a feast, and they movod out Joors, watching further operations through tho window. It is thought, however, that enough will consent to give skin, so that Hanafin's wound will be entirely covered over, thus hastening his recovery, and adding to his comfort wheu the wound shall liave liealed.?Auburn (N. Y.) Advertiser. A Bold Exploit. The following is from the diary of the late Mr. Adolphus, the barrister and historian: " May 8, 1810 : We had a dinner party, among them Mrs. Matthews aud Cnrran, who told an amusing story of an agent to a nobleman in Ireland. It was known to some ruffians in the neighborhood that lie had collected a large sum for rents due to his employer. In the middle of the night he heard thieves breaking into his house. He jumped out of bed, jukI arming himself with a carving knife stood behind the door, and closed it, so that only one could enter at a time, which one would be shown in the moonlight while he remained in the shade. Four of the thieves entered, find were dispatched one after another, those without not knowing what had happened. The fifth saw the gleam of tbe blade in the moonlight, seized the man, and a tremendous scuffle ensued. The agent struck several blows with his weapon, but made no impression. He was got down nnd his antagonist over him, when feeling the knife, he found the point was bent. He had the presence of mind to press it strongly against the floor, so as to turn it back, stabbed his adversary dead, and, os he was alone in the house and could have no assistance till the morning, retired to bed. Ho was knichted for the exploit. Some one said to him: ' I wonder you could go to bed while there were on the floor the corpses of five persons whom you had killed?' His answer was: 'It did make mo very uneasy; I could not get a wink of sleep for nearly an hour!'

"When a prize is placed under your nose, you'd be clumsy if you failed o( to nip it." And when his interlocutor continued ^ the boy proceeded with great earnest- le ness to explain what "a big thing them bi outside hanging pockets ishow he T: " wouldn't blame anybody for going through 'em." "Why," says he, ar "they're the biggest temptation on wi deck, and must have been invented to tease fellers who are hard up." Deeply interested, the lawyer went on with his inquiries, which at last led to B< nn exhibition by the boy on the promise M that he should not get into trouble. He Hi strolled tlirough the market with his in- 8t quisitive companion, and on the way u took four silk handkerchiefs and a diary Oc from the pockets of five different ladies and put them back again without being w observed by any person beside the law- _ yer. Then they walked up Michigan bJ Grand avenue to the Russell House cor- j*1 ner, and on the way the boy "nipped," ^ as lie called it, a pocket-book from the Oc pocket of a young lady and handed it to ^ the lawyer, who courteously lifted his hi hat and returned it the owner, as if it ?< had fallen from her pocket. Fj Near the Russell House corner the boy attempted to " nip " a silk handkerchief from one of these "outside hanging t>e baskets," as he termed the pockot, but w the article would not come out, and the young expert turned to his companion Bi with: "It's pinned! Now watch mo do a good job." Glancing hastily around, the boy took a position juRt <>i back of the lady?who was waiting for a car?and to all appearances was busily Et engaged in looking at a lightning calculator, who was lecturing to a 6treet ^ audience a few feet away. Ho stood ck there about half a minute, when he o? sauntured carelessly taward the lawyer, jj; slyly exhibiting tho handkerchief. Not Bi satisfied with his work, the boy winked and again took his position near the lady, jj* In 9 few seconds he attracted the atten- h. tion of the lawyer and exhibited the ^ handkerchief partially in the pocket, as though it had been pulled nearly out. c< At the boy's request the gentleman ac- 0) costed the lady with * p, " Madam, are you losing your hand- w kerchief." " Thank yon, but it won't fall entirely out," auswered tho lady, as she pulled a upon it to show that she had taken the ^ precaution to pin it into her pocket. f; Thus ended the experimental trip, o< made in the most public part of the city, ^ and in broad daylight and as the boy received for his reward a silver quarter, he shuffled off in the direction of the city ? hall, Baying to his late companion: l "Them pockets is the easiest thing in u the world to strip, and I hope the fashion will hang on forever. si r* The Toad and Its Habits. Formerly the tond wns considered a J venomous Top tile, but in our day its habits liavo been more carefully observed, and its great value to the pomo- i logist and gardener has been fully estab- ^ lished on account of its propensity for destroying insects, especially those in- _ jurious to vegetation. We should, 1 therefore, sedulously cultivate tho friend- ? ship and cravo the assistance of the inscctiverous reptiles, including tho Si striped snake, as well as that of birds. Every tidy housewife detests the 1 cockroach, mice and other vermin. Two J 1 X -1 1.1 1 ? or uiree aomesucaieu rowis wouui Aewp ^ the coast clear of these, anil would be <i found more desirable than a cat, cs they ^ iiro wholly free from trespnssiug on the rights of man ns docs tho cat. The toad > is possessed of a timid and retiriug }' nature, loving dark corners and shady 'J places, but under kind treatment becoming quite tame. Many instances might be cited of pet toads remaining several years in a family, and doing valuable service with rio other compensation than immunity from persecution. All that is necessary ^ to secure their co-operation in-door or out, is to provide them with cool and safe retreats by day, convenient access to 0 water, and they will go forth to the per- ? formance of their nocturnal duties, "without money and without price." In Europe toads are carried to the ^ cities to market, and are purchased by the horticulturists, who, by their aid, are 11 -II 1 1_ ll T enameu 10 Keep ju kuuuk me mmupucu- i tion of the insect tribes which prey upon J the fruits, flowers, etc. No one can study the anatomy of this reptile without bein? convinced of its A perfect'adaptatiou to the sphere which it tills in the economy of nature. Its tongue, which is capable of great elongation, is attached to the uiiterior portion of the lower jaw ; its free end when the toad 1 is in repose, reaching down to the I borders of the stomach. Tbe moment the toad sees its prey, its eyes o sparkle, its toeH twitch, and quicker than b the eyes cau follow, the insect is trans- ' fixed and conveyed to the stomach of the t captor. ^" a Tho Fairbankses have oxecuted orders from j! the United StatoR government the past threo c years for over 7,500 scales.
