ninety dollars per week, as my correspondence was of public interest, being the records of the various expeditions against the warlike Indians of the plains. By economy and hard work, though now and then foolishly impulsive, I have been able to save three thousand dollars, that is, six hundred pounds. Hearing of the British expedition to Abyssinia, and as the Indian troubles have ceased, I ventured at the beginning of December last to throw up my engagement with the Democrat, proceeded to Cincinnati and Chicago, and collected my dues, which were promptly paid to me; and in two cases, especially the Chicago Republican, most handsomely. I then came over to New York, and the Tribune and Times likewise paid me well. John Russell Young, the Editor of the New York Tribune, was pleased to be very complimentary, and said he was sorry he knew of nothing else in which he could avail himself of the services of such an indefatigable correspondent. Bowing my thanks, I left the Tribune, and pr

She is in every way worthy. September 13th. Left Syra for Smyrna by the Menzaleh. Virginia was quite affectionate, and, though I am outwardly calm, my regrets are keener at parting than I expected. However, what must be, must be. September 26th. Received answer from London that I am to go to Barcelona, via Marseilles, and wire for instructions on reaching France. September 27th. Wrote a letter to Evangelides and Virginia's mother, that they must not expect my return to Syra unless they all came to a positive decision, and expressly invited me, as it would be an obvious inconvenience, and likely to be resented at headquarters.

Oh, yes. I have travelled in the East, and been to Europe several times. Well, how would you like to do this on trial? Pay your own expenses to Abyssinia, and if your letters are up to the standard, and your intelligence is early and exclusive, you shall be well paid by the letter, or at the rate by which we engaghalf of Stanley's book, Coomassie and Magdala. The campaign has become a chapter of history; the detention of Consul Cameron by the tyrannical King Theodore, of Abyssinia, continued for years; the imprisonment and abuse of other officers and missionaries, to the number of sixty; the fruitless negotiations for their release; the de

In a few minutes he had placed in my hands a letter to Colonel Finlay Anderson, Agent of the New York Herald, The Queen's Hotel, St. Martin's Le Grand, London ; and thus I became what had been an object of my ambition, a regular, I hope, correspondent of the New York Herald.

Indians. These two expeditions he reported in a series of letters to the Missouri Democrat, which, in 1895, he made into the first of two volumes, My early travels and Adventures. It is the graphic story of a significant and momentous contact of civilization with savagery. Two years after the close of the Civil War, the tide of settlers was swiftly advancing over the great prairies of the West. The Union Pacific Railroad was being pushed forward at the rate of four miles a day. The Powder River military road was being constructed to Montana, and forts erected along its line, through the best and most reliable hunting-grounds of the Sioux, and without their consent. The Indians throughout a wide region were thrown into a ferment, and there were outbreaks against the white settlers. In March, a force was sent out under General Hancock, which Stanley accompanied, with the general expectation of severe fighting. But General Hancock soon imparted to Stanley his views and purposes,

West and East: Indian wars of the West.--Abyssinian campaign, etc. Stanley writes: My first entry into journalistic life as a selected special was at St. Louis after my return from Asia Minor. Hitherto, I had only been an attache, or supernumerary, as it were, whose communications had been accepted and most handsomely rewarded, when, as during the two bombardments of Fort Fisher, they described events of great public interest. I was now instructed to write-up North-western Missouri, and Kansas, and Nebraska. In 1867, I was delegated to join General Hancock's expedition against the Kiowas and Comanches, and, soon after the termination of a bloodless campaign, was asked to accompany the Peace Commission to the Indians. These two expeditions he reported in a series of letters to the Missouri Democrat, which, in 1895, he made into the first of two volumes, My early travels and Adventures.

ons in a sensible and gallant fellow. As a correspondent he scored a marked success, for which he had good fortune, as well as his own pains, to thank. On his way out, he had made private arrangements with the chief of the telegraph office, at Suez, about transmitting his despatches. My telegrams, he notes in the Journal, are to be addressed to him, and he will undertake that there shall be no delay in sending them to London, for which services I am to pay handsomely if, on my return, I hea. In the Red Sea, the steamer stuck aground for four days; and, under the broiling heat, an exchange of chaff between a colonel and captain generated wrath and a prospective duel; Stanley's mediation was accepted; reconciliation, champagne, and — Suez at last; but only to face five days of quarantine!

On the 22nd, by the steamer Hecla. That is the day after to-morrow. Well, consider it arranged. Just wait a moment while I write to our agent in London. In a few minutes he had placed in my hands a letter to Colonel Finlay Anderson, Agent of the New York Herald, The Queen's Hotel, St. Martin's Le Grand, London ; and thus I became what had been an object of my ambition, a regular, I hope, correspondent of the New York Herald. On the 22nd, in the morning, I received letters of introduction from Generals Grant and Sherman, which I telegraphed for, and they probably will be of some assistance among the military officers on the English expedition. A few hours later, the mail steamer left. I had taken a draft on London for three hundred pounds, and had left the remainder in the
