A GERMAN VIEW OF STANLEY AND EMIN.

(kxtraqts from fathkr schynze's wary.) Father Schynze, who accompanied Stanley and Emm from the Victoria Nyitnza to tho coast, gives (the J)ollt/ Xeira correspondent Bays) the following description in his diary of Emm and Stanley '. — "The difference between Emm and Stanley is veiy marked. The former is absorbed in scientific research,, a very plain man, who lives more for euience tlan anything else, and is a learned linguist. Emm is iv delicate health ; but -when we offer him wine which we keep for Holy Mas <, he brings it hack without tasting it. ' I ;im going to ask for it some day,' he says, * for a sick man ; please save it until then.' It is a riddle to mo how he can live and stand the journey. In tho morning he has a cup of Turkish ooffee without anything to eat. Then follows the march, during which he does not get down from his ass. In camp it is often evening before his me* son attend to him. I never 'saw a European in Africa who could get on with so little. Oh the other hand, he cannot work without his desk and his chair. His time byJongs to science ; his spare moments to his little daughter, whom he guards as tho apple of his eye. She is always carried just before him, co that he cun watch her in spite of his poor sight." At tho first visit of the missionaries Mr. Stanley was very friendly aud cheerful ; but he is evidently loss liked by Father Schynze than Einiu is. He says: — ' ' Stanley is a leader, a commander. More than onoe lie would like to break off all negotiations with the negro chiefs, and treat them to leal and powder: but he curbs himself, to avoid useless bloodshed. He lcce^s strict order. At sunrise a shrill whistle, sounded by Stanley himself, orders everybody to take his place iv the caravan and march. He maintains the strictest discipline, and hisiven know him ; scarcely has the last sound of tho whistle died away before all stand ready to march with their burdens on their shoulders. Stanley lights his short pipe, and, armed with a long eano, walks at the head of the card van, followod by a boy with d parasol, his servant with a Winchester rifle, and a Waugwnna who leads his ass. Then follows the caravan. After an hour or two Stanley mounts his ass, and the Bpcod of the inarch is then much increased, but nono of Stanley's men lag behind. But the groat traveller can also be moiTv. Ho sits under a tree smoking his pipo and watching the pitching of his tent. When this is dove he disappears into it, and does not appear again until after sunset. I think he spends that pint of the day in writing his notes, for whenever I have entered I have found him siUingby a large book. When he returns to Europo the euriouß world will not need to wait long for some vory interesting reading. I believe that the description ©f the journey will be ready as soon ac \/o come to the coast, for Stanley does not need to pay much attention to his «aravaa now, as the officers do all. If Stanley is ift a cheerful frame of mind, then the minutes wo spend while tho tents are being pitched are the moro interesting of the whou) day He then tells inoident after incident from hie adventurous life with suoh fire and such vigorous expression that we forget, how biokon his French is."
