JMX AMERICAN DELEGATES. Ii!r'.icd by Blaine and Presi dent Harrison. Wasiiixotox, April 19th. The Pan American congress adjourned sine die, to-day, after passing resolutions, pledging their countries to assist at the world s fair. Blaine made an address on the work accomplished, and con cludes sis follows : 1 um instructed by the president to express the wish, that before the members of the conference leave for their distant homes, they will accept the hospitality of the United States in a visit to the Southern section of the union, similar to one they have already made to the Eastern and "Western sections." The delegates were driven to the White House, shortly after noon, and were there received and addressed by the president, who in the course of his address said : "L remark with pleasure a proposi tion which will be productive of peace among the American states repre sented in tne conference. It will be without excuse if one of them shall lirt a hostile hand against the other. We gave you, the other day, a renew of a small detachment of the American army, not to show you that we have an army, but that wo have none, that our securities are lodged with our people and that they are safe."

But the most wondetful and strange use to which this great animal is put is to work in and about sawmills. In farther India orBurmah, along the banks of the rivers Irawady and Saluen, forests of teak abound. This timber grows tall and straight. Its grain has the color and appearance of black walnut, but has the strength and consistency of white oak. It is extensively used for shipbuilding in England, and largely imported there for that purpose. It Ls unsurpassed for deck planks, or any other wood work on a skip. Immense sawmills have been erected with foreign capital nearllangoou and Manlmain, which towns are situated respectively at the moutlis of the above named rivers. These mills are owned and managed by English and Chinese capitalists. Chinamen, by the way, are heartily welcomed as im migrants to this quai ler of the world, and actively engage in all kinds of business; they are more desired as colonists, aud greater inducements are offered to them, than to many or the Europeans who come to our shores. Manlmain is perhaps the most noted for its timber industry, and the largest herds of elephants are there employed. In ltangooii the largest null had six elephant operatives. Tho writer j was so fascinated at the sight of these . ponderous beasts stalking about the mill yards and still more wonder ful a mill floor, amid noisy ma chinery, with the shrieking of circular saws on even side, and nnllevs and i bands above, that he visited evervj mill in the vicinitv. The male ele-1 phants have the lips of their tasks! cut oil and supplied with bras? knobs, Each one is managed by a driver who ' sits on its neck just behind the ears, ' assisted bv a native on foot All the employes are natives. Ench elephant has a heavy leather collar, ' into which log-chains are hooked for traces. When logs are to be hauled the assistant drives an iron dog into the log and hitches a chain to it, and tho elephant drags it along the bare ground with the greatest of ea-e. He threails his way sometimes in places between piles of logs where horses would cut themselves or fall, and when a chain trace gets between his legs he knows enough to step over it, which a horse does not. Iu this way the surplus are dragged out of the water, and other elephants workiug together assist each other in piling them. The timber is water soaked and extremely heavy. Meantime other elephants, many of them im mense creatures, appearing to be twice tho size of show ones, are pass ing iu and out of tho mills, dragging out the slabs, plank and square tim ber.

Xenophou severely reproached the Persians for guarding their hands against the cold by wearing thick, heavy gloves. A philosopher of the first century said it was shameful that persons in perfect health should clothe their hands aud feet with soft, hairy covering. A cer tain"Romau glutton, when iti;tl to a banquet, always made his appearance at the table with gloves on, as thy enabled him to snatch at the viand's while they were hot, and thus hi could eat more thnu the other guests. This was before table forks cam into use. The glove has figured iu important ceremonies in times past It is not alone an ornament lor dainty hands, or an emblem or the boxer's art In the middle ages glove3 were often em ployed in ceremonies or investiture, and bishops, both in France and Ger many, were frequently put iu inisses sion of theirsees by the formal delivery of a glove. Hence it became so nearly connected with ecclesiastical forms that the church more than once solemnly considered tho subject Tn Franca in the beginning of the ninolh century, the council of Ai forbade the monks to wear gloves of any other material than sheepskin. Gloves, therefore, were considered a mark of dignity and honor. At the coronation of French kings gloves werosolcmnly blessed and given to the monarch, and the custom vas only abandoned with theestabhshm. nt of the first republic To lake away a knight's gloves was a mark of disgrace, same :ls hacking offhi spurs.

Stanley's book is completed. The work abounds in graphic illustrations of the character of the inhabitants of the dark conti nent, and contains enrious details concerning tho forest dwarfs, to whom bus lettera referred, and in whom tho iuterest of the civilized world is aroused. In his description of the dwellers, Stanley states that they possess mauy good a ualities which was wholly unsuspected by all, except those who have come into immediate relations with them, and who have cultivated their friendship. Tho race is quite intelligent aud possesses a decidedly higher grade of morality then the negro. It is the only monogamous race in Africa, and stauds quite alone in regard for the sacredness of the marital relations. They are skilled workers in iron and betray more ready adaptability to civilization, than any other people of that region. The dwarf qneeu lecamo a great friend of Stanley and Dr. Parke, and accompanied them on tlie expedition, for a considerable pari or their road, but unfortunately hhe died. Dr. Parke published an exhaustive and interesting account of his medical experience in Afrie i. He describes an cxtraordinary di-r-.-ue, rife among among the natives. It is produced by the larvae of worms, which enter the twdy through the feet, and extend their progress up ward as far sw the hips. Their pres ence canses severe swellings and ulcers aud finally death. Stanley applies his facts to theories relating to the idtimate rise of the negroes in the scale of civilation. He places them more on au eqality with the whites, than most ex plorers are willing to admit. Tins seems due to his better knowl edge, of them consequent upon his christian sympathy with their natures, and his nn variable efforts to cultivate their good will and respectful in timacy. At Brussels, at the slavery confer ence, in May, Stanley will dwell on the horrors of the practices resorted to by the Arab slave hnnters in getting their goods, which are worse than the prac tices o slave hnmtcrs, since the latter have an interest in the lives of their slaves, which the former have not, and burn all before them. Stanlev states that the forest dwarfs have tho oldest history in the world, tracing their line- ago back fifty centuries. Trouble IJrciviiig for tlie Czar.

The Dangers Attending the Gill Net Fisherman. The dangers besetting a Columbia bar fisherman are such that few per sons, says the Gazette, outside of those engaged in the business, have any real idea of the exposures and vicissitudes these toilers, on the brink of the briny deep, have to contend with, in ply;?' their vocation. Bar fishing proper, does not com mence to any extent until about the middle of May. But from that time till the season closes in August, most of tho fishing on the Columbia river is done near and even beyond the bar. The average fisherman takes his net in the boat and proceeds for Sand island. Fort Stevens or the Cape as it is called, is situated directly at the mouth of the river. Here he casts his anchor and waits nntil the tide ans wers, to lay out his net. From the moment his net is out he has to be on a constant watch, for perchance the deceiving tide and eddies, have been changed by tlie action of freshets and storms, and carries him in a directly opposite direction from that antici pated. Woe betide the fisherman, who gets carried on the Republic Spit, commonly called the "Fisher men's Graveyard." Hero are buried the bones of hundreds of their best and most successful comrades, who were lured to their doom through these deceiving tides and eddies. On many occasions the spits and fiats are smooth and calm, and the fisherman ventures for the sake of a few fish, but tho deceptive flood tide comes in like a flash, and what, a minute before, was a calm and smooth surface, is now the scene of wild and raging breakers. At such periods' as these many cut away from their nets and try to pull out for safety. Others again in the hope of saving their net, try to pick it up. Some succeed, but many are swamped and drowned. At other times again, when the fog comes, casting a gray, impenetrable veil over the face of the waters, and the air i3 cold and chilling, many a poor fellow, while struggling to save his net, finds a watery grave. By far, the worst of all the hidden dangers that has to be met with is the dreaded south-west gale. It springs up rapidly and plays sad havoc with our fishing fleet. Its coming is generally noticeable by a large black cloud gath ering towards the sonth-west,but as yet accompanied by no wind. The fisher man, hoping that it will not amount to muchjlays out his net and drifts towards the bar. Others again, are more pru dent, and will wait fora time until the tide gets slacker, and with no appear ance of wind, will also lay out. Then, all at once, as though tho storm had been waiting for its opportunity to get all the nets out, it bursts forth without a moment's warning, carrying devasta tion and death in its track. The fish ermen attempt to save their nets and get to a place of safety, but in many cases it is then too lato. and many a poor soul is consigned to a watery grave, and his remains ore seldom or never found. No one can ever know the fearful struggle these poor fellow3 make before the angry waves claim them as their victims. Sometimes sad evdeinces of their fight has come to light in the shape of bodies, with arms and legs washed away, giv ing unmistakeable evidence of the struggle that had ensued. When found they are generally buried there and then above high water mark. Tho sad affair leaves no deep im pression upon tho minds of the public, but on the heart of the anxious mother or wife is left a remembrance of the departed, that only eternity can efface from their memories, as they gaze on their loved ones, still and motionless in the arms of death. tfo Mere Weather Talkers, They. Two men, who are neighbors and friends, rode for a mile yesterday morning on the platfoim of a street car without speaking, and a third party, who noticed it, afterward sought them out to see what was tho trouble.

"Trouble!" repeated the second. "Brown and I are all right." "But why didn't you speak?" "Well, I didn't want to say it wa3 raining when he stood there with the water dripping down his back, and he probably didn't want to mention any thing about spring being here, a3 he knew that I had eyes and ears.
