In our own time the Russians have the creilit ot excelling all other nationi in dealing with foreign affairs. A Russian diplomatist is supposed to be a happy combination of Maclnavelli and Mephiatophel training before going abroad : but most of them are sent straight, to some foreign cap- ital as unpaid attache to the Minister. They must have an income of their own of at least I'J.OUO a year, and they must not get into debt. That rule is very strict. There is a story told of a Minister for Foreign Affairs who hail a son in the diplomatic service, a very promising young man, bat given to habits of extravagance. 'Jne .lay a tradesman waited on the Minister and told him he had a heavy bill against his son, of which he could not get payment, and he begged his Lordship to settle it. The Minister replied: . . t 1 __.!__ I . __._. _ _ * I The object, of course, is to keep up the tone and the high name of the British dip- lomatic service, which is respected for iu decorum all over the world. THE YuCSii OFFICIALS are laugh, from the very beginning that any pretension to that kind of superiority They are rather proud of declaring that diplomacy is " a game they do not under stand," and the reputation of stupidity which they have everywhere abroad is not displeasing to them. The fact is, in this, as in many other matters, foreigners are great- ly misled by the externals of English char- acter. They mistake self-control for dul- ness and blunt honesty for simplicity ; and they do not realize the tenacity of purpose that is ingrained in the polished, easy-going, ' open-hearted free-living, bat eminently re- spectable noblemen and gentlemen who rep- resent the Queen abroad.

HUMI BRILLIANT frBOKE A much sadder case was that of a nephew of the Duke of Wellington, a most brilliant man, who had performed valuable diplomat- ic services and was on the high road to IM OVKKIIM 111 KMI* r Ml I tniheallr *ew at Hit BotDSM nurtng Mr- term multu. While all sorts of rumors have been afloat about hinin Pasha, and he has lieen repeat- edly reported to have succumbed to his hardships, news comes at la-it from a per- fectly authentic source that he has mado some extremely interesting geographical discoveries. This news comes from Dr. Stuhlmann, who was Kmin's comrade on his journey aud who has written to his father in Germany a brief report of Emin'a dis- coveries. His letter is published in Peter- maun's Mitteilungen, and has also been re produced in Le Mouvemeut (ieorgr iphi.|ue, together with a map showing the discover- ies. He has in fact, completed the exploration of that long mysteriout lake, Mut. in N/ige, or, as Stanley renamed it on his Uat trip, Lake Albert Edward. Stanley explored the north and east coasts of the lake, but its western and southern shores remained undefined. It was, therefore, not known how far it extended in those directions. This is the problem which Emin has solved. Stuhlmann aays Kmin set out without any intention whatever t.) return to bis old province, but his idea was merely to make a Oraphical investigation of the border between the British and Herman spheres especially with a view to fixing the of foreign diplomacy they have, in reality, gained an overwhelming advantage which was not foreseen. Their supposed guileless- . ness is a good deal like that of the Heathen their first duty is to be gentlemen, and no conduct unbecoming a gentleman is ever overlooked, no matter how powerful the offender's family may be.

He skirted the southern broke down as the breach of promise. But shores, continued his inarch in a noi therly direction along the west coast, discovered ranges of mountains west of the lake, one of which Dr. Stuhlmann ascended to a height of about 1 1,1)00 feet, and finally reached the west shore of Albert Nyanza, where he found .(uite a large number of his former followers living at Kavalli, the big native Nyanza was merely a back-waterof the Kile a deep trough into which the Nile had poured and after filling it had resumed its journey north. Thin hypothesis was baaed upon the explorations of UMHSI Pasha, who circumnavigated Albert Nyanza aud re- ported that he had beeu unable to find any tributaries. Masnii proved, however, that an impor- tant tributary did ent-r the laks from the south. The question now was whether this river carried the waters of the lake which Stanley had seen to Albert Nyanui and the Nile. A number of geographers argued that MntaNzige probably had no connec- tion with the Nile system, but waa more likely to empty its waters into the Congo. This Muestion was set at rest by Stanley on his last journey, who found that the river which Mason .-ailed the Bed River, and to whinh Stanley gave iu native name. Semliki, two lakes and Mutu N/ige or Al- bert Ny in/a, is, therefore, part of the Nile y*tein. Kmin bus now proved that the lake is hardly as large as Albert Nyanza, though it has nearly twice the widtli of that lake. He has defined its southern tributaries. It does not extend further south than I 5 .111' S. Lat. Its western coast, roughly speak- ing, extends almost i.orthw.-st and south- east. Two large peninsulas indent its northern shores. The detailed reports of these explorations have not yet been received. They will doubtless prove of the highest get-graphical interest. \V: ether Emin is dead or alive, the laurel will be given him of finally having settled the conundrums that have related to one of the most discussed and disputed of African lakes.

It is thai of dying carrier pigeons. This, however, as explained by Mr. Tegelmeier in his curious lecture on this subject, published in "The Journal of tha United Service Institution," is on the strict condition that both the birds and the tenders are English. In Bel- gium alone, according to this authority, there are 600,000 racing birds, which in case of a war would be put at the disposal of the government, and everyone of these is a trained bird. They used, it is stated, to train them over the south of France, but that is now interdicted, and no birds from Belgium or Germany are allowed to be trained in France. The fear, of course, is that iu the event of a war trained pigeons would be bmuggled into the interior, and thus information could be carried out.

I*, is not so much a service as a profession. The men who devote their lives to it are special- ly educated to it from childhood. In many instances their calling is hereditary. They are ambassadors fiom generation to gener- ation. Whole families belong to the For- eiirn Office, just as others are naval families or military families. Take, for example, Sir K.I ward Malet, British Ambassador at Berlin. He is the son of Sir Alexander Malet, British Minister at Frankfort, and was born at the British embassy at the Hague in Is:i7, the year of the Queen's ac- cession. He was educated at Eton and Ox- ford expressly for a diplomatic career, and when barely seventeen was appointed at- tache at Frankfort.

I went on his way toBukoba, where he arriv ed on Feb. 13. It will be remembered that Stanley on his southward journey, discovered the Mfuin- biro Mountain, a very high peak, and that later the English and Herman authorities, in fixing the boundaries between their pos sessions, made the line deflect to thfl north to pass around the northern part of the big mountain. Stuhlmann saya that this moun- far lens, tnd the view all along the journey, it is said, will be remarkably fine. The top of the Jungfrau, besides, is so sharp that in order to build a railroad station there it would be absolutely necessary to make an artificial plateau, and this expense would b obviated on the summit of the Eiger. The top of the Jungfrau also is often bathed in clouds, while the lower summit of the Eiger is usually free from this obstacle, which tourists view with such vexation. It is likely, therefore, that the Kiner project will be carried out soouo than the Jungfrau scheme.

Sir Henry Pi n !mn<>n. 1 Wolff, recently appointed Am- bassador to Rome, was born at Malta, and entered the Foreign Office when he was ten years old '. He got his appointment through the influence of his mother, Lady Ueorgma Wal)K>l". daughter of the Earl of Oxford, the Walpoles being a notable diplomatic family. And so it goes on. In the first in- stance the appointments are made by sheer favoritism ; but after that the young men are sifted and sorted according to the stulf that is in them, and iu the higher grades promotion goes by merit alone. The rule is that no one is admitted into the diplomatic service except gentlemen by birth and education. They need not have noble blood, but it is considered all the bat- ter if they have. They have not time to get much book learning, but they generally go to Eton or Harrow and then for a year or two to Oxford or Cambridge. Even Sir Drummond Wolff, the ten year old diplo- matist, went to Rugby for a little while.

His heights were measured by the which he has his for life. That, pension of $" ,3UO intact j extreme perhaps, was an case, but it may be said generally that if an Ambassador does not spend more than his salary he deems it a point of honor not to make anything out of it. Honor, in fact, is the foundation of the whole service. To be a Grand Crow of the Bath and a Privy Councillor to be received by the Queen as a trusted friend above all, have sole charge of " British interests" in the country wjiere he serves these are the object! and reward of a British diplomatist. His crowning glory is to perform such a service that when he comes home to die after half a century or more ot exile, anxiety, and labor, he may rest his bones under a slab of stuiie in the nave of Westminster Al.U-v.

It has fallen to Emin, therefore, to solve one of the last remaining problems connect- ed with the Nile. When Stanley first vis- ited the African lake regions he reaclie 1 the precipitous shores of the unknown lake, which has now been explored. He saw only so much of it as he could determine through bis glass from a single point on the coast. At the nortbren end of the lake he pliced on his map a considerab'e area wliicn was supposed to Ira an island, but which proved to be a large peninsula, jutting into the lake. He did not kn^ whether the lake was connected with the Nile or Congo sys- tems, and geographers were soon busying themselves with this problem. About the same timo Mason, while ex ploring Albert Nyanza, found a big river flowine into its southern end which he nam e.l, on account of it* color, the Red River. This' was a^ost important discovery, for goographei-sp^ about decided that Albert upper end, which reached a couple of feet above the water. To his astonish- ment, ho found that he could MS) quite a distance into the water almost as plainly as he could see objects on the land with his naked eye. That fact throw him into a train of thought out of which be evolved an instrument with which ho could get trout in any pool, although the fish might be at the bottom and refuse to bite. He got a piece of reed about seven feet long, ami on the lower end, after lie. hail burned out the pith and joints perfectly smooth, he fixed a round piece of glass, (listening it by a cement to the edges of tha pole. Along the outside of his pole he attached through small rins, a slender teid rod with a barbed point. With his polo undir water and hix eye at the upper end he had no difficulty in locating his game, an.) by very slowly end quietly getting u -trance he would, when the iMint of his submarine telescope was within few inches or a foot of the fish, let loose a snmll but strong spring at the upper end of the spear, driving the spear into the tisfl and securing it past escape.
