Roprosentative Mills has introduced a bill into Congress providing for the removal of all the Unitod Btates soldiers in tho South to tho Wost- ern frontiers, whero they may proteot whito mon, inatead of sorving, s now, to overawo them. The word *stationery,” iho defintion of which has puzzled Legislatures and other pub- lic bodies for so many yoars, has now beon for~ mally decided by the Senato of the United States to includo in ite meaning only ink, pens, paper, suvelopes, pencils, and mucitage. The Common Council Iast evening confirmed the nominations of M. 0. Hickey for Police Cap- izin, and Louis Wahl as member of the Board of Public Works, The ordinanca was passed re- quiring tho cars of tho West Side Railway to be run all night. Another ordinance is nowin order recognizingthat it is a poor rule which doos not work North as well a8 West. The Corporation Counegel gives it as his opinion that Mr, Hamil- ‘on was properly confirmed as Boiler-Inspector. How mauny and what members of Congress aro stockholders in the National Bauks, is sn inter- esting inquiry tothose who are watching finan- vinl logislation, and is one which that body is in uo mood to have answored. A resolution was submitted yestorday in the House of Reprosent- atives, by Mr. Buckner, calling on the Secre- taryof the Trensury to give this information, but the necessary two-thirds vote could not be obtained to suépend the rule ———— Among the amendmonts recommended by the Judiciary Committee to tho Bankruptoy bill, oue repeals tho provision now in force requiring that a discliargo in voluntary bankruptoy shall be given only when the assets are 50 per cent of the lia- bilities, and grants discharge when tho assots equal 83 per cent. Another provides that cred- itors for less than 8250 shall not be reckonod as part of the one-quarter of the creditora who must join in the petition to have a debtor de- clarad bankrupt. Rafferty's counsel arguod their motion for a fourth trial of thoir client yestorday, at Wauke- gan. Thoy base their application mainly on alloged suppressions and perjury in the testi- mony of Officor Scanlon, and on the intimida- tion of the fury by the Sheriff's doputy, who told them that unless they agreed they would bo kept in confinoment from Thureday till Mon- dny. Thoy also hold that Rafforty’s crime was of no higher grade than manalaughtor. The de- cision of the Courtia reserved, Among the duties of the Miesissippi Legisla- turo nt tho present seseion will be that of eloct- ing a Unitod States Scuator. This fact is known by the Mississippi delegation in the National Houso of Reprosentatives, threo of whom are uo v at the Stato Capital looking out for their in- ‘terosts. The Logielature has not, thus far, shown & proference for any one of these gentle- men, but, determined not to 1gnore their pres- nco in Jackson, the Lowor House has adopted n tegolution requesting them to return to their post and dischargs their duty toward their con- stituonts, Senator Morton has apparently got somo new light on the Louisiaua case, probably from the luminary at the other end of Pennsylvania svenue. Instend of pressing his motion to admit Pinchback as Senator on the prima facie nspects of bis case, he moves now tor a furthor investigation, in view of recont developmonts, of Pinchback's counduct in the Iato election. Senator McCreery, of Kon- tucky, took an effectivo part in the debate on the motion, and showed to tho amusement of the Seuate how tho eleotions wore condusted in Loulsiana. Furthor doebate on the question goos over for a fow days to allow tho Seuntors to resume their financial discussion. President Grant withholds his menssage until submitted to the Cablnet. Disracli's address sceking s re-olootion to Par- linment from his constituents in Buckingham~ shire is a severo attack on Promior Gladstone d his Adminlstration, He Bpoaks of the 'Profirar's statoment of his futura finanalal policy %8 conveying “ the disquisting informution " ' that there muet bo an increase of oxisting taxes,” His Adminiatration i tormed o ** mid- Ung " oue, and his ends are declared to be tought **byincessant harassing legialation," Hisdomos- t1c polioy hos beon **domestio folly,” In conclu- sfon, Mr. Gladstone {8 twitted with the fact that smong his supporters are assailants of the mon- archy, of tho fudopendence of the House of Lords, aud advooates of the disoatablishment of the English Church, and the exclusion of rell gion from natlonal education, The Ohleago produco markets ware generally stronger yostorday, with & larger business in most dopartmonts, Mess pork was in fair do- wand and 900 per brl higher, closing at $14.40@ 1445 oosb, wad QILAS@LLE0 soller Fobruary, Lard was sative, and 100 per 109 b hights, alosing nt 30,20@0.25 cndb, and 90.26@0.975¢ sollor Fobraary.

Bhoop wero inactive, An intorosting lotter from a prominont mem- ber of the Board of Trade of this clty on tho logislation pending at Springflold to forbid deal- ing in *options™ will bo found in our columng this morning, 'The writor oxplains the different clasgon of options, snd shows that the groat bulkk of tho business dome in this way is an actunl eslo and purchase of prop- orly. Tho facilitios of warehousing and inspoction which woro firat establishod in this city havo made these sales possible for fu- ture dolivery, and have made Chicago the largost and best market in tho world for broadstuffs and provisions, This, the writer thinks, cannot have beon done to the dotriment of the farm- ers, Bulos for futuro delivery enablo tho farm- ora to moll their orops st any iime of the your, and enable thom to got advancos on thelr cropn long before they are fit for market, In this way they are ofton saved from tho ne- cossity of forcing sales of their property to moot toxos and deobts, and, in addition, they get highor pricos than if thers were no speculative trading. A PITIABLE PLIGHT, The iden sectus to havo at last forced its way into President Grant’s mind that the peoplo of Louisiana havo & botter right than Judge Duroll or himself to chooso tho Government of Loni- inus, This looks like a solf-avident truth, but it has taken tho Executive fourteon months to learn it. Nevertheless, it is better Iato than never. For over & yoar Louisisna has boen ruled by organized outlawry, which was foisted into power by the decreo of a Judge sgainst whom articles of impeachment have since boon filed; which was installed in the State-Houso by 8 United States Marshal and United States troops; and which has been keptin power by tho President of the Unitod Btatos, who has propped tho tottering fabric of usurpation with Unitet States bayonots, In tho winter of 1872-3 a Sonato Committee of moven Republicans unanimously declared that Kel- fogg had not a sbadow of evidence in support of his olaim to the Governor- ship, and that Judge Duroll's interferonco was a glaring outrago. Tho President, howevor, con- tinued to sustain Kellogg. He sent a mosssgo to Congress saying that he would continue to do 8o until Congress should othorwiso direct him., At the samo time, it was well undorstood that any Congrossman who should presums to direct the Executive otherwise would have the Civil- Sorvico Roform onforced in his district with unrelonting vigor. It has proved too much for him, His prompt refusal to sot up » socond edition of Kelloggism in Toxas showed that his burned fingers dreaded tho fire. Tho Associated Press dispatches, which s&re evidently * inspired,” plaintivoly pload that he had to support Durell's decisions, ‘ whatever may hava boon his own opinious on the political quos- tions offered by them, “ The principal polit- ical question involved waa tho right of a United Btates Judge to choose a State Govern- ment whon hie had not zeen the roturns of the election, the result of which he had the auda-'| city to declare, An opinion on this point ought to have been easily formed, and ought, whon formed, to have proventod the telegram to Gen. Emory whioh put the army at Kellogg's call. ‘The dispatches go on to say that the President has not interfored with the admission of alleged AL, C's from Louisiana into Congress, This was kind, indeod! Again, we are in- formed that he considers the so-called election of Kollogg ‘‘an organized fraud.,” By turning this montal somersault, the Executive hos fiually reached the truth that other people grasped in 1872, Tho only hintof the planhe will propose 08 a practical remody for the ro- sults of his disastrous blunder is a negative one. Ho will not recommend a now election, because he thinks Congress has no power to do 8o, Ro- Jocting this idea, wo have three possible plans: A count of the original roturns; the mainto- nance of Xollogg on the ground of expediency; the reduction of Louisiana to a Torritory, to be governed by Casey aud such of his relatives as placos can be provided for, until the tims of tho noxt regular eloction, For all this troublo the President is respon- siblo, Ho supported Durell. He flanked tho Btate-Houso with cannon, and guarded ity doors with rittes. He gave Kellogg his *‘moral sup- port,” and promised him support of another kind in cago of naed, Ho frowned Congress into silence. Ho is the father of the Louisiana brat which he now wants Congress to take off his hands, If Congross takes it, what will become of Morton? A more disconsolate wet-nurse than the Indiana Senator without his Kellogg Government tho imsgination can soarcely con- celve, STATE CHARITIES, There i8 a bill before the Legislature to abolish the sovoral Boards of Trusteos which now hiave charge of tho several 8tate chariiies, and estab- lisks & singlo Board of three Commssioners, to be stylod the Board of State Charitios. If we understand the bill, it will placo undor the con- trol of this single Board the following inatitu- tions, for which the appropristions in 1878, to cover Lwo yeurs, wore ; Normal Schoal, Bloomingtos Normul Sohool, Bouthern, oldiura! Orplinus’ Home, . Adiitioual Lufldings for Iiye and Ear Infirmory. "Bulldings, Tusano Hosp) Tugano Hospital'and Asylum, Eigit Detlolenoy,vouveee Additions] wing, , Buildiugs for Deaf a ‘Bouthern Ineaue Asylum, , Buildiugs, State Roform Total for tW0 YOATB sverersrersiacsness 1,818,075 This doos not include among the Htate charl- tica oither the Ponitentiary or the ludustrial Univorsity, but furnishes & goodly srray of ex- peuditure which ought to be placed in the hands of rosponaible and compatent men, The man- Belool, . sgewment of theso institutions by separate Baudll is vory slipahiod, as hns boon shown in ropeated instuncos, and the soonor thoy are placed undor tho charge of o singlo responsible Board the bettor it will bo for the Hiata and for tho insti- tutions, Tho bill, however, Is radieally wrong in pro- viding that the Commissioners sliall ba elooted at tho Biato olcotion. Of whot posaible consequence i8 it whothor the Commission- ors of Oharitles shall bo Republicans or Domocrats ? Thore aro men in this Btate who have devoted thelr lves to tho practical study of the proper monagoment of such institutions; why should the Btato rojeot the sorvicea of these men for this importantand saored trust in order to denl out officos to politiciane as rowards for party sorvices? Party has solzed upon tho Railrond and Ware- house Commission, and now grain is weighod and inspooted in Ohicago according to the Philn- delphin platform; it has convertod the Poniten- tiary into a caucus for the choica of the noxt United Btates Benator; it runs the various Boards all over tho Stato, and now it is proposed to put tho custody of the deaf, dumb, and blind and foeblo-minded ohildren in ‘tho banda of the Stato Convontions of the sovoral political par- ties. Notwithstanding Gov. Baveridge has made politics & tost in all his appointments, his seloo- tions have probably been better than would have beon made by politiesl conventions, If the bill isto pass, let the appointment of tho Commis- sloners bo loft to the Govornor. *¢ PSYOHICAL TELEGRAPHY,” Tnge TRIDUNE rocontly contained tho first pub. lic announcoment of & fact which haa long beon the subject of subduod conversstion and whispored confidonces among the younger blackguarda of the Ohicago Times, but which las nover before been given in torma to tho public. Woe allude, of course, to the conversion of Mr. Btoray to the ghostly mystorios of Bpirit- usliom, Tho large spaco which has rocontly boon devoted by the Times to tho clucidation of tho'drond phenomena of tho tablo-turning and guitar-strumming brothorhood, was on Sunday reinforcod byanother oxtendod review, under thoe mysterious hoad of ** Peychical Tolegraphy." This was accompanied by soveral communi- cations from well-known medinms, who placed thoir views boforo the readors of tho Times in the same mollifluous and unconstrained languago that charactorizes their lucubrations in the special organs of their sect, They write to that paper, in fact, with all the trustfulness, froodom, and onthusiasm that mark the intorcourse of con- vert with convert and zealot with zealot all tho world over, But what is of more significant import, tho same issue which contains these outspoken communications is dishinguished by an official proclamation,—a sort of Bpiritualistic bull, as it wero,—by Mr. Storey himself, in which ho renounces the Episcopal Church forever,—an organization from which, until the present mo- mont, it is woll understood ho has dorived all his roligious consolation, His zealous cham- plonship of Bishop Whitchouse in his prosecu- tion of Mr. Choney, and his momorablo fight fortho prosorvation intact of all the High Church traditions na against the schismatic teschings of Bishop Cummins and his followors, and his per- sovering efforta to report tho sermons of tho Rov. Dr. Sullivan, are in smazing contrast with this utter repudiation of Episcopal fellowship, and his hopoless abandonment of that Church to the hated ombraco of Catholicism. The Iatter organization, ho tells us omphati- cally, will in hulf & century ombody all-existing representativo Chrietianity. Out~ sido of the Catholic Church, he concludes, ‘*there will o' no adoration of Obrist 88 God, and sofence will have completely taken tho place of revelation.” Of courso * science,” in this connection, refors solely to the mysterious pho. nomena into tho dofonse and elucidation of which Mr. Btorey has entered with such fiery zeal, and with tho profossors of which, in cut- ting loose from tho Church with which ho has so long worshiped, he has now fully cast his for- tunea. That this new and startling departure, by a man of Mr. Storey'a positive temper and wide notoriety, will creato a profound sensation among the moro prominont spiritualistic converts, there can be no doubt. More especially will this be the result should ho onter the active urena of meodiumistic demonutration now monopolized by the untitled Home, the obscure Davenports, and the other “‘vagrom" contortionists to fortuno and to fame unknown. That be will long be re- strained from occupying s fleld so thoroughly congenial to a man of his sensational turn is altogethor unlikely, It is well kmown that heis disgusted with detoctive and Police-Court jour- ualism; that anew candidate for the favor of tho elums, tho Sircet Gazelte, is proving a dangorous ocompetitor in the flold heretoforo complotely monopolized by the T'imes, and that loes of confidenco in the now City Administra- tion, rosulting from his failure to scoure the city priuting, has g0 shocked his trusting and sensitive nature as to sour him not merely on Mayor Colvin, but on every other person not an sotual occupant of the spirit-world. Of courso, what would be lost to senaational journalism by this extraordinary lapse would Do gained to seneational rope-munipulation by his entranes into that excitivg fiold ; and such worldly diapatchos as ho could not sscuro in tho old way would bo compensated for by the more accoptable spiritualistio revelations whioh would como to him alone over tho myatio and invisible wires of tho new and weird system so fully aluci- dated In the articlos hoaded ‘Psychical Tole- graphy,” which are at prescut monopolizing the columns of the now and enthusisstio orgau of the tablo-tippiog faith, tho Chicago Times. AN INTEMPERATE WHISKY-RAID, Somo woeks age wo commented upon the sotlon of tho Amazons of Washington, Ohio, in organizing a raid againgy the whisky-shops. At that time it sppeared as if the womon had got the upper hand of tho whisky, Tho saloons were closed up or metamorphosed into prayer- meotings, The druggists signed the plodge, and agreod to keep mno more suspicious sirups in black bottles undor their soda-fountains, Old fonsilizod waloon-keepers wera reprosonted sy mounting whisky-barrels and making tomper- anoo epoockics, and a goneral reign of cold water, coffec, nnd ton had commenced. ‘This was good news, if true, but wo fear that at that time we had only heard one side of the quostion, A roaction seems to lave taken place. ‘Tho fomale vigilants atilt keep up thoir organization und hold possession of tho town, but, notwithstanding their watohfulness, whisky gots into the town,” and some of the old soakors succoed in getting drunk, Worus than this, the wamen are creating a projudice agninst thomselvos by tho manuer of thoir attacks upon those of their own sex who will not don the bloomer sostume and furn out into the strests. | Tho worst foature of all {a that, whilo tho womon are besloging the saloons, tho mon go oft to tho noxt town and como home drunk, #o that intomporanco s on tho increano, althongh tho saloona aro closd. ‘Phis result ought to havo beon foressen by the woman in quostion, or at loast by thoir mas- culine advisors, It is of littlo uso touny to a drunlard * doo't drinl,” and of still loss use to suy to him “you shall not drink.,” The oc- oupation of timo and the uso of money are the twomain factors which onter into thisquestion of tomporance or intomperanco, and mo long as thero {n no other provision made for the ocou- pation of his timo, and thore is no othor oqually poworful and attractive competition for tho use of i monoy, the drinker will continue to drink, The whisky-shopsis the ouly practieal bidder for timo aund money, nnd workingmon who drink will go fo it bocouso it is tho only place which offors thom choap rocrea- tion, Vory fow poopla go to o saloon with the dofinito purpose of gotting drunk. They go thoro ‘to employ tholr timo, to got recroation, and to spend thoir money. It is usoloss to may they will not do othorwiss, for the oxperiment has not boon tried. Itis cortainly worth trying, ospooiolly aa it hns boon shown that not moral sunsion, nor compulsory logislation, nor Bunday 1aws, nor Amazonian raids aro able to provent or abate intomperance. — Thera aro threo politico-social sociotios among Now York workingmon,—ihe Intornational, tho United Party, and the Communo. Tho Intorna~ tiounl is moribund. It throve apaco after ita in- troduction in 1808-9, but intorusl dissensions ruined it. A quarrel botween two New York soc- tions led to tho schism in tho Congross of The Hague, Soptombor, 1872, As the rosult of that schism, the party hoaded by Korl Marx trans- forred the Gonoral Council of the Bocioty to New York. This Council hag, however, held no mootings. Fragmonts of tho Intornational joined with various mutual-bonefit clubs, eto., to form the United Party, which hss been the ruling spirit m tho lato riots and meotings, This is an organization with a Central Counocil at New York, and branches throughout tho North, which proposes to effect a * systomatio roconstruction of sacloly and political gov- ernmont,” It has uot quito decided how to do this, but its loaders scom to have o dovout faith In tho efilcacy of red rags and “Blood or Brond” haraogues. The Commune proper numbors only some 230 members, o ma- Jority of whom are refugees from Paris. Tho Commune has taken no part in the recont dia- turbances. Its mootings have a peculinr feature. Thoro is mo presiding oficer. Tho theory is that the mombors are cqual and do not noed di- rection, einco thoir sggrogate sction must bo wisdom, A temporary Chairman ia chosen from time to time to puta quostion to tho vote, but that is all, Tho Bocloty, at present, is nothing moro than o mutual-benefit club, however skilled some of its mombers may be in throwing potro- leum. e A mining onginger of Salt Lake City has writton a lottor to show that the mine 1n which Capt, E. B, Waxd, of Detroit, invested so largely, was not “ealted.” Ho saya that * salting,” if wall onough done to escapo instant dotection, would require tho labor of 100 skilled men for two years aud an expenditure of 3,000,000, Incidentally, ho nttacks the pamphlot rocently isaued in London by one of the dupes of Ainis- tor Schoncl's connection with tho Emma Mine, His praiscs of that moelancholy cavern had bost be takon with & grain of salt. Disracli is to be pitied. Somobody keeps say- ing his bright specches bofore he doos. The Athencewm has just discovered that John Wilkes, by calling himselt *an extinguished volcano,” put Mr, Disrooli under the painful necessity of plagiarizing tho famous epigram of his Manches- ter addross, in which ho compared the occupants of the ‘lreasury bench to a row of extinct vol- canoes. e o — There is & difforence botween the Xllinois and Massachusctts Penitontiaries. In the tailors’ room of the Mausachusotts prison two convicts fought & duel with shears, Their follows and tha officor in chargo formod a ring around thom. ‘Whon ono had cut the othor into several longi- tudinal strips, the officer trotted off for a sur. geon. ————— Minnesota railronds have been given 18,209,~ 000 acres of land, This is more than oue-quar- tor of tho State, Thoe bost way for the compa- nies to silence all complaints about their charges would bo to get & grant of part of the rest, buy up the remainder, and then dictate their own terma. —_— The Englisk Goverument is a discerning patron of literature, It ostracized Thackeray, a8 far ag it could, becanso he satirized Princo Al- bert in tho *Book of Bnobs,” but it has just given Martin F. Tupper a pension of $700, —— Tho Nation spoke, some timo since, of the “ brutish ignorance” of Congress on tho subject of flusuce. The avorage Congressman has ap- parently beon making great efforts since to de- gervo the opithot. e OBITUARY. DR, DAVID LIVINGSTONE, David Liviogstone, whoae death last June is announced this morning, was born at Blantyro Works, near Glasgow, in 1817. Be came of tho genuine Puritan Beotch atock, a8 ho states in bis autobiograpby. Hil great-grandfather fell at the battle of Culloden, tighting for the inde- peudenco of Scotland. His grandfather was o landlord on ** Alva's Iule,” one of the Hebrides. The family wero poor, but honest. One of their ancestors called his children around him on his doath-bed, aund, saylog that ho had never, in the most careful search through tho traditions of the fomily, been ablo to find & dishonest man smong their fore- fathers, Qied Witk Lhis procopt on his lips, ** Bo honest.” The Livingstones were huugry for knowledge, aud mado such good use of the seanty oducational sdvantages of the Hobrides that, when David's grandfuther wns compelled by the wants of Lis family to move to Glasgow to find employment for his children, his sons ware ablo to command situations as clerks, Dr, Livingstone's fathor was & tea merchant, but, his son suys, was too conscientious evor to bocome rich. David was put to work in the factory as & ‘‘piecor” when 10 yoars of ago, How individual his eharactor wag at that enrly uge is shown by tho fact that hie devoted apart of his first weok's wagos to buying Ruddiman's “Rudimouts of Latin” For many years ho spent the ovenings which followed his day's work at ovening school. Al- though he had to be at the factory by 6 o'clock in tho morning, e would frequently study after midnight, till his mother jumped from her bod and snatched tha book from bis hands. He read eovorything but novels, and his bent of mind was shown by tho espocial delight he took in sclentific worke and books of travel. This, with a voligious chango which came over his feolings at 10, do- tormined his future career, His ohildhood gavo little promiuo of his lator dovotion to Ohristiane ity. His fathor froquently chastised him for his dielflo to roligions reading of every sort, and hislast application of tho rod was for Duvid's rofueal to poruse Wilberforce's * Praotical Ohrintianity,” In tho flowo? his now enthusi- gsm young Livingstono resolved to devoto bis life to tho alloviation of human misory, He first intended to bo & plo- neor of Ohristismty in Chins, To fit bimsolt for this labor he studied modicine, botany, and saved enough from his wages to be able to attond Grook and Divinity locturea in Glangow. Ifo was aftorwards acoopted Ly the Londun Misslonwry Socloty as one of thelr worke ora, and wae put jnto tho training-school for missionary candidatos at Ohipping Ongar, whoro ho spont two yoars, Whon ho was at longth ordained, the opium war thad broken out in China, and ho wns thore- foro uont to Africa,—n change of fleld which ho never had roason to rogret, o wont to Cape ‘Lown in 1840, Tho noxt fow yoars woro spont in tho intorior at Xuruman, where Lo pursucd tho study of tho native languages and ous- toms in tho famlily of Dr. Moftat, o mission- ary who bnd preceded him. Ho found oppor- tunity in this delightful family for studies of differont charactor, which rosulted, four yoars afiorwards, Jn his morrying the daughtor of his host. In 1843 ho founded a misgionary station at Mabotss, and Bpent Bix yoars among tho nativos in tho vicinity, Ilis firat oxploring oxpodition took placo in 1849, when In company with two Engilsh gentlemon ho crossed tho heretoforo impassable Bakali- harl desort, and reached Lako Ngamf, which no Europenn had over scon bofore, Tho party re- turned to Kolobong, and in 1851 Livingstono mado his journoy to tho Zambosi. By this time his love of adventure aud oxploration was thoroughly roused, snd he determined to gond his family back to England and romain alono iu this unhealthy country to search for n salubrious district that might prove the contrs of civillzation, nnd opon up tho interior by a path cithor to the East or to the Weat, Ho raturned to Kuruman nfter tho doparture of hin family, and at that placo recolved tho nows of s cruel attack by a party of Boers upon Kolobeng, resulting in the slaughtor of sixty natives, tho seizuro of soveral huundred women and childron as slaves, sud the plunder of his own houso and many othiers. Duiing tho following four years ho traveled 0,000 milea, and traversod & portion of the continent never beforg visited by Europosns. During this time he visited Linyanti, the principal town of the Makololo tribe, explored tho Lecambye River, and the Leba and Lake Dilolo, traversed the Province of Angola, and complotod the entirs Jjourney across Southern Africa. Tu May, 1856, tho Victoria or Patron's gold modal was bostowod on him by the Royal Geo- graphical Socioty for having “traversed South Africa from the Cape of Good Hope by Lako Ngami to Linyanti, and thenco to tho Wostorn Const in 10 dogrees south latitude., In 1856 ho roturned to England, after sixtoon yesrs'ab- gonce, having in that time labored 1ncessantly as onoof tho ngonts of tho London Misslonary Bocloty, bocome acquainted with the language, liabits, and religions notions of a number of savago tribos, and twice crossed the entire conti- nont, As Sir R. Murchison reminded the Royal Goographical Bocioty when that body welcomed him homo Do, 15, 1856, **Io Liad traveled over no fowor than 11,000 miles of African territory, and ho had como back to England as the pioncer of sound and usoful knowledge, for by his astro- nimical obsorvations ho had dotermined thesites of numerous places, hills, rivors, lakos, neerly all of which had been bitherto uvknown, whilo ho had soized upon overy opportunity of describing the physical features, climatology, and geologi- cal structure of tho countries which he had explored, and had peinted out many now sources of commerco as yot unkamown to tho scopo and enterprigo of the British morchant, “In the public meotings which ho attonded st this timo he found him- wolf, owing to bis long absonce from England and his constunt use of African tongues, unable to oxpress himsol? in his mothor tongue with luency. While in England, Lo saw his first work, °f Missionary Travels and Re- sonrches in South Africs,” through tho press. Ho then departod on a second expedition to tho Zambesi under tho auspices of the British Government and the Royal Geographical Bocioty, to mnke a thorough exploration of that river. His wholo character, and the broad viows with which he went into his work, nro well known in his own statements of the objects ho proposed to lumselt in the Zambesi Expe- dition : ‘*Iliave & two-fold object in view, and bo- liove that, by guiding our missionary labors so ag to benefit our owu country, wa shall thereby more offectuslly and pormancutly benofly the licathon, Soven years were spent at Kolobong in instructing my friends there, but the country being incapablo of ralsing materials for exporta- tion, when the DBoers mado their mur- dorous attack nnd scattered the {ribo for & Bongon, none sympathized except a fow Christian frionds, Had the people of Kolo- beng been in the habit of raising the raw mate- rials of English commoerce, the outrage would have been folv in Englaud, or, what is more likely to have beon the case, the people would liavo raised thomselves fu tho scale by barter, and havo become like the Buzutos of Meshesh and people of Kuruman, posscssed of firc-arms, and the Boors would nover have made the attack at all. Wo ought to encourage the Africans to cul- tivate for our markets, 08 the most offectual meang, noxt to tho Gospel, of tneir elovation.” Throughout his carcer, Dr. Livingatone recog- nized this groat truth of tho value of trade to civilizo and Christianizo, Ho recommended the growth of cotton upon on extensivo gcale in tho intorior na one of the most potent means for African efvilization, and proposed the oponing up of commercial rolations botweon the civilized world and the South African tribos, as a measure likely to contribute to the abolition of tho slave- trade. On this second expedition to the Zambesi, his wifo, who had accompanied him in many of his most perilous journcys, died of fever at Bhupanga, April 27, 1862, During this journey Lake Nyassa was enteroad, Tho expedition was recalled in 1863, Dr. Liv- ingstone ronched London July 20, 1864, and quitted England again for other explorations in April, 1865, Enrly in March, 1867, a roport reachod England that Dr. Livingstone had fullon in & skirmish with natives nenr Lake Nyasss. An expedition to the in- torior of Africa in sonrch of lum left England, June 9, 1867, under the command of Mr. E, D. Young. The mombars of the expe- dition sont back word in Janusry, 1808, that they wore satisflod Dr. Livingstone was still alive, and on the 8th of April lottors were received from the grout traveler himaclf, dated at o place far beyond tho district where ho was said to hove boen murdered, sud announcing that hewas in good health, e wroto again in July, 1808, to eay that he had reached Lako Bangweo- 1o, whonca he snid he belioved the chiof sources of the Nilo aroso, nearly in tho position given them by Ptolomy, whoso River Rhapha is prob- ably the Rovuma, On May 18, 1869, another lettor was recoived dated Ujiji, snd on Jan. 24, 1871, it was aacortuined that ho had made an ox- touslve journoy to the west of Lako Zauganyika, His works in which tho story of his lifo sud explorations are fully and graphically told are the “Travels and Roscarchos,” mentionod sbove, and tho “Expedition to tho Zambos!, and Its 'Lributarios,” publishod {n 1805, Mr, Honry M.

His account of his mooting Dr, Livingstone and his desoription of Lis porsonal appoarance at that time, Nov. 3, 1871, will bo of great in- toroat now, Thomooting took placo at Ujiji : By this timo tho Arabs are fully alarmed ; the nativos of Ujijl, Wagulba, Warnndi, ‘Wauguana, and I know not whom, hurryup by the hundreds to ask what it all means—this fusillading, shouting, and blowing of horus, and flag-tlying, Thore aro * Yambos" shouted out to me by the dozen, and dolightod Arabs have run up breath- lussly to shake my hands and ask anxiously whore I came from.

Ilis form is stoutish, & little over tho ordinary helght, with slightly bowod shoulders. When walking, ho hns tho heavy stop of an overworked and fatigued man. On his head ho wears tho naval cap, with o round vizor, with which ho has boon identified throughout Africa. His drosa shows that at times ho has had to resort to tho neo- dlo to ropair and roplace what travel has worn, Such is Lavingstono oxtornally, One thing which specially attractod my attention was his wondorful retontive momory. When we remomber tho thirty years and more ho has spont in Atrica, doprived of books, we may woll tlunk it an uncommon momory that can racite wholo pooms of Burns, Byron, Tonnyson, nnd Longfellow.

Ono roason, perbaps, for the fact, may bo that tho Doctor never smokos, so that his brainis never bofogged, even tomporarily, by the fumes of tho insidious weod. Beatdos, hohas lived oll his lito almost, wo may HRY, within himsolf—in & world of thought which ro- solved inwardly, seldom awaking out of it, ox- copt to nitond to the immediato practical nocos- sities of himself and his oxpedition, AMUSEMENTS; ' OLARA MORMIB, Thers ia & natural inclination upon the part of the peoplo of ono city to examine with a minimum of good-nature any work of art which hns boexn praisod almost unanimously by others, The solf-gratulation ot finding & flaw which has escaped tho soarch of othiers is a strong instinot, and, being an inatinet, I8 at once natural and useful, Miss Morris, in ber various rolos, prosents to tho Chicago public such a work of art, and tho Chicago public becomes & jury of severe and morciless oritics, Dent upon finding flawa in Miss Morris, they can succeed, but strango as it may socm, those vory poiuts which in_thomsolvos are crudities aid in the ef- fect produced by much that can be applaudod as graceful and the work of truo art. Tho part of Cora, in Bolol’s drama, * Article 47,” is not ox- actly one in which the full extont of Miss Mor- ris' powors as an actress can bo gauged. In- deed, it isono which gives her comparatively small opportumty to dieglny hor atrongth. But thero is onough in hor playing of it to give the publio fall nssuranco that ono day Miss Morris will bo & great actress—that sho is on tho bigh road to roal famo, Sheis, in the rolo of Cora, at any rate, eminently realiatic. She bas caughit tho spirit of the age, aud, in hor realism, the public iuds just what {t wants, She pos- sosod & strong magaotic forco, too, over an au- dience, & powerful personal mesmoric hold upon thom, and keeps it throughout, go that when tho ourtain shuts out the view, the au- dienco roalizos that it Las lost momo- thing, and tho immodiate rovulsion of fael~ ing takes form in vigorous and hearty applauso, Realism, as we have boforo wug- gosted, is very penluufl ground to stand upon when intonsity of feoling is to bo portrayed, It isnot to bo triflod with, Aladness, to ba ef- fectively played, must bo reslistio; all the of- fect of it must bo given; madness, therotore, is a very difficult Elmeu of intonse emotion to re- rodiico upon the stage. Miss Morris last even- ing stood tho test, and tho result was such a clamor for hor appearance boefore the curtain as wolcomod Balvini’s Othello. Her mad scono, it must bo understood, is not a perfoct work oven of roalistic acting. There aro minutim negloctod which could bo turnod to advantago ; but thero is only ono conclusion to bo reachod, ond that is that Migs Morria has studied iutont~ ly, and thot sho has done so from bature. Those who sre at all familinr with some phases of that most distressing of human malndics, insanity, will recognizo this readi- ly. As & consoquenco of hor strong mag- netio power, the audienco is carried by tho impetus of her forvor, hor rapid action, aud hor uttor doflance of tradition, over the oc- casional ovidouces of crudity, and porhaps allows many of them to escapo its notico nlto- goter. ‘“Article 47" is s}mknu of a3 an * omotional drama,"” from which wo are to infor that Cora's maduess is s form of *emotionat insanity.” It diffors 8o vastly from such cases of that new and almost epidemio disonse, that wo venture o protcst sgmnst calling Ar- ticlo 47" anything ~ of the ~ kind. ‘There is Acarcely one scene in the whols drame which can be called * pathetic,” and that, we supposo, 18 what * emotional” is intonded to signify. DBut from Mies Morcis' scting in tho quioter scones, there can be littlo doubt” that in truly pathettc parts she has no rival upon tho Amorican stage. We allude especially to tho third act of ** Article 47" in the intorviow bee tween Cora and Duhamel, whore, for an instant, tho ecraving for rovenge gives way to her doclaration of lher suffering. It may mnot ~ be movelty, but in the intorests of nrt wo fool impolled to protest against tho exponditure of so much power in dramns of the ** Articlo 47" school. But, aftor all, it is bettor to have a mediocro play well ron- dored than a gem of dramatic literature ruth- lossly chokod. Miss Morris is well supportod in the placo, which Las evidently boen rohoarsed with great care. Thore-is nothing partioularly noticoablo about it excopt tho unfortunato Ffluuplng of Mr. O'Neil, whose ocarclossness blossoming into a orop of mannerisms which will bo a8 diflicult to kill as Cannda thistles, It is too bad to allow 8o promising an actor to be ruined by such faults as these, ‘Tho mounting of tho picce s rich and tastoful, and thore is no doubt thiat tho excitement of thoaudience which colled Miss Dorris out before t he curtain fiva times, and took form in vocal as well a8 manual applause, will infect the whole theatre-going public in & very short time, AGADENY OF MUSIO, The second weok of Mr. Owena' engagoment was bogun last night with the production of a “go-calied comody of contomporaneous socloty,” entitled ** Self.” Tho mauagoment cxuum{fid mtoh caro in its presoutation, and tho succoss of tho porformance was such na to warrant the pro- dlction of an overcrowded suditortum to-night.
