Addresses of Dr. Hayes, Bev. Dr. Adams, Major Dane and Dr. Schenck. ‘Within comparatively @ ehort space of times ence as unprecedented as it is brilliant and \deserved has been given to the great African ex- miorer, Dr. David Livingtone, But a few days Duried in Westminater Abbey, reserved only to Rhe laurelied rank’ of those nobly conspicuous in ‘tbe domatn of science, art or letters, his name and fis fame will endure as imperishable as the marble ‘mausoleums marking this last resting place of the ‘world’s most honored dead.

His life is a grand epic poem, and in an in- ‘troduction to the splendid tribute to his revered ‘memory, snown in the great gathering last even- ‘ing at the Academy of Music, the story roquires mot to be toid. The cloud of doubt environing his existence, after the long lapse of time intervening since any intelligence had been received regard- ‘ing him, having been dispelled through tils dis- covery at Ujijion the 12th o1 November, 16T1, by the New York HeRaup Exploration Expedition, }@ mew interest at once centred in /nim. The despatch announcing that | Dr. Livingstone was stilt alive sent a thrill of de- Ught through the vast pulse of the whole civilized |world. The HERALD explorer left him still intent hin carrying to successful completion the grandly jdominant idea of his life. A fascination @¢ once ‘wonderiul and unexampled bas attached to the wman ever since. Scientists the world over, but ‘ticularly those specially interested tn the en- | Kecgechns of geographical science, were greatly | terested im him. Here all felt was to be achieved the crowning splendor of his noble itfe. Great shopes centred in him, and bad he lived to re- ‘turn to his home and the realms of ctvilization would have becm the subject of ovatory surpassing the homage given to the earth’s oudest monarchs or its greatest military heroes, 1¢ was not to be. claimed him as its own. He diea in the |feld of his chosen labors. He is to-day the world’s Is it a wonder, then, that, as stated above, at the \meeting last evening, commemorative of the character of the jate Dr. Livingstone, at the Academy of Music, the vast building was filled with an assemblage which for intellectual wortn and high intclliigence has never been surpassed in this city? In place of the mammoth drop scene )Shat generally meets the gaze of the audience was | @ large map of Africa, with tracery of the routes of exploration taken by the great traveller and its network of rivers and lakes ‘which he so long sought to unravel, and unravelling }to lay bare the mystery enshrouding the source of fthe Nile. On the map was a portrait of the hero jor those far away wanderings. It was a fine, noble, }fresh, manly face. But it hung environed with the wad emblems of mourning and a wreath of ‘tm- jmortelles crowning its summit. The background ‘as the American flag, festooned in mourning. Over the proscenium boxes were also our national jensigns, alike habited with mourning insignia. ‘This comprised the extent of the deco- Wations. This was as it should be, simple, @erene and sorrowiul, Before entering on ‘the prescribed evening programme a band played selections of music, bat mainly of @ sadly subdued character, the solemn occasion which had drawn to- gether this assemblage. At a few minutes past eight o’clock Chief Justice Daly came upon the | Platform, followed by the leading members of the | New York Geographical Society, of which he is the honored President. Among those seated on ‘the piatiorm were the following gentlemen :—Wil- liam H. Webb, Henry Grinnell, Peter Cooper, W. B. H. Moore, George Cabot Ward, F. A. Scout, F. 4A. Conkling, Cyrus W. Field, General Callum, General James Grant Wilson, George Opdyke, 0. H. Coster, William Bradford, Wiliam Remsen, B. F. Beinhart, Menzo Diefendorf, T. Bailey Myers, A. K. Gardner and Frank Leslie. | Itis unnecessary to foliow the various speakers of ‘the evening. Altogether it was a rare intellectual ‘treat, irom the opening tribute of President Daly to the closing words of panegyric pronounced by the last speaker. It was @ good idea. the preliminary explanation by Major Dane on the map of Dr, Liv- ‘Angstone’s travela, The speakers who followed, though discoursing of the same theme—the life and services of Dr. Livingstone—dia not repeat one anotier, but cach im tum added to the all-absorbing interest felt in the career of this | most wonderiul man. Numerous as the speeches Were, and lengthy as were some of the addresses, ‘the large audience remained till the close. It will be au occasion that those present will long re- member with mingled pleasure and pain—pieasure to know that such a genuine type of manhood lived, pain to know that be bas passed away with- out the great dream of nis life being rulfilied. SPEECH OF CHIEF JUSTICE DALY, Chief Justice DaLy said :— LADI£S AND GESTLEMEN—The connection of Dr. Livingstone with the society extends almost to the period when he commenced his career as an explorer. His name has been the longest upon ur list of noporary members. Many years ago ‘we honored ourselves by placing bis name on that | limited list, and he expressed himseif honored that ‘we had done se. We nad hoped that when the work to which he had devoted so many years of his fife had been accomplished, the tracing out of the P ryt he evens and lakes which consti- le Watersheds of South and Central Airica, ‘that he would have visited this country, and that swe would have the opportunity 4 jeome public occasion of expressing to Our appreciation and that of the American what he had done in extending boundaries of human knowledge and in the at my of humanity. It was destined it 2 be otherwise. He is now in nis grave, en- with the illustrious dead of Engiand, to 01 , and that 1s left us is to unite in the public tribute of his memory.

(Applause.) Dr. Livingstone worked at his plan, not with spasmodic edort, uptring, unremitting toil, severing himself from his family an from the civilized world. He | plunged into pestiferous jangles, waded through | swamps, Gimbed over mountains, passed through regions fifled with malaria, and explored districts | where he suffered irom tropical heat.

When Ethiopie shall stretch out her hands—when she shall be redressed of the wrongs that prevail in her Tonic Tegions—the name of Dr. Livingstone will shine as bright as the stars in the firmament, for ever and ever. (Cheers.) | HENRY WARD BEBCHER’S SPRBCH. LADIES aND GENTLEMEN—It is @ good sign of the progress of civilization—not in extent, but in | Quaiity—tnat communities are learning graticude: | and they are not learning with the men that are dead alone, but are taking living men and giving to them the joys of appreciation. For, one of the signs of superior nature is | ae to i) rendered. [tis good thing for a community to call up allits humblest servants and those who serve it physically; those who by Invention abbre- | Viate the purposes of industry, making the con- | dition of the great common péopie easier, and who, | | by condensing labor and cneapening it, give time to men for something other than pnysi- | Cal dradgery. We would not stint the praise | that goes io them that make lite softer, and that in the midst of society, increase the comiort of the non-verotc muitirude. But there are those who ve no immediate return whose itves are iruitfal. ach are eminently explorers and discoverers. I | @m met, when { speak of those wno bave so ceaselessly pbesiexed and yet never taken, the fortress of the Northern Pole, with the question, ‘What use is it? Bu) ose that the Polar regions were ransacked hat men should shoot to and fro over the imaginary Pole, what then?’ What then! Nothing, if all mews thougnt of value 18 something to buy or sell. Nothing, if yon must have a physical equivaient and something tangible | and visible, Much, if it ve @ valge to ada Manhood to other manhoods; for he who takes his life in hts band and fights against nature, ting skill against iorce and the irresistible human will against the irresistibleness of nature | in her frigid zone, adds little to territory but much | to manhood, and raises the whole thought which we entertain of heroism, and by forti- tude, by pationce, by endurance, by sturdy | } courage and by at least a few discoveries, briugs back to us @ treasure which makes :he whole gen- | eration richer. For that which juts tae thought of | | man as with the power divine, that which en- | larges the sense of being, is itself a | compared ith which sliver and gold ere | rose. en men, therefore, have perilled their lives and laid them down in the service of science, they may not have added many facts, they not have discovered and added many truths; but they have jeft a record which ‘will make society 60 much richer that it 1s worth all that they have suffered. And no men are doing more ior us than those men who, in the study or im the observatory or in remote parts of the earth, are bringing general knowledge to | the service of mankind by ways which make man- | Kind richer—by the exaniples and the suffering and | the heroism oi those that achieve these things. | We come to-might, fellow citizens, to pay our re- | t—n0, to lay the offering of our thanks before the name of one simple as a child and great as time has been—Davia Liv- member, I believe, | Society of New York, to which society, if not the very first, at least, per- haps the second, communication of bis mis Slonary explorations was made—one which, to the very, last, we had occasion to re- member with gratitude and with honor.

It is | spirit of discovery which guided his whole | life, 1 have oiten asked myself, “Why is it tbat Dr. Livingstone appeala so | Strongly to our sympathies?’ Why is it that to- | day the thoughis of the world centre about the name of that great man? Why is it thatthe Royal Geographical Society of London and the American Geographical Society of New York should vie with each other in paying homage to his memory? Why | 1s it that the great throbbing heart of the whole World has 80 promptiy and 80 e; ti to the energetic eforts atesteee journanat oi the greatest journal of | our time to reclaim the lost wanderer and bring. | him back again to civilization? Amd the answer | comes, It is because We find in him strongly ex- pressed a law of our being which, more or less, governs us all; it is, that we all seek after hidden things in nature—seek to discover something that is new, to experience a new emotion in a mew tri- umpb, to do something that may euiarge our men- tal and material vision. One travels to gratily roving curiosity and satisfy wondertul tan- cles; one desires to wander by the sea gnd itsten to what the wild waves are wala nolan o] ‘another to climb some dangerous mountain hel ne; | g @nother to rambie through the great cities of & foreiga land; another to roam pee the ruins — of the past But Livingstone’s was @ higher, @ | nobler ambition than any of these; for his am- | | bition was to tread the wilds of unknown lands and bring to light that waich had veen 0 hidden from all the world. While we Teadlly aie | cover in the ordinary traveller a vein of selfish | gratification, a desire simply to please him or her- | sell, we discover in the traveller Livingstone that which arouses our highest admiration, the noblest | Spirit that ever aniinated man, tie spirit of self- Sacrifice for the benefit of iis fellows. That there was a degree of pride in all he at- tempted to do we must admit, but it. was ® pride that claims our sympathy and re- | Frit lt was the same pride which caused | jumbus to face the dangers of the great | unknown sea; it was the same pride that | thrilled Magellan when, in the midst of mutiny, as he emerged from the straits which bear his Ulnstrious name into the broad sweeping waters of the Pacific, he answered the demand to torn back, in dread of prospective starvation, from our yards, but we will not turn back ;") | the same pride that led the immortal Prbantin crowd his way among the crusiing icebergs of the north, to find the pathway to the Pole. David Livingstone was a great traveller; and, my friends, that means much. When St. Paul’ pear | the close of his unequalied carcer, after having addressed himself to vast throngs of almostevery | people of his time, uttered these words, i | made all things unto all meu,” he defined traly the character of the great traveller. ihe greet traveller is one who leaves no enemies in Path, for he assimilates himself to the people about him. Snch @ man was Marco Polo and sucn @ man was David Livingstone. For the space of a | Generation Marco Polo traversed the nitherto un- Known regions of Central Asia, passing Without fear among the Tartar tribes, wherever he went making friends, and finding every- where unknown tribes eagerly awaiting his | approach, until at length ie reached the | gig, monarch of the ae Khan, who, whiie ne of peopie, made the travelier his ti counsellor, And now in later times we find’ poe | Other such traveller for the space of a generation Wandering through Central Atrica, It is David | Livingstone.

It was an apt illustration, that scene, of the best development of manhood. vid Livingstone was born on the banks of the Clyde, in Scotland, in the shadow of Ben Lomond end in the vicinfty pf the castellated crag of Dumbarton, some sixty years ago, and his father was a shop- man, of whom it was said that he was too hon- est to get rick.

The consistent sentiment of David Livingstone’s life was to do the largest amount. of in his day for the human race. The reverend gentieman then reviewed at some Jeugth the neroiam und toil of Livingstone in the recesses of Airica, and stated that it was 8 mis- take made by superficialista to assert that Living- stone had erred 1u leaving his ministerial labors to assume the mantie 0! the traveller. But Living- tone had reuily, by his explorations and discov- CS, opened mew flelds ior the Lord's work. In explorations he had travelled 11,000 miles alt er, and his travels and self-sacrifice, with his sufferings and glorious end, are the beat s®rmons that could be preached ior Curistianity. He had notning to assist him in carrying out the bold object of his life, but his great force of character and leness Of purpose. When the ortuguese navigators in search of Prester John and his fabled dominion landed on the Airican coast at the same spot (here Major Dane pointed with nis wand to Zanzibar on the map) where 400 years alterward the Chief of the New York HeRaLD ex- dition began his wondrous march, he pene- rated the country and made calculations in geog- Faphy which were received up to a late day as the correct geographical limits, and which were really 80 enormous thatit sook Dr. Livingstone twenty-two months to make the true limits known.

At that witching hour of the morning when the fashionable world half opens tts eyes, yawns, turns itself upon its downy pillow and wons the soft influence of sleep to soothe the pleasure-weariea \ eyelids to fresh repose, the devout nuns have fin- ished their orisons and turned from theit simple morning meal to the duties of the day. Yesterday the monotony of the conventual life was again broken by one of those imposing scenes that at each repetition fills the religious son! with re- newed ardor and increases the community of soul- saving laborers in the vineyard o1 the Lord. As the Superiors of the different houses of the Good Shepherd in the United States ana Montreal are about to embark for a short sojourn in France, they most appropriately selected this as the most fitting time in which to bestow the veil of the oviate upon those postulants who had passed a satisiactory postulate in the convents attached to The altars having been decorated with a lovely array of both natural and artificial flowers, with numerous tapers gleaming amid the floral gems like tiny stars, the religious all clothed in their White manties and bearing lighted candles, en- tered the chapel and took their places in their Stalls, The Lady Prioress and her assistant con- ducted the five postulants to the open grating before the altar where they knelt upon a carpet. Spread there only for such an occasion. The choir then sang the ‘Ave Maris Stella,” and at its con- clusion the celebrant gave each of the postulants & lighted caudie, telling her to receive it asa ymbol of the celestial light” to which Jesus Christ calls those whom He withdraws from the world of darkness. The Ofiiciant then intoned the “Veni Creator Spiritus," which the choir took up and sung to its close. The officiant continued the ceremony by asking of each postulant “My daugh- ter, what do you ask?” and each one repiled that she solicited the “habit of this holy house,” and the favor to be tried in the practice of all Christian virtues and in the observances of the rules aud constitution, After er, in which he thanked God for thus inspiring them in their happy chotce, the oMctant asked tf they per- severed 4n this demand, and, being answered that alee ore it and hopea for grace to persevere in their selection of this state of life, they retired from the chapel to lay aside the white dresses and the flowing, gauzy veils of thi rid, and to take in thelr stead the white serge habit and white | linen vetl of the Daughters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd, Alter he podtulamts bad | qithdrawn trom the chapel the ¢ hawit, belt, scapular, rosary, veil mantle, The habits were imme: carried to the posta- a: clothed them wale thay were being in r. we tones, the tit lovely fey tabetaneen 9 ard ot Hout = tainteth for the courts of the lon conclusion of guia gry the postu- He - aren ed over bh.

The trial of Boss Stainsley, four other city officiais and three contractors, for alleged conspiracy to defraud the city of Newark by getting paid first class prices for worst class work in the matter of the Springfield avenue pavement, was resumed yester- day in the Essex county Vourt of Oyer and Terminer. The court was crowded still more densely than on the first and second days of the trial, the audience being largely composed of solid property owners, and, a8 on Wednesday, almost the entire city gov- ment was present, The first witness called was Paul Buchanan, whose examination was com- menced, but not completed, on Wednesday. Mr. Buchanan is President of the Springfieid Avenue Horse Car Company. He has long been in the contracting business and 1s a large property owner along the line of the avenue. He was one of a committee appointed by the property owners to investigate the alleged pavement frauds, He is & tall, gaunt, open-faced Canadian-Scotch- American, who has a habit of striking right out from the shoulder and never mincing words with friend or foe, Atten s were made repeatedly by the defence to break the force of his disclosures by insinuating that he, as @ contractor and prop- erty owner, was a deeply interestea party; bat the learned Parker and the incisive Guild found that it was not very progtavie work. ‘The witness he'd his own -fully through @ iong cross-examina- Vion fire, ‘TR PITH OF PAUL'S EVIDENCE.

Continuation of the Proceedings of the Trial at Flemington—Contradictory Testimony—Another Insoluble Mystery. The Hunterdon county (New Jersey) negro homt- | cide case was continued yesterday at Flemington | fn the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The prisoners looked contident, and by their de- portment gave indications of remarkable com- ark, 262; steam pipes, 6: | posure aud complacency. The first witness called by the defence was Abram Taylor, a middle-aged darkey and the most civilized of that class examined. He testified that he was present at the affray; deceased and a man named Ferguson had a scuffle on the previous Satur- day, and Morocco parted them ; the party at Cruise’s house was supplied with three pints of apple whiskey; in the evening the deceased came m drunk and was put to bed; when he got ap he had @ quarrel with Amos Congo, who knocked him | down andstamped on him; the deceased halloed out to Congo that he was Kicking mim with his (deceased’s} Own shoes; Morocco parted them; old man Crutse ordered Dory ontstde and toox up au axe and said if he would not go out he woula make him; Morocco took the axe irom the old mau; Johu Phillips drew his knife, and when Mo- rocco saw him doit he picked up @ razor knife and said if any one drew @ knile on him he would defend himself; wheo deceased got out side he seized @ club and threatenel to knock down the first person that wonld come out;he knocked his mother down shortly afterward; then Morocco attacked deceased by throwing the stove lds at him; deceased ran off and ina short time afterward he was found with his thruav sats Morocco then went ior the doctor; never kuew Morocco to carry a knile. Jane, wife of the prisoner, Israel Morocco, was next called, The Court here stated to the jury that the law did not permit the wile of a prisoner in criminal cases to testify either tor or against him, consequently the testimony of the present witness should only apply to the prisoner Thomp- son. She merely corroborated a portion of the evidence adduced by previous witnesses, George Thompson, one of the prisoners, was theu examined. He gave his testimony io a clear, distinct, cool manner, and did not betray the least | emotion. He said:—“l was bornin came from there in 1865 with Andrew Beard’s sol who had been in the army; became acquaint | with Morocco about three years ago; he and I were at Cruise’s on Monday, the 12th of January; saw deceased lying on the floor arumk in-the after- noon; Morocco picked him up and put nim to bea; about sundown he awoke and got ap; he them went and got three pints ofrum ; shortly alterwards deceased and Congo gota quarreling; then = began to figut: Congo knocked him down on the be and “pounded” him ; Morocco separated them; thea they clincued again, when Congo again knocked him down and commenced mpg, on him; he kicked him three or four tun leceased’ begred of him not to stamp him to deash.
