CuARcoAL FOR SWINE Give you: hogs
charcoal every week, or rather keep it con-
stantly supplied You need not be at the
trouble of pulvcrixng it for them all that
is necessary is to throw a few shovelfuls
into the pen once week. The animals
will do their own grinding, and be better
for it. Sulphur should also be freely sup
piled at this season. Sows with pig should
have a small quantity Of fresh meat given
them few days before pigging. This will
prevent them from destroying their young.
Rotten wood thrown to them is also OF great
service. Ii fresh meat cannot be conycn
icntly obtained,a few slices of saltcl pork
may be given as substitute.

| Discoveries IN ArRIcA.--A series of
recent letters addressed to DR.. Whewcll,
Sir Rodcrick Murchison, Professor Scdg-
wick, Miss Burdett Coutts, and others by
DR.. Livingstone, bring down the histo-
ry of the present expedition to the Inst
date. 1t had asccndod the Zambcsi for
about 800 miles, to the Kalrabrasa Falls,
which present no obstacle to powerful
steamer, but which could not be crossed
by the slight and badly constructed launch
which had been provided for the traveller
BY going up a tributary Of the Iambcsi,
the Shire, 100 miles. and marching over
land about go miles on foot, no had dis
covered lakc-Lake Shirwar or Ta-
mandur-hitherto unknown TO gcogra-
piers, 80 miles long and 30 10 40 wide,
without an outlet, and 200O feet above
the level of the sea. He and his party
also had the homer of first visiting and cx-
ploring the southern Lake Nyanji, out Of
which the Shire flows, and which mustnot
be confoundcd with the ke visited by
Captain Spckc. The Shire runs through
a rich valley, 100 miles long by 20 to 40
broad. 1t is most fertile, and will grow
any quantity Of sugar cane, cotton, indigo
corn and fruits. DIR. Livingstonc's per
sonal appearance on his first journey seems
to have puzzclcd the Portuguese. How
could man be clergyman who had
wife, who wore u mustache, used matha-
nttical Instruments, and displayed at his
girdle u six barrccd revolver? The
Doctor still retains his mustache, OH the
old principle that men have hair to wear
and women have not. He has long been
acting commander of his steamer, and has
experienced enough in his new vocation
to take the command of a steam Acet.-
