with him was boasting what he could do.
The captain who was standing near. re-
marked that it might be true but he did no.

him treats f.r all the gentleman present
that he could make his dog do three tbings
by telling him to do them. The eapt.in
took the bet. Old Moss opened the door
and went out on the guards, followed BY tbs

He went hsme; it occupied him several

He gave him nothing to do it with, but
sent him away.
And again he worked on, and made i,

the monarch, and he said:

Each time he brought il there was moth.

the monarch said:

The Livingstone Expedition.


MIR. Charles Livingstone, one of the MEM
bers of the African expedition, sends some
further PARTICULARS. The members of the
expedition appeared to be in good health
and spirits. Mr.. Livingstone supplies few
interesting details respecting their medical
treatment Of themselves, their modes OF OBJ
tanning fresh provisions, and the entOmo.
logical experiences incidental TO voyaging in
bad ship in werm climate. On the SAN
itory question he says.
"We have all lost faith in quinine as
preventive effe,er-tbough it is invaluable
in curing t--and have dropped the daily
use Of it. The fever Is very easily cured.-
As soon as we feel it commencing, we take
ssme pills composed o: jalnp, rhubarb, a
very little calomel, quinine, and perhaps an
additional dose OF quinine; and they never
fail to cure; so that, as soon as they operate
fever goes. The disease has curious effects.
One dreams amazingly, and even dreams
when awake. The mind seems intensely
active. On recovering, and, in my cuse,
about eight o'cluck each evening, you be-
gin to.think strongly of an English dinner,
and how you would walk into il, devouring
the roast beef and potatoes. This raging
appetite continues TOR an hour or so, and
there is little or none next morning Some.
times one wakes up in the middle of the
night, and the stomach or the fancy is after
the roast beel again. At times one feels
excessively irritable; nothing goes right
There is also a strange tendency to imagine
ones self insulled' and longing desire to
kick somebody into the river or elsewhere.
] had always sense enough left, however,
to'know that all this was the effect of fever.
We enjoy the best health when moving
about and working very hard" 80
Respecting occasional excursions, Mr.
Livingstone writes:
1--WE hudsome leisure this time to col
lect birds, etc., and take photographs Of in
teresting objects. AS soon as the steamer
stopped, DR.. Kirk and myself-Dr. Kirk
being the physician and botunist of the party
---were ready to jump ashore with our in
struments and our guns. Once we had no
fresh provisions, not even fowl-nothlng,
in short, in the meat line, but one piece of
salt beef which came to an end only too
quickly. But as large focks of guinea-fovl
come in the dry season to the river to drink
we managed to shoot some of them. One
evening went with my gun to get some
thing for next days dinner. The time being
sunset, found flock roosting on tree,
and, crossing muddy creek, got quite near
without being seen. AT the first fire
brought down brace, and at the second a
:hird; but all three fell plump into the river
