. DIR. LIVINGSTONE, the African explorer, at last
accounts moving up the river Ravenna, on the
east coast of Africa intending to visit the unknown
northern extremity of Lake Nyanza. The latest
adyices received from him are to May 18TH His
progress was slow, as the Ravenna is flanked on
both sides by chain of hills from four hundred to
six hundred feet high, covered with dense, en-
tangled jungle. The natives were very friendly.
DAN BRYANT, the Irish comedian, was invited
few days ago by the owner of menagerie to visit
the collection of animals in their winter quarters.
The two inspected the beasts after one of Mr..
Bryants evening performances was over; and the
animals, angry at being disturbed at such an I'M
seasonable hour, greeted them with all sorts of
rude noises, until the elephant, who enjoyed a
greater degree of liberty than the rest, and was es
pecially indignant at being awakened for one man

trunk, lifted Bryant high in the air, and threw him

The HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE
during tho Rebellion. By General l..
c. Baker, late Provost Marshal and
Chief Detective Of the War Depart
ment. Jones BIothers & Co., Phila-
delphia, Pa, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Da-
venport, lows.
These revelations of the Chief of the
National Detective Police will give key
to many seeming anomalies in the history
of the late War. Its previous historians
have narrated that of which we all know o
great deal. But General Baker has writ
ten full account Of important events,
hitherto sedulously veiled from the knowl-
edge of the public. This narration is a
startling one, but as true as it is strange,
for the General has in his five years of ot-
fetal experience learned the necessity Of
vouchers, and gives them profusely when
ever and wherever they are needed. The
Secret Service system of the United States
War Department during the Rebellion was
a we'll organized and powerful one. Gen.
eral Baker was in a great measure its or
ganizer, and for FIVE years its head and
hand. What be saw, did and learned,
forms the ground work of this absorbing
and valuable WORK; he stood at the primal
springs Of power, and does not spare in
the least peccadilloes of the magnates of
the Nation. His own personal adventures
were always hazardous, and often perilous
in the extreme and would of themselves
form an interesting book. The late Chief
does not however, indulge in egotism for
good reasons he determined to enlighten
the country on the subject of the Secret
Service, and this task he has accomplished
faithfully and we'll.
Supplying many otherwise missing links
to the future historian, and clearing up
numerous mysteries that have shrouded
topics of historical interest to our own day
and generation. The work has been is

land Of my birth. have done only that
which every Irishman and every man whose
soul throbs with the feeling of liberty should
do | seek not the death Of a martyr, but
if it is the will of Almighty and Omnipo-
tent God that my devotion for the land of
my birth should be tested at the scaffold, I
am an Irishman by birth, an American by
adoption, by nature lover of freedom, and
an enemy to the power that holds my ma
tive land in bonds of tyranny. It has so
often been admitted that the oppressed
have the right to throw off the yoke of op-
preston, even by English statesmen, that
! deem it unnecessary to advert to the fact
here 1reland's children are not, never were,
and never will be willing or submissive
slaves, and so long as England flag covers
one inch of Irish soil, just SO long will they
believe it to be divine right to power and
erect in its stead the God-like structure of
self-government,"

A SAD HISTORY.

A day or two since coroner's Jury-held
an inquest in the city of Louisville upon
the body of an abandoned woman named
Kate Carrigan, who was strangled to death
by falling from fence, upon which por-
ton of her wearing apparal had caught.
The wretched won an was in state of
beastly intoxication at the time, otherwise
she could have disengaged her garments
and suffered no harm whatever,
A few months ago this woman was
frequent delinquent at the recorders court
in this city, being arrested almost weekly
in sume of the low dens Of A" Smoky Row "
where, under the influence Of liq1or, she
had become reckless and uproriOus. She
had once been beautiful girl, and the lin-
esments of most fascinating lovliress
were never effaced from her, ,countenance.
although she sank repeatedly into depths of
drunkenness and dissipation seldom second
ed by fellow sisters, and among whom she
ranked lowest of the low.
Amidst all the excesses to which the poor
girl was addicted, her soft blue eyes Dever
lost their lovliness, and we remember more
than once to have seen upfeeling men look
upon her with saddeued faces, at thoughts
of what she once was, as they beheld her
pale AMI wretched at the bar Of the police
court.
Kate Carrigan was once an accomplished
and respected young lady. We recall
scrap or two of the history of this poor fe-
male, which reads sad lesson. She was
the only daughter Of wealthy parents, a vir-
giuian by birth, and at the age of fourteen
was left fatherlcss. Two years later she
was seduced by some fieud in human
shape, and in a few weeks after,
fit of remorse, which could not have been
far from actual insanity abandoned luxu-
rious home aud plunged into the widest
vortex of dissipation. She wandered from
city TO city, sinking lower, aud about year
after the close OF the war came to Nash
vile FROM this point her heart-broken
mother heard the first news of her erring
daughter, and sent an uncle to bring home
the lost child. He was unsuccessful, is all
that we know. The poor girl afterwards
went to Louisville, and the end we have
already seen. ...
Oh cursed and broken life, sad and iueq-
plicable! Oh backened and filth begrimmed
spirit! wall of bitter anguish runs through
the annals of thy short earth history. A bit
Of charnal house clay in rough'pine coffin,
above which is hsaped the rude earth of a
pauper,s grave, is all that remains TO tell
of thy career in his dark, cruel world.
A year and q half ago the mother, heart
broken and despairing, lived isolated and
alone, sorrowing with an uueonsolable sor-
row over the angel which had once blessed
the desolate household. We know not if
she survives the daughter Nashville Press
and Times.

TIE President IN THE STREETS WITH.
OUT GUARD telegram from Washing
ton says: "The time has come again
when the President Of the United States
may walk the streets in safety. Yester-
day President Johnson took walk out on
Fourteenth street, wholly unattended
without guard, policeman or any hing else
to suggest the thoughtIot possible, danger.
He took quiet stroll, unknown to all
save those who met him on the way and
respectfully saluted him. The good old
time of peace are returning indeed"
Early in Mr.. Lincoln's administration
guards were placed around the President
whenever he ventured out into the street,
and that custom has continued. until now.
II is significant and worthy of note that
the above custom was not discontinued
until of the release of Jefferson Davis.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS AND LIBERTY
OF SPEECH.-The military Governors of
the South, who are acting as police in
the Southern States, should remember
that no Legislation OF Congress can abol-
ish that clause in the constitution Of the
United States which recognizes and guar
antees the perfect freedom of the press
and of speech. If they properly under
stand their duties under the laws of Con
gress they can get along with the greatest
ease, and will find no delicacy or difficulty
in their positions. One editor il just as
muct at liberty to write against the Re-
construction laws as another is to write in
their favor. One stump speaker has just
as much right 10 criticise the acts of Con.
gress and to laud the chivalry to the skies
as another has to uphold the Congressional
policy and ridicule the Southern braves.
But no State officer is entitled to use his
position TO interfere with or embarrass the
operation Of a United States law, nor has
any man, Office holder or private citizen a
right to incite riot to disturb the public
peace.

John Randolph Among the Boys.

The correspondent of the Central Pres
byterian furnishes some "reminiscences of
his school days more than fifty years ago.
The celebrated John Randolph, then at
at the zenith Of bis power as leading
member Of Congress, had three wards
(nephews) at the school THAT Of Rev. Dru-
ry Lacy, Prince Every County, Virginia, }
at which he used to be frequent visitor.
The writer says:
ut was Mr.. Lacy's custom to hear his
boys recite their Latin and Greek grammar
lessons before breakfast, and / have knwon
Mr.. Randolph more than once to come
from Bizarre, two miles, and enter the
school house by sun up. At nine o'clock
the school was formally opened, when oil
the boys read verses aloud in the Bible,
until the chapter or portion was finished.
Mr.. Randolph seemed always pleased
with the exercise, read his verse in turn,
and with Mr.. Lacy sometimes would ask
questions. On one occasion, while read
ing one of the books of the Pentateuch, he
stopped lad with the question:
"Tom Miller. can you tell me who was
Moses father?"
"Jethro, SIR" was the prompt answer.
"Why, you little dog, Jethro was his fa-
ther-in-law."
"Then putting the question to four or
five others by name, not one of whom
could answer, he berated them soundy
for their carelessness and inattention in
reading, saying.
"When you were reading last week,
William Cook read the verse containing
the name of Moses father, and have you
all forgotten it already
Just then young man caught the name,
and unable to repeat the verse of the BIZ
bic, repeated part of a line from Milton
-"The potent rod of Amram's son, &c.
"Ah," said Mr., Randolph, "that is the
way you learn your Bible-get it out of
other books-what little you know Of IT.
and, with an exceedingly solemn manner
and tone, added "and SO it is with US all
and a terrible proof of our depravity it
is, that we relish and remember anything
better than the book.
"The very utterance, simple as it was,
filled every one with awe, and made him
feel guilty, while at the same time it inn
parted reverence for the Bible which was
never felt before, and which from one mind
at least, will never be effaced. MIR. Ran
dolph was so pleased. however, with the
young man who quoted from his favorite
author, that in short time--as soon, per-
hsps, as he could get it from Richmond
he presented him with beautiful copy of
Millions Paradise Lost, with suitable in
scriptlon in his own elegant handwriting"
