Extempore Speaking.


To speak well you must be in rap
port, not only with your own mind,
but with your subject and your audi
ence. It is really wonderful that this
connection is so rarely complete, and
that such mishaps come from its alb
sence. Sometimes you are out Of joint
with yourself, and your mind seems no
more to jump with your tongue than
the mind of the man in the moon, and
you feel that you have no hold Of your
self. Again, your thought, although
quite active in certain way, does not
enter into the subject. and you are
very much like an eager horseman
who wants TO ride, hut finds the horse
refusing to be mounted, or, when
mounted, insisting upon standing still
or pitching the luckless rider over his
head. Sometimes, moreover. when
you and your subject get on very well
together, you fail to connect with the
audience, and without having any
positive quarrel with them, you iiae
yourself as far apart as If they were

Fate of DR.. Livingstone.

The dispatch which was received
from her maiesty's consul at Zanzibar,
and DIR. Kinks letter to Sir Roderick
Murchison, read at the Royal Geo
graphical society ON Monday evening,
have awakened considerable hopes of
the safety of the distinguished tray
eler. A narrative has reached DIR.
Kirk whieh,sif it may be believed, will
disprove the story of DIR. Livingstone's
death as told BY the Johanna men.
From the statement of native intro
duced to DIR. Kirk by Bantam trader,
it appears that a white man with a
party of thirteen blacks arrived at one
of the villages under Maranga while
the native was there. All had fire.
arms, and six carried double barrelled
guns. The white man was of mod
crate height, not stout, dressed in
white, and wore cloth wTaPtS round
his head. He gave the chief look
ing glass, and was offered ivory, which
he declined, stating that he was not a
trader. He then went northward.
This is all the information which the
native can give, if we except one inn
portant item. When DR.. Kirk met
him again, he placed before him his
books Of photographic portraits. In
the first he did not recognize the like
ness of the man he saw in the interior,
although it contained very fine side
view Of Livingstone. In the second
he at once pointed to staring likeness
of the traveller which DR.. Kirk kept as
a caricature, and said, THAT is the
man." Then he added, tCome on to
Bagamogo and see my master and the
other men; they have seen him also
and will tell you all they know" The
native, it may be added, was one of g
caravan passing from Bagamogo along
the usual trade route to Wemba anc
Maranga; where they remained trad.
ing for some time, and again returned
to The coast. DR.. Kirk thinks that i
the head man of the party can b
found 1t may be possible 70 identify
the stranger, who to their hopefal i'm
agination appears 50 like their LONG
lost friend. 1t was decided at ono,
TO set out for Bagamogo TO make in
quiries. The story Of a white maj
having been seen at Uruwa is q dis
fiucl thing from the narrative nos

may reyile, but their acts will
become known by them. The
judges will be reticent, because they are
lost TO rectitude. The community is SO

not rise in thunder against them. The
justice of the courts, l repeat, is rotten,
rank and foul. l say we are in more danger
now than before slavery was wiped away (;
or truth, justice and honesty have departed.
Our most sacred liberty and institutions

than by being overwhelmed by slavery.
Money ia our danger and the corruption
which follows it. Friends and brethren, |
have borne my testimony, have not over
stated anything; have not been extrava-

Your indignation must be aroused. You
must learn to speak that which you feel
and be known by discretion. Let right be
pitted against wrong. No matter under
what circumstances it may come to pass be
true to your feelings. You must do your
duty in all public affairs. | do not think

recommendation, the Philadelphia Tele7

owe think Michigan can do much bet'

gogue, happening to be on the right side
at present, But he is a man who is not
qualified, either by intellect or habits, for
the high position which he has now filed
during period of twelve years. In all
the elements of craftsmanship he is a
mere pigmy by the side OF his colleague

The King of Bavaria has just with~
drawn the pension which the popular
German poet Geibel has received from
the privy purse for the last fifteen years.
The immediate cause of the royal dis
pleasure is poem which Geibel wrote to
welcome the King of Prussia on his visit
to Lubbock, Geibels native place, and the
reason alleged in the official communica~
ton is the change in Geibers political
sentiments" Geibel has written a long
letter to the King of Bavaria, in which
he first resigns his prolessOrship at the
University Of Munich, and then declares
that there has been no change in his pO-
litical opinions, and that in his earlier
poems he had always expressed an ardent
longing for great united Germany. The
events of 1866 had only given the feeling
a more definite form Geibel has many
friends in Munich, and his loss will be
the more regretted at that capital, as II
involves that of another literary celebN
rity.
Paul Heyse, the well-knOwn novelist
who was also in the receipt of a pension
from the royal purse, has written to the
King of Bavaria to the effect that, as he
entirely shares Giebels political senti-
ments, he also wishes to resign his PEN

SOutherners in New York.
The New York correspondent of the
Mobile Register gives the following in re,
cent letter:
l have seen it stated in print that South
ronism (if may coin a word) has almost
disappeared from this city. The statement
ia not in any respect true. There is more
of it than ever before. There is hardly a
trade or profession in which large num-
Der of Southern men are not engaged, and
most of these have come North since the
war. They are found at the bar, on the
press, practicing medicine, in educational
institutions, in banks and insurance Of
fees, employed "a clerks in wholesale
stores, and, in fact, following every bust
ness in the long list of avocations in New
York. Then there are large and con-
stantly increasing social circles, composed
almost exclusively of Southern men and
women, large and fashionable boarding
houses, where one meets hardly any bat
S,uthern people, a church attended by
Southern people only, and two hotels
known by every one to be patronized
almost solely by Southerners. Instead of
being on the decline in New York, South
ern influence are constantly increasing. Il
permeates the whole business circle, IL
found in the best society, and is almost
brushed against by every saunterer on
Broadway. No doubt this is very annoy
ing to the "loyaP element, but don't zee
how that element is going to get rid Of it.

A WILL CASE.
4 Bachelor Leaves His Fortune to a
SpirituRlistic DOetress.

i
SpiTituRlistic DOetress.
A we'll known wealthy bachelor has
lately died and left the bulk of his pro-
perty to a spiritualistic doctress, whose
name and fame has gone abroad into all
our city circles. 1t seems that about year
and half ago the lady named as heir TO
the property, received call one day from
the wealthy bachelor, who was desirous to
obtain treatment fpr painful and lingering
disease. He had been treated by scores of
regular practitioners; but all their efforts
had proved futile in restoring to the in
valid his wonted health. So, hearing of
the success of the mediumislic doctress, he
came to try her skill in the wonderful art
of healing.
She thought she could cure him. Visits
were frequent and various kinds Of treat
ment were adopted, and the patient seemed
TO get better and better. OF course the
experience of better health made the opu-
lent invalid generous. His fees were pro-
fuse. Money was Of no account. He gave
it almost constantly. Down one day came
check for $4,000. When it was pre-
sented at the bank for payment, it was
thought to be mistake, and a clerk was
sent out to hunt up the drawer, and ascer-
tain its correctness. 1t was paid, however,
and the greenbacks went to carpenters,
masons, and laborera, who were building
new and elegant houses for the fair and
successful doctress.
He came at last to believe in things I'M
seen but potent They had spiritual sit
tings together. The room wherein these
happy and interesting hours were passed
was christened 'the room Of Jesus" be-
cause heavenly visitors came down and
abode in it, and uttered through the earthly
medium words of divine and godlike i'm
port.
The treatmentand the familiar acquaint-
ance continued from month to month, and
another check was given by the invalid,
this time amounting to $4,000. All at
once the improving health of the patient
seemed to fail.
The bed was taken TO, and the man felt
the earth slipping away from him hour by
hour. Then will was made, in which,
in consideration of the respect that the
dying man felt for the woman, and for her
cause, all of his large estate, estimated at
1880, 900, was given unreservedly to her
ard her heirs, in fee simple.
The heirs at law, when they heard of the
disposal of their kinsman's property, were
naturally enough astounded, and measures
were attonce taken to contest the probate of
the last will and testament Of the uncle, on
the ground of insanity, undue influence,
and unfit state of mind to make such
