A GOOD STORY OF CABLYLE.-A good story is
told by the London correspondent Of the Tribune.
One evening the great novelist, Dickens, was
reading the trial scene in Pckwick TO an audience
of rank and fashion in London. Presently rank
and fashion began 10 have their attention drawn
to an explosive merriment in one part Of the hall.
On the front bench sat tall man, blue.eyed aud
gray-haired who ever and anon swung his steer pie
crowned felt hat fOroibly down on his knees,
bursting into peals Of such inextinguishabe
laughter as the gods on Homers Olympus, when
they beheld limp footed Vulcan hating round the
circle as cup bearer. Rank and fashion were in-
clined to be shocked at this unconventional mirth
but by -and-by the whisper went round that he of
the steeple hat was no other than Thomas Carlyle,
of Chelsea, and for the rest of the evening Mr..
Dickens had but a divided attention from his
verently-woDderinga audience.

AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE OF DR.. LIVINGSTONE.
Return Of The Search ErpedaiOR.-The Living.
stone search expedition returned TO Plymouth,
England, on the 18th Of January. The members
Of the expedition are satisfied that DR.. Living
stone was not murdered. He did not take the
route expected from the Ruvuma river, at about
ii degrees south along the north coast of Lake
Nysssa, in from SO degrees to "a degrees east
but from the Ruyums went south. round the
south end Of Lake Nyassa, going as far as IA de-
grees Is south. Thence he proceeded TO the
northwest, and was left plrsung that route
either with the view Of exploring the west coast
of Lake Nyassa, and thus escertaining how far it
extends north, and then to proceed on TO Lake
Tanganyika, or he had gone direct for Tangany-
ika, and thence down the Nile home.
Nataka, Makata, Narenga and M3ksura, men
toned by the johanna men, were found on the
southern route instead Of the northern. The ex-
petition followed DR.. Livingstone up to within a
few miles Of where it was reported he was muir
dered, and there found that the doctor and his
"boys" we're ferred over marshy lake by Ma.
reDga, but the Johanna men under MOosa made
detOur round the lake and returned next day TO
MareDga, saying they had deserted Livingstone,
and should return TO the coast, because he was
leading them into country where they would be
murdered by the MavIte. The expedition also
had interviews with the native pOrters who had
carried Living stones luggage FIVE days journey
further TO PastOmbe.

In the third epistle of Grant to the radicals
(ostensibly to the Presidency he charges Mr..
johnson with conspiracy to impeach his
honor as a soldier and his integrity as a man,
and ruin him in the eyes of his countrymen.
Inasmuch as President johnson is comman-
der-in-chief of the army of the United States,
and Grant subordinate officer, the New York
Herald inquiries whether this language is not
insubordinate; and whether, by using it he
has not made himself amenable to military
law.

A STRANGE Characterization in CoSin.-
The following, taken from the New York Post,
reminds US of a somewhat similar occurrence near
this city, recently, as reported:
"a story is told Of a lady, very hastily buried
alive at Passy, last month. She was seized with
a lethargy, which terminated 10 apparent death.
She was laid out in q coffin, and hearse was at
the door waiting to convey her to the cemetery,
when her husband said he was not satisfied she
was really dead. In consequence of his deter.
mined opposition to the iDterment, three medical
men were called in. They found that her heart
was beating, and in their presence child was
bern, but dead. The coffin and hearse we're sent
away. The lady, however, never recovered con.
sciOusDess.
The local incident referred to is stated as having
occurred in The following manner The body of
lady Of this city who had died while encieRte, and
within short time of the day looked forward TO
for her confinement, was taken to the Catholic
cemetery, near Lick Run, for burial. Owing to
the frozen condition Of the ground it was found
better TO deposit the coffin and its contents in a
vault for short time, until suitable grave could
be dug. On the day following another body was
deposited within the vault. When those in charge
of the place were about to leave and lock the
vault after their duties with this body were per-
formed, they noticed certain indications about
the other coffin (Of which we are not informed)
that justified them in opening it. They did open
it-and when they had done so they we're aston
ished beyond measure to find that it contained
three dead bodies instead Of one. Parturiion
had taken place, and the corpse of the
woman (if corpse she was when buried,) had
yielded up the dead bodies Of twins.
We are unable to make positive assertion OF
the truth of this statement, or TO give any names
in connection with it. For some reason all state.
ments Of the affair have been suppressed on the
part of those acquainted with it, it, indeed it ever
traDspired. II may be possible that through some
terrible mistake, the woman was buried before
her death.-tCineinnat Commercial, 4th.
