" Concerning the fate of DR.. Livingstone,
the African Explorer, Sir r. Murchisou, OF
the English Royal Geographical Society, has
expressed more hopeful views than have gen
orally been entertained. Prot. Murchson
thinks that DR.. l.. has been for three years in
the heart of Africa, at ujiji, native settle
ment on Lake Tanganyika which Livingstone
believes to be the real fountainhead of the
Nile. This lake, represented as over two
hundred miles long, lies south Of the Albert
and Victoria (Nyansa) lakes, and is supposed
TO flow into the former. If such is the fact
the sources of the Nile are some seven OF
eight degrees farther south than the heads Of
the Albert and Victoria lakes This is the
question which DR.. Livingstone has under
taken to settle. But he has BEEN according
to Murchison, for three years at Ujiji, waiting
for supplies from Zanzibar to resume his
journey northward on the Lake Tanganyika.
The Professor further explains that the chol-
era on the eastern coast of Africa arrested a
relief expedition sent out some time ago, but
that now the coast being clear, the English
Consul of Zanzibar, happening to be in Eng
land, would go back at once to provide another
little expedition for the explorers relief; and
as it would take over two months to reach
him from the coast, some eight months would
elapse before he could be heard from.

Chinese Immigration.

John Chinaman has stalkcd across the con-
tincnt and squatted in Massachusetts, where.
at the sons Of the Pilgrims have gone mad,
and in their fright are weak as other men. "
viii the American people never learn the
lessons which our experience in relation to
foreign immigration, and especially that in
regard to slavery, are so well calculated to
teach
The first measure ofrclief or safety, is not
to exaggcrate the difficulties Of the situation
Men in a furry Of excitement and alarm arc
not good prophets and of course give way to
groundess fears When ireland aud Germany
began to send their millions to our shores
there were those who prophccicl unnumbcreC
evils thcrcirom But at the end Of two gen.
erations, in which the tide Of foreign popula
ton has flowed in deep and strong labor is
higher in this market than ever before These
immigrants at first worked for low wages, but
they proved themselves more apt in learning
our prices than our trades. For time tn,
Lrishmau lived on the potato, as does the Chi
naman upon his simple dish of rice but he
soon learned to relish the variety of food, an,
as much Of it, for himself and family as any
body could procure. lie also wants school
aud educational privileges for his children
and freely taxes himself to procure them
He wants his family to attend church, and to
appear as respectfully as his neghbors. lie
soon ellis his place in society as actively an,
as proudly as his neighbor This is not only
good for nina good thing in tself---bu
it hurts nobody else Those who expecte,
injury from his competition find after all tina
they are not hurt in the least. And the sam
thing is true of other nationalties whcl
found their way hther. They soon want t.
buy farms - to set up business for themselve
to strike out into new adventures and pro
ftable spcculations
Such, also, isproving the result of the abo
liton Of slavery. When the question wa
pending, large proportion 81 northern labor
ers especially in the larger cities, were terri
bly, alarmed lest the freedmen would rush t.
the North in overwhelming numbers, and fl
all the avenues of industrial labor. An,
multitudes more predicted sanguinary con
6ict of the races, ending only in the extermin
alton Of the blacks. But in the light of ex
perencc, how idle and foolish seem all thes
predictions
And so it will be found, if Chinese emigr,
ton continues, that the Chinaman will wan
all the wages he can command for his work
Ilc will soon learn the principles aud habit
of our civilization His children will becom
