FRESH NEWS OF DIR. LIVINGSTONE

FRESH NEWS OF DR. LIVINGSTONE. -
Sir Roderick Murchison has sent the fol-
lowing letter to the London Times:
heartily rejoice to announce to the
public that l have this morning (the
24fh) received a. letter from DIR. Kirk
at Zanzibar, dated the 9Th of December,
1870, which has relieved me from all
anxiety respecting the fate Of my illus
trious friend Livingstone DR.. Kirk had
just received letter from the great Arab
Shelk Said of Unyamyembe, dated 16
Rabea ell Akbar, which being translated
is to this effect; After compliments,
your honored letter has reached, and
your friend has understood it. The peo-
ple(that is of a caravan sent from ZanZi
barr arrived in health, and are going on
to Ujji to our friend the Doctor The
news of him is thar he has not yet return
ed from Manimes (?) (the Arabic word is
spelt in three different Ways, but we ex-
pect him soon, and probably he and the
people with supplies will reach Ujiji at
the same time" Dr. Kirk adds AT
all events. on his arrival at Ujlji from his
western journey he will have goods for
his present wants. The new gang of
men with fresh goods has set out, and
the roads being free, we may hope they
will reach quickly and safely" We now
learn for the first time that Livingston
had made an extensive journey to the
west of Lake Tanganyika, and this ac-
counts for elong continued absence of
all information respecting him. Any
letters that Livingston may have writ
ten and confded to jealous Arabs have
probably either been destroyed by them
or lost with some of the caravans that
persisted on the journey to the cost dur
ing the cholera epidemic. aa

An amusing incident occurred Sunday
in the Methodist church at Whitehall.
After the morning services were conclud-
ed, the pastor announced that collection
would be taken up " to recushion the
pews, "and he hoped that each would con
tribute at least one dollar. A young
man was present who had been IN the
army during our late war, and who,
against his will, had partaken of the
hospitality Of Andersonville, and under
stood imperfectly, owing to difficulty in
his bearing. Instantly leaping to his
feet, he said he would sooner give 81
to the starving people in Paris, than
give fifty cents for recruiting the Prus-
slams. He'd been hungry and knew
what it was"

TIFF POLITICIANS IN CoNGREss.-Those
who watch the proceedings of Congress
cannot fall to see how much Importance
is attached to the present shaping of
events with view to secure political
success the coming Presidential election.
This is the controlling motive for action,
apparently. Perhaps it 10 we'll that it is
so-else there would be no check upon
corruption whatever, except the remnant
Of honor and fidelity to trust which may
exist IN the persons Of some members.
But it matters little what the subject for
legislation is, the politicians regard less
the intrinsic merits of the bill, and de-
vote more time and attention to deter
mining whether in case it is made law
it will add to or diminish the power of the
opposing party. The peoples time IS
wasted in long speeches for political
effect. If Senator Sharp says good
thine which the people are likely APP
prove, the whole battery of the opposi-
tion begins q bombardment of his lines
to destroy his advance. 1t is Moltke
and Trochu over again. Meanwhile the
people suffer.
We speak of this matter so frequently
not because we have chronic disposition
to find fault, but because we desire to di-
rect the attention of the people to the
way their servants work. They are sent
to Congress to clear the field of stones
that obstruct cultivation. Instead, they
are diligently throwing stones at each
other all over the field. They do not
clear it, but waste time and strength in
political wrangles. A farmer would dis
charge such a set of men. The people
ought to force such servants to do legiti-
mate work Rural Neso Yorker

A TALMUDIc LEGEND.-A Prince once
said to Rabbi Gamaliel: +" Your God is
a thief; He once surprised Adam in
sleep, and stole rib from him."
The Rabbits daughter overheard the
speech and whispered word or two in
her fathers ear, asking his permission to
answer this singular opinion herself. He
gave his consent.
The girl stepped forward, and feigning
terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft
in application and cried out, " My leige
my liege! Justice! Revenger'
What has happeneds' asked the
Prince.
"A wicked theft has taken place." she
replied "a robber has crept secretly in.
to our house. carried away silver COB
let, and left gold one in its stead
What an upright thief p exclaimed
the Prince. "Would that such robberies
were Of more frequent occurrence
Behold, then, sire, the kind of thief
our Creator was; He stole rib from
Adam, and gave beautiful wife instead. y
"'Well said p avowed the Prince. 81

\ clergyman, having on certain oc-
casion delivered himself of what is called
a fine addres, was met by one of his hear
ers the next day, when, in the course OF
conversation, allusion was made to it
The parishioner remarked that he had a
book containing everv word of it, and
had heard it before. To this the clergy
man boldly asserted that the address was
written by himself the week previous to
its delivery, and therefore the assertion
could not be correct. The next day he
received splendid copy of Webster's
Dictionary. 30

Professor o s. Fowler recently visited
the Charlestown, Mass, State Prison
in the interests of phrenology" and ask

fellow, with well shaped head, and soon
Fowler had his hands on him. Well,

FoRBIDDING THE BANNs.--A good
story is told Of Richard Mulcaster, who,
several centuries ago, was in the habit OF
Endorsing the preceEts Of the wise king
upon the ingenious youth of England.
One day as he was about to ipfict pun
ishment upon pupil, he paused awhile,
and there, according to the chronicler,
merry conceit taking him." he said /;
+" ask the banns of ma.rimony between
this boy on the one side and Lady Birch
on the other side and ifany of you know
lawful cause or impeachment why they
should not ID joined together let him
speak, for this is the last time OF asking"
Thereupon good sturdy boy and of
quick wit stood up and said " Master,
[ forbid the bannsr' Yea, sirrah, and
why SO ?" exclaimed the master. "Be-
causesboth parties are not agreed" was
the answer. The old pedagogue, who
enjoyed the joke, admitted the validity
of the objection, and pardoned the fault
of the one pupil and the presumption of
the other.

THE BREATH. breath is the air
which issues from the lungs during re-
SEPARATION through the nose and mouth.
This is performed without an effort, but,
still it causes motion in the external
air, before the nose and mouth. The air
expanded is the vehicle Of sound and
speech. A similar portion Of oxygen
and . smaller portion of carbonic acid,
are contained in the air which is inhaled,
than that which is exhaled. There are
also aqueous particles in the breath, that
are precipitated by the GOODNESS of the
extgn nal air, in the form of a vapor like.
wife otA INSTANCES which owe their
origin to seafatiDas in the mouth nose,
wiudpipe, and ling 7'heae cause the
changes in the BREATH which may be
known by the smell, like the other quail
itia of Tie air. In youth the breath is
inspired, and contains acid; it looses these
qualities after the age Of puberty, and
becomes more agreeable. With adyan-
cling age it becomes again unpleasant A
bad breath is, however, often caused by
local affections in the nose, the mouth,
and the windpipe; viz, by ulcers in the
nose, cancerous polypi, by discharges
from the mouth, by sores on the lungs,
or peculiar secretions in them. 1t is also
caused by carious teeth, by impurities in
the mouth, and by many kinds of food
such as horse radish, onions, and also by
flesh, if used to the exclusion Of other
food, and by feyers. In the last case it
often varies with the character of the
disease The remedy for this complaint
must depend upon the causes which pro-
duce it. Substances of an aromatic kind,
which have strong, rich smell, should
be chewed to diminish its ofensiveness,
Parsley has been found of peculiar use !;
but il is often impossible to remove this
unpleasant disorder. According to the
Prussian code, bad breath furnishes
ground for divorce.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SU
PREME COURT.

Our readers are aware that the time OF
the appointment of Judge Lyon to MI
the vacancy of the Supreme Bench oc-
cssioned bl the death of Byron Paine,
expires on the first day OF June A@xt, ana
that in April the election takes place tor
a full term OF SIX years. AS it was not
considered expedieDt IN the Republican
convention for the purpose of nominating
= candidate for the office especially as the
appointment Of Judge Lyon to fill the
vacancy has met with such universal com
mendation on all sides, the Republican
members of the Legislature have united
in call upon Judge Lyon to be candl
date.
The Democrats held caucus at Madi
son a4few evenings since, and nominated
Judge Orion as their candidate. but he
positively declines, and it is not unlikely
that Lyon will have the held entirely to
himself.
The following resolutions were passed
by the Republican caucus:
WHEREAS, An election is to be held on
the first Tuesday Of April next, to elect
an Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court for the full term of six years and,
WHEREAS, In the opinion of the Re
publican State Central Committee, it IS
not deemed advisable or necessary to call
a convention to nominate candidate, IN
view of the course which has generally
been pursued by the Republicans IN this
State in selecting candidates for Judges
of the Supreme Court without the inter
position of nominating convention, but
through the recommendation OF the Re
publican members of the Legislature in
session at the Capitol; and,
WHEREAS, His Excellency, the Gov
ernor, has appointed Hon. VIM. Penn
LYON, Of Racine, to serve out the expiring
term of the late Judge Byron Paine,
therefore
ReS0tUcd, That we recognize the ap-
polntment Of Judge Lyon as ore eminent
" fit to be made. That in his election
to the bench of the Supreme Court for
full term, the people of this State Will
secure the services of an honest man, and
an able lawyer, an experienced jurist and
az incorruptibie judge, whose ability is
unouestionable and whose integrity Is
above reproach--a fit successor to the
lamented Paine--a worthy associate OF
the two judges who have SO long, 80 ably
and so well constituted majority of the
court, and contributed to make 1t fully
equal to any court of the last resort in
the several states OF the Union To the
intelligent voters of Wisconsin, for As
s9ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, we
recommend the election of William Penn

New WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTs-Ba-

NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTs.-Ba-
ron Gustayus Won Nathan, the chamber
lain Of the King Of Prussia, committed
suicide under q most singular clrcumst2n-
ces at Berlin few weeks ago. The
Baron had run into debt so heavily that
utter ruin stared him in the face, and so
he invited all his creditors to meet at q
certain hour at place IN the neighbur
hood Of the palace, when he would settle
with them. When they arrived there
they found an elegant dinner ready for
them, the Baron acting as host. He was
iiv, " and witty in the extreme, and the
guests were in the best possible humor,
when the Baron suddenly rose and asked
to be excused for minute He stepped
into an adjoining room and directly af-
ferward shot was heard The guests
rushed in and found the Baron lying on
the floor with his brains blown out.

Committee therefore selected one of those

been loaded and pointed at the butts,
when it suddenly occurred to one OF the
committee that the pulling OF the lanyard
might disturb the aim. 1t was therefore
suggested the discharge should be effect

pleasant tizz OF the latter appliance was

unusual sound than he sent oct his heels,
and, turning completely round, pointed
the mltrailleuse among the members OF

Those who expect to think should not eat
much food which simply produces warmth
and fat, such as ham, fat pork, white bread.
butter, rice, tapioca and starch. These con
tain very little phosphate food, being chiefly
carbonaceous. Prot. Agassiz says "fish enters
largely into the requisition of the human sys-
TEN. 1t is kind of food which refreshes the
system, especially after intellectual fatigue.
There is no other article of food that supplies
the waste OF the head so thoroughly as fish
diet. Fish contains phosphorus to large
extent, a chemical element which the brain
requires for growth and life. He would not
say that exclusive use of fish would make Il
blockhead wise man, but that the brain
would not be wanting in one of its essential
elements" Man cannot, however, live Oil
fish alone, Sbecause most fish are not fat
enough to furnish the heat-producng element
in sufficient quantity. The amonnt of phos-
phatic or brain-supporting food contained in
the flesh of animals is in proportion to the ac-
tivity of that animal; those of greater activity
such as the canary bird, for instance, secure
food which feeds brain, nerve aud muscle,
but does not produce fat. The flesh of the
trout, the pickerel or the salmon impart more
mental and physical vigor to the eater than
the flesh or comparatively dormant fish, like
the eel and founder. The flesh of wild ami
mails, such as the bison or deer or boar, pro-
mote activity in the eater more than the stall
fed OK, sheep or hog. Wild game is generally
considered better food, especially for the con-
valescent, than the iattened domestic turkey
or goose. Barley, oats, and wheat ground
without bolting, furnish food for brain; bus
lawyers, ministers, and students eat the white
superfne, or btlted wheat bread, and 60 lu
sleep.
That which would have fattened pig, and
give him no desire to exercise or to think, Ia
eaten by the learned and refined of the human
race, who look in pity upon the poor peasant
following the plough, because he is Obliged tJ
eat his brown loaf; which brown loaf and
cheap fish and wild game contain the incte-
ment to brain work, in which poem, orations,
and art are conceived and nursed. The prop
er food for laborng men-we mean those wbD
have to exercise muscular strength chiefly
should be that which contains the greatest
amount of nitrogen. Among these articles
barley and cheese stand hign. The red hesli
OF the OK or sheep and unbolted bread are tho
leading articles. Men who train prize-hghl-
ers seem to understand much better than 9th
ers how to build up physical strength and en-
durance. When their battle or their race -
ended, they lay aside their unbolted bread AMI
fruit, their lean beef and mutton, and fall inlu
their old habits of liquor-drnking and of eai-
ing starch bearing articles, such as rice, fine
bread. pudding, with fat meat and bntter aud
