DR.. Livingstone is reported safe
again. This is pleasing conci
dence. Most people will recollect
having seen something to that effect
before. 1t is now a matter of some
urcerta nty tcheye the DR.. is satc,-
but that he Is safe is established by
the preponderence of Geographic
dispatches to that effect. There is
an opportunity for speculation on
the PROBABILITIES of his being "safe
in the promised land,' or safely
slowed away in a preserved state to
serve as a saVory dish at the next
feast of some Catirc chief. Or, per
chance, he may be safely "bottled
up inside the hide of some pet hip
popotamus. But it is Il relief to
know that he is safe, and it would
be a still further relief if the cable
would stop bringing over that mes
sage for IL few days, until the know
ing ones have time to prepare furth
er details.

BRADFORD, FRIDAY, OCT. n, 1871.

The ku Klux OF South Carolina
are at last thoroughly terrified by
the prompt and energetic action OF
the authorities in bringing them to
trial, and of the courts in pronounc.
ing severe sentences upon them
Since the proclamation of martial
law they have been fleeing TO other
states in large numbers, while many
who belonged to the order, but who
never have taken part in the worst
outragCS, have surrendered to the
State Marshal, and will turn states
evidence if allowed to do SO. He
now has in custody about one hun
drcd, including eight chiefs, One
den of twenty and their chief vol
unfairly surrendered. This is a
hard blow upon the southern de.
mocracy, which is bolSterod up by
the ku Klux order, and will, no
doubt, call forth the sympathy OF
the Northern Democratic PRESS
But what can those editors ard De
mocratic authorities who have per
sistcntly denied the existence of this
organization say They must mourn
i'll silence, or eat their own words
and if it comes to the latter we feal
many of them will be choked 10
death in the atten pt to swallow the
falsehoods they have told.

Wade Hampton recently gave a
lecture on the life and character of
Gen. Lee, to Il Baltimore audience,
and it was made the occasion of a
grand demonstration Of the old
fashioned secesh sentiment of that
city which was the hot bed of trea-
son. jeff, DAVIS was present and
was greeted with uproarous ap-
plause. The fact of his having
been found occupying IA sleeping ear
berth with another mans wife, seems
to have added considerably to his
popularity i'll Baltimore. In his
lecture Hampton placed Lee above
Napoleon, Well ineton, ard all gen
erals of modern times, and Balti-
more howled appropriate applause.

A Sweet Adieu.

IF there is a more eloquent and touching
argument against war, than may be drawn
from the following little episode of the Fran
co-Prussian struggle, we have yet to see it
A corporal of the Second regiment of
Hhuringian infantry was ordered to assist in
burying the dead after the battle Of Woerth.
He described the scene to his father in Ger
many, and seat with his own, a letter which
he discovered in the hand Of French cap
tain. whom he found dead Oh tho field. The
letter read as follows
Ny Dear Iu-Siuce you are gone, | never
cease to think Of you. 1t is SO hard that
can It see you and embrace you every morn
ing, but hope that God will preserve your
health that you may soon return and kiss
your child. | behave very well in order to
make mamma feel your absence less. Ad eu,
dear pa kiss you tenderly. Your little
daughter, who loves you.

The brave soldier was evidently comforted
in his last hour of trial by the dear words of
love from his darling, whom he was never
more to see in this life.

field Of honor, with her sweet little letter in

MARRIAGE Leigh Hunt concludes al

MARRIAGE Leigh Hunt concludes an
essay on marriage as follows:
~ There is no one thing more lovely ID
this life, more full Of the divine courage, than
a young maiden, from her past life. from her
happy childhood, when she rambled over
every field and moor around her home; when
a mother anticipated her wants and soothed
her little cares. when her brothers and sisters
grew from merry playmatcs to loving, trust
full friends from Christmas gatherings and
romps, the summer festival in bower OF gar
den from the room sanctiied by the death. Of
relatives; from the secure backgrounds of her
childhood and girlhood and maideuhoo3, looks
IN the dark and unllluminated future, away
from all that. and yet unterriGed, undaunted,
leans her fair cheek upon her lovers breast,
and whispers, 'sDear heart cannots see, bat
but believe; The past was beautiful, but
the future can trust-with thee"

Unoecupied Lands in the Territories.

1t is wonderful the land that still awaits
occupation Of the immigrant from the States.
There are nearly thousand millioa acres of
land in the territories. The vast empire is
not, of course, furnished with railroads and
other modern appliances; but it affords st
least all the comforts enjoyed by the old set
tier, that sturdy pioneer who reduced the viii
derness to productive plains as he travelled
onward. The lands of the territories are thus
estimated

In all this vast area there are probably not
more than half million of white inhabitants.
In natural resources this territorial domain is
richer than all the area included in the States
The latter contains say forty million inhabi-
tants But there is country waiting for
forty million ofsetters, and even these would
hardly be near enough for neighborhood pur-
poses. All the poor,houees of Europe might
be emptied, and Indulgence made rich, if the
inmates could be insisted to reach this land of
hope

Hon. Henry G.. Davis.

We copy the following from dialogue IN
the Wheeling Register, relativeto the United
States Senator elect from that State:
Col P-"Why, II. G. Davis has got the
caucus nomination for Senator
Mr. A-''T!en the order of God and the
judgment of the Democratic party is just"
Col. P-"Why, that is pretty strong.
What do you know about Mr.. Davis"
Mr.. Al knew his father and him in
childhood His fasher had been rich, but
from confidence in endorsing for friends and
misfortunes in business, died poor, and, it is
believed, broken hearted. [ was then con
ductor of q construction train on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. Passing backwards
and forth on my section, l saw young Henry
Davis, a boy Of eighteen, going to his work
in the morning and returning in the evening.
He was working little patch of land at a
distance and maintained his mother and his
two younger brothers. I always stopped and
took him up both ways, as long as he worked
the patch aud | was on that part of the road,
and it was some years. Time passed on
Davis had got on the road and from one step
to another had become conductor; he had Civ.
en- his next brother much better education
t.an he had himself, and to the second one
all he could take, and maintained his mother.
My family had grown large. but my income
did not increase with it. I was under the
necessity of seeking new. location; and to
do this | embarked On the train at way sta
tion with all my family When the conduct
or come round, it was Henry G. Davis. I
asked him what my fare was He looked
over my family and replied, Mr. Ar,
will settle your fare and walked on. At night
the train had reached the then terminus of
the road | was about to remain in the car
with my family, feeling that could not af-
ford the inequalities Of the hotel. Mr.. Da
Wis passed through the car and said, Come,
get out and take supper, these children can't
go all nj sht without having something to eat.
did not know that il was an invitation, but
got up and took my family to the supper ia
BILE, thinking of the heavy draft it would be
upon my little stock of money, [ ate that
supper with some sadness +; but when went
to the clerk to pay, his reply was, Your bill
is settled by Mr. Davis The next morning
went to the stage Office to secure my seats
FOR my journey towards the Ohio, and there
my tickets were handed to me my seats had
been provided and paid for. Mr.. Davis had
been to the office before me- When the stage
was about to start and we were all in, this
| kind beneiactor came to tie door of it and
said to me, Ar, I have some little NOR
ey, not much; if you need it Or any part of
it, you can have it, and pay for it when you
are able repeat Colonel p, God has Civ
en- him his deservings." ".

Who has given her back to our arms once again

And see how it gathered in health and in grace
Is she not handsome, this mother of ours,
Waking to life like the budding of flowers?
Let us lose all In this flying life,
Sister and brother and husband and wife,
Mothers love only, all time has defied;
Shut the door softly, and come to her side.

Weary with travel. but laden with charms
Longing to clasp us within her dear arms

Welcome dear heart from the shadowy land,
