FAREWELL TO PBsCHKA-LEuTNER.

The great prima donna who made such pro.
found impression at the Boston Jubilee and was one
OF the few bright features OF that unweldy affair
babe farewell to New York and America last night
before q host OF admirers. She sails to-day for
Europe, and it is not at all improbable that
but short time viii elapse before she re-
turns TO this city, where she has been re-
ceived with such significant marks OF appreciation.
Her selections LAST evening were the well known
"Der Hole Rache" from ''The Magic Flute,n Proch's
Dir and variations and as an encore Fruhllngsliedr
by August Horn. The vocal fireworks arranged
by Proch had to be repeated three times, and the
audience was as uproarious with enthusiasm as a
Presidential Convention. OF the merits and defects
of Madame Lcutner's voice we have already spoken
TO the fullest extent They were conspicuous as
ever at her farewell. II would be well here to I'D
dress word of warning to managers to place some
reasonable limits TO the preposterous terms which
foreign artists have lately been In the habit OF Oh
tanning and which leave but slender margin for
the treasurer TO balance his books properly Vocal
and instrumental performers have received more
money here for single engagement than they
could get in o dozen years IN Europe. We can
afford to be princey and to outbd our cousins
across the water, but not to be ruinously eXtrava
CANT.

Letters 70 the London Times Regarding
Mr.. stanlcy's Conversations with Liv.
ingstone-A Man Who Wants Proof.
The following letters have been addressed, by the
gentlemen whose names are attached, to the ed
itor OF the London times on the Livingstone-stan-
ley question which just now is the great subject OF
gossip throughout England:-
In the interesting report O. Dr. LvngsISSnes ais

wen to direct 70 some caSs
to have established concusivey the fact that the
rivers Chambezi and zambezi, which he says were
emit; but the truth is that this was ascertained
eighty years ago by DR.. Lacerda, who called the
the river OF Tcte. A summary account Of Lacerda's
expedition was published here IN 1852, and was
not wholly unknown to DR., Livingstone, for he

take which he inputes to the Portuguese for In his
letters he tells US that he found the Chambezi "true
to the character Of the zamben !"Proceedngs q

IL here called, in latitude ten degrees thrty-iour
ons so oy that asSez IS n
eral geographical designation, but an epithet i'm.
plying plenty OF meat" and probably applied
only locally to the parts OF stream
visited by game. Again, 1t Is worthy
OF remark that Lake Moero said In
his letter to have length OF fifty, with width OF
sixty miles has now become "a little lake SIX miles
long" This confirms the conjecture already eX-
pressed, that he saw the country In state OF nl;
usual Hood, and that his lakes are the iens and
marshes OF the Portuguese. With respect to the
water which he calls Lake Tanganyika, he informs
MS that ''the lower part OF II resembles the shape of
Italy," by this be means that 1t turns to the
southeast, but he does not distinctly say
that he has seen lis southeastern extremity.
Now, all the information collected from
natives during neatly three centurles-from
Lopes down to Erhardt, assures Us that Nyanza
and Nyanja the Tanganyika and Nyassa OF DR..
Livlngstone) are one and the same lake. Finally,
DR.. Livingstone tells US that he traced the great
river Lualaba running north, then west, then
south. 1t is, he says, Identical with the Chambez
which Is the Nile. Consequently, the Nile runs to
the north, west and south, where DR.. LIVINGSTONE
leaves IL. This cannot be the Nile Of Spoke or
Baker, the Nile OF Egypt II is to be hoped that
some OF those who exut In these discoveries will
have the goodness TO explain them.

Kissing a Strange Girl in
Stage Coach.

NTALTER MARSHALL, when he
w reached the age of fourteen, arrived
in New York from his native village, in the
destitute situation that is frequent among
New England boys; that is to say, had
only the usual accompaniments of these
unfiedged chips, who afterwards make the
merchant and the great men of our country,
and not unfrequently of other lands. He
had white little wooden trunk, pretty
we'll stocked with "humnsades," sixty
eight cent bible, that his mother packed in
for him, fearful that he might forget it, a
three dollar New Haven City bank bill,
and any quantity of energy, patience, per-
severance and ambition. He entered the
counting room of merchant in South
street. His honesty, activity and industry
won for him many friends. Among them
was an English merchant, who had large
commercial house in Calcutta, and branch
at Bombay. He was in this country on
business connected with his commercial
firm in Calcutta, and did his business with
the firm Walter clerked for /; and here the
latter attracted his notice. He was sixteen
years of age only; yet the Bombay gentle
man fancied him, and made him a liberal
offer to go to India with him which, after
very little palaver among his friends Walter
accepted. New England boys don't often
start off on their long wandering excur-
sions, without first getting leave of absence
for few days preparatory exercises, which
they spend in going where they origna lily
came from; and then having taken few
good looks at the weatherbeaten church,
the high old steeple, which was wonderfully
reduced in size and elevation vi nee they
first saw it, to notice it, in school-boy days;
then they must hear the old bell ring once
more, even If they have to take a spell at
the rope; then take turn among the
white grave stones, see IL there are any
very green mounds, fresh made and if SO,
to ask who among old friends have gone to
their last resting place; then to kiss mother
and sister, shake hands with father, and
the stage is at the door of the tavern, and
they are ready for start to 60 "any-
where" g.
Walter went up to do, and did do al
this; but he did not get into the stage al
the tavern. He walked down the road,
ahead of the coach, toward the old bridge
and told the stage driver to stop and lei
him get in at the minister's house--at
Parson Fuller's. Mary Fuller lived there
too, for she happened to be the parsons
only daughter. She was the merriest
iiyeliest witch that ever wore loose tresse
of auburn hair, and had blue eyes. Sh,
was only twelve years old and Walter wa
nearly seventeen. She did love him though
The was almost all in all to her he ha'

A Very Temperate Man.

A New Bedford man walked into an Of

the blunt speech, 81 neither smoke, chew

have had nothing to cat to-day" The
clerk who was just going to close up, said
to him, 81 think have seen you before"
Never was here before was the reply.
The clerk handed him twenty-five cents,
and locking up and passing into the street
moment afterward, was just in time to see
his new friend enter lager beer saloon.
He at once followed, and seeing his quarter
laid down for glass of Teutonic bitters,
grabbed it, remarling to the man, 81

fellow viewed this new method of prOhi-

For the Bloomfield Times.
Fortune does not Always Smile on
% Merit. ad

Gifted men whose deeds of glory
Shine on many classic page,
sages who have lived in story,
From the earliest to this age,
All have seen, and constantly aver it;
Fortune does not always smile on Merit.
Whom from prison Pharaoh's butler
Was again to freedom brought,
CAS- foreseen by Joseph's subtler
knowledge of his servants LOTT,
Though he did his former place inherit,
He forgot the seer's prophetic merit.
Even loyal, brave Uriah,
Who deserved his monarch's ring
For his service, had to die
Horrid DEATH because the king
Was unwilling that Uriah's merit
Should Bathsheba's loveliness inherit.
Socrates, whose worth and goodness,
Like heaven-lit beacon, shone
mid the wickedness and lewdness
To which Athens was SO prone,
Found that (though his wisdom did preferit)
Hemlock sometimes is the price of merit.
Gallieo's great invention,
Bringing myriad worlds to view,
Brought about the great contention
'Twixt him and the priests, who knew
Not enough to own real merit,
Which it was not their lot to inherit.
Sidney and Epaminondas,
Albon's and Grecia's best,
Prompt to duty to respond as
Sol to near the still-sought west,
Worthy all that valor should inherit,
Both received ingratitude for merit.
When grim terror's monarch,
With contagious midnight breath,
Sweeps the earth, as when the one ark
Rode upon the floods of Death,
If some Howard cheers dropping spirit,
Fortune here may fail to smile on Merit.
Wand'rers, destitute, tormented,
Clad in skins of goats and sheep,
Doomed to tortures, unlamented,
Earth unworthy such to keep,
May be counted worthy to inherit
Heavenly mansions, but of grace, not merit
Least desired, though first in story;
God of heaven, condemned to death;
Fullness of the Godhead's glory,
Yet of him the Scripture saith,-
The only one who had intrinsic merit,
Did neither natal-bed nor shroud inherit.
