lie notice. The society held it's first regular
meeting in a Scho0l-house; hence the great
scholarship OF its members. It has published
several learned transactions on the treatment of
the "Nigger"-eSpecially his practical manipula-
ton, and the method of preserving him from
the evil Influences of light. This valuable
work has lately been amended by several La
bor-DoctorS, among whom that celebrated pot
pourri-boiler DR.. Rumbleford Il. l.. d. has re-
ceiyed the prize medal of this valuable organ
of civilization. The late DR.. Humbleton hon.
memberofth the "Odd FelloWsSt c." has published
several volumes containing alearned and interest
ing history OF the society, iii which the reader will
find the most ample information respecting this
most progressive institution. This learned So
ciety a~djudges three prizes, viz. The Saccba-
mum ofioinarum medal, the Dark-age medal,
and the Plant0cratic medal.
II The Sacchanum officinarum medal, presen-
ted by Sir lgnoramus LongtOp, who was a
prominent member of the society until he
could stand it no longer from want of opp0-
sition. This medal will be adjudged to the
best treatise on the ~SOciety's transactions, and
the "AViS' has the best hopes. Tho value
OF the medal Is enough to buy an estate in a
dry year.
p The Dark-age medal has been adiudeed to
a great many manipulat0rS and Wirepullers.
The members contribute out oftheir o~veftax-
ed pockets to a fund entitled A fund for
promoting the most important discovery or
useful improvement in any way made known
to the public during the last centuries in the
art of keeping people in the dark.
81 The Plantocratio medal. At "The Great
Dinner it was announced that it was the in
tention to grant a free play to certain notions,
and to establish them as a permanent insti-
tuition for the general benefit. These medals
are granted to gentlemen of the legal profess
sion who have made any recent discoveries
in pulling the wires in a satisfactory manner.
Swift says in one place: "The aristocraoy of
Venice hath admitted 50 many abuses through
the degeneracy of the mobiles, that the period
of its duration seemeth to APPROACH 1t has
often been supposed that this assertion might
be applied to the Garden of the West Indies
by substituting PIantooracy for Ariatooraoy.
but the real wise heads maintain that this
medal will save the fraternity some time yet.

petition.

AT the meeting of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society, held on The 18th uIt., at the
University of London, Sir II. G. Rawlinson
drew attention to the aboye-named subject,
observing that only three weeks had elapsed
since the matter was taken in hand, aud
be had now the pleasure to report that,
three days ago, the expedition, consisting
of Lieutenant Dawson, r. N, Lieutenant
HEM, R. N, and Mr.. Oswald Livingstone,
the son ofDr. Livingstone, set sail in the
first steamer dispatched from the Thames
to Zanzibar direct. That fact alone was
sufficient to demonstrate the earnestness of
the Royal Geographical Society, and its
thorough determination to push the expe-
dition forward. The three gentlemen en-
gagged in it have been given every assur-
ance that their undertaking would be as
sisted at home in every possible way. The
subscriptions to the fund for it's maintain
ence amounted to 95, 1000, of which up
wards Of G2,G00 was received from Lon
don alone Edinburgh had contributed
1850, and the little town of Hamilton, the
native place of DR., Livingstone, 92OO;
while the Corporation of the City of Lon
don had subscribed one hundred guineas,
and the leading commercial firms of the
city had come forward in an equally libe-
raj manner. TIE public interest had
, 1872-04-20

been awakened from the first by the pro-
posaI to send out an expedition to search
for and relieve DR.. Livingstone, and it had
nobIy responded to the appeal Of the So
ciety for support. The society had also
awaited Itself of a sum of about 9670, the
balance of a former vote of the government
for d somewhat similar enterprise. The
expenditure at present amounted to about
81, 900 for the payment OF passage money,
the supply Of instruments, and the provid-
ing Of immediate neCessarles at Zanzibar.
He had telegraphed to General fireman
here, their agent ut Alden, to forward a
communication to DR.. Kirk, directing him
to dispose Of $500 Of this 81 900 in max
ing provision for the reception of the par
ty; and it fortunately happened that the
same evening a vessel was leaving that
port for Zanzibar direct, by which the in
structions were forwarded on. A credit
Of 42, 900 would DO opened at Zanzibar
for the service of the expedition, and the
other $4,000 would be kept in reserve for
the return of the expedition after its work
should have been accomplished. Lord
Granville, on behalf Of her Majesty, had
written a lettcr to the Sultan of Zanzibar.
apprising his HighneSs of the nature and
objects of the expedition, in which the no
Bile Iofd expressed bis hope aud conviction
that his Highness would most heartily
sympathise with that object at the same
time assuring him that any assistance he
could render the expedition, either within
or beyond the limits Of his own territory,
would be gratefully accepted, and receive
the cordial acknowledgements of the Queen
and the thanks Of the whole British nation.
Another letter had been forwarded from the
Foreign Office to Dir. Kirk, our Consul
General at Zanzibar, directing him to
place the ego balance at the disposal Of
the expedition, and to render its members
all the advice aud assistance ia his power,
as we'll az from time to time TO send home
any accounts or Intelligence he might be
able to obtain OF It's progress. On taking
leave OF the three devoted and high-spirited
gentlemen who had charge Of the expedi-
ton, he took a last opportunity Of impress
sing upon them the nobility Of enterprise
in which they were about to engage, tell
ing them that the ROYAL Geographical
Society would never cease to take an in
tere8t in their welfare, aud that the Govern
ment likewise felt no less deeply for their
success. Ia fact, he did not hesitate to
convey to them his belief that they might
rest satisfied that the eyes Of the country
were upon them ; and that if they returned
in the course OF q year or 50, having re-
stored DR.. Livingstone to the nation, they
would be looked upon as national benefac-

OF RESPECT.

In Memory OF tho Late Joshua Burie.
At a regular monthly meeting OF Charleston
typographical Union, No. 4s, held on the evening
or November a0th, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
We are called upon to chronicle the death OF one
of our Oldest co.laborers In the art OF printing,
Joshua Bufie. The subject OF this tribute was
Identified with our occupation when the business
was in its inclpiency, and there are but few prln'
ters now living to bear testimony to the honor.
able position he occupied as an honest Craftsman
and upright citizen. But q bright record can
never be enaced by time, and his character has
been handed down to us of a la:er generation to
preserve and keep uutarnished. IN our inter-
course with our departed brother We have always
found him consistent in principle, courteous In
department, honest aud fearless In his dealings
with his fellow-msu. For these noble traits he
was held In high esteem by his brother printers,
and 1t Is q mournful pleasure for Us to add our
tribute to the memory Of one who has rejected
credit on his calling and on those with whom he
was associated. We therefore offer the following
resolutions as emolematic Of our SORROW:
Resolved, That in the death OF Joshua Bure
Charleston typographical Union, No. %, has ex.
perienced the loss or an ardent ana encient
member, and printers generally q warm and sin'
cere friend.
Resolved, That to his surviving relatives we
tender our heartfelt sympathy In their great
afnIctlon, and that q blank page In our minute
book be set apart and dedicated to his memory.

ALMOST a HOMICIDE.

Several white meR were collected together
In a house In State street on Thursday night,
engaged in slipping hot toddy. One OF the number
taking offence at O remark Of a colored man
standing near, seized a large cheese knife and
made a murderous thrust at the offender. The
knife, however, instead OF reaching the heart Of
its intended victim. went crashing into the ribs OF
an inofrenaive bystandef, who was looking on.
The man whe had handled the blade became
greatly alarmed, and hustled the bleeding man to
the nearest physician. The wound proved.to be- q
very slight one, and after 1t had been dressed the
two men left the physicians office, and went on
their way rejoicing.
