manner In which he applauds tho Royal So
ciety for giving Mr. Stanley dinner and
medal. ''disregarding Mr.. SANKEY'S discour-
teous treatment of ITSELF" The reviewer was
back at the foot Of the stairs again. The
Royal Society was saying to the American,
sFroceed, sir" The reviewer, as the gentle
mems gentleman, was interpreting to the
hero: you see, sir, the society is a mighty
corporation. 1t gives you q medal and
dinner up stairs, although you are an
4 American and found Livingstone. Walk
up FIRST, but bear carefully in mind that
u Is only for once, and that the society is .
mighty corporation" The manner in which
Sir Henry Rawlinson expressed the tender Of
the societys compliment was indeed in far
different spirit 1t was frank and cordial
manifestation, to which Mr. Stanley as
frankly and cordially responded. There
had been differences, but bygones were
10 be bygones. It did not need any obique
Light thrown on it, after the manner in
which the butler at gentleman's table Whites
his masters guests in the servants hall.
Like his prototype, the reviewer does not stick
st Q falsehood in eyoking the wonder Of So
ciety's French cooks, scullions and chamber
maids His statement that Mr.. Stanley event
about complaining of the society "for not
tnAicting this odious patronage on himself
has the proper Inendacious smack for an oracle
below stairs.
When it superserviceably enters the question
between Sir Henry Rawlinson and Mr. Stanley,
which has already been ''amicably settled" it
hastens to take new ground as follows:-sIt is
ridiculous to suppose that people in this
country were bound to give implicit credence
to an unauthenticated telegram from an un-
known newspaper correspondent. Posi-
ton is everything; and young
American journalist accomplishing the
rescue of sadly -neglected explorer must
have his kilograms authenticated "a curious
process) and be himself known before he can
be implicitly credited. The same young jour
when sending the news Of the foil of Magdala
and the death Of Theodorus, some few years
back, neither required his kilograms to be
marked, 'Used by the Queen and Royal Fam
ily." like patent sauce, or to be himself
personally known to every reviewer and boot
black in the United Kingdom
y In order still further to put in an unkind
word for Mr.. Stanley it alludes to the English
intrigue in Berlin touching the San Juan
arbitration, report of which reached us by
cable. as s'silly falsehood Like the Lon
don Times on the same point it does well to
conAne itself to generalities and nothing
more We have only to say that the HERALD
despatch cut the intrigue in two in whatever
! stage it then was and no matter how high
ii reached ,et a# sy.-
!. Ne can let the rest Of the reviewers TRADE
90 by, English Search Expedition, probabili-
ties for Lieutenant Dawson and all. They are
only brought in as the tail Of the reviewers
kite to make it fly better. DR.. Living
stone was rescued as q man belonging to
all the world, not as the subject Of any
body or the appanage of any society.
The suppression of the East African slave
trade has been brought nearer in time, none
but Livingstone, "dying on his feet when
met at Ujiji can tell how much, by the HERALD
expedition The vicious talk of the butler Of
The Revie,o, amid the clatter Of the dinner
plates in process Of being washed after the BAN
quet to Stanley, cannot bate one iota of these
services to science and humanity.
