Was THE LIVINGSTONE LETTER TO THE
HERALD GENUINE We ceased sometime
ago to doubt that STANLEY, the Herald
explorer, really DID interview DR.. Lrv.
I*GsTo%E in the wilIs Of Africa. The
summary Of evidence copied into our col.
umns the other dayi from tho Philadelphia
Me0yd was, Of Itself, conclusive. Not
long since the HcraM printed Grc aimae
Of Dr. LIvISGsTOHE's letter Of thanks TO
Mr.. BENNETT. The SIM, with view Of
throwing doubts on i's gcnuincncss, rc.
produced it with Il Cir Sim2c Of one Of
STAHLEY's letters, and pro'cs4cd to sec in
the two striking resemblance. It seem.
cd TO us the points oI dissimilarily were
40 strong as 10 make ii impossible Tor the
two letters TO have been written by the
same hand, md that seems 10 be the gen.
CrHl verdict. Now the HcTaR furnishes
the most conclusive proof that the LIv,
fEGsTOSE letter is genuine. It rcproduCCs
from the London Gmphic Of August 10Th
fac Simita Of letter written by LIviSG
STONE from England to the American
Geographical Society in 1869, and another
from ZID2ibar to gentleman in England
in 1866, while on another pagc it PRINTS
the BgHSETT letter The style o. The
writing in the former ia identical with
that Of the BENNETT letter, and removes
all doubt oI iH gcnuincncss. That being
genuine, there Is no question ~ 10 The
truth Of STAELEY's story.

LAuGHrER.-It is painful to suppress laugh
ter, and more healthy to give it free vent A
"good laugh" as they say, dispels the vapors;;
initiates and oxygenates the lungs, promotes and
improves circulation, and gives helping hand
to the heart. It is medical fact that people
of cheerful disposition enjoy better health than
the taciturn.
1t may be said that cause is here conto1nded
with effect, but our disposition is created IN a
measure by ourselves, and even digestion can =,
be laughed at if our temperament Is kindly
and we are disposed to endure without I grumi-
ment, and, whatever the poet may say of sigh,
we would rather dispense with phantasy and
ask for smile. It is sunshine versus shade.

NARROW GAUGE CONVENTIONAL impor-
tant convention, composed Of all the narrow
gauge railroad companies of the United States,
Is to be held in St. Louis next June, for the
purpose of discussing the question whether
railroads of this description will answer the
purpose of roads of wider gauge, and generally
of ascertaining their cost, the expense of oper-
ating them and keeping them in repair, the
relations of their freight capacity to the de-
mands of the country, their safety and accom-,
modations as respects passenger traffic, and
what general system ought To be adopted in
their construction and management. The con-
vention, it is said, will be attentcd by the most
eminent civil engineers and railroad builders
of the country, and may perhaps result In
new departure in its railway history.

THE ARLINGTON EsTATE.-The Cincinnati
Gazette (Radical) has this manly article:
It is incredible that great nation as this is
we'll keep Mrs. Lees Arlington estate upon
such title as it now holds by, without COM
pensation. We do not object to the principle
laid down by Andrew johnson in that fort
nights believing after he came into the Presi-
Dental chair, which persuaded many weak
minded good people that Providence had re-,
moved the meek Moses in order to bring in the
stern Joshua for reign of vengeance. We
mean that we do not object to the principle
that "treason must be made odious, and trait
ors impoverished" We have nothing to say
against systematic conhscation /; but to pick
out the property of this woman alone, and lay
the strong hand on it, does not become a great
nation. Instead of making treason odlous, 1t
will make this nation contemplate.
True this is a pretense of sale for taxes but,
in the first place, this will not save the trans
action from contempt; and, in the second
place. the title is worthless for illegally, for
several reasons. If it were legal to sell this
estate for this tax, and if it were legal for the
United States to buy it in at such sale, still the
law vii, not allow great and valuable estate
of LOO acres to be sold for tax Of S92.07,
when two or three acres off one corner would
have brought the money. The fact that the
tract was bid in by the United States at $685.
500, which sum the government still holds in
its hands, shows the nature of the sale as to
this feature. Persons may make average dec
larations against the rebels to staye off refec-
tions in this affair, but an honest nation cannot
maintain the position which ours holds to this
estate. Sooner or later compensation will be
made. The sooner it is done the sooner will
the Government relieve itself from a position
which will not bear examination.

WHAT DREAM DID-The Forth Wayne
Sentinel soberly narrates the following as
fact: .. -.
A gentleman of high social position living
in this country, has son engaged IN large
mercantile house in Omaha. A few weeks ago
the father received letter from his son to the
effect that he had been robbed of s, 600 belong
ing to his employer while returning from
collecting trip through the country: The faith
er was naturally troubled by the intelligence,
and when he retired to his room for the night
he Law awake for some time thinking of the
unfortunate occurrence. At last he fell asleep,
and as it seemed to him, he was sitting by a
table in the bed chamber of - Hotel OF
Omaha, listening to the conversation of two
Young men who were recalling the particulars
of robbery in which they had just been con-
cerned, while they counted over the proceed
inrs of the same with an exultant air.
learning the number of their room, nc de-
scended the stairs, consulted the register, tix-
ing their names in memory, together with the
date under which they were written, and then
awoke. He Immediately wrote letter to his
son. requesting him to call at the - Hotel,
look at the register, and if he found the names
of John B. Wilson and James Frank inscribed
on its pages under the date of November, to
have the parties found, arrested, and charged
with the theft of the $1,000. The son followed
the directions, and from letter received by
the father yesterday we learn that the SAID
John B. Wilson and James Frank were arrested
ot the said hotel that they confessed to the
felony: that S4Sl2 of the lost money was re-
covered. and that the offenders had been sent
to the penitentiary.

- The Auburn Union says that "a lady who
had been troubled for some time with felon
on her finger, gives asimple remedy from which
she experienced great relief, and which ena-
bled her to obtain sleep for the first time in

and wear it on the finger, like q thimble, the
felon being cncased in tie fruit. Persons afilc'
ted with these painful and occasionally DANCE

H SITUATION.

There is every reason to believe that the
present government is "a liberal one and
that it intends not only to entertain liberia
views, but to exercise them for the good
of all classes, in dealing with all matters
connected with the public veal.
This belief induces TO a continuation oil
the comments on the oil obnoxious La
bour Act;' the remaining paragraphs OF
which, appear to contain in them more OF
that demoralizing principle complained OF,
than any of the foregoing ones.
The obligation to work for ones daily
support, is a duty inculcated by no less
authority than the Divine Law and that
same law also declares that, "the labourer
is worthy of his hire" And surely every
man possesses the natural right-a right
perfectly independent of the power OF any
government-to employ his strength of
body and mind, to the best advantage for
the benefit of himself and those dependent
upon him. Whenever this right is usurp-
ed by any power, the p%lainest inference
exists !; viz. that that power is despotIc
and illiberal.
But, however necessary it might have
been for the local government to support
such principles during the CALLING days of
iron-handed slavery, it is now a settled
fact, that the principles of Danish rule are
totally at variance with any thing like des-
potism or illiberality. Denmark has as
free a constitutional law as any other gov
