the great explorer is well in health MIR.
Stanley, Of the Herald, was at Ugogo, Journey

his own special dispatches.
1t appears that Livingstone traversed the
north end of Tanganyika on his way from Mo

he returned TO Unyanyembe. DIR. Livingstone
refuses to leave Africa, intending, as he does, to
explore an underground path which lies between
Unyanyembe and Nyassa. 1t is affirmed, doubt
less on his authority, that the river Rush flows
into the Tanganyika, instead of flowing from il,
and hence the Tanganyika is not connected with

A NEW DANGER SIGNAL.-The Vermont and
Massachusetts railroad have just placed in
operation at Fitchburg d new danger signal, for
the purpose of showing the distance between
trains on the same track. The signal, which is
the invention of F. S. and w. A. Foster of Fitch
burg, is circle made of colored glass, rec, green
and white, upon which there are figures dis
tinctly marked from one to fifteen, each figure
being used to denote a minute. These figures
are shown through an opening of six or eight
inches in the outside covering of the glass that
can readily be seen by the engineer in the day
time, and at night the glass is illuminated by a
lantern placed inside. The signal is operated
by the train passing over the rail. As the engine
passes the signal turns back to the starting
point, from the figure showing the lapse of
time between the two trains, and remains
stationary until the last car passes, when it
commences TO reyolve, keeping time in precisely
the same manner as clock, the figures passing
the opening in regular order up to fifteen, pro-
vided that time elapses before the arrival of the
next train, when the process is repeated. If
this invention is able to fulfil all that is claimed
for it, it will be of great value to railroads in
preventing accidents aud in giving information
to engineers as to the whereabouts of the pre-
ceding train.

have 1t IN their power now, without any dis

practically TO carry the principle out, and
secure beyond doubt the perpetuation of

The motion of Gen. Banks to have an IN
veetigation into the Northern Pacific railroad
tsok everybody by surprise, for nobody sup
posed that corporation needed investigation.
Gen. Banks himself Gays in private conversa-
tion that be has no knowledge that ANYTHING
is wrong about the road. but as the CON auy
are sending out glowing advertisements to
induce people TO invest IN their bonds, and
as Congress has become in sense its in
dcrser by giving it heavy land grant, he
thinks it the duty of Congress to keep the
people informed as TO the financial soundness
of the company and the manner in which the
road is being built. The investigation may
not be gotten up as shrewd advertising
dodge On the part of the Northern Pacific
company, but its result seems likely to be a
