In 1868 DR.. Livingstone's son went 70

home, The first vessel to leave the Cape
was for Boston, Mass. He took passage IN
this vessel, anc arrived in Boston entlrels

offered for soldiers, and young Livingstone

This part of the story, say, Is old. lol
NAV Judge of my emotions, then, when
heard Stanley, in recent speech supple
mcnt the matter in nearly the following Ian
guage: "This large lake (pointing toa map
is Lake Lincoln. [Chcer>.l You need moi
cheer on my account Livingstone did moi
so name it TO compliment me-. He hao
named it Lincoln long before he saw mt
or ever heard of me. He told Inc that dn
ing the existence of the civil war in Amerlcs
he bad been mistakenly sympatliizcr OF tht
rebellion; but bis eyes were subsequently
opcned. TO rectify the wrong he had llnlli
tentionally done to the United States in up
holding the enemies of the Union he ha!
named that like after the nEartyred PrcS'
dent" [Chccrs.l know that when Stan
lev used those words he had never heard o
any wrong Livingstone had done to Amerlc
and knew nothing whatever of this story.
