came. via Bombay enu LOhuOn, that the American
expedition had been successful and that DR.. Liv-
iuustone had reached Zanzibar, alive and well. We
have long been familiar with the enterprise and
pluck Of the NEW YORK HERALD, but this discovery
OF the great African traveller places the proprietor
OF that journal among the benefactors OF geographi
cal science; a. the real explorer Of mysterious
and partially unknown continent; as the dlscoverer
OF Dr. Livingstone and the successful rival Of Great
Britain In searching for her lost traveller around
the head waters OF the Nile.

There is very little doubt that Dr. David Living
stone, the famous African explorer, is stn living.
He left England 10 1855 for thorough exploration
Of the country over which he had already travelled
more than any other man. At different times re-
ports Of his death came from Africa, and one Of
them full In its details that 1t accepted
as true. But subsequently such accounts were re-
ceived as to encourage the hope that he was still
alive.
In 1871 the NEW YORK HERALD organised an expe-
dition, at heavy expense, to 60 In search Of the
great explorer. This surpassed anything IN the
way OF o newspaper enterprise ever known h the
world before. The HERALD now publishes deA-
patch from Bombay, In India, announcing that Mr..
Stanley, the head Of the HERALD expedition, has
been heard from ana that Stanley il actually with
Livingstone at Zanzibar, on the eastern coast Of
Africa. a fA8s fess rH 8eb !. sHsef -

Just as we are going to press the gratifying news
Is flashed from Bombay that the distinguished mis-
sionary explorer, DR.. Livingstone, has been found
For over six years this adventurous and intrepid
traveller has been lost to the sight Of the civilized
world. The news Of his death has frequently been
announced but as often discredited by those most
familiar with the habits and character OF the natives
who brought the unwelcome report. But while the
civilized world has been deeply interested In the
fate Of this remarkable man, who, more than
any other, has revealed the mysteries that
enveloped the interior OF Africa, 1t was
reserved for private enterprise and munin-
cence to do what would have renected honor
on the British government some Of its scientific
bodies to have undertaken. Finding that no publ c
corporation was inclined to search for the longost
wanderer, the proprietor Of the NEW YORK HERALD,
at his own expense, sent an expedition to search
for him. This expedition, placed under the charge
OF Mr.. Stanley, one OF its correspondents who was
familiar with African travel, has, after years
search, been successful in bringing back safe and
In health the veteran missionary, whose return
win be hailed with Joy by multitudes who feared
that his life had been forfeited to his adventurous
zeal The enterprise and liberaity that could
search out and bring back this noble Christian mis-
sionary and explorer from the depths OF an unex-
plored continent are deserving the unqualified
commendation Of all ,who admire generous and
heroic conduct 9.s.sr#

The expedition sent out by the NEW YORK HERALD
In search OF Livingstone has been treated as q
myth, and the wits OF the press have had their
amusement in paragraphs descriptive of the death
In a hoc
Office Of the HERALD building and his interment in
Greenwood Cemetery. But such an expedition, for
all that, was sent out, with Mr.. Stanley, Of the
HERALD, In command. And now comes intelligence
from Zanzibar that the great traveller safe with
Mr. Stanley In January last at Uji, the place from
which he last wrote in 1857 1t would appear there
fore, that the rumor that he was detained as O
prisoner at least was not able to further prose-
cute his journey was true OF course, II Stanley
has succeeded In reaching him, 1t will not be long
before we shall have intelligence Of his arrival on
the coast and return to England. 1t will add one
more to the signal exploits Of the enterprisine

From the Bufalo Express, May ~
About . year ago the editor and proprietor OF
the NEW YORK HERALD conceived the idea Of fitting
out an expedition to penetrate the interior 01
Africa In search Of the missing man. One OF it's
LFaVeUeO
sivey In that country, was selected for the pur-
pose, and, with an ample outfit of attendants and
supplies furnished at great cost by the private
means Of Mr.. Bennett, he set out from Zanzibar on
his uncertain mission. One or two encourag-
ing reports have hitherto been received
from this correspondent and now intel
igence is reported from Bombay which
signals the entire success Of the expedition. It Ia
announced in London that q vessel has arrived at
Bombay from Zanzibar with a report that the
| HERALDs correspondent had met with DR.. Livings-
tone and that both were safe.
II this news is confirmed 1t will prove glad tidings
to the civilized world, which win offer its congratu-
latlons not only to the great explorer for his con-
tributons to science and valuable discoveries, but
to the foresight and generosity OF an American
journalist for his sefsacrincing efforts to dspe the
doubts that hung over the fate Of the African
| traveller.

In union with nearly all my schoolmates have
anxiousy followed IN spirit the daring enterprise OF
the HERALD correspondent in his successful ct
tempt to rescue DR.. Livingstone, the great African
explorer. The accounts published day after day in
your columns Of his trials his indomitable en-
durance and his final success have proved to us
far more powerful stimuant to the useful study OF
geogl Apply than the dry lectures Of our Grabbed,
though learned, professor. We have all been de.
lighted at the high and welimerited enco-
miums which the press throughout the en-
tire country has lavished on the HERALD for
with an unbroken line of fearless correspondents
whose zeal and intelligence, by the aid OF the tele
graph, In many instances outstrip time itself in
occur from the centre to the circumference OF this
neither world. But while we thus cheerfuly c0p-
tribute our mite OF praise to the HERALD f6r this
glorious achievement we protest against the
authority OF the T1tusvile editor to make 'the
whole earth province" for the sphere OF your
