More Work for stanley.

From the New York Jewish Messenger, Sept. 81
While not withholding our need Of admiratiou
ut the distinguished success of the HERALD expedi-
ton in search OF the newly-found Livingstone and
our unstinted praise for the pluck OF the adven-
tur0us reporter and the liberaty Of his enterprise
ing employer, we respectfully suggest a new field
for Stanley, wherein his success will make the ma
tons his everlasting debtors.
The lost Livingstone has been found and restored
to civilization. Mr.. Bennett deems himself welE
recompensed for his large outlay Of cash and nearly
as expensive investment Of patience and menta1
worry We propose q new work which has BEEN
tried for centuries-a problem whose solution has
puzzled hosts OF philosophers and historians, anon

The lost tribes OF Israeli
The ten lost tribes who disappeared about twen>
ty-fve centuries ago. and who have since kept q
studious silence concerning their whereabouts.

who are now spread over the habitable globe, and

Ruthless that every writer or scientist or note has
dwelt upon the theme and has come to the sad COM

min OF Tudea and second BENJAMIN have travel%
led over nearly the whole world and have met mo-
traces OF these lost children of Israeli that people
knew where Livingstone was, but they did not
where on earth these tribes can be, and much less
knows how to get at them. This is sheer nonsense.

give him ten days to consider, reject or accept

Now all doubts are to be solved. Stanley will.
soon start on this second HERALD expedition, and
we do not grudge Mr.. Bennett the glory and the
profit resulting from the idea which the JetclSh
Messenger thus modestly breaches.

Long Island Hoosier, calling himself Noe, has
made himself through the columns Of the Sun,
famous, or, rather, infamous. He published in that
journal couple OF letters which he received from
q friend because he thought the handwriting re-
sembed that of the letter forwarded to Mr.. Ben
nett, OF the HERALD, by Mr.. Stanley.
We have carefully examined these letters and I'M

We reiterate our unqualified confidence In the
