From the New Yorker Stats Zeitung, July Al
American enterprise has achieved great vic

all doubt regarding the safety Of DR.. Livingstone
but 1t has given the world the nrst tdings Of the
grand discoveries which the famous explorer has

From the Boston Advertiser, July 81
The NEW YORK HERALD seems really to have
eclipsed itself in the African enterprise. Hitherto
Its greatest achievement has been, we believe, to
beat the English government in bringing tidings of
the success Of the expedition to Abyssnia. Now. II
we are to accept the statements OF the paper 1t has
organized an army of It's own-an army with BAN
ners-and sent 1t on two years. campaign into the
wilds Of Africa. There is deal OF dramatic sehsa-

will be rejected by its rivals, who would naturally
dislike to be behOlden to 1t for reflected ustre OF

that the HERALD's expedition has found the great

deny that an important service has been rendered
to geographical science. But whatever the result
OF this novel enterprise may be, 1t is undenable
that there Is something "Amercan" In its con-

The HERALD's last great enterprise has, without
doubt, eliminated In great success the results Of

interesting dispatches from STANLEY" who at
great length details the circumstances attendant
upon the route and progress Of the HERALD expe-

Stanley has had the satisfaction Of taking the great
explorer by the hand and comparing notes with
him. the result Of their conversation being given in

reading but present many new facts to the scen,
