DIR. Livingstone Not Found-Perhaps

ED. STAR:-The presumption is gaining
ground that the letters in the y. Y. Herald pur-
porting TO be from the great explorer, DIR. Liv-
ingstone, written from the interior OF Southern
Africa, are forgeries. No corroborative evl-
dence beyond the assertion of Stanley exists
that he has ever even seen Livingstone; and the
doubts viii CHI begin W tn the auth enticity of the
Letters, VIII ich contain intrinsic evidence OF no:
icing written by Livingstone, naturally extend
To the whole pretentious story OF Stanley.
In the event OF the proved fasity OF these letters
and dispatches, the Herald, which Is an old AIDE pt
at mischief, might shield itself fIom public con-
domination on the ground of having pal Bled of a
stupendous joke on the credulIty OF its readers.
and the whole affair has so much of the grotesque
In Its bearings as to give some color to such an
explanation; but those journals which have cha
acter to loose as public purveyOrs of news and
information should be on their guard in adopting
and circulating as genuine the rather silly and
iackadasical letters that are attributed to Liy-
ingstone.
1t may be that the mystery of Livingstone
like that OF the sources of the great river In the
search of which he has disappeared from civil
lied human ken, remains undisco vered. Fur
ther researches may discover his whereabouts
or the manner OF his DEATH il no longer living
