Give Credit Where Credit ts Due.
From LEGO d. Itana tseml-weekly Italian journal
Of New Yorkl.l
Mr. Stanley, the daring and fortunate envoy to
the almost inaccessible regions OF Africa, is easted
in the most arstocratic circles Of England, and his
letters are eagerly read and reproduced in every
country and in every language, including our own
Italian Some jealous and increduous persons in
the United States have attempted to throw doubt
upon the Livingstone Letters. This ID ungrateful
return for the generous enterprise OF the editor
and proprietor OF the NEW YORK HERALD,
who, at his own expense, fitted out an
expedition, while the British government,
which ought to have been the first
to send one, refused to take any steps toward the
rescue of Livingstone. Mr.. Stanley suffers In his
own country the sad fate proverbally reserved for
distinguished men, which proves once more the
truth of the Scrptural saying that "there is no
prophet in his own countrv.' These malicious
sccptcs allege that Stanley never saw Livingstone,
that he never penetrated into the country where
he says he met the famous explorer, and lastly,
that he forged all the letters and the diary sent by
Lvingtone to his family, initiating Livingstones
handwriting dot by dot, letter by letter. But the
ncredulOus cavilers have been cOnfOunded by
several letters OF Livingstone in possession Of
sundry persons by the testimony OF his family and
by that of several distinguished geographers and
other savans. all Of whom justify Mr.. Stanley and
establish beyond controversy the authenticity OF
the Livingstone letters.

RUSSIA.

Tribute to the Work OF Livingstone and
Recognition Of His Contributions to
tho Stock OF Human knowledge.
The correspondent Of the London Telegraph at
st. Petersburg writes:-It is pleasant to find the
Russian press rendering its tribute OF homage to
"the inexhaustible energy and indomitable courage
of the man who has immortalized his name In his
attempts to widen the circle Of human knowledge
and to promote the suppression Of the slave trade
in Africa" 1t Is at the same time interesting to
observe the reflections to which the discoveries
in Central Africa gave rise, especially In country
where the movements of the English are scruti-
nzed with untiring watchfulness. Speaking Of
the anticipatons OF the English press with regard
to the future Of Africa, the Moscow Gazette OBJ
serves:-"The enterprise of the English people
their advantage push their trade into the centre
Of Africa, no obstacles viii daunt them. But
If that region should be opened up to the com merce
Of the world, and its hidden treasures should
excite the cupidty OF the European, who knows
what political consequences may not be the result
First Of all the Englishman will arrive on the spot,
and will do his best to secure for himself hrm
footing; then. as natural consequence the Suez
Canal will become doubly important to England, as
the road not only to India, but to her newly-ac-
quired possession as well, and political necessity
will compel her to make that route her own. How
ever isolated the position Of England may appear
IN Europe, her pOncy VIII always possess great
this influence has always up to the present time
been conditional on the interests Of England in
India and the preservation Of her supremacy in the
Mediterranean. What changes the acquire
ment OF new empire in Africa would
effect on English policy, and what influence it
would exercise on the political system Of Europe
these are questions Of the future. But at the
present time the historical life Of nations flows on
ward with such feverish rapidity that the impos.
sible Of to-day becomes the accomplished fact OF to-
morrow, and, consequently, while there is o mo-
ment OF repose, and when public attention is
not engrOssed In the disputes and contests OF Old
Europe 1t might not be out of place for politicians
to cast thought on the future. We ourselves have
within the past three years, and who knows, per
haps, that ten years win not elapse before we find
steamers conveying travellers along the track
marked out by Livingstone to Ujiji, Unyanyembc,
Tanganyika and to the other centres, the names OF
which are still unknown to the civilized world"

age and native Of Ireland, late Of 28s Delaney
street. whose death resulted from injuries received
on the 5tb instant, by being run over, corner Of
Columbia and Stanton streets, by car So Of the
Avenue d line. The relatives OF the deceased be-
lieving that great blame rested with the driver
OF the car, they secured the services of Mr. James
M Sheehan to look after their interest The testi-
mony as to the rate OF speed at which the car went
at the time OF the accident and the time 10 took the
driver to stop the after deceased fell under the
horses was somewhat conflicting, but the jury,
after listening patiently, came to the con-
cusion that the occurrence was unavoidable,
and accordingly entered . verdict Of accidental
death.

THE vIELE ABDUCTION,
Levison Arrested in Hoboken and
Brought Up for Examination.

Brought Up for Examination.
Among the prisoners brought before Recorder
Bohnstedt at, Hobokep, yesterday, was r. Levison,
who was charged with being implicated in the
abduction of little daughter Of General viele from
Lake Mahopac, q few days ago. Captain Donovan,
who arrested him on the Hamburg steamship, saw
Mrs. viee's baggage on the vessel, but he could
find neither the mother nor the child From state
ments made to him, however, he felt satisfied that
both were on board, but were concealed by
one OF the stewards. The steamship is
now at sea, and 1t is highly probable
the child IL beyond the reach OF the United
states authorities. when Levson was asked what
nc nae to say in reply to the charge he answered
that ne would not make any statement till he
would have an opportunity OF consulting with
lawyer. He was therefore committed for examina
ton. During the afternoon the prisoner manifested
great nneaslness and inquired frequently when he
would be brought up again. T

challenge from the Columbias, OF the same city, to

One OF the most important races next week and
Of the is the single scull contest for $1,000
between Ellis Ward and John Biglin, at Nyack, on
Thursday 10th inst In this contest the respective
admirers of the prospective competitors are again
IN doubt although they back their opinions evenly.
John Bigin certainly never looked or rowed better
In his life than at the present time and Ellis and
his performances have been before the public so
brilliantly prominent that comment on his appear
ance and ability is supernuous. The steamer p. O.
Schultz has been chartered to accompany the
rOwers over the course. She will leave Franklin
street, North River, at hafpast nine A. NJ; Cedar
street, North River, at quarter past ten A. NJ. (;
Christopher street at quarter to eleven A. NJ, and
Thirty yfourth street. North River, at eleven A. NJ,
