New Orleans and Her Interests.
fFrorn the N. o. Republican,

It must not be concluded that in-
asmucf as we have fair prospect
for railroad to the Pacific, opening
to lis the trade Of Texas and the Rio
Grande, that the commercial inter
ests Of New Or1eens are fully assured.
On the contrary, the effort to secure
these interests has scarcely begun.
Conceding the greatest possible befle-
fits to be derived from oar railroad
connections, there are other channels
of commerce Of equal Importance to
our trade. We allude to our river
and. ocean tonnage.
Our representatives to the next
Congress have a grand work before
them if they only execute it faithfully.
For this reason they should possess u
clear and comprehensive understand,
ing OF our varied and complicated
interests arising from eastern COM
meree and the agricultural demands
Of the Mississippi valley. But for
want of a proper understanding of
our necessities, the great Southern
Pacific route would have now been in
practical operation. The government
has extended it's aid to the shipbuild-
ing interests of the East, while the
steamboat enterprises Of the Missis-
sippi have been neglected, if not
practically discouraged. Taxation has
been removed. from New England fish
cries, while increased and burdensome
obligations have been laid OIL the
commerce of the Mississippi valley.
Subsidies have been granted to lines
Of steamers on the Atlantic and Pacif-
ic, while New Orleans has been left
to languish, or, at best, been left to
forward her enterprises in conflict
with hostile interests. National aid
and encouragement has been given to q
line of steamers from New York to Rio
Janeiro, which carries the produce
tions-the wheat, corn and tobacco
of the Mississippi valley by a longer
and more expensive route tp Brazil.
All this is IL positive injustice. If
our interests were properly attended
to some of these advantages might
belong to lis. AS long as other local
tiles, less entitled to consideration,
enjoy them, we, too, should seek to
acquire similar benefits. Our repre-
sentatives should, therefore, under
stand what is required Of them and
unite their energies i'll furthering
these necessary interests.

DR.. Livingstone.
[From the Overland Menthly.l

Agnin and again the century's civili-
zation questions impenetrable Sphinx,
who Itells aansalseds hess retieant 1nysr,
teries III the heart Of Tire torrid zone,
or keeps silence amid the girdled
SHOWS Of the boreal regions. Again
and again the eager explorer encdan
tiers suffering, hardship and danger, i'll
the prosecution of geographical re-
search; and we follow with fascinated
interest the pathway Of the latest dar-
ing adventurer, who has penetrated
into that mysterious region known rs
the interior of Africa. III the scorch-
ing silence Of that burning cline we
have imagined the lost traveller Liv-
ingstone wandering in labyrinth of
vegetation, rank and luxurious nav
igating unknown rivers listening to
the luring voices Of mnrky and muir
murous seas; OF pressing on, under Il
vertical s,,,l-att;lched by mildeyed
barbalians-toWard the secret sources
of the mysterious Nile. The reports
concerning him have been so conflict
ing and unreliable, that while many
supposed his boucs were whitening
in the shining silence OF the summer
land, others gave credence to the idea
that he was passing days of indolent
enjoyment and nights of voluptuous
repose in the swinging hammock, con-
| tent to loiter away years in the re-
searches which had become to him
the prominent object of existence.
Happily these speculations have been
set-at rest by letters from the cxplor-
er himself letters, as touchingin their
pathos as they are brave and deter
mined in their manliness. The au-
thenticity of these was at first ques-
toned, but confirmation of their gem
uineness has been received from reli-
able sources; and VIC rejoice in the
personal safety of the long-lost tra-
veler, whose valuable statistics prom
ise extended information regarding
that hitherto almost unknown c"nn-
try, southern central Africa. The
system of fountains conyerging into
four large rivers, though mentioned
in Herodotus, and partially spoken OF
by subsequent authors treating OF the
mysterious sources Of the Nile, had
never been systematically explored.
Livingstone seems to have followed

"A dastardly outrage, which can only
DO considered as q 1nurderous attempt
upon the life Of Horace Greeley, was
perpetrated at Sandnsky. just after
feaving the station, Mr.. Greeley
stepped into the Presidents cur, North
ern Crown, which proceeded Mr.. Gree
ley's car. The Ruby, and while lying
down, stone as large rs mans fist
was thrown with great force through
the heavy plate-glass window, and
struck p. D. Cooper, uperintendent
Of the Cleveland and Toledo division
of The Lake Shore road, just over the
eve. inflicting q severe wound. As
MIR. Cooper wore awhile hat and light
coat the scoundrel evidently mistook
him for Mr.. Greeley. The occurrenee
e.reatcd great excitement and q first
class sensation in the car.vIr'bune.
A Swiss court has had before it n
case originating from q practical joke
Of an equally daring and ridiculous
nature. A sapper, with u busly beard,
who wns returning to his native vii
lage from his military duty, stayed a
night in tho chief town of the Canton.
He was found drunk in ditch on the
roadside. Two wags passing BY, ac-
cording to the Swiss Times, took tho
drunken man first to the house of one
Of them, who owned an old monks
cowl and tonsure, shaved all the hair
or his face, and dressed him III the
habit Of q monk. They then took him
to the nearest convent and said they
had found him lying drunk on Che
road side, and had brought him there
in order to avoid the scandal which
might enane il he were found outside.
On awakening, the sapper was not n
little astonished to find himself III the
cell of d convent, with a monks cowl
on: and that he had no hair left OH
his fiace or on the crown of his head.
TO his nrotestations, the fathers re-
plied that he must be still laboring
under the effects Of drink, and advised
him to ~go to sleep once more. At
length they consented to se1rd for the
priest Of the parish where he resided,
IN order to clear up the mystery. On
the priest arriving, he recognized IN
the pseudo monk his parishioner,
whereupon he was permitted to de-
part. Means were found to discover
the two wags, and the supper, thus
extemporized into monk, rs well as
the neighborhood who were so fooled,
intend to bring All action against them.
As in religious matters the Canton Of
Friburg is very strict, and is not like
lv to see the point Of the joke, the
two wags will probably get the worst
Of it,
