II the HERALD desires to achieve another grand
cess In resurrecting the dead let 1t telegraph him to
come to America and unearth Stanley Matthews,
Judge StallO and their fellows who nominated
Groesbeck recently at the Filth Avenue Hotel.
Nothing has been heard from them since, and 1t Is
Hole.
Says the Philadelphia mQ,ttrer:-
There Ia no longer any room for doubt that Dr.
Livingstone has been found safe and sound in the
African forests he SO delights to explore. 1t Is
equally true that he has been interviewed by a
genuine American journalist, class which makes
no more account OF obtaining interesting informa-
ton on the banks Of the Nile than in the next
street.
The New Haven Palladium announces that Mr..
Greeley intends for a while to take a vacation, and
will not until further notice. give public exhibitions
OF his prowess as a woodchopper The performance
was becoming ridiculous.
The New Haven Palladium thinks at shows q
remarkable lack OF tact on the part Of the Tribune
to revive the memories Of the famous Andrew
Johnson Philadelphia ConventiOn-the bread and
butter convention, az that paper called 1t. 1t pub
fishes communication saying that, had Henry J.
Raymond been living, he would probably be identi-
fed with the present democratic party and sup
porting Mr.. Greeley. There Is nothing less prob

The Utica Observer unfods It's pent-up humor In
paragraph like the following:-
The NEW YORK HERALD publishes, with a good
deal OF quiet PRIDE the letters OF Its African
spondent, Stanley recounting his successful search
for DR.. Livingstone The HERALD saws Stanley is
simply immense as an explorer and DISCOVERIES II
IL suggested in this connection that 1t would be O
splendid stroke OF policy to set Stanley the track
or Grants man Badeau and the missing records Of
the War Department..
The Oswego palladium, initiates an article copied
from the NEW YORK HERALD in this way
The NEW YORK HERALD ia gradually coming
round to Greeley. The editor is showing that even
from the financial standpoint his election would be
great benefit to the country.
The same paper does not appear to be favoraby
disposed toward the American Consul General In
Egypt, five may Judge from the annexed
That remarkable parsonage, Mr. G. H. Butler, our
Consul-General at AeXandria, Egypt, has been get

somewhat notorious for his quarrelsome dIsposl.
or another. Pity the country had not mod

The Pittsburg Dispatch one Of the best conducted
papers in the "Smoky CITY," says
General N. p. Banks, t:e NEW YORK HERALD says,
Is about coming out for Greeley. When he does
''cOme out' II will be time to announce It.
General Banks seems, according to telegraphic
dispatches, to have "come out" at the other end
OF the horn. He sticks to Grant. But let Banks
speak for himself
The Salt Lake Herald tanti-Brigham Young, re-
1err1ng 10 the HERALD uespatcnes about Living
stone, says:-
Livingstone was not well when Stanley left but
determined to proceed with his explorations, and
would not return until he had discovered the sources
OF the Nile. 10 was In 1865 that the Doctor began
his present exploration II he doesn't soon discover
those sources OF the River Nile we think OF starting
an expedition OF our own. We will give him wear
longer. Probably there Is no such river. II so six
months will settle the question.
Our Salt Lake namesake might do good service
in Its proposed enterprise by hunting up the lost
tribes OF Israel or at any rate, solve some OF the
Young's diatribes.
The Albany Erening Times sums up the Catacazy-
Fish controversy In these words:--
This Ia the sum and substance OF the Fish-Cnta

gravely alluded In his annual message. The facts,

dignity OF character essential to his position and
secretary Fish TO be better adapted to the work Of
vending town gossip than that vi chief Minister of
State.
The Cumberland (Md) Daily Ne,cs says OF the
HERALD Livingstone expedition -
Stanley writes to the HERALD that Livingstone
has made discoveries In Central Africa that read
like fable. In one country he found ivory so cheap
and plentiful that IL Is used for door posts and the
people manufacture fine grass cloth rivalling that
OF India. He also reports having found people
nearly white and extremely handsome whom he
tians, and copper mines that have been worked for
ages.
