His Discovery by the Herald Ex
plorer, Stanley.
The grand triumph of the New Yort
Herald expedition Of search after the
renowned DR.. Livingstone In Equato'
rial Africa is known the world over
and Is every where the subject oi
heartiest rejoicing. There can no Ion.
ger be any question about the safety Of
the great explorer. He is known to
be alive, and still hopefully following
out the great purpose Of his mission.
The story Of the discovery of the dis
coverer by an American newspaper
correspondent is full of exciting inter-
est, rivaling even the most powerfully
written romances known to the world.
The narrative Of the journey inland,
q thousand miles over desert, jungle,
jagged mountain path, and sodden
valley trail, In the midst Of brutal saw
age tribes, Is thrilling one, and can
not fail to impress the reader with the
heroisun ofthe man who led the search.
The triumphal entry of the Stanley
expedition into Ujiji, where Living
stone was found, has been briefly de-
scribed in telegraphic dispatches from
the other eide of the ocean. As the
party approached the place the pagazis
who chanced to be unladen preceded,
beating drums and blowing upon koo-
doc horns. The armed escort fired sa-
iutes every moment, keeping up a
regular Jeu de joie, and the American
flag fioated proudly over all. In the
distance lay the silver bosom Of Tan
ganyika Lake, ut the foot of the state
ly mountains in the background, and
fringed with tall trees and lovely ver-
dure. It was . wonderful relief to the
pilgrims of progress. Before them lay
the settlement or town Of Ujiji, with
its huts and houses, looking dreamily
like Q land Of rest. The astonished
natives turned out at the unwonted
display, and flocked in crowds to meet
them with deafening shouts and beat
ing Of drums, Among the advancing
throng was noticed muscular group
of turbaned Arabs. As they advanced
still nearer, one of the group, who
walked in the centre, was seen to be
differently attired from the others.
The group halted, and the word passed
back that q muzany was among them
Spurring forward the Herald com.
mander indeed saw that, strongly con.
trasting with the dusky, sunburned
Arab faces, was . hale e-looking, gray
bearded white man, wearing a navy
cap with faded gold band, and REQ
woolen jacket. 1t was trying mo
ment, wherein every emotion of hops
and fear flashed through the brain
The fatigue was forgotten In the in
tensity of the situation. The ques
tions, Was this he who had SO Ioni
been sought? or Could it be q delusiol
Of the mind? or Was the white mai
some unknown waif Of humanity
crowded the mind, bringing thei
changing kaalinSs with tham. A few
feet in front Of the group the Heral,
commander halted, dismounted, an,
advanced on foot. Preserving calm
ness Of exterior before the Arabs which
was hard to simulate, as he reache,
the group Mr.. Stanley said, "Doc.o
Livingstone, presume ?" A smil
lit up the features of the hale whit
man as he answered, Yes, that is m.
name"
The meeting was most cordial, an,
the wearied caravan, joyous at the tri
umph Of the expedition, were escorte,
by the multitude to the town. Ate
q rest and meal, in which milk
honey, and fish from Tanganyik
were new features, Livingstone tol,
his story, which is in brief as follows
In March, lS66-he informed the Her
aid explorer he started with twelv
Sepoys, nine Johanna men, and sever
liberated slaves. He travelled up tn
Rovuma River. Before they had beel
gone very long the men became fright
ened at the nature of the journey, an
the reports Of hostile tribes up tn
country they had to pass through. A
length they deserted him, and, as
cover to their cowardice in doing &C
circulated the report of his death
Livingstone proceeded on his journe
IN spite of the isolation, and afte
some difficult marching reached tn
Chambezi River, which he crossed
He found that this was not the Portu
guese Zambezi River, as had bee
conjectured, but, on the contrar,
wholly separate. He traced its cours,
and found it called, further on, tn
Lualaba. He continued his explors
tions along Its banks for 700 miles, an
has become convinced in consequence
that the Chambezi is the true sourl
} Of the Nile, and that this will make
, total length for the mystic river I
Africa Of 1900 miles. His explor,
tions also establish the fact that th
Nile is not supplied by Lake Hangar
yika. He reached within $50 of til
source. aud explored the surroundin
ground, when, finding himself will
, out supplies, he was obliged to retur
, to Ujiji. and was in state of destitl
!, tion there when met by the comman,
