DIR. LIVINGSTONE.
Tidlnes From the Great Explorer
through a Letter to the New
York Herald-ImpOrtant
Developments.

New YORK, July I5.-The HeTdlds
letter from Stanley gives his story
about meeting with DR.. Livingstone,
and the latter in an account of his eX-
plorations says the Chamber is the
head water of the Nile. The stories
the Doctor tells Oftwo countries through
which the great river runs read like a
fable. He tells of ivory being 50 cheap
and plentiful as to be used for door-posts; (;
of the slzillful manufacture of fine grass
cloth rivaling that of India; of a people
nearly white and extremely handsome,
whom he supposes to be descendants of
the ancient Egyptians; of copper mines
at Kattayuga which have been worked
for ages, and of "a docile and friendly
people. DIR. Livingstone and Stanley
explored the head of Lake Tangauy and
returned to Ujiji where they spent the
Christmas of 1871. Stanley says he
found Livingstone in a very destitute
condition, having been robbed and de-
spoiled by his men. He looks to be only
about fifty, and quite hale and hearty.
In March, 1872, be began to organize an
to explore a few doubtful
points, which he thinks viii take about

THE LONG-LOsT.
Has Livingstone Marrled a Princess Of
The san


World London Letter.
There Is some curious club talk ia re-
gard to the great explorer whom your
man Stanley found, but could not bring
away no more than be could pluck up
drowned honor by the roots. 1t is con-
Jectured thRt Stanley did not teil all be
knows, OF else that Livingstone did not
permit him to discover al there was TO
be found out A story is revived that
was current some yeaas since, but
which, when il came to light ina Cleve-.
land paper on yOur side the Atlantic,
was 50 vigorously pOOh-poohed that
men fancied here was no foun-
dRtion for it. Thisst0ry was to the effect
that the reason why Livingstone did not
come home was lhat he gas happily
married IN Central Africa, and could
neither bring his dear princess with him
nor tear himself away from her fasci-
mating embraces. This story, it viii be
remembered, was said 10 have been
brought down TO Zanzibar by Arabs
trading with Ujiji. 1t viii be remem-
bered, moreover, that long before Kirk
OF any one claimed TO have tidings OF
Livingstone, either direct ar indirect, the
late Sir ROderiek Murehison was IN the
habit of expressing himself as being as
-
hOOting at the notion that there was any
truth in the report Of his having been
murdered.
Gossip points to the weIl-known i'm
patience of civilization manifested By
Livingstone on his former visit-his hor-
rOr Of hOnizing, his disgust of book-craft
and quotes his declaration that it was
easier to explore Africa than TO tell
about it. There IS talk Of his naturally
nOmadic disposition aud the well nscer-
tanned fact that habits Of life such IS he
has followed for 50 many years, joined
70 a rowing spirit, become inyeterate and
uncomfortable. The quid nuncs shake
their heads and tell Of Rajah Brooke,
Hester Stanhope, Lady Ellenbor0ugh,
and many another English women and
men who, crazed with "fornl-sickness, y /
have broken bounds and fed TO
savagery for life. Livingstone,
they say, expects to come back
some Of these days" when the Ulysses
spirit Is quite worn out Of him, bat he
has no definite intentions to return at
any particular time, and his fixing two
years as the time necessary to complete
his discoveries by the exploration Of one /
hundred and eighty miles OF river was a
mere subterfuge to get rid Of Stanley. I'll
is further insinuated that this expatria- [
ton OF himself is an old plan; that be 1
himself made up the story OF his murder /
brought back BY his MakOlOlO attend |
ants, and that he has always prevented I
DR.. Kirk from getting news Of him, and /
declined to communicate with him until .
the pursuit grew so strong he could no |
longer keep his existence a secret. I I
give you this gossip for what it is worth,

CLEVELAND, July l5.-The Plain
dealer, to-day, publishes a letter from
Hon. A. G. Thurman to Colonel Spen-
Ger, Of this city, ln which Senator Thur
man says, that although be would pre-
fer that the Democrats had resolved on
a straight Democratic fight, he viii
work earnestly for the election Of Gree
ley and Brown. as Il is the win Of the
party, and believing that the welfare
of the country requires the de-
feat Of the present corrupt ad-
ministration. The nomination Of
Greeley and Brown at Baltimore, be
says, was the work of the people, the
politicians having little or nothing to do
with i. The Democratic party does not
abandon It's principles, but, believing, as
il does, that the course of the Radical
leaders threaten 70 destroy an cOnstItO-
tionai and democratic government, ft IS
bound BY its principles to overthrow
those leaders; and if it cannot do it 10
a mode It would prefer, il is but common
sense to take the next best mode.
