WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE
According to Livingstone two things
yet remain before the Nile sources can
be said to be discovered. First-He
| has heard OF the existenceo of four fOun-
tains, two of which give birth to river
flowing north, which is the Lualaba,
and two to a river flowing south into
inner Ethiopia, which is the Zambezi,
thus verifying the statement which the
Secretary of the Goddess Minerva. at
Sais, made to Herodotus over two
thousand years ago. He has heard of
them repeatedly, and has been several
times within a fortnights march from
them, but something always interposed
to prevent him going to see them.-

Second-Remains the link above de.

EXTRA ORDINARY STORY.
| The stories which DR.. Livingstone re-
lates of the two immense countries
| through which the great river runs read
| like fable. The most southerly is called
| Rua; the northern is called Manyema
| by the Arabs and Manuema by the ma
| tiyes, who are caunibals. He tells of
ivory being so cheap chat twenty-five
cents worth of copper will purchase a
large tusk, worth s125 at Zanzibar. He
tells of ivory being turned into door
posts and cave stanchion5 by the cam
nibals; of skillful manufactures Of fine
grass cloth, rivalling that OF India; Of a
people so nearly approaching to white
people and so SOextremely handsome that
they eclipse anything ever seen in Af-
rica, and from this fact stipposes them
to be descendants of the ancient Egyp-.
tiaHs, or of some of the lost tribes Of
Israel; he tells Of copper mines at Kat
auga which have been worked for ages.

ANorfEs EXPEDITION. Z -
After returning to Ujiji, and spending
Christmas. DR.. Livingstone started for
Unyanyembe on the 18th Of December,
last year, which was reached after fifty.
four days travel. At that place he took
possession Of the last LOT, Of goods
brought to him by a caravan which left
the sea-coa5t simultaneo eously with the
Herald expedition. -. T. -. M +. - -
LIy1sGsToNEs CONDITION AND NEEDS.
1t IS generally pposed by his friends
that Doctor Livingstone is most indus
triously attended to, that he. receives
annually, if not seni,annually, large.
supplies Of cloth, beads and neeessaries.
If the Herald account is to be relied on
the reverse is the ease. According to
the correspondent he was turned back
from his explorations when on the eve
of being terminated thoroughly by the
very men sent to him by the British
Consulate; in addition to viii h the ex-
peditiOni found him sitting. down at
Ujiji utterly destitute, robbed by the
very men sent by the British Consulate
at Zanzibar with his caravan, the expe-
dition escorting him to Unyanembe
only in time to save his last stock of
goods, which were rapidly being made
away with by the very men intrusted
by the British Consulate with the last
lot of goods. The cause is said to be
extreme apathy at Zanzibar and the
reckless character of the men intrusted
with the supplies. On parting, Stanley
turned over to him nine bales Of mixed
cloths, nine hundred and eighty pounds
of assorted beads, and three hundred
and t1fty pounds of brass wire, besides
one portable boat to cross rivers, a sup
ply of carpenters tools, revolvers, car
bines and several hundred pounds of
ammunition, -'-.'i''' - 20 DO .
~ WHAT HE ASKS FOR u fo,, s...,
The last request of Livingstone was,
if there was time before the first ship
left Zanzibar, for fifty weH-armed men
from that place, to act as soldiers and
servants fora new expedition which he
was about to organize for pid explora-
ton of a few doubtful points before re-
turning home to, declare to those, con-
cerned that he has finished his work,
