A Fatal FLY.-One of the most ex-
traordinary facts revealed to us by DR..
Livingstone's explorations in Africa is
that the high table land of the interior,
with its rich agricultural resources, its
noble flora, its fine temperature, broad
inland seas, and inexhaustible stores of
mineral wealth, is rendered all but i'm
penetrable to civilized man, certainly be-
yond all hope of colonization, by one of
the most apparently Insignificant of
causes, fly. This terrible insect is a
little brown, yellow-striped fly called
the tsetze, scarcely larger than our COM
mon household pests, but whose sting is
absolutely fatal. So deadly is its poison
that it is said three or four flies will kill

The Democratic Candidate.

The Baltimore Convention was not
disposed to leave any room for doubt as
TO its position being truly democratic. 1t
was not willing to content itself with ac-
cepting as an alternative, not to be easily
disposed of otherwise, the action of
Cincinnati. AS the Democratic party is
required to furnish the votes that are to
give dignity to the ticket, it was deemed
best to send it forth as a Democratic
ticket, so declared by a formal ballot.
Greeley and Brown are therefore to be
known as the Democratic nominees,

maintain its organization and something
OF self respect, the convention chose to
