Francis Ross.

Francis Ross.
One OF the most brilliant and most Useful Of the
early cheap press periodicals Of Europe was the
Dublin Penny Magazine IT was published forty
years ago. It's editor was Francis Ross, young
Scotchman who had given evidence OF very con-
siderable literary ability. His body has been found
dead In Australia, under the most wretched circum-
stances.
When Ross edited the Dublin PENN Magazine
change in the ownership Of the property left him at
liberty and he went to London, where he was en-
ployed on the publications Of the Society for the
DinusIon Of Useful knowledge. He then became
literary assistant to Dr. Kitto, the author OF the
services were warmly acknowiedgeq. Io was
.ssoratnd Chronicle during it's paimiest days,
when Dr. Black was In the editorial chair.
Ross was prdcfs writer, attending the gallery
OF the House OF Commons and giving sketches of
the proceedings supplementary to the regular re-
ports. Here he acquired liking for drink which
ultimately overmastered him. lie lost his situa-
tIon and then became correspondent for the coun-
try press; but, becoming dissatisfied, he suddenly
made up his mind to join the stream then setting
wife and children with him. he landed In Geelong
about twenty years ago, and remained there some
three four years, contributing to the local press
lie never rallied. His energy was gone and lie
seemed scarcely able to make an effort to retrieve
himself. On the death Of his wife his home was
broken up. His children found situations. and he
wandered off into the bush. He was occasionally
heard OF afterwards In various country towns, in
one OF which he would remain a. month or two,
teaching or contributing to the press, and then
wander Off to some other, making In this way the
tour OF Victoria New South Wales and South Aus
tralia over and over again. His longest sojourns
appear to have been In the Beechworth and Mount
Gambler DISTRICTS Here Is the last sad record OF
one for whom career OF happiness and honor
might at one time have been confidently predicted.
We quote from the Hamilton Austraia) spectator,
OF 31st January, 1s72:-"An inquest was held last
Sunday ON the body OF an old man, ascertained by
some documents found In his pocket to be named
Ross, schoomaster recently occupied at Mr. Eiols
In tutoring that gentleman's children. The body
was found about five miles from Coleraine, on Ko-
nongwootong but In very advanced state OF de.
composition. The appearance went to show that
it must have been exposed TO the hot Winds In on
open gully, for at least two or three weeks, and
was shriveled up and black. Verdicc Found
dead. The unfortunate man had evidently retired
to the remote spot where the body was found for
the purpose OF enjoying drunken bout rs several
empty bottles were found alongside" 1t Is some
satisfaction in concluding this sad story to be In a
position to state that his children, three In number
were well cared for, and grew up respectable and
respected in their various ayocations.

Alexander NIcrileca.

The well known Edinburg character-of the
street and OF the prison-Alexander Meriees, better
known by the sobriquet Of "Sally Kelly" has just
died in the Scotch capital. OF the eightytwo years
of his life this singular person spent more than
forty in prison. and for the past half century
has been considered a pest by the police author
ties having been convicted at the Police Court $50
times. Upwards OF sixty years ago he went to
Edinburg from his native town, Musseburgi. and
commenced q career Of dissipation which con-
tnued until he entered the innrmary few weeks
since, to die. He never learned trade, but oc-
casi0nally did odd Jobs for any one who would en-
plOy him In order to supply his craving for drink.
He used to sing In High street, CanOngate, and
other frequented thoroughfares, to groups OF peo-
pie, who gave him coppers to encourage the flow or
his jokes. 1t was from one OF his favorite songs
that he acquired the s0briquet by which he was
generally known. In his sober moments, while in
Jail, he was considered very sensible person. and
was of great use in cases OF sickness, as he mani
tested unremitting kindness in attending to the
prison PATIENTS

Such is the intelligence that gives hope to the
world that the great explorer, over whose sup
posed illfate two hemispheres have deeply mourned,
is alive and we'll and the great object for which he
periled his safety has not failed. In rejoicing at
the news and waiting anxiously for Its full assu-
ming confirmation, we should be unjust to the jour-
nalistic enterprise CT America, that conceived and
carried into successful execution project so happy
in its results not only In the rescue and deverance
OF Dr. Livingstone but this contributions to scien
tfc and geographical knowledge, In we failed to
pay due honor to the HERALD for its glorious eOr t.
to this end. Honorable indeed Is IL to the United
States that, when the government OF England
shamefully refused assistance and encouragement
to an expedition planned for the rescue OF DIR.
Livingstone, its own subject, and one In whose
illusriOus successes Englishmen profess such pro-
expense, undertook and started an expedition into
&c Willis OF Africa for his deliverance.

Alfred Force, u. 8. N.

The HERALD announced just lately, In Its special
correspondence, the fact that Commander Cros-
man, U. 8. ~, of the United States surveying ex-
petition, was drowned while crossing the bar at
the mouth Of the Colorado River, near Greytown.
His boat was capsized in the surf We are now in
formed that two boats sent to his assistance from
the ship OF war Kansas met the fate, and that
Master Alfred Force and four men who went in
them were also drowned. Master Force was the
son Of DR.. Force OF Louisville KY, and graduated
from the United States Naval Academy in 1o67. His
first cruise to the East Indies, where he remained
three years, returning in the Delaware a year ago
last November He was ordered to the Kansas in the
fall of 1871 and sailed for Key West In December.
lie was great avorite with his class and Of the
officers with whom he served. He endeared him
self to all who knew him well, and his loss will be
severely felt by large circle OF friends. What
seems to aggravate the case Is that Is friends
very urgent Tor him to resign from the navy and
fattering business offers were made to induce him
to do so; but love for his profession, despite its
small emolument5, aud affection for his companions
in the service prevailed to retain him.

letter from Zanzibar to the NEW YORK HERALn
seems to set at rest all doubts as to the safety of
DIR. Livingstone. In one respect the experience Of
the iustriOus traveller Is unique. Probably no
wanderer Snce Cain was sent forth as a vagabond
over the face of the earth has been found lost and
found again, so often. The gratifying Information
comes necessarily by circuitous channel. pow
erful Arab chief who left Uji on the 18th January,
and reached the halfway station between that places
and the coast on the 5th February, brought tnior-
nation that an American gentleman, who
there seems, no doubt was Mr.. Stanley, the HERALD
correspondent, was at Jill where he had met DR..
Livingstone. The news was at once forwarded to
Zanzibar whence 1t was transmitted No letters
were sent, but this Is explained by stating that the
Arab chief who acted courier had started out for
a fight, and only worked round to Unyemwemba by
accident in the course OF his raid. This scrip OF In
formation will only nlame the public curiosity In
regard to the whereabouts OF Livingstone which IL
now reenf0Iced In the minds Of all who for en-

The HERALD OF New York, having organized
search for the great African traveller is exuting
in loud and long shouts OF triumph at the success
which has crowned its meritorious efforts. Accord
ing to the last intelligence Mr.. Stanley and the
Doctor were at Ujiji safe and well. Whether that
despatch is strictly correction it came by cir
cuitous and uncertain route-remains yet to
be decided; but as 1t was carried great part
OF the land route to Zanzibar by q faithful
slave" OF the Sheik Ben Nash, there is the more
reason for believing the good news to be true, be-
cause fiOatlng rumors the effect had previ
ously been obtaining circulation and had been an
nounced in the Royal Geographical Society OF Lon
don in letters from Dr. Kirk. But they were but
rumors. The later reports, which all must hope to
be authentic will remove the painful doubts that
have for so long been hanging the fate of tho
great traveller. The thanks OF the world at large
are due to the HERALD OF New York. for its course
I'm the matter-a course which, we need hardly say,
Is not one usually considered within the province VI
journalism.

The irrepressible HERALD man Is reported by tele-

OF the great African explorer. True, In that space
OF time you might make the circuit of half the GLOBE
and on the principle OF "many slip 'twixt cup and
lip" the Doctor might be broled, roasted or stewed,
eaten and dgested too long before this inkspasher

months tramp amounts at last to nothing, and
you may consider the ubiquitous traveller, who has
been dead and buried half score Of times, safely
baggcd at last by this Bohemian OF the press. Seri-
Ously many tales have been circulated as to the
