MISUNDERSTANDING Stories-Talk i'm
the London Clubs.
London Letter to the New York World.

London Letter to the New York World
There is some curious club talk in re.
gard to the great explorer whom Stan.
ley found, but could not bring away no
more than he could pluck up drowned
honor by the roots. 1t is conjectured
that Stanley did not tell all he knows,
or else that Livingstone did not permit
him to discover all there was to be found
out. a story is revived that was cur.
rent some years since, but which, when
it came TO light in Cleveland paper on
your side of the Atlantic, was so vigor-
ously poob-poohed that men fancied
there was no foundation for il. This
story was 10 the effect that the reason
why Livingstone did not come home
was that he was happily married in Cen
trail Africa, and could neither bring his
dear princess with him nor tear himself
away from her fascinating embraces.
This story, it will be remembered. was
said TO have been brought down 10 Zanzi-
bar by Arabs trading with Uzizi. 1t will be
remembered, m oreover, that long be fore
Kirk or any one claimed 10 have tidings
of Livingstone, either direct or indirect,
the late Sir Roderick Murchson was in
the habit of expressing himself as being
assured OF the travellers visibility, and
hooting at the notion that there was
any truth in the report of his having
been murdered.
Gossip points TO the wall.known impa-
thence OF civilization manifested by
Livingstone on his former visit-his
horror OF lionzing, his disgust with
book craft-and quotes his declaration
that it was easier 10 explore Africa than
to tell about it. There is talk of his
naturally nomadic disposition, and the
well-ascertained fact that habits of life
such as he has followed for so many
years, Joined TO II rowing spirit, become
inveterate and uncomfortable. The
quid nuncs shake their heads and tell of

Peterborough, and many other English
women and men who, crazed with
g form-sickness," have broken bounds
and fled 10 savagery for life. Living
stone, they say, expects TO come back
"some of these days" when the Ulysses
spirit is quite worn out OF him, but he
has no definite intentions to return at
any particular time, and his fixing two
years as the period of time necessary TO
complete his discoveries by the explora-
ton Of $50 miles of river was mere
subtertuge to get rid of Stanley. 1t is
further insnuated that this expatriation
of himself is an old plan; that he him

Another Collyer.COIlier Blunder.

Some week since Rev. Robert Laird
Collier, of this city, the well-known
pastor of the Church of the Messiah,
was informed by letter that he had
been selected by the Congregational
Theological Institution at Ripon, Wis,
known as Ripon College, to deliver the
anniversary address to the graduates on
commencement day. Repairing to
Ripon on the day assigned, Mr.. Collier
surprised his entertainers very much.
They had never seen him, and, indeed,
from the expression of chagrin at be-
holding the renowned gentleman, they
evidently didn't care to look upon his
face at all. The joke was out in a short
time, however. Robert Collyer, the
pastor of Unity Church, the gentleman
who made horseshoe for Cornell Uni.
versity, was the man whom they had
sent Tor. The photographed educa.
ton of the invitation committee had
been sadly neglected, and they had
sent their invitation to the wrong man.
Some say that Mr.. Collier was ''rippin {"
mad when he discovered the mistake
the committee had made, but those who
know his usual cool-headedness are in.
clined to think that he was rather glad
to slip out of the chance of addressing
an orthodox college with liberal ma.

The Filth OF the Streets and the
street Cleaning Contract.

The intolerable condition of the streets,
fraught with its fearful promise of disease in
the approaching hot weather, is q subject for
anxious consideration by every citizen of New
York. In another part of the HERALD will be
found the result of thorough examination of
the streets Of the city by our reporters which
presents an alarming array of facts
for the student Of hygiene 1t has
been conceded on all hands that appeals to
the dirt contractor are of no avail Fatted on
the spoils OF filth, that astute individual believes
in doing nothing with the broom he can posi-
bly, avoid. AS will be seen by our report, the
specifications of the street cleaning contract
are Of the laxest nature, and could not
prevent the streets from being left to
the aggregation of poisonous garbage from
last November TO a week or two ago.
In the last fortnight feeble make-beieve has
been inaugurated in the cleaning direction,
which, however, is wholly inadequate to the
work necessary to be done immediately. At
the present rate the city would be swept
through about next December. A glance at
the enormous prices paid for not doing the
work will open the eyes Of the taxpayers
Last year the receipts of the con-
tractor reached eight hundred and thirty
eight thousand dollars. 1t is alleged
that great part Of this was divided among
the magnates of the defunct ring From what
we have seen lately there seems to be de-
termination on the part of the civic govern
ment to do what they can towards having this
danger and nuisance abated but the root lies
deeper than they have yet reached. We are
convinced that It can only be achieved
through total abrogatEon Of the present
contract The street cleaning commissioners
in whom the authority is vested Gf any such
exists) to accomplish it. have duty to per-
form in this regard from which they cannot
honestly finch. 1t is said that the present
contractor is anxious to sell his contract cheap.
The citizens would be glad to get rid of him at
any cost; but if the Street Commissioners
do their duty We think that he can be got
rid of for nothing. We call on Mayor Hall to
look at the interests of the city and propose this
sweeping reform. 1t has been delayed long
enough yet we shall hail Its Accomplishment
even now with feeling of thanRulness and
pleasure which every citizen who values exist
ence would share with u.s.
