"HOw I Found Livingstone in Central
Africa.3

The following letter, addressed by Mr..
Henry NJ Stanley to Messrs. Scribner,
Armstrong & Co., the well-known New
York publishers, explains itself:
GENTLEMEN: I am informed that several
books relating to the Stanley-Livingstone Ex-
pedition have been issued by various publish
ers in Chicago, Philadelphia, etc., as having
been written by me.
1 here take the earliest opportunity to de-
clare all such works, or books, to be spurious,
and wholly unauthorized. 1 have looked over
one book, printed in Chicago and can posi-
lively affirm that there is not one original line
from my pen in it that the book is composed
only of extracts from Livingstone and Ander-
sons books, and my letters which appeared in
the New York Herald. In the extracts from
my letters, which the enterprising but thor
oughly unscrupulous publishers have issued
under the form of book, 1 detect over a
hundred typographical errors, besides several
absurd blunders about African geography,
which those ignorant of Africa would naturally
have committed.
The only book that have written, and which
is genuine and original, bears the title of "How
found Livingstone in Central Africa, and is
published only by your firm, and which ls copy
righted according to law.
Hoping you will take the earliest steps to
warn the public against this fraud and encroach-
ment upon my rights, and to inform them that
there is nothing in the spurious works but a re-
hash of Livingstone's books, and my letters to
the Herald, and that the pictures are also from
Livingstone's books and from illustrated pa
pers, 1 remain yours, very truly,
HENRY M. STANLEY.

The Printers Monument to Greeley.

The compositors of the New York
Tribune held a meeting recently and
adopted the following resolutions
WHEREAS, 1t has been proposed that the
several printing offices in the United States
give one or more pounds of old type for the
purpose of making statue of Horace Greeley,
to be erected in the lot in Greenwood where
his remains are inferred; and,
WHEREAS, Type metal is specially adapted
to reproduce sharp and definite outlines, and
peculiarly fitted to speak in the mute form of
an image to those who, in after years. visit his
resting place, as it did beneath the training of
his hand and the grandeur of his brain and the
largeness of his heart; therefore,
ResolUed, That We approve of the idea of
erecting statue of Horace Greeley in Green
wood, made of type metal, which has been
cast into type and worn out in the service of
teaching the people; and further, be it
ReSotUed, That we ask of fellow-crafts-
men (many of whom, now scattered over the
country have, like ourselves, either worked
with or for him during the forty years gone
by) to set up, ON Monday, February 9, 1873,
the 62d anniversary of Mr.. Greeley's birth,
l. 600 ems, and give the receipts for the same
statue. The money to be forwarded to the
President of the New York Typographical
Union No. 6, % Duane street, New York city,
of which Union Mr.. Greeley was the first
President.
ResoEued, That the above preamble and reso
lutions be given to the press of the United
States with a request that they be printed
and circulated as widely as possible.

Purchase Of Samana Bay by American
CaDitalists.

Some months ago several business
men, of the highest standing in the
financial world, conceived the idea of
purchasing Samana Bay and Peninsula,
for which the Government attempted to
negotiate in 1867. Correspondence took
place between them and the Dominican
Government, and the prospect appearing
favorable for the realization of the de-
sign, company was formed, with the
following officers President, Alden B.
Stockwell; Vice-President, Paul n.
Spoford Treasurer, Henry Clews !;
Secretary, r. r. Hazard; Directors,
Fred. Schachardt; George M. Pullman,
@. K Garrison Oliver Ames, Samuel
G. Howe, William G. Fargo, and S. L.
M. Barlow. After several meetings held
by these gentlemen, it was resolved to
send special steamer with three COM
missioners, bearing with them the
amount of purchase money in gold, to
consummate the transaction. The
steamer Tybee was chartered for the
purpose. On the 18th of December the
convention was held by the commits
sioners representing the company,
President Baez, and the Cabinet of the
Dominican Government. After full de-
liberation satisfactory result was ar
rived at and purchase effected. The
people of San Domingo ratified the
arrangement, and treaty between the
Dominican Government was concluded,
to go into effect Jan. l, 1873. The
company is granted almost all the right
of an independent government, and will
have its own flag, police, and revenue
officers, the right to construct railroads,
charter vessels, collect taxes, ETC., etc.
Any question arising between the COM
pany and the Dominican Government,
it is stipulated, shall be referred to
some European power for arbitration.
On the treaty being completed the
Tybee sailed for Puerto Principe, from
whence the company received intelli-
gence of the satisfactory result of nego-
tiations. The capital of the company is
500, ,OOO, 900. The Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company intend to run a regular
special steamer between New York and
SamaDa Raw next month

their falling into the hands of the enemy.
There being no flag, he took what he
could find. And where does he go?"
"To find the ViUandiere."
"Precisely. He goes to find the UiUan-
diere; and the UiUandiere, to-day, if
you please, and I, the Countess of Nori-
oils. He entered my yard on a gallop.
I was on the steps, putting on my gloves
preparatory to driving out. The stable
boys, seeing a horse approach, saddled
and briIdled a hat in his mouth, and
without rider, tried to catch him but
he avoids them, and, coming straight to
the steps, he falls on his knees before
me. The men try again to catch him,
but he springs to his feet and starts off
on gallop. At the gate he stops, looks
back, and calls me"
"Calls you?"
" Yes, I assure you, calls me. l cry
out to the men to let him go, jump into
my chaise and follow him over roads not
originally intended for carriages but no
matter-I arrive, and find you"
just as Madame de Noriolis had
finished her narrative, the chaise received
fearful shock from the rear, and the
next moment we saw Brutus' head tower
ing proudly above and behind us. He
and Bob had been following close be-
n1nQ, Wnen, seeing Lue groom SeaI
vacant, he had availed himself of the
opportunity thus offered to make fur
ther exhibition to his new master of his
accomplishments. He had reared up,
and placed his fore-feet on the vacant
seat and now, with Bob clinging for
dear life to his name and the pommel of
the saddle, he was trotting along on his
hind-feet only, with all the nonchalance
in the world.
AS for Madame de Noriolis, she was
so terrified that she dropped the reins
and threw herself into my arms-dear,
adorable Madame de Noriolis !-and
rested her little head against my shoul-
der. With the left hand I caught up
the reins, and with the right supported
Madame de Noriolis. My leg hurt me
most fearfully still bore it without a
murmur, and continued to support my
lovely burden.
1t was thus that Madame de Noriolis
made her first visit to La Roche-Targe.
When she returned about midnight,
some six weeks afterward, having during
the day become Madame de La Roche
large, she said to me
"What strange thing life is, my
dear Nothing of all this would have
been but for-the trumpeter's horse. -

They were cats that evidently never saw
a French roof before /; but they were not
timid. They, without moments pause,
sounded the battle cry and went to work.
For two minutes there was good deal
of pulling around and howling; but it
was a French roof, it was new ground,
and, before they were fairly aware of it,
the earth at Lightning velocity, paving
out into the air for something to get hold

SENATOR LEWIS. -Harper's Magazine
is in error when, in an article upon
fracases in Congress thirty or forty years
ago, it alludes to Hon. Dixon III. Lewis
as being from Mississippi. Hewas long
in the House of Representatives from
Alabama, and, we believe, he died
United States Senator from that State.
He weighed 40 pounds, and was other
wise immense in his proportions. Dur
ing the great debate between Daniel
Webster and Robert Y. Hayne, in the
United States Senate in 1890, he found
himself wedged in back of the, Vice
Presidents chair, where he was nearly
suffocated for want of air,-the Senate
Chamber being crowded to excess. He
slowly made his way to the window and
cut hole in one of the great panes of
glass, and thus obtained the desired res
piration. In one sense, he was the
greatest man ever in Congress. CanciE-

Horses xersus Oxen.

A paragraph is going the rounds about
a trial of speed which lately occurred in
France between horses and oxen. The
contending teams consisted of four ami
mails, and the load was in each case ten
thousand pounds of beet-pulp. This
was to be drawn twenty-three hlometers,
or about twelve miles. The race was
apparently against time, and the four
horses won by seven minutes, time three
hours and six minutes. But then you
see the oxen can be fattened and sold to
the butcher after they are worthless for

Dietetic Hints.

Most chronic diseases, and many acute
ones, are produced at the table. As a
rule, no fluid of any kind should be
taken at the table, especially if the stom-
ach is weak. The stomach should never
be overloaded; not more than two or
three articles should be taken at one
meal no stimulants used before eating !;
tobacco arrests digestion. Milk is the
best diet for infants and children. To-
matoes with cream and sugar are healthy
and nutritious. Bread and butter is the
staff of life, and easily digested. Too
much salt irritates the stomach. Colds
are frequently produced by drinking hot
tea and exposure afterwards. Late sup
pers induce heart disease. Pastry and
cake constipate the bowels. Boiled
potatoes are not SO healthy as baked
ones. Fruits are to be eaten at break
fast and dinner. The stomach requires
much rest to be healthy; purgatiye
medicines weaken the bowels. Cheerful
conversation promotes digestion anger
prevents it.

What botherationi
No wonder we grow crusty
From such association.
Anxious parents drop in,
Merely to inquire
Why his olive branches
Do not shoot higher;
Says he wants his children
To mind their p's and q's,
And hopes their brilliant talents
Will not be abused
Spelling, reading, writing,
Putting up the young ones,
Tanning, scolding, fighting,
Spurring up the dumb ones,
Gymnast,- vocal music
- How the heart rejoices
When the singer comes
To cultivate the voices.
Institute attending,
Making out reports,
Giving object lessons,
Glass drills of all sorts;
Reading dissertations
Feeling like fool
Oh, the untold blessing
OF keeping public school.
