LIVINGSTONE LOST AGAIN The Pail
Mall Gazette of August 18th publishes a letter
from Sir Samuel Baker, dated khartoom, July
I'd, in which he says that the news of Living
stones safety received here is most cheering,
but since l wrote to Sir Roderick Munbr isoon,
the king of Uganda, NJ. Tese, TO whom l had
entrusted the search for Livingstone, sent a
message TO me at Fatiko, saying that his me n
had been TO Ujiii, and declared that Living
stone had left that place long ago for the west
SIDE OF Tanganyika, since which nothing was
known of him." The New York Herald of last
night says editorially The latest tidings from
the Livingstone relief expedition, under Lieut.
Cameron, are not very encouraging. After the
return of the Herald expedition the Royal Geo
graphical Society, embOldened by its success,
sent out Lieut. Cameron, with an effective force
and abundant supplies, TO reinforce the OLD and
iron-hearted traveller. Cameron and his party
arrived at Zanzibar on the 18th of January. IL
was OF the highest moment that they should
have at once pushed inland, crossed the swamp
belt near the coast, and planted their camp on
the high plateau before the rainy season set in.
Delay after delay was allowed TO retard their
advance, and not till May last did they get
fairly under way. II now appears that Game

Stanley, and the event has proved unpropitious

Not Much of a Caesar,

The New York Herald, in its interviewing re-
searches in regard to the Caesar" business
gives the following as the substance of a dis
cusson that took place in the presence of GEN
eral Grant himself, on the subject of a third
term. When asked what he thought of it,
'Why," said Grant, sit doesn't interest me in
the least. 1t is no business of mine to manage
the duties of the office of the President are
quite as much as one man can attend to, and
good deal more than | find agreeable. 1t is
pretty well known that reluctantly consented
to give up my commission as General, even
when the success of the republican party was
assured; but, having accepted the nomination,
l was bound to stand by il. The second nomi-
nation was equally unsought, though freely
told my friends thought the party owed me a
yindication for having imposed with the Office
the aspersions of their political enemies. l
didn't bargain for that, and thought the charges
reflected more justly upon the party for having
made the mistake. | was perfectly satisfied
what the result would be at Philadelphia, as |
was of what would follow in November. 1t was
none of my business, except to accept or de-
cline privilege | knew some of our friends
would be glad to have. Let me see, this is
August-March to August is five months and
now the newspapers are anxious to know if
am to serve third term, when the second is
hardly begun. The way Congress has treated
all my recommendations doesn't make me ap-
pear either influential or dangerous. l often
think OF Lincoln's answer to the importunate
applicants for army honors: haven't any in
huence with this administration, my friend;
you Will have to appeal to Congress- If the
newspapers want to know whether will be re-
nominated, why don't they quiz the party that
elected me?" "Why don't YOU silence this
squabble by announcing your intention TO retire
to private life at the end of the term" asked
one OF the company, jokingly. The President
promptly answered:-''NO on forget the fate of
ColfaN: VIII it not be time to refuse when the
refusal is at my diSpOsal?"

GERMAN BABIEs.-The babies Of Germany
are not allowed as large liberty as those OF
America They are, for the better part of the
first year of their earthly pilgrimage, tightly
wound up in swaddling clothes with both arms
and legs pinioned, and carried about on a pill
low especially made for the purpose. After
feathers is tied on their backs, so that when
they tumble over they have something to fall
upon. Those of the poorer classes are laid In
basket with little bag of sugar in their mouths,
and are expected TO behave themselves without
much further attention from mother or nurse.
The nurses on the streets generally carry the
babies in their arms on pillow, and they are
tied TO it with pink ribbons, lying as still and
as motionless as IL they were little mummies.
They cannot kick or use their arms, and evil

WHO MURDERED GENERAL AGRAMoNTR9
A Hired Assassin Did the WOrk.-The mystery
which ha so long surrounded the death Of
General Agramonte, the Cuban patriot has Al
last been unrayelled. 1t now turns out that he
was assassinated by a murderer employed and
paid by the Spaniards. The assassin's name Is
Zaldivar, Cuban by birth, who was left by his
father atSt. Johns College, Fordham when he
was 10 years old. In consequence of some ir-
reguarites he was removed from st. Johns
College by his guardian and sent TO a school at
Flatbush, n. Y. From this institution he was
expelled for crime which should have con-
signed him TO the state prison, after which he
visited friends and acquaintances in New York,
from whom he borrowed all the money they
would lend him. He then went TO Havana and
from that city he found means 70 reach the in
surgent army, commanded by Gen. Agramonte.
After a few months service he went and sur
rendered TO the Spanards. What became of
HIM Immediately after his surrender Is not
known. But three DAYS before Agramonte's
death he again went into the insurgent lines,
expressed sincere repentance for surrendering,
and was pardoned. Three days after Agra
monte's death he again presented himself in
Puerto Principe, where he was warmly well
coined by the Spaniards. He has since been
shipped of TO Spain with his blood money,
thirteen thousand dollars, In his pocket. 1t
was in all probability the work Of the Casino,
who on several previous occasions have raised
among themselves large sums for the assassina-
ton of President Cespedes and other leading
men Of the revolution.-BostOn Post.

The BURNED DISTRICT IN BALTIMORE
The work Of removing the tower and walls Of
the Central Presbyterian church. recently de-
stroyed by fire, is progressing as rapidly as
practicable. The work is one that entails con-
siderable danger on the laborers engaged in it.
The brick and mortar are removed peacemeal
from the top, and lowered in buckets on a wind
lass, the workmen standing on a temporary
scafoldlng erected within the tower. About
one-third of the brick work has been removed
Other portions of the burnt district are also
showing signs of the recuperative powers of the
owners OF property. In some instances COM
paratively handsome buildings, fitted up as
stores below and dwellings above, will take the
place OF the old, dilapidated structures in this
section of the city. There still remains great
amount of work TO be done before the space de-
vastated by the fire will be rebuilt, but TIE ind-
cations are that there will be no unnecessary de-
lay in the work. The debris has not, in some
cases, yet been removed, and a large force of
workmen are employed in asserting, cleaning
and removing the brick from the rubbish which
surrounds them. Many persons who had ef-
fected no insurance on their property suffered
total losses, and such are unable TO rebuild.
This property will, however, pass into other
hands, and by such be improved.-Gdzette, 2Ctk

slight wound. At the same time Mr.. King re-
celved mortal wound from Mr.. McI.eod's
pistol, the ball taking effect just above the right
nipple, ranging through the right lung, and
lodging in the back. Notwithstanding the
shock of this terrible wound, Mr.. King procured
another pistol and tired a single shot at Me
Leod while within the very shadow of death.
The ball took effect just above the left hip of
the latter, passing through the lower intestines
producing a necessarily mortal wound After
firing this last shot Mr.. KING survived but
few minutes, when death relieved his sufferings
Mr.. Mcleod lived about twenty-four hours
when he, too, died.
