rs DIR. LIVINGSTONE DEAL

rs DIR. LIVINGSTONE DEAD?
A correspondent ofthe New York Graph
&c makes the following review of DR.. Liv-
ingstone's travels and the report of his death,
winding up with a prediction which all mea
will pray may be verified:
81 do not believe that DR.. Livingstone is
dead The dispatch says that he died while
on the way from Lake Bembe to I'm 7anyem-
be. Now, Lake Bembe is situated south of
Tanganyika, and was the first of the chain
Of lakes discovered by Livingstone in 1866
CT, after leaving Lake Nyassa en- his way
north. When Stanley me, him at Ujiji he
tad explored the entire chain of lakes con-
nected with Lake Bembe as far north as the
latitude Of Uj'ji, and was about to go west
ward from the latter place to complete his
exploration. Now the dispatch requires US
to believe three very improbable things:
sFirst. That Livingstone, without any
conceivable notion, had travelled from Ujij
back to the spot where his last journey Of
exploration practically began.
''Second. That being at Lake Bembe he
started TO reach the coast of Zanzibar, (pass-
ing through Unyanyembe,) instead of march,
ing to Lake NYassa and proceeding down the
Zambezi. In other words, he preferred a
dangerous march Of nearly one thousand
miles to Zanzibar instead of one, say, of
three hundred to Lake Nyassa, where he
could have comfortably foated down the riv-
er to the coast.
Third. That the relief expedition which
started from Zanzibar for Ujiii should have
gone SO far out Of its way as to have met
Livingstone between Lake Bembe and Uny-
anyembe.
1.-The report Of Livingstone's death will
prove false The brave old man is nov de-
scending the Congo, and I prophesy that c.
fore 1ext September he will be in Englanu.

The Washington correspondent of the
Bait. American says:-,'sIn the United
States Senate Mr. Scott introd uced resolu.
ton directing the Postmaster General to re-
port to the Senate the number of mail con-
tractors holding more than five contracts on
June 30:h last, how many contracts have
been let to sub contractors, at what prices !;
also. whether there is class of professional
bidders who seek to, gain the control of nu
merous routes and underbid bona Eide bid
ders, and whether any legislation is needed
to enable the Department to secure bona fde
contracts at the lowest price. The Comn,it-
tee on Finance were instructed to inquire
into the expediency OF abolishing the ofice
of Commissioner of Internal Revenue and
other Offices connected with that bureau and
devolvipg their duty upou other bureaus OF
the Treasury. Mr. Morton resumed his
speech on the Louisiana question, arguing
that the Kellogg Government was the only
true government Of the State, and against
the proposition to order new election
Senators Conkling and Frelinghuysen spoke
on the same subject, supporting the views OF
Mr.. Morton. Senator Stewart spoke on the
other side, and the subject was then post
poned. The general bankrupt bill was plac
ed on the calendar as the next business in
order, and the House resolution providing
for a court Of inquiry in General Towards
case was taken up and passed.

The WAiy Of the 23d, has very consid-
crate article on the State debt question. It
recognizes tive facts which should have been
considered several years ago, viz; The people
owe more than they can pay, and the State
owes more than .he can pay. Had these
stubborn truths been acknowledged Eve years
ago, aud dealt with as truths, the difficulties
which now environ US, might have been o~
vercome. The Wing states the enbarrass-
ments, but suggests no remedy. It on = says
that luxuries must be taxed, and the rich lie
made to pay. We think it will be difficult
task to fad relief in this way. Not many
Injuries are used in Virginia new-a-days.-
The tax arising from themin excess Of what
is now imposed would be very rneagre indeed,
in comparison with the demands of the State.
This matter hos to be based, and that by the
party ia power. We have been trifine with
this matter too long Stay laws and banks
rupt laws have spent their virtue. if they ev-
er had any. They have only postponed the
day of reckoning The effects of the war
are upon US, aud have to be encountered
No partizau appeals now will deude the
people. Debts. both private and public, will
have to be paid or repudiated. It cannot be
escaped, and the sooner the choice is made
the better. Every days delay, only adds to
the endorsements When the matter is
disposed of. it will be found that Virginia is
not much better off, everything considered
than some of the Southern States, about
Which SO much has been said by designing
and blatant politicians. The people have
been deluded and deceived. The day Of ad-
justment is upon them.
THE BANKRUPT BILL-The U. 8. Sen
ate was engaged on tie bankrupt bill on
Tuesday and Wednesday, as reported from
the judiciary Committee, and up to Tuesday
evening had voted down all amendments
1t was expected other amendments would he
offered on Wednesday, looking to the incor-
roration into the Senate bill, some of the
features Of Mr.. Smiths bill, as presented in
the House. The bill will doubtless be ma
tured and passed this week, or early in next
week.

Kites.

1t is great art to make good kite. 1t
should be shaped evenly so rs to balance
well. The sticks should be just strong
enough for the size of the kite without be,
ing too heavy. The paper should be of
proper strength and lightness. The four
cords that start from the four corners should
be gathered into one and attached ut just
the right point to the holding cord, so as to
ensure its proper angle against the wind.
And, all Cor rather, below all,) the tail
should be long enough and heavy enough
to balance the teetery object in the air and
make it sail like thing of lifo A tail too
heavy or too light for its length, or too short
for its weight, whichever you please, is
sure to make trouble in kite-hying. Now,
boys, whenever your kite nops and "don't
CO." you may be sure that she is wrong
in one or more of the aforementioned
points. - From PuipH, 81.

Here's verse for some of my little fell
lows to lean. / don't know that it will
do them any particular good, but I'm sure
it won't do them any harm, and it may
keep them little within bounds:
"Brutes find out where their tOlentS lie;
A bear VIII not attempt to fly;
A fOundered horse VIII oft debate
Before he tries a five-Darr'd gate
In man we see the only creature
Who, led by folly, combats nature"
I've seen some boys who, it seemed to me,
were trying to be bears, others who seemed
to fancy themselves bulldogs, and others
who appeared to fancy they were apes
but, you see, there's no getting away from
it. boys boy, and the more he acts like
a boy the better off he will be. The verse
means good deal more than this, but the
idea I've given will do to begin with. ST.

ny UNCLE PAUL
To get from the Canton of Switzerland
into Italy, travellers must 90 over n de-
preston in the Penninc chain of Alps, and
this depression or low place. is called the
Pass ofSt Bernard Its not so low, though.
How many feet arc there in n mile. Charles E?
Right $3.50 feet. Well. this pass is al
most 900 feet above the level of the sea
higher by many hundred feet than the
top of our famous Mount Washington.
The Pass of St. Bernard has long been
noted in history. Roman armies climbed
it ages ago Armies under Charlemapnc
and Barbarossa (rcad M your French his
tory and see who they wcrc) climbed it
many years later And in Nav, 1900, Ma
poleon led his troops over this rocky road
to victory. You remember that picture of

and whenever hear any one sneak of the
great soldier of France | think of him as
riding that proud horse, hrandishinp his
sword, and pointing UPWARD toward the
mountain top.
At the highest point in the Pass. on the
very edge of perpetual snow, stands the
Hospicc of st. Bernard. 1t is n sort of
monastery. but was built. and is kent nm.
to shelter travellers. Its regular inmates
are Augustinian monks Ten or twelve of
these generally remain here, never seeing
any summer all the while they stay. They
stay only few years, though, because it is
impossible for any one to live more than
that at so high an elevation. where the air
is so light.
Taking the year together. the Ilospicc is
surrounded by snow averaging seven feet
deep; and sometimes drifts accumulate to
the depth OF full forty feet. 1t is then that
travellers often miss their way. and lie down
in the Pass to perish. TO Eclp the monks
in their good work OF rcscung such, large
and very knowing dogs are kept, trained
to assist, and strong enough to render val
liable service. These dogs are of a dis

and are celebrated the world over for the
good they have done. They have saved
hundreds of lives. They can 20 where no

tured at Birmingham, England, are made
from the best steel, which is rolled into mar
row strips of the required width and thick
ness. These are then cleaned by the action
of some diluted acid, and cut by means of
punch worked by a screw press, into fiat
blank pieces of the required size. The
name of the maker is then stamped on each
pen, after which the blank is curved into
n nib, or cylinder if barrel pen is re-
quired. Up to this stage the steel is work.
cd in a soft state; the pens are now hard
ened by being heated and cooled suddenly
by immersion in oil, after which they are
tempered to required degree of elasticity
rolshed by being placed with fine sand or
other polish material in n revolving cask,
and the nib ground to fine point on u
grind stone, or emery wheel After this,
the slit is cut by chisel worked by screw
press, and the pens made ready for sale by
being colored and vanished. The man
ufacturc is chiefly carried on by aomen,
