Stanley on Livingstone.

Mr.. Stanley has written to the Lon
don Daily NeoCs long communication
in regard to the death of Livingstone,
in which he says:
SO 1t will come out right at last =
he was accustomed to say to me con-
tinually when any reference was made
to his returning home. By this faith
he breathed into me the strong hope
that he would live to return, until l be-
came also firm in the belief that he was
destined to receive the laurels the
Christian world was ready to shower
upon him in person.
cit is now asked what he has done
since he left England in 1866, and
whether all he has done will ever be
made known, and how much of the
knowledge thought to be gained by his
labor is lost? TO the first question /
would answer that short resume
of his discoveries, such as he gave me,
and such as 1 obtained from the study
of his map, has been already published.
To the second question / would answer
that copious record of his discoveries,
extending over a period of six years,
which brought to England on the I'd
of August. 1872, is safe in the hands
of Miss Agnes Livingstone, his eldest
daughter. This record begins from
the day he left Zanzibar in December,
1866, to the 18th of March, 1871. 1t
embraces his discoveries from the
mouth of the Rovuma river on the east
coast of Africa to the Nyassa Lake,
those made from the Nyassa Lake In
the new lands west of Nyassa, in the
districts of the Ma-Zitu, the Bobisa,
Bohemia, the Wa Marungu Cazembe
Rua, Manyuema, Waguhhah, up to
Ujiji, where he arrived on the 23d of
October, 1871. 1t also contains his
discoveries made while he journeyed
with me, from about the middle of No
vember, 1871, to the 10th of February,
1872, when we arrived at Unyanyembe.
ITO ordinary readers all this may
appear very vague, but if / tell them
that Livingstone has tramped a dis
lance of $500 miles afoot in that
period they may have q conception of
the value of the journal which now lies
in the strong room of a Glasgow bank,
and which was sealed by me on the
18th of March, 1871. They will be
prepared to appreciate the treasure
which must now, according to Living
stones instructions, see the light ; they
viii be able to judge for themselves
what Livingstone has done; of the
length of the journey the brave heart
accomplished"

The Evils of Lynch Law.

The telegraph has already related how
dying man In Colorado recently con-
fessed that he alone was guilty of out
raging and numbering a young girl in
Ohio, for which crime two innocent
men were lynched by the incensed cit
liens. The particulars of the case are
thus given by the Indianapolis Journal:
=" In june, 1872, young girl named
Mary Bell Secor, while on her way
through the woods to the house of her
sister, In Mercer county, Ohio. near the
Indiana State line, on Saturday morn
ing was assaulted, outraged and muir
dered. The discovery of the crime
caused great excitement in the neighbor-
hood, and, suspicion resting upon two
men named Mcleod and Kimball, and
young brother of the latter, the exas-
perated people, despite their protesta-
tions of innocence, wrought summary
vengeance upon them by hanging Nc
Leod and the elder Kimball-the boy
being spared through the intercession
of a brother of the murdered girl-to a
tree in the vicinity of the spot where
the crime had been committed. The
general belief was that the men were
guilty, and though the better class of
the community deplored the resort to
mob law, there were but few who did
not believe the fate which had over
taken the men was just. A few days
ago a man named Thomas Bradwell
Douglass, former resident of Mercer
county, who removed to Colorado for
the benefit of his health, which had
been undermined by consumption, died
at Denver. Half an hour before his
death he became greatly agitated, and
insisted upon the attendance of Catho-
lie priest. To the priest who came in
answer to his summons, the dying man
dictated the following confession
In this, my dying hour, and in the full hope
that by doing so will secure absolution from
my sins, make free and full confession of a
deed that has weighed upon my mind like
death-pall from the day of its commission.

dered the girl Secor, near Celina, Ohio, in the

drink, and was vertically mailman, past the

Weeks passed by. The advice of
Uncle Joshua had been strictly fol-
lowed, and the change in the shoemak-
er's prospects was indeed wonderful.
He was now spoken of as one of the
most thriving men in the village. and
many marvellous stories were told to
account for the sudden alteration IN his
affairs. 1t was generally agreed that
distant relative had besueathed to him
a legacy, which had entirely relieved
him of his pecuniary difficulties. Old
customers and new ones crowded In
upon him. They had never before re-
allied the beauty and durability of his
work. The polite butcher selected the
best pieces of meat for his inspection,
as he entered, and was totally indiffer-
ent as to the time of payment. The
dealer In leather called to inform him
that his best hides awaited his orders.
The teacher accompanied the children
home to tea, and spoke In high terms
of their improvement, pronouncing
them among her best scholars. The
dressmaker suddenly found herself free
from the great press of work, and in
friendly note expressed her desire to
oblige Mrs. Thompson in any way in her
power.
"Just as 1 expected" exclaimed
Uncle Joshua, rubbing his hands ex-
ultingly, as the grateful shoemaker
called upon him at the expiration of six
months, with the money which had been
loaned in the hour of need. Just as /
expected. A strange world They are
ready to push a man up hill if he seems
to be ascending, and just as ready to
push him down if they fancy that his
face is turned that way. In future,
neighbor Thompson, let everything
around you wear an air eff prosperity,
and you will be sure to prosper. And
with a satisfied air, Uncle Joshua
placed his money in his pocket-boo
ready to meet some other claim upon
his benevolence, willis be whom he had
thus befriended, with light steps and
cheerful countenance, returned to his
happy home.

A Catholic Bishop Sent to the Peni.
tpntiary.

The american Neil, of Rio de
Janeiro, in its issue of the oath of Feb
ruary, says:
At 10 o'clock on the morning of the
Dist the trial of the Right Rev. Bishop
of Pernambuco was resumed by the
Supreme Tribunal. His Grace was ac-
companied by the Right Rev. Bishop
of the city, and by his lordship the
Bishop of Kansas, United States, who
came to Brazil to collect donations for
the poor Catholic churches of that
State. The court was densely crowded
with people of all classes of society,
the highest spheres of the same being
fully represented. The countenance of
the accused, although dignifed in the
extreme, bore evident signs of deep
sadness. The report of the Judge Re
lator having been read, the President
addressed to His Grace the question
whether anything within the document
just read was incorrect? But His
Grace, faithful to his original answer,
"Jesus autem tdce6at," aid not reply
to the question. A long debate then
ensued about the right of the spon-
taneous defenders to address the court
in behalf of the accused. The Presi-
dent, however, firmly declared that, the
tribunal having already granted the
right, he would sustain it, requesting,
however, the spontaneous orators to be
brief, on account of the lateness of the
hour.
Senators Zacarias and Condido Men
des, who were allowed to defend the
Bishop in the quality of spontaneous
advocates, then delivered successfully
their defense in two most eloquent and
pathetic speeches, but the doom of the
poor Bishop was sealed. After the
defense the court closed its doors for a
secret session. At $40 p. M, the
doors being again opened, the President
proceeded to collect the votes of the
Supreme Judges, which stood thus
Six condemned the Bishop to four
years Imprisonment with hard labor
one to short imprisonment for the sim
pie crime of disobedience and one for
the nullity of the whole process, or for
the acquittal of the Bishop.
The Bishop of Pernambuco, there
fore, by a large majority vote of the
Supreme Court of Brazil, has been de-
clared guilty of high crime against
the laws of the Empire, and condemned
to the Penitentiary, with hard labor.

Destructive Powder.

Corrosive sublimate is disastrous to
ants. A little of it spripkled across one
of their paths in dry weather has a
most surprising effect. AS soon as one
of the ants touches the white powder it
commences to run about wildly, and to
attack any other ant it comes across.
In a couple of hours round balls of the
ants VIII be found all biting each other;
and numerous individuals will be seen
bitten completely in two, while others
have lost some of their legs or antenne
News of the commotion is carried to the
formicarium, and huge fellows, meas
uring three-quarters of an inch in
length, that only come out of the nest
during migration or an attack on the
nest of one of the working columns, are
seen stalking down with determined
air, as if they would soon right matters
As soon, however, as they have touched
the sublimate all their stateliness leaves
them they rush about their legs are
seized by some of the smaller ants al
ready affected by the poison and they
themselves begin to bite, and in short
time become the center of fresh balls of
rabid ants. The subhmate can only be
used effectively in dry weather.
