Livingstone.

Before the remains of DR.. Livingstone
were consigned to their resting place in
Westminster Abbey, they were sub
jected to an examination for the pur
pose of setting at rest all doubts as to
their identity. 1t was known that Liv-
ipgstone, sometime before leaving En-
gland, had suffered fracture of the
left arm, and the bone had never united.
This was relied on as the mark that
would prove or disprove the identity of
the body. On opening the package in
which the body had been placed in
Africa, it was found that the lower limbs
had been severed from the body and
turned back, reducing the length of the
package to about four feet. The alb
dominal viscera were absent, as were
those of the chest, including the heart
and lungs. The skin of the trunk from
the pelvis upward was untouched. The
features of the face could not be recog-
nized. The whole body was blackened
and shriyeled, the natural result of the
sailing and baking in the sun to which
it was subjected. The arms lay in the
ordinary way, down by the side. The
skin and tissues were so shrunken that
practiced eye could readily perceive
the mark of the fracture above alluded
to. Sir William FERGUSON, who had
charge of the examination, says
1.-The first glance at the left arm set
my mind at rest, and that, with the
further examination, made me as posi-
tive as to the identity of these remains
as that there has been among us in mod
ern times one of the greatest men OF
the human race-David Livingstone. u

CHINESE MARRIAGE LAws.-In the
mixed court at Shanghai somewhat
complicated charge of improper matri-
mony has been decided. The man was
an actor, and being found guilty, he
was sentenced to, and received, 100
blows on the ankle, and is to be sent to
his native province in Chill, while the
girl received 100 blows on the face for
maintaining pluckily that she liked her
husband, and meant to stick to him.
While he was in Jail, also, the man was
subjected to terrible torture-strung up
whole night by the thumbs, and
placed in a wooden collar which presses
on the throat.

How DICKENS CARIcATUREp HIS FAITH

How DICKENS CARIcATURED HIS FAITH
Err. --Yourreaders are doubtless all aware
for does not Mr.. Forster state it in his
"Life of Dickens ?"-that the great
novelist portrayed his own father in the
character, Micawber ; but L am not
aware that we have the origin of the
name given. / believe Dickens formed
it in this way Taking the words "My
father" he changed the f into the third
preceding letter C, the into the third
succeeding letter W, the h into the third
preceding letter e; but as he required
a consonant he took the third preceding
the e, that is b. The result is the word
Micawber; but as they required dis
guising it was changed into i, which
completely transformed the original
name into the immortal Micawber.-

A ToN.--A ton is a measure which is
not fixed and unalterable. Especially
in the coal trade it is subject to expan-
sion and contraction according to cir
cumstances. The Philadelphia Lodger
says in that region ton is sometimes
2,24e pounds, at other times 1000
pounds. In New York the poor find
that ton is only LOCO pounds.

The Roman Soldier.

Everybody has heard something of
Pompen. This small city of 10000
souls, which stood at the foot of Mount
Vesuvius, looking out on the Bay of
Naples, was overwhelmed aud buried,
together with Herculaneum and Stable,
in one day. The eruption of Vesuvius
that destroyed these towns, took place
A. ID. 70. In the course of time, or
chards, vineyards, gardens and wood
lands, covered the ground above where
these cities had once stood Even the
few learned men who knew Pompeii by
name could not point out its site. After
more than sixteen hundred years, in
1859, some ruins were noticed and in
1755 excavations were commenced. To-
day, about a third of the city has been
brought to light. The showers of
pumice-stoDe that fell upon the doomed
city were followed by streams of thick,
tenacious mud, which flowed over the
sand and ashes, and filled up all the
crannies that were left. The objects
over which this mud flowed had been
enveloped in it, as in plaster mold !;
and where these objects happened to be
human bodies, mold was left as per-
feet as if it had been prepared for cast
ing bronze statue. Some of these
cavities have been filled with LIQUID
plaster, and casts have been obtained
of several human bodies. One is that
of a man of the people, probably a COM
mon soldier. He was of almost colossal
size he lay upon his back so as to die
bravely; his clothing is very clearly de-
fined. HIS greaves are visible, and fit
closely; his sandals, the nails in the
soles distinct, are laced upon his feet
he wears an iron ring upon his finger
some of his teeth are gone; his eyes are
gone, but the mustache still remains.
Perhaps, when almost all others were
escaping, he refused to leave his post
without orders, turning a deaf ear to
the entreates Of his wife and child

NJ Should Die Tonight.
If should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid 1t in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair;
Andlaying snow-white flowers against my hair,
Would smooth 1t down with fearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress.
Poor hands, SO empty and so cold, to night
= III should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind with loving
thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought;
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said;
Errands on which the willing feet had Sped
The memory of my selfishness and pride,
My hasty words, would all be put aside,
And so | should be loved and mourned tonight.
If should die TO night,
Even hearts estranged would turn once more 10
me,
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance,
Would look upon me as of yorc perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way,
For who could war with dumb, unconscious
clay?
So might rest forgiven of all, tonight.
Oh friends, pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow,
The way is lonely, let me feel them now;
Think gently of me; am travel worn;
My faltering feet are pierced with many thorn.
Forgive oh heart estranged, forgive, plead
When dreamless rest is mine l shall not need

The efficacy of printers ink has bee

The efficacy of printers ink has been
acknowledged by all, and yet, we do not
appear to have fully conn rehendcde its
merits. One Of its latest uses is its appli-
cation to fruit and other trees, in order to
prevent the ascent of worms For several
years past it has been experimental with
for this purpose by the superintendent ofthe
Public Grounds ut Concord, Massachusetts,,
and with the very best results. 1t is said
to be far more effective than tar, as the
slightest contact with it is instant death
to the vermin. Honest printers ink has
frequently displayed similar effects when
applied to human pests.

Called Horses Shoulders.

There are few things more painful to
look at than a poor horse wincing and
banking at every root which comes against
the plow, while the plowman is slOshing
him with the line and goading him into a
passion, for his restiveness under the tor
ture of II sore shoulder.
In using new collar, it is best always
to wet it thoroughly before you put it on
the animal. A few hours use will give it
set to the peculiar formation of the shout
der, which it will always keep The same
collar should always be used for the same
horse. There is no worse practice than
shifting gear upon farm. Every horse
should have his own gear and it should
never TO be used for another, and every
laborer should be held responsible for its
condition.
Ii the shoulder should become CALLED, a
pad of cotton may be put on SO as to keep
the pressure off the sore. A little meats
foot oil applied every day will heal it up.
1t is best, however, when the first appear
ance of II bruise is noted, to apply spirits
of turpentine. But it is better still. to
prevent such mischief. We always keep
at the stable a bottle of vinegar with few
spoonsful of alum dissolved in it, and re-
quire the shoulders to be washed with it
when the horse comes in at night. If it
be inconvenient TO use this solution,
strong decoction of oak bark will answer
very good purpose. The astringent pre-
paration toughens the shoulder and pre-
vents the CALLING, and ifa little oil should
be applied when the CALLED part first APP
