Death Of DR.. Livingstone.

The following account is given OF
Liyingstone's fatal illness and death f:
He had been i'll of chronic dysentery
for several months. He was well sup
piled with stores and medicines but he
had presentiment thatthe attack would
prove fatal. At first he was able TO
ride on a donkey, but soon had to be
carried. Arriving at Muilala, beyond
Lake Bemba, in the Bisa country, he
said: "Build me a hut to die in" A
hut was built by his followers. The
first day he was confined to bed, and
afterwards he suffered greatly, groaning
night and day. The third day he said
he was very cold, and requested that
more grass be put on the hut. His
followers could not speak to or 90 near
him. Kitumbo, the chief of Bisa, sent
flour and beans, and behaved well to-
wards the party. The fourth day, DR..
Livingstone was insensible, and died
about midnight. MakadhoYa, a servant,
was present DR.. Livingstone made
his last entry in his diary April 9th.
He spoke much and sadly of his home
and family. When he was first seized
by the fatal attack he told his followers
that he intended to exchange every
thing for ivory to give to them, and
then pass on to Ujiji and Zanzibar and
try to reach England The same day
on which he died his followers consulted
what to do. The Nassick boys deter
mined to preserve the remains. They
were afraid to inform the chief of the
death of the doctor The Secretary
had the body removed to another hut,
and built high fence around it to in
sure privacy. He then removed the
internal organs, placed them in tin
box and buried it inside the fence under
large tree.
Jacob Wainright cut an inscription
on the tree thus
Doctor LIVINGSTONE,
Died May 4, 1878.
and suspended it with the name of the
head man, Susa The body was pre-
served in salt and dried in the sun
twelve days.
Chief Kitumbo, on being informed of
Livingstones death, had drums beat
and guns fired as token OF respect,
and allowed the followers to remove
the body, which they placed in a coffin
of bark, and then commenced the journ-
ey to Unyanyembe, which consumed
about six months They sent party
in advance with information of all that
had occurred, addressed to Livingstones
son. The advance party were met by
Mr.. Cameron, who sent back bales OF
cloth and powder.
The body arrived at Unyanyembe
ten DAYS after the advance party, and
rested there two weeks. Messrs. Cam
eron, Murphy and Dillon also arrived
together there, the latter very i'll, his
sight gone and his mind affected. lie
afterwards committed suicide OF Hasa
kara, and was buried there.
At Unyanyembe Livingstone's re-
mains were placed in another bark case,
smaller one, done up to represent a
bale of goods so as to deceive the ma
tives, who objected to the passage of
the corpse, and was thus carried to Fan
zibar.
DR.. Livingstone's clothing, papers
and instruments accompanied the body.
When sick in bed at Unilala, DR..
Livingstone prayed much and said IL
am going home.

In 1892 Timothy Pickering was
postmaster general, at salary OF $4,000
with thousand dollar assistant and a
clerk to match. He asked permission
of Alexander Hamilton, Secretary OF
the treasury, to hire two rooms, cellar
and a servant, for the department, at a
cost to the Government not to exceed
three hundred dollars. Hamilton
thought the arrangement consistent
with The interests of the United States,
though what had to do with it would
puzzIe a modern statesman sorely,

A BRUTAL MURDER.-We learn that
horrible and outrageous murder has
recently been committed on the Blue
Ridge, in Madison county, just beyond
the Page line. From the best anthem
ticated rumors we give the following
particulars John Smith commonly
known in the locality where he lives as
"Bull John,') a notorious character,
murdered his own son one day last
week, young man of perhaps twenty
one years of age, and said to be half
idiot. The weapon used in this horrible
deed was his fathers fists pounding and
mutilating him terribly. The father,
after the murder, compelled another of
his sons to bury his dead brother under
the porch. The fact Of the murder was
communicated to an officer, who at once
proceeded with aids, to the place, and
after very formidable resistance, he
was secured and taken to the county
jan at Madison Court House. If the
facts above given are true, there is not
much doubt but what he will feel the
matter draw.-Pags Courier.

A curious case, illustrative of the
magnificent meauness of certain KINDS
of human nature, has lately come be-
fore Brooklyn, n. Y, court. Some
II years since, one VIM. Bakers, erased
a name from a will and substituted his
own, By this he fell heir to 100000
worth OF property, upon which as col
lateral he raised 100000 borrowed mo-
ney. He now refuses to pay the $780,
600, because the bill was fraudulent
brazenly admitting that he substituted
der the limitation statutes he cannot be
punished. In all court records from
earliest times we doubt whether exam
pie of meanness and criminal sharpness
equal to this can be found.

corner OF Sixth and West streets, was dedicated
with the solemn rites OF the Catholic church,
conducted by Rev. Bishop Becker. The building
was then thrown open to the public and is being
visited and admired by large numbers.
This building, which has already been fully de-
scrlbed IN these columns, is the handsomest and
most imposing Of its character in the State. II
is large, convenient, well furnished, and complete
in ali its appointments.
The chapel on the second floor, Is marvel OF
beauty and neatness. 1t is provided with q
handsome marble altar, tue brussels carpet with
in the railing, and comfortable carpets. The dsd
icatory services were conducted here, in the pres
ence of an audience which filled the room and
crowded the aisles and stairways leading thereto
The building is well worthy visit OF inspec

more than halt the persons present could gain
entrance into the yards The launch was
grandly successful, and the huge vessel glided
Of the ways, without the slightest hinderance
amid the blowing of whistles, the ringing O
bells, and the shouts OF the ssembled multi
tude. The christening ceremony was perform
ed by Miss Minnie, daughter Of John Roach
Although President Grant, was not in attend
ance, many distinguished persons from Wash
ipgton and other places, and many leading
