course Of scli-instruction. In ha
18th year he conceived tho idea .oi

leothres Oh medicine and divinity at
the University Of Glasgow, and was
admitted licentiate of the faculty
ef physicians of that city. The
breaking out of war between Great
Britain and China Frustrated his
intentions, und he turned his attcn
tion to southern Africa, embarking
in 1910 for Cape Town. From
thence he proceeded to tho, iaterior,
learning languages and customs and
pcrfol ming missionary duty. He
started on his first exploring expedi.
ton in Juno, ls49. He returned. to
Eugland in 1856, having travelled
over not less than 1000 miles Of
african territory, and by his astro.
nomical observations had determined
the sitos Of places, hills, rivers and
lakes, nearly all of which had been
till then unknown. as we'll as de.
scribed the physical features, eli
matology, and geological structure
of the countries he had explored, and
pointed out many new sources of
commerce. lie also propoundcd bis
views Oh the question Of African
civilization by recommending the
growth of cotton upon an extensive
scale in the interior Of that continent,
and the opening up of commercial
relations between England and the
south African tribes as likely to put
an end to the slave trade. In March
1883, he .returued to Afriqa again
visited England in july. 1894, aud
quilted it finally in April, 1854.
In con. cducnce of rumors Of his bo-
ing killed, expeditions have been at
various times sont from England in
search Of him. 1t is fresh iu the
nnblic mind that Mr.. Stanley, o New
York Herald correspondent, who had
Joined one those expeditions, became
impatient of its slow movements,
seq arated from the expedition, and
in the summer of 1879 found him at
Vi j, in the African interior. When
Stanley left him he was determined
to proceed with his explorations, and
not to rcturd home till he haa com-
pleted the great work of ascertaining
the source Of the Nile. His vast
labors, combining all the researches
and results of his fellow explorers
into harmonious whole, having
won a brilliant and lasting reputation
for his name. So many reports. how
ever, have bcen.Ieoeiyed from time
to time Of the death Of this traveller
that there would be some incredulity
in regard to the present dispatch, but
for the fact that the details now
given seem to warrant tho conclusion
tnat tho sad story repeated SO many
times heretofore is ut last truo, ard
that the great explorer has finally
met his fato, Mt the moment, too,
when it was most desirable that his.
life should be spared.
