The Abbey for Livingstone.

We observe that very gracious thing was
recently done by Dean Stanley. Learning
that the remains of the lamented Doctor
Livingstone were about to be brought to Eng
land he wrote to the family saying that while
it was customary for the authorities of West
minister Abbey not to offer sepulture within
its venerable walls until application had been
requested by the family and friends of the de-
ceased, yet in the case of Livingstone there
would be an exception to the rule So that
when the body of the lamented explorer is
brought home it will rest side by side with the
ashes of Engand's illustrious dead.
1t is eminently fit that this honor should
be paid to Livingstone; for while we fear that
there is no possible reason for doubling that
he is no more, his labors and life ore
fraught with lessons the world cannot
afford to lose Livingstone belonged, by
right, to an earlier race Of mortals, and to an
epoch when 'there were giants in the earth"
Not since Columbus made his renowned
voyage has mankind seen anything that
approached the dauntlessness and sagacity of
the iron-hearted explorer of Africa. The
world knows what he has done since
when, in 1910, he landed in Africa, simple
missionary of Christ, and it is needless now to
repeat the record of his brave self-denying life.
The Nile problem which 80 exercised his
mind, and to the solution of which he has set
the seal of fuality, was one which has en-
gagged the minds and fired the ambition of all
historic ages. Both Ptolemy the Great and
Ptolemy Philadelphus contemplated its solu-
ton, and Lucan ascribes to julius Caesar the
same high resolve, representing him saying at
Cleopatra's banquet -
Yet still no views have urged my arlor more
Than Niles remotest fountains to explore.
These let me know and all my tolls shall cease,
The word be sheathed and earth be blessed with
peace.
BY all means give Livingstone o resting
place in the Abbey; for few men who rest
there have done as much for the true glory of
England and the English name.
New HAMPSHIRE have news that New
Hampshire has been carried by the democrats.
In one hundred and thirty-one towns the re-
publicans have lost two thousand votes since
the last election. We do not anticipate large
majority. But still q democratic victory in
this State is An unusual and noteworthy event,
no matter how small the majority. AS Mer-
QUITO said, "'tis not so deep as a well, nor so
wide as church door; but It's enough"
New Hampshire can hardly be called
representative State, SO far as cleo
tions go, nor should we estimate the
result too highly as an evidence of public
opinion. There were many local circum-
stances in New Hampshire calculated to dis
tract and weaken the established party organi-
cations, the republican especially. But the
fact that the administration did not succeed
in rallying the party shows that in New
England it possesses diminished authority.
When we have all the details we shall be
enabled to read more clearly the lesson it

This terrible example had its effect For
the last fifty years the shantees have lived in
have never been thoroughly friendly with the
English. There have been all manner of dis
putes. Resting upon the traditions of these
early victories the Ashantee King has rather
despised his English adversary, and this con-
tempt has led from one feeling to another,
until England was compelled either to aban-
don the Gold Coast and permit the Asian
tees to impose their savage discipline upon
the Fantees and other friendly tribes, or to
resent the course of the King and compel
obedience by an act Of terrible retribution.
To this end an English invading column-we
can scarcely call it an army-entered the
Ashantee country some months ago with the
intention of invading the capital of the
King and enforcing upon him some
extreme evidence of power, like the
burning Of the summer palace in Pekin.
The result has been watched with varying
interest by English and Americans. 1t was
not pleasant to think of white men mourning
the dangers Of malaria and ruthless savage
war to impose British dominion upon can
nibal tribes in Africa. The memory of the
Ashantee successes in the early part of
the century led to an unusual feeling
of anxiety as to what would be the result
of the war, and, as q consequence, this
enterprise, undertaken by the English unwill-
ingly, has been source of anxiety from the
beginning. few days ago there was ru-
NOR in London to the effect that the English
Commander and his troops had been butchered
1t was not difficult to believe such a rumor
because, as we have shown, a similar fate befell
Sir Charles McCarty fifty years ago, and, con-
sequentiy, there was unusual anxiety on the
part Of the people, even going to the extent
of public PRAYERS being offered in Enolish

THE SITUATION In BROOKLYN.

While there were really no new developments
worthy OF cnr0nicllng in the Beecber-TIlton scan
dal case yesterday. speculation was rife upon every
side as to what day or two may bring forth. The
people generally side with the pastor OF Plymouth
and freely assert that he has got decidedly the
best OF the case but there exists strong and un-
mistakable desire for more. There those who
are anxious hear the rebuttal testimony, should
there be any forthcoming, before the committee
