The embalmed eorsc of The great
English explorer is now ON its way
home. The unconscious body of
this man will soon fiad resting
place in the aold church yard"
His heart sleeps in Africa, the field
of his tolls. Jacob Wainwright,
one of the party who was with DIR.
Livingstone At the time of his
death, and Arthur LsiDg, a British
merchant, of Zanzibar, have charge
of the precious remains. We have
gathered few items of history in
connection with his death, which
will interest our readers.
He died in the Bisa country, near
Lake Bemba, May 4th, 1878. He
had been sick with chronic dysen-
terry for some months, snd had a
premonition of bis death from the
first. But he pushed on in his ex-
plorations for awhile. regardless of
his physical illness. At length q
longing sliced him to see his family
and friends and he made ready to
start for the coast of England; but
death cut him down before he
was quite ready for his return.
After his death, his friends con-
ceived the idea of embalming his
body by removing the internal Wis
cera and covering for season the
remains with salt, and then drying
them in the sun. The body thus
preserved was put in coffin made
of bark. For six sad months this
funeral procession moved along
across African wilds towards Tn
yanyembe. The son of the de
ceased met the company at thiI
point. Here they rested a fornigh
buried one of their comrades who
had been sick, blind and deranget
for some time; and then pushed OIL
to Zanzibar.
The heart of Africa's explore

Senator Schurz is very Inundated as
an American citizen. Poor fellow,
we have tried to drop a tear or two
of the crocodile sort over him, but
find that it is n failure; and we
therefore advise him to return to
Fader land. We can manage things
without him, and for his good we
hope he will leave the country
which has so deeply Inundated him.
lie is n man of ability, and it is too
bad to humilate him by an imitation
of American greenbacks. Senator
Schurz, wipe of the dust of your
indignant feet against us. Fare
well, lovely Schurz, farewell!

Is 1T TRUE ?-If we are to be-
lieve Sanborn, and others who APP
peared on the witness stand, during
his investigation, the Secretary of
the United States treasury is very
ignorant about q vast deal of the
business which is transacted in that
Office. The public never dreamed
of the carelessness whioh runs
through the administration of that
bureau. We are told that the heads
of the office sign without reading
the papers which their subordinates
bring to them. In other words they
sign papers without knowing what
they are. Or, again, the subordi.
mates conduct the afTairs, aud the
chief officers simply siga the papers
prepared for them.
Now, everybody is intensely in
terested in this matter. The peo-
pies money is handled by these
men; and they have a right to ex-
pect the treasurer to handle their
money with as much care as he
would his own. But the replies of
the Secretary and his Assistant to
the committee go to show that they
are in perfect Ignorance of much
of the business connected with their
Office. Millions of money handled
by subordinates, without the know
ledge of tho proper officer!
We know the business is vast.
We know that the mere signing of
papers in such Office is a task. But
we also know that the Secretary
should take time TO scan the papers
which he is asked TO 81 gD. is the
peoples money he is dealing with :;
and If he is unable or unfit to at
tend to their business they have
right to demand his speedy remov-
al. There is 100 much at stake to
allow of either natural or wilful ie-
norance. A hue and cry ousht to
be raised all over the land until this
matter is remedied.

The Leavenworth saloon lords ar,

The Leavenworth saloon lords are
getting tired of the frequent visits
of the ladies; and such sweet
scented gents as Jennison and
Switzer openly insult the ladies
who visit them. We repeat what
we said some time ago, Americans
will never allow their wives and
daughters TO be insulted and mall
treated. If the saloon men begin
that kind of work they may look
ont, sudden vengeance viii be visi-
ted upon their heads. The Leaven-
worth crusaders have been very
modest, simply visiting the saloons
and engaging in some kind of re-
ligious worship, If allowed.

Theodore Tilton calls the Ply

case" because the "alleged member
charged with bearing false witness
against the PASTOR" was mot a

remarkably incorrect in its de-
scription" of his case; that it pre-
sent to "the public a perverted,
misrepresented, and distorted view
of the real case. Now if all the
parties concerned are thus dissatis-
fed with the Yirdict what will be
done2 A council, though "venera-
bic and honorable" amounts to but
very little when it has no more than

for the sake of the church interest
