THE LIFE WORK OF DAVID LIVINGSTONE.
The Columbian Book Company has just Is
sued book of 800 pages bearing the above
title, which will be sold exclusively by SUD-
scripton. The work embraces something
more than the Livingstone's wonderful expe-
riences and achievements, since 1t coutalns q
comprehensive history Of African explorations,
the Livingstone relief expeditions, etc., and
abounds in picturesque descriptions of that
almost unknown country and strange people
with their traits, customs and superstitlons.
The work contains one hundred spirited en-
cravings, useful maps and curious fac Smiles
Rev. Josiah Tyler, more than twenty years an
African missionary, has written an introduce
tion in which one gets an idea of the country
somewhat different from that popularity enter
tanned. The first chapter gives an account Oh
the continent of Africa as known to the
ancients and as now known, its climate, COM
merce, geology, population, etc. The two sue
ceeding chapters are devoted to the inhabitants
of the country. Following these is chapter
reviewing briefly all the explorations of ancient
and modern times Next comes DR.. Living
stone, his early life and earlier explorations,
followed by those of later years to the time OF
bis death. Chapters are also devoted to the
Stanley, Speke and Grant and other expedi-
tons and explorations Every chapter is full
of interest, and the reader who once begins the
book will be very 10th to leave it until the
whole $50 pages have been perused; and when
it is completed he will be dull indeed who has
failed to get better knowledge of hitherto I'M
known Africa than the nearest could obtain
dozen of years since. Mrs. A. Hooper of this
city, during the next month, will! :give our
readers an opportunity to examine this valua-
BILE work for themselves and solicit subscrlp-
tons therefor 1t is elegantly gotten up and
will be valuable acquisition to a library.

THAT substantial and successful cOmpany,the
EQUITABLE Life Assurance Society of the United
States, so favorably represented in this city by
lothian f. Clark, has just issued publications
exhibiting the actual results of its Tontlne pol
icies.
Calculations have been made showing the
experience of the past seven years, which prove
that the accumulated surplus on policies OF this
class is larger than the dividends heretofore de-
clared by any company on any plan OF lnsur-
ance on policies of the same age.
The following example exhibits the exact
condition of a policy issued July 9, 1869, at the
age of 81, and on the fifteen-year term:
Policy No. SOB, for $4,000, annual
premium, Szol.V
Total amount paid in five years, l,4OS5O

The testimony before the Congress

The testimony before the Congress
ionsl committee at Nicksburg, shows
that cclored men, woman and chill
tren were coming into Nicksburg,
some armed and some not; that they
supposed the State militia were to be
organized to protect the county OFF,
GERS from being forcibly elected from
their offices. and had no idea of at
lacking or molcsting the city or citl-
zens. The fact that women and chill
6ren were in the train of those COM
ing in, shows that they had no hostile
intent. That the White 1eaguers COM
menced firing on the crowd indiscrim-
inately. and that The colorea people al
once fed in panic; that they were
followed for over mile and merci
lessly murdered-many were sho
while lying down upon the ground
to show their submission. The test
mory further shows that many Of III
bodies of the colored people still re
main unburicd. This is very com
mon characteristic of the Sonther
people to leave dead negroes unbui
ried. The carcass of dead negr
lying upon the ground rotting. is re

Across the Bloody Chasfn.

This nation conducted for four years
rs great war as the worlds history
records. Hundreds of thousands of
patriots ranged themselves voluntarily
under the national banner, prompted
thereto by no other motive than q love
of country. Hundreds of thousands
of these men lost their lives upon the
battlcfelds, in the hospital and prisons
of the South, Their death brought
sorrow and, in many cases, penury
and want upon hundreds of thousand
more. This great war oyer-the re.
bellion conquered-not one rebel was
punished as a criminal, and no ones
property confiscated.
From time to time since the close OF
the war, traitors have duplicated their
former treason in various forms, but
for many years after the war the States
were in sort of provincial condition
while undergoing reconstruct;on, and
the presence Of U. S. officials and the
army kept rebels more within bounds,
but the year just closed, the ninth
year Otter the close of tho war, found
all the States reconstructed, and State
