Rev. Edward Il. Fairbanks gave the
sixth free lecture in Summerville Tues
day evening, upon STANLEY in Africa"
illustrating his subject with the map.
The speaker must have good memory,
and been greatly interested in Stanley's
work, to have spoken an hour and a
half without notes, and quite rapidly at
that-pronouncing jaw-breaking native
African names with such apparent ease.
He followed Stanley through his ex-
plOrations of the various lakes, rivers,
and hostile tribes of Central Africa, re-
counting very infinitely the expedients
resOrted to, with all the numerous per-
plexities, hardships and sufferings ex-
perienced. Stanley is a man of great
mental resources, versatile, energetic
and of the highest bravery. 1t seems as
though he must have been inspired by
the powers from on high to have ever
dared so much, and to have come out sc
successfully. Mr.. Fairbanks was of the
opinion that there were but few cases
III history, if any, where there have beer
exhibited such marvellous powers of en-
durance, shrewdness and heroism. Hi,
whole work as an explorer is worthy o
careful study, and his aims and objects
attained of the highest COMMUNICATION
We regarded the lecture as both enter
! tanning and instructive. F.. V.P.

panied the order with very learned
and elaborate opinion, citing numerous
authorities from the different states. 1t
will be remembered that the Receivers
petitioned for half a million dollars,

almost, if not quite as earnest and i'll
defatigable explorer. He found DR.
Livingstone, whom the world account

again set out for the Ozark Continent
for the purposes of geographical re
search. He has ascertained the limit
