portrait of Mrs John W. Mackey has not

to have been entirely imaginary, emanatins
originally from several French newspapers,
goaded on by that dyspeptic genius. the
painter himself. The picture was never q
satisfactory one to either the ladv or her
family, but, as Meissonier threatened un-
pleasant things, Mrs. Mackey deemed it
best to accept the picture, pay the price and
say no more about it. 1t vas not burned or

death has never been determined beyond all
doubt, but, it is thought to have occurred In
the early morning hours of May 4, 1873.
Susi, the favorite servant, wascalled 70 his
Ide about midnight, and giving the doctor
some desired medicine, was at the sametlme
the last to whom the great explorer spoke.
After death, Sud and Chuma, the two
faithfuiE, determined to embalm the body
In their own rude way and bear it to the
coast, and it is entirely owing to their
fidelity, that we have any knowledge OF the
last hours of Livingstone, as well as that his
valuable journals were preserved.
What strange journey that must have
beenl Miles upon miles Of wide, trackless
forest and the swe1ter1ng desert land, al
ways bearing up under that ghastly and
wearisome burdenl At nights they took
turn about in guarding it from the attacks
of wild beasts, or, worse still, revengeful
natives The news of the death of Living
stone spread with great rapidity, and al
though some of the chiefs affected sorrow,
others showed their satisfaction by open
hostility. At one place they were COM
PEELED to bury the body for time and then
steal it away during the night.
Then when the party met the relief eXpe-
dition of Lieutenant Cameron, the latter
wanted to inter the remains on the spot
where they then rested, only the strenuous
objections of Susi and his companion who
were determined on sending the body to
England preventing it. The journey was
then resumed, ending at last at Zanzibar or
rather within so miles of that place, where
the remains were taken in charge by the
English Government and, as might be ex-
peeted, the poor fellows who had borne them
SO far, were shown the cold shoulder, even
being refused passage to Zanzibar This
was the return for their fidelity, until the
matter was brought to the attention of the
Queen and Parliament and their service re-
paid with compliments and q vote of
thanks.
