RELIC OF LIVINGSTONE.

The Royal Geographical Society has
Just received remarkable relic from
DIR. Livingstone. When the great ex-
plorer died at Chitambo. south of Lake
Bankweolo, the natives opened his
body, removed his heart and placed IL
in a tin box. which they buried under
a large tree. An inscription was cut
on the tree, and the Royal Geographi-
cal Society sent subsidies 10 the sp-it tive
chiefs TO preserve the sanctity of the
spot. says the London Graphic.
Livingstone's body was sent to Eng
land and buried I'm Westminster Abbey.
but for more than 20 years no white
man visited the site OF the tree under
which his heart had been placed.
Some time ago reports were received
that the tree was decaying. and Mr.
Alfred sharpe, commissioner TO the
British Central Africa Protectoratc. re-
commended its Telling. This was done
and the section containing the inscrip-
tion was forwarded TO England.
All that remains OF the inscription
Is "Dr. Livingstone. MAY 4, 1873. .
"a Mniasere Uchopere."

sessions of the provincial Legislature

slim majority in the House by which
the Farquharson government CLiberal)
holds office. the opposition are placing
every possible obstruction in the way Of
their opponents. One of the members
OF the House, Mr. Birch Conservative
charges that his desk was broken open
by some one and that certain important
papers were stolen. These papers. he
said, had a bearing on the legality of
the seat now occupied by A. A. Pineau.
formerly a member OF the opposition,
but now a supporter OF the government.
The Conservatives charge that the gov
ernment was only able TO save itself
from defeat by inducing Mr.. Pineau to
support il. II Is also further charged
that Mr.. Pineau was sent to Lynn,
Mass. to remove him from the influence
OF his former party friends. and was
not recalled until his vote was needed
TO save the government. Several days
have already been occupied by the leg
islature in wrangle over the Pineau
case. Practically no public business

AUCTION SALE.


There was one feature OF Japanese
life under the feudal regime which was
favorable to the establishment and
growth of Journalism. Under the rule
of the territorial lords, freedom Of
speech was by no means tyrannically
suppressed. AS general thing these
mobiles were carefully educated from
early youth in the doctrines OF Confu-
cius and Mencius. They were surround
ed by advisers-elders OF the house as
they were called-selected from the
ablest and most experienced upon all
matters of Importance. The system was
one calculated to impress upon the no.
blemen realization of the responsible
lities of his position and due respect
for the opinions of others, says writer
in the Forum.
The duty of the political doctrines in
culcated by Confucius and Mencius did
much to make him liberal and toler-
anti for. although China was in their
day. as II is now, an absolute monarchy
the political philosophy OF the sages
named was not by any means nodded
in the same cast. On the contrary
their sayings are full of genuinely DEM
ocratic spirit. Mencius goes so far as
TO declare that dynasty could, and
should, continue so long as its line of
action was acceptable TO the will OF
heaven-that is, to the people. He said
that such wise emperofs as Yao and
Shun did not disdain the suggestions
OF peasants.
Now Ii Is curious fact that while
in China the sayings of these ancient
philosophers have been studied merely
as models of literary style. the tenden-
cy in Japan has been toward the prac-
tical application of their teachings.
Small wonder. therefore. that educa-
tion based upon such broad and liberal
doctrines should have caused japanese
feudal lords not only TO eoncede to their
elders and counselors the right freely
TO express their views, but to encour-
age the same freedom among vassals
generally. Thus In the samurai were

explains why. at the inceptian OF Jour-
