I.4ul Du.laillu, the nted travel. er, says : Thero is a bouautiful counl try far away towardsth- icy north. It i3 a glorious lantid, with snowy, bold and magnificient mountains ; deep, tia-row and delightful valleys ; bleak plateaux and slopes ; wild: ravines; clear and piotureaque lakes ; imimense .forestsof white birch and fir tiees; gigantic and superb glaciers,. u.n rivaled in size by any in Europe. It is of this country I comte to tell you. The rivers of this. country in their hurried flights from the hights above to the valleys below, tunmble down as if fr.orq ja V 'in gigantic water. falls and easadel, so beautiful, so lovely, so white aqd chaste, so match les in their beant4 that the beholder never tiree of looKing upon themua. I have told you of the leading features of the country, topogrphically con. sidered ; let me now say a few words about the people. their mode of living, their oode of morality. I have been an extensive traveler, but never in all my experitnce have I met with such an honest and simple class of people as the inhabitants of Nor way, Sweden and .Lspland. Thieir faith in human nature i. something incredible, and their honeaty exceeds all bounds, Often have I left my money behind me in a farm-house, and as ofteh have I been followed on the road by miy late host with the treasure I forgot ink ,his domicile. They scorn to. take. any reward for doing wfhat they consider their duty, andasoften asI have offered them rewards they ha ' been rejected. They are a very r igious people and a very demooratio coplo., Of their religious simplicitj, volumes could be written. They fare for the most part, in fact all, Protest ants or Luth. erans. They bmtry,. their dqad, in graveyards around the churches, and if a man dies 200 miles away, his body kiust be brought to the grave yard and ,interred. A stauger can tell the condition of altmot any lad'y he meets. Those that are engaged to be married have one plain gold ring ; those whe are married wear two, and.those vhut have a familly wear three. When a man's wife dies inflis.northern cline, the hus band and his friends havo a three day's jollification. About their democratio ideAs 0 ..Unot give you a better no tio.n than by mentioning the ftict. that I sought an interview with the King, and was accorde~l the same. Before 1 was five mi.wikkes in the royal presence, I waA asked to smIaoke a cigar, and at sepa rating was aoked to C..lI again, which I did. When I returned I had to look for the King~ myself, there being io . guards . or servants arouam{ the house. I found hitn putting on -his coat upstairs, having just put the finishing touch on one of his pictures. A few words about the midnight sun. 1, witntssed this grand phenomenon while ,t and ing on Cape 1ur h, the mot north eru extretnity of Europe. T0he sun, instead of setting as it does here, and, running a course fron east to west, keeps going around in a circle, the lower pyriplhery of which is .ist on the bo01 ion. Wlien it makes the lower curves it is partially ob1cured, but it rises again and describes cir cles in the air for nearly t wo and a half ,months. it tbena groes.naya but total darkness does not ca .uc, Ior thme mootp, the stars and4 the northern lf'ghts illumine the land.

Dr. David Livingstone. A cable, dispatch from London, January 26r annioueso the .death in Africa of the great Scottish explorer of that continent, Dr. Ihvid Living stone. This evlebrated traveler and uuthor wa@ - borm near Glasge4 'in 1815. A son of poor -parents,-.he was placed in a cotton factory at ton yeats o' age,.and in the intervals of his daily labor.'pursued an eatcLidud course of sell-instruction. In Wi 19h year he conceived the idea -of going to Chiia as a medical mission ary, With which objeot 1w attended lnottires on medicine and divinity at the University of Glasgow, and was admitted a licentiate of the faculty ef physicians of that city. The breaking out of waR betWeen Great Britain and Obina frustrated hi intentions, and lie turned his atten - tion to sourtbern Africa, embarking in 1840 for Cape Town. From tbence he prooe.dod..to the, interior learning languages and customs anl perfoituing missionary duty. He started on his first exploring expedi tion in June, 1849. lie returned. ,to England in 1856, having r-avcled over not less than 11,000 miles of Ufrican territory, and by his astro nomical observations had determined the sites of )laces, hills, rivers and lakes, nearly all of which had been till then unknown, as well as do. scribed the physical featares, oli muatology, and geological structure of the countries he had explored, and pointed oUt many new sources of commerce. Ie also propounded his views on the question of African civilization by recommendibg.-.th I growth of cotton upon .an extenhiie scale in the interior of thatoontinent, and thecopening up of commercial relations between 14ngl9a aid the o.u.th African tribes as likely to put an end to the slave trade. In March 1858, hq,returued tio Afria' i.agaAn visited England in July,. 1894,ton quitted it finaliy in April, 1864. in conJ3quence of rumors of his be ing killed, expeditions have been at various times sent froma England in search of him. It is fresh , in the Rublie mind that Mr. Stanley, a INew York Herald corresgopldent, who bad joined one those expeditions, became im-patient of its slow movements, separated from the expedition, and in the summer of 1879 found him at Uj ji, in the African interior. When Stanley left him he was determined to proceed with his cxplorationsi.and not to returd home till he hai com pleted the great work of ascertaining the source of the Nie. His vabt labors, conmliining till the researches qud.results of his fellow explorers into a harmoniou whole, having won a brilliant and lasting reputation for his name. So many report@. how over, havp been..roceiyed from time to time of the death of this - traveler ihat there would be some incredulity in regard to the present dispatch, but foy the fact that the details now given sect to warrant the conclqsion tnat the sad story, repeated so ...many times heretofore is at last true, and that the great explorer has finally met his fate, at the mnoment, too, when it was most doirable that hil. life should be sparod. Indecbledness of Southern Planters. The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer says. it crery day becomes more ap parent that etir zhercihants will have to "carry''the farmers of our trading area through the coming spring and summer, if for no other r'ason than to secure th'e amnonnts due fur previous years. For the past three years the plantera have pitched their crops and operated their farms with a vipw-to makQ" hecavy cotten yields, lb the hopeg ogt gt,irng. but of debt, but in consbq uce of unfavorab'. seasons and the ravages of wormes, showt crops and short prices, they An thlotna seves further in debt than they were three years ago, and with conse qJuently he.s ability to pny now thay ihen., Therefore it is evident that unless the .mehants again statnd by them, many of them will be forcad to abandon their farmisag operations, andl the merchanmts fiust inevita'bmly ilde hundreds of thousatnd of dollars nlow past due. With judicious crop ping, favorable seasons and .rigisj economy the. coming,.year, perhaps mpcny of those nowv ready to sink way rise to the surface andl once mocre be enabled to hold Aheir beads above the water. But while we have thus in dienuted the duty of merchant., farm ers have also a duty to perform, and that ip to a6.me forward, effect the vest settlements they can, and effer. the strongest possible shawing for fu ture promptness. These two cleases are mutually. ,dlppndent upon each other, antd la. behooves .ese to, statbd by the other to tho.far thes~ extent of ability. We know our merchapts well enough to believe that they will continue to extend needful fadihities. to those who will wnalto,an honest. ef. fort to settle or comprotnise.; but the farmer, large or smnall. ,who shIrks the line of plain duty, .will undoubt edly-have a Uhard road to weed" the an'nirna'ahino saaon.
