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

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.

says.
it crery day becomes more ap

You will permit Ue to say som
thing more in your columns in rep
to the editorial of Mr. Carpenten. 1
seeks to adv.ertie. lis-bastard shet v
any sadriflo . With no object exoe
personal gain and with no characte
or.personal responsibility, he seoks t
foce his pauper into clrculation by

cowardice of the dastaid, and ti
cunning of the sneoa thief. I fool
therefore, that you publish this car,

At warmly as I wsleome the Nor

much to their abtouish ment. Theu
:iody was then removed to the work
house mortuary, where some fourteen
of the officials indentilied it as that of a
pauper who had been an inmate of the
work-house over a year, and intelli
genco of hiR death was at onoce sent
to his daughters in Manchester. 0O1o
of the sons-in-law came up to town at
onde, and recognized his father-in-law,
and the daughters followed, otl
swearing at the inquest that the body
was that of their father. They
gave him a decent burial, paid
ihe undertaker and returned home,
finding there a letter from their fat h,
or written the day before, informing
them Ito was staying with i son.o
friends in Devonshire, and in good
health. I do not think there is on
record another ease so remarkable.
The fuuny part of It is that the sons..

who, however, declines to refund.
