The London Times publishes the fol
lowing letter from Roderick J. Murchison:
Sin: The intelligence from the Cape of
Good Belie which has appeared in the
Times and other newspapers, that Dr.
Livingstone had arrived at. Zanziblir in
January, and had proceeded homeward,
is, I regret to state, entirely contradicted
.by information which I possess, I have
a letier from Dr. Kirk at Zanzibar, dated
the s:th opMarch last, and at that time Lo
news Whatever respecting the great
travelerihad_been received for along pe
riod.:Judging from his own letters of
December 14th, 1807, and also from tle
intelligence derived from Arahtraders, I
was at hist led to believe that he was pro
ceeding along the eastern shore of Lake
Tanganyika, and that at the place called
CAB he would meet with provisions,
'medicine and letters, which were sent
thither from Zanzibar. But this. view
can no:;longer be entertained, for Dr.
Kirk informs me that ivory traders have
recently,; arrived from the very, region in
questiou, and had heard nothing•of him.
In this_dilemma I may suggest the fol
lowing hypothetical explanation: If
Livingstone, whin at the southern end of
Lake Tanganyika, satisfied himself that,
its waters were about 1,800 feet above die ,
sea, as stated by Burton Spoke, be would
necessarily infer that could not flow
northward into the much higher equa- .
tonal lakes.
In this place he would abandon the
northern route, in which It was supposed
he might find the waters of the Tangan
yika flowing into the Albert Nyanza, of
Baker. Baying also, ascertained that the
Tanganyika was led by rivers flowing
from the , south and east, it would be evi
dent under these circumstances that this
vast bodf fresh water (800 miles in
length) must find its way to the west, and,
he would then follow the river or rivers
which issue on the west";coast of Africa.
Under this supposition he may be first
heard of from one of the Western Poitu
gese settlements, or even from those on
the Congo.
If this view be entertained, we cannot
be expected to bear of Livingstone for
sate to come, as . the distance he
would hav to traverse Is vast, and the
region unknown. •
Agaiir f this hypothesis explains why
no intelligence whatever respecting him
has been received at Zanzibar, inasmuch
as he .has been. travelling through a vast
country, the inhabitants of which have no
communication' with the eastern coast.
While, ! however, I correct the erro
neous intelligence which has just ap
pnred, beg your readers to understand
that I still'entertain a well-founded hope
that my distinguished friend—thanks to
his Iron frame and undying energy—will
issue from Africa on the same shore at
which, after a very long absence,
he re.:
appeased after his great traverse of Boutb
ern Africa. '' • •

Two Hundred Pounds Or Gold In - One
• chum
An Australia letter says: There is no
ddubt as to what has been the most im
portant andinteresting event of , the past
month. Everybody has heard again and
again of the great "welcome' nugget,
and models of it have been the centre of
attraction in international expositions.
But a greater than the "welcome" nugget
has now turned up, and has been duly
christened the "Welcome Stranger.
The story; of its discovery is extremely
interesting. Two men had been working
for a long time in a chins at Dunolly,
where a year or so ago they had found a
couple of nuggets weighing respectively
one hundred and eight and thirty-six
ounces. They had again, however, got
"dead broke;" the storekeepers bad re
fused tht•th any further credit, and they
were feeling very , badly indeed, when
one of them in following the claim by
working ,round the roots of a tree
struck something hard. with his pick im
mediately! below the surface. He had
no idea, ihowever, • what had stopped
his pick, for miner -like, he grumbled out.
"Confound it, I wish' it was it-nugget and
had brpken the pick." 'The nugget,
ivhen it was unearthed, was forma to
weigh 210,pounds troy, and on smelting,,
it yielded 2,288 ounces and ten penny
weight pure gold. It was scarcely cov
ered by the,earth, and was less than a
couple of inches 'below the •surface.
Duttolly, the ground on which this golden
monster had been found, is a very old
digging, but has never been regarded as
a that-class field. Every now andthen a
=big' nugget has been found, but whatever
gold has been obtained hius been discover
ed in pockets. The "Welcome Stranger"
is the largest nugget on 'record in. Ans.
tralian mining annals, 'and, in fact, is be
lieved to be the largest mats of gold ever
discovered. The largest nuggets pre
viously found in Australia were as fol
lows: The Welcome nugget, found at
Ballarat at a depth of 180 feet and weigh
ing 184 pounds.nine ounces; the Blanche
Barkly, found at a depth of 18 feet, at
Kingower, and weighing 145 pounds
three ounces; a nugget at Canadian gully,
Ballarat, ,weighing 184 pounds eleven
ounces, at'a depth of sixty feet; the Lady
Hotham. weighing ninety-eight pounds.
Crop, Prospects In Caliterate.
The rains which have fallen during , the;
three days just past were greatly needed'
by the late grain crops, and came In good •
time to save them from failure. The'
early planting may, now be considered
safe from all possible harm. A tea* warm
days will 'start it to , heading, and with
anything like an averne May, it will
- Mature to'a fall ,crop. The late , planting
was in danger of blight ,from the dry'
north winds that Prevailed for so many
days in the latter partig March and the
first hart cif This danger is now
over, and, we, can safely say there -was
never, at the'corresponding season of the
year, as gbod a prospect for an immense
grain harvest as is now presented In Cali
fornia. Average May showers, with
wei3terlyAvinda, will.perfect the backward

A COMPANY of Pennsylvania capitalists,
says the Clarksville (Tenn.) Pairiot, are
about closing Wcontraet for the old-Aber
nathy Imn Works, in the vicinity of
Round Pond;liboneftve - or six !tiles from
this city. A party has been prospecting
for this company throughout the iron
region of this State, and we are gratified,
eays that paper, that they have selected.
this location in preference, to. all others.
,In conversation with a gentlemaii who
was prospecting, he pronounced the:old
sites in this vicinity by far more advanta
geous that those of any akar sections_ he
had visited.
kr is STATED that a pitched battle*took
place recently •in a Methodist chapel in
Yorkshire, England. The contending
parties were the trustees of the edifice on
the one side, and the Sunday school
teachers on the other —The latter having
refused to retire from the premises when
ordered to do so by the trustees. The
projectiles used in the engagement are
fialdlp have been bibles and hymn books,
and certainly f acto more formidable war
material could be brought into play than
the former, for we read that the word is
"quick and powerful and sharper than
any two.edged swonh piercing eves to
the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the jDints and marrow."
&rice Rhode Island's Boanarge.s began
to thunder so vociferously, a good story
has cope out in relation to his marriage.
It seems that Bishop Clark was sum
moned to follow him to Washington, and
there wait his pleasure before tying the
matrimonial kliot.• Finally, the great
event was consummated, and without re
ceiving any fee the good Bishop returned
to. his labors. He was of course some
what surprised that he was not at least
reimbursed for his exOenses of travel
and residence at the 'Capital. The story
finally leaked out, when Mr. Spragad's
ageriVat once came to he Bishop with a
,check; for $l,OOO. T is the - Bishop re
fused, on the groun that it was too
much. "Oh, no," said the agent, "this is
probably what he wo d have given you
if he had thought anyt ng about it at the
time, and he will beg d when her learns
that I have taken care f the matter."
