tgg-Tnz Democrat has no ideas to ex
press this week on Monroe rights in the
OoneresMonal muddle. Its mighty, effort of
week before last has, evidently exhausted the
hubject, ot least so far as it is concerned.
5tT Some folks have an idea that a word
of praise in the Jtffertonian is certain death
to the hopes of any Democrat who is the
reccipient of it, and, contrarywise that con
demnation by the Jeff, results in genuine
Democratic glorification and deration. But
they don't believe a word of it, you bet, and

We see it mentioned in a large number
of our exchanges, that "Dolly yardeD' is no
more, and that 'Polly Ticks" was her euc
cucssor. Now, while we are willing to admit
that "Polly" is rapidly gaining ground, ttiH,
we are f the opinion that "Dolly" is just as
popular as ever, if not more so. The gaudy
display made on our streets each pleasant
evening, fully verifies this statement
Tlie American Working People, the Au
gust number of which is now before us, is
among the most welcome of oar exchanges.
This, as well as aU preceding numbers, is
replete with historical, biographical, argu
Eientativey statistical and literary matter.

Deantlfbl Sunset. We would ad
vise that the Commissioners extend the pro
portions of Pocono bridge, in order that car
riages and vehicles of every description may
have an opportunity to pass over m safety.
That spot may safely be termed a 'lovers
retreat," and, judging from the numbers
that congregate there almost every evening
to watch as they say the "beautiful sun
set," we should consider it an appropriate
name. But why linger so long after the glo
rious sun has sunk to rest behind the western
horizon. Surely, there must be some far
greater attraction, which we, of older heads
do not understand. However, you "know
how it is yourself," and so we will stop.

We have received from the publishers of

the dear, bright, happy little faces. L.

$4, but they are now offered with Wood's
Magazine for one year at only $1.50. They
are to be introduced by agents, who are al
lowed a handsome commission on this price,
which makes a most desirable business for

richly worth the money, the pictures are
charming, and must be seen to be apprccia

Wo Pill in the world ever had anything
like the circulation of Aycrs Pills. - Through

wilds of Africa, throughout the jungles o
India, and the steppes of interior Asia, over
the continent of Australia, and the islands o:
the Pacific, these Pills are known and every
where used as family remedies for diseases,
With distant nations their wonderful cures
attract more attention than they do at home
for the sentiment of wonder takes a far deepe:
hold on their minds than the results of a
high scientific skill with us. The amount
consumed requires seventy-five thousand
doses a day to supply it An inspection of
the munufactory showed us how this enor
mous demand is made and sustained. ' Ad
ded to the consummate skill of their compo
sition, is an extreme care in their manufac
ture, which at once secures the most perfect
material and their most accurrate combina
tion. The consequence is a power and cer
tainty in controlling disease which other
remedies never attained. Bait Courier.

Had Id Doga. At this particular sea
son of the year, too much care cannot be
taken to prevent the numerous worthless
curs running at large in the streets, from bit
ing, either persons or animals. On Wednes
day last our usually quiet borough was
thrown into a state of the wildest excitement,
over the fact that a slut, owned by the Pal
mer Bro's., and showing unmistakable signs
of hoydrophobia, was rushing madly through
the streets, biting and snapping at every
thing animate and inanimate. Master Owen
Rhodes, son of Jacob Rhodes, residiug on
McDowel street, was bitten in the hand by
the rabid animal, as was also Ed. Dreher,
another lad of this borough. The services
of a celebrated physician of Bethlehem
were brought into requisition, and we are
happy to state that at this writting the two
young lads are in a fair way for recovery. A
large number of dogs were also bitten by this
rabid beast, and, on Friday and Saturday
last, the number of worthless curs running
at large on our streets was very materially
lessoned, some twelve or fifteen having been
killed. This is a etep in the right direction.
We would advise that a close watch be kept
upon all the dogs, and, as a sure preventa
tion from hydrophobia, whenever they show
the first symptoms of becoming mad, vaccin
ate them thoroughly with powder and shot J

ATATM FROM DTTLIVINGSTONi:
Gratitude of the Great Explorer,
US SAD PLIGHT WHEN FOUND.
' From Dr. Livingstone.
New York, July 25 The Jcrcrid
urnishes to the press of the country toe
following letters to its editor from Dr.
Livingstone:
Ujiji. Tanganyika, East Africa,
Nov., 18K James G. Bennett, Jr.
My 'i'r oir 11 is in general Borne
what difficult to write to one we have
never seen. It feels somewhat like ad
dressing as abstract idea, bat the presence
of 'your representative, Mr. Stanley, in
this distant region, takes away the strange
ness 'I should otherwise have felt, and,
in writing to thank you for the extreme
kindness that prompted you to scud him.
I feel quite at home.
If I explain the forlorn condition in
which he found me you will easily per
ceive that I have good reason to use very
strong expressions of gratitude. : I came
to Ujijt off a tramp of between four hun
dred and five hundred miles, beneath. a
bUzing, vertical sun, having been baflied,
worried, deteated and forced to return
when almost in sight of the end of the
geographical "part" of my ' mission, by a
numbcr'of half caste Moslem slaves, sent
to me from Zanzibar, instead of men.
The sore, heart made still sorer by the
woful sights 1 bad seen of man s mhu
mauity to man, reached and told on the
bodily frame, and depressed me beyond
measure. I tnougnt that 1 was dying
on my feet. It is not too much to say tha
almost every step of the weary, sultry way
I was in pain; and I reached Ujiji a mere
"ruckle of bones. There I found that
some five hundred sterling worth of goods
which I had ordered from Zanzibar, had
unaccountably been intrusted to a drunk
en half caste Moslem tailor, who, aftc
squandering them for sixteen months on
tlie way to Ujiji, finished up by selling
off all that reui4ioed for slaves and ivory
fur himself. He had "divined" on the
Koran, aud found that I was dead. II
had' alio written to the Governor ot
(Jnyaoyanyembc that he had sent slave
after me to Manyema, who retured and
reported my death, and begsed permia
sion to sclb off the few goods that hi
drunken appetite had spared.
He, however, knew perfectly well, from
men who had seen me, that I was alive
and waiting for the goods and men ; but
as for morality, he is evidently an idiot
and, there being no law here except tha
of the dagger or musket, I had to sit down
in great weakness, destitute of every thin
ave a few barter cloths and beads whic
had taken the precaution to leave here
in case of extreme need. The near pros
pect of begsring amoug the Ujijians made
me miserable.
I could not despair, because I laughed
so much at a friend who, on reachin
the mouth of the Zambezi, and that h
was tempted to despair on breaking th
photograph of his wife. He could hav
no success after that. After that the ide
of despair had to me such a strong smack
of the ludicrous that it was out of ti
question. . When I had got to about the
lowest verge vague Tumors of an English
visitor reached me.
I thought of myself as the man who
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
but neither priest, Levite nor Samaritan
could possibly pa.s my way, yet the good
Samaritan was close at hand, and one of
my people rushed up at the top of bis
speed, and, in great excitement, grasped
out, "An Englishman coming : I see him!"
and off he darted to meet him.
An American fbig, the first ever seen
in these parts, at the head of a caravan,;
told me the nationality of the stranger.
am as cold and non demonstrative as we
islanders are usually reported to be, but
your kindness made my frame thrill. It
was, indeed, overwhelming, and I said,
iu my soul, "Let the richest blessings de
sccud from the Highest on you and yours.'
The news Stanley had to tell was thrill
ing. Mighty political changes on 'the
Continent, the success of the Atlantic
cables, the election of Gen. Grant, aud
many other topics, riveted my attention
for days together, and had an immediate
and beneficial effect on my health.
I had been without news from home
for years,' save what I could gleau from
a few Saturday Reviact and Punch for
18GS. , My appetite revived, and in a
week I began to feel strong agin Mr.
Stanley brought a mo5t kind and en
couraging dvpitlch from Lord Clarendon,
whone loss I sincerely deplore the firt
I have received from the Foreigu Oi&oe
since 186(1, and the information that the
British 'Government had' kindly scut
1000 to my aid. . .
Up to tbia arrival I wa not aware of
any pecuniary aid. I came unsalaried;
but this., want is now happily repaired,
and L am anxious that you and all my
frieuds should know that though un
cheered by letter, I have stuck to the task
which my friead, Sir Roderick Murcht-
eon set me, with John Bullish tenacity,
bel ieving that all would come rijrht at
last.
Tho water shed ofSouth Central Africa
is over seven hundred miles in length
The fountains thereon are almot innumer

into four large rivers, and these again in

who visited Caxembe aked for sluvcs and

nto inner Ethiopia, the Lambi, or th
Upper Zambezi and the Kafneare. They
are not the sources of the Nile mentioned
by the Secretary of Minerva in the city
of Sars to Herodotus.

example of the fatal facility with which
Governor Geary is manipulated by
political adventurers. Mara, it will be
remembered, was convicted two or three
year? ago of an attempt to murder Defective
Crooks, of the Internal Revenue service,
who was at that tiao unearthing the
frauds of the whiskey rt. It was then
proved that Mara and his accomplices
were the hired tools of other p-irties to
take the life of Urooks. The original
plotters of the assassination were not dis
covered, Brooks did not die, and Mara
and Dougherty were sent to the peniten
tiary. A lew months ago, through the
active efforts of McMullen, Josephs, and
ome other city politicians, a pardon for
Mara was obtained from Governor Geary.
Mara has now requited ihe friendly act of
McMullen by shooting him at sight, and
inflicting what may yet be a fatal wound.
He has friends enough to hide him, aud
it seems quite probable that he will escape
punishment for his last attempt at murder.
Ihe responsibility of this bloody act falls
back upon the Governor with, fearful
force. In the face of notorious facta he
persists in pardouing the worst of criiui
nals, while other cases which seem really
deserving receive not the least attention.

The report circulated rcceutlr that
Governor Curtin is comioc home from
Ilussia to take the stamp for (Ireclej is
now positively denied. The 15!lefo'
lirjyuidi'can says that his frieads have re
ceived letters expressing opposite views,
and the Scranton Republican has iuform-.
tion to the same effect. Governor Curtra
now holds an honorable and responsible
position under the Government, aud it is
not at all likely that he will forsake it to
fight against the party and principles that
he has always advocated.
