SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL
lcnth or Dr. LlTlng;jtonc.
A cable telegram Informs u that newt
baa been received in England of tlie murder
by Caffrce tavages, in South Africa, of Dr.
David Livingstone, one of the roost famous
of African explorers. The extraordinary
length of the period which Lad elapsed
without news of him gave rise some time
since to fears for his fate, and this final in
telligence is the first that has made its way
to Europe since. Of course no particulars
of the traveler's death are transmitted to us,
and we are puzzled to know what can have
stirred up the natives to this butchery of a
man from whom they never bad anything
but just and kind treatment, and who had
always before eminent success in his deal
ings with them.
David Livingstone was the son of a
Scotch smalt farmer, and was himself born
on his patrimonial acres, a few miles out of
Glasgow, in 1815. He was bred to be a
cotton-spinner, but with the indomitable
pluck common to the Scotch peasantry he
educated himself before the age of nineteen,
so that he was able at that time to sink the
eliop and attend attlie University of Glas
gow the lectures in medicine and divinity,
with the idea of going afterwards to China
as a medical missionary. His project was
spoiled by the outbreak of a war between
Great Britain and tho flowery kingdom by
the time that he was prepared with the ne
cessary degree of licentiate of the faculty,
but his idea of travel was only diverted, not
destroyed, and be pitched next upon the
south of Africa, which has been tho theatre
of bis exploits since, and with the history
of the exploration of which his name is
linked as indissolubly as that of Mungo
Park with the central deserts of that old
est, and yet worst known, of the grand di
vision of the globe. There was, indeed, a
singular series of coincidences in the career
of the two. Both were Scotchmen, of the
sons of the Lowland tenantry, both left
tbeir country immediately for Africa, on
the completion of the university curriculum ;
both innde very signal contributions to our
knowledge, and now we are forced to add
that both met the same fate, though the in
terval was sixty years, Irom a population
which they had always before managed
with successful address.
Dr. Livingstone was more fortunate than
Park at the outset of his labor, for the year
1841, just alter Ins arrival in Africa, that
is, be succeeded in domestigating himself
among the Becliuanas, one of the most be
nighted of the southern tribes, and for six
years he labored there in his double voca
of physician and pries. In June, 1840, he
set out on his first exploring expedition,
and the ensuing August reached Luke Ngu
mi, as unknown -then as it has since beeu
made familiar. In 1851, after several more
expeditions of less importance, he mudo one
in which be reached the Zambesi. In 1852
ho had a casual glimpse of civilization agiiin
for the first time in twelve years, on a trip
to Capetown, underluken for tho purpose ot
sending his wife to England. Mrs. Living
stone, be it said, was the daughter of a mis
sionary in Africa ; her husband had met and
married her in Africa, and it was there that
she met her death some two years since,
after a participation in nearly all the hard
ships of his life.
In January, 1853, Dr. Livingstone left
Capetown on the journey out of which he
made his first book and the fame therefrom
accruing. In this journey he went through
with very notable pluck as many difficulties
and discomforts as would have sufficed to
discourage a dozen ordinary men, and he
ended it in May, 185(1, four years after he
started, at Quilimane, on the Indian Ocean,
having traversed the continent from ocean
to ocean, a distance ot uearly nine thousand
miles, with (and without) all conceivable
kiuds ot conveyance. He found a British
gunboat at Quilimane, and uiadu the passage
in her to the Mauritius, and so home by the
overland route, lie arrived home in De
cember, 1856, and was, of course, made a
lion of. Numerous public meetings were
held in his honor, at which he found that
his long absence and the disuse of his mother
tongue had made him so unskilled in it that
he was unable to express himself in it to the
satisfaction of himself or his audiences.
His book came out in 1857, carrying his
popularity throughout Great Britain and
America,
Dr. Livingstone turned his back on his
successes and sailed for the second time in
March, 1857. Tho government had given
him the consulate at Quilimano, aud be
made this place the point d'appui for his
next important expedition, in which be was
accompanied by a party of mtnm. The
course taken was up the river Zambesi, and
the results of this voyage are recorded in
bis second book, which he returned to Eng
land again iu 1863 to put into shape and
publish, and which is tn everybody libra

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman
writes:
Last fall Iwas relating my troubles to an
old pear-grower of Kentucky, when lie at
once said be knew of a perfect remedy,
which was to take the rind trom a piece o:
fut tiiicnii. as larce or larger than your hund
leave considerable fut npn it say a quarter
of an inch ; cut a hole through oue side
large enough to insert the thumb, and holes
on the opposite side lor the fingers; rub tbe
fut side of the bacon round the body of the
tree from tbe ground up, a little higher than
a rauit can reacn, and the trees are sa!u so
far as Mr. liabUt is concerned.
My kind frieud said he had applied this
remedy to bis orchard of sis thousand trees
snd bad never lost a tree ; and if I would
try it, he proposed to give me new trees
for all destroyed by the rabbits. In, De
cember last I applied tUis remedy to my
pear orchard of fifteen hundred youug trees,
and also an apple orchard of tbree hundred
trees, leaving three pear trees without tbe
bacon, as a test. The result has been that
my pear and apple orchards have entirely
escaped the nibbling of these marauders
not a tree haviug been touched, except the
three to which baeou was not applied, which
were entirely destroyed."

Washington, D. C, March 15, 1807.
Washington agin 1 Wat changhes hev
bin made iu the last two years 1 Not iu
Washington, for this deliteful abodoofof
fishl purity hezn't changed a particle, nor
never will. From the summit uv Willard's
Hotel I kin see now, ez I did a yeer ago, the
same signs uv "steamed oysters" in front the
Capitle, towrin over the trees at the tother
end uv the Avenoo; and behind, the Patent
Offis and Post OfBs buildina, the last the
Mecca uv every Dimocrat, and the tother uv
every Yankee who comes here. No t Wash
ington aint changed, but I hev. Formerly
when I visited Washington it wuz tite times
with me. Willard's wuz my hotel then ea
now. Chadwick, him uv the towrin bite,
rotund obdoraen, side whiskers and round
hat, wuz then, ez now, my landlord. In
them days, before the happy return uv A.
Johnson to reason put sum thousands uv
Democrats, who bed more stumick than
money, and more appetite than small change,
into offis, and, per consekencc, into condi
tion to pay their bills, I wuz a guest at this
hotel ; wich is to say I slept on tbe steps uv
the Capitol, and took or tried to take my
meals at Chadwick's bountiful board. Ef I
had no currency I had taste, and cz I wuz
fordgin for subsistence, I allnz made it a pint
to forage on the richest pnster fields. It's ez
easy to cheek a first-class dinner ez it is a
second-class, and besides, I felt that sich a
hotel ez Willard's wuz better ublo to stand
sich boarders ez I wuz than them uv less
patronage. I kept away from tother hotels
out uv sympathy tor the proprietors. .Never
shall I forget my last visit here. I bed run
tbe dinin-rootn guardian-agel for a week,
at least, when Chadwick stopped roe bis-self,
and the follerin cocversasher. ensood:
"My fren," aed he in winnin tones.
"Duvis, Garret, is my name!" sez I promp
tly. "V, o hear enuff," sez ho. "Listen 1 I've let
yoo ruu a week, cos it's my reelcr nractis
Yoo bed a hungry look, but by this time
yoo ought to be filled up and able to go at
least a week without eatin. Ez yoo ain't uv
no earthly yoose to anybody, and mnke no
pretentious to ueing ornainenra eit " and
three well-directed kicks landed me onto the
side-walk.
But I hev forgive him. He treats me well.
He hez confidence in me now, ez I hev paid
my board in advance. It's a rool he hez. he
jocosely remarked, with men uv my pecooliur
cosi uv counieuance to hev em pay in ad
vance, lie sez it's much the best way.
After payin, sich men ez me feel more com
fortable about the bouse, and so do the pro
prietors. It's me thut's changed I hev
money to pay my bills. Bless the Lord for
Seward, Johnson, Randall, and other lux
uries. But pleasant cz it is to contrast my former
posishen with my present proud one, I hev
not time to dwell upon reminiscences. Life
is short; I am a practical man, and tho it
may be pleasant to linger for a moment onto
memory's pleasant fields, I cannot. My
bizuis in Washinton in precisely what every
Democrat's biznis here is, to git confirmed.
It aint no trouble for a Kentucky Dimokrnt
to get appinted, for tho President hez so far
relaxed his rules in this partikeler cz to np
pint them ez wuzent never in the Coofcdrit
army, but to git confirmed to the pinch.
There's the gauntlet uv a Ablishn Sonit to
run, and good Lord wat a knowledge they
hev uv tho out-goina and iucomins uv ap-
pintecs i
Ihe President and Postmaster General
Randall wuz extremely anxious for my con
firmasben, so much so, that they advised me
to resort to tho strategy now so common in
the North.
"Go back on me for the time bein." sed
that trooly great and good man who adorns
the sofas in the Presidential Mansion. "Wil

affinities are with yoo, but don't. I beg uv
yoo, advise all uv em to so do. My deer sir,
two-thirds uv etn will go out for confirms
shen, and, ef successful, will forgit to return."
But the great and good Johnson wood
take no denials. "Draw up," sed he, "a let

Recent events have brousht before the
public mind afresh the incidents connected
with the late national tragedy, and iuvested
with additional interest all that can be
gleaned in relutiou to tho family of him who
iis Deen orongnt to this country charged
with having been an arcomnlice in the as-
sasination of President Lincoln. The records
of the Maryland Institute inform us that tho
aurrats were among the earliest names in the
colony of Maryland. During tho adminis
tration of Lord Baltimore, tempted by the
liberal offers of the royal governor, they
emigrated from England where they bad
been residing fur some years as French Ca
tholics, and scattered themselves as farmers
through the counties of Aun, Arundell and
Ualvert, in that province. Oue of tho des
cendants of this family the father of John
u. Durratt seems to have been given to
roving, and after farming Iu various portions
of Charles and Prince Georrzo's counties.

iiiciuiies, out prouatiiy tor tbe sake or the
profits of a small cross-road tavern which he
connected with his farm at Surrattsville.
Tho mother, who was a zealous Catholic.
bad destined both her boys for the priest
hood. One of them, however, preferring tho
sword to the cowl, after makinff himself
conspicuous in the John Brown raid, finally
joined the Rebel army. From this point all
traces ot him bad beeu loBt. According to
the popular gossip of the neighborhood,
Mrs. Surratt mingled in good country soci
ety, wss especially famous for her excellent
housekeeping, and excelled in the manufac
ture of what is known in that part of the
country as "Maryland biscuit." Upon the
death of her husband her son John took care
of her interest. He was a fair scholar, and
wrote neat composition. A thorough South
erner, be was the slave of local traditious
and prejudices, which warped a mind never
well balanced or strong. By those who
knew bim at this time he is represented as
physically wiry, snd ton vain not to flunt
when inceuseel ; nut the general estimate ol
his character seems to bsve been, that if he
had been placed in any thriving, energetic
community be would have tot tied down to
an extremely common-place man. How far
this lattor estimate was correct the evidence
that will probably be elicited within the
uext few weeks will determine. Common
place or not, tils name Is destined to an
unenviable notoriety in the future.
A Parisian journal propounded, as au in
tellectual exercise for its subscribers, the
invention of a suitable definition for "the

answers. Borne of them are ss rollows:
"A woman is a necessity, which Provl

I'rlRhirul Mexican Atrocity. .
We published vesterdav the ordnr nf Gin.
Mariano Escobedo. direction that all tbu
prisoners captured at San Jacinto Ranche
on the first day ot this month, not born in
Mexico, be put to death. This order was
executed on the third instant, at seveu
o'clock in the evening ; or, rather, the exe
cution of one hundred and tweuty-three
prisoners was finished at that hour. Oue bv
one, the prisoners were shot, and eaclt
bloody body was left as it fell tor the next
victim in order to look upon. We are in
formed that but few of the doomed victims
faltered ; and when marched out for execu
tion most of them sang tbe Marseillaise
hymn. We have been promised the full
particulars of this awful massacre, and when
received they will be laid before the publio
in order to complete the black and damning
record.
It has long been the custom in Mexico to
shoot commissioned officers captured in bat
tle, but this is the first instance for many
years where any considerable number of pri
vote soldier prisoners havo been sentenced
to death and executed. During all the wars
the Mexican commanders have regarded tbu
private soldier as on irresponsible instru
ment in the hand ot conscripting commis
sioned officers. Then why, let ns ask, have
they at this timo dragged one hundred and
twenty-three soldiers to the executioner's
block i There is but one snswer to be giv
en : These soldiers were foreigners. They
were only Frenchmen, and when disarmed
were heroically put to death. The perpe
trators of this atrocity were perfidious,
treacherous assassins.

The following is a careful translation oi
Escobedo's order to execute the prisoner!
of war captured at San Jacinto :

which humanity is outraged, as bus be
done by tbe foreign foicers which lately ;
