Return of Dr. Livingston, THE CELEBRATED AFH1CAN TRAVELER. The Rev. Dr. Livingston, was expected t0 'each London 00 the ll'h. He was a passenger from Alexandria in the Penin- sular A Oriental Steam Navigation Com- pany'a ship Claudia, which encountered very severe weather after leaving Malta, anwbioh during , caIm lbal ,ubeceededt narr0.y escaped beinB drifted 00 the rocks near the Isle of Zi 111 bra. When within mile of certain destruction, a brecxe prov identially sprung up and carried the vessel past, and she was towed into tbe Bay of Tunia by one of the Bey's steamers. A part of tbe passengers, including Dr. Liv ingston, proceeded to Marseilles,in a small steamer, kindly granted by the Bey. The great traveler is in good health, although bis left arm is broken, and partly useless, it having been torn by a liou. When be was taken on board her Majesty's ship the Frolic, on the Mozambique coast, ba bad great difficulty in speaking a sen tence of English, hsviug disused it so long while traveling in Africa. II. had with bitn a native from the interior of Africa. This man, when ho got to tbe Mauritius, was .o excited with the steamers and vari ous wonders of civilization, tbat be went mad, and jumped into tho sea and was drowued. Br. Livingston ha. been absent from England seventeen years. He erotsed tlie great African continent, almost in tlte cen tre, from tcett to eatt ; ha. been where no civilized being ha. ever been before, and bas made many notable discoveries of great value. He traveled in tha two-fold char acter of missionary and physician, haying obtained a medical diploma. Ha ii ra- ther a short man, with a pleasing and sen ; 0us countenance which bel-keo the most determined resolution.

And you will see that this is true, when I tell ,ou what is the fact that ; tbeir blossoms having stamens and yellow anthers largely developed: and 3, Tba Hermaphrodite plant, which is neither I mate nor female, but between the two, for tha Strawberry belongs to a class of plants that contain both male and female organs ' in tha ume h ossnm.but the one or the oth- er of these organs is generally imperfect, and hence the plants are styled Pistillate 1 or Statuinate, just accordingly as the male : or female orcans of tbo plant happen to predominate. Thus, for example, among the Pistillate varieties we have Hovey's Seedling, the Hudson, Black Prince, Burr's New Pine ; among the SUminate., Keen. Seedling, and the Wilmot, Iowa, British Queen, Duke of Kent, Boston Pine; and among the Hermaphrodites, tbe Wuo(J A,pine Tar;eiicg, tbe Large Ear j Scarlet. Tbtiexnal ob.ri.eter of eaah of thesa, 1 ' bas always remained the anie, without ' any variation or change, and there D' ' blossoms, and send out innumerable- new shoots or runners, ntver produce any fruit, or very rarely so. l!ut the Pis'it lates will bear no fruit or at least only m ill and pool fruit until or nnless their petals or opening blosonn are imprcgna ttd with the po!m (a very tight, fine yel low powdery substance) of the Stamioates, or of the Hermaphrodites, for the Herma phrodites will answer the purposes of im pregnation equally as well ks the Stamio ates. Hence, it is absolutely necessary fr you to know and to have a due propor tion of these several kinds of plant in your patch, to secure an abundance of large and fine s: raw Writs. What constitutes this due proportion among the several var- icties of this plant, is not yet fully settled. Charles A. Peabody, a very successful ' Strawberry grower of Georgia, informs us , tha, t. , , row 0f ,1,. r -.. Eir, I Scarlet (a Hermapbrcdite) and tbeo mv- e- j en ro"s "ovey's Seedlin; (a Pistillate) a!oBg s,Je ot ' "d then another row of the Same Scar'.et and seven rows of tha Horry, Ae., the rows being two feet aparl eath W1. nd t!llt ,De Hermaphrodite, so atmngej, impregnates the female or Pis tillate liovey and thus secures mm an a bundant eroi cf fine fruit for at least six months is the year and that these are al so the only two varieties which he tat found to bloom and fruit together th whole season. (See U. S. A. Report of 1S53, p. 317, 18.) lie says, "I plant tba Statuinate every eighth row. Some culti vators mix in the rows; but I prefer to keep thani separate and distiact as they are more easily distinguished and kept be, ter in their places."
