KRUGER AND LIVINGSTONE.

According to a London paper, Dr. Stewart, of Lovedale, has been giving the lie to a passage in Kruger'e memoirs, in which the ex-President has some remarks upon Dr. Livingstone. The passage refers to the destruction of Livingstone's station at Kolobsng. It is said that somebody found there a ''complete workshop for the repair of firearms and a multitude of war materials which Livingstone kept stored up for Secheli's use." Commandant Soholtz, Kruger adds, "confiscated the missionary's arsenal, and in return the Boers were insulted and slandered throughout the length and breadth of England." As one who knew Livingstone, and his real opinions and practice, and who had the opportunity of seeing him at some of th« most trying periods of his life, Dt. Stewart denies the story. It is, he says, a contradiction to the entire epirit and practice of Livingstone's whole life. "No such thing as a complete workshop and an arsenal for supplying natives ever existed at Livingstone's station." This is definite enough, but Livingstone's reputation has nothing to fear from anything that Mr Kruger may cay about it.
