LIVINGSTONE AND STANLEY.

In a letter from Dr. Livingstone to Sir Thomas M'Lean, just published, the traveller says Stanly behaved nobly. I was in abject misery at Ujiji—stomach and bowels so out of tone. A little bit of meat produced violent diarrhoea, and was entirely In th© Banian and the King’s hands, and could expect up aid from him, but wou)d die rather than be beaten, and proposed, as soon as I gained a little strength, to work my way down to Barker for aid, '1 hen Stanley came on the scene, divided all his clothes into two heaps, and insisted on my accepting one, I only wanted a jacket, for 1 had only a red one, put at eibows—a pretty Doctor of Civil Law at Oxford—cooked painty dishes with his own hands to stimulate my appetite- placed his goods at my disposal, and wanted me to go home and recruit and come brek. Could I bide what 1 bad been doing, and what I expected to do, from one ovei flowing with kindness, seeing 1 had dispatches ready, which would soon publish all I had done to all the world? I spoke freely, and bless him who saved me a weary tramp to Baker, and probably saved my life. ” In an unfinished letter dated from a lake in South Africa, Livingston says s “I have a party of good men selected by H. M. Stanley, who, at the instance of Mr James Gordon Bennett, of the New York ‘ Herald,’ acted the part of a good Samaritan truly, {and relieved my necessities, A dutiful son could not have done more than he generously did, I bless him.”
