DR. LIVINGSTON'S CAP.
The New York Herald Club gave a dinner in honor of Mr Stanley, at which Dr Livingstone's brother was present. In returning thanks to the toast of his health, Mr Stanley referred to the mistrust which had been exhibited towards him by some of the English papers, and to the abuse bestowed upon him even in America. " But," he added, " whatever may be said, you will never be able to disguise the fact that a Herald correspondent discovered Dr. Livingstone. (Great applause). I may be called a forger but I would like to know if I could forge Dr. Livingstone's cap;" and here Mr Stanley suddenly drew from his pocket a dark blue military cap; with a large gold band around it» raised on a still larger band of red
Velvet. The action was received With loud cries of xjntbmsiasm, and the cap was passed around the circle, and tried upon each head in the company. ■"That," said Mr Stanley, "is the veritahle cap which iDr Livingston took off at Ujiji when the New York Herald "reporter said to him, with a, bow, \Dr Livingstone, I presume." (Tremendous applause.)
