DR. LIVINGSTONE.
There seems no longer to exist the least
doubt in regard to the death of this great
African traveler. His remains are on
their way to Great Britain, and were ful
ly recognized by personal acquaintances
on their arrival from the interior at Zan
zibar. an island near the Eastern Coast
of Africa, nearly under the Equator. His
body will be brought, we presume, by
way of the Red Sea, Suez Canal, and the
Mediterranean Sea, to Europe.
Rev. David Livingstone, L. L. D., F.
S. A., &c.. &c., was descended on his pa
ternal side from a sturdy line of Highland
Scotch ancestors. His great grand-fathei
was a fanner in the Island of Ulva, one
of the Hebrides alluded to in the poet
Campbell’s “Lord Ullin's Daughter,” and
by Sir Walter Scott in the lines occurring
in his “ Lord of the Isles

His father removed from Ulva, where the
great African traveler was born, to the
neighborhood of Glasgow, where Dr.
Livingstone spent some years, beginning
in his tenth year, as a “piecer” in the cel
ebrated Blantyre Cotton Factory on the
River Clyde. Here, while at work, he
mastered his Latin, and was a greedy
reader of everything that fell in his way
except novels. These he shunned. Attain
ing manhood he was master of large stores
of useful knowledge, and entered the
Ministry with the view of going as a Mis
sionary to China under the auspices of
London Missionary Society—selecting
that society (as he expresses himself) be
cause “it sends neither Episcopacy nor
Presbyterianism nor Independency,but the
Gospel of Christ to the heathen.” Dr.
Livingstone recalls, with pleasure, in an
autobiography, words uttered to him at
this period by his venerable friend David
Hogg on Iris death beu, “ Now, lad, make
religion the every-day business of your
life, and not a thing of fits and starts;
for if you do not, temptation will get the
better of you.” Dr. L. also qualified him
self for greater usefulness among pagans
by a thorough study of the medical art.
About this time the “Opium War,” as it
was termed, between Great Britain and
China, diverted Dr Livingstone’s atten
tion elsewhere. He turned liis attention
to Africa as an inviting field for Mission
ary labor. He embarked for Cape Town
in Africa in 1840, and penetrating to the
interior of Southern Africa he devoted
his time until 1856 to medical and mis
sionary labors (sixteen years) without cost
to the inhabitants. Returning to England
the results of his labors and observations
in Africa were brought before the public
in 1857 in an elegant volume dedicated
to his friend Sir Roderick Impey Murclii
son. President of the Royal Geographical
Society, Ac.
Dr. Livingstone remained in England
about 18 months. In 1858 he set out
again for Africa to explore the sources of
tlie River Zambesi. The British Govern
ment furnished him a steamer which con
veyed him to Africa, and up the River
Zambesi as far as the vessel could make
its way. From this second expedition ho
returned in 1864. He was received by
the titled and the learned in Iris native
land with great distinction: and the fruits
of his travels from 1858 to 1864 were
embodied in a voluminous and elegant
English publication.
Dr. Livingstone left England for his
third torn 1 to Africa, Aug. 14, 1865. He
proceeded to Zanzibar oft' the Eastern
Coast of Africa, whence he set forth west-
wardly in a search for Lake Nyassa. in
the interior of Southern Africa, March
28, 1866. Rumors of his death haring
reached Europe and America, several ex
peditions were fitted out to search for the
great traveler. The successful one was
prosecuted by the American traveler,
Stanley, who penetrated the interior of
Africa in 1871-2. and found Dr. Living

OLIVER GOLDSMITH.
One of the most distinguished orna
ments of English literature, as well as the
most amorphous character history has
ever produced, was Oliver Goldsmith.—
His nature seemed to have combined the
most heterogeneous materials ; oddities,
excellencies, frailties,'susceptibilities and
sympathies in rare profusion. Added to
all these, the most antithetical exhibitions
of sullen gloom changing to boisterous
gaiety, generosity and fitful gleams of en
vy, vanity end fondnoss for display on the
one hand with a rare prodigality of de
sire to relieve distress, and inflexible fi
delity to friends; and we have just the
structure adapted to exhibit what is known
as a real genius.
Goldsmith’s misfortunes began with his
infancy. Bom of poor parentage in the
obscure village of Pallas, Ireland, in 1728,
with few advantages, he seemed to have
had little else through life than mortifi
cations and sufferings. With naturally
ugly features he was still more disfigured
by small pox. Awkward, rediculous and
clumsy, he was the butt of his school
mates ; stupid and unstudious, he was the
victim of his tutor’s tyranny. Yet, withall
these his kindness of nature guided his pen
into the sweetest channels of poetry and
and the gentlest and most sparkling spec-
mens of prose writings ever written. Among
his earliest literary efforts were Chinese
Letters and various magazine articles.—
He became acquainted with Dr. Johnson
in 1761, and through his friendly aid dis
posed of the Vicar of Wakefield, a novel
which is world renowned. Every one is
familiar with his poems and histories.—
Goldsmith is author also of two come
dies, “The Good Natured Man,” which
was unsuccessful on the stage, but sold
out the first edition on the second day;
and “ She stoops to Conquer,” founded
ou one of his own blundering adventures.
An amusing circumstance is related by
Cumberland of a ruse the friends of Gold
smith resorted to to give success to this
admirable drama. Adam Drummond, one
of the fr iends of the poet, was gifted by
nature with a stentorian and contagious
laugh. He was stationed on the first
night of the play in a box near the stage,
in full view of the pit and gallery, with
Cumberland at his elbow to signal him
when to open his artillery of laughter.—
All eyes were fixed on Dr. Johnson, and
when he laughed everybody was licensed
to roar. Drummond laughed at the first
signal with a cachination so comic that
the attention of the audience was devoted
to him ; and when once started, he could
not well be reined in, often times roaring
in a most malapropos manner, which
threatened to defeat his object. The
play was a complete success, and owed
much to Drummond’s unseemly mirth.—
Goldsmith, always prodigal and thriftless
w nk r U A der i^ tc t lasome months after.
He died m 1714. His grave is unknown,
but a tablet to his memory exists in
Westminster Abbey with a laudatory Lat
in inscription from the pen of his friend
Dr. Johnson. A charming sketch of
Goldsmith, illustrated by likenesses of
Goldsmith, Johnson, Boswell and several
others of that immortal boterie, appears
in Harpers Monthly for April—along
with various other excellent articles with
and without engravings.

Abingdon, Va., March 26th, 1874.
Dear Union & Recorder :
Returning from New- York, I sojourn
for rest a few days in this old town. On
the 29th I shall resume my homeward
journey toward Georgia.
I delayed to write until I reached this
point because I flattered myself by a
prescience which I possess in regard to
news-letter-readers, as a class, that your
numerous subscribers would prefer a let
ter from Abingdon to news from any
other place. Expect not therefore, to
read a word about my travel anywhere
beyond this locality, for if you have ever
taken a flying trip to the great northern
Emporiums (as every Editor must have
done) you know full well that description
destroys itself by the multifarious ob
jects that constantly demand attention
besides, if I were to attempt to describe
New York for the pleasure of your read
ers who have not been there, I am sure
that they .could leam'nothing from amass
of words hut that New York was a big
place, that Trinity church steeple was
very higli, or that your correspondent
was terribly jostled by the hurrying
crowd on Broadway.
I confess that I have scarcely a clearer
idea myself of this great American mart
of commerce, noise and bustle; and if
were obliged to tell in a few words my
impression of New York, I could do
nothing but converge all my thoughts on
one or thejother of the three above men.
tioned ideas, just as we have no other idea
of the battle field of ’Waterloo, from pic
tures or descriptions, but that the British
Lion, stands on an artificial mount with
his fore paws everlastingly and vaunt-
tingly in the air. But here at Abingdon,
there is so much landscape and so little
town, that one gets rid of confusion, and
every house and tree or pig and cow that
comes into the picture is seen distinctly.
Here wheie habitations nestle in the hoi
low lap of encircling mountains, and
church spires point upward from the
bosom of many hills, a newspaper cor
respondent feels within himself a touris
tic eloquence. Thus, after two days of
sauntering and napping, I am inspirited
to write to the “Union,” or to the entire
Universe.
Abingdon is the most distinguished
town of the South-west portion of Virgin
ia: indeed it is claimed by the entire
population of the South-west (and I be
lieve justly) that it is not only one of the
most distinguished towns of the dear old
parent State, but of the United States.
Abingdon has furnished statesmen, he
roes and orators. Her great sons rank
with the highest. I might run back to a
remote period of her history and call up
names that belong to courage, genius or
honor, and at this day give prestige to
proud descendants! Whichever way you
turn amid these mountain vales you can
find reminiscences of the Patriot, the
hero and the orator. Here is the birth
place of the Preston orators and of Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston, the home of the
late Gen. Floyd. Patriotism, heroism and
eloquence are all rolled up together in
the Abingdon scroll of fame.
Noble garland of indestructible laurels!
forever crowning the brow of this little
city.
In one of my inquisitive rambles, I
saw the house in which Gen. Joe John
ston spent his infant days.
I c annot refr ain fr om saying here, as a
general thing, the cradles of heroism are
queer -.looking constructions.
From the rough trougli that floated
the royal twins in the stagnant pool of
the Tiber (mentioned by Livy an^j other
ancient authors) to the old fashioned
abodes that sheltered the infancy of
modern heroes, of course one expects
something odd and unique in these
nests of greatness. To this the John
ston farm-house was in itself no violent
exception; but as I noticed the careful re
pairs, neat fences and the habitable home
like appearance of the house and sur
roundings, I could not repress a poetic
sigh of disappointment.
Perhaps ihorarival tip
AKingiinn; but it is my duty as an impar
tud tinner and chronicler t6 say that on
tins particular Sunday pot a feather trem
bled or an artificial flower was agitated in
the well-dremid assemblage, although
the preacher made what I thought a
thoroughly awakening sennqn. I intend
ed to say something about crop prospects
but there is nothing to say. Abingdon
is in icy winter yet, seated on her moun
tain-top 2,000 feet above the sea level. I

STONEWALL JACKSON. |
An extremely interesting “reminiscen-
tial" article entitled “Stonewall Jackson,
between his death-bed and his grave” ap
pears in the April number of “The South
ern Magazine” of Baltimore, Maryland,
edited by Wm. Hand Browne.
On the day of Gen. Jackson’s death.
Rev. Dr. Lacy, chief chaplain, preached
at the Head-Quarters of Jackson’s army
corps from the text “And we know that
all things work together for good to
them that love God.” At the prayer, Dr.
Lacy invited all to unite with him in an
appeal to the most High to spare the life
of their beloved General. The thousands
of stem warriors sank on their knees as
by one impulse, and througli^ut the
kneeling mass the suppressed voices of
the supplicating mass were heard in uni
son with the praying divine. While the
services were in progress, the spirit of
the beloved Chief passed from earth. The
article abounds with other striking pass
ages.
This Magazine is the official organ of
the Southern Historical Society, and is
published by Turnbull Brothers, 8 N.
Charles Street, Baltimore. The April
number contains many other admirable
articles which we cannot particularize
further.

“There as I pues’d with eareless steps and alow,
Tiie mingling notes came softeued from below.

The noisy geesajhat gabbled o’er the pool,
The watcli-dog’s voice that bay’d the whispering

Not one of these sounds of life were in
unison with my barbarous fancy. I long
ed for moss grown ruins and broken col
umns to tell the tale of greatness with
the eloquence of solitude and silence.
A fine old gen tleman seeing that I was
a stranger, approached me, and [after a
little eouversation asked me to walk in.
So I had the opportunity of seeing the
narrow hall and rooms. I was overjoyed
to observe that a dangerous looking
stair way led from the upper story into
the front parlor. As I was full of what
Mr. Carlyle calls “Hero worship,” my im
agination pictured it as the place where
the young Joe had found a hard school
of gymnastics and met with many a bruise
and tumble to fit him for the wide and
terrible arena of martial conflict.
I visited the female schools of Abing

grounds and are well furnished. The

over by President Jones, is certainly %

The Jackson Institute (Presbyterian)
is not so old, but is conducted ably by
Mr. Davidson and his charming wife.
And the Catholic Academy conducted by
the Sisters of the Visitation. These are
accomplished ladies. The truth is that
Virginia from its situation and advan
tages deserves to be the educational
State for the entire South. The climate
and society of Abingdon are wholesome
for young ladies. If, instead of being a
wretched bachelor, I had the government

I was treated to choice music at the Visi
tation Academy. Being a connoisseur
in this art, I could not but be pleased
with the really delightful singing and in
strumental performance. I also saw beau
tiful specimens of painting and drawing.
I was surprised and gratified to find
that artist’s materials were supplied to
this place from Atlanta, in our own State.
These goods, constituting the out-fit of a
young artist and student in Abingdon
(paints, canvas, pencils &c.) came from
the well known house of Carley A Dock
and Co., whose direct importation of
these articles from the old world, selected
there by superior connoisseurs, enables
them to compete successfully in quality
and prices with the most farored dealers
in the largest northern cities.
I looked into the Maury Literary Sode

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
One hundred and ten years ago there
was not a single white man in what is
now Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois.
Then, what is now the most flourishing
part of the United States, was as little
known as the country in the heart of
Africa itself. It was not till 1776 that
Boone left his home in North Carolina to
become the first settler in Kentucky.
And the first pioneers of Ohio did not
settled till twenty years later still. A
hundred years ago Canada bolonged to
France, and Washington was a modest
Virginia Colonel, and the United States
the most loyal part of the British Empire,
and scarcely a speck on the political
horizon indicated the struggle that in a
score of years was to lay the foundation
of the greatest republic of the world.
A hundred years ago there were but
four small newspapers in America; steam
engines had not been imagined, and
locomotives, and steamboats, and rail
roads, and telegraphs, and postal cards,
and friction matches, and revolvers, and
percussion caps, and breechloading guns,
and stoves and furnaces, and gas for
dwellings, and India rubber shoes, and
Spaulding’s glue, and sewing machines,
and anthracite coal, and photographs,
and cliromo paintings, and kerosene oil,
and the safety lamp, and the compound
blow-pipe, and free schools, and spring
mattresses, and wood engravings, and
Brussels carpets, and lever watches, and
greenbacks, and cotton and woollen factor
ies, in anything like the present meaning
of these terms, were utterly unknown.
A hundred years ago the spinning
wheel was in almost every family, and clo
thing was spun and woven and made up
in the household; and the printing press
was a cumbrous machine, worked by
hand; and a nail, or a brick, or a pair of
shears or scissors, or a razor, or a woven
pair of stockings, or an axe, or hoc, or
shovel, or a lock or key, ora plate of glass
of any size, was not made in what is now
the United States. Even in 1790 there
were only seventy-five postoffices in the
country, and the whole extent of our post
routes was less than nineteen hunched
miles. Cheap postage was unheard of,
and had any one suggested the trans
mission of messages with lightning speed
he would have been thought utterly in
sane. The microscope on the one hand,
and the telescope on the other, were in
their infancy as instruments of science;
and geology and chemistry were almost
unknown. In a word, it is true that to
the century passed have been allotted
more improvements, in their bearing on
the comfort and happiness of mankind
than to any other which has elapsed since
the creation of the world.
With all these wonderful improvements
within the century, who would allow such
narrow and contracted views as to object
to a suitable Centennial celebration of the
marvellous progress of the age?

which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint; Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. WistaFs
Balsam does not dry up a
Congh, and leave thjp Anise
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays imEa&bh,~
thus removing thd > erase of
the complaint.
