THE SOURCES OF THE NILE-
We have late and authentic news from
that indomitable African explorer, Dr.
Li\ uigstone, that he is not only alive and
wtil, but that in prosecuting’ his
graphical researches he has discovered
that one of the sources of the Nile, empty
ing into the great lake Victoria Nyanza
rises some ten degrees sonth of the equator!
If this be true the Nile becomes the longest
river in the world, eclipsing even the
tremendous sweep of the Missouri from
its sources to the Mississippi and thence
to n.t aulf. A fair idea of the long lino
of the Nile may be formed from the
fact that the distance between its last re
ported source and its delta along the
Mediterranean, is equal to the distance
Irorn Lima, in Peru, to the City of New
Orleans, or from the City of Mexico away
up to Mount St. Klias, the end of the
backbone of this continent, in Alaska.
'‘L then, may the ancient river of
Lgypt be called the Mighty Nile.
Put we need go no further on the one
hand than into the mountains of Abys
sinia, whence the Blue Nile and the Al
oai.i, tributaries of the main stream,
descend, and, on the other hand, to the
h’A ‘s Ail ert and Victoria Nyanza, the
great reservoirs of the white Nile or
Hia iu river, in order to establish the life*
giving and never-failing stream of Egypt
in its peculiar features, as the most won
derful in the world. From the deluging
rains which, from the Indian ocean are
borne and discharged upon the Abyssini
an mountains and tablelands, come the
enriching annual overflow of Egypt, while
from the abounding equatorial rains of
the lofty regions around lakes Albert and
Victoria-flows that cxhaustlesa supply of
the main stream which, for fifteen hun
dred miles through a burning desert,
bears still its ample volume to the sea.
These facts have been fully established
by the explore lions of that intelligent
traveler and dashing son of Nimrod, Sir
Samuel Baker, in conjunction with the
equatorial discoveries of Speke, Grant,
and Burton. . Baker, in the service of
the enterprising Egyptian Viceroy, is
now at the head of a powerful expedition
cii route to take possession of the whole
line of the Nile, and should Livingstone
remain a few months longer ‘‘prospecting*’
around these equatorial lakes, Baker wdl
probable find him and bring him off.
Such a meeting vvouM be an event for a
general festival among the geographical
societies throughout lou World.

Gjias. A. Du r gin deposed: I have
been familiar with sewing-machines for
many years. The Wheeler & Wilson
Machines are vastly superior in their
adaptation arid use upon all classes of
work for domestic purposes. One great
consideration in the use of sewing-ma
chines is the expense of repairs. From
the ease of all its mechanical movements,
the Wheeler A Wilson Machine is sub
ject to Imt slight wear, and the expense
of repair is very slight in comparison
with other machines. lam fully con

that ot any other two-thread machine.

A TORPID SYSTEM.
Sometimes, without any assignable
cause, the physical strength and animal
spirits give away, and a strange torpor
lulls alike on the body and intellect.
r l here is little or no pain perhaps, but
the natural vigor and elasticity of the
nervous and muscular system seems to
have departed, and an indifference to
the pleasures of life, and even of its grave
responsibilities, takes the place of that
earnest interest in both which charac
terizes every well balauccd mind when in
a healthy condition.
I his state of partial collapse is often
the premonitory symptoms of some
serious malady. It indicates unmis
takably that the vital powers are lan
guishing and need a stimulant. In such
cases the effect of a few doses of Ilostet
tor’s Stomach Bitters is wonderfully
beneficial. The great, tonic w T akes up the
system from its drowse. The secretions and
and the circulation receive anew impetus.
Ihe relaxed nerves recover their
elasticity under the operations of the
specific, like the slackened strength of a
musical instrument in the process o
lining. Lethargy and debility are re*
placed by energy and vigor, the spirits
use, and life that almost seemed a bur
den with the season of depression lasted,
becomes once more ’ enjoyable. That
such a radical change should be produc
ed by a remedy entirely devoid of the
powerful alkaloids and minerals so ex
tensively used in modern practice, may
seem incredible to those who pin their
faith on the medicinal efficacy of active
poisons, but if these skeptics will take
the trouble to enquire of those who have
tested the corrective and alterative vir
fues of the Bitters under the (fircum
stanccs described, they will find the
statement to be true.
