Dr. David Livingstone
Fromthe N. Y Tribrne.)
, Again we have news of the ;Heath of the
celebrated Dr. Livingstone, who, it 'is an-
- nounced with apparent authority, has been
burned as a wizard by a chief in the inter-
ior of Africa._this distinguished traveller.
and missionarwas born at Blantyre Works
near Glasgow, ;in 1815. His, .father was.
employedin the cotters mills 4 that place,
and David was pieced at the same trade at
the age of 10. During; the period of about
10 years which lie spent at the,!, cotton fac-
tory, he spursued in the intervals of daily
labor an extended course of se4 instruction,
and acquired a knowledge of j Latin and
Greek, and of various branchesof . science.
Hgoin conceived the idea of to China as
g
a medical dical missionary, with wb'ch object he
attended lectures on medicine no divinit
in the University of Glasgow. In 1840
he embarked for Cape Town, from thenc
proceeded to the interior of Africa, where h
founded missionary stations and labored a
his calling. In June, 1849, r. Living
stone, in company with two gnglish gen
tlemsri, started on his first e4ploring ex
pedition, and on August 14 i eb.ched Lak
Ngami over the Bakalihai desert, which
had for along time presented insuperabl
obstacles to persons crossing in that direc
tion. He and his companions were th
first Europeans who visited this lake.
While at Fort Natal -he became acquainte
w;yth his countryman, 'the Rev. Rober
Moffat, one of the most active of the Afri
can missionaries, and eventually married
his daughter, who shared in some of hi
most perilous journeys. For 16 years,
namely, from 1840 till his return. to Eng
land at the close of 1856—he labored per
severeingly as one of the agents of the
London Missionary. Society at Kurnman,
Mahodson. and other stations in Sou th
Africa. During that time he made seve-
ral expeditions into the interior. and twice
crossed the entire continent, a little south
of the Tropic of Capricorn, £roan the shores
of the Indian Ocean to those of the Atlan-
tic. The most important of these journeys
was entered on in January, 1853, and in
May of the same year he reached Linyanti,
the principal town of the power uI 111T rkolo
tribe, where he was,enthusiasti ally receiv-
ed by the chief, Sekeltu, and the entire
population. Departing thence in Novem-
ber he proceeded up the Lecambye River,
and its affluent, the Leeba, to Lake l?ilolo,
and thence, with considerable difficulty
and peril, across the Congo River to Ango-
la, at the capital of which country, Loando,
en the western coast of Africa, lie arrived
Mar 31, 1854, and was kindly received by
the Portuguese authorities stationed there.
He left that place in the ensuing Septem-
bei, reached Linyanti in Septeniber, 1855,
and thence proceeded down the Lecambye
and Zambesi rivers, which he found to be
identical, to Quilimans on the Indian
Ocean, reaching that place May! 20, 1856.
He had thus within. a period of about three
years explored a portion of the .African
continent never previously described by
Europeans, and trave] led probably upward
of 9;000 miles. From Quilimarte he pro•
ceeded to England, where his; wife and
family had preceded him' 4 ye*rs before,
and he arrived there Dec. 12, 185 6. Ow-
;
ng to his long absence from England and
his constant intereourse with- .: he savage
tribes, his mother tongue had become so
unfamiliar to him that at a public meeting
givenin his honor he found diffiulty in ex-
pressing himself with fluency. In 1857
appeared his " Missionory Travels and Re-
searches in South Africa.," and th next year
he sailed for. Quilirnane, ss here h had been
appointed Consul, and subsequently de-
parted on a new explor;ng expedition up
the Zambesi River with a party of seienti-
fic men. His explorations up to the close
of December, 1861, were maim devoted
lei
to the locality of Lake yassaiI He as-
cended this lake for 200 miles, and gave
interesting details of its shape, extent, and
of the rivers flowing into it. He also ex-
erted himself, at considerable peril, to cause
a tribe to abandon slave -hunting' Having
received a steamer in parts from England,
in the Spring of 1862 he had it transported
beyond the cataracts, put togdther, and
launched upon the river, and -i this he
again ascended the lake, and was! involved
in some of the native wars. In 11864 he
returned to England, and gave detailed ac-
counts of his travel, and described the cli-
mate and topography of the regioi on the
west shore of Lake Nyassa. Dr. Living-
stone departed again late in the year 1865,
with a simple equipment, furnished'jointly
by the British Government Government and the Royal
Geographical Society, in the hope of as-
cending nearer to the equator, wad explor-
ing the Albert and Victoria Nyanza, and
ascertaining definitely their ralato each oth-

however, following reference is -made to
Dr. Livin'` `y ue's labors, and a clue is given
to the causes which have led to his death by
the hands of some savage tribe :
Of Dr. Livingstone's labors we hear
but poor success. Previous to . his last
arrival among there, when toldthat he was
coming, the first question they asked was,
'What is he coming to do 1—to bring guns'?
No_; the Book. Well then, he had bet-
ter stay away ; ihis God has killed us.' Se
betoane's doctors attribute the chief's death
.to the white men coming among them, and
whenever Dr. Livingstone preaches in the
presence of or visits a chief; the doctors
burn something as a charm to protect them
from his witchcraft. Bt ing,.,as they find; a
doctor, he has also,a reputation of being a
wizard. This makes hia, either feared or
admired, and gives him a certain influence.
They give him credit for being a good dot •
tor, and say he has cured nlanv, but killed
some, natives. They do not believe in na-
tural deaths ; when a man dios,he has been
killed. By all accounts the doctor's preach-
ing is barely tolerated by the chief, who is
at heart highly .dtspleaseu at his doctrine
concerning rain and polygamy. The 'peo-
ple Say that Dr. Livingstone has promised
them -all the good things of the earth—rain,
corn, cattle, &c.—if they would believe in
God and refrain from polygamy, slavery,
and other malpractices ; that they have
waited a long time for these good things,
and that they would wait another year to
see if the Good Man he Milked about helped
them nicely."
Royal Remains in Westminster Abbey
In the new edition (the third) of Dean
Stanleys " Memorials of Westminister
Abbey," thirty-five pages are devoted to the
search after the burial -place of Ring JamesI., the exact position of which had been as
much disputed~among antiquaries as that
-of his unfortunate son. All doubt about -
the latter was long ago cleared up by
George IV, and Sir Henry Halford, who
found the "Royal Martyr" sleeping his last
sleeprside by side with Harry VIII.; just._
as his father's remains have nowkbeen dis-
covered- lying, cuckoo -fashion, in the sta.telv
monument of Henry VII. and Elizabeth
Plantagenet. The first idea *as_that James
had been interred' by the side of the mother
of his children, but on opening the• vault,
alone, in the centre of the wide space, _ lay
a long leaden coffin, shaped to the form of
the body, on which was a plate of brass
with an inscreption, giving at length the
style and title.of Anne of Denmark. The
length of the leaden chest [6 feet. 7 inches]
was interesting, as fully corroborating the
account of the Queen's remarkable stature.
It was then thought, probable that James'
coffin might Save been placed by that of his
mother, Mary Queen of Scots, and it was
accordingly "determined to make an entry
by removing the stones on the south side of
the southern aisle of the chapel, amongwhich one was marked 'Way.' This led to
an ample flight of stone steps, trending oh-
liquely under the Queen of Scots' tomb.—
Immediately at the foot of these • steps ap-
peared a large vault of brick 12, feet long
7 feet wide, and 6 feet high. A startling,
it may almost be said an awful, scene pre-
sented itself. , A vast pile of leaden coffins
rose from the floor ; some of full stature,
the larger number varying in form that of
the full-grown child to the merest. infant,
confusedly heaped upon the others, whilst
several urns of various shapes were tossed
about in irregular positions throughout the
vault." Amongst the first coffins recog-
nised was that of Henry Prime of Wales.
The lead of the head was shaped into rude
features, the legs and arms indicated, even
to the forms of the fingers and toes. On
the breast was soldered a leaden ease, evi-
dently containing the heart, and below
where his initials, with the Prince of
Wales's feathers, and the date of his death,
1612. In spite of the grim and deformed
aspect, oc•.asioned by the irregular collaps-
ing of the lead, there was a life -like ap-
pearance,
ppearance, which seemed like an endeavor to
recall the lamented heir of so much hope.
The coffin .of Mary Stuart, over whose
history so many battles have ,been, and,
continue ta be fought, was found saturated
with pitch, and deeply compressed by the
weight above, but the lead had not given
way. There was no need of verification,-
and the Dean remarks that the presence of
the fatal coffin 'whichhad receiyed _ the
headless corpse at Fotheringay was ` suf-
ficiently affecting without endeavoring to
penetrate further into its mournfull con-
tents. Prince Rupert also, slum'sers in the
vault, and Mary of Orange, the mother of
William III., and Anne Hyde, the mother
of William's wife, rnd Elizabeth, the Queen
of Hearts and of Bohemia. Spread above
all these were the diminutive coffins of no
fewer than eighteen infants of Queen Anne
and ten of James II., and amongst. these
last that of a hitherto unrecorded "James.
Earnley, natural son to King James the
Second." Another opened vault was that
which contained the bodies of. Mary Tudor
and her sister--
There was no disorder or decay, except that
the centering wood had fallen over the head .of
Elizabeth's coffin, and that the wood. case had
crumbled away at the -sides, and had drawn away
part of the decaying lid. .No coffin -plate could
be discovered, but fortunately the dim light fell
on a fragment of the lid slightly carved. This
led to a further search, andthe orignial inscriptt-
`tion was discovered. There was the,Tudor badge,
a full double rose, deeply but simply incised on
the middle of the cover ; on_ eaeh side the august.
inititals E. It, and below the memorable date
1603. The coffin -lid had been further decorated
with narrow moulded pannelling. The coffin
case was of inch -elm ; brit the ornamental lid
containing the inscription and panelling was of
fine oak, half an inch thick, laid on the elm cover.
The whole was covered with red silk velvet, of
which much remained attached to the wood."
The very last vault examined was that
which contained the object of which they
were in search. In Ben Johnson's. lines on
Shakspeare, he says-
"I Will not lodge thee by -
Chaucer or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie
A little further off to make thee room."
But James t., or his executors, had no
delicacy and the coffina of Henry VII., and
his Queen were not only made = to " lie
little 'further off," - but stripped of thei
wooden cases to pack the closer; and' mak
arnore room for that of the Scottish Solomon
the issue of the great-grandson Henry
Darnley, and their greatgrand-daughter
Mary Stuart. Dean Stanley considers that-
the
hanthe selection of this particular vault arose
from a deepdeephistorical instinct which
prompted the' founder 'of the Stuart dynasty
--" Scotsman and almost foreigner as he
was"—to ingraft his family and fate on that
of the ancient English stock through :which
he derived the title to the crown. Any-
how the fact is a curious one, and if it had
been publicly known at the time, it would
doubtless, have provoked a gold deal of
satire and ridicule, an indication of which
may be recognised in the amusing, if not
significent circumstance of one of the work-
men
orkmen having left his tobacco pipe behind
him in the grave of the author - of the
"Counterblast." Dean Stanley banished
this little fact to a note but gives his'•larg-
est type to what is hardly so interesting :-ej
-
" While the vault was yet open, there happ
ed to be a meetfng of high dignitaries of Church
and State, assembled on a. Royal Commission in
the Jerusalem Chamber, under the Presidency of
the Archbishop of Canterbury. It seemed but
fitting that the first visitgr to the tomb of the
Royal Scot should have been a Primate from be-
yond the Tweed. and it was with a profound in-
terest that the first Scotsman who had ever reach-
ed the highest office in the English Church bent
over the grave of the first Scotsman who had
mounted the throne of the English State."
The Dean might have made a better
paragraph out of his own emotions as a
Stanley in gazing on the coffin of .the victor
of Bosworth field.
Among the collateral discoveries made
in the prosecution of this search, . the most
interesting, perhaps -was that of the remains
of Elizabeth Claypole, Oliver Cromwell's
favorite daughter. By some happy acci-
dent they escaped what even Johnson calls
the " mean revenge ". of the servile sycoph-
ants at the Restoration, who, while they dug
up and gibbeted the putrefying carcase of
the greatest Man of Action, England ever
produced, little imagined they had allowed
an inscription to remain in which he was
described as the Mose Serene and Exalted
Prince Oliver, by the Grace of God, of,
England, Scotland, and Ireland, Protector"
—such being his designation on the coffin -
plate of the loved one who so shortly pre-
ceded her father to the grave.—" A pud

The new " London Times" Printing
Machine.
As the construction of the first steam
newspapers machine was due to the enter-
prise of the late Mr. Walter, so the con-
struction of the last and most improved
machine is due in like manner to the enter-
prise of his son. The new "Walter ma-
chine" is not, like Cowper's and Apple-
garth's. and Hoe's, the improvement of an
existing arrangement, but an almost en-
tirely original invention. Its principal
merits are its simplicity, its accurate work-
manship, its compactness, its speed, and its
econemy. While each of the ten -feeder
Hoe machines occupies a large and lofty
room, and requires 18 men to feed and
works it, the Walter machine occupies a
space of about 14 feet by 5, or less than
any newspaper machine yet introduced,
and only requires three lads to take away,
with half the attention of an overseer, who
easily superintends two of the machines
while at work. ,The Ho'• -,.nachine turns
out 7,000 impressions printed on both
sides in the hour ; but the Walter machine.
turns out 11,000 impressionscompleted in
the same time.
The new invention does not in the least
resemble any existing -printing machine,
unless it be the calenderirig machine,
which has possibly furnished the type of it.
At the printing end it looks litre a collect-
ion of small cylinders or rollers. The
paper, mounted on a h=uge reel as it comes
from the paper mill, goes in at one end in
and endless web, 8,300 yards in length,
seems to .fly through among the cylinders,
and issues `forth at the other in two descend-
ing torrents of sheets, accurately cut into
lengths. and printed on both - sides. The
rapidity wit h which it works may be inferr-
ed from the fact that the printing cylinders
(around which the stereotyped plates are
fixed) while making their impressions on
the paper, travel at the surprising speed of
200 revolutions a minute.
As the sheet passes inwards, it is first
damped on one side by being carried rapid-
ly over. a cylinder which revolves. in a
trough of cold water ; it then passes on to
the first.pair of printing and impression
cylinders, where it is printed on the other
side, then it passes on to the cutting cylin-
ders, which divide the web of now printed
paper into the proper lengths. The sheets
are rapidly conducted by tapes in a swing
frame, which, as it vibrates, delivers them
alternately on either side, in two apparent-
ly continuous streams of sheets, which are
rapidly thrown forward from the frame by
arocker, and deposited on the tables at
which the lads sit to receive them. .
The machine is almost entirely self-act-
ing, from the pumping up of the ink into
the ink box out of the cistern below stairs,
to the registering of the numbers as they
are printed, in the manager's room above.
Such, in a few words, is -the Vast invent-
ion made in connection with newspaper
printing, which reflects no little credit on
the enterprise of Mr. Walter and the in-
ventive skill of the gentlemen 01 the staff—
Times for it has been entirely.- designed on
the premises—to him he has instrusted- its
'execution.
