orted to the British Association Aug. 16, 1872, and in 1873 he received the patron's medal of the Royal Geographical Society. He was commissioned by the proprietors of the New York Herald and the London Telegraph to explore the lake region of Central Africa. He set out from the eastern coast in November, 1874, with 300 men. When he reached the Victoria Nyanza Lake (Feb. 27, 1875), he had lost 194 men by death or desertion. He circumnavigated the lake, covering about 1,000 miles in the voyage. After exploring that interior region, he entered upon the Congo River and made a most perilous and exciting voyage down the stream. Subsequently he established the Congo Free State, and at the head of another African expedition effected the rescue of Emin Pasha. He returned to England in May, 1890, and in 1895 was elected to Parliament as a Liberal Unionist. His principal publications are How I found Livingstone: through the dark continent; and The Congo and the founding of its free State.

raging, and he was almost in despair. Montpellier, a city of fifty thousand inhabitants in 1859, lies on the Gulf of Lyons, within easy distance from Cette on the west, and Nimes and Arles to the east. It is aside from the track of tourists, and is now less than formerly the resort of invalids, who are repelled by its variable climate and its shadeless and dusty streets. It has a fine gallery, and is distinguished for an old university. The University of Montpellier celebrated, in May, 1890, the completion of its sixth century; and an account of the fetes is given by Dr. D. C. Gilman in the New York Nation, June 19, 1890. The favorite resort of the people is the Promenade du Peyrou, an extensive terrace planted with limetrees, decorated with a triumphal arch, an equestrian statue of Louis XIV., and the Chateau d'eau, and commanding a view of the Mediterranean and the Cevennes. The way from the modern quarter, where the hotels are situated, to the Promenade was in 1859, and e

Valuable war relic. Muster roll of a Virginia Artillery Company. [Richmond times, May, 1890.] It belonged to Major Boggs' Twelfth Battalion—Composed of North Carolinians and Richmonders—Interesting date. About a week ago a letter addressed to the editor of the most prominent paper in Richmond was delivered to The Times. It came from Mr. William J. Cooper, of No. 41 1/2 west King street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He stated that he had an original muster roll of Company D, Twelfth Battalion Virginia Light Artillery, of which Captain Lewis H. Webb was in command, and wished to place it with the proper custodian. A letter from The Times resulted in an immediate reply from Mr. Cooper and the receipt of the document. He wrote that he wished to bestow it where it belonged. That many of his friends had been in the war, and one of them who paid a long visit to your city at that time brought it with him and presented it to me to show the poor quality of paper which the peopl
