in his letter of the 21st ult., writes as follows
concerning the distribution of medals, etc:
IS :" The official awards of the Crystal Palace

bestowed with such reckless profuseness as these
have been, carry with them no weight whatever.
They are Of a price with the niggardly arrange

The whole number of silver medals is us.

FoRaIvE YouR EHEMIEs.--An excellent story
is told us Of the elder Kean BY one who was an
ardent admirer Of him when living, and an en-
thusiastic eulogist Of him now that he is dead.
As the great actor sat alone one day in his room,
in q Philadelphia hotel with his favorite books
around him, and bottle of the best cognac by
his side, an old friend Of his, who in former
years had been quite dissipated, and was now
an enthusiastic exponent in the cause Of tenn
perance, entred the room, and quietly seating
himself by Mr.. Kean, with melancholy but
determined countenance, spoke of its effect:
Mr.. Keaa, you have an enemy !" g Sir 2"
calculated the great ttragedian. ssYes, sir, You
have and he is terrible one. He is following
close upon you. Each day he is STRENGTHENING
his preparatory measures for your destruction
Day and night he is near you, and very soon he
will strike . sure blow" Mr.. K. in an agita-
ted manner replied Z don't know. what yon
mean, sir; never in my life injured man.
An enemy, sir! Who is he!. "Therel" re-.
joined his friend, pointing to the bottle, and in
the same voice exclaimed, sslet me dash him to
pieces" As he was about to seize the unknown
enemy, Mr.. Kean, his countenance rekindling
with happy thought, and pressing the bottle
70 his heart, exclaimed in quick and agitated
manner 7" Hold the good book teaches US
