Death Of Hon. VIM. L. Marcy.

The late distinguished Secretary Of
State of the United States, VIM. Lar.
ned Marcy, died at Ballston Springs,
N. Y, at noon, on Saturday, July 4th.
He complained of slight stitch in his
side which had troubled him for some
time, and then walked about one-quar.
ter of a mile to DR.. Moore's, but not
finding the Dr., he returned to the no.
tel and went to his room, leaving an
order at the office that the DR.. should
be sent to him. DR.. NJ. soon arrived,
and upon going to his room, he found
him dead. His funeral was attended
at Albany on Wednesday the 18th
inst, on which occasion there was an
impressive military and civic display.
Mr.. Marcy was a native of Massa-
chusetts, born in Sturbridge, Worces-
ter County, fitted for college at Lei
cester Academy, graduated at Provi-
dence College in 1908, studied law in
or near Albany, N. Y, and was after
wards for some years editor of a pop
ular periodical. He has been Judge
of the Supreme Judicial Court of New
York, Governor of the same State,
o. S. Senator, Secretary of War and
Secretary of State Few men have
filled the last important station as
ably, and none with more entire sat
isfsction to the public.
When President Pierce assumed
the reins of government he invited
Mr.. Marcy to fill the highest office in
his gift. that of Secretary of State.
A better selection could not have been
made in the whole range of the Demo-
cratic party. He has been identified
with nearly all that was commendable
in the administration of Pierce, and
few of its blunders. 1t is we'll under
stood that the counsels of Marcy were
overruled in determining the the poll
cy of the administration upon the
Nebraska bill, and even upon some
questions Of foreign policy
which were within his special prov
ince. His career as statesman has
been marked by few mistakes, and he
had largely gained the confidence Of
the whole country by his ability, up
rightness and executive talent. His
death will be regarded as a public ca
lamity.

lady in New York, claims to be the wife
of our Bachelor President, Mr.. Buchanan
She isquite open and persistent in her claims
She has in a bed what she says are two children,
whom she claims are the Presidents children,
and nothing but the constant care of her friends
prevents her from going to Washington and
demanding to be placed in the White House
as the lawful occupant of the domestic depart
ment of that celebrated establishment. The
lady is in the Insane Asylum of Blackwell's
Island, and her children are two white cats,
which she has trained to such docility that she
keeps them in bed nearly all day sleeping be-
tween sheets, on nice clean pillow cases, all
tucked in like children, with caps on their
heads. All the visitors call on Mrs. Buchanan,
see her cats, and they allow the clothes to be
turned down and view taken without an ef-
fort to rise from their couch. The name Of one
of the cats is John c. Fremont, the other is
Alexander Hamilton.

POLAR BEARs.-Whalemen have opportuni-
ties to become acquainted with the habits of
these singular animals that others do not. Cap
tain Walker, of the South America, relates a
fact which is worth repeating. He found two
polar bears, female with her cub, swimming
in the Artic Ocean, forty miles from land.
And Capt. Murdock, of the Nassau, states that
he shot one fifty miles from land. During
these long passages across seas and bays, which
must take several days, they live on their own
hair, or grease attached to it, as the hair is
found in rolls in their stomachs when killed.
Capt. Walker took barrel of bears oil from
the cub which he killed.
