The ANCESTORS OF GENERAL MCCLELLAN.
William Nesbitt, of New York, Scotch
man, says, in communication to one of the
New York papers;
By accounts have lately received from
Kirkcudbright-my native place. learn
that General Mcclellan is descendant of a
very ancient and illustrious Galloway family
the McClellans of Kirkcudbright and Rom
bie allied to the ancient " Knights of Loeb.
invar." The families were ennobled by
Charles l. in 1888, the then representative,
Sir Robert eGlellan, Of Bombie, being Gre
ated peer under the title of Lord Kirkcud-
bright. The last Lord of that name died
about thirty years ago in rather reduced cir.
cumstances, leaving no issue. The title is
now extinct The ruins of the old family
castle now form the most conspicuous object
in the ancient burg of Kirkcudbright, on tho
banks of the river Dee. Many of the deeds
of the McClellans are still recounted in the
legendary lore of the district. The name of
Mcclellan has always been associated with
all that is noble, patriotic and daring, and
am proud to think that in the person of the
noble American scion ii is still so. Sir Will
liam Mcclellan, an ancestor of the above
family, also fell at Flodden.

persons in Great Britain are styled lords who

by courtesy, and there are certain Irish and
Scotch peers who are not peers of the realm.
Lord Palmerston, for example, is an Irish

The impenetrability of the rhinoceros' hide
is stated by recent English hunters to be a
fable, which arose solely from the fact that
walking sticks and whip-stocks as hard as
horn are prepared from it by tedious pro-
cess among the natives of countries which the
animal inhabits. A common buck shot will,
in reality. go through the hide with perfect
ease. The same invulnerability has been
asserted of the alligator, and it has been dis
proved by killing the monster with charge
of bird-shot fred into his right side, though
the heart, the eye and the vent are always
mentioned as his only vulnerable spots.
