ceased to be a housekeeper, rented his residence,
and gone elsewhere. The party who succeeded
TO the occupancy has been greatly annoyed by
the daily calls of those who come for assistance
in various forms. He has at length resorted to
a novel expedient, which has served perhaps
double purpose, viz.-frst, to relieve him from
bores: second, to let the beggars see themselves
as others see them. And we may add tLat he
has given the public an insight into what

subject of this notice, lived in Wash

of 1916, He was page to Congress
and was educated at the Washington
Seminary. He was o very accom-

to rule. After many adventures and
wanderings he went to China, where
he became commander-in-chief of an
army of $4,000 disciplined men, mostly
Europeans and Americans, which po-
sition he regarded as the first step to
a throne. In writing home of his ele-
vation, he declared that he would soon
find himself the ruler of China. Some
ten months ago, after resigning his
command under the Imperialist Gov
ernment, he entered the services of the
Confederates, and was captured and
drowned. While in favor with the Inn

Longstreet, Immediately after this
battle, urged his promotion, saying af-

this great Captain his most glorious

that achieved his mighty victory,
Hoods last fight under Lee was at

Charlottesville, and the first defeat OF
that able military chief. Here Hood
received his first severe wound, and
