UNITED STATES Bonds IN EUROPE.
The Echo de la Bourse, published in
Paris, has an interesting article on
the operations in the United States
Bonds in France and Germany. This
journal states that Of upwards of
$500, 1000, 900 worth of American secu-
rites held in Europe. four-ffths, at
least, are held in Germany. The
daily sales of United States Bonds at
Frankfort, Hamburg, Bremen and
Berlin will, it is asserted, compare
favorably with the transactions in
Wall street, and at Rotterdam and
Vienna the sales are larger than in
London. In Paris, the purchases are
small, and are principally effected by
Americans residing in or passing
through that city. The Echo states,
however, that while the European Sc
curities have fuctuated greatly in
value; the United States bonds con-
tinue to advance steadily, and at pre-
sent are quoted on the Bourse at n
high figure. This appreciation of
the high value of American securities
is attributed to the Monthly Circular,
issued by the Treasury Department,
showing the financial condition of
the, country, and which is sent to all
the bankers of Europe.

after an illness of few days, from
m attack of paralysis. Mr.. Davis

but had resided nearly half q century
in Columbia, and for many years
successfully carried on carriage ma
nufactory here. By his energy and
attention to business, he amassed a
large fortune, including O number of
valuable houses in the business por-
tion of Columbia. He retired from
active business many years ago. In
the terrible fire of 1865. Mr.. Davis
lost very heavily. His age was about
siXty-nine. He leaves n wife and
several children and grand children,
besides many friends, to mourn his
loss.

DEATH or 4 MIsER The end IL
a wretched Life is chronicled 81 tbe
New York papers Of yesterday.
Peter Hendrickson, a man seven
ty-fye years Of age, was found
dead ia his bed al a house in which
he had for years lived a SOLITARY
Life. TIE had apparently struggled
long in agony, and seemed To have
yielded up his spirit with greater
reluctance than could have been
inferred from the niggardly provi-
sion that he had made to keen soul
and body together. The remains
OF the unhappy mans last meal,
consisting OF water and mouldv
crusts, were found carefully laid
aside to serve for breakfast which
he was doomed never to partak8
Of. Upon his body were found
$40 In $40 bills, and five bank
books representing deposits to tha
over $1,000. From the
evidence deduced at the Coroners
inquest il appears t tIAgasB IsEEeilelfie
son formerly pursued the business
Of q junk dealer, in which he made
q considerable amount of MONEY!
he owned the house Ia which he
died, besides several other tene-
ments and lots Id the vicinity.
Being oyertaken witha inhrmities,
and unable longer to continue ae-
lively in business, he secluded him
self ia a bare unfurnished room.

7ears) upon bread and water. His
