serber in Noble county, Ohio. The last remnant OF
the American Revolution Of l776 is gone Yes! in
all probability the very last person in this country
whose life runs back to personal recollection ana
participation in that remarkable struggle What a
span of existence does it cover What conjunction
of dates-l 764 and 1868 Only think of it, Mr.. Gray
was twelve wears old when the Declaration of Indepen
sgned He was four years old when the rss
before Andrew jackson, John Quincy Adams or of
Walter Scott We cannot, without sigh OF regret,
put out of sight forever the last living man whose
presence was connecting link between ua and the
generation that gave country its political existence

Sam Ward, who is prominent in the Butler report,
is good deal of bird by all accounts and type OF
the generic Washington specuator. He has been all
over the world, speaks German, Spanish Italian ana
French; has visited Mexico and the Pacific coast
studied and become perfect in several Indian dialects
published volume of poems, shipped before the mast
and knows every considerable public man in the coun-
try He drinks only champagne, buys gold at the
rate of fifty thousand at stroke wears good Clothes
is moody takes life like Dutch canal IN Faster
week and looks upon Congress as sort of third house
to himself Such genius has no dislike OF Gen. But.
ler He recognises in the general thorough man of
the world and attributes all his dcsyncracles to the
slight accident of his New England birthplace The
more points Gen. Butler can make on Sam Ward, the
more Sam Ward admires Gen. Butler. They match
like an educated mule and Dan Rces learned stallion
The admiration that is lost between them is untathom
able. Letter to Chicago Tribune.

When the Pacific railroad is finished the tour of the
world can be made in two months and half. From
New York to San Francisco will take seven days. from
San Francisco to Hong Kong, by way of Yokohama,
twenty days; from Hong Kong by steamer TO Suez,
thirtytwo days; from Suez to Paris six days; from
Paris to New York ten days; in ALL seventy five days.
This can only be done, however, by continuous tray
cling and successful connections everywhere and the
adventurous voyager who attempts to accomplish the
whole distance i'll the time we have mentioned will be
pretty well used up when he gets back to New York
again. We advise him rather to make his arrange
that he stop awhile at the chief points of
interest on his way, such Yokohama, Hong Kong,
Manila, Bombay, Cairo, Malta, Leghorn, Marseilles,
Paris and London. This will require about twice as
much time as he will spend in actual travelling, and ten
times much money; but he will be well repaid for
his outlay, and in after days tell his children of
the wondrous sights and strange people he in his
famous Journey around the globe.

A new Paris fashion, which was started at Nine de
Rothschd's ball, is the adoption of garlands OF How
ers instead of microscopic bits of green stuck in false
hair. Natural flowers preferred, and these are
kept fresh all the evening by qulls beng lled WIN
fresh water and sealed at both ends. In these the
flower stalks bathe their tips. Pats of hair hide the

Ladies in Paris" Here is an extract from it. which
explains one OF the reasons why so many wealthy
American ladies like to reside permanently in Europe

lalr Americans prefer staying permanently in Europee
we Know OF one of the Look at that charm
ing orunett from New York. She is only twenty-five
years DID, though she looks good deal older Let
her go back to New York. and in five or six wears she
will look like an Europen of forty-fve let her
remain in Europe, and at the age of thirty she will
be just fresh and as attractive as she is now The
American ladies know this full we'll. They are struck
with the rosy looks of women of thirty-fve and
orty and they compare their appearance with that of
tnelr fair acquaintances of the age in America
Inc We Parisienne thinks, however, that American
women oesrous OF preserving their charms long as
possible, should settle in Scandinavia Scandinavian

DISCOVERY OF MONEY! discovery of valuabIs
treasure has been made at Kherson on the Black Sen
Tradition has preserved the recollection of the fact
that large hoard had been buried an estate, the
property of NJ Zuchowski, by the Polish Cossaeks
during the war with Russia, in 1910. The owners had
at various times caused excavations to be made, but
without success and the present possessor had old
well searched equally without result Not long ago he
sank shafts around the spot but fruitlessly. Lately
steward secretly employed two peasants to enlarge
these openings, and they at length upon large
jar filled with gold and silver coins, bearing principally
the efigy of Catherine II, and the former weighing
$50 pounds representing value of about 100000
francs. The faithess servant wished not to let the
fact be known, and promised his assistants share of
the spoil if they remained silent But his fears of be-
ing betrayed, and the dread of the men that they
might be sent to Siberia if the fact dscoverd, de-
cided them to remit the deposit to its legitimate owner

Cold SNAPS IN APRIL. Most persons are
willing to declare that the cold snap Of Sunday
was the most severe they ever experienced, in
April. But memory with regard to sensations
is not very retentive, nor indeed are sensations
very reliable, about such things. The writer
has seen corn fields covered deep with snow in
April, and on the eighth day Of that month, in
the year lS49, ice was formed in sufficient
quantity to stop the wheels Of a grist mill in
Prince William county, in this State. At the
a time vast numbers of trees were broken
down by the weight Of snow, which was more
than six inches deep. On most of these trees
the foliage was we'll developed.
