When Humboldt offered his arm to the
honored matrcn, Madame Mendelssohn, who
was much older than he was, to table, it wcs
with gallantry that would have done credit
to youth. When one saw this aged couple
whose united ages amounted to one hundred
and seventy-eisht, cautiously and slowly, with
short steps, approaching, the fear could not be
banished of seeing them tripping over any
small object-a grain of sand or a straw
which might accidentally be in the way be-
tween the reception and dining-rooms. At
table was perfect freedom from restraint.-
Humboldt ate with evident relish; not daint-
lily, but just the contrary; nor did he refuse
to take large draughts of the excellent wine.
All the time he kept up very interesting
conversation, in loud, distinct, quick and
lively voice. Though he had cause to be con-
terted with the state of his general health. he.
nevertheless, was accustomed to have medi-
cine at times, since the year l84S, from the
court physician, Schonlain. Humboldt often
expressed his JOY at never having telt the ne
cesslty, during DIS whole life, of visitinga wa
terinS place. Although he maintained to a
hlSn age rare power, and often surprising
freshness Of intellect, it is undoubted that his
memory became much weaker during the last
two years OF his life. The correctness OF TINS
assertion is proved not only by the letters u
this period, which have in many cases t,ie
wrong date of the month or year. puS ny 'ne

Immediately after our return 10 berilh
from Higher Asia, we had the fortune 70 nave
with him one OF those scientific conversations
which one never forgets. The subject very
soon Turned 10 the boundary Of snow upon
tbe Himalavas; subject which had earlier
greatly interested him, and with which he was
ENGAGED for years. He was one of the first TO
adopt the discovery Of Webb and Moorcroft
about the year 1sl2-that the snow boundary
on the northern slope Of the HimaIayas was
higher than on the southern slope; and he
was one of the foremost in endeavoring to
find an explanation for this phenomenon.
This view was, however, by no means gener-
ally acknowledged as correct but found many
opponents, so that Humboldt became entang-
led in a series OF the most unpleasant scien-
titic controversies 1t gave us thel efore, much
pleasure to be able to communicate to him
how brilliantly the correctness Of his views
was proved. you are mistaken nv friend !

A Des Moines CORES pondent OF the
Dububuo Herald says Gov. Merrill
who has recently returned from
Washington, reports that Hon. j. +.
Wilson, of the first district, says he
will not accept the position Of attor,
ney General il Grants Cabinet, even
should the same be rendered him.
He assigns among other reasons the
hard labor required OF that officer,
and doubts his own qualifications,
from legal training and practice, to
properly discharge the duties of that
high position. The same writer ex-
presses the opinion that "the Des
Moines river land question is not SCI
tied. The settlers and other interest
cd will have full and complete inves.
tigation before the new Secretary Of
the Interior, and both parties will
have chance for the hearing of thcil

doubt that eventually the Supreme
Court of the United States will b.
called to decide upon and finally settle
the title to these river lands"

A Confidence Man Done for.

Purser Cowper, of the steamer Detroit,

place at Grand Haven yesterday, resulting
in the discontinue of confidence man. =
A gentleman of Milwaukee was at the
Haven OR his way home, when confidence
picked him up as victim upon whom to
practice bis wiIes. At first Milwaukee was
a little indignant that he sho Id be thought
green enough to bite at such hook, but
suddenly entered into the full spirit of the
thing: gulphed down the story Of conf
dence being on his way 10 Milwaukee with
q lot of goods. his having no small bills to
pay charges, etc., and took as gospel truth
the story that the draft was all right He
was willing to accommodate his newly found
friend, but he bad only 500 wher 1925
was wanted. Conile thought he could
manage with that, but again Milwaukee
wanted TO use some money, say $50. lie
would lend stranger $50, and confidence
still biting handed over $40, and taking
the century, he left the dock and disap-
pearcd over the river Shortly after Cow.

Humboldt and Willard Fillmore.

Humboldt and Willard Fillmore.
At the centennial celebration in Buffalo
Tuesday, ex presldent Millard Fillmore
gave an account of several meetings with
Alexander Won Humboldt, which he enjoy
ed at Berlin in 1855. He had sent his card
with letter of introduction from Baron
Gerolt, the preceding evening, expecting
nothing more than an invitation to call, as
Humboldt was then sc years DID, TO nv
surprise, said MIR. Fillmore, just as | had
finished my breakfast next morning. Baron
Humboldt was announced. He had come
down purposely to meet me, and he receiv-
ed me with a cordiality that put me entre-
ly at my ease. He was tail and stoutiy
built, with strongly marked German coun
tenance, his hair white and thin, slightly
stopping in his shoulders. with his chin
nearly resting upon his bosom as he stood,
but of a~post bengin and venerable aspect
and com handing dignity. Although he
spoke the English language, yet it was with
some difficulty that | could understand him
as he spoke with an accent, and the loss of
his teeth had evidently impaired his power
Of enunciation. After a short conversation
he proposed at once to accompany me TO
see the chef objects of interest In the city,
and in spite Of my protestations that |
could not ask such a favor, he srent most
of the day in showing me about the city
and pointing out thief curiosites. For q
man OF his age he was very active, and he
seemed to take as much interest In every
thing as though he was about SO and was
looking at them for the first time Some
few days after, l returned his call, aud
found him occupying rooms assigned him
-, IL l. &c l.
dam, and he was engaged in reading the
asst proofs of " k smos." asked him lift
bad been translated into English as far as
completed, and he said it had. inquired if
be had seen the translation, and he said he
had, ard it was very good. Though sitting
by table. | observed that when he wrote,
he wrote upon his knee, and as remarked
the singularity he said that he had been
compelled 20 much OF his life to use his
knee for writng-table, that the habit had
rendered it natural and easy He spoke
with interest IF his journey through the
United States in 1904 and of his visit to
president Jefferson. The room which he
occupied was evidently his work shop. 1t
was filled with books and maps, and such
Datural curosities as he had collected dur
ing a long life, and many of them were
very rare and curious indeed. 1t was per-
fec. museum for the man OF science, and be
kindly drew my attention to the objects of
the greatest interest. [ afterward met him
at dinner party given by the king at the
palace of Sans Souci, where the chief Dip
lomats and mobiles where assembled, and |
was struck with the Difference that was
paid him, not only by the king and queen,
but By all present.
