Young New York in the Vatican.
The New York correspondent OF the
Boston Journal tells this story:

The New York correspondent OF the
Boston Journal tells this story:
One of our most eminent brokers has
portion of his family travelling in Eu-
rope. Among them is young son, who
is preparing by travel to join his broth
ers in the business OF the street. In
company with some friends he made one
of the party who were to have an audi
ence with the Pope. AS is well known,
these audiences are held in the Library
of the Vatican. The visitors who are to
have the honor OF an interview are
ranged on either side, single file. The
Pope passes down the line. As he passes
slowly along devout Catholics kneel and
kiss the slipper; quasi Catholics kneel
and kiss the hand Of His Holiness.
Others stand and salute the hand which
is extended to all. The young New
Yorker was the last on the line. He did
not kneel to kiss the shoe, nor did he
kiss the outstretched hand, but seized
it, and gave it q good, hearty Yankee
shake. The CONSERVATION at the audaci-
ty of the young man was very marked.
The Pope, who was evidently taken by
surprise, was the first to recover himself.
He shook bis finger rouguishly at the
youth, laid his hand on his shoulder and
said "You are from New York, young
man, I presume ?" ~ am New
Yorker" was the reply. "Ithought so,
said the Pontiff, as he passed on, intima-
ting that New Yorker was quite daring
enough for anything. When questioned
how he dared do such thing, Young
America replied dare do it ? 1 shook
hands with Gen. Grant and Gen. Scott,
and why should l not shake hands with
the Pope as with any other eminent
man ?" The affair is quite the talk of
the street, where the young man is well
known. It will make him quite as
famous as the act OF Raleigh when he
flung his cloak in the mud before Queen
Bess.

TIE STROKE OF APoPLExT which
caused the death OF ex-senator Howard,
of Michigan, attacked him while he was
assisting some worbmen in cutting down
large tree which stood near his house,
and almost upon the line between his LOT
and the one adjoining. 1t was necessary
to make the tree fall in certain direc.
ton, so that it might not fall upon his
neighbours house or his own. For this
purpose long rope had been attached
near the top OF the tree, and when the
tree had been nearly chopped off at its
base, Mr.. Howard and the workmen were
tugging at the rope to make the tree fall
as they desired. Mr.. Howard said
"Now then, long pull, and strong
pull, and pull all together" and was
e1erting his physicol strength to the ut
most, when he fell down unconscious,
The exertion OF tugging at the rope had
burst blood vessel in the brain, which
had superinduced as apoplectic attack.
During the afternoon he partially re-
covered consciousness, when is was dis
covered that his right side was paralyzed
In this condition he fingered until his
death.

The Death of Father TAYLOR.

The Boston Traveller thus describes
how Father Taylor, the sailors friend
died at was high water between II
and II o'clock last night, and Father
Taylor passed away on the first quarter
ebb at twenty minutes past midnight.
Sailors generally believe that when q
man dies natural death he will breathe
his last during the ebb tide, and we note
this fact for their information. On the
23d of last month he was in the enjoy
ment OF his usual health, and walked
alone through North-square and Prince
street. Although his faithful friend Mr..
Bridget, one OF the deacons Of the Bethel,
rarely lost sight OF him during the past
two years, yet Mr.. Taylor never desired
it to be inferred that he was incapable Of
taking care of himself. Aware of this
peculiarly, no apparent restraint was
ever placed on him. About ten days ago
he felt himself too feeble to sit up, and
though he tried hard, had to give in ut
last. He looked to those who served
him, and seemed to say in broken whis-
pers. I'm but a hulk my time has
come : and then with kindly smile he
would look at Brother Bridget and nod
AS much as to say, know you, if I
can't say so. 1t was only in stray words
that he spoke, and those around him
could rarely combine them in any con-
nected utterance. A few hours before
his departure his breathing became very
feeble, and he slept his life away without
o groan or sigh. He was seventy
seven years, three months and twelve
days old"

It's evident that Just now there is no
subject more full of interest to the public
than Life Insurance, and nothing that
concerns them more than the merits of
the various Lie companiesin the United
States.
In reviewing the career of these in
situations, we have been much struck
with the extraordinary onward progress
of the Equitable Life of New York, and
the marked success which has attended
the management of its affairs and we
feel that we are doing a posiirs good by
giving in brief detail the points which
entities it to the first consideration OF
the insuring public.
The Equitable now occupies the lead
ing position in respect to the amount OF
new annual business, as will be seen by

her to the altar. Reaching her house,
he was informed that she had been help

The Marquis de vallon tried, after the
battle Of Orleans, to revive the order of
Jehu, a secret society, formed during the
occupation OF France by the allied armies,
by Frenchmen who had sworn to kill as
many Cossacks as possible. This time
the victims of the Jehus were to be the
Prussian Uhlans. But the first raid
which Vallon and his Jehus made upon q
village occupied by thirty UhlGns,
proved disastrous to them and their Or
der. The Uhlans had been warned Of
the approach OF the enemy, and sudden.
" surrounded WALTON and his men. Al
ter slight resistance they surrendered.
WALTON and his two aids were shot on the
spot, and the other Jehus were sent
home after being severely logged on the
hare back After that nothing further
was heard OF the order.
