PASSING STRANGE.
Major General Returning from
the Boston Army Reunion Dies I'm
the TOmDs.
IN the New York Tribune. June 6.l

snc a.pstOh army AAeuuiOh DIeS HI
the TOmbs.
From the New York Tribune. June 6.l
A few weeks ago, Major General Chas.
Mundee left his home in Tallahassee,
Florida, to attend the reunion Of the
Army Of the Potoasc, at Boston. After
the reunion he returned to New York
and called on Generals Wright, Newton
and Hamilton, who had been his former
companions in arms. He was at that
time very finely dressed, but was un-
usually pale and nervous. Upon leaving
his friends he went to the low drinking
den, No. ITO West street, and bought a
partnership interest fer $3.50. He went
there regularly each day, taking no part
in the business of the shop, but sitting
quietly behind the bar. The whole trans
action occurred without the knowledge
of his friends, who supposed he had re-
turned home. On Friday three men en-
tered the saloon, and were waited on by
the partner of General Mundee. After
quitting one of them declared he had
been robbed, went out for an officer, and
had the barkeeper arrested. The fol-
lowing morning Mundee was also ar
rested on a charge of grand larceny, and
conducted to the Tombs. About eight
o clock that night he was seized with
commissions, and died within two hours.
The deceased was a man of great
wealth and high standing, and had been
an officer in the regular army OF the
United States for twenty years. His
friends can account for his conduct only
on the ground that he was insane. Gen
eral Hamilton declares that while with
him in the army he never was an intern
perate man, and was always highly es-
teemed by his fellow officers. He was
forty-four years of age, and leaves a
wife and six children When his friends
saw the body at the Toombs it was
clothed in very coarse garments, and a
ring had been stolen from the hand.
The remains will be taken in charge by
Generals Newton, Wright, Shaler and
Hamilton, and forwarded to Tallahassee.

masonry.

In many respects, Masonry is mar
vel TO the world. 1t has lived with ages,
and be en- traveller with time. 1t has
seen tn rise of kingdoms and empires,
and look ed down on their ruins. 1t has
passed tn rough all the revolutions that
have conv .1lsed the world, unscathed in
a single Wit al part, or unshorn of one
beam of mo. .-al beauty; and still it lives
to dispense charities to the destitute,
consolation to the afflicted, and protee-
ton to the orphan. In the aggregate it
has never enrolled greater numbers in
its ranks, more talent, more learning,
or more weight of character. 1t was
never more hOnOred or honorable than
at the present. And until humanity
shall lose its type Of character, and
morality, philanthropy, and benehcence
cease to be virtuous, its crowning ex-
cellence will continue TO be eXemplihed
in promoting the universal brotherhood
of man.

JUNE MEMORIES.
Il. wHITMORE.
Publisher and Proprietor.


The leaves drift down in forest ways;
The wind means with voice Of pain;
But through the dim October days,
Like chords of some sweet jaunting tune
The memories of happy June
Come back to me again
VI A June for evermore that lies.
"A pearl of purest, rarest bliss,
Shrined in delicious memories;
Sweet words and sweeter silence blent
With dewy twilights, and the scent
Of thick-fowered clematis;
Long cloudless morning hours that pass
Under oak shadows cool and dark;
The drone OF, insects in the grass Am
Through the hot noon day hushed and still
Pierced only by the trill
Of one up-soaring lark;
The plash of oars at even tide;
The low clear ripping of the stream
Against the boat. Faint breezes glide
With lisping rustic in the reeds,
And slowly from the bank recedes
n The sunsets violet gleam-
Lingering in mossy lanes to hear
The nightingale's first liquid notes
Pour rich and full. From meadows near,
Mown newly, fragrant breaths arise;
The moon across the tranquil skies
A globe Of silver floats.
And all through the long summer days
MY heart thrills to the fervent tones
Of one loved voice; a tender gaze
Follows me ever. Strangely bright
Life lies beneath loves mystic light.
But now the wild wind means.
From their dead stalks the flowers are gone
The leaves are swept by autumn rain;
| watch in silence and alone;
And by the wood fires reddening blaze.
The memories of the sweet June days
Come back to me again.

HOW n Nevada German Went HON
Ito Germany.

How n Nevada German Went Home
ITO Germany.
A Virginia City (Nevada) paper says;
A. Hanak and wife have just returned to
this city, after an absence of nearly
seven months in Europe, on visit to
the "old folks at home" in Bohemia.
Twenty-Five years had elapsed since Mr..
Hanak left his father roof and his ma
tive village, yet he found that in all this
time but three new houses had been
erected in the town. His old father and
mother still lived in the old house in
which he was born. The same old furni-
ture still stood as he had left it, and he
slept in the same old bed he had occu-
pied when boy. In that house and in
that little old town nothing but the peo-
pie had changed in appearance. Mr..
Hanak even found his fathers wedding
coat in its old place, and looking as well
as when he was child.
So long had Mr.. Hanak been absent
from the land of his birth that he could
not speak his native language on his re-
turn, but was obliged to converse in
German, though in a few weeks he i'm
proved to such an extent that he was
able to understand nearly all that was
said in his native tongue. Mr. Hanak
rode into his native village with an old
acquaintance who had never left the
town, but there was nothing new for this
man to point out, except it might have
been the three new houses which quar-
ter of a century had added to the place.
As they passed along the street this man
said: "There comes your father" Mr..
Hanak looked and saw an old man with
white hair and beard " Is that my
father?" he asked. "That is your
father" answered his friend. APP
preaching his father, he shook hands
with him, saying, How do you do2
a. How do you do, sir2" said the old
man. "Then, father, you do not know
me? / am your son" My AdOlphe2 "
cried the old man, and took him in his
arms. Soon after, he said: "Well, my
son, am glad to see one sensible man
coming from America. Your dress is
1lain and neat, and you are not covered
v ith chains, and rings, and pins.

FROM tne new lOTk neIdlu.l
After a long exile, after such grand
achievements in literature, after his
triumphal return on the fall of the
empire, to be hunted down by his own
infuriated countrymen, to be expelled
from his place Of refuge and sent forth
a homeless wanderer in the world, can
there be sadder fate for one of his
frame of mind2 With the death of a
son, poor old man, he lost what remnant
Of common sense he had left him, and
ever since the world has been amused
by those red-Aaming manifestoes, the
offspring of his heated brain. Still we
look upon. the action of the Belgian
government as tyrannical in the ex-
treme. 1t was not actuated by a sense
of justice, but by a sense of fear-fear
that the fugitive Communists might find
a congenial field for the propagation of
their theories among the working men of
Belgium. The same motive has prob
ably actuated the Italian government in
the arrest of the Parisians who
may enter Italy.

The Sequel 10 Miss Wilson's Recent
Real Estate Purchases-The New
American Citizen from EurOpe-A
Love Match.
From the New York SUM-
The steamer Scotia, which arrived at
this port on the 26th of April last,
brought from London the future husband
of that charming songstress Miss Chris
tine Nilsson. The modest young gem
tleman arrived on the day of the first
performance of the late season of Italian
opera, which he attended. On the next
day he set out for the West in search of
Miss Nilsson, and found her in Chicago
The gentlemah's name is A. Rouzand
He was recently engaged in commercial
business in London. In future he will
try his fortune in the commercial mart
Of this city.
Mr.. Rouzand is accompanied to this
country by Colonel Snow, an English
gentleman, formerly, if not now, of the
British army. Mr.. Rouzand is about
twenty-eight years DID, of middlng size,
chestnut hair, sandy whiskers worn in
English style, of good presence, rather
fine looking, and is an accomplished
gentleman, and socially very pleasant.
To make long story short, this little
affair between Miss Nilsson and Rouzand
is a genuine love match. This fact will
explain the recent operations Of Miss
Nilsson in real estate, in Peoria, ILL.,,
and Boston. When the happy couple
are to be made one is not within our
knowledge. Soon, it is presumed They
returned to this city on Tuesday, accom-
panied by Miss Richardson, travelling
companion of Miss Nilsson, Colonel
Snow and Max Strakosch, and are tenn
porarily residing at the Everett House.
On Wednesday evening DR.. and Mrs
Doremus entertained Miss Nilsson and
Mr.. Rouzand at dinner at their residence
in Fourth avenue Among the guests
were Miss Richardson, Colonel Snow,
Mr.. Jarrett, the London manager, and
Mr.. Welles, the musical and dramatic
writer of the Evening Mail.
In few days Miss Nilsson, with her
companion, Miss Richardson, accom-
panied by Rouzand and Colonel Snow,
and DR.. and Mrs. Doremus, will 90 up
to West Point to attend the annual ex-
animation at the Military Academy.
They will then &C to Niagara Falls and
return to Saratoga by way of Lake
George. After tarrying awhile at the
Springs, the party will perhaps visit
Newport, and perhaps the White Noun
tains or Long Branch.

According to the New York Grocer,
there are sent out of New York city an
nually an army of twenty-five thousand
commercial drummers. These average
at least $500 each in salary and com
missions, or $3S, ,OOO, 600 paid to the whole
number in salaries. If to this we add
their travelling expenses, 81 per day, and
estimating that they are upon the road
one hundred and fifty days during the
year, we have an item Of Sl5,OOO,O00
more, and an aggregate Of $4,000, 900,
which is added to the price Of the goods
sold. As there are about 5000 retail
stores in the country which the goods
eventually reach, we find every dealer
taxed $40 per year to sustain the army
Of drummers from New York.
