ed by such a man. He recently paid a
visit to the Earl of Ayesford,at Packing
ton Hall, Warwickshrc. and the local
newspapers give an eloquent account of
the manner in which the noble Earl en-
tertained his princely guests. The first
day was devoted to rabbit shooting His
Royal Highness and eight other gentle
men, each armed with double-barreled
guu, aud followed by an attendant with
another gun ready loaded, went out into
his lordship'S covers in a heavy rain, and
butchered with such diligence the little
animals which the beaters' started from
their hiding places, that by nightfall they
had accumulated heap of 79S carcasses.
His Royal t1ighness spent the second day
in killing pheasants; aud it is to be hoped
that his noble entertainer had some fresh
form Of slaughter in readiness for him on
the day following.
And this is the young man for whose
recovery from sickness all of England
was fasting and praying few months
ago. Dire calamities to the country were
predicted if he died. If he had not re-
covered 795 rabbits would still be at
large, and that might have been bad for

MEXICAN RAILwAYs.-The railway
between the City of Mexico and Vera
Cruz is nearly completed, and its openings
will be celebrated with extraordinary foo-
tivtios along the whole line. The distance
is $50 miles from Mexico across the
mountains to Acapulco, on the Pacific, it
is some 300 miles, and the roads is to be
pushed forward till the line is completed
from sea to sea. Within few years, in
all probability, line will be completed
from the capital northward to the Rio
Grande, connecting with line now build
ing from the Rio Grande to Denver, in
Colorado, thus giving a continuous line of
railway connections between the City Of
New York. Gen Rosecrans is pushing
his project for line between California
and the City of Mexico, and doubtless
will succeed in it. By this line, when
completed, With others now in course OF
construction on the Pacific slope.a traveller
will be able to go from New York by rail,
via Texas, to the Mexican Capital, and
thence northward by rail to San Francis
co, and thence to Oregon, and thence by
our Northern Pacific road, back to New
York again.

POWER OF MEMoRY.-Dr. johnson, it
is said,ncver forgot anything he had seen,
heard or read. Barke, Clarendon, Glib
hon, Locke, ,Tillotson, were all distinguish
ed for strength Of memory. When allud
ing to this subject Sir William Hamilton
observes For intellectual power of the
highest order none were distinguished
above Grotius and Iascal; Grotius and
Pascal forgot nothing they had ever read
or thought. Lcbnitz and Euler were
not less celebrated for their Intelligence
than for their memory and both could
repeat the whole Of the ".Eneid." Dom
ellus knew the "Dorpus Juris" by heart /;
and yet he was one Of the proloundest
and most original spectators in jurispru
denca. Ben Jonson tells us that he could
repeat all that he had ever written, aud
whole books that he had read. Themis-
tocles couldcall by their names the twen-
ty thousand citizens of Athons. Cyrus
is reported to have known the name of
every soldier in his army. Hortensius
(after Cicero the greatest orator of Rome)
after sitting whole day at public sale,
correctly enunciated from memory all the
things sold, their prices and the names
of their purchasers. Niebuhr, the his
torian, was no less distinguished for his
memory than for his acuteness. In his
youth he was employed in one Of the pub
lie offices Of Denmark. Part Of book
of accounts having been destroyed, he re-
stored it by an effort of memory.

Gen. Washington's Farm.

The farm of General Washington a.
Mount Vernon, contained in his days ten
thousand acres of land in one body
equal to about fifteen square miles. A
great portion Of it was a vast valley or
basin surrounded by range Of hills a
third of 1t was a neck of land on the Po-
tomac river, with Little Hunting Greek
Bay on the cast and Dogne Creek Bay
on the west. These creeks are navigable
for about two and half miles up from
the river channel, and certainly would
have aiTord.d the General great facilities,
as they now do our farmers, in boating
in landing manure or fertilizers on the
ground but it is not probable that the
General did anything at this. 1t was di-
vided into farms or fields, Of convenient
sizes, by deep bitches which may be
traced now, and showing that one of them
contained a. much as 800 acres These
fields were situated at distance of two,
three aud FIVE miles from the mansion
house. The walls Of a sixteen square
barn are now standing, and is quite a
curiosity 1t was made of brick and
quite large, situated three miles from his
residence. He had two grist mills on the
place, one run by water-power, having, |
judge, a twelve foot wheel, and race
two miles in length. The mills the foun-
dation walls Of which are standing were
at the head OF the Dogne Greek Bay
and it is supposed that boats ran right to
the mill door. The other mill is said to
have been propelled by oxen or horses,
The General delighted to visit the farms
above spoken of every day in pleasant
weather, and was constantly engaged in
making experiments for the Improvement
of agriculture.
Some idea of the extent of his farming
operations may be formed from the fol.
lowing facts In 1877 he had $50 acres
in grass, sowed 600 bushels of oats, 700
acres of wheat, AMI as much more in corn
barley, potatoes, beans, peas, etc, and
$50 acres with turnips. His stock con-
sisted Of 140 horses, ll2 COWS, 236 work.
ing oxen, heiiers and steers, and 500
sheep. He constantly employed 250
hands, and kept "a plows going during
The whole year, when the earth and the
state OF the weather would permit. 10
1880 he slaughtered $50 hogs Il hope not
the "Virginia Pine Rooters'') for the use
Of his own family, and for provisions for
his negroes. for whose comfort he had
great regard.

SADNwIcH IsLANDs.-Letters from the
Sandwich Islands, dated Honolulu, 18th
ut, describing the situation after the
death of King Kamehameha, have been
received. The correspondent says that
the king, at the time of his death, weigh
ed 800 pounds. Chief Justice L. ii.
Allen acts as Regent. The rightful sue
cessor is William Lunalilo. but he is an
inveterate drinker and untitled for the
position. He is expecting to be made
king The next person in rank to William
is Pananti 1t is rumored that Mrs. C,
R. Bishop a good woman and lady in
the highest sense of the word, and belov-
ed and respected by natives and foreigers,
was offered the throne on Wednesday, but
declined Whether she can be induced
to change her mind, remains to be seen.
The natives seem to think of William, but
they would be satisfied with Mrs. Bishop.
There will doubtless be tremendous talk
in the Legislature on the 18th, and hot
words will probably pass between the
members.
