AROUND THE WoRLD.-Soon after the
retirement of Hon. VIM. H. Seward from
the head of the State Department, at the
close of Andrew Johnson's Presidential
term, he took trip around the world,
going west across the American continent
from New York to San Francisco; thence
across the broad Pacific to Asia, and
thence to Europe, visiting in his journey
the crowned heads of many countries
and all the noted localities in the wide
world. Crossing the Atlantic, he reach
ed his starting point. After retiring
from the State Department, he never re-
entered public life, but lived in retire
ment, devoting the remainder of his
eventful life to literary pursuits, the
greatest Of his efforts being the account
of his travels around the world, which
he was spared to complete. Mr.. Seward
was ripe scholar, and close observer
of men and things; his position in his
own country insured his admission to
the highest circles in every land he visit
ed. He therefore had every opportunity
to obtain correct and reliable data, and
those acquainted with his past history
need not be reminded that his work is a
complete and interesting history of the
many scenes witnessed by him in his
travels. John Enais ("Peanuts ~ is
the agent in this place for the sale Of this
work. Sold by subscription. The en-
cravings, representing the places, people,
scenes and customs, of all the countries
visited by the eminent traveller, of which
there will be nearly 300, including sixty
full-page illustrations, and an accurate
portrait on steel, have cost the publisher
about $4,000.
SHOOTING ScRApE-Yesterday morning
the monotony was broken by shooting
scrape near the corner of Main and
Meadow Valley streets, which, We may
as we'll state at the outset, was closed
without any serious result. George A.
Davis was holding forth as usual near
his general auctioneer stamping ground,
when two men came along, one of whom
made remarks of q jeering nature, to
which Davis took exceptions. The man
passed into Wand's saloon, and one of
them peeped through the partly closed
door, as if to annoy Davis. Davis went
inside. and remained there while the
other two drank. They went off, but
soon one of them returned and began to
abuse Davis, who thereupon drew his
pistol, but before he could bring it to
bear for proper execution, the other
caught his arm, and so the two shots
failed to do any execution-one entering
the door step and the other striking
elsewhere. Officer Boyd arrested Davis
and took him before Justice Stouten-
burgh, who admitted him TO bail in the
sum of $1,000 for his appearance this
morning. Davis gave the required bail,
and was set at liberty.
