PERMANENT RESTING PLACE.
Few there are who have not heard
Of that most peculiar man OF his time,
Lorenzo Dow, who was an itinerart
Methodist preacher, whose parish was
the world, and whose actual habit was
to s'pray without ceasing.' He was
accustomed to enter any door and en-
gage with the household III pray cr,
and to advise religiously with the lott
ering crowds at street corners and
places of vicious rendezvous. Where
ever people could be found to listen,
there he was to be found, uttering the
message of salvation, and, as lie be-
came Known, the fear engendered by
his eccentricities gave way to a severe
appreciation and respect for his labor
of love.
For the past twenty four years the
remains of this remarkable man have
peacefully reposed in Holmsteads
Cemetery at Washington, but the re
moyal became necessary, last week,
in consequence Of the order Of the
Board Of Public Works condemning
the ground. A rivalry to secure the
remains of the great exhorter at once
arose between Il prominent Masonic
body of Come :tic.t, Dow having been
Il Nilsson, and the Methodist clergy of
Baltimore, where he had done good
service. The latter appealed to NV.
Corcoran, the wealthy banker, who
was an aimirer OF the deceased. He
generously responded, and donated a
choice site iii the beautiful cemetery
OIL the banks of Rock creek. where
the remains were inferred with appro-
pirate ceremonies last Friday. When
the old tomb was opened, the skeleton
was found to be we'll preserved, the
long, snowy beard lay naturally upon
the breast bone, and part Of the clo,h-
ing still held together. The history of
this interesting genius brims over with
interesting "reminiscences, not the least
important of which are his wonderful
historic predictions, many Of which
are said to have been realized.

Saturday she notified him CT her i'll
tention. He assente,l, and she went
away. The wife has 10 ill-Will for her
husband, neither has the husband for
the wife. That this is true is now
proved. Since Saturday they have
mutually agreed that papers Of separ-
alton should be drawn up III legal
form. 1t was proposed that the mat
ter be left to the respective lawyers Of
the two. Mr.. Tilton refused to do
tEis, and said he was content to leave
it in the hands of Mrs. Tilton's step
father, who, while he retains all his
affection for his daughter, has been
and still is q warm personal friend Of
Mr.. Tilton. With rare generosity Mr..
Tilton is having papers drawn deciding
the beautiful house and all that it coli
tains to Mrs. Tilton. This act is done
without solicitation. When the pa
pers OF separation are finished Mrs.
Tilton will return to her old home, and
lie who has shared it with her many
years goes out from it forever. leaving
behind him all the beautiful pictures,
rare books-everything except per
ilaps few books Of reference.
The children who are now with him
will remain in the house with their
mother. hIr. Tiltcn will take rooms
in New York.
CHARACTER IS CAPITAL.-What
you can effect depends on what YOU
are. You put your whole self into all
that you can do. If that be small,
and lean, and mean, your entire life
work is paltry, your words have 10
force, Your influence has no weight.
