IN AlENORLAM.

Many a heart was saddened, and q large cir
Gle of dear friends were painfully shocked, last
Saturday morning, by reading in THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN Of the sudden death of Charles
Gillett Gregory, q clerk in the General Land
Office. Mr.. Gregory was Of New York fam
lily, god-sOn Of Mr.. Gillett, formerly Of the
Albany Argus, and relative also of the late
Edwin Croswell, for many years editor OF the
same paper. He was for q short time since the
war engaged in business in Richmond, Virginia,
and not meeting with success in that locality,
came TO this city, where his father, Mr.. E. H.
Gregory, and his uncle, Mr.. II. !. Gregory,
have resided for many years. Having, through
the influence of friends, obtained temporary
employment IN the General Land Office about
three years ago, Mr.. Gregory performed the
duties devolying upon him with such rare hdel-
| ity and industry As to secure permanent ap-
pOintment solely upon his merits. He contin-
ued his laboTs without intermission until about
three weeks since, when his health and mind
both suddenly yielded to the pressure, and,
notwithstanding all that family and friends
could do, he gradually sunk into the arms Of
death on Friday last, all unconscious of the
deep anguish and poignant sorrow Of his young
wife and doting parents. His untimely end is
deeply mourDed by an attached circle Of friends
| in the Land Once, and also in the Union Meth
odist chapel, Of which church be was 9 con-
sistent and exemplary member. His funeral
services, which were largely attended, were
performed BY his pastor, Rev. Mr.. Owen, and
his remains were deposited IN the family vault
at Alexandria, Virginia.

IgslULT WITH A RAZOR.

Yesterday afternoon fracas occurred at the
barber-shop Of Paul Bonivarre, on Pennsylvania
avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh streets,
during which anelderly man, named Boniyarre,
assaulted Detectives Coomes with razor, but
before any damage could be committed he was
taken into custody by the Detective and lodged
In the Central gusrd-hous from which he was
afterwards released ou collateral for his ap-
pearance at the Police Court to-day,

WATERING PLACE COMFORTS

A correspondent who is off at a watering
place enjoying himself writes: "The beds are
simply horrible, and you don't know at mid
night whether you are lying on corn-cobs, tacks
or the remnants Of junk shop. The cane
bottom chair is bottomless, the table refuses to
revolve on its own axis, and the looking glass
causes you TO start back with terror. There is
a washstand, but It has been washed SO often
that 1t is weak, and requires q couple Of bricks
to hold it up in addition to fits attenusted legs.
The soap refuses to evince symptomsOf hydro
phobia, and If you accidentally breathe on the
towels they become saturated. But these mat
ters are trivial compared with the payment Of
81 so per day."

All who present themselves, from the youngest

he had given Mrs. MOWatt the information. He
mentioned several instances, one in particular,
where an artist be know had taken the cast Of the
leg and foot Of a titled lady for drawing room
ornament. He further added: 1T was not at all
an extraordinary occurrence, or one likely TO ex+
cite surprise or remark
"One Is h8ppy in the knowledge that although
some of our women, particularly those who have
been to Europe. think It elegant and distingue to
wear their dresses so low that little is len TO the
imagination as to the formation Of the upper part
Of their bodies, they have not yet reached the
point their English sisters have arrived In the
selection Of parloT ornaments. Perhaps their
failure in this respect may be owing to the b.
sence Of beauty in foot and limb, French artist
having lately declared that this was great de-
hciency In American women. Few have faith IN
the beauty that Is unseen. Madame de Stssl said
her only beauty was her arm, and this Was not
given her that she light conceal It; so she always
had 1t uncovered. Pauline Bonaparte, the little
