Correspondents.
Yesterday afternoon one of our old.
est citizens who is well known to Us
all, Roswell Thomp son, died very sud.
denly from a fit of appoplexy. He had
arrived at the ripe age of 63 years, and
was until the momeat- of his death
supposed to be enjoying good health
A short time before his death he wat
on the streets and remarked to some
of his friends that he was feeling better
than he had for some time. He went
to his residence, partook of his dinner
and was about to lie down to sleep a
short time, as was bis habit. when he
died almost instantly without strug-
gle. lie will be buried temorrrw, in
the old cemetery at this place. The
funeral services will be held at the
Baptist church. ..-. -....-. U.

Interestlng to ALL

There has been placed before us a
new and scientific work, the title of
which is "The Polar and Tropical
Worlds" Its author, DR.. IIartwig, is
one of the most distinguished scholars
of Europe. 1t is edited by DR.. "A. IL.
Guernsey, Of New York, and pub
lished by j. w. Lyon & Co., of Co
lumbus. This valuable book places
within the reach Of everyone that in
formation which can otherwise be
procured only from score of books
of individual travel, and at great ex-
pense. By combining them all in one
we get all the facts without the tedious
details which VIC have not time to read !,
and it is also handy rs a book of ref
erence. 1t is valuable addition to
any library and worth many times it's
cost to anyone who cares to have q
knowledge of those two opposed re-
gions of the globe. In r,gard to the
our readers to the following opinions
from some of the best known literary
and scientific men of our county and
State.
81 have examined the new edition
of DR.. Il. Hartwig's "Polar and Trop-
ical Worlds" and am delighted with
it. The type, the illustrations, the
maps, the binding. and the additional
chapters by DIR. Guernsey, all tend to
increase its attractiveness. OF course
of the work as whole it is only nee
essary to say that it is admirably
written, embracing in its scope not
only the most valuable Information
touching Polar and Tropical regions,
with their marked contrasts, but the
most wonderful and attractive records
of animated nature and of the daring
adventures of travellers and explorers.
1t is in all respects worthy of place
in every we'll selected library, and fur
nishes reading of the greatest interest
for the family circle. 5i-. }-2v 3H

FROM time to time governments reflect
honor upon themselves by sending men emil
nent in literature or art as their representa-
tives abroad. Peter Paul Rubens was COM
mssioned by the Netherlands as ambassador
to England. Philip de Confines frequently
represented Burgundy at the court of Louis
XI. Of late our government has shown its
taste by appointing to the diplomatic service
such men as Hawthorne, and Motley, and
Bancroft and Marsh. But when our latest
representative to the court of st. James re-
ceived his credentials it was not dreamed
that he was destined to make greater stir
as an author than any of his ilustrious asso-
ciates. They contented themselves with
adding to our already large stock of fiction,
and history and philology; he has elaborated
and reduced to scientific precision the rules
of great national pastime, and has intro
duced these rules to the favorable notice of a
nation of kindred blood. The work in ques-
tion is an essay on Draw Poker.
1t was the custom of an Eastern Prince to
give province to any of his subjects who

Were the rule in force now grateful England
would at once offer to Mr. Schenck the gov
ernor-generalship of India. He has brought
to the notice of the scions of the British aris-
tocracy a novel and most effectual manner Of
spending money. Seeing the elephant has
hitherto been looked upon as rather ex-
pensive spectacular amusement, but it dwln'
dies into insignifcance beside the cost of see
ing four aces. Great patrimonial estates will
vanish like mist before the morning sun
when brought in opposition to full hand,
and it is to be doubted if even the law of en-
tail will be able to hold its own against a
flush.
1t is but justice to Mr.. Schenck TO say that
these rules were drawn up for the amusement
of a few friends, and that their publication
was breach of trust. The sentence with
which they close is wise and concise enough
or an aphorism, and may be held to apply to
tho great game of life we are all playing:
.erbe main elements of success are good luck,
good ca Ns, plenty Of cheek, and good tenn

IT is a truth forcibly impressed upon the
minds OF children that nothing is created in
vain, that the tiniest thing is made for some
good purpose. The little people generally
accept this diction without hesitation, though
some of them after fiantically kicking the
bed clothes and scratching themselves all
through sultry August night are tempted
to make mental reservation as regards mos
quitoes. Now however science comes to the
aid of faith and firmly establishes the cheer
full little insect in the ranks of benefactors of
the human species. He is created to warn
man against residence in malarial districts;
il the great hulking fellow, obstinate after
the manner of his kind, refuses to take heed
and leave, the mosquito is provided with
quinine, which he delicately inserts, in MI
mute doses, under the skin Of the stupid crea-
ture. In reward for this benefit, man,
with his usual ungratefulness, mashes his
benefactor. The manner Of applying this
remedy for malaria is not pleasant to be sure
but is no more uncomfortable than any other
form of sub-cutaneous injection, even when
undertaken by an accomplished physician.
So the mosquito, it appears, answers two
purposes: he provides prophylactic against
fever and ague, and serves to point moral.
Indeed we very seldom see a creature so use
full in proportion to its bulk.
