A Touching "Reminiscences.

One of the most touching stories that
has been circulated for long time is
the following Renaissance of one of the
lately deceased rear-admirals: The late
Rear-Admiral Joseph Smith was the
father of Capt. Smith, in command of
the Congress when the Merrimac at
tackled both that ship and the Cumber-
land, April 10, 1862. That Sunday
Secretary Welles drove to the church
where he knew the pious commodore
was always to be found upon the Sab
bath, and called him out. He said to
him: "You know the unprotected
state of the feet at Fort Monroe, and
that the Merrimac is expected out?"
The reply was, eyes" "Well," contin-
ued the secretary, "the Merrimac came
out yesterday; we have no particulars
yet; all we know is that the Cumber-
land has been sunk and the Congress
struck her flag" "Then Joe is Dead -
said the father, as he turned and carri-
ed his great sorrow with him back into
the house of God. He needed "no par
ticulars." He knew his son so well
that when told that his ship had struck
her flag he knew that his son was dead.
And so it proved. The next intelligence
was that the first broadside of the Mer.
rimac had killed the commander of the
Congress,

The First White Man in Nebraska.

By chance a few days ago we found
some extracts from an old volume of
travels, which among other things con-
tains what appears to be an account of
the first white mans visit to what is
now Nebraska. 1t is stated there that
as early as May, 1859, the Baron La
Horton, lord lieutenant of the French
colony at Placentia, in Newfoundland,
wrote an account of his discoveries in
this region. The course which he states
he took is plain enough until he reaches
Mississippi river at the mouth of the
Wisconsin, but beyond that point it is
rather apocryphal. He affirms that he
ascended the river for nine days, when
he entered the mouth of the Long river.
which looked like stream full of Bull
rushes. Up this stream he sailed for
six weeks, passing through various ma
tions of savages, of which most fanci-
full description is given. He says, 'sYou
must know that the stream of the Long
river is along very slack and easy, abat-
ing for about three leagues between the
fourteenth and fifthteenth village; for
there, indeed, its current may be called
rapid. The channel is so straight that
it scarce winds at all from the head to
the lake. 'Tis true tits not very pleas

He Got His Letter.

A Washington special says an appli-
cation was received at the dead-letter
Office quite recently from Mr.. Palmer
Gardner, of Burlington, Racine county,
Wis, for letter mailed to him in 1885.
This letter contained certificate of
deposit for $500 issued by the Onon-
daga bank, Syracuse, n. Y, and was
sent from there in October of the year
mentioned, by VIM. N. Gardner to his
brother, Palmer Gardner, at "Detroit,
Michigan Territory Not being claim
ed at Detroit it was sent to the dead
letter Office, and thence back to the
postmaster at Syracuse, who, being un-
able to find the sender, returned it to
the dead-letter Office again, where it
lay undisturbed in the dusty files until
the Centennial exhibition. 1t was then
conveyed with other curiosities of the
dead-letter Office, to Philadelphia, and
there cbanced to be seen by an acquain-
tance of Mr.. Gardner, who informed
him Of his discovery, and thus, after
the lapse of more than forty years, the
letter reached its destination. The
postage ON the letter when it was first
mailed from Syracuse was twenty-five

ant, for most of its banks have dis
NAL prospect, and the water itself has
an ugly taste; but then its usefulness
atones for such inconvenience. The
account is accompanied by Chart said
to be copied from one painted by the
Indians on deer-skin, and from the
course of the Long or Dead river mark
ed thereon, nearly due east and west,
between the Rocky Mountains and the
Missouri, it must be the Platte, especi-
ally as many Islands dot it's course.
From Baron's narrative we also CLEAN
the first tidings of the great Salt Lake.
He relates that the Indians told him
that one hundred and fifty leagues from
the extreme western limit of his journey
there existed salt lake of three hun
dred leagues in circumference, and that
the regions round about were well popu-
lated.

French Revenge.

A man has just buried his wife. Six
years ago he detected her committing a
sin. He never pardoned her, but con-
demned her to live with him, and since
then he has ever dressed himself in
clothes of the same material and cut as
those worn by her paramom. In this
costume he took his walks abroad with
his wife. The unfortunate woman
died of a broken heart, and her husband
followed the hearse clad in Il yellow cos
tune. Paris Letter.

the most extensive and complete advertising

one which would be hardly possible in any
