How John Quincy Adams Died.

-
Mr.. Brainard does not state "the
whole truth" concerning the death of
John Quincy, Adams in. his recent
article on the subject, which leads the
reader to infer. that it was in =" the
,rotunda. of the 'capitol.'' Mr.. Adams
was borne from the hall, of the house of
Representatives on one Of the sofas
which stood between theco1umnsiuto the
Speakers room; then occupied by Mr..
Speaker Winthrop, and was there trans
terfedfto theaarge broad sofa which form.
ed a part of the furniture of the room
md which ises the one sp11ew so highly
valued "a That ACCOUNT sIn1afew hour
cot and some bedding were obtained;
and Mr.. Bra.nard is correct in his
statement that IL Ewas. on that bed that
the cold Man Eloquent breathed his
last.s Congress soon afterward purchased
2 bust Of Mr.. Adams, which was placed
on bracket and remained there until
the speaker occupied the new speakers
room at tie south end of the capitol,
when it, was; moved, there, although it
was entirely. out of place, Mr.. Adams
having never been speaker. When Mr.,
Sam Hooper was made chairman Of the
house committee ON banking and cur
reney that|committee occupied the speak
-er's eldSeo1a.-.-Nr. Hooper had the. bust
of AMr. Adams brought back and placed
On a marble bracket, with a suitable in
scription written by Mr.. Sumner. The
pen which Mr. Adams held in his fingers
when he rose to speak and was stricken
by death was, preserved by a Massa-
chusetts man who was present and is
now carefully treasured.-Perley's Let

THE REIGN OF ZOE.

With speed, and hate and cruel hand.
He farr~wed the seas with frozen feam,
~ vile and child and sweet surcease
from strife and storm In port Of peace.

The seamen saw tho gathering gale,
And: freezing, stoed by the icy mast,
palsied and dead In the spell Of the, blast.
Down from the realm of the frigid ssa,
Keientless, and cold, and cruel came he,
- ~ cast his curse DER the land Of rest,
The Traveller, tracking his homeless way.
BeESing for bread IN the storm that day,
Fell Iroxen and dead In the icy air,
As she mOcking wind denied his prayer.
The widow shrank with shiverinX dread
From his icy couch, In her chilly bed.
And her heart STOOD still In the cold embrace

His curse was fierce at the homes Of the p cor;

The woes of the, wretchsd were carried back

- The human race must end at last.
Despite taear pride and their faithless prayers,
Their selfish seheUes and worldly cares.

Their ships be locked in Icy strand;

Shall boast his mighty strength no more.

"A Portuguese Bull-FiRht.

There is quite as much parade in the
Portuguese as in the Spanish bull-ring;
but the purpose of the show is to fight
the bull and not STAY him. The horse
men ride good horses, not abandoned
beasts horses trained. to fight bulls aud
not simply to be gored and torn. The
foot performers are of two classes-those
who throw darts, and smother, class. of
lively, active young men who seize the
bull by main force and play antics over
him. :. Sometimes colored gentlemen
offer themselves as tossing material for
the bull, and then the tun is screaming.
The performers are quantity dressed in
costumes of past generations, the DAFT

opera. singers, short and embroidered
velvet jackets, and breeches gaudi1y

ing into the arena, instead of iron and

omnibus horses to prod him with spears,
the foot performers in Italian opera

have a way of lowering their heads and
taking their time before tossing, and il
is in this instant that the performer
throws his dart and skips over the bar.
