On tho night of the 10th or 1lth of Decem-
ber, 1865, there was social party Of Ohio
men In Washington, at the house Of Mr.. Wetmore
State agent Of Ohio. There were probably forty
or fifty gentlemen present, including the Ohio
members OF Congress and others. Mr.. Corwin was
one of the most conspicuous persons there. ow-
ing TO his age and superabundant flesh he sat in a
large chair most of the evening, and was con-
stantly surrounded bya circle of gentlemen, en-
gagged IN conversation or listening TO his brilliant
flow of talk. IL mad been remarked that Mr. Cor
win seemed to be feeling unusually well. When
refreshments were served he ate heartily, still re-
naming seated. Some time after supper,
as he sat thus in the large chair, con-
versing with those around him, he suddenly
ceased talking, turned pale, his head fell on
his breast, and the doOoping position OF his body
showed that something SERIOUS had happened. II
was determined TO place Mr.. Corwin IN bed and
send for physician. He was large, and II took
several persons TO carry him TO q front room the
writer being one Of the number. He was placed
on bed speechless and unconscious, and never
rose from II. Under good medical attendance he
rallied little during the next few days, but sank
again, and died on the 18th Of December The

by the Gillian troops the European mails for Peru
had been opened several times by the Chilian military
authorities and number of registered letters Sc
questered. This informatiOs Is intended warn IN
American public against the danger of transmitting
articles of value TO Peru through the mails.

Words and Their Uses.

Richard Grant White has written good
deal concerning the origin and various mean
ings OF several old English words and
phrases, and many OF his remarks are very
Instructive and interesting. Primarily,
words were designed to express ideas, and
not, as Tallyrand said, to conceal them. II
q genuine autograph OF Shakespeare, Milton,
Swift or Pope could be found, how it would
be priced and appreciated by the fortunate
fnder
The old Charter Oak at Hartford is Justly
cared for, and its history is priced beyond
anything else In Connecticut; and the public
throughout the United States have vague
idea that it must have some intrinsic merit,
because the words "Charter Oak" have been
used as a trade mark by the largest stove
factory In the world. For our own part, VIC
like to see ambitious manufacturers stamp
their goods so that buyers will know them
on sight. The CHARTER OAK STOVE rather
adds to the claims for veneration OF the old
Charter Oak at Hartford, and will be likely
TO perpetuate it long after the original tree
is entirely forgotten. This is the way OF tho
world. (5-2S)
