Contradictory accounts OF Mexico
are being given by present travellers.
A correspondent of the Chicago Trib-
une says: ut is not simply an i'm
poverished country, with great natu-
raj resources which have been ex-
hausted, for no degree of agricultural
aud commercial distress is beyond the
possibility of recuperation. This
country is naturally poor Volcanic
fires have blasted its surface. Vast
sections, hundreds of square leagues,
are but extinct craters." A cores
pondenl of the Louisville Courer-Jour-
nal is equally positive that Mexico is
not poor and arid, but "ifinhabited by
our race, in five years, with such a
population and only Of an equal num-
Der with that which Mexico now has,
the mineral and agricultural exports
alone would nearly equal all the ex-
ports Of any other country of the
world"

A. Sheridan, formerly carpet-bagger

The Commissioners then accepted the
fastener at twenty six cents a piece
and the government ordered 100000.
The exposure came with the Star

Several weeks ago, says a Wash
ington correspondent, remarkably
beautiful model was posing before the
'Iife class" Of the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. She, as all the models are, was
provided with mask to hide her
identity. She was posing as Psyche
when suddenly she fell forward in a
faint. Her mask flew off and the stu
dents recognized the features of those
of the widow of an ex-General in the
Union army. She is possessed of a
large fortune, bnt her vanity about
her splendid figure induced her to APP
pear as IA model.

Death OF Colonel scott.

| Col. Thomas A Scott died at Gill
ton, Pa, or the 2lst. He was born
at London, Franklin county, Pa, IN
1924. He had only few years OF
common school education, being
placed in store when 10 years old.
He showed remarkable aptitude for
business, and was engaged in various
branches Of trade until 1850, when he
entered the service of the Pennsylvan-
ia Railroad as general passenger
agent of the eastern division. Here
his great executive ability had full
play, and he increased the already
large business of the road. In 1853
he was elected Vice-President OF the
Pennsylvania road, with which he
was identified until recently. In the
early days of the rebellion he was APP
pointed Assistant-Secretary of War;
and under Stanton he did valuable
service in securing the prompt trans
portation of troops and supplies. At
ter the war he became famous for his
projects in railroad building. He en-
gineered the Texas Pacific Railroad
grant through Congress, and in 1871,
when the company was organized, he
was appointed it's President, and has
held the position ever since. About
two years ago he retired from the
Presidency of the Pennsylvania road,
worn down by years of work. He
went abroad for his health, but re-
ceived little benefit, and for several
months he had suffered from great
weakness and nervous prostration.
