The Lowell Mail says: "Few men have
played IN their time so many parts as Gen.
n. T. Banks-once bobbin-boy on the
Merrlmac corporation, and since speaker
OF the house of representatives at Boston,
and at " ashlngton, major general and mar
shall. On Tuesday he argued before the
county commissioners the case of the new
town-way in Waltham, and the tones of his
voice sounded as rich as ever"
Ex Queen Isabella Of Spain visited the
Paris Observatory on the evening of June
70 for the purpose of examining the comet,
and was received by Rear Admiral Mou-
chez, the director, and his staff, in full
costume. Unfortunately the state of the
atmosphere was not very favorable.
1t is declared to be we'll known fact that
Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, the brilliant So
prano, is very fond of that aromatic vege-
table alluded to in such very emphatic
way by one of Dickens characters, and so
the St. Louis Globe Democrat puts the
following language in the mouth of the fair
Louise: II the president really called for
oeetsteak and onlons-especially onions
he is sure to get well. 4 know how it is
myself" .-.
Daniel T. Dickinson was pardoned by
the president, last February. for his defal-
cation while clerk in the national bank at
Newark. The girl to whom he was en-
gagged, Alice Lee, chung to him in all his
troubles, and did all that was possible to Sc
cure his release, which was finally accom-
plished. Fri lay week she was married to
the husband for whom she had struggled so
brayely, and size was the bride, whose
father, George W. Lee, fell dead as he
kissed her at the conclusion of the wedding
ceremony, as was narrated here some DAYS
ago
A curious fatality occurred near Pittsburg,
Pa, Il few evenings ago. Two young men
were engaged in foot race, when one of
them, named Beck, while RAINING along the
turnpike with his eyes to the ground ran
against John Born, who was returning from
his work, their heads striking together
Born was knocked down by the collision
and died in less than ten minutes, it was
supposed from conclusion of the brain
The night was dark and the collision seems
to have been purely accidental A man
who was started On horseback for doctor,
was thrown by the horse stumbling and
broke one of his legs.
General Longstreet, in recent converse
ton about jeff. Dayis's book, said of GER
tain leading generals: General Lee was a
noble character, but he was not perfect
field marshal. He was not always cool in
the heat Of battle, and that is really the
greatest test of a commanders power. Gen
cral Stonewall Jackson not only had perfect
control Of his nerves in battle and out of it,
but he had the additional merit of being
able to move his troops with great prompt
ness and Of executing his plans with mar
vellous decision. Jackson was a great field
marshall. Nearly all of General Grants
military abilities is in his sublime control of
himself. Ninety nine officers out of every
hundred in the army wruld probably pass
better theoretical examination than Grant;
but, when the blood begins to run, or there
IS a man wanted for an emergency. Grant
would be head and shoulders above them
all The excitement Of battle seems to cool
rather than excite him. He is great prac-
teal soldier
