(Tinsley's Magazine.l

A thoroughly well-authenticated anecdote,
illustrating his excessive tact, was told of
Disraeli, soon after he was created Earl of
Beaconsfield. 1t appears that not long after

mons to the House OF Lords, Disraeli met a
brother peer in the street, who asked him how
he liked the change. Like it!' exclaimed
Disraeli, forgetting himself for the moment,

on the peers face, he added hastily, with a
courtly bow and an irresistible smile, land in

ness is light compared with few months ago; one

particulars of the Death Of Gen. Hurlbut

<

rounded him. He was placed upon a. bed,
where be momentarily recovered conscious
ness, his first exclamation being, "God bless
you all! am dying; oh, my hearth A few
more disiointed phrases were all he uttered,
then sharp convulsive shock run through his
body, and in less than twenty minutes he had
ceased to exist.
Gen. Lynch, in behalf of the Government Of
Chill, offered to take charge of the remains and
give them public funeral, with the honors
due to the rank of the deceased, but this was
declined by the widow. The services of the
Episcopal Church were held at the Legation,
the body placed in a floral decorated mortu-
ary chapel and viewed by q large number
the Meiie vault until transferred to the United
States.
Owing to rumors that Hurlbut had been pois-
oned, post mortem examination was held,
which decided that his death was from aneu-
rism of the heart. The doctors sent sealed
jar containing portion of the stomach to New
York for analysis. United States Consul
Moore assumed charge of the legation. The
funeral procession from the legation to the
railway depot was attended by all the Chilian
oHlclalS ana delaSationS IEoul various WAL ses-
sells. Mr. Trescott and all the prominent
Peruvians in the city attended. A eulogy was
pronounced at the grave by Minister Pinto OF
Salvador

was deeply moved on hearing of the death OF
his friend and college companion. 1t is be-
lieved that he will remain some time in the
Peruvian capital. Walker Blaine accompanied
Mr.. Trescott as far as Mollendo, where he met
Gen. Adams Together they left for La Paz,

dent of Peru pro tenn. and has resigned all mil
