MR. JOHN III. CATER CsCommodore Rol-
lingpin"), who Tor many years has been con-
nected with the press OF st. Louis, has re-
moved to New York, from which he will
hereafter issue his Comic Annual, which for
thirteen years has been published in St.
Louis. N
TIE courtesies extended to Gen. FIlzhugh
Lee 10 Brooklyn and New York are very
gratifying, showing that brotherly feeling
between Northern and Southern soldiers that
now should exist all over the land, and also
showing respect for the honored name he
bears.
THE London Stock Exchange has little re-
spect for aristocratic titles. When messen-
ger called for Lord Walter Campbell, who is
member, the porter exclaimed: Lord
And then he shouted: walter Campbell is
wanted"
Mr.. GEORGE DARWIN, who has been made
professor OF astronomy in Cambridge Uni
versity, is said to possess more than his cele-
brsted fathers versatility, all his fathers
| love of thorough work, and no little hare OF
| bis sather's power Of exposition. Though he
is only thirty years of age be is a "fellow"
| Of the Royal Society. He is not merely an
astronomer-he is a geoiogist, biologist
and a chemist, and is distinguished in all.
IT is announced that the sculptor Gerard,
| who obtained medal at the last salon in
Paris for his "Tcbie Ell rAnge," has just,
without any premonitory symptoms, lost his
reason. He was working IN his studio, and
giving the last touches to a emarkable
group called Maternity" when he suddenly
| went mad. HE friends succeeded in getting
him into a cab under the pretext of drive;
| but the vehicle deposited the unfortunate
| man at the Asylum Sainte Anne.
The effect of Philosopher A B. Alcotl's
| illness has been to weaken his memory for
| words, as was the case with Mr.. Emerson in
his last years; and though Mr.. Alcott under
| stasds perfectly what is said to him and
knows what he would reply, he cannot
| usually find the right word. Since his
| attack he has grown fine white beard and
mustache, which gives him more the look
! Of an old Greek philosopher than formerly !;
and he is unwilling to have his beard re-
moved.
The message that Mr.. John Richard
| Green, the historian, is on the point of
| death, is indeed melancholy. Better, per-
! hsps, than any man living, ne knew how 10
put TO the best use the resuts of such pro.
| fessional researches as had been made by
the late Edwin Guest, Prof. Gardiner, and
| the publishers of the English records. Mr..
Green's History Of The English People is the
result Of his careful reading-not strictly an
| original work, in the professional sense Of
| the term, yet a source of great delight to all
| friends of historical literature, and a very
| gate to real inform alton on the history OF
the English people.
| '"GALIaNANI" says that the American
consul at Lyons, Mr.. B. F Peixotto, and his

sions of congratulation and regard on the
twenty-ifth (silver) anniversary of their
wedding, January 18th. The Roumanians,
among whom Mr.. Peixotte had passed N any
years of his official life, sent a special depu-
tation and presented TO him a golden
| wreath on which were engraved the words:
ITO the Hon B. F. Peixotto and Mrs. Peix-
otto, homage and fluctuations" Many pres
ents in silver were received from friends in
the United States, among them a splendid
desert set in solid silver, OF American manu-

THERE is to be reunion of Morgan's
4 raiders at Lexington next June, but not one
| of the survivors will receive a more enthusi.
astic greeting from his comrades than the
mare Maggie Lucas, which was ridden by
John II. Wallen through three years of des
perate service. Maggie is supposed TO be
thirty -four years old, but her native tough
ness, which no accumulation of military
hardships could ever subjue, keeps heI
spirit risky yet, though her limbs are stiff
with age. She has led life of ease anc
honor for several years past on farm neal
Louisville, visited occasionally by her ownel
