CHESTER w. CHAPLIN, who died lately at

period he has been closely identified with the
material development Of the busy city where
his life was spent aud Of the region round

THE subscriptions which are being raised
in France for the erection of a monument TO
Gambetta have reached total sum OF over
10000 francs. Some of the provincial
papers, however, had not been heard from for

th at the real total ia probably considerably
in excess of $50, 600 francs.
THIRTY THREE years ago the world rang
with the name OF Louis Kossuth. Now he is
rarely alluded to, and doubtless a myth to
the younger generation. From the city of
Turin she looks out upon the world OF Eu-
ropean politics with q hopeless gsze, and in
regard TO his own country the future is to
him full of the darkest forebodings."
CERTAIN friends of Gen. Phil Sheridan at
Washington have purchased the residence of
Judge Adds, member Of the French-Ameri-
can Claims Commission, paying therefor
$4,000. They will present the property to
Gen Sheridan probably when he succeeds
Gen. Sherman as General of the Army. The
property is situated in fashionable part Of
the city.

spoon has been ordered to New York for

Mr.. JOHN ALBIEoLA, who died on Mon.
day Last, at the age of seventy -four, was an
italian refugee from Austrian oppression, a
friend of Foresti's, and OF many other OF the
patriots who were driven out of Italy in the
first half Of this century. He was, in fact,
one of the few survivors of the first genera
ton of Italian refugees. He suffered long

GEN. A. A. HUMPHREYS, who has Just
published his work describing the campaign
of Grant in Virginia, has written a mono
graph-Gettysbur 10 the Rdpidan: The Army
Of the Potomac from july, 1868, TO March, 1864.
The volume will follow the history Of Lees
retreat from Pennsylvania, pursued by Gen.
Meade, and the strategic operations of both
armies, which followed. Gen. Humphreys
has given much time and has. taken great
care 10 make his account accurate, and ii is
believed that his book will throw some new
light on this period of war history.
Mr.. BEEcHER distinguished himself in
his sermon last Sunday by demolishing the
doctrine OF vicarious atonemeut He cut
loose finally from everything that could be
considered orthodox. He has approached so
near to Ingersoll in his liberslIty that we
greatly fear the infdel lecturer will fnd his
business seriously interfered with next sea-
son. As matter of fact, Mr.. Ingersoll is
no longer curiosity. 1t ia fortunate for the
country that Mr.. Surgeons sermons are be-
ing imported by telegraph by an influential
syndicate OF American newspapers.
Ex-CoNGREssMAN THE Rev. J. HYATT
SMITH, of Brooklyn, did himself the honor
to warn the children OF the Fleet Street
Methodist church against the Sunday school
dude-the homeless fellow who pretepds to
be sunday school teacher for the sole pur-
pose of placing himself in social contact
with the pretty girls. Mr.. Smith is right in
general sense, but he is wrong when he
speaks OF dude as an impudent fellow.
The real dude never has vim or energy
enough to be impudent. We are afraid that
the jovial term dude is being overWorked.
The recent death of Gen. George P. Buell.
has called out a letter written by him last
December TO a Southern friend who had
CHANGED TO become his prisoner in the closing
months of the war, in which occurs this sue-
geslive statement: "Oace coon after the war
saw your good mother, who l recolect
thought her boy was almost ruined because
he had gone to work. 1 ielt sorry for her, of
course, but could no. help laughing to my
self, Tor (thosgh the son of rich 10 an who
educated his children well(- had been taught
to work always. l wonder what that good
mother, if she still lives, thinks of the poor
boy who has the responsibility OF 1900 miles
of railroad on his mind every moment Of
time"
GEN. ROGER A. PRYOR said on
Tuesday that be knew that the re-
QUESTION Tor lyman and Sheridan, the
Irish suspects, had arrived in this coun-
try in April on the steamer Parthia As 10
the cases of Sheehy and Regain, be did not
know whether any requisition had been cent
for them or otherwise. He said that in his
opinion the Euglish had made demand for
the arrest OF lyman and Sheridan, but, after
much communication between the State
Office here and the British Foreign Office, the
dem and had not been pushed. In reply TO a
question az to whether he thought that Ty-
nan and Sheridan would he exiradited, he
said that he did not think they would; in
all probability the matter would be allowed
to drop, unless the British government could
obtain additional evidence.
TINE father of james Fisk, IT,, died last
week in Brattleboro, VT, at the residence OF
his n-in-law, Col. Geo. w. Hooker. "Jim"
strongly resembed his father in many re-
spects. The old gentleman started the ped

the son enlarged until he made personal
connection with Jordan, Marsh & Co, in
Boston. l was told long ago in Brattleboro
that the elder james borrowed the shirt he
wore when he got married. Several years

runaway horse could instantly be get loose

a splendid turnout as q Eghtning-rod agent,
and has been highly successful in the bust
ness, too, although he bad reached the age
of seveniy-one. The old man bad a pre-
found affection for James, jr., whose coWsrdly
assassination nearly killed him too.
