Ellswnrth and His ZouaYes,

Young Elmer z. Ellsworth came here years
before the war, with his troop Of young zou-
ayes, whom he drilled and unanswered in the
presence of delighted audiences. / met him
il Washington and saw him as he paced the
corridor of Wizards hotel, arm in arm with
William H. Seward, then secretary of state,
he ambitious for a coloners commission in
the regular army, and at the same time all

department, a post which Mr. Lincoln recon-
mended him to Simon Cameron. Shortly
after that when his regiment, the New York
Fire Zouaves, was quartered in the house of
representatives, Wizards hotel caught fire.
Word was sent along Pennsylvania avenue
that the old time hostelry was doomed.

on every floor, climbing along the gutter,

dows, in every possible place appeared these
wild, mad men, determined not only to do
their devoir, but to enjoy themselves while
they were mt it. Ellsworth stood with Gen.
Mansfield on the corner, his arms folded, his
cap pulled firmly down to his eyebrows, his
hair beautiful chestnut brown, touching
his very shoulder blades. The fire was speed

Mansfield, Ellsworth walked TO the piazza at
the side of the hotel, and stood by the veteran

At the Grave of Beecber.

The grave of Henry Ward Beecher in
Greenwood cemetery is now ready to become
an object of interest in that famous burying
ground. 1t is at the top of what is known es
Ocean hill 1t is at present nothing more
than a simple unmarked mound of earth.
The situation commands magnificent view
Of nearly all of New York harbor, both the
upper and lower bays. Standing at the
mound one can look across the Narrows 10
the hill on Staten Island on the summit Of
which the Vanderbilt mausoleum is situated.
The Staten Island tomb cost, exclusive OF
land, something like 100000.
The Beecher grave may have cost as much
as $40 to dig and fill it in. 1t is surrounded
on every side by the most expensive month
ments, the headstones all deliberately dressed
and made to look as beautiful and cheerful
as the memorials Of the dead possibly can.
1t is peculiarly suggestive TO find that the
ornate monuments surrounding Mr.. Beecher's
grave are those of men whose names were
never brought to public attention except at
the bottom Of advertisements. There is, for
instance, a monument of certain soda water
manufacturer which is as ostentatious as his
advertisements in the newspapers during his
lifetime were glaring.
In this respect Mr.. Beecher's grave is re-
markably similar to the graves of almost all
great men.-Albany Argus.

His Promise-A Sermon.
John Kinney, of the firm of Kinney &

which may strike familiar vein in some
other mans experience. When I was a

the boys OF our town, and as | was pretty

staid old friends of my fathers were going
To the new gold country, it was concluded
that | should go with them. When we were
ali ready to shut my trunk and lock it my
mother who, bless her. was more than half
afraid to have me 20 out into that rough
country, brought handsome clasp Bible out
of her bedroom and laid it in my trunk on
top of the other things.
Now, Johnnie said she, Il want you TO
promise me that you will read this Bible

The Streets of Gibraltar.

The main street of the town through which
we walked TO the Hotel Royal was narrow
and crooked. All sorts of people were pass
ing to and fro-Spaniards, Enghshmen, Ital-
ians, Greeks, Jews Moors sailors and red
coated British soldiers 'intermirgled with
horses, donkeys and goats. The smaller
streets lesding offfron the principal one are
short and narrow, either p,,nning down TO

To Make Match SCratchers.

full dressed japanese figure: paint the face
and hands and the everlastingly accompany

coated with thick &! lie or varnish, over which
sprinkle white sand If tho face. hands fan

all over the plain places with varnish or glue,

Talking Of match scratchers, I have made
q number of original ones out of sand paper.
They save the wall and are quite ornamental.
One of the simplest is sheet OF the sand pa
per painted to represent an old mill with a
storm coming up over far away hills. In
painting these use an old worthless bristls
brush, as the grit of the hard sand soon
wears it out l use either Gil or water colors,
preferring the former well weakened with
turpentine to make it flow easily. Another
design is desert scene, with camels drinking
from stone trough under group of palms.

Another design is of a girl carrying an UNI

is street scene with n corner and lamp post,

places raIded a complete opium layout was

cations of opium, with all that the word i'm

were begged, beseeched, impIored by their
captives to be allowed to take some opium to
the station houses, so that they might make
themselves comfortable. The sharpers
seemed more alarmed at the prospect of be-
ing deprived of their opium than the posi-
bility of having to serve term in prison

4 Man Who Knows 1t All and Makes

a Man Who Knows 1t All and Makes
Money by 1t.
In handsome fat on one Of the most fash
ionable streets in the city lives a gentleman
who is rolling up fortune By knowledge
He isnot a writer or lecturer, he holds nc
college professorship and does not belong to
any learned body. He simply knows it all,
or as nearly all as mortal man may, and sell;
his knowledge for tidy fee. He owns very
extensive library. to begin with. Then, too
he is a living index of his own books. If you
require information on matters of history,
science. theology, biography, art or anything
else you have but to apply to him and pay
his charges to be enlightened You may
make your notes out of his library or with
the list Of authorities obtained from him con-
suit the public collections. In one way and
another there is probably nothing in the way
Of published Information that you cannot &c,
track of through him, even if he does not
know all about it. He conducts his consulta-
tions with the fixed system OF physician or
lawyer. and always has a full list. There
are times, indeed, when he is fully engaged
that appointments have to be made with hin,
well in advance.
In theological matters he is especially
strong The list of his clients is said 70 in
clude the most eminent divines of the country.
Thousands of sermons and religious discus.
sions annually owe their logic and their III
formation to him, In the revision of theo-
logical works he is found an invaluable
reference In theological history he is prob
ably more learned than any man living.
When the enormous mass of this sort of
literature that is in existence is considered,
the fact that he can master it as he has done
is remarkable. But he carries the same
authoritative erudition into otEer branches
of letters His strong point is his memory.
1t fixes everything in q literary way that is
brought before it. He has some system of
analogizing dates that renders i. possible for
him to give the day, month, year and often
even the hour of an occurrence on demand,
SO that to trace it up and refer to the pub
lished record is for details is comparatively
easy for him Outside of his memory, he
appears to possess no literary gifts or abilities
whatever.
Commencing modestly enough his charges
are now SO nigh that they would seem eyor-
bitant to any one not conversant with the
value of special information to persons of
superficial education, or to those even well
grounded and extensive but not symmetric-
ally systematized, study. Many of his
clients know great deal more than he does
in their own way, and are men of much
greater ability. But they have not arranged
their information so skiilfully, and cannot
recall it when they need it, So they pay him
to nudge their memories, and arc glad to
have him to help them as he does.-Alfred
Trumble in New York News
