A BUST AND A PAINTING.
The Former by Hiram Powers, the Lat
ter by Inman.

Across the dim corridor on which is situated
the Senate committee on the library and right
where Senator Evarts' eye, or both of his eyes,
can rest upon it as he leaves bis committee
room is bust Of Martin Van Buren,. Few
people have paid any particular attention to
the counterfeit presentment Of the man who
was once President, although it has been loaf
ing around its present location some time, and
not more than half dozen of those who have
seen it know that it is a product of the skill Of
Hiram Powers, the famous sculptor. The bust
was bequeathed to the United States by Travis
C. Van Buren, of New York city "a grandson of
the original M.V.B.), who died recently.
Hardly less valuable was another bequest from
the same source to be found in the room of the
committee on library. 1t is large portrait In
oil Of Mrs. Angelica Van Buren,, /daughter-in-
law OF the old gentleman, who v4s the lady Of
the White House during his administration.
The portrait is by Henry Inman and represents
the fair and smiling Angelica clad in watered-
silk dress on which there is an abundance of
lace trimming. The dress is very much decollete
and il cut straight across the top, with no ap-
parent reason Why it should defy the laws Of
gravity by remaining in the place where the
artist has fixed it. In her right hand, which il
gioved in white kid, Mrs. Van Buren, holds the
other glove and in her sinister aggregation of
beautiful black hair IL a double row of pearls.

Mr., Edward Cook, after having lived
some time with his brother George at
Tugsten, in Northumberland, went to
America, and took with him pointer
dog, which he lost soon afterward,
while shooting in the woods neal Balti-

Cook, who continued to reside at Tug
stem, vas alarmed at hearing a dog in
the night. He admitted it into the
house, and found that it was the same
mis- brother had taken with him TO
America. The dog lived with them
until his master returned home. when
they mutually recognized each other.
Mr.. Cook was never able to trace by
what vessel the dog had left America,
or in what part of England it had been
landed.-New York Mail and Express.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
dated April % says: w. W. Stanton,
mate of the schooner Addie Schaefier,
while fishing for bass 300 miles off st.
Augustine, drew in his line and found
entangled therein the strangest fish, if it
is a fish, that has ever been caught.
This strange creature is about six feet
long. pure white and scaleless. The
head and face are wonderfully human in
shape and feature. The shoulders are
well outlined. and very much resemble
those of n woman, and the bosom is well
defined and shows considerable develop
ment, while the hips and abdomen con-
time the human appearance. There are
four fippers, two of which are placed at
the lower termination Of the body, and
give one the impression that nature
made an effort TO supply the strange
creature with lower limbs. Mr., Stanton
confesses to quite a fright on first sight
Of his queer prize, which, on being drawn
on board, gave utterance to a low, moan
ing sound. which might easily have been
mistaken for the sobbing of n baby.
1t is extremely unfortunate that Mr.
Stanton did not succeed in keeping the
creature alive, which he thinks might
have been done, as the strange object
lived two days after being taken. The
schooner has been thronged all day by
curious visitors, who express much won
der and astonishment at the strange o b
ject. Mr.. Stanton. after visiting several
ports and showing his queer creature,
will donate it to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. The fish or mermaid is in a
large six foot glass jar in alcohol.

Nearly POO people mysteriously disap-
pcared from the city of Philadelphia
during the year ending with the opening
Of April. This is n remarkable exhibit
and one which reminds the writer Of an
article which appeared in French scien-
tific journal two or three years ago,
wherein the author advances the theory
that death is occasionally actual dissolu-
ton. 1t is a disease, the writer referred
to maintains, but one from which there
is no suffering; there is noillness or warn
ing of approaching end; the patient sud-
denly ceases to exist and rs suddenly
fades from sight. He says he has actu-
ally witnessed this phenomenon and that
he was at one time walking with friend
who suddenly vanished and has never
rcappcared. With such conclusive tes-
timony he has little doubt that many
persons searched for have actually melt
cd into thin air. He further states that
at the moment his friend disappeared n
strong sulphurous odor pcrvaded the at
