VICE PRESIDENT MORTON.

suggested that the busts Of the vice
presidents be placed ut the foot Of the
gallery, where they would have splen.
did top light and show to good advan-
tage the character Of the men who have
occupied the prominent place of vice
pres itlent Of the United States, and this
change of position may possibly be
mac later on. The architect of the
capitol has shown rare good judgment
in having the work made from life. Too
often important matters of this kind arc
left until it is too late accurately to
portray the character Of the men who
have held this great Office.
1t is said that Mr.. Elwell modelled the
bust in two sittings Of three hours each,
and perhaps this accounts for the spirit
and vigor of its handling. Mr.. Morton's
face is one that is scnlptoresque, having
the large, noble qualities often found in
the Greek sculptures. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Morton have expressed themselves
as satisfied with the result. Mr.. Nor.
ton himself chose Mr.. Elwell to make
the bust, which is of heroic size.

whom he had known year or two,
nut who had disappeared within the
past month, after paying up some old
debts and buying one or two fancy
horses. Further inquiry brought out
the fact that Livingston was in very
straitcned circumstances but IA few
months previously, and how he could
honestly obtain the means to pay his
old debts and gratify his love for horse
flesh was not SO clear, and gave fresh
encouragement to the persevering de-
tective.
To follow Livingston was necessary.
but how could he be traced? lie had
disappeared, and no one knew when or
whittier. What then was to be done?
Should the trail be abandoned and the
case given up as one of the mysteries
that bafiled solution:
Never, said the indefatigable officer,
and lie went to work with desperate
energy to unravel the tangled skein.
lie finally reached the following con-
illusions: The perpetrator of the
forgery was Livingstone; he was Il good
deal of horse fancier. and would
doubtless spend considerable portion
of his dishonest gains in the purchase
of fine stock: and further, that the
stock would be purchased in New
York, as that market promised bet
ter selection, and the criminal consid-
cred himself entirely safe from detec-
ton.
The first step, therefor. vas to learn
II anyone had recently made any cx-
tcnsive purchases of such stock, and II
10. to run them down and see who they
were.

The Work OF q swordfish.

The society of California pioneers
are the owners of wonderful curios.
ity. 1t is section Of timber taken
from the side of the ship Powhatan. 1t
includes portion of the ''skin," whit h
is inches thick, and a piece of abutting
knee, which is 0 inches thick; trans
versely through the whole OF this a
swordfish has dashed his sword, and
the portion broken off is still embedded
in the timber. The sword pierced
through Is inches of this solid oak, and
the fish was going in the same direction
as the vessel at that, the ship being I'M
der a good head of steam ut the time.
An idea Of the strength which must
have been cxerted can be obtained from
the fact that rifle six-pounder could
not have done more than pierce that
thickness of solid oak. People on the
vessel stated that they felt the shock
caused by the blow, and thought that
they had struck something floating be-
meath the surface. The sword is over
inches wide at the broadest point.
where it is broken off.

scenes as the decapitated forms Of those
taking part are elevated mt different

But in the western states, early in

long, varying in height from three feet

feet to one foot eight inches. 1t was
divided into eight COMPARTMENTS full

boxes eight hogs, Of ages ranging from
five years down to one month, were
placed. The tail of each animal was
passed through a small hole in the end
Of each compartment and a neat knot
tied therein. When the operator de-
sired to play he merely pulled the ap.
propriate tail. Here's picture of the
instrument:

ONE HUNDRED AND -FOUR.
Remarkable Longevity Attained
by Mrs. Ascnath Miller.
Though Entered Upon Her second Ccn-
fury the Old Lady Is rs Spry as Most
Women Of Forty and Fond
Of Dress ~ = Girl.

The same year that the constitution
Of the United States was adopted, 17s7,
Mrs. Asenath Miller, who for more
than fifty years has been resident of
st. Charles. ILL.,, was born. Mrs. Miller.
says the Chicago Evening Post, still
lives with her daughter, Mrs. j. $.
Hampton, at st. Charles, and is brisk
and busy. and has by no means surrcn-
dcred to old age. Although she will be
one hundred and four years old August
II, of the present year, she is in the full
possession Of her faculties, is cheerful
and thoroughly enjoys life. She is a
triflc hard of hearing but still sees well;
her memory is good, her intellect clear,
and rs she has lived through every adj
ministration since the government was
founded, and has been an intelligent
observer, her conversation is most in
teresting.
Early in life Mrs. Miller married
Simeon Barnum. She bore him seven
children. and, as lie was farmer and
by no means rich. her early life was the
busy. laborious one Of the farmers wife
of that period. Being left a widow
when she was forty years of age, she
married Frederick Miller, who was also
farmer. Ey this marriage she had
two children. Mr.. Miller, who was
some years her senior, lived to be
ninety-two years old. Both her mar
riagcs were particularly happy: indeed.
her whole life seems to have been re-
markably free from corroding sorrow
