In queer little Boston store, heaped
with all sorts Of curiosities, Herald man
few days ago discovered among the old
pewter-mugs and time-stained prints heap
OF medals from the scattered collection of
some enthusiast. There were several bear
ing the head of her most gracious Britannia
Majesty. with different inscriptions upon
the reyerses. Upon one was a sphinx and
the words, Egypt, 1885," Another had
been the reward of some poor fellow who
endured the hardshps Of the trenches be-
fore SebastopOl when the allies held the
Russian bear in check during that terrible
winter. A Turkish medal referring to the
same campaign was also among the lot.
But the most interesting Of all, and, OF
course. most valuable, was a cross of the
Legion of Honor of the great Napoleon.
These are very rare, although those dis
trlbuted by the head of the third empire
with such lavish hand are rather common.
But the one in hand. hanging from the worn
crimson ribbon, had been presented TO some
brave or learned man by the great leader
himself. The white enamel had been
slightly Clipped from the ends of the five
pointed cross, but the jewel was remark
ably we'll preserved. The center was of
with green wreath of oak and laurel sur
rounding the medallion. On the reverse
and corresponding to the latter were the
tricOlors, crossed with the words 'Honneur
ct Patrie" eDcireling them. So rare are
these crosses that it is thought that the one
now in Boston is the sole specimen in this
country. There are several collectors In
this city who prize such treasures, so it will
probably remain here In some private cab

Senator CuIlom's Resemblance to the

The resemblance of Senator Cullom Of
Illinois 10 President Lincoln has been re-
marked on many occasions. This resem-
blance not long ago led to laughable
incident
One of Mr.. Cullom's Senatorial associates
had pressing communication TO make TO
the Senator from Illinois late one evening
several weeks ago, and despatched trusiy
African, black as the ace of spades, and
with brain as dark as his face, upon the
commission. 1t was so late. indeed, that
every one had retired when the faithful son
of Ham rang the doorbell at the Cullom
mansion.
After repeated ringings some one thrust
his head out or a second-storv window and
demanded to know who was making the
disturbance.
IL wants 10 see Mass'r Culom, sah," said
the colored messenger on the doorstep.

the night" asked the person in the second
story window.
Il hab a message TO- hin, sab, from
Senator Blank" replied the African.
"Just wata moment and III come down."
said the voice above.
After a few moments delay the light in
the yestibuie was turned on, the door was
opened, and tall, gaunt figure in flowing
The colored man advanced TO enter, when
a more critical glance at the spectral APP
partition before him made him pause.
Snatcbing his hat off bis head he stood
aghast, with eyes extended as wide as
sauceTs and his mouth open, holding the
note out at arms length. every muscle of
his body apparently in CULVER OF excite
ment.
Senator Cullom, without noticing the
messengers strange manners. took the note,
read Ii by the hall light and dismissed him.
There was precipltous descent Of the

when some time after Senator Blanks door
was opened IL revealed the horrOr-stricken,

supplemented messenger, and he enjoyed
the joke.
When, a few days afterward. Pompey
was again sent on similar mission. this
tor. Cullom invited him into his study,
where he handed him a cigar and engaged
him 10 a friendly conversation.
'Mass'r Cullom," said the darky, smiling
radiantly. now that he had been persuaded
of his mistake, you dom give me the wust-

missed him in possession Of much more
serene state of mind than on the occasion
of his first visit.
