HEADS WILL FALL.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-When the
president returns from his fishing
trip to Hog Island, Va, he will take
up the papers in the cases of Is or 90
collectors of internal revenue which
now await his action. Commissioner
Miller spent week in considering
them and made his recommendation
Secretary Carlisle spent several days
last week in looking over them and
has fully made up his mind as to
whom he wants in each case. He will
go over the matter again with the

absent from the city this week the APP
pointments would have been made
before now In the meantime APP

respondent Of London Notes and Queries
records in that Journal the further snap
ping OF links which bind the present to
the living personality Of Sir Walter Scott
himself by the death, within the past
few months, of four individuals who
were more or less associated with him.
The correspondent states that last Au-
gust there died at Sell1irk an old mason
who, in his youth, helped to build Alb
botsford. He used to relate that fire.
quently, while engaged in Ills work on
Abbotsford, Sir Walter came and con-
versed with him and his fellow work
man. "For," said he, "the shirra' had
nae pride ABBOTT i'm"
And then toward the close of last year
died DR.. Skene, historiographer royal of
Scotland, who was the son of SCOTS old
friend Skene of Rubislaw, and who had
actually resided in Abbotsford as the
guest of Scott. Next there was the late
DR.. Wordsworth, bishop of st. Andrews,
who it is believed accompanied his illus
trious uncle, the poet, and Dorothy
Wordsworth on their tour through Scot
land, when they visited Abbotsford and
saw Scott before he set out on what
proved to be his last excursion to the
continent. Lastly, there died during
February William Haldane Of Earlston,
who was personally acquainted with
Scott and was present at his funeral.

Scott, but of Hogg, Lockhart Willie

Chill to Chicago In a 2e-foot Boat.

An eccentric navigator named Bosnian
proposes to make a trip from Valparaiso
to Chicago in 22-foot boat and has &C.
tually sailed away from Valparaiso on
his long voyage. He comes via Panama,
whence his craft will be transported to
Colon by rail. From Colon he will EN-
bark for Chicago by way of the st. Law
renee river, and if he does not come to
grief in his perilous undertaking expects
to arrive in Chicago about the middle Of
June. Mr., Bosnian appears to forget
that the Hudson river and the Erie ca
nal furnish him a much easier as well as
shorter route to the great city of the
marvellous show, and the dangers of the
longer st. Lawrence.r route should not.be
deliberately courted.-Panama Star and
