by the arm and said, Don't say word
about this, or the newspapers will say
that it was plot to asSassinate Grant"
Brady took the last picture of General
Jackson. 1t was at the Hermitage. He
has taken pictures of Albert Galiatin. and
Just before John G. Calhoun died he was
photographed by Brady. Brady told me
that he called upon Calhoun in his rooms
near the Capitol. He was surprised to
find that Calhoun knew quite as much
about the science of phoiogra hy as he
did. He took President Lincoln inst
before he was elected TO the Presidency.
LincOln's collar was large, and his long
neck looked srraggy. Brady went up to
him and pulled up his shirt-collar, and
Abraham Lincoln said: "Ah, see You
want TO shorten my neck"
He is the most remarkable photographer

he has long passed his three score and ten,

Gold Shipments.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 4-some
gossip is being INDUCED in as to the
probability OF further Immediate gold
shipments in view OF the fact that the
average loss of gold to the treasury in
January for the past twelve years has
been 50, 600, 900. Some of the treasury
officials do not believe there is any
prospect OF auch shipments, while
others hold the opinion that with the
stitfening of rates of exchange, such ex-
ports are altogether probable. The be-
lief is general, however. that if such
shipments are INDUCED in, the New
York banks would not come to the re-
lief of the treasury to any considerable
extent and thus prevent the depletion
of gold reserYe.

The Cause Is Yet a 1~Iystery-How tho
Flames Rapidly Spread.
TOLEDO, o., jan. THE cause of last
nights fire is as yet a mystery. The
flames broke out in the upper part of
F. n. Quale & Co.'s elevator, and, be-
fore the fremen had gotten fully to
work. an explosion occurred, presum-
ably of dust, which tore of the upper
part of the building, and.gave the
strong southwest wind which was then
blowing an opportunity to ian the
flames into a tremendous conhagration.
Directly across Water street, which is q
very narrow thoroughfare, stood the
chamber of commerce block, extending
through:t to Summit street and occupied
blythe Western Union Telegraph Com
pany,,the American District Company,
Splitter & Co.'s Bank and the First Ma
tional Bank. The upper stories were
occupied as Offices by lawyers. insur-
ance men, ETC., and the progress&o of the
flames were 80 rapid that the law
libraries, private papers and other CON
tents OF the Offices could not be saYsd.
which render an accurate. ascertain
ment of the total loss almost an impos-
sibility this morning.
While the fire was thus eating its way
westerward the wind carried the flames
to the northwest across the slip which
occupied the width of Madison street at
the river, and Don the business block
and elevator occupied the space be
tween Water street and the Maumee
was rapidly consumed. The Water
street portion was occupied blythe Of
fees of @. A. King& Co., two job print
ing offices and a number of other small
business offices. On the river front
next northward from the King elevator
is an old elevator, the frat built in To-
ledo, which has not been used for sew
eral years. 1t caught fire q number OF
times, but the fremen succeeded in ex-
tinguishing it.
The chamber of was de-
stroyed within thirty minutes. It was
a roaring furnace of flames. The fire
worked it's way to the next building
southwark. on Summit street, belonging
to the estate of G. L. Luce and occupied
by @. FL. Moore, OF Detroit, as q museum
and theatre called Wonderland. This
was rapidly destroyed, with the animals
and birds in the ~menagerie department
on the upper floor. The next building
southwark. a four story structure occu-
pied by the wholesale drug house OF
West q Truax, next fell aprey to the
flames and was totally destroyed, with
its contents.
A careful estimate of the losses foots
up thrce-quarters of a million dollars.
It is by all odds the greatest fire Toledo
has eyer suffered.
