BAYARD TAYLOR MEMORIAL.

advanced he attended school at West
Chester and Unionville. His first
school teacher was Ruth Ann Cham
bers. His inclination to write original
bits was noticeable when he was a very
young boy. An anecdote is told OF
him in this connection. One day he
and several of his companions visited
the Brandywine battle-ground, and re-
turned footsore and weary. Taylor, in
stead Of deprecating the curiosity that
led him away on the ramble, sat down
and wrote sprightly account OF the
adventure. The story was praised
highly and was deemed worthy of pub

one of the country papers. He was 10

descriptions of travel and natural seem

the monotony of the work, and woul
often abandon his lease" to draw
sketches, write verses or read books
of travel. One day book-"The Tour

Increasing Value of wbalebone.

Whalebone promises to become one OF
che most valuable commodities of COM
merce, and before the next century is
very old ii may become as highly
priced as gold. 1t may then be the
means of settling forever the mono
metallist and bimetallist controversies
by abolishing both, and making the
substitution Of whalebone currency pos
sible, for there is no chance of an
oversuppiy of that article, and it is
quite evident that Ii cannot be imi-
tated. Numerous attempts have been
made to simulate it, but none has been
successful. Not very many years ago
whalebone could be purchased for f400
ton. At the end of last season the
price was $4,000. To-day it is about
ZOO, and before Christmas it may be
higher still, for the Greenland fishing
this summer has not proved an i'm
mense success. At this price an old
family bingham, OF which whalebone
ribs were generally about half an inch
square, would prove very handsome
legacy, much more valuable than a
gold mounted but steel-ribbed umbrella
of the present day. A collection of the
old articles might form small fortune.
