The last interest of Monroes life
was that which he shared with Jeffer-
son and Madson-the University of
Virginia. His house and office still
stands on what is known as Monroe's
Hill and since his death has been the
property of the university and now oc-
cupied by the chairman of the faculty.

Monroe We're present and their parting
afterwards with Lafayette is described
by his secretary as very touching.
They were all old and feeble. and each
felt that this would be their last earth
~ meeting. Monroe died in the city of
New York July 4. 1891. Some years af-
ter his death there was a natural de-
sire on the part of NiTginians that his
remains might be brought to Rich
mond, that his dust might mingle with
the soil of the state that gave him
birth. A regiment from New York
acted as escort and imposing ceTemon-
les were held in Richmond just 100
years from the day of his birth. He
was buried in beautiful old historic
Hollywood, on one of the hills over
looking the falls of the James. Near

A HORSES PRESENCE OF MIND.

He Saved His Own Life and That OF His
Driver In Broadway.
The remarkable presence of mind
that n horse can display in case of an
emergency was illustrated the other
evening at 31st street and Broadway.
Not only did the equine prove conclu-
sively to several hundreds of people
that an animal was capable of saving
it's own life when the necessity present

many who saw the act that he could
save the life of his master as we'll
South-bound cable car No. 80 of the
Columbus avenue division was going
down Broadway at a rapid rate of
speed. The horse, which was attached
to delivery wagon, was going from
east to west, also at very rapid gait.
The driver, who had companion in
the person of a boy IL years old, un-
mindful of the approach of the car,
failed to reduce his speed when Broad
way was reached.
Neither the gripman nor the driver
saw each other until it seemed too late
to avoid an accident. By this time the
horse was half way across the east
UllC CIT was close UPON III.
The gripman let go his grip and put Oil
the brakes, but the people who wit
messed the sight did not think for a
moment that either the horse or it's
driver would come out of the accident
alive, but the horse, with common sense
which would do credit to many human
beings, instead of trying to get across
the track, with the possibility of
wrecking the wagon and killing it's
occupants, stopped short directly in
front of the car, reared on it's hind legs
and let the car come on.
When it was upon him he intelli-
gently let his front feet down over the
dashboard and into the car. This done,
he quickly raised his hind legs on to
the steps, and after the horse gave n
short neigh Of happiness the car came
to a standstill and the equine backed
off.
The car proceeded on it's journey
downtown and the wagon suffered only
the breaking of one of it's shafts.--N. Y.
