HUMBOLDT AND HIS VALET.

"Some Famous Men OF Our Time" is
the title Of chapter Of "reminiscences 10
the October Century. In which the Hon.
John Bigelov presents Won Bunsenis
recollectious OF bis friend. The paper
teens with anecdotes Of famous people,
amongst others that Of universal genius
Humboldt.
Won Bunsen told me that Humboldt
In his latter days was completely under
the influence Of rascally valet named
Seif[ert, and, to the disguet Of bis
friends, bequeathed to him all bis Of.
fecte, OF little value, it is true, fJr the
old man left no property Of any account.
Even bis private letters and papers
went to the wretch.
The king and tho queen, said Won
Bunsep, we're for years in the habit Of
sending Humboldt q present on his
birthday. At length it became difficult
to know what would be acceptable to
the old man, whose wants were 90 few
and tastes 60 simple. 1t was their habit
to send an aide-de-camp to him few
weeks before his birthday to ascertain,
IL he could, the sort Of gift likely to be
most acceptable to him, and whatever
that might b., OF course, it was sent.
Shortly previous to one OF these anniver.

having probably never slept in one in

old man died, however, before tho OK.
pected birthday anniversary arrived. It
then trsnsplred that the provident valet
had concluded 1t wou d be q nice thing
for him auo his wife TO have q spick.
aud-span new bed with the royal srms
upon it, and had taken advantage Of the
kings regard for Humboldt to try get.
