TOMB OF ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Resting Place of the Twelfth Presi-
dent of the United States Fast
Failing to Decay.

The tomb of Zachary Taylor, twelfth
president of the United States, is fast
falling to decay, says the Kansas City
World.
A correspondent who recently visited
The place says Tor over half a century it
has lacked the care of a kindly hand.
Apparently, nobody cares.
The tomb lies five miles from Louis
vile, and is somewhat off the road.
Ivy riots over the weather-beaten blocks
of granite. The fastenings on the door
are red with rust. So far as known, no
key has turned the locks for so years.
Visitors are rare. 1t is doubtful if half
q dozen tourists visit the tomb during a
tWelvemonth.
And this neglected spot is the last
resting place of the hero of The Black
Hawk and Florida wars. Here is the
dust of that great soldier, who, with
1000 American rifemen, drove in re-
treat 10000 MsXicans under Santa Ana
at Buena Vista. Here are the remains
OF the American Cortez and president
of the United States. He who conquered
the swamps and everglades of Florida
and made Mexico surrender is forgot
ten by his countrymen. Not one in
10000 knows the place of his sculpture.
The plaintive words of Rip Van Win
kle are appropriate: How soon we are
forgotten when we're gone!"

In this era Of Jew records it may not
be amiss to call attention to Squire
Samuel W. Hammers, a merchant of
Highland township, Gettys burg, Pa.
whose claim to fame as a record
maker is based IN the fact that he has
rejected 2,SG5 proposals of marriage.
Hammers is so years old. Some time

The More Mrs. Goldsmith Ate, the

Mrs. Harry Goldsmith of Hampstead,

New York some months ago and with

In a day or so she had entirely forgot
ten the circumstance. .
Mrs. Goldsmith has been having an

weeks and has been constantly thirsty.
She was also attacked with fits of dir
illness. Doctors remedies all failed
and she continued to become weaker

OLD WHALING CAPTAIN DEAD.
After Life Filled with Adventure,
Meets End on Land.

Capt. William Henry Hall. an old.
time New Bedford whaler, with an adj,
v~enturous career, is dead. Cant.
Hall was born at Oyster Bay. l.. l.,
seventy'two years ago, and took to
the life of a sailor when a youth.
He rose from a man before the mast
to the command of a whaling vessel
putting out from New Bedford. and
his adventures in the years he fol
lowed the sea covered all quarters OF
the globe, facing death a O of
times. As n whaler he penetrated far
into the arctic regions, and as the
commander of merchant ships sailed
four times around the world. He was
once east among cannibals in the
South Pacific, but escaped death by
winning their friendship.
On one of his trips he was ship
wrecked and with members Of his
crew was thrown upon a small desert
island. For forty days they main.
tanned life with birds eggs and such
sea food as they could get. Finally
Capt. Hall and three of the crew
volunteered to row to New Zealand
500 miles away, in n rowboat. After
a perilous trip they reached New
Zealand and returned to the island in
a schooner for their mates.

Millionaires as Writers.

William Waldorf Aston recently
bought Hever castle and in so doing
he came in possession Of an idea for a
story, which he has since printed in
the Pail Mall Magazine. II is an I'M
usually good story and Mr. Astor is
getting credit for having done a piece
of thoroughly good literary work. That
other eminent millionaire. Mr.. Car
reggie, has limited himself of late
years to founding libraries, instead OF
writing them. II Is said that when
Mr.. Gladstone read "A book by Mr.. Car
negie ne remarked that he admired
the courage OF a man who, without
showing how to write, wrote on IA sub
iect of which he knew nothing.
