THERE al no name more generally
known in all this broad land, thirty
years ago, than that of George Francis
Train. He was a "freak," a "crank,"
or this or that, according to the per-
son speaking of him; but he was a
celebrity. Then he dropped out Of
the public ken, and the first indication
for years of his still tarrying on the
hither side of the dark river was given
by the daily press in an item referring
to his having been released from a
smallpox hospital at Stamford, Conn :,
one day last week. All his clothes and
papers-the latter containing letters
from many famous persons - were
burned, to prevent infection, and he is
in%consolable in consequence. Poor
old man! Naught remains for him but
the bitterness of no earthly future.
