This peculiarity finds expression in various places in bis journals and correspondence. While on a visit to some friends in the country, in 1850, he writes: & After breakfast I walked with the younz Iadles; nice, intellizent girls they are. A couple of ill-conditioned eurs went with us, whom they were foolish enouch to make pets of; so that we were regaled by a dog-fgbt, and were very near having on our hands two or three other fights. How odd that pcople of sense should find any pleasure jn being accompanied with a beast who is always spollibg convereation.” - Some six years later, the same feeling. i3 be- trayed in an account of another pedestrian ex- cursion: “I went to Oatlands, and walked with Margaret and Alice toa_most singular monu- ment of human folly. - The Duchess_of York had made a cemetery for her dogs. There is a atewsy like that under which coflins are laid in the churchyard of this part of the muntre‘ there is a sort of chapel; .and_thercare the sravestones of 64 of ber Royal Highness’ curs. On some of these mausoleums were inserip- tions in verse. I was disgusted by this exceed- ing folly. Humanity to the inferior animals I fegl and practice, 1 Hope, 4s much as any man; but seriously to make friends of dogs is ot my taste. I can understand, however, that even a sensible man may have a fondness for a dog. Butbidogs! \hy, it is hardly conceivable that there sbould ‘be warm affection in any eart for 64 human beings. I had formed a betier opinion of the Duchess.” A few days after the above paragraph was re- corded, Macaulay met, at a dinner at Lord Lyn- den’s, Lady Dufferin, who informed him that, when a girf, she and Mrs. Norton had been much at Qatlands, and that the epitaphs to the Duch- ess’ decrased pets were composed at the time by hiersclf and sister. She also related that “The great multitude of the graves might be ac- counted for by the fact that the Duchess was lagucd to death by presents of dogs, which she R:'d not like to refuse, and whickk would have turned her house into a kennel, if she had not given them a dose of opium, and seat them to the cemetery.” FAMILIAR TALK. The Literary Tastes of Lord Macaulay. What He Thought of Bulwer, Jeffrey, Brougham, Dickens, Homer, and Miss Austin. His Susceptibility to Tender Emotions, and His Lack of Affection 8 for Dogs. MACAULAY'S LITERARY TASTES. The- extracts from Macaulay’s journals and correspendence, which are given in his recent biography, contain frequent hints of his literary tastes, with concise bits of criticism upon books end authors, which are full of interest. While traveling in Italy, fn 1339, e enters in Bis diary the following comment upon Bulwer: “Onmy Jjourney through the Pontine Marsles, I finished Bulwer's ¢ Alice.? It affected me much, and foa way I have not been affected by novels these nany years. ‘Indeed, I generally avoid all noy- els which are said to have much pathos. The suffering which they produce is to mea very real sufiering, and of that I have quite enough without them. I think of Bulwer still as I have always thought. He has considerable talent and eloquence; but ke is fond of writing abont what 4e ouly half understands, or understands not at all. His taste is bad; and bad from a cause which lies decp, and is motto beremoved,— from want of soundness, manliness, and &im- plicity of mind. This novel, though better than anything of histhat I haveread, is far too Znn;.” On the publication of the volumes containing JefIrey's contributions to the Edinburg Revicw, Macaulay wrote to a fricnd: *‘I think that there are few things in the four volumes which one or two other men could not have done as well; but I donot think that any other man except Jeffrey—nay, that any three men—could have produced such diversified excellence. When I compare him with Sydney (Smith) and myself, I eel, with bumility perfectly siucere, ‘that his B I s ehavabes widie thn otrs. And this {s only as a writer; but he is not only u writer; he has been a great advocate, and he is a great Judge. Take him all in all, I'think him more nearly a unfrersal genius than any man of our time; certainly far more nearly than Brougham, much as. Brougham affects the char- scter. Brougham does one thing well, twa or three things indifferently, and a hundred things detestably. His Parlinmentary speaking is ad- irgble: his forensic speaking poor; bis writings, a1 the very best, second-rate.~ As to Lis bydro- statics, Lis political philosophy, his cimty Jude- ments, his translations from the Greek, they are really below contempt. Jefirey, KONEY. Some Facts in Regard to It. To the Editor of The T'ribune. Greex Bay, Wis., May 9.—Money at present is causing so much excitement throughout the whole United States, that perhapsafew facts in regard to its history may not be wholly uninter- csting: Money was’ called pecunia by the Romans, from the word pecus, meaning a fiock, becausk on their coinage was 2 rude imageof acow. The ancient modes of coining moncy were imperfect and clumsy, and not till the seventh century was anything like the present system of coining adopted in England and France. There was 2 Roman brass brass coin called as, which can now be found in the British Muscum, swhich was in extensive circulation, especially in the castern provinces of the Roman Empire, about the time of Angustus Cesar and bis im- mediate successors. The weight of the as was about 4,000 grains, and its nominal value, when in circulation, was about 18 mills of our money. Its usual weight was a pound of Roman brass, but it gradually diminished un- til it weizhed about 2 ounces; and the size of the other coins diminished as in valae to the as. All below the as were marked with globules to denote the number of ounces which they con- tained; the wncia, or ounce, bore similar glob- ules to denote the number of guadrans it con- tained; and the quedrans had representatives upon it to denote its valut. The as contained four guadrans. Thus, when in circulation, the value was easily made known te the people. Excepting in the earlier time of Rome, it bore 2. bead of the two-faced Janus on one &lde, and the prow of a ship on the other. There was u Grecian coin_called didrachma, equal in valne to two deaard, or 23 cents, and half the value of the Hebrew sheckel. ' The didrachma was the usual tribute paid by the on the other band, bas tred rothing in which he has not succeeded, ex- vept Parliamentary speaking; and there he ob- tained what to any other man would have been cat suceess, and disappointed his hearers only ccause their expectations were extravagant.’” Macanlay was peculiarly susceptible to tender emotions, and the tears were ever ready to brim over his eves. When the first number of “Dom- bev and Son ™ “app ke wrote toa friend: “There is not much in it; but there is one pass- age that made wme cry asif my heart would bresk.

It was his hebit to turn again and again to any author who had pleased or amused him, even after, :'LJIV means of his wonderful memory, he had ajl passages lcarncd by heart. e says, ‘“‘Henderson’s Tee- 3 favorite breakfast- ‘Why?

There were certain bad writers whose vanity and folly had aflavor of ];uculknflty which was frresistibly attractive to Macaulay. In August, 1859, he says to Lady Trevelyan: ¢ The books which ¥ bad sent to the binder are tome, and Miss Seward’s letters arc in 2 condi- tion to bear twenty more perusals.’” - Miss Austio continued to the Jast his favorite suthor of light literatare. In 1851 he states in his journal:” *Home, and finished *Persuasion.” I have now read oiice again all Miss Austin’s novels. Charming they are; but I found a little more to criticise lormerly. Yet there arc in the world uo compositions which approach nearer to perfection.” Seven years later he wTites fo the same comncction: “If I could get materials, I really would write a short life of that wonderful woman, and raise a little money to put up 2 monument to her in Win- chester Cathedral.” Macaulay was conservative in his literary pre- dilectious, and preferred the authors whom he bad learned to admire in bis youth to those who bad achieved fame inhis own generation. Some of the woet brilliant and infiuential writers of this century he actually neglected to read, or, if he did, it was with a curious want of apprecia- tion of their highest qualitics. On_this snbject his biographer remarks: “To be blind to the merits of a great author is a sin which brings its own penalts, and, in Mataulay's instance, that puufl; was severe indeed. “Little as he was aware of it, it was no slight privation that one who had by heart the ‘Battle of Marathon,’ as told by Herodotus, and the ‘ Rais? nf of the Sieze of Syracuse,’ as told by Thucydides, should have passed tbrough life “without - having fcit the glow which Mr. Carlyle’s story of the ¢ across the ravine at Dunbar could not fail to awake cven a Jacobite; that one who so keenly relished the exquisite trifling of Plato shonld never have tested the description of Cole- ridge’s talk in the ‘Life of John Stirling,’—a the Emperors, and were the eighth of an ounce, and equal to 14 cents of our money.

Afterwards the busts of deities were given, and, under the Emperors, the hiead of Creears appeared. Some tilne ago, in moving some old Wooden buildings in Charleston, S.°C., there were two curious coins found. One was about the size of 4 half-dollar,—one side having a_crowned head in the centre, and “ Guliomus IIT. Dei Gra.;" and the other side a vignette of compound coat~ of-arms, representing the three lions rampant of England, the thistle of Scotland, the harp of Green Erin, also a defaced_emblem which prob- ably designated the Princedom of Wales or the Ringdom of France, the quadruple erown, and along the circular border, * 1690 Jug.

The first Mint for coinfug meney in New Eng- Iand was erected in 1652. The money coined was shillings, sixpences, and_threepences. The law ordercd that they should have *Massachu- setts” and a tree on one side, and “New Eng- Jand” and the value of the coin on the other. This currency coutinaed not only to be used, but to be coined, for the perfod of thirty ycars or more. Bills of credit, or paper meney, appeared to have been issued by (?nr%linn in 1:01}.p Soon_af- ter the emission, the value fell one-third,—2£150 of Carolina currency being worth anly £100 of English coin. Howéver, in 1712 the South Caro- lina Legislature issued £48,000 in these bills of credit, to defray the expenses of their Indian war. _ Massachusetts, during the progress of King William’s war in 1691, was obliged to issue theae bills to pay her troops. Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey followed in 1709, for the same reason. The Legislature of Georgia, in 1760, issued bills ‘of credit amounting to % sterling. Several other instances of the same kind oceured in the Colonies. In June, 1773, the first Cougress issued these bills of credit; then the amount was §2,000,000. A little more than a 'i-uar after, $20,000,000 more was issued; and later, still more was issued: eo that, in 1780, there was at least $200,000,000 of Continental moncy in circulation, The Con- federation was pledged to redeem these bills, and the Colonics their proportion of them, by the year 1779, Still they soon began to lose their value, and in 1780 25 or 36 of thiscurrency would only pass for 31 of hard money. But this was ouly the beginning of its loss in value, and in 1779 $27 of it was not worth $1 of specie. A year later, $50 or $60in Lills of credit would ounly pass for §1in coin. About the middle of that year, these bills almost ceased to ireulate, and, when they did pass, it was ouly atone Lun- dn]:dth or five hundredth part of their nominal value. There were many reasons which produced this depreciation in a currencey which the nation had pledged itself to redeem. It was doubted whether the States were able to redeem these notes, and there was a distrust as to the faith of the States in regard to their redemption. Too much of it was issued, and the quantity was much increased by counterfeits and forgeries. It was for the pecuniary advantage of public agents to put large sumi in circulation, sincs tEcy received commissions proportionally to the amount of purchases for the arny. No measure of Congress, no inatter what its cause may have been, and however promising the first effects, ever produced in the end more mischief, by weakening and destroying public confidence, than the eniission of this Continental money. EATE ABRAMS, —— EARLY LAKE-REMINISCENCES, Written for The Tribune by ** Cupt. Sam." The highly interesting lecture by the Hon. Jobn Wentworth, on Sunday last, on the early days of Chicago, suggested to me the idea that perhaps some reminiscences of Lake-matters in thosc primitive times might be acceptable to the antiquarlan, and prove interesting to many of the later settlers. I took quite an actfve part fu the Leke-marine of those days, aud, having. diarized many exciting incidents, I refer to them often, with unalloyed delight. There were some notable men connceted with fresh-water navigation daring the thirties and forties,— men who would have made their mark any- where, and some of whose deeds and sayings are worthy of preservation from the overwhelming waves of Oblivion, ere its resistless surges have buried them from our memory forever.

FLORA ROUND ABOUT CHICAGO. TuE VIOLET Faymy—Of all the varie- ties of delicate and brilliant flowers that spring up spontaneously in our wilds, there are probably nome so well known and so universally loved as the Violets. The very name has the sweetest associations, for the flower is everywhere the emblem of the saintly virtues of modesty and purity. Tnorg_ ore seven different species growing in our vicnity, and all blossom early in the scason. First and most prevalent in the series is the common Blue Violet (Viola cucullata), which peeps out from amid the verdure in all mofst places. It needs no description, for every eye is familiar with its irregular form and rich-purple bue. The Downy-Yellow Violet (V. pubescens) flowers nearly as early, but fs much less abundant. Specimens may be found, however, lurking in the woods in various directions round about the d&y. A little later, the Lance-Leaved Violet s " lancelata) puts forth its blossoms in the amp woods at Hyde Park, Calumet, and on eastward. It is a diminutive species, and by no means common. The Sweet White Violet (V. blanda), the only one of the family with us which has the gift of fragrance, has been gathored in the woods north of the city-limits, but is so rare as to be a_great stranger.” 'The Arrow-Leaved Violet (V. sayitta- ts) is found at Hyde Park snd southward; and the Larkspur Violct (V. delphinifolia) in thc \\'ocdzvnt Hinsdale nx;d wes‘:‘\‘\“.xrfli ’%hc Bird- Foot Violet (T. pedata), a specics closely resem- bling the oue last mentioned, with leaves divid- ed into 8-5 narrow sections, and large, ‘pn.lcfl)ur- le flowest, grows in the saudy soil at Hyde g:u‘k and to the south of this point. It hus the choicest blossoms of all our Violets, aud is really gay with its blended colors; yet the sim- ple Blue Violet will surpass it in the_opinion of inost'pefsons, - There is a simple unpretension in the common Violet thatcontributes an ir- resistible charm, and we ask for no elaborate Farfations upon its plain. humble garniture. Gray mentions in his Flora 1§ species and sev- eral varietics of Violets; and Lindley gives 300 as the number of specics known to Science in his time. The greater portion of the family of thie Vioktcee are natives of Europe, Siberia, and America, and sre almost wholly Lerbaccous. Those which grow in the Tropics are muinly shrubby plants, of an aspect quite foreisn to our conception of the race. A considerable number of the species are indigenous to South America, while about 200 belong to the genus Viola. The Pansy, or 1leart’s Ease (V. triolor) ia very abundant in Britain and the northern’ parts of Europe, and to it are to be referred many of the large and beautiful varicties of Pausies culti- vated in onr gardens. From the V. allaica, a Siberian Violet, with large yellow or purple flowers, have been derived a gfnl number of elegant varietics. The Sweet-Seented Violet (T odorata), which we carcfully cnitivate, grows wild in Europe and Asia. Thé Himalayas pro- duce scveral species similar to those of Europe. The entire ordes, of Violet~Worts possesses an emetic property, which in some specics is so strongly developed as to make a valuable megdi- cine. "It is secreted chiefly in the juice of the roots, ‘The Jonidium and Cuchunclully of’ Peru are used us a substitute for ipecaceuanha. The leaves of the Conohoria Lobolobo of Brazil are employed like spinach. The Romans used to manufacture & wine from Violet-flowers; and, in preparations of tbgGmml Signor's sherbet, it is said they etill fori an ingrédient, But the {amily is not distinguished for its numbere, or for its useful qualities.” Its value rests chiefly upon the loveliness of various of its members,which is 0 exquisite as to leave nothing more to be desired. There arc certain of the creations of this world which fulfil] the noblest purpose by being simply beautiful, and among these may be nimed, without rescrve, the Violets. CENTRAL-ASIAN IITGIIWAYS. Schemes for creating two grand highways of traflic into Central Asla are receiving attention among the aathoritics chiefly interested. The Turkish Government, even in its crippled eon- dition, has cotertained the plan of constructing amailroad uniting the Mediterranean with the Persian Gulf, and concluded the preliminary survey. The work was performed under the di- Tection of the engineer, Joseph Cernik, during the latter portion,of 1872 and the early portion of 1873. A report of the results of the survey of two liues between the Mediterranean and Baghdad is published in supplement: parts of Lelerman’s Mitthedungen. I’%}m line leads out from Tarabulus through Northern Syria, 4 nlo¥ the natural boundary formed h{ the Nabr el Kebir to Homs and the Val- ley of the Orontes; then straicht. across tlie Syrian Desert, by the memoruole ruins of Palmym to the Valley of the Euphrates, and down its course, in country of increasing inter- est; through Bfi,’]ldnd, and the monumental ruing scattered along the Tigris levels, to Ar- Bel, the battlefield of Nangamela, to Nineveh and 'Mosul. Reaching the Upper’ Tigris and Kurdistan, we are conducted back by the route from Mardin to Diarbekr, crossing into the Upper Valley of the Euphrates, by Orfa; pass- ing the river at Birejik, the circait is completed through Aintab to ihe Mediserranean coast at M';;‘;nndram"h o " ¢ topography e belt of country on both sidcaggll‘ the route has been u\ru‘zuly studied_nnd mapped, and a good deal of mi- terial, lustrating the ethnology and geology af the regfon, has been collccted: The remaining scheme to which we have al- luded, i3 the union of the Black Sea with the Caspian, the practicability of which is discussed 0 the Grographical Uagazine. The Caspian Sea i5 84 fect below the ocean-level, and, by cutting a channel through from tle Sea of Azov, its Dasin would be filled, by the waters of the lat- ter, up to the ocean-level. “Nor would such an enterprise,” remarks the writer, “present the shadow of a difficulty to the enginecring genius which has already brought into being the gredt excavators that Were used in the Suez Canal. The result of the filling up of the Cas~ E!i;m basin wonld be the destruciion of Astra- chan, and of a1l other buildings situated below ocean-level on the ian Jittoral; and the project, therefore, would not appenr at first sight to be a desirable one.” Were the plan to he exceuted, the area of tle Caspian would -be fncreased from 140,000 square miles to 250,000 square mijleg, and an oceau-route be opened to the shore of the sea. COLORS OF INSECT-SPECIMENS, The Eotomological Society of Belgium has been Investigating the subject of the proserva- tlom of the colors of Inscets exposed fn public collections. It was suggested that the light in the apartments containing entomological cabi- pets should pass through yellow glass; and, in order to dotermine the eflects of this arrange~ ment, Mr. Capronnfer was appointed to institnte a series of experiments. Green and carmine are the colors most casily injured by light; there- fogre M. Capronuier took the inferior wings of Euchelia Jacobae, which are of a deep and uni- form tone of carmine, for use inhis experiments. Placing a wing in each of four boxes, he sub- ected one to the pure daylight, anofher to 2 lue light, a third 'to a green light, and the fourth toa_yellow light. ‘At the end of fifteen dags, the tint of the wing in_ the first box wns visibly changed; after thirty days, it was consid- erably altered; and, in ninety days, it was under- golng rapid destriction. The result wa the samc with the wing exposed to the blue hght. The wing subjected to the green light was unchanged at the end of fiftcen days, but showed signs of Inding in thirty days, which had decidedly increased by the ninetieth day. During the entire torm of the cxperiment, the wing éxposed to the yellow light prescrved almost fntact its carming hues yet the faint alteration perceptible indicated that the colors in insect-collections will changs iu time, unless they are kept in total garkness. In the report which M. Capronnier presented to the Society, he recommended that yellow be the prevailing tint throughout the rooms bold. ing “entomological colicetions on exhibition, The cloths covering the cases should be yellow, 2nd s6 shonld be the blinds to the windoiws. —— FLOWERS IN THE DARK. In Sach’s * Text-Book of Botany, it is stated that no effect is produced upon the ecolor of tlowers by growing them in the dark. Healthy FPlants, baving tuberous or bulbons roots (with which the experiment was tried), devcloped flowers of the usual form and tint, although both flowers and leaves were unfolded in a dark room. Plants which had their leaves exposed to the sunlight, but their flower-beds covered with, opaque cases, perfected the process of blassom ng without auy or with very Httle alteration H?c normal shapes and tints: In 1873, Mr 1. C. Sorly conducted anumber of experiments testing the matter, and found some consideruhly changcs in color among his results, The hues st the Orange Lily (Zilium aurantiacun) remuined unaltered, but that of the Erysimun Lerglfskia- aum was' changed by o moderate degree of darkness. The Orange Marigold was also greatly changed. Sorly is inclined to refer this difference in results to the fact that the orange tint in plants is due to entirely different sub- stanees, which are not equally stable. Ashennsy performed similar experiménts Jast summer, Wwith results confirming those of Sorly, The conclusion fs, that som¢ plants need the light to perfect the color of their fowers, and 2hets are quite independent, of it. FELINE. . There is a common {mpression prevailing that white cats with Dlue eyes -are invariably deaf; but a Ietter from a New Zealand correspondent, printed in Nafure, shows that they are not so in all eases. At Taranki, N. Z.,” says the writer, “I saw a white cat with blue eyes which was not at all deaf, and a good many of its Kittens were white and had light-blue eyes. As many of these had perfect hearing as were afflicted with deafness. This cat had a grown-up kitten, perfectly black, which had “sometimes also White young ones with blue cyes; it showed, as did the old cat, o singular partiality for them. On one oecasion it happened that the old white cat and ber bluck d.-m%hter had kittens at the same time; amongst them there was only one white kitten with blue eyes,—the black cat’s. The two fought fiercely for possession of the coveted beauty, and the old cat frequently took it awny and placed it amongst her own. One morning the unfortunate object of quarrel was found divided by the recommendation of some fuline Solomon, and each cat ?uiw contentedly in possession of hall. Both of these litters had some tortoise-shell colored kittens among them, of which & moicty appeared to have their hear- ing imperfect. —_— LIEUT. CAMERON. A large 2nd distingaished audicnce sssembled at the meeting of the Royal Geographical So- ciety, April 11, to grect the successful African explorer, Lieut. Cameron. The Duke of Edin- burg wes infthe Chair, aud in well-chosen words introduced the hero of the hour to the people be- forehim. After arehearsal of the main events of his expedition by Lieut. Cameron, a summary “of the work which he had accomplished in the aid of Science was made_by Sir Henry Rawlin- son. In conclusion, the last-named speaker an- nounced that the Council of the Society had awarded “the blue ribaud of scientific geogra- ply,” the principal medal of the year, tothe courageous traveler. The French Geographical Society would have congerred a medal upon Licut. Cameron at its last meeting were it not that 2 rule of the So- ety forbids the presentation of a prize toany explorer who has not published an' uccount of his discoveries. 1ti s the intention of the Socie- 1y to bestow upon him tho great medal of 1777 in case the conditions of the rule cited be by that time complied with. IEALTH AND LONGEVITY. It would seem, from the statistics gathered by medical men, that invalids are more likely to attain a great age than are the healthy and ro- bust; and that life-assurance companies would be wise to accept them as patrons, instead of re- jecting them, as is now-the custom. In a recent, lecturc by Dr. R. Southey, it is declared that ‘“Health and longevity arc mot synonymous; neitber are health and great muscularity. The nost muscular men, great prize-fighters, men who could fell an ox with their fists, have becn known 10 bc always ailing, and complainiog about themselves. The state of perfect train ing, regarded by those who know little of it as a condition of most perfect health, is rather one of morbid imminence. Longevity, like height, s a race-attribute, but it does not signify health, The three oldest people 1 ever knew—women who reached respectively §9, 85, and 100—were ;ulctu‘djnm:ns, and been so nearly all their lives.” TITE SIBERIAN EXPEDITIONS. Three expeditions will, during the coming summer, engage in exploring different routes of travel connecting Europe with Siberia. We have already given an account of the German expedition under the command of Drs. Finsch and Brehm, which will descend the Obi to its mouta, and returnu thence to Tobolsk by one of the steam vessels employed in the fishing trade. A second party, equipped by Russian merchants, und furnished with two ships, will examine the Arctic coast between the Gulf of Archangel and the estuary of the Obl. The third expedition will be conducted by Prof. Nordenskiald, who intends to test the comnmercial value of the new linc of traflic opened up by his last season’s YOy~ age, by convoylag a cargo of Siberian graphite over the new route. BRIEF NOTES. A new work by Charles Darwin, having for its subject experiments in the fertilization of flowers, is announced by Murray, of London. The German Committee for the London Loan Eshibition of Scientific Apparatus report that 3811 German exhibitors will be represcnted by 2,403 objects, ranged in nineteen classes. 1t is stated that the number of establishments manufacturing phosphorus is now fifteen. Nearly one-half of these are in Germany. The total quantity of the product is above 250 tons annually, one-half of which is used in tipping matches.

Some of our readers may remember Zhomme 1a fourchetle, or the young man who swallowed a fork, and may be glad " to hear farther of this sin- olarcase. We have bad two of the kind,—the lalian, Cipriana, and the young Tark, Léauer. XNearly two yeurs azo he wag at table with. some comrades, ¥ho were conversing abont the Indiag Juzglers and thelr trick of swallowing 2 gward. Lesur claimed that it was very simple, and, to prove his assection, took a fork by the tines &nd pushed it down his'throat. A spoamodic contrac- tion of the organs took it from his fingers and car- rivd it down the pasasga into the stormuch. For a {ong thne efforts were made to reach the fork by the mouth, brt it was finally ascertained to be in hiy stomuch, und Lesuer was given up for lost. Ie waa shown at clinical lectures, and then went into the country. A report cune that he was dead, wid 1 bejfeve that I published it as_a fact.

Twenty-five ycars azo a poor German emi- grant named August Salpius came over the sea to scek better fortune in the Western States of America. e was then 35 years of age, unmar- ried, and ignorant of any language cxeept that of his mother-country. By chance rather than preference he made Columbus his home, casily tinding employwent in a drug-store, as he wis soon found to be a first-cluss apothecary. He was a dry, odd, and uncompanionable Kind of man, but Won the respect of his employers by his sobriety and attention to business.” After having elerked two years at Columbus he scems to have found himsel! sufficiently wealthy to re- sign his situation and come to Cincinnati for the purpose of establishing a drug-store of his With his hard savings—the result of as~ cetically rigid economy—he succeeded in open- ing a rctail drug business at No. 440 Walnut strect. o He rented the first floor of the building,which camprised two rooms—the store, only 13x15 feet, and a small back room, 12x12 féet. He converted the back room into a sleeping apart~ ment, barred up the windows and the back door, and rendered the little chamber as gloomy and darksome as possible. Here be slept and ate, year after year, without lizht, comfort, or ven- tilatlon. _His breakfast and sup];ler consisted of weak coffee, heated on oue of those little her- maphrodite stoves which a poor family may use citlier for cooking or heating purposes.~ For dinner, in the years before the War, he went to Gentschs beer-saloon, on Vine street, near Tiwelfth, where he could get a beefsteak for 10 cents and a glass of beer for 3 cents. This was his noon-day meal for years and years, and he was never known to purchase two glasses of beer at meul-time, or to disburse more than 13 cents for a dinner before the War. In latter years he changed his dining-place to a Germaa boarding- Louse on Court street, where he could obtain ameal for 25 cents. But he evidently consid- ered this too much money to spend at one time in the satisfaction of hunger, as he continually grumbled at the cost of bis_food. For twenty- three years he lived thus, always slecping in the same small, noisome room, eating the same coarse food, and malntaining the same strict rules with regard to business hours. The store was always opened carly in the morning, and always close late at nizht. During those long years the old man had po companions, no Iriends, no confidants. Occasionally, when busi- ness was brisk, or when he felt seriously ill, or when it was necessary to leave his liaunt in'or- der to replenish _his ‘stock, he would employ a boy about 11 or 12 years old to attend to'the store for a nominal Salary. But he would never keep boys for any length of time, discharging them with harsh words and without cause, sim- Iy to save the expense of their pitiful salaries. e would never trust customers, never lend money, and never spend a cent for his own pleasure or for that of others. Neither was he ever kpown to put money out at interes Folks always thousght him too cautions to keep any large quantity of moncy about his preu- ises, and the old man was perfectly well aware that they thought s0. So he piled up his moncy amid pale dust and black spider-webs and broken medicine-bottles, feeling assured that 1o humau being knew anything about it; cating stalc bread and weak coffce, discliarging his fortunate boys, and_gradually growing gr: the gray dust upon his bed-room floor, in which the dg:z of glootn-loving insects left elfin-shaped track: But last summer the old man began for the first time in a quarter of a century to gossip a Jittle about his own affairs. He told people that he would sell out his business and visit the old country. He had also become weak and broken down in health; his Iower limbs had become like those of the ancient ascetics, fearfaily affected with ulcers, by reason of 'bis inactivity and wretched living; and he evidently feli that to continue much longer in his business would hasten death rapidly. Nevertheless he lingered still in the old drug-store for months, until it be- came difficult for him to move his bandaged legs. A purchaser was found for the store at §1,%00, sod August Salpius was satisfied with the bar gain, ter the necessary arrangements in re- gurd to the transfer had bicen made, he then re- quested adruggist friend to_find out for him what silver coin was worth. It was then worth 1052nd 108. On being asked how much silver coin he had, the old man said he did not really know himsclf, but he eupposed he had between $8,000 and $4,000, mostly in 50-cent picces. He was asked to go home and count them, and he was occupiedin countiug for more than two days. Onreturning to his friend he remarked that he hated to part 5o soon with his money, but that the office safe was not big enoush o hold itall. The silver had been lying idle in his bedroom since 1850: he had not time, he averred, tolose in putting it out at intepest. His friend succeeded in sl ing the coin for him at 106, and as it weighed nearly four hundred Pounds, a wagon had to be procured in order to etch it to a Third street bank. tained a check for the silver sold, iz up the street with his friend the old man asked for advice as to how he could Dest invest the balance of his money. He wes then advised to bu) Guvcrnmcmbon&, especial- 1y as he purposed leaving the country. To this he replied that be had ‘considerable money in bonds, and was willing toinvest part of his ready money in the same, but that he wished to divide his money. He did not want to put all of his wealth on board one vessel, as there were such things as shipwrecks and dynamite fiends. He then stated, Yo the astonishinent of his hearers, that he had §15,000 more in bonds, about $18,- D N cwrrency, and between $14,000 and $15,000 in gold coin. In fine, it turned out that during” the twenty-three years of his miserable existence in &ndnnnt August Sal- gins had hoarded upa property wort] 10,000, most of which, in coin and currency, had been lying jdle_in'a dark and filthy bace room of the store. He could not * be bothered about fnvesting it,” he exclaimed, in reply to the surprise expressed by friends upon learn- Ing these things. *Even the bonds, amounting t0"§15,000, belonged to an_old denominatiog that had been called in in 1872, and had ceased to bear interest since that year. Salpius finally determined to buy gold drafts on European bankers, and prepare o leave the country. Outhe day before Yesterday he left New York for Bremen. Tiwenty-five years of loneliness and self-abne- gation, of conifortless labor and cheerless. con. nement, of squalid wretchedness in the midsg of wealth, of heart-gnawing anxfety for the safety of that wealth, of self-inflicted hunger and cold and sickness, of days never brightencd by the ghost of a sensual enjoyment, of even- ings never charmed by the presence of woman or the caress of a child!
