He offered to lead the fright- ened girl safely home, She accepted his escort and followed’ him through the trees in the direction of a line of sheds.

An_ Interesting jection of Medals Struck in Honor of the Dead Chief- tain. From the New York Sun, Robert Hewitt, jr., @ prominent member of the American Numismatic and Archwological society, of New York, has a numismatic collec tion of special interest, because It differs greatly from the collections of coins upon which many distinguished numismatists pride themselves. This collection, instead of being made up af coins, comprises American political and mili- tary medals and tokens, Mr. Hewitt is the first numismatist who hit upon the idea of makiug auch a collection, and as he began it when still lad at school and kept his idea to himself he gota long start of others who bave followed in Is footsteps. As a result, his cabinet is the most complete in the country. In every presidential campaign since an early time in the history of the United States the par tisansot each candidate have issued m and tokens to be used as of loyalty. These bore the bust or fgure of the candidate of ieir choice and stirring mottoes, some of which have fe famous. Moreover, the government and military and civic socleties ave at Various times struck off medals com- memorative of important military and political events. Such are the medals and tokens com- prised in Mr. Hewitt’s collection. The most nu- merous are the Washington medals. There are so many of these that they may be sald to form & collection by themselves. Next In point of numbers come the Lincoln medals and tokens, and third those bearing the features of Grant, Mr, Hewitt believes that the Grant meaals and tokens will eventually outrank those of Lin- coln numerically. A great many of the Lincoln medals were struck off soon after his aasassina- tion, and should as many be struck off for Grant now that he has passed away, they will rank in umbers next to those of Washington. At the Polladelphia mint two litde silver medais have in struck, one ing Washington and Grant, the other Lincoln and Grant. qAnoitermint medal Js that voted, to Gen. rant by Cony in 1863.
