Shannon's Model:
Immediately to the right of the space
in the handsome galleries of the Acad
emy of Design, allotted to water colors,
there has been since the opening night
of this annual exhibition, a large va
cant space. The fact that the position
is one of the best lighted in the room,
makes visitors who are wholly igno-,
rant of the troubles of "hanging com
mittees," wonder why it is not tilled.—
Borne of the invited guests, who were
present on the opening night and re
member the scene which occurred in
front of the large painting- catalogued
"No. 123, Venue Rising from the Bea,"
which hung there for that single even
ing, may know why it hangs there no
longer, and it may be they are aware of
the romance connected therewith ; but
few, even of these, can have heard the
particulars - of the final denoument of
"this singular family history ; hence I
•
tell 11:
In the spring of 1865, Mr. Thomas B.
dShannon entered my study, and throw
,ing himself on the lounge with a fa
itlgued air, exclaimed :
Well, congratulate mel"
" Ou what?"
1' Work is over, and I am ready at
last for my two years' holiday."
" Yuur work is about to begin, I sup-
pose you mean?"
"No, no, I say. It is over, I tell you.
Oh 1 you don't know my dear fellow,
the drudgery of talking commissions;
the dettleurieut of money matters ; the
drawing up of terms ; the closing of
bargains with titans and checks, which
I can't understand. Painting the pie
tures is nothing. That is the labor that
physics all pain—the labor I delight in.
Painting is pleasure."
But to be more brief, Shannon ex
plained that the commissions which he
had sought had been obtained, and he
was authorized to make one large eques
trian portrait, two large paintings illus
trative of mythological subjects, and
several from sketches of war incidents
and American scenery. Among them
was one of " Venus Rising from the
Sea," for Mr. Gideon L. Vauderwater,
of this city, a gentleman of culture and
weulth;well known byAle artists as a
libels patron, patron, and adinad by them as
a sensible and critical donnoisseur of
the tine arts. The artist was very wise
ly uninstructed iu his treatment of the
rather hackneyed theme; a handsome
sum was named us the price of the plc
ture, and the privilege of exhibiting it
before its delivery to the purchaser was
also claimed and granted.
It is not necessary to narrate at this
point the incidents of Shannon's two
and a half years' stay in Rome ' or to
notice in detail the result of his labors.
Only one of the incidents of that resi
dence, and only one of the pictures
painted by him have aught to du with
this history. The incident will be men
tioned in its proper place, the picture
was the one ordered by Mr. Vander
water, and which, us 1 have before
stated, hung for a single night in the
Academy of Design, New York, cata
loge ll "No. 123. Venus rising from
the Sea. T. 13. Shannon."
Unfortunately for me, as the narrator
of this story, I did nut arrive at the
Academy of Design on the opeuiug
night of the exhibition of 1868, until a
late hour In the evening. T am com
pelled to give the facts of the 'occur
rences ou that evening, from the state •
meats made to me by Mr. Shannon.
The painting arrived from Europe but
a few days behire the evening of the ex
hibition, and was hung immediately,
without being previously shown to Mr.
Vanderwater. It was, therefore, only
after being there displayed, that, Mr.
Vandereih i ter saw it.
lie entered the Academy on the eve
ning in question, in company with his
sister and his youngest daughter, his
wife and his eldest daughter being at
this time in Europe: Soon after enter
ing the rOl/111 Ite descried Mr. Shannon,
and making his way through the crowd
he addressed him, and weleolned him
home in very warm terms. At the end
of the conversation Miss Vanderwater,
taking Mr. SiILUSIIOLCS arm, joined with
her lather in begging the artist to guide
them to the picture in which they were
all interested—either as painter or pur
chaser. Shannon might have consist
eutly declined in the mixed crowd
present, all of whom could not know
the circunishinces of the case, and the
relation of the parties to hinistlf as ram
as the picture was concerned, hut hay
lug no false modesty, and caring little
for the opinion of those of the crowd
who did not him, and not fearing
that of those who did, he acted as this
guide of Mr, Vauderwater and tin
ladies, and ,scort,tl them to the picture
On first lookitig at the palming tier
came from Mr. Vatiderwater and M.
fair companionssiu ultan UOLIN cries, not
of admirsiion, but of astonishment.
Miss Vanderwater dropped the arm of
the artist, and convulsively clasped that
of her father, pointed nervously to the
picture and whispered iu his ear. His
sister mule similar movements, buried
exchange of whispers was had between
the two ladies. Mr. Vanderwuter pass
ed his hands before his eyes, readjust
ing his eye-glasses, as if fearful they
hail deceived him, and then, after a few
seconds (f observation of the picture, he
turned full upon Mr. Shannon, who
stood slightly iu the background. A
number of the promenaders, attracted
by the strange mariner of Mr. Vander
water and the ladies, had gathered near
by, and now observed, with evident in.
terest, the scene enacted before the pic
ture.
At length Mr. Vanderwater spoke ,
addressing himself to Mr. Shannon it
curt but still impassioned phrases,
which the emotion he felt was smother
ed; but concealed.
" The lace of your Vz.nus is not a con
ceptiou of your own?" he asked.
Mr. Shannon did not. answer.
"It is a portrait?" continued Mr.
Vanderwater, still interrogatively.
Still Mr. Shannon did not answer. He
afterwards confessed to me that he was
somewhat surprised by the questions.
" Caine, sir," continued Mr. Vander
water, "you must answer. You had a
model for that face—and figure?"
" Yes," answered Shannon. " Yes, I
had a model."
" Who ?"
" I beg your pardon, Mr. Vauderwat.
er ; that you have no right to ask,"
" But I do ask ; I will know—l have
a right."
" W hen you have proved the right I
may answer the question."
" This is too easily proved, I fear.
Here! " he exclaimed, seizing and
opening a locket which hung around
his daughter's neck ; " do you see that"
That is her portrait."
"Good heavens!" exclaimed Shannon.
looking at the face in tile locket. "How
came you by this?"
"It is the satin., then?
"The Hanle? yes! Itut how here—
how came you with it? "
" Easily enough, sir. The lady--your
model, sir," with a sneer and a curl of
his lip, " is my wife."
Before Shannon could speak, Mr.
Vanderwater turned and said :
"You shall hear from me again."
And, full of rage, the old man left the
room, bearing tile ladies on his arms,
and endeavoring as best he could, but
with little success, to conceal the emo
tion and excitement tinder which he
was laboring.
Shannon was utterly dumbfounded
by the denouement, and I found him on
entering the Academy, ten minutes
after this occasion, endeavoring to recoil
elle the conflicting facts. He at once
informed cue of the incident—the simul
taneous recognition, lay Mr. Vander
water, his sister and daughter, of the
remarkable portrait, 'the statement of
-Mr. Vandettvater that the model was
hls wife, the possession by him of a
photograph of the, lady, anti yet the im
possibility of her being, as he asserted;
his wife.
He suddenly turned to me and said :
"Has Mr. Vauderwater been twice
married ?"
"No," I answered.
"Then his wife, if the mother of the
• young lady I ' met last evening, is a
woman of forty or mole."
"About forty-two. I should say. She
Married young."
" Then it cannot be her. But, pshaw !
what am I thinking of? Of course she
can't be Ills wife, as—"
He hesitated and I asked," Why !"
" It's of no consequence. She is a
young woman not over nineteen."
" Did you explain this?" •
"I had not time. He left me so
abruptly."
"You can't, of course, satisfy him
that the lady was not his wife."
" I can at least assure him so, for I
never, saw Mrs. Vanderwater in my
life."
"Yet she has been for a year past In
Europe—last winter in Rome."
"Singular, isn't It? Nevertheless my
model was not Mrs. Vanderwater."
" Who was she?"
"A young Italian girl whom I met
en route to Florence in 1865, when I
was going to Rome. She was alone—in
trouble—evidently flying from some
one. I protected her, and she accom
panied me to RoMe."
" Where you set her up in business
as a model, and otherwise protected—"
•'• Stop, Harry! no jokes on that sub
ject!"
' I beg your pardon, my boy, but—"
"I can tell you no more than this."
THE LANCASTER WEBICLYINTELLIGENCER, ‘v D NESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1865:
"Will that satisfy Vanderwater ?"
"To tell you the truth, my dear fel
low, I don't care whether it does or not.
I shall explain no further."
On the following day I saw Mr. Van
derwater. I was not authorized by
Shannon to do so, but I presumed on
our long friendship—though somewhat
cooled since his return from Rome,
some other friend haying won some of
his affection—to act ip his interest. Mr.
Vanderwater gave me a warmer recap
tion, on my announcing my business,
than I expected, and at once took me to
his library.
"I had to send for you for Mr. Shan
non's address," he said.
I named his hotel. Ile had usually
stopped at my house ; but on his return
he had gone to a quiet hotel in the city,
and had declined to make my house his
home as usual.
" Thank you. I would prefer to com
municate with him through you, if you
are in any way authorized to act for
him in the matter of our business ar-
rangements."
"But I am not," I answered.
" Then, will you not act for me? I
am desirous of closing our agreement
for this picture. lam ready to pay the
balance due him, and will make him a
liberal allowance in addition to the sum
agreed on, if he will renounce the privi
lege of exhibiting it further."
" I think that he will consent to the
removal ; but he will decline any con-
sideration for doing so."
" Thaok you. Will you see him, give
trim this check—filling It up for the
amount you can agree on as right, you
acting for me—and obtain his consent
to the withdrawal of the picture from
the Academy "
I did so. I saw Shannon paid the
balance, closed the account and carried
his transfer of the picture to Mr. Van-
•
derwater.
The same day the picture was removed
from the Academy, and passed into the
hands of Mr. Vauderwater. What dis
position was made of it at the time I do
not know.
As we left the building, Mr. Vander
water requested me to go with him tai
his residence, as he had a second and
more serious communication to make
through me to Mr. Shannon. We got
into a cross town car, which was passing
the Academy at the moment, and started
for his house.
As we wero making a short curve in
front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel at
Madison Square, I was suddenly ro used
rrom some meditations into which I had
fallen, by a sharp, nervous grasp on my
arm. I turned in my seat. It was Van
derwater who had started me. He was
bent in his seat, gazing fiercely through
the low windows of the car, and point
ing at an open carriage, which came
from lower Fifth Avenue, and was cross
ing the square going north.. In It sat
Shannon and behind him a lady.
I recognized Mrs. Vanderwater !
Her husband, too, had seen her, but
instead of springing from the car and
pursuing the carriage, which was now
passing rapidly up Fifth Avenue, he
sat like one in a stupor. He did not
speak a work, but sat like a statue in
his place and almost as white and cold.
When we bad reached the street car
route nearest to his house, we got out.
He took my arm but showed no other
sign of emotion. We walked a block,
and turned the corner nearest his house.
We were surprised to find a carriage at
the door, and the
. servants removing
baggage from it into the house. He
quickened his step, drawing me rapidly
with him. As he entered the gate Bud
was ascending the steps, a slight scream
was heard in the parlors, followed by a
cry of "Papa! pupa!" and there came
bounding out to meet him, a young girl
Mill in her traveling dress. She threw
her arms around his neck. It was his
daughter—the one who had been travel
ing in Europe with her mother. She
smothered him with kisses, and he car
Heti her, half fainting with joy, and
amidst convulsive sobs, into the parlor,
whither I followed. Miss Vanderwater
was there, and seeing my natural em
barrassment, she came up to me and
told me the •particulars of her sister's
unexpected arrival. Her statement was
interrupted by the father, who started
up and asked wildly.
" And your mother—where is she ?"
"She remains iu Europe," answiyed
leis dau_hter. "Oh ! papa—"
" Europe? Are you sure ?"
" Yes, yes • but let me te11...y-o'6 all
about it. Oh, papa? do you know ma
thinks she has found Nellie ?"
"Found Nellie !" exclaimed the
father.
" Oh, it is so strange ! When we were
in Home early this year, the Consul
there told ma of a lady who had lately
married a friend of his,and who strange
ly resembled her; and the likeness wa:
so remarkable that the Consul after
ward frequent.y referred Wit. One day,
be brought us herkhotograph ; he told
us that the lady a her husband had
left Rome for Paris, and that he sup
posed there was no harm in showing us
the photograph as confirmation of what
lie had said about the likeness. When
lie gave photograph to mamma, she just
glanced at it and fainted away "
Mr. Vauderwater stared
daughter in amazement.
When she came to, which was in a
few moments, she said to me, "It is
your sister,—dear, I feel it is my lost
baby." The Consul did not know what
it all meant, and I was too much agi•
tated to tell him. When ma was suf
ficlently calmed she told him the story
of how Nellie had been lost in Paris,
fifteen years before, and how all search
for her had been in vain. He at once
became interested in the case, and set
persons to work to trace up the gentle
man and his wife; He said the gentle
man had strong reasons for wishing
the marriage a secret—that he wished
to conceal Nellie'cinteeedents. Oh,
papa, she had been a model for one of
the artists in Rome"—and amidst her
sobs the agitated young girl went on to
explain that the Consul and Mrs. Van
derwater were in Paris, endeavoring to
trace the couple whose names he would
not divulge; while she, the daughter,
had been hurried home to inform her
father of the discovery.
Instantly the truth flashed upon both
our minds—the father's and mine.
" Quick, Quick !" he said to me "You
can catch them In the coach. Bring
them here immediately!"
I needed no bidding. I sprang Into
the coach from which Miss Vander
water's baggage had by this time been
removed, and after a few words of di
rection to the driver I was soon whirl
ing through the avenue in the direction
of Central Park. 'lt was only after
passing as rapidly as the rules permitted
through the lower part of the park, that
I descried Shannon's carriage in the
distance, near the Croton Reservoir, be
yard the Ramble. I ordered the coach
man to drive up to It, and hailing
Shannon, I sprang out of my coach and
went up to his. The lady drew her veil
more closely about her face, and Shan
non. rising In his seat, endeavored to In •
terpose his body between her and me.
" Shannon, I knew all," I said.
"Know all? What can you mean,
my friend"
" Let use talk to you in quiet, you and
your wife," I said.
He sat down again—sank back, as it
were, in his seat. I sprang into his
coach, and ordered his driver to turn
back. Shannon made no resistance;
the lady simply grasped his arm and
asked what it all meant?
" I hardly know, my dear," he said ;
"but there is no reason to be . alarmed.
I confess," he added, turning to me
and smiling "I am somewhat aston
ished.''
I explained in a few words, so that
the lady might, understand as well as
he, and wound up by telling him the
suspicion of Mr. Vanderwater and my
self that this was the lost Nellie.
On the way to Vanderwater's, Nellie
told her history as far as she herself
knew it, Her early life had been spent
roaming about Europe: her parents—
those she had known as such—were
itinerant organ grinders, who roamed
about France and Germany and Eng
land. When she was ten years old they
left her with a wine-grower in Italy,
and she had labored in the vineyard.
Subsequently, when older, she had fled
from the harsh treatment which she had
endured in the wine grower's family,
and in her flight she had encountered
Shannon. He had taken her with him
to Rome, educated her, and eventually
had married her.
I shall not attempt to describe the
scene when we entered•the house. It is
impossible to paint such painfully pa
thetic scenes without in some is-ay de
tracting from their pathos and beauty.
The reader's imagination can supply a
better description.
The remarkable likeness was not only
proof of the relationshillwhich was usu
ally adduced. There w ound in Mrs.
Shannon's possession in a ket mark•
ed N. T., and containing a p it of
Mrs. Vanderwater at twenty, which
proved a perfect picture of Nellie at her
present age. The relationship was sat
dsfactorily proved; Mrs. Vanderwater
was summoned from Paris by telegraph
and those curious for proof of the truth
of this strange statement will find her
name In the list of arrivals by the Hel-
vetia od the 27th of June.
It is unnecessary, of course, to pur
sue this denouement further; the reader
must intuitively know that painting,
painter, and model have become domi
ciled in the house of their own father.
Love and Lunacy.
A most extraordinary case has trans
pired, and is soon to be brought before
Judge Sutherland, of this city, in which
the honor and good name of a family
that has given to the Republic one of its
most distinguished soldiers is involved.
Major-General George G. Meade, who
commanded the Union armies at Gettys
burg. has a brother name Richard W.
Meade, who was well known in past
years to the public of this city and
Brooklyn as the commodore of the
receiving-ship North Carolina at the
Brooklyn Navy-yard. Commodore
Meade was born in Minorca, an island
belonging to Spain, in the Mediterra
nean, at the time when his father was
United States Minister at the Court of
Spain. General Meade was also born in
Spain during his father's residence
there. Commodore Meade received
his commission as midshipman in
the navy in 1826, and served the
flag in various capacities until July,
1862, when he was promoted to
the rank of captain. During the war
Captain Meade was in command of the
receiving-ship North Carolina, and
while in that position exhibited traces
of mental excitement and eccentricity
which made him noticeable to strang
ers. The old veteran who had smelt
the brine in active service for so many
years, found service at the Navy-yard
very irksome, and sought for assign
ment to duty where the cannon's smoke
and conflict of battle might rehabilitate
his rather shattered nerves. The gov
ernment, at his solicitations granted
him his request, andappointed Richard
W. Meade to the command of the first
class steamship San Jacinto, a vessel
constructed in 18-50 at the Brooklyn
Navy-yard, and which was famous for
having taken part in the attack on the
barrier forts in China, and also for having
overhauled the steamer Trent while
Commodore Wilkes had command of the
San Jacinto, when Mason and Slidell
were captured. The San Jacinto also
allowed the Alabama to slip away from
her at Martinique one night, to go forth
burning and destroying merchantmen.
It was CO this vessel that Captain Meade
was commissioned in the tall of 1863,
and while in command of her, the San
Jacinto was driven ashore on the Flori
da Reefs, the vessel being a total loss
The skill and vigilance of Capt. Meade
under the pressure of this disaster, or,
at least, his soundness of mind and
judgment, had to undergo a great deal
of severe .criticism ' and on his arrival
I home he was tried by a commission for
whatever indiscretion the loss of his
vessel involved, and was censured and
subjected to three years suspension from
duty. The judgment of the commis
ion was however set aside in deference,
as it was then believed, to the eminent
services of his brother Gen. Meade, 'and
Captain Meade's name was placed on
the retired list without any loss of his
rank or standing. Captain Meade had
his temper soured by his uufOrtunate
experience of active service - rand many
things combined to make his minci uu•
settled.
Captain Meade's family consisted of
his wife, his son, Lieutenant Com
manding R. W. Meade, Jr., who was at
one time in charge of the gunboat Mar
blehead on blockading duty, a very gal.
lant and brave officer, and two (laugh.
tars, fair as lillies and blooming as June
roses. It was said that these two young
ladles far surpassed all Brooklyn femin
ines for their charms of loveliness, and
accordingly many admirers paid suit to
the beautiful daughters of Captain
Meade. But the veteran was a stern
parieut " and warned off all suitors in
melodramatic voice. tiotne four or
ve months since, however, a lady
friend of the Meade family, who is gifted
with great match-making propensities,
had the audacity to introduce to the
bosom of the Meade family a gallant,
rich, and beautiful young onto who had
amassed, it is said, the sum of $BOO,OOO
in land speculation iu Vineland
New Jersey. This young gentleman
was not slow in making advances
to one of the Young ladies, who
soon "reciprocated" his affection, as the
poetical slang of the present day terms
love-making. After a short but sweet
love-making our ardent friend pro.
posed and was accepted, after proper
inquiries had been made as to his pr.
vious history. Mrs. Capt. Met,de was
very well pleased with the manner in
which matters were proceeding, as she
tad obtained a most excellent and well
to do son- in-law, but with Capt. Meade
It was different. The old sea dog waxed
tierce at what he believed to be a most
decided piece of impertinence on the
oart of the lady who had introduced the
Vineland proprietorihto his house, with
a view to stealing ;away one of his
daughters. Besides Capt. Meade be
lieved that the blood of the Bourbons,
the Brunswicks, Hapsburgs, and several
other noble houses channelled his blue
veins, and he was exceedingly full of
wrath at the idea that a mere specula
tor should become allied with the House
of the Meades.
The aged veteran met some opposi
tion in his own family, and a return of
his periodical irritability seemed once
more imminent. He is reported to have
told the lady-friend who introduced the
Vineland speculator to the bosom of his
family, that he "thought she had a gre t
deal of impudence iii' introducing the
d speculator, and he wanted her
to know that his children were never
intended to be placed on exhibition for
d Yankee wife-hunters, and that
before his girl was married to the
dspeculator, he would have more
need of the undertaker than a wife." In
other words, the aged veteran threaten
ed to blow holes in the Vineland specu
iator. This pious yet valiant New Eng
lander had no desire, however, to have
daylight penetrate his earthly frame in
that manner, and accordingly he took a
hack and forthwith he hied him to the
Tombs, where be made a complaint
against Captain Meade, who was bound
over in the sum of $5OO to keep the peace
for one year. The bail was procured at
once, and here comes the nsysterious
part of the story. Instead of being dis
charged, the aged veteran,
who, it
seems,,Ec c ording to the Vine land spec
ulatoi's story, had-showed symptoms of
aberration of mind, he was taken to
another partof the Toombs, some further
legal forms were made perfect, and Cap
tain Richard W. Meade found himself
whisked off to the Bloom liagdale Lunatic
Asylum, of which institution he is now
an inmate, and is likely to remain so,
unless the matter Is agitated.
One day, after Captain Meade's in
carceration in the terrible den of luna
tics Miss Meade was joined In the bonds
of wedlock to the Vineland proprietor.
It was the old story of the ''funeral
baked meats," &c.„ over again.
Captain Meade has now been five
weeks in the lunatic asylum, and a
number of his friends assert loudly that
he is not at all insane, and that the
charge has been trumped up against
him by Interested parties. The case
was first brought before Judge Suther
land, who sent it to a referee; but the
case has drugged slowly under his direc
Lion, and Captain Meade's friends are
afraid that the companionship of howl
ing lunatics may render Captain Meade
unfit for liberty when he is at least set
at liberty by the slow process of law. —
While the case Is pending the decision
of the referee, no other Judge would
feel justified, perhaps, in interfering
in the matter. William C. De Wltt, of
Brooklyn, has been before Judges Suth
el land and Lott in regard to the matter.
Judge Sutherland is said to be satisfied
with the progress now being made in the
case. Judge Lott does not feel inclined
to interfere, from a spirit of judicial
courtesy. It is believed, however, by
the time the matter is settled that Cap
tain Meade, with his known irritable
temper and agony of mind, will have
proved to bea lunatic from the influence
of his surroundings. Out, of respect to
the feelings of the family we forbear to
give the name of the Vineland specula
tor who married Miss Meade.
Capt. Meade was one of the few re
,aliaft American naval officers of the
Old school now almost extinct in the
service. He believed fervently "in
hearts of oak," "sevdnty-four gun
frigates," "cat-o'nine tails," "shiver
me timbers," "d—n me eyes," and all
that sort of thing. He was firm in the
faith that a Yankee man-of war was the
terror of the world, and that one Yan
kee brig could whip seven ninety gun
British frigates oft hand. To him Com
modore Perry's victory on Lake Erie,
the fights of the Constitution and Cruel ,
riere, the Wasp and the Hornet, the
Chesapeake and the Shannon, were the
greatest of all naval victories. It was
said that the sight of one of the old style
tobacco papers, containing smoking
tobacco, and which found purchasers at
three cents a piece, with their gorgeous
pictures of the dying Lawrence vomit
ing blue fire from his mouth, on board
of a crazy looking vessel of war, and
giving vent to :- 4 9 dying wish "Don't
give up the ship," was wont to throw
Commodore Meade into frantic spasms
of patriotic enthusiasm.
He was fond of chanting the nautical
song which has the refrain :
"A Yankee ship and a Yankee crew,
In glish captain would not do,
Tally fleigh•ho me Dandy oh."
He was a good officer to his men,
though tyrannical at times, and would
drink with them and accost them free
ly and answer their salutations when
he met them on the street. But on the
quarter-deck he was punctillious as a
Spanish Hidalgo, and exacted respect to
the slightest or most trivial detail. He
was passionately fond of buckram, eti-
quette, and precise formality, and would'
never yield an iota when in full dress
uniform. Various stories are told othim,
one of which may bear repetition.
When in command of the North Caro
lina, Captain-Meade issued instructions
that no boat should be permitted to con
vey passengers to the receiving ship
from the shore excepting the regular
scow. Mrs. Meade dared to defy the Capt
in the husband, and was conveyed on
board of-the vessel by an irregular craft.
These boats were always ready, for a
trifling consideration, to carry sailors
who wished to desert on shore, and Cap
tain Meade, with Spartan justice, did
not wish to make an exception in favor
of his wife, when the rules for which
he demanded a most scrupulous obser
vance were violated. It is said that
Mrs. Meade was placed in irons for dar
ing to disobey his orders, as the Cap
tain did not desire'to make fish of one
and flesh of another. At another time
he was said to have three , ened to dis
inherit a male relative for unexpecting
ly changing his religions belief. A hot,
irritable, at times furious sort of man,
but at all events a man somewhat rough
hewn, and not amenable to the every
day silken and pretentious politeness
of the crowd. His ideal of the service
was of the antique type, and best found,
their representative in the old song of
which Captain Meade was very fond.
The Foe thought he'd struck; bet he cried
out, A-v-ati-et.
The colors of Columbia he nall'd to the Meet
end he died like a true Yankee Sea-1-1-o-r.'

Railroad Company, and the Pittsburg,
Columbus, and St. Louis Railroad Com
pany, is neither a consolidation nor a
lease of either road to the others. The
arrangement is one which is intended
to harmonize the working of the three
roads so as to prevent undue competi
tion in the cutting down of rates, or the
promotion of the building of rival or com
peting roads. The contract fully recog
nizes the equality of the several corpo
rations, and neither one is subordinated
to the others. The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company in no sense absorbs the
powers of the two Western corporations;
but the powers of the three are in some
imrortaut particulars executed by a
joint commission, in such way as to
make a unit from NeW York to Chicago
and St. Louis. The parties to the con
tract regard it as the most important
and valuable one yet devised in railway
management, and that it will greatly
enhance the value of three properties,
and at the same time b,e promotive of
the public good. •
'the Dead-Letter Othre
The whole number of dead letters of all
classes received during the year which
ended 30th June last, by actual count, was
4,162,144, showing a decrease of 144,364 let
ters trout the number estimated to have been
received during the previous year. Of these
letters, 3,995,066 were domestic letters; 167,-
078 were foreign, and were returned un
opened to countries where they originated.
The domestic letters received may be stated
as follows : Ordinary dead letters, 3.029.461;
drop and hotel letters, 522,677 ; unmailable,
363.898; fictitious addresses, 9,190; regis
tered lettere, 3,252; returned from foreign
countries, 66,558.
In the examination of domestic dead let
ters for disposition, 1,736,867 were found to
be either not susceptible of being returned
or of no importance, circulars, and
were destroyed—about 333,000 more were
destroyed after an effort to return them,
'making about 51 per cent. destroyed. The
remainder were classified and returned to
the owners as far as practicable.
The whole number sent from the office
was 2,258,199, of which about. 84 per cent.
were delivered to owners and 16 per cent.
were returned to department. 18,340 letters
contained $95,100 45, In sums of $1 and up•
wards, of which 16,061 letters, containing
$86,030 66, were delivered to owners, and
2.124, containing $7,86236, were filed or held
for disposition. 14,002 contained $3,436 68
in sums of less than $l, of which 12,513, con
taining $3,120 70, were delivered to owners.
17,750 contained drafts, deeds and other
papers of value representing the value of
$3,609,271 00, of these 16,800 were restored to
he owners, and 821 were returned and
filed. 13,964 contained books,
„Jewelry and
other articles of property, of the estimated
'Value of $8,500; of these 11,489 were for
warded for delivery, and 9,911 were deliv
ered to their owners. 125,221 contained
photographs, postage stamps and articles of
small value, of which 114,066 were deliver
ed to owners. 2,068,842 without enclosures.
Thus, of the ordinary dead letters for
warded from this office, about 84 per cent.
were delivered, and of the valuable dead
letters (classed as money and minor) about
.89 per cent, were d• livered.
The decrease of tnoney-letters received
(about 3,000) is probably owing to the grow
ing use of money-orders for the tranemiseion
of small sums.
Prominent among the causes of the non
delivery of letters is the unmailable char
acter of many of them, ascertained during
the past year to be 303,898 letters, showing
a decrease of 70.868 from the previous year.
Of these 200,448 were detained for non-pay.
went of postage, 58,387 returned for misdi
rection or want of, proper address, 13,470
were addressed to places for which no mail
service had been established, and 1,593 had
uo address whatever. .
There were also returned 23,425 letters
addressed to persons stopping temporarily
at hotels, departures or non-arrivals pre
venting de:ivery, and 9,190 letters found to
be addressed to fictitious names. These are
mostly cases where the causes of the non
delivery appear from the lettersthemselves,
and no etlort was made to deliver them.
The number of dead letters returned dur
ing the year to foreign countries was 184,-
183, and the number received from foreign
countries was 68,550. ,
It further appears that, out of 4,666,673
letters mailed to the United States through
British, yreuch and German mails, 126,866
(or . 293-100 per eept.) wore returned to
Europe as dead letters; and out 45404086
letters forwarded from this country through
those mails, 30,970 (or 57 per cent ) were re•
turned as dead letter—showing au extraor
dinary discrepancy between the proportion
of dead letters received from Europe and
the proportion returned from the 'Visited
States to European countries. This differ
ence is doubtless largely owing to pauses
existing in this country which do not ope
rate in the same proportion In Europe. The
geographical extent of the United States
and Territories, as yet largely unsettled,
the constant arrival of emigrants in search
of new homes In remote regions, and the
continual changing of places of abode in a
sparsely settled country, all operate to In
crease the difficulty In the delivery of for
eign letters.

and is made in three segments, as Is also lb
Mattress, hinged and combined in such .
manner as to be readily adjusted to snit foi
reclining at any desired angle, or for 'sitting
upright, providing either chair, lounge, or bed.
It not only enables the patient to repose or
rest ina comfortable position, but is equall3

all surgical, obstetrical and chronic cases.
The manner in which the Mattress isopened,

quirements or necessities of the patient.
This invention has received the hearty en
dorsement of all medical men who have ex
amined it, including Drs. Albite, Br., and Car'.

the hospitals of Lancaster and Berks counties,
