Robert Wright, now the oldest liv ing graduate of West Point Military Ac ademy, is preparing to p:iy it his last vis it. Dr. Wright was born on Christmas day, 1797, entered West Point Academy in 1814, and graduated in 1818. When he entered the school there were onlv fifty students, and the Doctor says that sill the buildings on, tho place avere not worth move than $3,000. It was in tho vears that the Doctor spent at the Point that the Academy proper, the mess honse and two of the barracks were built, the stone used in these buildings having been procured on the Point and on the adjoining proper ty. It has now been more than sixtv years since the doctor saw the place, and he is anxious to pay another visit to it before his death, which, is not likely to occur soon, as he is well and heartv, and remark ably active for a man of his years. Gen. Bonneville, who recentlv died, and who was before his death the ofdest liviu graduate of West Point, was in the class just preceding Dr.- Wright. Only two gentlemen are now living who were stu dents at the Academy at the time of Dr. Wright's graduation. These are Dr. Hen ry Brewerton, who built Fort Federal Hill iu Baltimore, and Henry Thompson, Ksq. President of the National Bank of Balti! more. While a student at West Point the Doc tor heard mneh of the duel between Burr and Hamilton, and on his way theic once after he boarded the steamer at New York' his first request of the captain was that w hen the monument w hich had been erect ed over Hamilton's remains should be reached he should have the place pointed out to him. He presently made the ac quaintance of a young man, also a cadet and a game of checkers was proposed., The boys went at once to the saloon, and after looking for some time, found the checker board under the bead of an old gentleman who was lying on the settee". Yonn Wright took hold of the board, and, gcrT tly drawing it out, let the gent leman's head lull plumb upon the sert. 11,. I 1 - v v AAV arose, muttered something about rudeness, and went upon deck. Wright's companion was shocked at such a liberty, and asked i.w ii invnj, inm asiveu knew who the gentleman was, ig answered in the negative, re 'hat's Aaron Burr." it was en- mm ii no Knew and, bein plied, "Ti. oujh for young Wright. The checkers were forgotten, and he followed Mr. Ban to the deck, gazing at him in mute aston ishment until the steamboat reached West Point The Doctor describes Burr as a man of small size, and with eves-snnk-en in his head, but bejaring the marks of a powerful will and' a brave heart. The Doctor has a vivid recollection of tho Ac ademy and its surroundings, and delights in talking of them. JAPANESE ASSASSINS. The Japanese assassins who recentlv murdered the Minister Oknbo (the Emper or's favorite minister) were a curious set of murueiers. According to the Tokio Times they announced their purpose before exe cuting it. A Japanese paper has a box wherein persons may drop communications designeu for publication, which box is o pened every afternoon at three o'clock. On Wednesday a letter was found signed on the outside by a fictitious name, but within by two of the assassins, Shimada and vjuu. a uu uiie oi tue composition "Zan kan io." which iimv b t,.n. i was and its contents were, siibstantiallv as fo'l- ? ieuer ou tue inunlerot thtt tmit " U 4 I .... . .. .1 , . low ,'s: ve are about to assassinate Oku- bo lor five reasons: First, he is selfish n.i tyrannical, preferring despotism to libertv secondly, he considers and uses the law as Ins plaything, and is very arbitrary and proud; thirdly, he employs the public moj ney m a foolish and extravagant manner fourthly, he will not .admit patriots to snare in the government, thus excitin" re ueinon; nttniv, lie does not know how to 1 a sustain the national dignitv in deal iling) with other government 7 a 'I'his document wmcii covered thirteen pages of manu script, and which was clothed with schol arly language, was handed into the police by the proprietors of the paper when its - i i . - character was discovered. In the mean time the six assassins had met Oknbo, cut him to pieces, washed their hands at a neighboring spring, and proceeded to the palace, where they proclaimed the deed and gave themselves up to jnsti ;e. . The mikado of Japan snared no effort to do honor to the remains of his murdered adviser. . The prince imperial bowed 1 nim bly before the inanimate body, and the seven sons of Okubo, one after another. uown to uie little one of four, laid bundles of green, bound with white ribbon, before the casket. The fato of the assassins is not known, but, as torture has not been a- bolished, their punishment was no doubt terrible. ! A Blessing Always Kemaixixo. Dr. Bell relates that a blind girl, residing in France, had for nianv vears perused an embossed Bible with her fingers, but be cominar partiallv naral vzed. the seiim. nf V 1 - 7 1 toucli- in her fingers was lost- Her aronv of mind at tho deprivation was great, and in a moment ot despair she took up her JDi uie, bent dowu her head and kissed the open leaf, by way, as she- supposed, of a last farewell. Iu the act of doing so. to her great surprise and sudden joy, she felt the letters distinctly with her lips. and from that dav," he adds, "this poor child has thus been readinor the boot which is her one creat comfort." Chris- tinn Press. ; - : Corner Anderson and THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND'S LAST DAI'S j If the ministers and courtiers w ere connt ijng on' her death, Elizabeth had no mind .tjo die. Sho had enjoyed life as the men of her day enjoyed it,and now that they were gone she clnng to jt w ith a fierce tenacity. She hunted, she danced, she jested with her young favorites, ehe co quetted and scolded and frolicked at sixty seven as she had at thirty. "Tho Queen," wrote a courtier a few; months beforo her death, "was, never so jgallant these manv ears nor so set npon jollity. She persist ed, in spite of opposition, in her gorgeous progress from countjy honso to country house. Sho clnng(-W business as of old, find rated in her uJhal fashion 'one who minded not giving up" some matter of ac count.'" j But death crept on. Her face became haggard, and her frame shrank almost to a! skeleton. At last Tier taste for finery disappeared, and she refused to change her chess for a w eek together.: A strange mel ancholy settled down on her. 1 "She held in her hand," savs ono who saw her in her last days, "a golden enp, which she often put to her lips; but in tj-uth her heait seemed too full to need irjore filling." j Gradually her minT"gavo way. hc lost her memory. The violence of her tjrmper became unbearable. Her very courage seemed to forsake her; she called for a sword to lie constantly beside her, and thrust it from time to "time throu"-h tlie' arras, as if sho beard murderers stTr qng there. Food and rest became alike distasteful. She sat day and night, propped up with pillows, on a stool, her fingvr nu her lips, her eyes fixed on the floor? with out -a word. If she once broko the silence it was w ith a flash of her old qneenliness. When Sir Robert .Cecil declared that she must go to bed, the word loused her like a' trumpet. . t j'OInst!" sho exclaimed. "Is must a Word to bo applied to princes? Little man! little man! thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word." Then, as her anger spent itself, she sauk into the old deiection. "Thou art so presumptuous," she. said, eeau.-,o thou k no west that I shall die." ' She rallied once more when the Mmi. t(rs beside her named Lord Beanchamp, the heir to the Suffolk claim, as a possible siiicccssoV. j "1 will have noTogne's son," she cried, hoarsely, "in mv seat " :,!.-i4lvL amotion of tlje head at the mention of the- King or ScoXts. She was, in fact, beeominin- sensible, and earlv the next mornin. on the 24'th of March, 1003. the life of Kliza- netli a Iile so great, so strange and lone ly iu its greatness ebbed quietly away. V Max Betrayed r.v His Owx Cir- r.IOSITY. During the festival of the Bair- am,an inhabitant, of the village of Fnn dpckli had dressejd his child, about two yf-ars old, in a shawl and cap, ornamented with pieces of gold, .and intrusted it to a slave, who left it for a moment seated in the court of the house. On his return the child was gone, and everv search for it proved useless. The father applied to the Chief of Police at'Bagdad, entreating him tq inquire in the circumstances. -This oflicer reflected that the child could not be carried far on account of Ids cries, and therefore rnnst have been taken by one of the neighbors. He did not communicate this idea to anybody, but directed one of his messengers to go to the village of Fun duckli at the hour of prayer, to enter the mosque, and summon tho iman (or priest) la come immediately to his inavaur. When the iman came into the presence of the Chief of Police, ho received a positive in junction to come to him again on the mor row j and give him tho name of tho person who first came to him to inquire of him tho cause of .his being sent for to the Po licejoffice. The Turks in general pay lit tle attention to the affairs of others", not even those of their priests consequent ly, on returning to tho mosquo one man only came to. him to ask the cause of so sudden a summons. The iman replied it was only in relation to a firman (decree) which he was to have read, but which was withdrawn. However, on being informed by the man of w hat passed, the Chief of Pplice caused the inqnisitivo man to bo arrested, and discovered tho body of the child concealed under tho staircase of his ho use, and thus proved that it was ho who carried it off. Ho was sentenced to bo in stantly beheaded. j CinxESE Bakbers. The Chinese mode of wearing the hair makes the flowerv laind the paradise of barbers, and tho Clii nese barber has not his counterpart the whrld over. From dawn he is in the streets carrying upon ,his shoulders at either end of a long baniloo, adorned w ith an effigy of a chimerical creature, tho par Lphtrnalia of his-craft. Eagerly on tho lookout for any ono whose poll is not per fectly shaven, as soon as ho detects such an one he has him in a trice installed on a stool beneath a largo parasol fixed in the ground. In the twinkling of an eye Ah is-ready, and tho skull nnder his manipu lations soon becomes as smooth as ivorv. Tliat done, he passes on to the pigtail, which he blushes, perfumes, and dresses with the greatest care. Useless as it seems to ns, it really is by no means so. The schoolmaster brings" it smartly to bear on the fingers of recalcitrant youth, the ass driver has no other instrument wherewith to stimulate his beast, the man tired of life employs it as a hanging rope, and jlastly the executioner seizes hold of it w hen ho decapitates a man. Trne beauty increases, w hile false beau ty lessens, on examination. Kindness to a shivering beggar is a pro fession of religion. Old Streets, Fayetteville, N. C. 5. 1S7S. THE STOUY 0FA FOUNTAIN. iVmong tho fountains of Brussels i! none that commands such attention of itre t rnScr as a "imrnutivc figure (called Lcj Mannequin"), and there i nono that is nriu in such reverence by tho people of Brussels, ft ;a .in the amo time it is a true picture of inno cence and nature. It is tho figure of a hearty and robust little boy, atwut nx years of nge, standing on a pedestal over a half-circlo basin, and ns ho has been fro quently stolen or def.ced, an ornamental iron railing incloses both tho basin and the statue. Hut Lo Mannequin is an his torical character, and lie ha? stood fr four hnndrcd years in his present position. The first statuo was in stone; but two hundred years ngo it was replaced by the preen l bronze figure by Dnquesnov. There are vanons legend in connection with it, the best accepted of which is that the son of a distinguished man had been lost for some time, having strayed awny. TLi part of Brussels, was then a thicket, and it waaon the spot on which tho fountain waa subse quently erected by hia father that he was found, after diligent search. In gratitude for his recovery tho fountain was erected, and has stood during! nil the vicissitudes r war and changes of government. Ib has been from time iiuinemorial an object of popular alR-clion. On gran,l holidavs it has always been the custom of Lo Man nequin to wear a costume, mid an oilirer is regularly appointed and paid bv the City ofiBrussels, whoao duty it is to'dress Inm on these occasions, and to keep him V1 r'',M,i-r .anl 111 r,,,,l,ifJ rder. When Uniis XV. captured Bru'ssels in 1747, ho wore a largo white cockado on Ida lint In 17S9 he was dressed out in colors of the Brabancoii revolutionists,' and the empire girded him with the French tricolor under Napoleon. The Dutch government im posed t hoi orange colors upon him. The days of September beheld him dressed in a blor.se, and under the present reign, on grand occasions, he inoudly wears the tu nic of the civic guard. This little inanimate figure Iia.s.been the object of kn-cral bequests, from which some idea of the sentiment of the people of Brussels in relation to him uv.iv be judged. Tho object of these bequests was to furnish a fund, not only to supplv him with dresses torfctfs, but silso to keep the fountain iu good order, and repair and re new it when necessary. - This is the fund which the city administers, and which pavs f"r M di ajn bcrj aju. Pari Cor. San Fraueim-o Chronic!. A STIiAXfiE ST'.i!tY, WITH QPEEN ISASEIXA AT THE BOTTOM. Poor little Queen .Mercedes of Spain ! Over her grave are uttered mnnv lamenta tions for "the doubly dead, in that the died so young;" lamentations not o mnch because she was a Princess though, doubtless, with many that fact would lend a charm as because the lloyal Spanish marriage had been a genuine love match, and because in those live short months the had won golden opinions from all sorts of people. It is Ftartli ., however, to soo it openly stated in print that suspicions of foul play are rife, ami that even the name of the person who administered the drug has been mentioned. .There were, it is true, other reasons why she should have been out of health; bui'latterly the symp toms had been clearly those "of arsenical poisoning. The Mor girl, w ho parsed her eighteenth birthday on her sick bed, bad, it is said, a terror of tic near approach of death, and earnestly implored the pbi cians around her to save her life. The last struggle was long and violent. Hap pily, her mother, who for nunc time pal had been exceedingly uncomfortable about Mercedes, and was bi t too well aware of the inimical influence surrounding Alfoti so's wife, yet was dekirtcd from her resi dence in Spain, was uith the little Queen ere tho cud. It ig thought the Duke or Montpcnsicr opposed tho embalming of his daughter' ldy, because, should a post-mortem examination of the remains be at any ti mo determined on, tho "(ian nal" process, whose chief ingredient is arsenic, would render impossible the de tection of other poison. Not long before this fatal illness a disgraceful i-piaLLle over the lloyal jewels, valued at 8,000,000 francs, had broken out between the young King and his mother Alfonso, ulu rcaf- ly wanted them for Mercedes, claimed tl IU gems as crown pniperty, but Isalella, like the obstinate woman Ujo is, held stoutlv to them, utterly declining to give them np unless he would buy theia at their full value. What trouble tho royal baubles of Spain seem lately to have created n mong tho actual (assessors of or the r. merous prctemlers ;to that most uneasv seat, the Spanish throne ! On her son's refusal to become ai purchaser of what he considered by right his own property, Isa bella next tried to get rid of tho jew els by public auction; w hereupon Alfonso retali ated by taking legal proceeding! to pre vent their sale.
