An Abused Imago of Washington.
Syplier, the Mew York dealer in
art relics, curiosities, etc., has in his
establishment a wooden statu® of
George Washington with a history.
The statue was set up at the Bai
lor.' in 1701 and there it steod for
40 years or more until it got badly
battered and became an eyesore to
artists and art lovers. It was then
put up at auction by the city, and
the city got berated for the indig
nity. A French dealer in relics
named Jacques bought the figure
on speculation for $250 and failing
to realize upon it stowed it away in
the attic ot his country house in
iSoutil Norwalk, Conn. M. Jacques
died in IS S3 and at the subsequent

A Marvelous Feat of Memory.
M . Uartindale, in London Pub
lie Opinion, cites some remarkable
feats of memory, Alaretus tells
us, and had the statement solemn
ly attested by four Venetian noble
men of undoubted honor, how in
Padua lie met a young Corsican,
who bad gone thither to pursue his
•studies. Having heard that the
young man was gifted with extra
ordinary memory, so that he could
retain and repeal as many as 30,-
000 words, read over by him once
only, Maretusand some distinguish
ed friand* asked if he would allow
them to lest Iho accuracy of what
report had stated, lie willingly
consented, and there was read over
an almost interminable list of
words strung together without any
consecutive meaning, in every va
riety of language, even many of
them mere gibberish.
The young Corsican stood all
the while with his attention deep
iy fixed with his eyes cast down
upon tiie ground. When it
was time he looked up cheerfully
and repeated the whole uniuteresf
ing catalogue of woids without a sin
gie fault. Then, to show liow careful
ly ho retained every word, he went
through the list backward, then tak
ing every alternate word, first, third,
fifth, etc., til! he quite tired out and
perfectly satisfied Maretns that be was
the most extraordinary man he had
mot with in aii his travels.

■'Some six or seven years ago my wife
had a severe illness, in eotisei(Uence of

and was compelled to wear a wig. A

Ayer's Hair Vigor to the scalp, and, after
