“The Oltlc-t liilmOltant."
As I have mentioned the “oldest
resident," I nitty as well sa\ more
about hint, for hi Paris there i> very
little difficulty in fixing him. li is
the Comte do Wuldcok.now in his one
hundred and eleventh year, and look
ing as if destined to live to a ripe old
age. He celebrated his one hundred
and tenth birthday not long ago, and
on hearing of it a joker in tile life
insurance business went to him to
induce him to take out an endow
ment policy on his life. The Count
took ft quit*' seriously, studied the
matter carefully, and thought that
he might try it liext year.
Three years ago 1 mentioned M.
Do Waldeek in connection with the
project of anew theatre near the
Madeleine, he having applied for the
position of Director, although he
would he about one hundred uud fif
teen years of age if lie lives to see t lis
building completed. He stiil wants
the place, us lie was Direetor of a
theatre bearing the name proposed
under the first Republic. I saw the
old mnn coming down the Hue des
Martvrfc the other day, ami thought
him ‘looking remarkably well. On
the Empress’ birthday tie sent her a
bouquet saying, in a note that
lie was in the world before the foun
der of the Napoloenie dynasty. Ib
was an otlieer under Xujioleon and
was wounded at Anstcrlitz, if I re
member rightly.
During tile reign of terror he was,
like Sieves, “occupied in living, ’no
easy thing when one had the title of
Count, and when there was a perma
nent guillotine on the i’laee delaCon
eord; bjltiiesuceedeed by becoming a
purveyor of public amusements, lie
said the other day that there was
only one thing pertaining to tln
time that he now regretted the cos
tunics of the women. There is noth
ing, ho thinks, which shows off the
female form so well as tile dresses
worn under the Directory, and one
may add, or so much of it. There is
no doubt about Count i>, Waldeek's
ago, lam told, lie having authentic
documents; and the records of the
army show that lie must he consider
ably over a century.

A Peddlers w*l,t Hide.
A l’eddler named Jonas Marlmrger
has for many years tramped over vu
rions sections of this and neighbor
ing cotta ties gelling Ids wares, and
by a consistent course he tins won
the oonfldMoaaad esteem of a large
uumber of acquaintances. On Tues
day afternoon, about live o'clock, t he
peddler opened his pack in the kitch
en of a man named !v-helstaub, in
Albany township. The farmer's wife
purchased what she desired, and the
peddler, according to the custom of
I hut neighborhood, was asked lore
main to supper, which lie did, and
subsequently determined to stay all
night. The farmer owns quite a nice
tract or land, and during the et cuing
much of the conversation centered
u 1 Km matters pertaining to farming.
At about nine o'eloekthe peddler was
shown to a large garret, under the
roof, where lie was to sleep. The
family retired uud nothing unusual
occurred until some time near mid
night, when tile farmer was awaken
ed by the barking of watch-dogs and
fhe tramping of a horse's hoof's. He
arose anu looked out of the window
towards the barn, when an extra.,,
dinary sight met ids gaze. The dogs
were tn an adjoining field, and
strange to sav. there appeared to lie
a ghost riding about on one of tie
farmer's young horses. The fame i
cal led the hired man, and on going
to the garret with the lantern tile.',
found the bed which had been occu
pied empty, and the peddler gmie,
but his clothes still hanging on a
chair, where lie had evidently placed
them. The farmer and hired man
went down stairs, and found that all
I lie doors were locked as they were
before they retired. Doing out the)
found the horse still on a full gallop
under the direction of his mystermii
rider. The hired man watched his
chances, caught the animal and upon
closer examination found that the
rider was the peddler, who sat there
like a statute and was in a complete
state of somnambulism. He had
nothing on him excepting his shirt,
undershirt, drawers and stockings,
and notwithstanding the coldness of
the night he was perspiring freely
when lifted down. They- could not
waken him properly until he was led
into the house, and when he came to
his senses he seemed to know nothing
of what had occurred. He seemed
startled at being out of bed and down
stairs in such apparel. Subsequent
examination showed that the man,
in his strange stute, had worked his
way out of a trap door to the roof
of a back building and thence to On
ground.-—ifearfim; i Pn. > Ea/jle.
A counterfeit Unit'd States Treas
ury note has been detected at Boston,
so well executed that even the most
skillful detectives differ as to its true
character and have finally deter
mined upon tae following minute
dtffereTtaew :*“On the genuine the but
tons On the coat "f John Quincy
Adams are.perfect! round, w hile on
the counterfeit they have an irregu
lar or more of an octagonal form; on
the genuine the small toes of the fe
male figure -f Justice arc full and
natural, while on the counterfeit the
small toes are very small, and the
little one very obscure.”
The statue of Stonewall Jackson,
executed by the late Mr. Foley, the
well known English sculptor, for the
city of Charleston, H. 0., is now near
ly completed at tlie Manor foundry,
Chelsea, London. The General is
representedns standing, with a drawn
broadsword in his right hand. The
hand rests on the sword-hilt, and the
point of the weapon is placed on a
piece of rock at the side of the figure.
He wears a horseman's short tunic,
girt by a broad belt and buttoned
close on the chest, and loose trousers
with riding boots.
A Ntooki: os the Safety Vai.ve.
The Springfield (Mass.) I.V/e/M.n,
says: “The old Mississippi river joke
has, curiously enough, become a po
litical fact. The Republican steamer
is aljtead, quivering from stem to
sterb, the firemen, with faces of grim
determination, are pouring in fresh
supplies of turpentine ; and the ‘nig
ger 18 on the safety valve.’ It is no
fault of his. poor fellow ; hut there In
is, and there he is likely to stay until
the explosion.”
