The discovery of the timbers of the old prison ship Jersey in that portion of the Brooklyn Navy Yard where the new battle ship Connecticut Is to be built haa resulted in calling: attention to the few m eager detaiia of the prison life and the lack of any suit able monument to the dead who were burled in the sands of the Long Island shore. The num b er of the dead is not accurately known, and the names but partially. A list of 7,- 950 names of the ^dead is said to be recorded in the B ritish war office. But 11,000 died in three years on t ^ Jersey alone. The graves of these men were invaded by the sea and uncovered by the drifting' sands, and'.this neglect corirtinued until ,iS08, when the Taih- many Society, since becoi^e degenerate, col lected the remains in a Vault which was dedicated with quite as much ceremony as attended the burial of the rem ains of Lieu tenant Boyd a t Mount Hope in the forties. But the Tammany vault had a wooden roof which was destroyed by time and the ele ments.. and the land upon which It stood was eventually sold for taxes. In 1S73 the rem ains were removed to Fort Greene and a suitable monument planned, it was never built and there Is no monu- i^cnt to the dead of the prison ships except a cenotaph .in Trinity churchyard, New York. For years Congress has been asked to ap propriate a suitable sum to m ark properly the last resting place of the thousands of victim s of B ritish cruelty in the prison hulks, but nothing has been done. The .m a tter has now been taken .up by the D aughters of the American Revolution and in all probability something worthy will be accomplished. We have spoken of the for gotten grave of Lieutenant Boyd in Mount Hope. Perhaps the Daughters of the American Revolution will find opportunity to erqct a cenotaph or a bronze tab let in his memory. The story of his death by to r tu r e a t the hands of the Indians during the Sullivan campaign was p a r t of the lit erature of our struggle for independence. It is to be regretted that his grave is for gotten and unmarked in our principal cemetery. The very hill where he was burled is occupied by other tombs. It is learned through the diary of a chap lain to a Connecticut regiment camped at Ttconderoga after the disastrous expedition to Quebec that nearly a whole regim ent died at the fort, the dead being buried on Hount Independence. This diary was found in the state library at Albany and was published by the Troy .Budget on the 19th. It was written by the Rev. Ammi Ruhamah Robbins. He went north with his regim ent in March, 1776, to reinforce Generals W ooster and Arnold before Quebec. The arm y retreated up the St. Lawrence in a pitiable state and suffering from smallpox. In the camp at Ticonderoga hundreds died. The graves of these men are unknown and unmarked. Knowledge of F o rt Ticonderoga and its surroundings is meager. A careful survey ought to be made of .the fort and all its oiit- w’orks. The old fortified places on the Ver mont shore are rarely, if ever, visited. One of the principal works on the end of the main promontory, a square stone structure filled ...I.V. ....A I m A ^AAf Vtlirh in with e a r t h and eight or nine feet high, has b e e n id e n t i f i e d .

Sienklewicz is said to be a demon of un rest, and from the time he starts a novel until he finishes it he goes about from place to place through Europe, writing a little here and a little there.

An old circus man says no show would pay if the performance on the inside- gave everything that was promised on the bills. Every circus Is regarded by the people as more or less of a humbug.

St. Delnot’s Library, which has been erected a t Hawarden as a memorial to the late Mr, Gladstone, was formally opened on October 14 b*y Lord Spencer, who succeeded the late Duke of W estm inster as chairman of tho Gladstone National Memorial Commit tee. Other distinguished men spoke on the occasion. A Polish nobleman a,nd his wife, being brought up for some political offense, arrived the spa of Zappot, having their heads shaved, according to the Russian custom in some trials.
