TO CONSUMPTIVES.

Strange Adventures of a Correspondent ■sXmtUpMiSi to distinguish him, made his appearance at the Irish headquarters inNew York,. .He wore glasses, not because he needed them, but to giye him a literary air. This young man vrm des-r tined for a distinguished career. His name was Edmund O’Donovan, and he became famous ip bis adventures in Central Asia as a correspondent of the London Daily News. He followed the Russian army when it was fighting in Cental Asia, sending letters to his journal; but the Russian general ordered all correspondents out of the camp, Rather than return* O’Donovan pluckily entered the camp of the opposing Turcomans. He was arrested $b a Russian spy, but while in captivity he managed to send some very remarkable letters to the London Daily News. He was at length released and he became in time the governor of an important city; he even helped the Turcomans to defend important posts against the Russians. His life was in constant peril, for these Asiatics seemed to take an especial pleasure in murdering strangers who entered their camps or cities. After performing some marvelous feats of personal daring, and writing very graphic letters from some of the most unknown portions of the globe, he finally made his way to Constantinople, where he was arrested and imprisoned for abusing tho Turkish government. He was finally released, and found his way back to England. With all his bright career behind him It Is not unlikely that he will come to a miserable end on account of his love of stimulants, tha*. bane of so many able literary men.

“ «. i »• ; . •• t Rosa Bonheuf is engaged in painting a series of heads of animals which are to be reproduced by an English engraver. One of these, “An Old Monarch,” the head of a splendid old lion, was published some months ago, it has now been followed by “An Humble Servant,” the head of a demure looking donkey.
