FOREIGN NEWS, 
Col. Elmer Ellsworth’s Crave. 
Ellsworth's Chicago Zouaves are yet remem¬ 
bered for their dash through the country prior 
to the war. Ellsworth is remembered for hav¬ 
ing lost his life in pulling down a rebel llag at 
Alexandria, Va., in 1801. And it will bo remem¬ 
bered how he was mourned and how money for 
n monument (obis memory was raised. To show 
how the waves of time wash footsteps as well as 
names out of the sand, a correspondent states 
that Ellsworth's father and mother live in n 
homely little collage near Meehatu'csrille, X. 
Y.; that the son’s grave is on the hill behind the 
house, monumentlcps and neglected; that the 
foundation for a monument was laid by the old 
father himself, who made the excavation there¬ 
for; that the father paid $80 for the burial 
place; that $600 raised from various sources for 
the monument, is in the hands of those with 
whom it was deposited, and the ill and nged 
father cannot get a cent of it with which to 
honor the memory of his boy who gave his life 
for his country. While we do not attach much 
importance to monuments, nor value such cele¬ 
bration of the deeds of men as many do, yet the 
story of the result of young Ellsworth's ambition 
for military fame and glory, as told by the fore¬ 
going facts, is rather touching. Do the old 
father and mother think Republics ungrateful? 
The revolution in Mexico is again reported end¬

Rive dealers expensive chemical instruction as to

before school is out. The attempt to report a brief 
market with the current resources would only make 
un Indefinite paragraph. Thu demand Is divided be¬ 
tween two olnsses of buyer*, those who want a little 
for consumptive use, and those who want a specula¬

holders to let them till up at the low figures they pre¬
