PARAGRAPHS AND COMMENTS Tfilea About People and Thing* Told in an Intereiting WayDr. A. L Leach, not yet so old man by any means, has many Interesting reminisoouces of Cape May's old-time prosperous days. As a boy tie remembers distinctly seeing the renowned Henry Clay during bis stay si tbe ManstgU! House, long slooc destroyed by fire, and bearing him address tbe people, among whom that summer were many distinguished Southerner* and sutesmeo from various parts of tbe country. At another time he first looked upon the famous Siamese Twin* through the blind* of tbe old Centre House, where tbe twins were on exhibition. In after years, while In tbe practice of bis profeasion.in Philadelphia, it was hie fortune, after tbe death of the twins, to assist In the post-mortem examtition of their strangely united bodies. Tbit waa done at tbe institution known as tbe College of Pbyalciana, Philadelphia, of which Dr. Leach was s member. It will be remembered that the twin* died in the South, and their bodies were ired by tbe above named institution to be dissected In the interest* of science Another incident tbe Doctor calls to mind, and one which we seldom bear referred to, wa» the visit of James Buchanan to Cape May just previous to bis election to the Presidency. In thoneday* Cape May was the Mecca of summer resorts. to-which many great men of tbe Republic made their summer pilgrimage Among the many from afar who came to Cape May to remain bnt a brief time, but who have yielded to those subtle and alluring charm* which aeum to encompass the famous old resort, and to which many of tbe great meu ofAbe nation have fallen willing victim*, are the distinguished Tbeapiana, Mr and Mr*.
