_Medal given to Howard._--Hepworth Dixon, in his _Life of Howard_, mentions
a Russian General Bulgarhow, who was presented by his countrymen with a
gold medal, as "one who had deserved well of his country." The General's
reply stated that _his_ services to mankind reached his own country only;
but there _was_ a man whose extraordinary philanthropy took in all the
world,--who had already, with infinite toil and peril, extended his
humanity to all nations,--and who was therefore alone worthy of such a
distinction; to him, his master in benevolence, he should send the medal!
And he did so. Can any of your readers inform me who now possesses this
medal, and where it is to be found?
