MARK TWAIN'S OLD HOME.
PURCHASED FOR THE PUBLIC. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright New York, September G. Mark Twain's old home in High Street, Hannibal, Missouri, has been bought by a wealthy attorney and presented to tho city authorities. The house is only a few feet distant from tho alley where Tom Sawyer made tho other boys paint the fence. Hannibal is a river-port and railway centre on the west bank of the Mississippi, about 130 miles above St. Louis. It has about 13,000 inhabitants, and does a brisk trade in tobacco, timber, and farm produce, while there are also numerous manufactories. About a mile down tho river from tho town is the Hannibal Cave, immortalised in "Tom Sawyer," which runs for miles under tho bluffs, and, in places, under the Mississippi itself.
