A GOOD ANECDoTE. In the winter OF
1857, about midnight, passenger, with
a carpst-sack in one hand and heavy
shawl in the other, entered the fremont
House at Chicago. Walking directly
to the office, he hailed the clerk who
presided at the fremont. Being late at
night, almost every one had left this
popular exchange of the Northwestern
metropolis, and the clerk had fallen to
nodding. Awakened by the salutation
Of the stranger he jumped up.
"Ah, Mr.. Harris, glad to see you:
Just arrived, I suppose. from Detroit 2"
Yes, just in; very tired; have no.
had any clothes off for two days; straight
from New York. Can you give me
room p
'' l ana afraid not; we are very full"
You must strain point, for I must
have room," replied Harris.
After looking over the register for
some moments, the clerk said, "I can
put you in the same room Judge Doug
las occupied the last time he was here"
"Ah" replied Harris, that will
suit me. ] was born Democrat, have
lived Democrat, and hope to die one.
l voted for Buchanan, and would greatly
have preferred voting for Douglas. Send
me up, want to wash and 60 to sleep"
A waiter was Immediately called, who,
taking the carpet-sack in one hand and
a light in the other started, Mr.. Harris
following, for 142. Arriving there they
entered large and handsomely fur
nished apartment with four beds, one in
each corner of the room two gentlemen
in each bed except one, the only one.
The gas from the chandelier was dimly
burning over large square table, on
which stood, in graceful neglige, six
glasses, the remnants Of used up punches,
two decks of the best eagle backs, a
large spittoon at each corner of the
table, with tobacco guilds rising in them
sugar-loaf fashion, and unmentionables
every where around. Harris looked
mournfully around; the waiter started
off. Harris called out, "stop, Mike
| will go down with you in moment"
Arriving at the office, Harris said, "Sec
here! I am perfectly willing to occupy
the same room Stephen A. Douglas oc-
cupied, but I'll be burnt if I want to
sleep with the achole Democratic party"
