Schuyler Colfax in the Printing of1c

Schuyler Colfax in the Printing Office
Samuel Wilkeson, Esq, formerly of the
Buffalo press, now of the N. Y. Times, in
his admirable address as presiding officer at
tho :" Press Dinner" given at Washington
recently to Speaker Colfax related rhe fol-
lowing pleasant incident r. .'
Eighteen years ago, at ! clock of a win
ter moonlight morning, while the horses in
the stage coach in which was blowing the
thick mud of Indiana were being changed
at the tavern in South Bend, | walked the
footway of the principal street to shake off
a great weariness. saw a light through
a window. A sign, The Register, was
legible above it, and | saw through the win
dow man in his shirt sleeves walking
quickly about like one that worked. |
paused and looked and imagined about the
man, and about his work, and about the
lateness of the hour to which it was pro.
tractcd; and wondered if hc was in debt,
and struggling to get out and il his wife
was expecting him and had lighted new
candle for his coming, and if he was very
tired. A coming step interrupted this idle
dreaming. When the walker reached my
side l rejoined him, and as we went asked
him questions, and naturally they were about
the workman in his shirt sleeves. >" What
sort OF man is hep He is very good
to the poor; he works hard; he is sociablc
with the people; he pays his debts; he is
safe adviser; he doesn't drink whisky;
folks depend on him; all this part Of In.
diana believe 10 him. I" From that day to
this have never taken up the South Bend
Register without thinking Of this eulogy,
and envying the man who had justly entitled
himself to it in the dawn of his manhood.
