A NEW AND RATHER IMPROBABLE STORY ABOUT
GREELEY.-The Rochester Express says that
gentleman who happened to be an eyewitness,
tells the following good story about Greeley,
which has never before been in print
Mr.. Greeley has never been accused of extrav-
sgance in dress, even by the Democrats. One
morning, some years ago, habited in his usual
quaint style, be was leaning over the counter IN
the Tribune Office eating an apple, when an Eng
lishmsn entered, who had that morning arrived By
steamer, and who, Il surned out, was connected
with the London Times, and had come to arrange
some business between that paper and the
Tribune.
Approaching Mr.. Greeley with q very arrogant
air, he said "Fellow, do you work here !" Eyes,
sir.D "Is Mr.. Greeley In ;" "Yes, sir" After
waiting @ little, and seeing that the "fellow"

oujries, he burst out, almost choked with ndigna-
ton: "well, why the devil don't you go and
fetch him ?" 81 am Mr.. Greeley, at your ser
vice." was answered in the same calm and IN
different manner.

A CHAPLAINF0R THE ASSEMBLY.
As matter of fact the statement j:

As matter of fact the statement il
to be made that there is considerable
feeling prevailing in religious circles
hereabout, concerning the action of the
Assembly with reference 10 their dis
posal of the Chaplain question. We
have been requested TO protest, in the
name of this very worthy part of the
community, against the action had on
Monday, and to ask, respectfully, that
reconsideration be had Apart from
all cant aud nctimoniousness, it
is undeniable that the custom of pro-
viding for prayers at the opening
of the daily sessions of the Legislature
is commendable, because a christian
like one; and in SO far as its obser-
vance will satisfy a portion Of the public
whose voice is entitled to q respectful
bearing, it may with much reason be
claimed that it should be awarded n
consideration. We beg leave
10 request, therefore, in the name of
those whose feelings are enlisted in this
matter, that a reconsideration of the
Tote whereby the election of a Chap
ain was indefinitely postponed, be
made and granted.

turn for the money he had expended on their
education, the father put scythes into their

made few sweeps, and then resting his
scythe, wiped the sweat from his brow. His
father said, whats the matter, Dan: 'My

His father fixed it, and Dan went to work
again, bat with no better success. Something
was the matter with his scythe-and then it
was again tnkered-but it was not long be-

admiration and sympathy. Phil reports
himself and is reported as follows:
ST. LOUIS, January 2.
General Sherman received a letter from
Sheridan, dated Fort Cobb, December 10, de-
failing his operations to that date and mar
rating the capture of Santanta and Lenc
Wolf, and holding them as hostages until 1.-The
Kiowas come in. Sheridan says tie Indians
realize that now, for the first time, Winter
will not compel us to make truce with them.
He adds: i" Inc kiowas have b5en engaged
in war all the time, and have been playing
fast aud loose. They attempted to brow-beat
General Hazen since they came to Fort Cobb,
but | will take the starch out Of them before
l leave them. The Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes, and one band of Comanches. with fifty
lodges of kiowas, are now at Wachita Noun
tains." General Sheridan. after consultation
with Hazen, proposes, when the klowas
come in, TO punish those known to have been
concerto in personal acts of murder. He
will send Black Kettles siste. out to the
Cheyeunes and Arapahoes to commend them
to come liz and submit to like treatment. II
they refuse to come he will carry On the war
against them in the Wachita Mountains. and
Will leave with General Hazen sufficient
force to enable him to control the Indians
