ANECDOTE OF GREELEY.-In the GuG-
aay for July, Anecdotes of Public men,
probably from the pen of Thurlow
Weed, are very entertaining. Here is a
little story of Dean Richmond, the eele-
brated Democratic politician.
Richmond was a man of quick pre-
ception, happy in rctort, with senten-
( tious, epigrammatic mode of saying
things, which gave them great force
When Mr.. Lincoln passed through the
State on his way to Washington, in the
winter of 1861, Mr. Richmond provided
a special train for him at Buffalo, and
| accompanied the party to Albany. At
/ Syracuse Mr. Greeley Joined the COM
pany. Mr.. Lincoln who had keen APP
probation of original and peculiar men,
was much amused by the occasional
pleasant passages between Richmond
and Greeley
A new sleeping coach of elegant ap-
pointments and high finish was placed
at the disposal of the President-elect.
The superb palace cars of the present
day had not been invented. but this COM
Portable coach, with its elevated roof,
spacious and complete accommodations
and perfect ventilation, was great inn
provement upon the close, low-roofed,
cheaply furnished, and dingy cars that
were in general use at that time. Lin
coin, Greeley and Richmond were seated
in this handsome coach chatting in a
free and easy manner ''This is some
thing like, Dean" said Greeley, "but
why don't you have all your cars made
in this way The common miserable
old things are nothing but a nuisance"
1--WE adopt Improvements as they are
invented was the reply, ''but the
changes have to be gradual we cannot
afford to throw aside substantial cars
that have cost a great deal of money, and
stock the road with those that are more
expensive merely for the comfort of
passengers. Whenever we build new
ones we incorporate all available i'm
provements,
''Oh, that's no excuse, -" was Greeley's
rejoinder. "The people confer upon
your corporations special and extra
ordinary privileges, and | tell you they
will not be content unless you give them
the best accommodations to be had. Why
don't you put on this kind of car at
once ?"
'Why don't we, sure enough Why
didn't you start your internal old IIfi-
6une with three hundred thousand sub
scrlbers p
Horace, I think Richmond has
rather got you there, quietly remarked
Mr.. Lincoln.
