DEAN RICHMOND AND HORACE GREE
LEY.


The same writer tells this anec-
dote:
Richmond was a man of quick
perception, happy in rctort, with
sententious cpigrammatic 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 special
train for him at Buffalo, and accom-
panied the party to Albany. AT
Syracuse Mr.. Greeley joined the
company. Mr.. Lincoln, who had
keen appreciation Of original and
peculiar men, was much amused by
the occasional pleasant passages be-
tween Richmond and Greeley.
A new sleeping coach of elegant
appointments, and of 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 comfortable
| coach, with it's elevated roof, spa
cious and complete accommodations
and perfect ventilation, was a great
improvement on the close, low
rooted, cheaply-furnished and dingy
cars that were in general use at
that time. Lincoln, Greeley and
Richmond were seated in this hand
some coach, chatting in q free and
easy manner.
"This is something 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 nuisance"
owe 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 ex-
pensive merely for the comfort of
passengers. Whenever we build
new ones we incorporate all availa-
Die improvements.
ooh, that's no excuse" was Gree
ley's rejoiner. "The people confer
upon you corporations special and
extraordinary privileges, and l tell
you they will not be content unless
you give them the best accommoda-
tions to be had. Why don't you
put on this kind Of car at once?"
"Why don't we, sure enough p
Why didn't you start your internal
old Tribune with three hundred
thousand subscribers?"
"Horace, l think Richmond has
rather got you there" quietly re-
marked Mr.. Lincoln.

Truth No Flattery.

In 1857, in the month of July, the
Empress Maria Theresa was walk
ing alone in the park of Schonbrun,
reading, as it was her wont, 4 bun
die ofpapers she carried under her
arm. She happened to pass by an
old cavalier of the guard, stationed
there to watch the avenue. She
noticed the good man was snoring.
She called him several times, and
succeeded in waking him only by
shaking her papers. She then told
him to try and overcome sleep, in
order to avoid the punishment in
flicted on drowsy sentinels. The
old reiter having thanked her his
very best, she asked him if he knew
the Empress by sight. He answered
her that fifteen or sixteen years ago
he had seen her at Inspruck, but
that ever since he had not the hap
piness to lay his eyes on her.
"Well," said she, ''I am the EN-
press; do you recognize mcs"
"What, is,that you?" replied the
old, gray-headed reiter! II would
never have suspected it. o. how
fat you have grown! When 1 saw
you at Inspruck, you were, on my
honor, pretty; but now, truly, you
are very much changed"
At this undoubtedly candid answer
the great woman took no umbragc;
on the contrary, she burst ont
laughing, and paid the sincerity OF
the good lout with shining ducats;
and returning to the castle she told
how, for certain this time, she had
talked with a man who did not dis
semble truth.

"That next voyage after this one
will not answer" he declared.
"Hawlcy shall accompany me on
my very next trip. TO make all
sure on this point, will have him
engaged this very day. In fact, |
will see to this aoac."
He seized his hat and gloves, at,f
dressed a few words to his sister,
and quietly took his departure down
town. The last glances the couple
exchanged at the door were full of
jubilant wickedness.
The three or four hours passed
slowly to Miss Peddcr. She was
beginning to fear that the whole
project had miscarricd at it's very
commencement, and was fretting
herself into a fever, when Pedder
suddenly made his appearance. One
glance at his vivid tiushes, at his
dancing eyes, at his airy manner,
was sufficient.
"We triumph thcn?" she cried,
throwing herself into his arms for
the first time in years.
"Completely! l saw my owners
on the subject, and they sent for
Hawley. He at first offered some
objections, as was natural, but the
high wages, the great step upward,
the kindly interest we all manifested,
soon brought him to a grateful ac-
ceptance"
"Splendidr' murmured Miss Ped
der, with ripping laugh. 81 knew
the thing was feasible. And so in
two weeks more our fond bride
groom will be plowing the sea
again"
"In two weeks more. Ruth
We shall be off in six or eight days.
The cargo is fairly tumbling aboard
the Flying Childers, to say nothing
of fair list of passengers. The
honeymoon of our loving doves will
be abridged to six short days more,

as is known, has ever lived there,
save as is now to be recorded in
these pages.
Near the middle of a dull, dismal
afternoon, some eleven weeks later
than the date of the preceding
events, the good ship Flying CAil-
ders drew near to the island of
Desolation, shaping her course
toward its northernmost bay, called
by Captain Cook Christmas Har-
Dor.
A fair breeze was blowing from
the north, and the ship was carrying
every stitch of her canvas, including
studding-sails.
Her crcw-both watches - were
busy about the deck, and her passen-
gcrs-a score in number - had
gathered in groups, mostly forward,
and were gazing with great interest
upon the wild, rugged shores before
them, SO far as the fog suspended
upon those shores permitted them
to become visible.
The ship had come here for water
nearly all her water casks having
been stove or started during a
squall ten days previously, and
every soul aboard of her having
been since that date upon short
allowance.
Upon the quarterback stood Capt.
Luke Pedder, looking unusually
happy, with Will. Hawley beside
him.
~ mean to get our water aboard
before dark, Captain Peddcr, and
SO avoid losing nj ght here" said
the young executive, totally uncon-
scious of the plot to leave him alone
on the desolatc island, and of the
extraordinary adventures which
were before him. The strange
events that happened there, and in
deed the whole fthis thrilling story
will be foand only in the New York
Ledger, which is now ready and for
sale at all the bookstores and news
depots. Ask for the number dated
July IS, and in it you will get the
continuation Of the story from the
place where it leaves off here.

JOE JEFFERSON.
Successful Operation for the Kestora-
tion ofthc Great Actors Eycsight.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Mr.. Jefferson is and will be for
some time confined to his darkened
room; but he is certain to regain the
full use of his eye. The history of
the case is as follows: 1t is supposed
by physicians that for three years
past the morbid tendency which has
eliminated in glaucoma has existed
in his system. "Glaucoma" is
derived from the Latin word glau-
cas-, "of a sea-green COLOR" the cry
stalline portions of the eye, usually
assuming that shade when it is at
tackled by this disease. Mr.. Jeher
son began last January to observe a
dimness in the vision of the eye,
and felt considerable pain in that
region ever since. He supposed he
had simply caught cold and paid no
attention to it. Sometimes he sup
posed it might be result of his
smoking, or again that it was the
effect of the glaring footlights,
particular kind of footlight carried
with him wherever he goes because
he makes so much use of his eyes
in acting, and the light must fall
npon them in certain way.
On June eth, after completing an
engagement in Baltimore, his ply
sicians urged him so strongly to
undergo an operation at once that
he gave up 4 two-weeks engage
ment at the Walnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, and came home,
bringing with him Doctors Reuling,
Germond and Gleltsman, of Balti-
more. The operation was perform
ed by DR.. Reuling on Thursday,and
consisted in cutting out a portion
Of the iris. 1t is said to be great
success. On Friday it was re
bandagcd and washed with luke
warm water. On Saturday he was
allowed to try the eye. The doc
tor held up one and more fingers.
He conld count fingers with the sore
eye six feet off, though the room
was but dimly lighted by a candle
put behind the bed. On Sunday
night, when the bandagc was taken
off, it was found that no matter had
collected upon it, and that the eye
was in excellent condition. The
light did not irritate it. He said
to his son, gayly, 81 can count your
cyc-lashcs."
Although the disease sometimes
reappcars in the other eye, it is not
likely to do so after SO successful
an operation. Mr.. Jefferson will
have to wear 4 green shade for some
weeks, and will not be allowed to
read for u fortnight at least.

Pigeon Shooting Witch Bergh Might
Wink at.

The London (England) Standard,
in speaking Of the great expense at
tendant upon the enjoyment of pig
con trap shooting, describes "me-
chanical appliances'' which afford
unlimited sport at comparatively
small cost, without the cost of live
birds. The invention, which is
called the ''gyro-pigeon," consists
of a steel fan in the form of the toy
known as the aerial top, which ris-
es from rotary motion given to it
by the string. The invention was
lately exhibited and tested at the
museum Of firearms, Ryelane, Peck
ham. The cost of the eyre" with
all its fittings, sufficient for 600 shots
is, in the first instance, f3; but after
this first cost the expense is even
more triiiing, eighteen pence being
the price of a dozen fans, which are
sufficient for six dozen shots, that is
assuming that the person shooting
has sufficient skill not only to kill his
bird nearly every time, but to pour
the entire charge into it SO as abso-
lutely to shatter the steel. The
"gyro" in its flight exhibits innum-
cradle vargaries, going off with the
steady flight of a pigeon, resting on
the wing like a hawk, or darting
swiftly forward like a snipe, thus
affording the very best practice for
the education of the hand and eye
Of the shooter. Upon these grounds
and upon the ground of humanity,
the invention deserves to succeed.
An evidence of the manner in which
it is likely to be appreciated is to be
found in the fact that Il "Gyro"
Shooting Club has already been
formed.

Miss Nellie Grant.

The following is the correspond
encc which passed between the
daughter of the President and Vic
toria, regarding the visit of the for
mcr to her Majesty. The charming
simplicity Of Miss Grants letter,
and its sensible suggestions, proves
her to be true-hearted, intelligent
American girl whose head is not
likely to be turned by the pomps of
Courts, while the kind reply of the
Queen indicates that the woman
shines through the mask of royalty:
LANGHAM HOTEL, May, 1872.
Ny Dear Lady and queen =
I am embarrassed at honor of an
official request, given through a
high officer (your Lord Chamberlin,
I think), to be presented to your
Majesty. l should dearly love to
see you, that might tell my father
and mother that l had been thus
honored. / am but simple Amer
ican girl; that l am the Presidents
daughter gives me no claim to your
recognition as sovereign. If, with
the kind lady who is acting as my
cha2'ero'ee, might visit you, l
should be very glad. Our Secreta-
ry OF Legation hints at some politi-
cal significance in this opportunity.
l cannot so interpret it, and would
not wish it to be so received, be-
cause it would not be right, as l
am nothing in American politics,
and l am sure my father would not
desire me to appear other than as
my simple very humble self. If,
with this explanation, your Majesty
will allow me to visit you, shall
be greatly honored and be very
proud.
have written this note Of my
own motion, and because l think it
the right thing to do. I am your
Majesty's very obcdient servant and
admirer, NELLIE GRANT.
The following autograph letter
was received by Miss Nellie from
her Majesty the Queen, and the Wis
it took place at the time indicated,
and was very informal and pleasant:
WINDSOR CASTLE.
Mss Nellie Grant,:
| have instructed Lady to
convey to you this note, and shall
receive you as the daughter Of your
honhrable parents without the in
tervention of our high officers of
State. l shall accept your visit as
an "American girl" and there shall
be no other significance in the fact
than your kindly expressed desire
to see the lady and not the sover-
eign. l shall find it pleasant to
forget that | am Queen IN receiv-
ing you tomorrow afternoon at our
palace of Windsor. VICTORIA.

MYNE1oHBOR OVER THE WAY

know where an old philosopher dwells-
A bearded gray cynic of wit and sense,
In broad white tent with curious cells,
On the sunny side of the garden fence.
He passes his days in virtuOus ease,
Watching the world with his many eyes;
And perhaps he Is sorry when he sees
How his tent entangles tho moths and MES.
have neighbor, a legal man,
We meet on the sidewalk every day;
lie is shrewd to argue, and scheme, and plan,
Is my legal neighbor over the way;
Tic talks, perhaps, a trifc too much
But he knows such a vast deal more than l.;
We have in our village dozen such,
Who do no labOr-thc Lord knows why.
But they eat and drink of the very best,
And the cloth that they wear is soft and hne,
And they have more money than all the rest,
With handsome houses, and plate, and wine
And ponder at times, when tired and lame,
How strangely the gifts of fortune fall;
And wonder if we are not to blame
Who have SO little, yet pay far all.
Alas. for the workers throughout the land,
Who labor and watch, but wait too long,
Who wear the vigor of brain or hand
In trfling pleasures, and drink and song!
But my neighbor is one who understands
All social riddles; and he explains
That some must labor with callous hands,
While others may work with tongue and
brains.
Though he doesn't make 1t SO very clear,
Why he should fare much better than one
Who docs more work in a single year
Than he in all his life has dOnei
But he argues me out of all demur,
With logic that fOgs my common sense;
And think of the old philosopher
Whose ''shinglc'' hangs by the garden fence
From the Aldine for June.

SIGN OF
The Big Hat

AS the sign denotes, it is tru-
ly a Hat Store, both for Ladies
and Gents. Every person who
visits Independence is familiar
with Turner's Millinery and Fur
nishing Goods Store. Last spring
they added to their stock in the
shape of Gents Hats and Fur
nishing Goods, making it truly
a Hat Store. We say it (and
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-
ment as can be found in any
store of our class of goods west
of Chicago.
To the Ladies Gas usua(, we
solicit share ofyour patronage.
To the Gents-remember it is
truly, surely, and the only Hat
Store in the city. Our Facility
and Experience for purchasing

ses small; consequently our
prices we guarantee.
