LETTER FROM HORACE GREELEY
What He KNEW About Girls.
From the Omaha Bee.

From the Omaha Bee
An Omaha lady, while teaching school in
Massachusetts in 1856, boarded with Mr..
Reuben Nichols, who in boyhood was a
schoolmate of Horace Greeley, Hearing
many stories of his boyhood, she, just for the
fun of the thing, wrote to him about the lit
tie red knowledge box in New Hampshire,
where he attended school. He wrote the fol-
lowing reply, which will doubtless interest
our many readers who respect the memory of
one of the greatest men OF our country:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Is, 1856.
Mss HeWes
LAS do not know you, and am little in
terested in any but part OF your letter, you
will allow me in my terrible hurry-having
two days work that ought to be done today,
while must leave at evening for journey
to our Pittsburg cOnventiOn-to speak only
Of that.
livery well remember the red school house
in which l first began to learn (the paint was
worn off long since, and it was very far from
red when l last saw iD; l remember the
Nichols children, who lived just below the
school house, in large house; but l was
cery young then, and l do not make out a
very clear mental picture Of Reuben Nichols.
l think he must have been considerably older
than l. But Irecollect one Aseneth Nichols,
one OF TWO girls not mucn Older than WnOM
thought very pretty, SO that while was
very good speller, and SO one of the two at
the head of the first class in spelling, who
were entitled to ''choose sides" for spelling
match; used to begin by choosing these two
pretty girls, who couldn't spell hokee to save
their souls. Well, this was found not to an
swer; | knew enough to spell but not to
choose sides; so the rule had to be altered,
and the two next to the head had the honor
of choosing Sides" Ask Mr.. Nichols if he
had sister Aseneth, and if he remembers
any such nonsense as this. My kindest re-
CARDS to him. Yours,
HORACE GREELEY.

Greeley,S DreSS-The Truth OF History
on a Much Debated Question:.

[From Ingersos Life and Times of Horace Greeley. ]
Mr.. Greeley never became heartily addicted
to full dress" The last time the writer of
these words saw him was in 1870, on the
Capitol steps in Washington City. He stop
ped and talked for, perhaps, half an hour,
though the day was broiling hot Irecollect
that he was dressed in faultless style, and of
afterward remarking to Mr. Hawkins Taylor,
with whom we walked up the avenue, that
Horace Greeley was the best dressed man
| had seen in Washington" His cravat was
not adjusted precisely in the mode, his hat
was evidently worn as hat, not as an orna-
ment, and his boots were not thin-soled; but
his whole toilet was that of careless elegance,
beftting distinguished gentleman, who spent
no great amount of time before his looking
glass. The many thousands who have seen
him on lecturing tours and on other occasions
when he was off editorial duty when not
being driven before the tempestuous winds
of his busy life-can scarcely credit the nu-
merous accounts we have had of his careless
ness as to Dress Yet they are correct in the
main. His marching suit was not the same
as that he wore on dress parade and the grand
review. And it is certain that he never be-
slowed much time in getting himself into his
best clothes. Several years before his death
he lectured on one occasion at the city of
hamilton, y. "A barber was sent Tor to
shave him, and act as temporary valet de
@anlJre, by whose labors Mr.. Greeley ap-
peared IN the faultless fashion of an exqui-
site. He surveyed himself in the glass mo-
ment, and-exploded. Relying his cravat
and jerking his standing collar about with an
energy of manner and of idiom, while the
Valet vanished out of the storm, the lecturer
appeared in due time with his wearing gear
little awry about the neck, but otherwise
Without violation of the mode. He has been
seen on the streets of New York wearing
coat literally out at the elbows For many
years of his life he was absolutely Indifferent
as to his dress, and at no time did he have
.ne lesire or the patience to give special at
enllon to his personal appearance. That he
oaine to be passably well dressed gentleman
On on occasions when not hard at work, is . fact
which we may in justice rather credit to the
SINUS OF his tailor than his own. Ii there
i has been one man who gave less attention to

"A l41E3EEINIAN BANK INCIDENT.


FROM the ST. Louis Democrat, September p,
The news of the suspension of the bank:
or the city, published in the papers OF yester
day morning, created intense excitement in
Aerry Patch. The thrifty population Of that
classic precinct are in the habit of depositing
their meagre earnings in the savings banks,
and anything that casts shadow upon those
useful institutions throws a gloom over the
Patch. The first duty performed yesterday
| in Kerry, after feeding the pig and milking
| the goat, was to go down town and look after
the deposits in bank. One determined wo-
man took her station in front OF the Hibern-
ian Bank, and patiently waited on the side
walk for two hours, until she saw the doors
opened. Then she entered with firm step,
and addressing young Tansey. said, in voice
of thunder:
''Is this bank suspended"
eyes, madam, but only temporarily"
"Tipperarily, is it? know what Tip
got 5000 deposited in this bank, and want
my money"
"Well, madam, you need not talk so loud
Give me your pass book, and you shall have
your money
Have you got it,"
eyes, I've got it. Hand out your book y
care you sure you've got my 5000 safe
and sound?"
eyes, here it is. Don't make so much
noise''
''Tve got right to make a noise. | work
ed hard for that 5000, and do you think I'm
going to lose it without making noisc?'
Il tell you that your 5000 is not lost; here,
take it away, and don't talk so loud
"You've got it, have you?"
Eyes; tell you it is here"
"My $2OO?"
eyes, your 5000; take it and CO.
"What do l want with it? Didn't I put it
in here for safe keeping?" and the depositor
launched into lengthy and loud harangue
on the banks and bankers, attracting. a crowd
around the door. One of the directors, find
ing the woman could not be silenced, called
in policeman, who took her by the arm for
the purpose of leading her out.
is it the likes of you that dares to lay the
weight of your dirty claws on q dacent wo-
man with 5000 in bank? Get out of this and
lave me alone, ye spalpeen-Im dacent
woman, G-d-you.'
At this moment the president of the bank
entered, and, learning the cause of the dis
turbance, ordered the woman to be released,
and invited her politely to take seat
Il don't want to sit down. I've got two
hundred dollars in this bank, and I'm used to
Standin.
MADAM, think you had better take your
money"
S''Have you got it?' H
''Yes, here is your money
What do you take me for? I put my
money in this hank for safe keeping, and be
dad I'm not goin' to he forced to take it
away. This is bank of deposit, and I'm
you mind that?"
1t was in vain that the depositor was
urged to draw her money. She would neither
take it nor remain silent. After standing an
hour or two longer, and talking all the time
at furious rate, she remembered that her
children had not had their breakfast, and |
with many protestation against the attempt |
to force poor woman to draw her money,
she wended her way back to Kerry Patch,
and informed all the neighbors that the Hi
bernian Bank was only foolin', and had not
at all.

How Queen Victoria Got SO Rich.
TLOp(1On COrraSnOndenco New York World

Prince Albert's will has been kept secret
to this day, and no one knows what it con-
tanned. The rumOr is that the Prince left ev-
erything to the Queen, and that he also laid
ln]unctiOns upon her not to convert any of
the property into money for the purpose of
giving the money to the Prince of Wales.
That young gentleman, it may be remem-
bered, was in disgrace with his papa at the
time Of the latter's death-indeed the death
itself, it has been stated, was the consequence
of cold caught on sudden journey to OK
ford, whittier Prince Albert had been sum-
mOned in haste to get his son out of dis
graceful and dangerous scrape in which he
was involved.

The estate of Balmoral and the Osborn es-
tate are known, and their value can be esti-
mated; but there are in addition the Ken
singtoR estates, of which no one but the

When the plan for the construction of the
South Il kensingtOn Museum was first devised,
there were miles of unoccupied land laying
around the spot chosen for the great collec-
ton of buildings now known as the Exhi-
bition, the Museum and Albert Hall; and !
there were other miles of streets only partly
built, and having for the most part cheapan
poor houses upon them. "A little ring w

A Financial Change.

4 press of other matters has prevented
us from noticing the fact that Mr.. +. C..

Louisiana Savings Bank. vice Mr.. w. Van
Nordeu. resigned. We have maintained in
innate business relations with Mr.. Palmer
for several years, and can conscientious;
endorse him as first rate business man.
lie has energy, intelligence, integrity, and
some money. We have never known him
to fail in any business enterprise that he
ever engaged in. which he had full control
of. The Beaver Meadow paper mill tried
his powers little. but he came out ahead.
He is at the head Of the largest and wealth
lest paper house in the South. and his trm
sells few hundred thousand dollars worth
of carpets every season, just for the sake OF
diversion. If Mr.. Palmer gives as much at
tention to the Savings Bank as he has to
his paper business, he will soon make that
the leading financial institution in the city,
for he Is too young to be lazy, too ambitious
to be satisfied with the money he has al
ready made, and too wise and far-seeing to
make any serious mistakes. While we sym.
pathize with the stockholders o. the bank
in losing Mr.. Van Norden, whom we regard
as very excellent fnancier. we are salts
fed they have secured most capable sue

On Leave Of Absence.

Colonel A. P. Field, Attorney General of
Louisiana, has obtained leave of absence
from Governor Kellogg, and leaves town
to-day to spend a few weeks among his
friends and relatives in Illinois and the
West. Though pretty we'll advanced in
years. Colonel Field entered with all the
zeal and enthusiasm Of a young man upon
the discharge Of the duties of his office last
winter. and is justly entitled to little
recreation during the time the courts re-
main closed for the summer. He has for
years stood at the head Of the criminal bar
in New Orleans, and gave up a lucrative
position to devote his talents to the service
of the State; and the same ability and skill
that in old times enabled him to save SO
many Of his clients from what the public
thought they deserved. has been used lat
teriy with most wholesome effect upon evil
doers. We commend the Colonel to the
kind attentions of cur friends in the North
If they want to know anything about Louis
lana affairs. he can enlighter them.
New Orleans Republican., 1873-07-19
Galveston Our Rival.

The Galveston Ne,vs publishes late
speech of Colonel George Williamson on the
necessity of Central American commerce to
New Orleans:
Not word Of tho above but applies to
Galveston with more force than to New
Orleans, and if . large percentage of the
valuable trade from that quarter be not
brought 60 this city it will be the fault of
her own III srchants. With our present rail-
road connections with Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and other sections west of the
Missouri. We can conduct q trade more
cheaply and more expeditiOusly than New
Orleans; while we can certainly offer su-
peri0r. inducements to the traders ct the
other end of the line.
We SEQ how it is. While We have been
attending to politics and everything else Of
no particular benefit to US in New Orleans,
we have allowed Galveston to reach over
US and grasp at the commerce that naturally
belongs to our port. She has flung her rail-
roads over her wide borders, through the
Indian Territory and across to the central
city OF the cOntiaent, and is now reaching
out her other other hand after the trade Of
the Gulf of Mexico.
Meantime, the Shreveport people are very
happy to think they are Just establishing
railway connections with the gulf without
coming near New Orleans. and propose to
commemorate the event with o grand cele.
bration and banquet some time next month.
All of this is very good for Texas, the
Red river valley and our own interior: but
what is going to become of New Orleans
We can not claim to be a manufacturing
city-hardly . commercial one, any more.
We are only an immense freight depot; but
we ought to be great deal better one than
we ara.
