for the Land Once was at Independence, ana that
he thought 80 when it was removed originally from
Humboldt to Neodesha. So, you see, was not
asking him to strain his conscience at all by asking
ITS removal to Independence Indeed, the only
first to yield to my request was that he had had It
removed to Neodeshai 1t would place him in vacl-
pendsnce. The simple reason that he did not like
TO do that which he thought ought to be done was

After few further observations of desutory
character the interview closed and could not
avoid calling the Senator's attention to an old
gentleman who sat near writing at a desk and

Horace Greeley.
SENATOR YORK
Is rather delicate looking man, weighing about
lao pounds and standing five feet nine inches in
height. There is nothing striking or in the least
degree characteristic about HIM until you look
into his eyes. II you were lion his quiet blue
gray eye would look calmly back into yours
without shadow Of blanching. His
temperament is Of the nervous-sanguine
order, his hair OF fair dun shade, his
skin OF sallow pallor, his eyes are deeply set in
their sockets and his cheek bones are rather promi
nent His forehead is broad, OF medium height
means small. and his lips, which are somewhat
thin, are devoid OF characteristic expression. A
full beard, Of sparse growth the Sides and OF the
same color as his hair, serves somewhat TO conceal
the outlines of physiOgnomy that would other
wise appear lank. In manner he is polite and
agreeable, and his voice, though thin and metallic,
Is not at all disagreeable; on the contrary, in
speaking in the Senate, it has rather clear ring
ing tone.
AS left him he laughingly remarked, in response
to question OF mine as to why he was chosen by
the people OF independence to go to Washington,
al suppose IL was because they know that wnen
undertake to do thing generally do it, Good
day."
