Last year / went to Europe on one
OF the finest vessels that ever plough
ed the waters of the Atlantic. We
had very beautiful weather until
very near the end Of the voyage;
then came a most terrific storm
which would have sunk all on board
had 1t not been for the captain. Ey-
cry spar was laid low, the rudder
was almost useless, and a great leak
had shows itself, threatening to 6u
the ship. The crew were all strong
willing men, and the mates vere
practical seamen of the first class:
but after pumping for one whole
night, and the water still gaining
upon them, they gave up in de-
SPAR, and prepared to take the boats
though they might have known no
small boat-could ride such a sea-
Inc captain, who had been below
with his charts now came up; he saw
how matters stood, and with a voice
that l heard distinctly above the
roar of the tempest, ordered every
man to his post.
1t was surprising to see those men
bow before the strong will of their
captain, and hurry back to the
pumps. The captain started below
to examing the leak. AS he passed
me l asked him if there was any
hope. He looked at me and then at
the other passengers who had crowd
ed up to hear the reply, and said
rebukingly:
eyes, sir, there is hopes as long
as one inch of this deck remains
above water; when l see none of it:
then shall abandon the vessel and
not before, nor one of my crew, sir.
Everything shall be done to save il.
and if we fail it will not be from in
action. Bea1 hand, every one of
you, at the pumps"
Thrice during the day did we de-
spair; but the Captains dauntless
perseverance, and powerful
will mastered every man on board,
and we went to work again.

About thirty years ago, said
Judge F., l stepped into bookstore
IN Cincinnati, in search of some
books that l wanted. While there
a little ragged boy, not over II years
of age, came in aud inquired for Il
geography.

again and came back.

he; "could you let me have grOg-
raphy, and wait a little while for
the rest of the money!"
How eagerly his httly bright eyes
looked for an answer! and oh how
he seemed to shrink within his rag
ged clothes, when the man, not very
kindly, told him he could not? The
disappointed little fellow looked up
to me, with a very poor attempt at
4 smile, and left the store. fol
lowed him and overlook him.
"And what now?'' l asked.
''Try another place, sir"
''Shall l go, too, and see how you
succeed?"
"Oh, yes, if you like said he in
surprise.
Four different stores l entered
with him and each time he was re-
fused.
"Will you try again ?'' 1 asked.

We entered the fifth store, and
the little fellow walked up manful-

Horace Greeley and William Cullen
BRYANT

Horace Greeley and William Cullen
Bryant
The writer of the New York Posts arti-
Gle, some fifteen years ago, to which Mr..
Greeley replied "You lie, you villain, you
lie," was not Bryant, but his principal edi-
torial assistant, John Biglow, who was our
minister to France during the war. Biglow
was naturally indignant over the language,
but Bryant was excessively incensed at it.
and never afterward, on any occasion, would
recognize Greeley, or speak to him. Bry-
ant and Greeley frequently happened to be
together at public dinners or public meet
ings, and Bryant more than once made
illusions which Greeley must have thought
were meant for his ears, but Greeley never
gave the least sign of taking offence atsuch
times. They were together some five or
six years ago, at dinner given to Senator
Casserly at Delmonico's, and Bryant with a
belligerent and trenchant look in his face.
and in that peculiar metallic tone of voice
to which he sometimes resorts, warned Cas-
serly against those pr0-tec-tion-istc cor-mo-
rants whom lie had met in his political
career. At these words Greeley hung his
head like blushing girl, and soon made
speech filed with the most excellent humor
about things in general, but with no allusion
to protection or free trade.

MIR. Summers First Days in Washing
ton.

Senator Sumner recently met an old friend
who enjoyed the honor of being the only
man in Washington to live in the same
house with him when in 1884 the future
Senator first visited the capital. This was
Dr.. Blake, President of the Metropolitan
bank, and a member of the board of public
works. DIR. Blake was boarding at the
house of Mrs. Peyton, at the corner of the
avenue and Four-and-a-half street, when
young Sumner, tall, fresh, and Bostonian,
came there to lodge. He had just seen the
first slave on the stage road between Balti-
more and Washington, and regarded him
with wonder, curiosity and Indignation.
Before the guests had made UP their minds
as to what kind of a youth he might be, the
marshal of the supreme court stopped with
his carriage and left the cards of all the
justices for him, formality which made
no little talk. This courtesy was due 10
Judge Story, whose pupil Mr.. Summer was,
and who had advised him at the termina-
tion of his studies to attend the supreme
court and get the spirit and association of
that tribunal At that time all the Judges
messed together in Mrs. Carriers boarding
house which was recently torn down to ex-
tend the capitol grounds. They drank
what was called the Judicial Madeira, an
direct from Madeira island,
which George Washington ordered through
the port of Alexandria, and seeing his
world-famcd name in the order, the ship
pers picked out quite superior pipe.
When Gen. Washington died, his nephew,
Bushrod. who was justice in the supreme
court, continued the annual order, and
next John Marshall fell heirto it, so that to
hear Mr.. Summer relate the sequence gave
one a kind of musty hilarity such as naight
have been felt at the tomb Of Washington, |
If the old General had got mp by request TO
