General Harrison.

He had great respect for the
members of his cabinet, and gener-
ally acquiesced in their suggestions
without remonstrance. On one oc-
casion, however, he asserted the au-
thority of his Office with a degree
Of determination and dignity that
astonished the executive council.
Colonel Chambers, of Kentucky, an
intimate personal friend, who had
served on the staff Of General Har-
rison in one of his campaigns
against the Indians, was under an
engagement of marriage with the
widow of his SON.. Chambers ac-
companied him to Washington, at
his request, and the arrangement
was that he should have the ap-.
pointment of register of the treas
ury, and after the marriage he was
to reside at the White House, Mrs.
Chambers to be the presiding lady
of the executive mansion. She was
an accomplished, elegant woman,
greatly caressed ia Washington So
ciety The finished gentlemen by
whom she was surrounded at the
seat of government contrasted so
strikingly with her Kentucky lover,
who was plain man, Of brusque
manners, that she finally declined
to fulfill her engagement. General
Harrison was much concerned at
this unfortunate contretemps, and
perceiving that Chambers would be
uncomfortably placed in Washing
ton, offered him any appointment
elsewhere that he might select.
The unlucky suitor asked for the
office of Governor of the Territory
of Iowa. The place was assured
him as a matter Of course. Mean
time Mr.. Webster had promised the
office to his friend General Wilson,
of New Hampshire. At a cabinet
meeting Mr.. Webster informed the
President that it had been decided
by the gentlemen Of the cabinet
that James Wilson should be Gov
ernor OF Iowa. "Ah! that is the
decision, then, is it," said General
Harrison. The gentlemen of the
cabinet replied in the affirmative.
Without making any further re-
mark, the old gentleman wrote a
few words upon a piece Of paper
and handed it to Mr.. Webster. re-
questing him to read it aloud. The
secretary of state looked a little
embarrassed, but there was no al
Tentative, and he read, in an audi
bic voice, "William Henry Harri-
son, President of the limited
States" The General, rising to
his feet, said: "And William Henry
Harrison, President of the United
States, tells you, gentlemen, that,
by John Chambers shall be
Governor of Iowa" Of course
that concluded the subject, and
Chambers was appointed. From
