Chase'sol Frock.

During the impeachment trial OF
President johnson, q very amusing
occurrence happened one day be.
tween Mr.. Wade and Mr.. Chase, who
presided ut the trial. The sessio q
was to open 1t IL m, and it was with.
in twenty minutes OF that time, and
the Chief Justice had not made his
appearance In the Vice. Presidents
room. The hands of the clock crept
slowly but surely nearer the figure II,
when suddenly the door was thrown
open and in stalked the Chief Justice.
He walked hurriedly to tho ward
robe, but his robe Of Office was not
upon it's accustomed peg, nor on any
peg. What was to be done? Pages
were summoned; this, that, and the
other room, desk, and drawer were
examined, but NO robe was discover
ed. In the midst Of this excitement
the grim, honest old hero, Ben Wade,
made his appearance, with q nod aud
q grunt to the fiurried occupants of
the room. He walked to the hat
rack, and, after depositing his hat,
went to the sofa on the other side Of
the room to leave his umbrella in q
safe place. The excitement was still
going on, when Wade, after learning
the cause of the trouble, without en-
tering into the furry of the hunt,
leaned over the sofa, and with his
umbrella hooked up an uncertain
looking black bundle. Seeing it was
the long-looked-for robe, he held it
toward Mr.. Chase, with:
"Here, Chase, here's yer old frock
you've been making such confound.
ed fuss about" The pages smiled .
smile. The Chief Justice was too
overjoyed to do anything but speedi-
ly get inside Of his robe, and, If on
that morning the crowded audience
saw the Chief Justice looked redder.
than usual, they now know the cause
oft; it was al about that frock."

A SPECIAL to the Inter Ocean gives
the following as the views of the Sec-
rotary of the Treasury in regard to
putting in circulation tho new silver
dollar, and if it be true, then we may
not expect to very soon see many of
these dollars:
"After full consideration and con.
sultation with members Of both
houses Of Congress, the Secretary of
the Treasury has determined that the
first silver dollars to be issued will be
used only In exchange at par for gold
coin or for the purchase of silver
bullion at market price. He does not
feel at liberty to use them to paw
current expenses, until the amount
coined is sufficient to furnish all alike
without discrimination; nor does he
deem it expedient at present to ex.
change them for u. s. notes, or to use
them in payment Of interest on, the
public debt until the amount coined
is sufficient to enable him to do &C
imparttally. Therefore they will al
present be used for the purchase Of
silver bullion at market rates. Silver
certificates will soon be ready for is
cue, and are of the form of bank
notes, engraved in the best mannel
and printed on bank-note fiber"

the Chicago evening journal died al
San Antonio, Texas, on last Saturday,
9th inst, whittier he had gone for his
health. Mr.. Wilson, in connection
with j. W. Norris, Esq, Of this city.
founded the Journal If w remember
right in l843. They remained to-
gether for year or more when Will
con purchased the interest of Mr..
Norris, and the latter soon after came
west to Ottumwa.
Mr.. Wilson has been q very careful
and successful business man, having
amasscd large fortune and has been
prominent citizen of Chicago since
he founded the journal. His was q
well balanced mind though in no
sense brilliant. The Journal, under
his proprietorship, has taken rank
among the very leading evening pa
pers of the northwest. For some
years past, Mr.. Wilson has not given
much personal labor to the Journal.
We have not bis age or any means of
arriving ut it exactly but should say
