COLONEL DICK wINTLRsMIrIl.

At the Galt House years ago,
was collected crowd Of congenial
spirits, most of whom are now dead
or scattered. Among thom was
Col. Richard Wintcrsmith, now, I
believe, Il resident of Washington.
Ho was Secretary of State of Ken
lucky in those days, but when tho
war broke out, went South with
Breckinride and Preston and the
rest. He was q great friend of
Breckenridge and warm advocate
of that gentleman claims to be-
come President of the Southern
Confederacy. One day, in the Gait
House, just before tho Kentucky
party started South, Breckenridge
came up to group in which the
Colonel was the centre, sat down on
his knee, threw his arm about his
neck, and said: "Dick, when T am
President I want you to ask for any
office you want, and it's yours"
"No Office for me, Mr.. Breckin-
ridge said the Colonel "but when
you are President there is one
thing I'd like for you to do. want
you to come to me in some public
place like this, sit down on my
knee, put your arm around my
neck, and Just call me Dick. That's
all, I'll take care Of the rest
+ heard another story Of Colonel
Dick in the Gait House the other
night, where tho stories are told of
him without number. It appears
that the Colonel was on his way
down Pennsylvania Avonue with his
wife to call on Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes.
Just before thcm was slight and
undersized ottache Of one of the
foreign legations. Colonel Winters
smith is over six feet tall, and large
in proportion. Mrs. ". made some
remark which the foreigner over,
heard and considered insulting. He
turned ferccly on the Colonel.
81 hold you responsible for that,
sir" he said. II will hold you re-
sponsibfe as this lady's husband.
"No, you don't" replied Colonel
Richard, who was u particularly
gallant soldier during the war
mo, sir. She's got father, and
she's got brothers. Go TO them
I'm no blood relation"
Colonel Dick had his joke, and
town the laughed the foreigner out
of his craving for GORE LouisoiNe
Letter. .......
