MIR. stanton and the Widow. Son,

The following anecdOte of Edwin NJ. Stanton
Secretary OF War under Lincoln, is related by
Colonel HofatiO c. King, of New York, and has
not been beforein print: Soon after the COloneFS
entry into the service and while on the staff OF
Major General Casey. commanding the Provis-
ional Brgades south of the Potomac, he was re-
quested by General c. to accompany lady
friend of his to the War department, to intro
duce her to the Secretary in whose law Office the
then Captain King had been student for two
years preceding the war. The lady "a widow,
was from Germantown, in high social position
and the mother OF patriotic and only son who
resigned lucrative position in bank to enlist
as q private. He had been shot through the
calves of both legs at the second Bull Run, and
was then in Washington, in hospital, with very
painful and tedious, though not dangerous
wounds. An order had been recently issued for
bidding the furlougEing of men in hospital or
out, and the object Of the visit was to have an
exception made In favor of this young man. 1t
was the usual hour for morning reception, and
the two fell into the line Of those seeking an in
tervieW. Approaching the Secretary the mother
plead her cause with fearful eyes, urging his
social position and pledging her word that her
son should return as soon as he was tit for duty.
But Mr.. Stanton was fneXOrable A friendly
WORD from her escort was also received with dis
favor. The widowed mother left with heavy
heart to say goodbye to her son, and to return
TO Philadelphia that afternoon. Her escort,
rather creStfalen at his i'll success after trans
acting other business, returned to Headquarters
On his arrival he found a note from Mr.. Stanton
directing him to report at once to him. With
some degree OF treInulouSneSS he fastened to
the Secretary's Office and sent in his name. He
was ushered into the private room where Mr..
Stanton stood at desk, pen in hand. The as
perity of two hours before had disappeared and
after cordial greeting he asked the name OF
the lady, where she could be found, and In what
hospital the son lay. When informed that the
mother was probably then at the depot he has
lily wrote note and requested the captain to
find and deliver it to her as soon as possible.
The gallop to the depot was accomplished in
quicker time than the ordinances of Washington
permitted; the mother was found in the train,
order to the surgeon in charge of the hospital to
permit the sons removal to Germantown. A
mothers tears had melted the heart of the
SterneSt and most Obdurate War Secretary that
this government has ever known.

A Mesmerist,s Joke.

Several well-known citizens were talking to-
gether yesterday in the billiard room OF the
tnited States Hotel, when Carpenter, the mes
melist came in to see II the bill poster had left
any of his programs. Two or three gentlemen
began to poke fun at the professor, and init
mated that there was some trickery in his per-
formance, Finally the mesmeric operator got
upon his dignity, and offered to give free ex-
hibttion, then and there, of his skill. He said
ne We uld so place one OF the party, when under
his il fiuence, that Wien he (Carpenter) had
caused the subject to grasp his own nose he
could not leave the room without taking his
fingers from his nose. The wager was accepted
and one of the party, a gentleman from Wind
scr, gave himself up to the influence of the mes
merist who placed him by the side of an iron post
or pillar. told him to close his eyes, and made
few passes over his face. He then took tie
gentlemans arm, brought it around the
post, and put his nose between his fingers. A
few more passes, and Carpenter said, Now, sir,
you cannot leave the room without taking your
fingers off your nose" The victim opened his
eyes and at once saw the point, not of his nose
but of the joke-for he was obliged to let go the
hold of his nasal appendage in order to let go
his embrace OF the iron post.-[Hdrtf0rd Tunes,

RELUCTANCE TO MILITARY LIFE has induced,
among the inhabitants OF certain villages in the
department OF the Seine, a curious pract ce OF
atrOphying one OF the great toes by some secret
method OF muscular retractiOn which has BAT
fled the scrutiny OF the most experienced army
surgeons. The reformation prevents the proper
surface Of the foot from being brought fairly
and fully on the ground. With such success
has this system OF mutllatiOn been carried on
for the past 40 years in one particular village,
and so discreetly have the peasants kept their
own counsel that, in the whole OF the long pc

Didn't Understand the Plumbing
RnSimeSS.

One Of the plumbing establishments of Dam
bury took in new journeyman the other day.
He was from hamlet over in New York state
little hamlet, where he had worked with his
father. The day after his arrival there was
burst in the water-pipe of house in Pine street.
He was told to go over there and attend to it.
Seeing the owner Of the house in the shop he
went up to him and got the particulars of the
break, and then he made ready with his tools
and started. just as he was passing out of the
door the proprietor saw him: Where are you
going?" The new man told him. DO you mean
to tell me that you are going up there to fix that
pipe without examining II? ?" he gasped. "Why,
l am going to look at it when get there" said
the new man. "Merciful heaven J" CALCULATED
his employer, catching hold OF the desk to sup
port himself. "Can it be possible that you can
do a job at one visit? Don't you know your
trade better than that? Have you no pride in
your business? Why, you'd ruin the entire COM
munity in less than year!" And the speaker
burst into tears. AS soon as he grew calmer he
explained to the new man that he should first
visit the house make thorough examination of
the building, get lay of the streets, find the
location of the nearest hydrant, go up on the
roof OF the house, and then return thoUghtfully
to the shop for his tools, keeping meanwhile an
accurate record of the ttme.-[ Dtn5,t1y Ne,Cs.

The Wealth of London.

II you chance to pass before These London
houses between and in the afternoon, the
understandable will intrude themselves on your
sight, even without your throwing an indis-
creetly piercing eye through the large and we'll
polished glass pane OF the thousands OF ground
floors you pass by. Together with the sight
comes upon you the thought Of the expensive
ness OF the life which the inmates of these thou
sands of identical three-windowed houses lead.
To speak the striking language OF numbers, and
to take rough estimate, one might say that on
every one OF these dwellings comes yearly in

The average income OF the same class IF society
in the Richest country OF the Continent, France,
four-fold that OF German, eight-fold that of an
revenue of an Italian Minister himself-eyer
since the radical friends OF the poor taxpayers
on the day OF their accession to oifice raised the
salary by e300-dOeS not yet attain to two-thirdS
of that income which / suppose necessary for
the maintenance of an ordinary household in
one of the simpler abodes of the West End of
London. And all these well-to-dO people are
English. They are not like the rich OF Paris
and Rome, the privileged few of every distant
and in a great pleasure factory or round
curiosity shop. All the inmates of
these houses wear the British stamp as well as
the houses they inhabit, and suggest at once the
wealth OF the whole higher middle class In this
country. AT the same time as the expensive
ness their style of living suggests the artific-
iality Oh the whole fabric required to maintain
modern existence when it mas reached the de-
Nelopment it has attained in this island. For it
not the SuperfiuiteS 1t Is the necessities OF the

iactured life is more perceptible in an English
country seat than in an Italian Or South France
city. If Italy was shut up tomorrow, it seems
that few would lose their work; and nobody
would undergo great privations at any rate, the
poor would suffer but little, and the middle class
not much more. as there is a practical equality
exclusively agricultural countries of southern
clilneS which is unknown to nations of more adj
yanced and consequently more artificial civil
fZation. For, even when the whole machine is
working normally, and all the supplies are flow

The NIoneyed Classes.

Statistics lately collected In one of our Oldest

farmers boys or poor boys in the cities and vii

ton Of the money which they now possess will
be in the hands OF their grandchildren. The
"moneyed aristocracy " OF the next generation
are growing up now on the farms and In the

true of every other city. The fortunes that are

future control of the property which now they
call their own must be so very slight?

thing for the poor men of this country to com

which promotes such rapid distribution OF
wealth, and which offers such abundant
