Ho,c Zach Chandler Bmlldosed Mr.. LIn-
coin Into Making HIS Second Call for
Troops.
Washington Special
The death of Zach Chandler constrained
writer in the Capital to give a very inter-
esting chapter of heretofore hidden history.
The writer says: 81 happened to be in Wash
ington when the first Bull Run battle was
sought, and when the Northern troops, rout-
ed and disorganized, rushed back to the cap
ital. All was dismay and confusion, and
had not shadow of DOUBT but, had Beaure.
gard pursued, he could have captured WASH
ington. Well, during the time OF consterna-
ton, while walking on the avenue,
whom should meet but Senator
Zach Chandler. We had for twenty
years been warm personal friends, though
autagonistlc politically. Chandler was in
tensely excited at the defeat of the Union
forces, and, like Uncle Toby's army. swore
terribly. "By Cd" said he, "let's 60
right up and see Lincoln. Something has
got to be done or the country's gone to HI.
Come right along" assented to his sug-
gestion, and in five minutes We were IN the
White House. Chandler stood upon no for
malities, and quickly we were in the Blue
room, there We found Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
coin. The former had been weeping, hi q
eyes were red and swollen, and he was walk
ing up and down the apartment with rapid
strides. Turning upon Us the m oment We
entered the room, and recognizing the Sena-
| tor, he advanced and held out his hand ex-
claiming, my God, Chandler, I'm glad to
see you. Oh, We are ruined! ruined! What
shall be done1' "Done, Mr.. President!
Done!' and walking up 10 desk where lay
pm, ink and paper, write out your procla-
nation at once, Immediately calling out three
million men. 1t will give confidence to the
nation. If you don't, we will all be in
anarchy before week. Lincoln expostulatsd,
and said he had not yet had cabinet meet
ing on the subject; that it would meet that
evening, etc.; but Chandler was memorable,
and spoke up still more excitedly: Mr..
President, 1 want that proclamation imme-
| diately; not moment should be lost. Come,
draw it up now-right awsy. and will take
it to the Associated Press, and it will be all
over the country Tomorrow Urging the
President to the desk, in few minutes the
proclamation was written. We left directly
afterward, Chandler going to the Associated
Press Office and to that of q Washington
newspaper. Now, I often ask myself what
would have happened to the country If
Chandler had not visited Lincoln that after
noon?"

Socialism IND NIHILISM.

We are not surprised at the alarm mani
tested in Russia and Germany at the threat
enipg attitude of nihilism and socialism.
The frequent attempts upon the life of the
car of Russia, the incendiarism that has
been so prevalent all over the empire, and the
futile attempts Of the government to detect
and punish the perpetrators, indicate the
strength and wide spread character of the
organization. Every department of the ser
vice seems to be thoroughly impregnated
with the d.stemper, aud the universities are
hot-beds of rebellion against the existing or
der of things. The police of the capital are
kept busy tearing down the incendiary pla-
cards, ttat by some mysterious means are
posted up every night, and officials high in
rank who are surrounded with Gordon of
guards, find their lives threatened in their
very chambers. Arrests of suspected per-
sons are made almost daily, and whenever
the slightest evidence of guilt can be found
the most condign punishment is melted out
to them, but the organization seems to grow
daily in strength and become holder and
more audacious.
In Germany the repressive measures
adopted by the government have proved eff
fectual in putting stop to the public gath
erings of the socialists. Nevertheless, the
order exists to an alarming extent It per-
mestes every part of the social structure
and only fitting opportunity is wanted to
awaken the slumberipg volcano that under
lies the empire. The death of Bismarck or
the emperor, neither of whom can in the ma
ture of things long survive, will be the signal
for such an uprising as the world has never
before witnessed. If it does not result in
the overthrow of the monarchy, it will at
any rate cause it to tremble to its very foun-
dations.
The demands of the nihilists in Russia
and the socialists in Germany are identical.
They are not extraordinary or unreasonable,

To the Editor of the Globe.
In the days of my youth We boys sent val
entipes of the comic order TO our sensit tive
friends, thinking to make them mad, and
then silently enjoy their indignity. If they
did not get mad there was no fun with them,
and thereafter such ores stood higher in
our estimation as good fellows. These rec
collections were created, this morning, on
reading to the card explanatory of our friend
from Saltwater. 1t is worded with the skill
of diplomat, taking the wind out of my
sails, leaving me in dead calm. The suppo-
sition was that he would get his back up and
Jaw back. lam set clear aback on my

The estimates for the support Of the
French army have been submitted to the
chambersof deputies. 1t is expected that
nearly hundred aud fifteen millions of dol
lars will be required. This is only about
three ard half times greater than the cost
of maintaining the American army, and yet
the French army numbers fifteen times as
many men as our own. 1t is very evident
that We don't know how to run q military
establishment on cheap basis.

resolutions:
profound sorrow the announcement of the
sudden and unexpected death of Horace
Thompson.
Resolyed. That in the death of MIR. Thomp-
son St. Paul has lost one of its most devoted
friends and influential citizsns-a brosd-mind-
ed, public-spirited man, who for many Years
Aas one of the foremost workers in al enter
prises leading on to the general prosperity and
business growth of our city.
Resolved, That by bis death st. Paul has lost
q citizen whose financial acquaintance, public
spirit and jealous regard for she publ; faiti,
has largely contributed to the establishment.
of the commercial prosperity and sound
financial standing of our city, large hea ted,
generous citizen of per,evering industry,
whose business enterprises and liberal gifts
and announcements were in the line of public
advancement and whose abundant financial
successes were consequently public blessings.
RESOLVED, That in the death of Horace ThOmp-
son, at a time when his influence and useful
ness was ripe for even more extended pubic
good, this city and this State have suffered a
public calamity.
Resolyed, That these resolutions be entered
upon the minutes of the council and published
in the daily papers of the city.
On moving the adoption OF the above.
President Rhodes remarked that it was IN
necessary for him to say anything in e1-

was prominent in public affairs and all pres
ent knew of his services to the city and State.
The resolutions were then adopted.

Eccentric Wager. /.

For an eccentric wager, the strangest
was one laid at the beginning of the pres
ent century. The sum staked was
only i've shillings, but the interest was
very great when the terms were made
public. It was q contest between two
men as 70 which sheald succeed in adopt
ing the most singular and original cos
tune. The rivals appeared in the Cas-
tie Yard in York, and submitted them
selves to the jury to decide the question.
One had his coat trimmed with bank
notes. Tenrguinea notes formed the lap
els and pocket flaps, and FIVE gninea-notes
the waist coat and collar band. His hat
was trimmed with notes; he wore purse
full of gold coins as an ornament on his
back, with the words Of John Bull !,
His rival seems to have shown less wealth
but more ingenuity. One-half Of his
body was dressed like q woman, with
petticoat, q silk stocking and q slipper,
his. cheek roughed and heightened with
patches; the other half was. that of q ne
gro, woolly headed, black checked, boot
ed with spurs. There could be little
doubt which oughtt 10 have gained the

g An anecdote Of the Emperor Charles
VI. is worth preserving During the
reign of that monarch, an Italian officer
of distinction was dispatched to Vienna
with news Of . battle, in which the inn
perial troops had been completely rout-
ed. On his arrival at the frontier he was
informed By the governor Of the first for
tiled town he entered that, although the
object Of his journey was to announce a
defeat, he must, on the contrary, proclaim
q victory wherever he went and be pre-
ceeded BY twenty or thirty couriers, each
blowing ashorn. Obliged to conform to
this ridiculous custom, the officer contin-
ued his route, and upon reaching Vienna
was instantly admitted TO the imperial
presence; upon which he exclaimed in .
loud tone: s Victory, SIRE, victory I add
ing in lower tone for the especial bene-
&c Of the emperor, Sire, your majesty has
Lost the day. On receipt Of this intelli-

This report provoked good deal of COM
rent, and considerable explanation was called
for. 1t appeared that 1855 was paid the Metro
politan for board of officers and employees.
Also $377.78 was paid for meals on the fair
grounds. Borgardus received $780, and the
balloonist who collapsed 1868. The secretary
received $1,000 and the executive committee
$409. 10.
The secretary's report concludes as follows:
In closing my report I wish to tender my
warnest thanks to the committee appointed
by the chamber of commerce for their very
valuable assistance. To the daily papers Of
st. Paul for their valuable assistance, and to
the press of the State generally for kind

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The question of electing president was
taken up, and John 8. Prince, of St. Paul. and
Sam. E. Adams were nominated. Mr. Adams
positively declined, and Mr.. Prince was chosen
by acclamation. III

Judson. of Pennington, and John x. David
son. of st. Paul. were nominated. After the

that only those who had paid their dues could

taken, and for few minutes there was a
lively paying of dues. The vote was then
taken. the secretary, Mr.. Judson, calling the
=oll and keeping the count without tellers. The
count, as reported, showed Judson IS, David
son 20. Two others who had kept the tally
(unoficially) gave Davidson majority of two,
but the secretary read bis tally sheet over and

were filled by electing J. G. Bass. of Scout

EIephantine Affection.

A story comes from Tenbury, En-
gland, where q menagerie was pay
ing a visit, which illustrates the we'll
known character of the elephant for hu-
name feelings ina remarkable degree.
Among the animals was very fine fe!
male elephant, called =: Lizzie, which
was attacked with violent fit of collie
and suffered intensely. j A: local chem4
list, whose success as an, animal doctor:
is well known, treated Lizzie, and
saved the animals LIFE. Subsequently,
on passing the chemists shop, the eIe-.
plant Immediately recognized her benz
efactor, who was standing at the door
of his shop, and. going up to
him, gracefully placed E, her: trunk
in his hand. Theschemist visited the
exhibition at night, and met with an un-.
expected reception from his former
patient. Gently selling the ssdoctor''
with her trunk, the elephant encircled
him with it, to the terror Of the audi
ence, who expected to see him crushed
to death, but Lizzie had no such in
tenion, and, after having thus demon.
strated her gratitude by acts more elo-.
quent than words, she released the doc
tor from her embrace and proceeded
with her appointed task. ~, g.,t..;sr :,

The Government Clerk.

So enervating is the life in the de-
partment, through little work and sure
pay, that the young man who has once
experienced its relaxing influence loses
all good for active business life. Not
long ago gentleman acquaintance of
mine tried to secure the services of q
young fellow employed in the Interior
Department. The latter once had been
noted for his energy, quickness and
activity; he had taken care of himsek
since he was boy. His early life had
bred in him unusual habits of SELF
reliance, confidence and energy. Three
years ago he was one of the most faith
full, untiring workers. A little over
year ago he secured, through friend,
place in the. Interior Department, at
a salary Of 800 month. It is place
where he has not the remotest chance
OF promotion. Through this year of
non'action the lad has been thoroughly
ruined for active business. When
offered the other day a business place
with equal pay, with chances of promo
ton, but coupled with a,slight risk, so
far as responsibilities are concerned, he
refused to come. out of his snug nest,
where he has nothing to do and no re-
sponsibilities, to take the chances that
little over year ago he would have
snatched at eagerly as the foundation
OF future fortune.-Washi1agto,a letter.
