SIMON CAMERON.
How He Built His Railroad from Laneas-
ter to Harrisburg.


Standing to-day looking out upon the
stretch of railroad which winds from this thriving
city off toward the State capital an old gentleman
near me said: I" Do you know that Simon Cameron
built this railroad from here to Harrisburg? And
how he did have to fight against the preudices of
the stubborn German farmers who lived along the
line of the route l recollect," he continued d" of
my father telling years ago of the public meet
ing which Mr.. Cameron called at MiddletoWn to
further the building ofthis railroad. There was
good crowd present. and bright man, a good
talker, who was then the attorney general of the
State, made a very spread eagle speech, but the
subject was too big for him, it slipped from
his grasp and he failed to state clearly
the real object of the meeting Mr. Cam
erson, finding his orator lacking in the es-
sential element of practical statement, took the
stand himself and explained what he wanted to
do It then took two days to go to Philadelphia
from Harrisburg. Mr. Cameron stated that when
the railroad was built you could eat breakfast at
home in the morning, go to Philadelphia, spend
several hours, and take supper at home again in
the evening. This statement was altogether too
much for the quiet farmers so long used to the
stage coach, and when the meeting broke up there
was only one man in the whole crowd who took
any stock in Mr.. Cameron's statement A short
time after the meeting was over he approached
Mr.. Cameron in the country hotel, and said
Simon you made that story a little too big. You
might GO down one day and come back the next,
but both ways in one day is too much for honest
mind to believe think, myself the railroad will
be a great thing for rs, but not great as that
The next day he sent Mr.. Cameron one Of his best
COWS with its calf to show his respect for Mr.. Cam
eron's foresight and to emphasize his faith in his
building the railroad. "-Lncaster Letter to Phild

LINCOLN AND JUDD.
Freedom of the Former from Resent
menfs.

Freedom of the Former from Resent
mems.
To show that Abraham Lincoln was
not man Of reSentments Iwould state in this con-
nection that of his first acts after his election
to the Presidency was to appoint Norman B. Judd,
ofChicago, as Minister to Prussia Mr. Judd was
one of the Trumbull coterie who had persisted in
the opposition Mr.. Lincoln for the United States
Senatorship. "A few months prior to the meeting
of the Republican National Convention of 1862 Mr.
Judd, an aSpirant for the Governorship of Illinois
called at my Office in Rock Island, while on an
electioneerng tour and in the course of converse
ton asked
Name your man for the Presidential nomina-
ton at Chicago"
promptly replied: Abraham Lincoln"
Mr.. Judd, in a sneering tone said: " am not
joking; tell me your honest choice"
81 repeated: abraham Lincoln
He quickly responded: 81 am astonished that
any one should think of his nomination when we
have class statesmen in our party like Lyman
TTumbull, Salmon P. Chase and John N. Palmer"
The appointment of Mr.. Judd was generally op-
posed by Mr.. Lincoln's most intimate friends
David Davis Jesse K. Dubois, and others. On one
occasion, in Springfield, when hard pressed by his
personal friends, who brought arguments to bear
against Mr.. Judd's appointment, Mr.. Lincoln re-
piled:
81 cannot understand this opposition to Judds
appointment. 1t seems to me" Ia favorite express
sion) "he has done more for the success of our
party than any man in the State, and he is GER
tainly the best organizer we have"
Unlike his most intimate friends, the great
President cared not for the fact that Mr.. Judd
placed no high estimate on his QIincolns) ability
or statesnanship.-NebrGSkd State Journal

Chicago Fire Sufferers.

Elder Toots arose and begged leave to
inquire whether the club had taken any action to-
ward relieving the sufferers by the Chicago fire.
If not he wanted to move that the sum of 500 be
voted from the treasury for that purpose For about
minute Paradise Hall was SO silent that the tick
ing of the clock sounded like a boy pounding on
an empty barrel Then the President asked:
"What Chicago free
"Why, sab, moas' of the hull city has bin burnt
up"
''WbaF did you git dat news"
Right keah, sab, WIS the reply, as the elder
held Ur Q scrGp-bOok. in which was pasted news
paper account of the big confagratiou of ten years
ago There was q general laugh and wild up
roar when the old mans mistake was realized and
after the excitement had subsidized the president
said

you am purity sartin to git upset. OnIeSS you de-
sire to withdraw dat Tesolushion an substitute one
