President Lincoln is quoted by Charles Gibson,
OF st. Louis as telling story illustrating Thomas
II. Bentonsturn forthe drama. Benton and Jack
son had long been at feud and had not met for
many years until Jackson was President and Ben.
ton Senator from Missouri. "Itwas in this room,'
said President Lincoln at the White House, THAT
their first meeting took place. Jackson was seated
at this very table, when the door yonder swung
open and Benton staked In and stood silently in
the middle of the floor. Jackson looked up and
recognized him at once, and recolleced at the
same time that he had no weapon to defend him.
self Equally silently he got up, walked to the
door, locked IL and put the key in his pocket, and
mean war or peaceT : II means peace said Ben.
ton. jackson again arose, walked to the door, un.
locked ", came baok to his seat, and then snid,
Colonel Benton, am pleased TO see you. Take q
chair All this time Benton was standing
Statuesquely in the centre of the room, never
moving muscle while Jackson was locking and
unlocking the door, and tho reconciliation be.

xGovernor Palmer has been interviewed re.
garding the Garfield. Chase letter. He was one OF
the seventeen generals referred to In Garfield's
letter as opposed to forward movement by Gen.
eral Rosecrans. The gist of General Palmers
statement is that General Garfield committed nc
impropriey in writing the letter to Chase, because
" 1t was n common practice among officers ap.
pointed from civil life to write confidential letters
to friends in criticism of their superior officers "
He admits himself having written such letters
the publication of which would greatly annoy y
him now. The frequency of this sort of thing
does not relieve It's practice from rebuke If Il
merited it, and if such thing was frequent, as
General Palmer states 1t will strike the average
reader that the criticisms made against civil officers
by the regular army officers justified and will
also go Il long way in explaining the disaneCtion
war so fruitless in permanently good results

llIf the editor of the New York Tribune is a gem
ueman, and cares to have, keep, and preserve n
reputation as such, he will make ample and hum
BILE apology to the two telegraph operators of this
city who were accused by him of having stolen
from the wires the dispatch which he sent to
President Garfield in relation to the New Yorl,
appointments last April, when Collector Robert

Mr.. John Hay to whom the dispatch was sent, left
IL at the White House, where II was copied and
returned to him at u later period. One of the
copies is now among General Garfield's private
papers, and that which was furnished TO the New

accusation. II remains to be seen whether Mr..

Some day with heart and pulses still,
With folded hands and sealed eyes,
Aud quiet face turued to the skies,
Not even thy touch shall wake one thrill,
SO stih ri lie some day.
And thou shalt weep, and all fond names
Shall cross thy lips may not hear,
And yet, ah yet, thoult be as dear,
(For love shall live, tho lips are still),
As now thou art, that day,
And shall come and M thy dreams
With all sweet thoughts and fairest CLEANS

To cast aside this earthly thrall,
And come TO me some day.
