Surrounded by his nieces and his
books the old statesman and philosopher
was unreserved in his conversation as he
was, and always is, simple and cordial in
his hospitality. One of the young ladies
told me that the little household had got
through over two hundred volumes last
winter. The Governor is a yoracious
and versatile reader, no less than an at
tentive and wise observer Of affairs, and
we talked of everything from Thomas A.
Kempis to Thomas A. Hendricks. He
playfully observed that the chief objec-
ton he had heard to the election of Mr..
Carlisle to the speakership, was, that in
some volumes recently published by one
Mr.. Froude, there was suspicion that
he had mistreated his wife. Here must
stop. 1 know the public is most curious
to know what are Mr.. Tilden's views of
political affairs, current and prospec-
tive. I have little doubt that if I had a
right to speak I could, by faithfully re-
porting him, make myself at once enter
tanning and instructive; but opinions of
every man are his own and his house is
sacred.
I never knew a man more entirely
hank in his intercoursssi ith bis friends
than this Sage of Greyst6ne but 1 am
not his mouthpiece, and it is not for me
to come all the way from Kentucky to
New York to do that which he is so much
better able to do for himself l can say,
however, for myself that nothing passed

Four Hasty Marriages.

A New Woodstock, Madison County,
correspondent of the Utica Herald says i.
ave gave last week notice of the mar
riage of Miss FANNY Aurt, of Paris, to Mr..
MCGEE, of New York. They were mar
ried Saturday evening, at the residence
of her uncle, John Burkey. They re-
mained there until Monday, leaving on
the noon tram for Syracuse. Arriving
here they tarried at the Candee House
until Wednesday morning after breakfast,
when he remarked to his wife that he
would go and procure livery horse and
take a ride. She has seen or heard moth
ing from him since. After he had left
her, she found IS missing from her port
monnaie, which was nearly all she had.
Her aunt, Mrs. Burkey went for her
Saturday morning to Syracuse, arriving
home on the evening train, bringing
Fanny with her. Fanny's brother, who
resides in town, received letter from
him on Saturday, post marked New York
stating that he was obliged to cross the
ocean to visit his father, who was very
sick, but would return for his wife in
about six weeks. 1t is sad affair, and
has caused considerable excitement in
town. Who the villain is we know not,
but trust he will meet his just deserts.

A Verona correspondent of the Oneida
Union says: "Last fall Miss Miriam Cole,
a daughter of Mrs. Frederick Dohn, by a
former marriage, was, against the advice
of her parents, united in marriage to q
worthless fellow by the name of Walter
Booth, the service being performed by
Rev. Mr.. James, of Verona. The young
woman possessed some property in her
own name, and through her stepfather
purchased small farm at Union Corn
ers, in the town of Lennox. The faith
less husband, failing to get title to the
property in his own name, fled for parts
unknown with gypsy girl few days
ago, leaving his young wife in a delicate
condition. IfBooth could be caught by
the people ofthis vicinity he would pro-
badly be treated to a coat Of tar and fea-
theirs before being handed over to the
officers of the law"
Miss Florence Burton, a belle of Con-
cord, N. H., daughter Of J. L. Burton, a
well-known banker and railroad man,
disappeared from home a month ago

she married at days notice. The father
and mother, after lively pursuit from
city to city, found the deluded girl in
Milwaukee, where she had been aban-
doned by her companion, whose name is
Fred L. Bixby. She has gone home
with her parents, and Mr.. Burton threat
ems to shoot Bixby on sight.

The Latest About Webster.

When Webster was at the zenith of
his career, one day gentleman waited
upon him to engage him for the defense
in an important case of law the amount at
stake in the suit being eighty thousand
dollars. The gentleman asked Mr.. Web
ster what the retaining fee would be.
"A thousand dollars"
"A thousand dollars!" exclaimed the
gentleman.
Eyes. Only think, for moment, what
I engage to do, sir. do not only hold
myself at your service in the matter,
perhaps for month or more, but / de-
bar myself from accepting any offer, no
matter how large, from the plaintiff"
The applicant was satisfied with this
explanation, wrote out check for the
amount and gave it to the great expoun-
der, who, after he had put it into his poe
ket, said:
II will now give you bit of advice,
gratis. Ifyou can compromise this busi-
ness upon fair terms with the plaintiff
you had better do So"
The client acknowledged his thanks
and took his leave. In a few days after
the gentleman called upon Mr.. Webster
again and told him that compromise
had been effected, and the matter was
satisfactorily settled. Mr.. Webster duly
congratulated his visitor on the result,
and would have turned to other business
but the visitor seemed to have something
further on his mind.
"Of course" he ventured, after pause,
II shall not require your service, Mr..
Webster"
Certainly not, sir"
"Aud-and how about the one thou
sand dollars paid your" family asked
the gentleman, who was not quiet recon-
ciled to paying such sum for services
which were never to be rendered.
"Oh, ahw responded Daniel, with .
bland smile; "you don't seem to under
stand. It is very simple. That was q
retaining fee-called in a law retainer.
By virtue ofthe contract also became
retainer. What should retain II not

A Visit to the Sage OF GreystOne.

Hon. Henry Watterson, who has been
spending some days with Mr.. Tilden, has
written the following account of his visit
for the Courier-Jour7aal.
have been spending few days at
Greystone with Governor Tilden, and
not merely because his old friends in the
West and South have an ever present
personal interest in him, but because his
name is at this moment upon the lips of
politicians of every class all over the
country. l propose to give the readers
of the Coeerier-Journal some particular &C
count of him. When parted from him
year ago never did expect to see him
again. Indeed, also was 80 skeptical
of stories concerning his restoration to
health as to feel delicacy about intrud-
ing on his privacy. He was good enough
to send for me, and went over to Gra-
mercy Park in a somewhat sorrowful
sympathetic state of mind. My surprise
almost exceeded my qualification. The
old house is undergoing reconstruction
and enlargement on magnificent scale,
but the old library isstill the same, being
held from the hand of despoiling splen-
dor to the last. I take it as tribute Of
af1ectionate remembrance of old times
and old friends and old books. There l
found Governor Tilden. If an appari-
ton had stood before me l could not
have been more astonished. The days
of 1875-6-7 seemed to have come back.
His low voice was found again; his eyes
were bright and his cheeks rosy; his in
tellect is sinewy and clear, and his wit as
incisive as they were when he made
nothing of riding Blackstone to Harlem
in and back, or driving his Kentucky
bays from Gramercy Park to Greystone.
He took me all over his new house,
pointing out the various changes, ex-
planning his general design, and discuss
ing architecture and architects with
characteristic intelligence. He quite
tired me out-a favorits and malevolent
way he has of furnishing his friends, in
climbing long stairs and meandering
through labyrinths of decorative art and
threading tapestried and frescoed mazes
of corridor and chamber. On current
affairs he talked with his usual pungency
and candor. Edurance had ceased to be
virtue. said:
"Governor, don't you think we have
had enough of this?"
He smiled, and in his dry, half plying
half sarcastic way, and replied:
"If you are tired we will 60 down.
stairs"
At Greystone his life is of the simplest
and bus; vt. He has farm hard by and
n end Or pigs, poultry and blooded
stock. OF course, had to be dragged
over his farm, and the devices which the
old gentleman put slyly forth to trap me
into, some nnguarded treason to butter
and eggs ofmy Blue Grass country, were
many and ingenious. Istood my ground
like hero, but it must be owned that
the Governors farming is like everything
he undertakes, thoroughly well done. !

money out of it.

Moss-green and red gold, yellow gold and

with all these all shades of gray, which
are once more in great favor.

CHAPTER XII.


rRAPpERs, WOLVES AND woLFERs, INDIAN
vENGENCE.
At this time class of men with some
peculiar characteristics lived and ranged
on the river. They lived entirely by
hunting, trapping and poisoning wolves.
They were men Of undoubted courage
and were reckless IN taking chances, that
is, that wherever beaver or wolves were
to be found, there they went, even if it
was in the heart of the hostile country.
But when once in this country they
were very cautious and being good shots
and understanding the Indian nature,
were greatly feared by the savages, and
with good cause for the red brother
generally came out second best; and so
for years before this country was opened
up for settlement, little bands of these
men had trapped on every stream and
prospected every gulch for gold between
the mountains and the Missouri. 1t took
more nerve than in the days when the
Rocky Mountain and American Fur
Companies trappers were roaming over
this country, for then the Indians were
comparatively friendly and poorly armed,
These men were lavish with their money
and were always ready with a helping
hand to those in need. They were very
clamish and had a holy horror of a ten
deEtoot. They were always ready for a
quarrel, and were handy with knife or
pistol, but like Sam Weller, "Fair play
was considered a jewell" They came
from texas and Maine, from England and
France, but after few years Of this life
they knew no country but the Yellow
stone. When the first railroad whistle
awoke unknown echoes in the noun
tains their fate was sealed. The dreaded
tenderfoot had triumphed, and nothing
was left for them but death or banish-
ment

The sight of Ben Butler in tue Su.

during the old days of the Potter In
vestigAting Committee. He was q
member of that committee. He was
very much delighted when the testl.
mony all ran against the Republicans,
but when it began to gather IN the
Democrats too he was dispieased.
r[e said the committee reminded him
ofamachine once invented by an Irish
friend of his to save trouble in eating
meat. The nachine would tske all
the bones out and throw them over
,he right and lett shoulder OF the eat
eli, while 1t discharged with precision
the separated meat into the open and
expectan. mouth of the irish gour-
mand. One day the machine got
out of order, and the meat was sent
fiying to the right and left, while all
the bones we're fred down the Irish
mans throat, killing him before the
machine could be adjusted.
