The Late Alex. HI. Stephens.

"The sad news from Georgia's Governor is
received with keen regret here, ," says Wash
ington correspondent of the Post-Dsspatch.
''Mr. Stephens was highly respected by all,
and beloved by many here. His little wheeled
chair, which had for SO many years occupied
its place in the semi-circle in front of the
Speakers desk, has been missed this session
by not few, and the picture of his kindly
face and frail form rises vividly before many
eyes accustomed to the sights in the House.
He had seen a great deal of life, yet no man
or woman was too humble to receive his at
tention. He was very charitable, and it is
said dispensed his entire salary for charita-
BILE purposes. He was very companiOnable,
and his society was pleasure to all who met
him. He seldom spoke much of his expert
ence in the Confederacy, though once in con-
versation with him your correspondent, re-
ferring to prison experiences, he remarked
that he had had personal experiences in that
line. There was twinkle in his eye as he
said it, and it was easy to see that the recol-
lection of his Incarceration at Fort Warren
did not awaken any bitter feelings, but rath-
er the reverse. Out of this imprisonment
grew a great happiness for number of Mr..
Stephens family, and lifelong pleasure to
the gentleman himself. During his confine-
ment at the military prison at Fort Warren,
he was visited by New England lady, who
had left her home to act as nurse in the
South. Finding him weak, i'll and lonely,
she visited often and spent some time read

ing to him-for he was an excellent listener
from some work just issued from the press.
She was a beautiful young woman, with a
voice full of cadence and pathos, and her
manner Of reading as well rs her general air
suggested refinement and pure womanhood.
One day while she was reading, Mr.. Steph-
ems brother called to see him. Having been
admitted he was permitted to make his way
alone to the room occupied by the improvised
Vice-President. As he approached, the tones
OF the reader fell upon his ear. The rich,
sweet voice, the intelligent manner, and the
outlines of the fair form entranced him. He
stopped spell-bound, and observing that his
approach had been observed by reader and
listener, he stood quietly drinking in the rich
tones, and though the wol DIS came with Yam
kee intonation they struck responsive chord
In his heart, and before an hour had passed
he had determined to seek the hand of the
Yankee woman in marriage. He sought, and
was in time successful, and his beautiful
wife, and the lovely daughters who came In
later years, were great favorites with Alex
ander III. Stephens to the last"
Mr.. Stephens was astronomical mystery.
He could pack away an unconscionablc
amount of food. OF course, he never went
to the dining hall of the National Hotel,
where he had made his Washington home
for over thirty years, and when his ''frugal
meap' was sent up it was enough to stagger
the stoutest heart. Three or four kinds Of
meat, all the vegetables, entrees and des-
serts, and coffee and wine. But the old gen.
tlemen went through this outlay like cy-
clone, and came up to attack regularly three
times day, on schedule time. He would
generally wind up the evening over game
of whist with his old cronies, and he was
bad man to fool with in this branch of in
dustry. Another phenomenal trait was his
memory of names and faces. He probably
knew every man, woman and dog in Georgia
from their birth up, and was familiar with
every incident in their lives. A writer re-
calls one evening when a young man from
Georgia was ushered into the room of Mr..
Stephens. No card had come in advance; so
the old gentleman could not possibly have
been forewarned and forearmed. The visi-
tor entered modestly, saying he was from
Georgia, and merely wanted to call and pay
his respects. Mr.. Stephens held out his bony
hand, scrutipized his caller closely for sew
eral minutes, and then, calling him by name,
said he was delighted tose him. The young
man was amazed, and said that his only in
PRODUCTION to Mr.. Stephens had been twelve
years before and was only casual meeting.
Without replying to this the old gentleman
went on kindly enough to inquire about his
family, and appeared thoroughly acquainted
with his surroundings. This was in a re-
mote part of Georgia, where Mr.. Stephens
had seldom been. Mr.. Blaine is perhaps the
only man left in public life with such mys-
terious gift of memory. Some feats quite as
astonishing are related of the Maine states
man.

Legal Swindles.

(From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.]
The maudlin attempt of Senator Don
Cameron to stop the exposures made by
Senator Van Wyck of the profigate and
extravagant expenditures made by the
Department of Justice in the employ
ment of counsel to carry on suits for
the United States Government has had
the good effect of calling more conspic-
uous attention to one of the abuses of
administrative power which is carried
on at Washington. The Attorney
General, the Judges of the Supreme
Court and the Cabinet officers of the
Government, the Presidents confiden
tial advisers, receive salaries of $4,000
a year, and are supposed to be fairly
paid with such compensation. The
Judges of the United States District
Courts, the District Attorneys, Post
masters. Internal Revenue Collectors,
Collectors of Customs, and other otfi-
cials holding responsible positions are
compensated with annual salaries rang
ing from So 500 year to $4,000, and In
any case in which an official is dissatis-
fed with his compensation there are
dozens of competent men waiting to
take his place when he resigns.
But from a report of the expenses In
the Star Route cases 1t appears that
the attorneys who were retained to as
sist the Government in the prosecution
have been paid at the rate Of $3.50
day, or more than $780, year, and
have thus been subsidized, not to close
the cases, but to protect them and to
prevent them from ever reaching q
settlement.
It was small swindle in the account
that when these highly paid important
lawyers had to travel or write letters
they carefully charged the Government
with the cost of their postage stamps
and of the blacking Of their boots, bat
it illustrates the principle of their SER
vice to bleed the Government for all
that can be got out of it.
We should like to believe that at its
next annual meeting the Bar Associa-
ton of the United States would use its
influence to put an end to an abuse
which reflects on the whole profession.
but we are confident that it will do
nothing of the kind. When the law
yer at the head of the Department of
Justice endorses the swindling charges
made by the lawyers employed by the
Department, he merely does what is
done in every State and court in the
Union, in which trust estates are eaten
up by legal charges, and in which re-
ceivers, referees, special counsel, COM
missioners and other legal sharks are
allowed to plunder the people by au-
thorlty of the courts.

Bill Chambers InsOlence.

The Washington correspondence of the
New York Sun tells of a man to whom the
Secretary of the Navy had promised pay
ment. The Secretary was IN hurry, and
in bad humor as well, and said brusquely
that he couldn't attend to it then-call the
next day. The next day, accordingly, the
man called. Chandler was in an ugly tenn
per and evidently looking out for some one
to be the victim of it. He saluted his visitor
by saying, GROSSLY:
"Well, you're in a tremendous hurry about
that money!"
swell, Mr.. Secretary" replied the visitor,
"if you remember, this was the day agreed
upon"
"Well," sullenly remarked Chandler, call
I've got to say is, that you're in a great hur-
ry to handle that money"
The man looked the Secretary full in the
eye. "Do you know, sir" he said, ''that
don't allow people to talk to me in that tone
or that manner, and would like to know
what you mean by adopting 1t toward me
when come here on simple matter of bus
iness."
"Well, think, }" responded Chandler, dog
gedly, "that you are in a big hurry"
"See here" said his visitor, who was not
the kind of a man to put up with lnsolence,
'if you don't unsay that and apologize for it
now, on the spot, l will give you the biggest
thrashing you ever had in your life, right here
in the presence of your chief clerkw
And Chandler on the spot backed down,
apologized profusely, and handed over the
money.

President Arthur's son, Allen, who was
recently suspended from Princeton College,
with nineteen other students, including the
sons of Gen. Mcclellan and Mr.. Libbey, the
New Yorker who has given so much money
to that institution, has been reinstated with
his companions, as the escapade which
brought down the wrath of the faculty
proves to have been an innocent frolic. The
story, as now told, is that these young men
with seventeen other students gave wine
supper in hotel to some visiting students
from Harvard. They were assigned a ban
quet hall in somewhat remote wing of
the hotel, that other guests might not be
disturbed. This was just under the story
where the chambermaids slept. When the
supper had reached its conclusion the par
ticipants were in boisterous humor, and
as the night was cold and dark they con-
cluded that it would be grand climax to
the fun to go up and drive out the girls and
capture their quarters. The frail doors
were kicked in and the girls fled shrieking
down stairs. The jolly boys were only too
contented in capturing the beds to bother
their heads about where the girls went. The
ancient house-keeper, who slept at the end
of the hall, awakened by the racket, came
out Just as the hall was cleared, left her
door open, and walked about in her night
gown, hunting for the cause of disturbance.
Two of the supper crowd camo up near her
room, supporting a companion, and seeing
the door ajar, they ran in and put their
friend in the old lady's bed. AS they
came out, the door slammed and fastened
with spring lock. When the housekeeper
returned she found herself locked out.
Then she raised an outcry, which brought
out all the students. Young Arthur and
Mcclellan carried guitars, and began to SER
enade the thinly -attired woman. She thought
they were bringing disgrace upon the maids
ard sounded e-alarm. This aroused ev-
erybody, and the students were captured.
A small boy was put in over the h6tlsekeep-
er's transon:, SO that the students there could
not escape. 1t was o'clock before the girls
were restored to their quarters.

Imported Labor.

From Justice, New York;
The following Associated Press dis
patch is to be found in the New York
city morning papers for Feb. 81, 1888:
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 81.
The Vulcan Iron and Steel Mills in this
CITY, in which Jay Gould is largely inter-
Gated, has resumed work with full conf
plement of imported non-union men. They
were not molested.
This telegram should be highly sug-
gestive to the mind of the laborinS
man. No matter what virtues he may
be able to discover in the principles
and theories of highly protective
tariff, here at least is one point that
needs reforming. The idea that the
manufacturer shall be protected from
all importations and at the same time
make importations himself that mill
tate against and actually crush out the
laborers, for whose interest, in part at
least, these protective laws were Great
ed, is too bold an imposition upon hu-
man credulity, or, as the poet says, it
is too great a strain upon the blankets
of veracity.
It may be confidently stated that
there is no system of protection or free
trade that is absolutely perfect, and no
matter how firm believer one may be
in either of these theories of govern
ment, this dispatch foreshadows an
evil that every laboring man should
do his best to find means for prevent
ing.
If Jay Gould's iron is to be protect
ed from importations, then let the men

RecOllectIOns.
BY n. NJ. LUDLOW.

AS age advances thoughts 60 back to deeds,
beyond control,
But pleasant recollections are the starlights
of the soul;
They come upon life's evening sky, and ill
us with their joy,
They laugh, they dance, and then depart
and leave no base alloy.
The happiness of that bless'd one, whose
soul hath known no taint,
Thought cannot fathom-mind conceive
nor language ever paint.
The years that Whiten up our locks bring
Wisdom in their train,
And he who takes him to his home and bids
him there remain,
Will find he is the truest friend, that longest
life may win;
And hfe's great journey, for the first, will
fifty now begin.

however, 10 have the annoyance abated.
There we're nine letters in all. In one OF
