Wendell Phillips, speaking of Sojourner
Truth, said: "Her Meg Merriles figure
added much to the effect of her speech.
Her natural wit and happiness in retort
have hardly ever seen equaled. Her elo-
quence was at times marvellous. l once
heard her describe the captain of slave
ship going up to judgment followed by his
victims as they gathered from the depth of
the sea in strain that reminded me of
Clarence's dream In Shakespeare and equaled
it. The anecdotes of her ready wit and
quick, striking replies are numberless. She
used to say to us: You read books; God
Himself talks to me.''
General Daniel E. Sickles is an inveterate
opera-goer, and his form is known to all the
habitues of the Academy of Music in New
York. This is not because he is an impor
tant parsonage, either socially OF politically,
but rather from the manner of his entrance.
The general has only one leg and is obliged
to walk on crutches. After the house is
comfortably seated, says a correspondent,
and the opera is going smoothly along, just
as the prima donna reaches her most ford
passage, or the tenor touches his high G,
you hear dull thud down the main aisle of
the Opera House, and, looking around, you
see rather fne-looking man on crutches
swinging himself into his seat. You natu-
rally ask "Who is that?" and soon get your
answer that it is General Sickles.
Sir Charles Murray, who has lately been
in Washington, was there fifty years ago as
secretary of legation, when Washington was
struggling and one-horse town, and when
he was able to hunt over the adjacent terri
tory of Maryland and Virginia. He travelled
good deal, visited every State, spent a
year with the Pawnee Indians and picked
up their language, went to England and
held the Prince of Wales when that func-
tionary was christened, afterward was a
diplomat in Egypt and Persia, and then,
after fifty years, at the age of eighty has
again been in Washington, which he finds a
good deal changed. He had many good
stories to tell about the card parties of
Jackson, Calhoun, Webster and Clay, and
possibly might have told some not entirely
good.
At West Point, once, eteneraf sherman,
accompanied by the commandment of cadets.
was making an inspection tour of the bar
racks. he wasn't looking for contraband
goods, but while in one of the rooms he got
talking about his cadet days, and "When
was Cadet he said to the comm andant.
I'VE hid things in the chimEeys during the
summer months. | wonder if the boys do
SO still" 1t was then in June.) So saying,
he stepped to the fireplace and reached up
the chimney Rattliug down at his touch
came board followed by frying pan,
bottle (empty) and suit of citizens clothes.
The faces of the cadets who occupied the
room were study. But the general only
laughed, and turning to the commandment
said, This is an exceptional case, colonel

There was curious disturbance at fu-
neral in New Haven the other day, conse-
quent upon the presence of delegation
from the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of
which the deceased was a Der, with
gloves on. The delegation had taken their
seats and the services were about to begin,
when the Catholic priest in charge spied
the gloves on their hands, and forthwith
announced that there would be no funeral
until the gloves came off. Furthermore the
gloves must not be taken off inside the
church, but the delegation must march out,
unglove out of doors, and then march
back again. The delegation marched ont,
but refused to march in again. Finally,
just as the corpse was being borne from the
church, the priest relented, and sent word
to the delegation that they could come in
with their gloves on. The delegation START
ed back, but were very much disguised TO
find the funeral was over. What the
priests objection to gloves was does not
clearly appear.

The attempt of the Democrats to seal
Manning of Mississippi, besides being un-
just, was exceedingly foolish. An excellent
opportunity was afforded them in this case
to make a show of virtue without mourning
any sacrifice. Manning's vote could not
possibly be needed, for the Democrats have
seventy majority without him, which is
large enough for all contingencies There
was no temptation therefore to steal q seat
to exc out slender majority. Neither was
Mr.. Manning importunate. On the contrary
he had SO little desire to make a fight that
he did not send in his certificate to the
clerk and he has virtually admitted in his
sworn testimony in the matter that
Chalmers was elected. The only de-
feet in Chalmers title arose from the fact
that on certain number of ballots his
name was misspelled; but it was admitted
by his opponent that these ballots were in
tended for him, SO that Manning's case was
entirely devoid of merit.
