Summers First Meeting With
Greeley,

The following amusing account o.
Charles Summers first meeting with
Greeley, never before published, is Civ
On in the current number of Every 9th
err Saturday:
Charles Sumner, many years before
he was known in politics, sought the ac-
q~uaintance of Horace Greeley in New
York. He found the journalist much
engaged and was invited by him to
coae to his house the next morning and
take breakfast. MI. Sumner was not
an early riser, and he liked 2 good
breakfast when he did get up. He
rather anticipated one in this case. At
the early hour named by Mr.. Greeley.
he left the Astor House, took a stage
and rode several miles no Broadway,
and after much difficulty found the resi-
dence of his new friend at an old flash
Toned farmhouse, situated In the midtle
Of an orchard between Broadway and
the river, where he was hosptt-
ably received by the occi.
pant. After considerable con-
versation with Mr.. Greeley, the latter re-
marked TO his wife, who had come into
Vic EOOuI, kLldl MT. GUNNER WOulQ DTOD-
ably like something to eat, She ex-
pressed O doubt whether there was any
hing in the house, at which Sumner,
who was really hungry after his long
ride, was somewhat-well, surprised, to
say the least. "W#hy, mother" said
Greeley to his wife, ''you must have
some milk, some bread and milk in the
house" She thought that it might be
so, and soon appeared with q mug. tN-9
bowls and some crackers, which she
placed or a bare pine table, and the two
incipient philanthropists ate their break
fast In peace. Anybody who knew
Sumner and his dainty ways in those
things can appreciate the situation. No
doubt it was the first and last time
he ever did justice to bread and milk.
The friend to whom Sumner
related this incident had q
feeling, which time rather strengthen
ed, that the older philosopher was
practising a grim joke on the gay and
somewhat festive young man from Bos-
ton. Sumner, however, never could
appreciate a joke. and considered the
transaction q real one so far as good
faith was concerned, although he re-
lated it with considerable glee. Per-
haps he bad IN his heart something of

Washington Special: The chanpion
novelty OF the age in the line OF Office hold
ing is John NJ. Irwin of Iowa, who was an
pointed governor OF Iiaho territory in
March last. Whea bis first quarters
pay was sent him he returned it with
his compliments to the treasury. The &C
counting officers having no other method OF
disposing OF it turned it over to the con-
science fund. Mr.. Irwin in a letter 10 the first
controller, objects very positively to this. He
says ne returned the money because he
only desired the office of governor for the
honor OF the position, and cares nothing
sbout the ~emoluments. He desired that
an honorable fund be created and that
the money which he returned be deposited
TO its credit, and says that as soon as the
balance OF his salary is RENTED to him he
will return it for credit to the fund. AS
this is the FIRST instance of this character in
the history OF the eovernme t, and as there
Is not much probability of a second case,
the secretary has not decided to establish
the honorary" fund. Perhaps be will re-
fer the question to the ATTORNEY general,
whose p powerful aud asiuse mind is SO well
calculated to grapple with ahstruse points.
In the mean time, ii any OF the dime mu.
seums can make an engagement with Gov

only a. out one-seventeenth OF the actual
work of digging the Panama Canal had
been accomplished, at an expenditure OF
about one-sixth of the estimated cost OF
the whole. The money has been spent on
plans and machinery. At the present rate
the cost of the Panama Canal will be
about S120, 900. 900. and will be complet-
ed within five years. The work is now
progressing at the rate of 10000 cubic
metres per month Mr.. Gorringe thinks
the French people cannot afford to lose
the $40. 100000 already invested, and
that '.no French Government could exist

moment to eytend financial aid to com

any age. and that man Frenchman. "
Mr.. Gorringc himself, is somewhat of an
enthusiast, though we have no doubt thai
his facts are correct.
