RICHARD w. THOMPSON.
Pen Portrait of a Grand Old Man, the NestOr
of Indiana Republicanism.
Peru Republican.

Peru Republican.
Hon. Richard W. Thompson comes down to us
from former generation, his mind enriched by
association with the great men who were his
contemporaries in public life, and by the knowl-
edge of history and philosophy and political
economy acquired from books He seems Mes
tor among the men with whom he is associated
to-day. He unites with the wisdom and dignity
of age the enthusiasm and vitality of vigorous
young manhood. The tumult of enthusiasm
with which the announcement of his
name was greeted in the convention
is evidence of the hold he has
upon the affections of the people of
Indiana He is not only honored, but loved, by
the members of his party. Being naturally
gifted he has added to his endowments fund
of information second to that possessed by few
men in the country. His long and varied
practice at the bar, on the rostrum, and in leg
islative halls, has given him training in the
art of public speaking so that he stands very
master of oratory His words are chosen APP
parently with purpose Of forming the most
elegant as well as perspicuous sentences and yet
they flow from his lips as easily as water
from a fountain. His dction is per-
feet his style attractive, his man
ner magnetic and withal there is
vigor of thought. a maturity OF wisdom that
charms while it instructs. He was the intimate
personal friend of Abraham Lincoln for nearly
twenty years previous to the war. and main
tanned the relations of cose friendship during
that eventful period when Mr. Lincoln admins
tered the government. He was the associate of
Clay and Webster, and Calhoun, and Benton.
Although his career in Congress closed in 1849 yet
his council has been sought by Presidents and
congressman since his retirement to private life,
and he was called into the Cabinet of one Presi-
dent The State is hOnored by the citizenship
of such man. and the party is favored in secur-
ing his experience and counsel in the delegation
appointed to choose presidential candidate He is
a man above personal antagonism and petty
jealousy that sometimes disturb narrow men.
He has no rivals. He has courage and convic-
tons. His brain has conceived and his hand
has written the platforms on which the Republi-
can party has achieved some of its greatest vic
tories. In all probability his service will be re
qured in the committee on platform in the con
vention of 1884. He never says a foolish or a
weak thing. His words are wisdom and
strength Colonel Thompson is fine old Vir-
gnia gentleman from Culpepper. who has be
come pretty thoroughly westernized by resi-
dence of fifty three years in the Wabash valley
at Terre Haute. He has magnificent physique,
standing six feet, erect as young cadet.

A soldier Who obeyed orders.

Correspondence National Tribune
l wish to relate little incident of the march
of the Twenty second Indiana Infantry to Rome,
ia. 1t was the intention of General jeff. c.

point and orders were given to march as quickly
as possible. The boys however, would persist in

Swapping big fellow of company d, by the name
of Benjamin Kennedy, and as brave a lad as ever
shouldered gun-was caught in the act AS u
punishment his gun was taken away from him
and he was given a big fence-rail to carry in its
stead This, L think, occurred about
nine miles from Rome Well, the next
thing remember is that in the midst of the fight
at Rome, in the afternoon, l saw Kennedy in
the front line of battle still carrying that rail
the colonel in the general excitement, having
forgotten all about it-and heard Gen. Dan.
McCook, riding up to Kennedy demand of him
in tones of thunder what he was doing with that
rail Kennedy explained the matter as well as
he could, whereupon the General told him to
drop the rail and pick upa gun, which he did.
After the battle the General rode over our way,
and seeing Kennedy, pronounced him a soldier
after his own heart. We lost both our colonel
and major in that battle.

Washington Special.
In the midst of the noisiest wrangle on the
naval appropriation bill in the House. Hon
Frederick Douglass, recorder of deeds for the
District of Columbia entered tho ladies' gallery
accompanied by his white wife and another
white lady. Immediately there was a craning
of necks in all parts of the House to see the
newly married couple, this being their first APP
pearance in public since their union. Scores of
opera glasses We're leveled at them in the CALLER
les, and for a time they had larger share of the
attention of members than could be gained by
all the eloquence and wit of General Wolford and
s 5. Cox. Mrs. Douglass bore herself with much
grace and dignity, and was the subject of many
admiring remarks. Mr.. Douglass appeared to
be much amused by the wrangling statesmen,
who were just at that time making pyrotechnical
Stump speeches.

The authors apology for this handsome octave

never before been written in the English language.
Contemporaneous history has been treated as
sparingly as possible, except when bearing di-
rectly on the subject of the sketch However,
the chapter on the attitude of the Emperor
toward Christianity is fuller of details, and
furnishes an entertaining insight to this
most interesting epoch in Christian history.
