A REMIMscENCE OF ALEX. Fl. STEPHENS. -Col l.. A. Brandebury, now a clerk in the pension office at WashingtaE tells the following ssOne evening in October, 1865, President Johnson asked me to take small parcel to Alexander H. Stephens, then stopping at Willard's hotel, and who had been released from Fort Warren, Bos- ton harbor. I found the gentleman snr- rounded by many distinguished callers. After the company had left I handed MT. Stephens the envelope. He took it and with nervous hand broke the seal (the envelope was an official one, and bore the line, From the President of the United States on the upper right-hand corner, and his eye caught these words as soon as he received the packet), and after few moments, during which time his counte- nance seemed to say T am permitted to go home, he turned to me and said: I have had many callers, many persons that I was glad to see, but am more glad to see you, my young friend, than all of them Taking a receipt for the papers (orders for his transportation to Crawfords- vile, Ga.) I left him. Seventeen years later I called on him at the National hotel.
 When I said to him that he had ex- pressed so much pleasure at seeing me the last time called that felt encouraged to call again, he replied with puzzled look, that he could not recall my face or my former visit to mind. When handed him his old receipt, given me in 1865, he was not long in saying that, while had outgrown his recollection, he had never forgotten the visit. Leaving a written re- quest for an autograph letter, withdrew, and never saw him afterward." He soon received the autograph with kind note.

bar in the place, and the amount of liquor brought into the village is very small. One or two Irish women procure it, but it is attended with such risk and so much labor that their violations are few and far between.
 X They go to Portland, distance of six miles, and buy jugful of rum. They leave their wagon in the village, and wait till long after nightfall, and make their way across lots to their homes with the contrabrand stuff Their customers drop in one at a time, and take their drinks in the kitchen where it is concealed.
 This is all the rum drinking that is done in such places.
 - TREATING. 4Aet-4yr e-s-4-Asssal
 Of course under such system the bale- ful system of treating, that fruitful source of drinking, is entirely done away with. There are no crowds of men about bar, one to invite the other, no conviviality, none of that hilarity, none of the glamour that is thrown about drinking where it is free and open.
 The men who patronize these women go for the drink alone, and their drinks they take by themselves. In the very na- ture of the case they dare not go in parties. Two dare not enter the house together. To separate to isolate the drinkers is to kill drinking for anybody except those in whom the appetite is too strong to be re- sisted. The dangerous drinking for the sake of hilarity, which afterward makes drinking for the appetite's sake necessary, does not obtain when rum is driven into holes and corners. These present patrons of an unlawful vice are not at the begin ming of their career, They are nearing it's end. When a man will sneak into house and take drink of whisky out of greasy bottle in dirty kitchen, he is very far
