A good story is told of an old-time
Bostonian whose son is still living
in the enjoyment of hale and hearty
age at the Hub, who went on to New
York at the time the Astor House
was in its golden youth. The old
Bostonian took his son with him.
and fearful that he should be led
away by the tempters of that day in
Gotham, was particular that the
youth should be at the hotel early
in the evening. In his simplicity
the good Bostonian supposed that
early hours were kept at the Astor
House and when 8 o'clock came, and
his son had not returned. he felt
that it was too bad that the hotel
proprietors should be incommoded
on his account. So in the kindness
of his heart. the old Bostonian went
up to the Office desk and said to the
landlord
Tommy hasn't come in vet, but
there's no need of your keeping
open for him. You can shut up
the hotel now r'-Boston Evening

Horace GreeIey's wakeful sleep.

On another occasion | went with
him Horace Greeley to hear a dis
course from Rev. William Henry
Chauning. 1t was Sunday morn
ing, and the topic announced was
one in which he felt a special inter-
est. Mr., Claiming was then,in fact,
ministering to a congregation Of
which Mr.. Greeley was prominent
member. 1t was in a hall on the
west side of Broadway, above Canal
street, where DR.. Dewey had preach
ed aforetime. On the way thither
Mr.. Greeley begged me to keep him
awake. We occupied a settee with
in six feet ofthe platform, and right
under the eye of the preacher. |
tried to keep HIM awake by frequent
tuggings at his elbow and playing
by no means soft tatto upon his
ribs. But it was of no use. He was
mid nodding" through the whole
discourse, not little to Mr.. Chann-
ing's annoyance, who observed my
unsuccessful efforts to keep his great
auditor awake. But now comes the
wonderful part of my story. Mr..
Greeley and /, when the service was
over, went back to the Tribune Office
together. He sat down to his desk
at once, and made an abstract of Mr..
Channing's discourse, filling some
what less than a column, which ap-
peared in the Tribune next morn
ing. Mr.. Claiming was utterly
amazed when he saw it. and after
ward asked me if it was possible Mr..
Greeley had made the report. When
/ told him that l saw him while he
was preparing it, and could certify
that it went to the compositor in his
own handwriting, and that more
over, / had myself read the proof, he
expressed the greatest astonishment.
"Why," said he, | could not myself
have made SO accurate an abstract
of my own discourse, which, though
premeditated, extemporaneous. He
has not only given the substance of
what | said, he has followed my
line of thought, and remembered
not little Of my Language" do
not pretend to offer any explanation
ofthis strange mental rest. But |
am absolutely certain of the facts
as l have related them, and that
what had the appearance of unquali-
fed sleep was in reality condition
in which the mental faculties were
somewhat awake and active.

A German Bedroom.

In the first plac" the threshold is
raised about four inches, so, in en-
tering the room, one is in danger of
getting fall. The floor runs slight
ly down hill, and the furniture con-
sequently seems marching all one
way. There is a big sofa, with table
near it. On the walls are framed
artificial wreaths-memorials Of fu-
nerals of years gone by.
In one corner is stove, but you
would never imagine it to be one,
looking like a great family mOnu-
ment, painted black and as high as
the door. The easement window
opens directly on to the beds; for
there are always two beds in room
for two persons. They are narrow,
and have three or four mattresses
each, which raise them to a frown-
ing height. The pillows are inn
mense, two for each bed, and there
is also a triangular sort of bolster,
which forces the occupant to sleep
at an angle of As degrees.
On the top of the bed is the
grandest institution Of the country
the "Plumo," dear to the German
heart-a feather bed, in a red or
blue bag! So. when one sleeps, his
extremities are in a torrid zone of
feathers, his heart and lungs in q
temperate zone of blankets, and his
head in the arctic circle of draughts
from the window.
During the night the sleeper be-
comes aware that something is the
matter. He wakes in terror. and
finds the "Plumo" is gone. 1t gen.
orally falls off about five times be.
fore daylight. The getting up to re-
arrange the thing is pleasant di-
version, even in the cool autumn
nights, and in the winter must be
quite exhilarating.

Colonel Ingersoll says he would
have given Moses better command
ments than those the great Hebrew
received on Mount Sinai. Well.
now, it isn't too late to sail in and
beat Moses's record as a lawgiver.
The Colonel can make his entry now
and start in any time he wants to.
He has told US SD often what he
would have done if he had been
there, people are beginning to feel q
little curious to see what he can do
now that he is here. This is good
place and good time to start. A
man of Moses ability as q leader
and q soldier and a lawgiver could
not fail to make a marked impress
sion on the world, even in these busy
DAYS Of gallop and gulp. Any ofus
could hare done great deal better
than Moses at the palace of Pharaoh
at the Red Sea, at Mount Sinai, at
Meribah, in all the wilderness-in
our minds; but we weren't there,
and now all that we can do is to
beat the record now. And with all
our superior advantages that ought
TO be a very simple thing, and we
would all be greatly pleased to see
Col. Ingersoll do it. He says he
would have done it over 1900 years
ago, and he must be better equipped
by this time. Moses has done his
best and gone off the track. Every
thing is clear for the other contest

especially during the fist hour.
There is great necessity for thorough
skimming, and To help the scum

salt and pepper; allow ore quart OF
soup to three or tour persons. For

lseouent hostility of Mr.. Dana to
Grant be could, and it is to be hop
ed that he will, some day, give us a
camp view of the General at Vicks-
burg and other places.
Mr.. Dana's estimate of Mr.. Lin
coin is not what Mr.. Greeley's was
along the second summer of the war,
after Dana had left the Tribune. 1t
is well remembered in what language
Mr.. Greeley expressed his opinion
of the head of the nation late one
night when some particularly bad
news had been received at the 1rt-
ILune Office. Mr.. Greeley sometimes
got angry and was very forcible, if
not wholly just, in his criticism OF
men. The late Mr.. England, of the
San, and myself, were the only ones
who listened to Mr. Greeley's reply
to my question What is the mat
ter, Mr.. Greeley ?" We discussed it
going home, at three O'Clock in the
morning, and it SO impressed me
that l wrote it down on reaching my
home in Brooklyn. 1t was extraor-
dinary, to say the least
Mr.. Dana's article has not only re-
vived mems recollections OF Mr.. Lin
coin, but set them to talking-most
entertainingly-and some to writing,
SO that it is probable that we will
hear a good deal that is new and
old about that extraordinary man.
LINCOLN AND THE sPIRITUALIsTs.
"Did you know" said a gentle
man connected with Congress at
the time, that Lincoln was some
thing of Spiritualist-at least took
an interest in that sort of thing
when he was in the White House p?
You didn't know it? Well, he did.
How much of believer he was l
don't know, but / have met him
when it was being tried. About the
bluest days of the war l attended a
gathering of Spiritualists, and of
some that were not, in Georgetown.
Among other notables present was
Senator Howard. The spirits rap
ped out a number of communica-
tions about soldiers and the war.
Among others was one that the SOL
diers were getting homesick and
that the idea was growing that they
we're not held in sufficient remem.
brance, but overlooked, and that Mr..
Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln should go
down to Fredericksburg, mingle
with the men, cheer them up and
spend a number of days in this oc-
cupation. IN tell Lincoln of that,
said Howard, and on the meeting
breaking up the Senator made for
the White House. II was late, but
Mr.. Lincoln was up. Howard rela-
ted what the spirits had communi-
Gated. Mr.. Lincoln listened with
great interest. We'll, Howard,
said he, when the Senator had con.
cluded, whether it's from spirits or
not it's good sense, and I'll CO. In
a few days Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
went to Fredericksburg and remain
ed about there a number of days.
The records of the time say the ef-
feet was excellent
Mr.. Dana could write about Mr.
Stanton as few men can. If mis- la
bors on the Sun will let him do it
he ought to give us chapter about
the GREAT War Secretary.
