II is related of the late Judge Black that,
in 1857, Just after he was appointed attorney
general, at the Astor House in New York,
scores of leading politicians called upon
him. One day a small gray-haired man ar
rived at the hotel, and registered himself as
Judge j. Williams Iowa. On seeing the
name of Judge Black on the book he took a
card and wrote The supreme judge of
Iowa presents his compliments to the attor-
ney general of the United States" He sent
this up to Judge Blacks room, together with
half sheet of paper on which he had writ
ten:
o Jerry, dear Jerry I've found you at last
And memory. burdened with scenes Of the past.
Returns to old Somersets mountains OF snow,
When you were but Jerry and was but Joe.
In less than three minutes the great. dig
nified Judge Black was coming down the
stairs two steps at time. with a little bell
boy in close pursuit Two old sehoolmates
and law students were together after sepa-
ration of some thirty years.

Military Schemes Rumored.

been started lately about re-establishing the
rank Of General of the Army, making Lieu
tenant General Sheridan General, aud Major
General Hancock Lieutenant. General. As
the case usually is, the news mongers have
got the cart before the horse. The only
thing Of the kind Is scheme which origi.
mated with certain southern members, with
whom General Hancock is hero, to make
Hancock General Of the Army. A part Of
this design IL to make General Sheridan take
. back seat. Southern men claim that Han
cock, like Mcclellan, made civilized war on
them, while Sheridan-the man who PROM
ised that be would Iavage the Valley of vir.

on practical aud not sentimental grounds,
think there should be . General Of the
