Stories of Governor Seymour.

The Utica Observer says: Though
possessed of a grave turn of mind, the
late Gov. Horatio Seymour had at
times o keen sense Of humor, and said
many droll things. His allusion to
Grant at the meeting of the Army of
the Cumberland, in Utica, when he
declared that he was O better soldier
than his old antagonist, because in
1868 he (Grant) had run farther and
faster, was incomparably happy.
Some years ago an incident occurred
which at once illustrated Seymour's
goodness of heart and his sense of the
numerous. Driving along the Deer
field road oneday he came upon farm
er in distress. The latter's wagon
had broken down under heavy pile
of wood, his harness was out of keller
and his position was one of abject
misery. He had in vain appealed to
passers-by to help him. But Sey-
mour was friend in need. He help
ed the farmer to repair his wagon and
reload the wood thereupon and loaned
the farmer part of his own harness.
The Governor then went his way.
Afterwards, when the farmer was tell
ing his story, he startled his hearers
by saying II never felt SO mean
in my life. The wood was stolen
from the Governor wood pile. The
Joke of it all was that during the
whole transaction Governor Seymour
knew that the wood was his own, but
after giving his side of tie story, with
a merry twinkle in his eye, he was
wont to add: "The poor fellow need-
ed the wood more than [ did, It is
unnecessary to say that Governor Sey-
mour's wood-pile was never again dis
turbed by that particular neighbor.

A Pretty Wand erbilt Story

| In Fourth avenue horse car going
up town one day plainly dressed wo-
man was riding, accompanied by q
bright-eyed child just old enough to be
asking good mahy questions. The
pert young miss of 3 or years was in-
tent on being on familiar terms with
everybody within reach, and one Of the
passengers within reach was Mr.. Van.
derbilt. He had small package in his
hands, ana the child insisted Oh ..reliey-
ing him Of it. The mother though
tity, did her utmost to protect him
from the young mischief. makers dep
relations, but her efforts were futile.
And Mr.. Vanderbilt, rs the car rolled
or, seemed really to have got to enjoy
ing the wee bit of things filtration.
She went through his 'oYercoat pocke is,
clambered over his knees, and couldn't
have been a whit more familiar had she
been of the house of Vanderbilt itself.
At the Thirty. y.second street stables
there was change Of conductors, and
Il bearded young fellow came upon the
rear platform, rang the signal bell, and
started the car onward through the
tunnel.
"Papa, papa !" shouted the little one
excitedly and off from the knee of the
millionaire owner of the railroad she
clambered to hold out her arms toward
that bearded young fellow, the new con-
ductor. The conductor recognized his
distinguished passenger. and naturally
he was amazed-his own child in the
magnate's arms. He hastened to cor
rect things, and, with what was not an
unnatural earnestness, apologized for
the baby's rudeness.
Tut, tut ~ interrupted Mr.. Wander
bilt "I've enjoyed my ride with her.
Young man, wish she were my own.
She must be taken good care Of" And
then, as the car turned out of the tun-
mel to the Grand Central Station, he
patted the little one affectiouately upon
the head, and said good-by. Within a
month that street-car conductor was
holding responsible position upon one
of the big Vanderbilt railroads, post
that he holds to this day. That very
night Mr.. Vanderbilt had the young
mans antecedents looked up, and find
ing his record clean. and assured that
he was a man OF energy and capacity
he made place for him at once.

Why Gen. Hancock Died Poor

A New York letter says: Surprise
is expressed that Gen. Hancock did
not leave larger estate behind him,
but he was generous to fault, and he
had many calls upon his charity. 1t
was the heavy cross of his life that
his twin brother, for thirty years re-
sdent of distant Western city, had
disappointed his expectations, lost his
ambition an6 sunk into living death
His brother was lawyer, one of the
most brilliant in the Northwest, clear
ing from SIS, 200 to 10000 year by
his practice when he fell victim to
his love for good company and good
cheer. He went down from his high
position like rocket, and for the last
fifteen years has been entirely sup
ported by his brother, the General.
There is a touching little bit of ro-
nance connected with this sad story.
The lawyer was in his prime, a mag
nifcent-looking man, and became en-
gagged to the beautiful daughter of a
lady in whose house he boarded.
The engagement began twenty years
ago. But the lady saw danger a.
head, and she refused to marry her ar
dent and handsome wooer until he
would for-swear the flowing bowl and
show himself a thoroughly reformed
man. He still lives in the same house
and the lady is there, too, and still
unwedded. She is true to her love,
but is equally true to her promise, and
while she tenderly cares for the man
she loves ana mourns, she knows that
her life is wrecked, and that there is
no hope now on this side of the grave.
The world is full of such unnoticed
heroines

A recent traveller in Spain tells how
the Children in Germany play at bull
lighting. One boy, holding pair of
wooden horns on his head, represents
tie bull. Other boys, mounted on
each others backs, were picadors, while
others again, with their jackets in their
hands, were supposed to be maradors
and chulos. The bull would stamp his
feet and roar, then make rush at one
of the chulos, whose jacket was Thrown
up by the wooden horns, but whose
body was never touched. Then the
bull would charge one of the picadors,
whereupon the boy playing horse would
throw himself to the ground, and allow
himself to be properly gored.
