4 Story Of Justice Field.

Gne afternoon last summer gay
company was gathered at tue subur-
ban palace of a San Francisco money
magnate. A shaggy old man strik-
ingly like Tennyson, was the cen
trail figure on the broad veranda. In
charming manner peculiar to him
he related to the yonng people
around HIM the early experiences of a
law apprentice in the far west. The
contrast between the princcly sur
roundings, the broad avenues and
the stately park which he surveyed
and the cabins and dug-outs where
the scenes of his narrative were laid
gave additional romance to the story
of his life. As lad he arrived in
San Francisco with les than 81. Part
of this amount he invested in shin
gle, on which was lettered "Stephen
j. field, Attorney at Law" Clients
began to come. Within a few months
his capital hal multiplied 10000
fold. Political prominence was
quick to follow. a seat on the SUI
preme bench of the United States
was given him without solicitation on
his part. The news of his appoint
ment and confirmation came simulta-
neously and as complete surprise.
Justice Field says he was early cured
of personal pride. A fine, curly head
of hair and an erect carriage were
his two pet vanities. The latter
brought him grief, for one day,
while sky-gazing, he ran against
low cart which bruised his knee.
causing lasting injury. Slight per-
manent lameness ensued and con.
sequent stoop In the shoulders. Too
close application to his books was
followed by brain fever. A fly
blister was used successfully in erad-
icating both the fever and his waving
locks. The presidential bee has at
blmes buzZed furiously IN his ears.

heard an amusing story q day or
tw" ago about the Grant boys, when
they were children at GaIcna. The
family lived IA a plain. two-story
brick house on High street, which
since the general first began to
achieve greatness has been an object
of interest to tourists and strangers
visiting this city. Their nearest and
most intimate neighbors were the
family of A. NJ. Haines. The
Haines and the Grant children were
fast friends during the residence Of
the latter on High street. The beys
of each family had a game rooster.
and were wont to pit the fowls
against each other whenever favora-
BILE opportunity presented itself.
The Grant rooster was named Seen
eral Grant," and was a very gamey
bird, usually coming out first best in
the contests. The Haines fowl was
christened "Jeff Davis" not, how
ever, from any love the young ow-
ners entertained for its traitorous
namesake.
On one occasion the two birds
were set to fighting, and in the
battle the Haines fowl whipped
General Grant badly, and drove
him from the field. The contests
between these two chiefs Of the roost
took place when Grant and Pembcr-
ton were pitting against each other at
Vicksburg, and when Il began 70
look as though the former would have
to give up the idea Of capturing the
city. News was brought to Mrs.
Grant almost hourly from the seat Of
war, and that lady, as matter OF
course, was very anxious about the
result, although she knew that sooner
or later ''Ulyses" wonld get there.
A messenger had just left the house,
after handing Mrs. Grant somewhat
discouraging dispatch, when in rush
ed her boys, Fred and Buck, shout
ing Indignantly, tMother General
has been licked! General Grant has
been lickedi" 81 guess not, my
said the mother coolly,
who at first grayely imagined that
some later intelligence than that she
had received had come from the
front eyes, he has, said Fred in
y; "Jeff Davis licked him
just now, behind Mr. Haines' barn,
and if that bird don't go into the pot
it will be because I can't catch It to
wiring its neck" General Grant,
it is related, suffered an ignoininioue
death that night, and next day fur
nished meal for the family.-Gale-

Frank James Talks.

Mail
After reading the newspaper re
port Mr.. James SAID:
81 do not believe that Gov. Crit
tenden ever contemplated the assas
sination of Jesse"
'With y our consent Mr.. James,
said the reporter, ''- would like tc
publish your opinion of the mat.
ter"
Frank james avoided newspaper
notoriety and it was with some re.
luctance that he agreed to a publica.
ton.
Usually" he replied, ''I am
averse to talking for the press, but
in this mater, 1t may be, in meas
ure duty. / have not the most
remote idea that Mr.. Crittenden
ever suggested to the Ford boys the
plan of assassination. lam satisfied
that when he talked with them about
the capture Of Jesse, dead or alive,
that he meant it might be necessary
for them to kill him when they at
tempted his arrest. We must re-
member that Mr.. Crittcnden was
the governor of the state; there was
great clamor about the crimes Of
the James boys, and he felt it his
duty TO make the most strenuous
efforts to comply with the public de-
mand for their extirpation. The
Ford boys exceeded the limit of their
instructions and did that which Mr..
Crittenden never contemplated.
There were hundreds of men who
were ready to take our lives for the
sake Of reward which was offered,
and when Jesse was killed those were
the men who cried the loudest against
the murder. For the base crime uf
the Ford boys do not believe that
Mr.. Crittenden should lie held re-
sponsIble. His course after the as
sassinaton was open to criticism, but
it is we'll remembered that there are
but few men who approximate per-
fection.''
In addition to the above Com.
Craig, who was present and heard
the talk between Ford and Gov.
Crittenden, says: 1.-THE charge that
Gov. Crittenden made any bargain
with Ford believe Is absolutely
false and that any one else bargained
for the killing is equally so." Strange
with this array of testimony that
President Cleveland should permit
opinions against Crittenden in the
east to have such an influence over
him. What had the people in the
east to do with it any way?

What A Glass OF Wine Did.

1t is said that a glass Of win
changed the history Of France for q
quarter of a century. Louis Philippi,
King of France, had son, Duke Of
Orleans, and heir to the throne, who
never drank only a certain number
of glasses of wine because even one
more made him intoxicated. The
day he left Paris to JOIN his regiment
he breakfasted with his friends, and
forgot to count the number of glass
es, and took one more than usual.
As he entered his carriage he stum-
bled, frightening the horses, and
causing them to run. The Duke,
with steady head, might have leap
ed from his carriage safely, but in
the attempt his head struck the pave
ment, and he soon died. The glass
of wine overthrw the Orleans rule,
confscated their property of e20,-
O0O, 900, and sent the whole family
into exile.
