Apropos Of the whole business poll
tclan Of note thirty years ago tells an
amusing story, He came from Iompkins
county The Incident occurred when Mrs.
stanton herself wore low necked dresses,
70 the admiration Of ell who knew her. IL
was in 1857, when her husband had gone
from Boston 10 live at Seneca
Fails. She was then thirty-one years old
and had as handsome "a bust,
shoulders aud arms as could be found
west of the Hudson river. Since her let
ter 20 Miss Cleveland, some OF her lady
friends take a malicious pleasure In eX-
hib1iug old daguerreotypes, in which the
great dress mugwumpess is pictured In
the fashionable costume of the period,
with the dress cut several inches below
the shoulders, exposing an exuberant
bust and showing most lovely white arms.
For many years Mr.. Stanton collected
small engsavings OF the neads OF famous
Europeans and Americans. they were
framed and arranged In groups on the
walls OF his house, from basement to
attic Statesmen, warriors, scientists,
llyines, historians, poets, dramatists snd
other eminent men were put In congenial
alp AZ NQffanla
Pitt, Fox, Canning, peele, and states
men OF similar stamp. In another group
were cugrayings OF Madison, Clinton,
Clay, Webster and Tom Corwin. Near it
were the portraits OF Jackson, Tom Ben
ton, Silas Wright and others.
In the campaign Of 1854 or thereaOouts,
William IL. Seward went TO Seneca Falls
TO address a political meeting As usual,
he enjoyed the hospitality of Judge Garry
Sackctt. The Judge proposed visit TO
Mrs stanton, aud after dinner they drove
over 20 her residence. MIR. Stewards at.
tention was soon attracted by the groups
OF heads on the walls. The variety was
hewildering, but he studied each face
carefully Nowhere, however could he
discover his own picture Mrs Stanton
was at his side, arrayed In an exquisite,
low necked dress Turning TO her with
stately courtesy, the senator said, "Oh,
