GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Stories of Chase and johnson

Vi ShGaSC dIA0
Writing in the September Century ex-
Secretary Hugh McCulloch says:
Nothing is so captivating and vet so
dangerous to our public men as the
vhlsperings of the siren exciting as
pirations for the presidency, which
are never realized and which never
die. In a conversation which | had
with Mr.. Chase in 1868 he remarked
that there was only one office which he
heartily desired-the office of chief JUS
tice OF the supreme court. l dined with
him a couple of weeks after the coveted
honor had been conferred upon him, and
| was panied by discovering that he
was far from being satisfied. AS
justice of the supreme court he had no
favors to grant, no patronage to WELD,
High as the position was. it was not the
one to which he had really aSpired. To
him it seemed like retirement from pub
lie life. There was another thing that
was undoubtedly weighing upon him,
although he did not suggest it. He had
not been ia the active practice of the
law for twenty years, nor had
he been able during that period
to devote any time to legal studies. As
an active politician, the leader of the
anti-slavery party in Ohio, as governor,
United States senator and secretary of
the treasury, he had been otherwise
fully employed; so that when he went
upon the bench he was unfamiliar
with the work he was called upon to
perform. He perceived, therefore, that,
unless he Shrank from proper share of
the duties of the court land that he was
not disposed to dO). he would for time
labor under great disadvantages. He did
have to work much harder in the inves-
tigation of legal questions and in the
preparation Of opinions than either of
his associates. 1t was undoubtedly this
hard work and the disappointment of
his political ambition that shortened his
life.
mo public man in TIM United States
has been so imperfectly understood as
Andrew johnson. None has been so
difficult to understand. He had few
personal friends; in no one did he en-
tirely cOnfide. He had many faults,
but he abOunded also in many admira-
bic qualities. | was not present
when Mr.. Johnson took the oath for vice
president in the senate chamber, bur the
reports of his speech on that occasion
amazed me. 1t was so different from
what had been expected of him-so in
coherent, so rambling, that those who
tOXicated. 1T was not said a senator TO
me next morning, the speech of An
drew Johnson, but the speech of a
drunken man, and such it undoubtedly
was. He had been ill for some days be-
fore he left home, and on his way to
Washington he had taken brandy as an
aStringent. On the day of his inaugu-
ration as vice president he was really
i'll, and was so unwlSe as to resort to
stimulant before he went to the senate
chamber.
Meeting Mr.. Lincoln day or two
after, said to him that the country, in
view of the vice presidents appearance
on the 4th, had deeper stake. than ever
in his life. He hesitated for moment.
and then remarked within usual serious
ness: / know Andy Johnson for many
years; he made a bad slip the other
day, but you need not be scared; Andy
isn't drunkaTd.'"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-GeOrge c..
Gorham, who was for years secretary of
the senate, and who was an intimate
friend of ROsco COnkling, discussed the
political campaign in vigorous language
last night. His remarks were called
forth on his attention being called to a
report that he had declared fOrCleveland

ticket nominated at Chicago. Mr.. Cor
ham proceeded: LAS a StalWart Repub-

under Garfield and in four months
organized the defeat of the following
seven wears solely to slaughter Roscoe

leaders at Chicago, outside the State of
Indiana, have publicly stated that if
elected he will appoint Mr.. Blaine
as secretary of state. To this
there has come no word of de-
NAL. The campaign is being made
as Blaine campaign. not by the ma
tiOnal committee, but without reference
to it. We are told that there is but one
issue, the tariff. Upon that subject Re-
publicans are asked to sustain dOgmas
which are as repugnant TO good sense
as they are TO all previous acts and dec
larationS of the party. A tariff for
trusts, with incidental protection. was
never before made a party test. As to

He never knelt and begged for letters

The Prince,s Visiting Cards.

'Now, Meesha Mikel, here's list of
the houses at which you are to call, and
you must be sure 10 leave one of my
cards at each of them. You'll find the
cards on my study table. Do you hear?'
So spoke Prince C., one of the lead
ers of society in Moscow, to the liveried
servant who bowed before him as he
stepped into his carriage.
1t was New Years day, says writer
in the September Harper'S, time
when, in Russia, as in France, every
one visits his friends. and the Saluta-

the prince was setting out to call in per-
son upon a few of his chosen friends,
while sending his footman to leave
cards upon the fifty or sixty less inti-
mate acquaintance whom he possessed
in the fashionable quarter of the town.
Il hear. your brightness" said the
lackey, bowling again, and his master
drove away.
Two hours later a dashing young
officer of the Imperial guard refined up
his horse beside Prince G-'s carriage
as it passed him, and said, in voice
tremulOus with laughter: ''Oh, YakoY
Andreievitch" Games. son of Andrew,
THAT was a splendid idea of yoursI It'll
be ali over town by tomorrow, Pm sure.
[ haven't had such laugh since don't
know when" And off he went, laugh
ing unrestrainedly.
c. looked after him IN blank be-
wiIderment; but he was still more per-
picked, about half an hour later, when
a stout, bald, red-faced man, in the rich
uniform of government Off ial, came
and said, sternlY:
"YakOv Andreievitch, / don't know
what | have done that you should insult
me in this unwarrantabie way. You
shall hear from me tomorrow" And
he passed on, foaming with rage.
Are they all mad?' muttered the
amazed prince. What on earth can |
have done?"
But the explanation came only too
soon. Just as he reached his own door
again, UP came the footman whom he
had sent around with his visiting cards,
and said, with respectful bow: 'l've
left all the cards, your brightness. ex-
cept the ace Of spades and the queen of
diamonds"
Then the poor prince understood it
