Chauncey NJ. Depew got off peculiar COM
pliment to the press the other day when he ex-
planned the celebrity of the Yale class of 1853
by saying that lone half its members went
into journalism and praised the other half
and yet that only partly solves the problem
II the other half had not given the journalistic
half something to praise, there would have
been no such wonderful growth of fame as has
been witnessed The key to success and celeb
rity, as Mr.. Depew's own career will testify is
first to have something good to offer for the
public service, and then to advertise it for all
il is worth

Somebody is spinning dreadful yarns in con-
nection with the Oregon and Transcontinental
company's affairs. The Ames party publish an
advertisement addressed to the stockholders,
bearing date May II. and soliciting proxies, be-
cause they have ''held during the past year the
largest permanent investment in the stock of
your company;" and side by side with it APP
pears one from the Willard party, dated just
day later, and calling for proxies on the ground
that they have held during the past year much
the largest permanent investment" &c. 1t is
obviously impossible for the one party to have
held ''the largest at the same time that the
other party we're holding much the largest
permanent investment; but the Willard party
go further and claim to represent "a majority
of its (the company's) capital stock" If that is
true, what do they want of anybody's proxies?
Why do they not vote the stock they represent?

LAST YEAR-HIGH PRAISE FROM
GENERAL BRISTOw.

Colonel GoodIOe one Of the most conspicuous
figures at the Republican National Headquarters dur
ing the campaign Of last year. and Senator Quay had
no more trusted associate in the National Executive
Committee. In this capacit.' and chairman Of the
subcommittee having charge Of the campaign speaking
the Colonel came in contact with most Of the prom
nent Republicans throughout the country and none
who made his acquaintance failed recognize his
manly qualities. his unvarying courtesy and his
earnest devotion To the Republican cause To
Colonel Goodloe is credited the origin of the word
spellbinder' which into use last year.
without expressing any opinion as 30 the causes OF
the affray Of Friday, there was universal hope
among the Coloneps friends in the city that he would
survive his injuries and be restored TO health and
usefulness.
General benjamin II. Bristow in conversation with
a Tribune reporter yesterday, said al have just
ceived dispatch from friend of mine In regard to
the condition of Colonel Goodloe and 1t is Of favor
able character. / am heartily glad of it, for have
known Colonel Goodloe a long time, and have high
regard for him. 1t Is most unfortunate feature OF
the encounter that Goodloe had knife in his hand
and that he stabbed Colonel swope 50 many times.
1t suggests the idea of butchery, whereas
every characteristic of Goodloe's nature is
the antithesis Of a butchers. When "a
man is assaulted he has little ume TO reason hs first
and only impulse is in sefdeence and to dis
able his enemy before he can he killed himself. Tie
knife he carried was doubtless the pruning knife Win
which he kept his garden in such splendid condition.
I suppose he carried r. with him most of the time,
for he has in my presence taken out while strolns
about his place 10 cut of twig here and cut down
weed there The number Of times a man uses
weapon In selfdeence should not be used against him.
When he has bullet in his body in part where the
utmost danger may be expected, and when his as
saant Is firing again at him, he is not apt TO stop
TO count the number of blows he strike in self
defence.'
General Brstow continued with considerable feeling:
Colonel Goodloe is man OF high courage and spirit,
bur utterly and naturally opposed 10 violence In any
form. He is a most lovable man and his friends
always felt toward him the affection that with
close klnshp. Even in politics. where bitter spirit
is likely 10 be developed, he won the affection OF
whole soulcd in his style consderate OF others who
might differ from him In host Of ways he IS a man
whom cruelty IS abboirent and who draws b. him
