INFORMATION THAT PAYS
Ex-Governor Ramsey, of Min
nesota, Blackmailed by
Former Coachman
Twenty Thousand Dollars was
Paid Him for Remaining
Silent
The Knowing Servant Squan-
dered Ten Thousand Dol
lars in a Year

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May GA sensational
story was printed here last night by the
kt Paul Herald, which says that AleXan-
der Ramsey, governor OF Minnesota from
1861 to 1866, United States senator for
twelve years, and secretary Of war under
President Hayes, has been blackmailed
out Of nearly $4,000 by his cOachman.
The Herald's story is as follows: Two
wears since one Wilson Nichols served in
the capacity of family coachman for eX-
Governor Ramsey. One morning after
driving the governor down to his Office IN
the Germania bank, Of which Ramsey
was, at the time, the president, Nichols
made demand upon the governor for
sum Of money. This demand was pooh
poohed by the latter, when Nichols pro-
ceeded to dismount from his seat and
made the declaration that he (the COVER
nor) knew what had passed between them
and had better come to time.
Nichols followed the governor into the
bank and the latter, to avoid scene, told
him to meet him at the office that eve
, ming after business hours. Nichols dld so,
I and found present at the meeting the
> governor, two prominent attorneys anu
was. to quote Nichols statement,
'liyely." but finally ended in sum OF
money, stated TO be $4,000, being pald
Nichols as a price for his silence ana
promise to leave the country. AT TINS
time Nichols was compelled TO sign am
dayits. the contents Of which, he claimed,
were unknown to him, and also to sign a
further agreement, renOunclng all claims
and demands upon his victim IN the
future. Nichols afterwards left st. Paul,
first relating all that took place as de-
tailed above, and also showing the money
received.
After an absence Of something like one
year, he returned, and, having spent Ih'
money received at first, renewed MS ue'

A-Where is Great Jones street,
NJ, Friend o'GaIIssher.
B.Hari

Nv friend Sullivan O'Gallagher was
in business for himself.
The fact that it was peculiar did not
make it less profitable.
Nv friend O'Gallagher was watch
man at the hospital, and the Caty
Fathers paid him good salary for
sleeping and eating and cheating.
He never wronged his friends, for he
had but one-his stomach. He could eat
a safe, warranted indigestible and ms
conscience was lazy and slept, even
when OGallagher was awake and about
his business.
Nv friend OGallagher also supplied
certain institutions with dead bodies
"stiffs7 he called them-for the edihca-
ton of various young men and IN the
interest Of science. OGallagher was

chief and only mourner, 80 he had II, a.
he was wont TO tell me, "All me own

an English Irishman.
One day my friend OGallagher oh

IS, ward G, was in bad way, and th'
chief physician said that No. l6C would
be among the angels or somewhere else
where no respectable member of socaet!

minutes.
Then OGallagher put No. IS G in

THE LAST STRAW.

Want the y}reeches.

II Was Too Much for Him-He Dinn'
Want the Sireeches.
One of the ablest men of a century |
ago in freaks Of the imagination and
general airy establishment OF simple
facts was one Monsieur Jarbo, a Gascon,
for long time a resident in Pans. In
his service was an old valet known as
lean. whose unquestioning faith and
earnest devotion had done more to rem
der permanent the habit OF shooting
with the long bow, which so marked ms
master, than all other causes combined.
This resulted from the latter invariably
calling upon him after getting OIL some
particularly fine effort in the way OF nc
ton. TO clinch it AZ matter within his
personal knowledge. And when the
gray headed old servitor corroborated
with all seriousness the inventive Jaroos
narratives, there were few indeed VINO
didn't at least pretend to believe even
his most wonderful tales.
OF course there were reasons for TINS
compliance of Jeans apart from any
particular tie of sentiment between MIN
self and master. The old fellow had a
weakness for finery and dress. When
ever, therefore, Jarbo had dinner party
for whose establishment, if not edlhca-
ton, he had concocted the narration OF
some startling exploit, he always pre-
coded the event by the present TO Jean
of a new doublet, pair of silk stockings
shoe buckles or other garment. On these
occasions the Wallets presence was al
ways secured by his acting as the chlei
of the table attendants.
One day, when Jarbo expected severa
high government dignitaries, he gaV'
Jean particularly neat pair OF breeches
The very sight Of them made his hear
dance with delight, although he felt tina
such a gift must be the prelude TO
more than usually strong demand upoi
him for dinner story Endorsement.
Nor was he disappointed At tabl
that night Jarbo excelled himself. Neve
had he painted his personal exploits i
such weird colors. Even Jean, hardene
as he was, grew pale at his master
stretching it, and for moment left tn
room. Finally Jarbo turned. with tn
customary words
"And here is old Jean who was wit
me at the time, and will prove it."
But his eyes started from his head an
his jaw dropped as the valet put bund
in his hands.
"Take back the breeches, sir. can
do it. It's too much for even me"
