Fdwin III Stanton's Hate.

Colonel A. X. Mcclure, in his remi-
niscences Of Lincoln and Stanton, says:
1T was Stanton's fierce resentment
that made just verdicts impossible in
some military trials, which will ever be
historic-notably, the unjust verdict
deriving Fitz John Porter at once Of
his commission and citizenship, and the
now admittedly unjust verdict that sent
Mrs. Surratt 10 the gallowS. Lincoln
long heSitated before giving his assent
10 the Judgment against Porter, as is
clearly shown by the fact that, with
Pope'S accusations against Porter fresh
before him, he asSented TO McCleiIan's
request, and assigned Porter TO active
command i'm the ACtietam campaign,
and personally thanked Porter on the
Antietam field after the battle for his
services. Another enduring monument
OF StantOn's resentment is the Airing
ton National Cemetery. The home Of
Lee was taken under tho feeblest color
of law that Stanton well knew could rot
be maintained, aud the buildings sur
rounded with graves even TO the very
door of the venerable mansion, so that
it might never be reclaimed as the home
OF the Confederate chieftain. The
Government made restitution to the
Lees I'm obedience to the decision Of its
highest court, but the monument Of hate
is imperiShable.

Rreakfng an old habit.

''The Growler," who writes "About
Player Folk" in the Chicago Post, says:
That it is not an easy matter to shake
off at once the habits acquired by a
lengthy experience in one particular
kind Of pursuit is the Growers firm
opinion, and at present Comedian Dixey
is passing through this difficult task in
connection with his evolution from bur
leSQue to legitimate light comedy.
On the opening night Of 1.-The Solicit
tor" in New York an amusing instance
occurred illustrating this fact. He was
standing in the wings waiting for the
curtain TO GO up when he stuck ont one
Of his famous graceful legs, and, while
standing on the other, he twlrled the
outStretchcd member into a varieay of
rapid and graceful contortions. Ceas.
ing this he began bobbing up and down
number of times, drawing his legs in
and out after the manner OF grOtesQue
dancers. Mrs. Buchanan watched the
proceedings with unieigned surprise
and exclaimed:
What In the world are you doing?"
"Oh, only limbering up" replied
Dixey.
"Limbering up? What for?" inquired
the handsome actress.
"Why-tO go on-ob, forgot" said
DiXey, when it suddenly dawned upon
him that there was no occasion to
climber up" in his new business. He
has recovered from the habit now.

The survey Of the canyon of the Colo

spite OF the great depths Of the canyon
aud the cliffs OF sandstone, marble and
granite composing it, railway can, in
his opinion, be built through 1t without

of the craudest scenery in the world. In
many places the canyon expands into
wide valleys, and even whore il narrows
there are terraces along the sides like
the "paralleled roads" OF Glen Roy,
Scotland, which seem designed by ma
ture for track and rail. The tribu-

HOW HE WON FAME.
Tom Ochlltree is Not a Self Made Man by
any Means


any Means
There is many q man who has the
reputation of story teller who never
earned it, remarks the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Just now l have in mind Tom
Ochiltree, who was formerly Con-
gresham from Texas. He Is famous
all the world over as a raconteur, but
his fame is but slightly due to his own
efforts. Here is how Ochiltree gained
his fame.
A Washington correspondent OF a
newspaper made a bet with another
man that he could take any member OF
Congress and within year make him
known all over the country. They
looked over the House Of Representa-
tives together, and finally picked out a
new member from Texas who had red
head. Up to that time he had attract
ed no attention in Washington, and he
was, therefore, regarded as fit subject
for the experiment. Then the cores
pendent went to work 10. make his red
headed protege famous. How well he
succeeded is shown by the fame which
Ochiltree now enjoys. The correspond
ent went about his task in this way.
He wrote numerous good stories and
sent them to his papers credited to
Ochiltree He told these stories TO
other newspaper men who also used
them. The stories were bright, and,
therefore, copied all over the country.
Soon everybody had heard of Ochil-
trees stories, and it began to be the
fashion with Washington correspond
ents to credit anonymous stories TO
him.
Ochiltree read the stories and told
them again. He was naturally rather
clever man and knew how to take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity offered. The
result was that ne is now one of the best
known men in the United States, al
though he is not as well Known now as
he used to be, as not as much is printed
about him.

THE SOURCE or THE MISSISSIPPI
The report OF Mr.. WILLARD GLAzIER
to the American Geographical Society
on the objects and results of the expe-
dition Of 1891 to discover the source OF
the Mississippi River is quite as inter
esting to thooe interested in the sub
ject as it is lengthy. 1t is conhrma-
ton of his discovery of 1881 that the
primal source Of the Great River is in a
lake beyond Lake Itasca.
For half a century prior to 1881 Lake
Itasca, in northern Minnesota, was
generally accepted as the true source,
until Mr.. GLAzEB organized an expedi-
ton and discovered that Lake GLAzIER,
a large body with several tributary
lakes and streams, lying to the south OF
Lake Itasca, and connected with the
latter, was the true source.
The truth of his discovery of 1851
being disputed, Mr. GLAzIER last year
made up another expedition composed
Of many persons of high standing and
knowledge, and proceeded to go over
the ground again and to verify his form
er discovery that Lake GLAzIER is the
real source Of the Mississippi.
It is not a matter of vital Importance
TO the welfare Of the country, but we
always like to know these things, you
know, and on that ground the report
and the accompanying maps furnished
the press by Mr.. GLAzIER, which we
have not space to publish this morning,
are interesting.
