A BOOM OF WOE.

tAir, Listen to Ny Tale Of Woe."I
A Cleveland boom in Chicago grew,
Listen to my tale of woe;
All cut and dried and stuck with glue,
And radiant with q mugwump hue,
It grew, It grew; listen to my tale Of woe.
It swelled like toad in the morning dew,
Listen to my tale Of woe;
And made the Hill men feel SO blue
That they put the convention in a stew,
And the Tammany tiger in a fury flew,
TITS true, tits true, listen to my tale Of woe.
The Tammany tiger and Tammany crew,
Listen to my tale OF woe.
Seized on that boom SO big and new,
They ripped and knitted 1t through and
through,
Too true, too true, listen to my tale OF woe.
And then the trouble began to brew,
Listen to my tale OF woe.
A trouble they could never subdue.
Though every mugwump worked like Jew,
To save that boom so nice and new.
Too true, too true, listen to my tale of woe.
Twas all in vain that they could do,
Listen to my tale of woe;
For soon the people tried and true
just buried that boom from human view,
Boo hoo, boo hoo, listen to my tale OF woe.
And so we bid It . sad adieu,
Listen to my tale of woe;
Collapsed and gone without q clue,
And that was the end of Grover, too,
A sad tale for me and you,
Boo hoo, boo hoo, listen to my tale Of woe.

applause greeted the scene and then the
sound of kissing steam rushing from holes
in the fence is added to the confusion until
enthusiasm and hot water are both ex-
hausted.

CHAPTER I.


At the age Of % was sn art student at
Paris I had been fattered into misoon-
ception of my talents. Step BY step was
dragged through the dull routine of craft
for which I was but meagerly endowed.
But youthful enthusiasm buoyed me up
until the final collapse Of my ambition in
1857. had invited the famous critic, Trou-
vile, to my rooms he camel glanced at
several of my sketches and finished paint
ings-charactsr bits, glimpses Of landscape
and still.life; then, turning to me, said saw
agely, "Open the doorf"
"Adieuf' was the only further word he
youchsafed me as he descended the stairs.
was too stupefed to act at oncej but early
the next day sent him billet demanding
an explanation of his conduct. The answer
was laconic and characteristically merciless.
"I cannot think of recommending any Of
your pictures to the salon; but I will will
ingiy give you q letter of introduction to
my friend F., who employs great many
house painters
I challenged him. We fought, he choos-
ing rapiers; and I gave him scratch on the
arm. My honor was retrieved; but alas, my
ambition had received its death blow. After
that concerned myself little with affairs of
art. True, retained my old quarters and
fraternized with my former friends; but, in
stead of spending my leisure hours In star
ing at dusty old masters, frequented the
play, the circus and the rendezvous of
political and military celebrities, mingling
in the gay whirl Of metropolitan life.
One sultry summer day, 1858, A. d. (sf-
ter dinner), I was seated in the chess cafe
of NJ Foure, then . resort Of great repute,
but long since swept away by the high tide
of reconstruction which Baron Haussman
let loose upon the venerable landmarks of
old Paris My vis-a-vis was a snarp-fea-
tured, beardless man on the somber side of
30, polished in manner and dress, who
looked like one of those retired tradesmen,
then so plentiful, whose argosies had re-
turned freighted with fortune through the
heayy seas of war aud political unrest This
was nv friend, Robert Houdin, beyond a
doubt the most talented and successful mir
acle monger that ever stood upon stage.
His manner of playing chess was very
peculiar His eyes were seldom upon the
board, nearly always fixed upon those of
his adversary-tactics which disconnected
me greatly until I circumvented him by
looking steadily at the board, not glancing
upward till the partie was at an end.

slightly ve1ed, however; 'there Is but one

embarrassment at once. But my curiosity
had been aroused.

its debts to the soldiers and those who fur-

with contempt by the secessionists, and
many Unionists came to doubt its power to
compel.
For many days and nights the situation
had been q most anxious one for General
Fremont; with unfulflled acquisitions in
Washington, commanders of troops de-
mancing reinforcements where there were
none to give, troops clamoring for their pay
when there was no money, and those who
furnished supplies suddenly advancing the
price as soon as the Government was no
longer doing business on q cash basis and
they could take advantase Of her necessities
as poor debtor. He determined to force
the rebel sympathizers who did not join the
rebel armies as soldiers to remain at home,
and to make them feel that there was
penalty for rebellion, and for aiding those
who were in rebellion.
Reading the Emancipation Proclamation.
On the morning of August 80, shortly after
daybreak, Mrs. Fremont found General Fre-

THE CREDIT PLAN

Has been abused by some
houses and by some custom
ers. TIE trouble is not with
the plan but with the people.
Our mode of conducting it
is a great convenience to
thousands. We do not ask
extortionate prices because
we lease goods on time pay
ments, the small extra
amount charged being only
sufficient to cover the inter-
est on money SO invested.
Cash buyers can do as well
here as at any store in town,
in many cases better.

A tall, raw-boned man, military In mien,
dress and gait, had just entered. Glanoin9

shook Houdin's hand; then, seeing the still
undisturbed position, he added, 81 see that
I have not extinguished entirely in you the

tones, he introduced me, adding: sT have
no doubt that Monsieur Smith, who IL an
American, will prove to be an opponents
worthier of you than have ever been"
The sinewy giant gripped my hand and
shook 1t In q way which afforded great
amusement to Houdin.. who, addressing ths
stranger continued: "Pardon me, Monsieur
Allemand, and tell him your name your
self; you know that my tongue has not the
agility of my fingers"
The German smiled 'Helmuth Won

another wrench, almost sending Houdin
into convulsions. Then, passing back Of

during his visit with the Crown Prince to

tellect had speedily won for him recogni-
tion and even q certain degree of celebrity.
IT had the pleasure of meeting one Of
your eountrYmen at chess the day before
yesterday, and the satisfaction Of showing
him his N master."
This was the first remark Moltke ad-
dressed to me; 1t created an unfavorable i'm
preston; it savored too much of egotism.
Without waiting for a reply, he went on:
"His name Is doubtless familiar to you
1t was Paul Morphy" Then he began to
scan the chessboard which had been left
just as the game had been relinquished by
Hondin.. ''Did you play the white?" he
asked of me.
Ireplied in the affirmative.
"RemarkableP he muttered; 'T must
show it to Andersen. Then, drawing
forth small brochure, he penciled upon
the fv-leaf memorandum of the position.
Returning the book to his pocket he said:
'If you are prepared, I will engage you
now" and, taking my readiness for granted,
he swept the board with mis- hand and upset
ali the pieces.
eff you have beaten Paul Morphy," ex-
claimed, "you will hardly wish to waste
time playing with me-" But he was busy
putting the pieces into array, and paid no
heed to my words. Having arranged the
men, he exchanged seats with Houdin and
turned coin to decide the move. It fell to
me.
The game began. Several spectators
gathered about, some of whom probably
knew Moltke; but no comments were nader

| ward Davis, of Philadelphia, who arrived as
she came. 1t was sufficiently light to see
plainly. and the General said: "I want YOU
| two, but no Others" Then, in the dawn of
the new day, he read the emancipation order
that first gave freedom to the slaves of
rebels, and which he had thought out and
written in the hours taken from his brief
resting time.
This order, or rather proclamation, placed
| the State of Missouri under martial law,
and it so remained until the end Of the war.
The clause In this proclamation that 80
threatened the success of the Rebellion was
the following:
The property, real and personal of all per-
sons in tho State of Missouri who shall take
up arms against the United States, or who
shall be directly proven to have taken an
active part with their enemies in the field,
10 declared to be confsoated TO the public
use, and their slaves, If any they have, are
hereby declared free men.
There are some curious accounts extant as
to the actions of various high officials when
this proclamation reached Washington.
Certain it is that the official telegram had
hardly reached the President when one of
his Cabinet received the news through pri-
vate sources and hastened to present his
adverse views Be that as it may, this was
Lincoln's answer:

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 2, 1851
Major General Fremont.
MY DEAR SIR-Two points in your procla-
nation of August 80 give me some anxiety
Ftrst-Shonld you shoot a man, according
to the proclamation the Confederates would
very certainly shoot our best men in their
hands in retaliation, and so, man for man,
indefinitely. 1t is, therefore, my order that
you allow no man to be shot under the
proclamation without first having my ap-
probation and consent.
Second-1 think there is great danger that
the closing paragraph, in relation to the
confiscation of property and the liberattng
slaves Of traitorous owners, will alarm our
Southern friends and turn them against us;
perhaps ruin our rather fair prospect for
Kentucky.
Allow me, therefore, to ask that you will,
as OF your own motion, modify that para
graph so as to conform to the first and
fourth sections of the act OF Congress enti-
tied can act to confscate property used for
insurrectionary purposes approved August
6. 1851" and copy OF which act herewith
send you.
This letter is written in a spirit Of caution
and not of censure. send it by special
messenger In order that it may certainly
and speedily reach you.
Yours very truly,
