TIE FIRST HANSON CAB.

It's First Customers Were Brokers, Who
Caused 1t to Become Popular.
The first hanson cab in America had
an interesting history. A reminiscent.
voluble, red faced cabby told it late the
other night up by the Thirty third street
stand. 1t was brought over in 1870 or
1871 by John Patent of the Pacific hotel,
in Greenwich street, just above Cort-
landt, and it cost $40. It's driver was old
John Carter of Liverpool, since do
ceased, who came to New York in 1861.
The original cab that John Garter drove
was a handsome one, made very much
like those now in use, but it had a claret
body and red running gear. An interest,"
ing feature of it was that it was boil
stored with pair of patent axles, which
were SO complicated that Carter was the
only man who could grease them.
For some reason the cab was not put
into running Immediately after it was
imported, but was laid up in the stable
for u years. Then John Carter ran it
from the Pacific hotel, but there was
not business enough there, and he went
down to the corner of Broad street and
Exchange place, where trade hourished,
and he used to get fares from the big
brokers. Morosini was said to have been
a good customer Of his, and Jay Gould,
If reports are accurate. rode in it once
or twice. 1t was familiar feature
about the Stock Exchange for four years.
and then it broke down, ending the ca
reer of the first hanson cab in America.

All went merry until the wine list

JOHNSON WAS DRUNK.
Condition of Lncoin's Vice President ae
the Inauguration.


Condition of Lneoin's Vice Presidents at
the Inauguration.
Noah Brooks tells the following story
in his personal "reminiscences of Lincoln
in the Century:
"All eyes We're turned to the main
entrance, where, precisely on the stroke
of twelve, appeared Andrew Johnson,
vice president elect, arm in arm with
Hannibal Hamlin, whose term of office
was now expiring. They took seats to-
gether on the dais of the presiding off,
Ger, and Hamlin made brief and sens
ible speech, and Andrew Johnson,
whose face was extraordinarily red,
was presented to take the oath. 1t is
needless to say here that the unfortu-
nate gentleman, who had been very i'll,
was not altogether sober at this inn
portant moment Of his life. In order
to strengthen himself for the physical
and mental ordeal through which he
was about to pass he had taken stiff
drink of whisky in the room of the vice
president, and the warmth of the SEN
ate chamber, with possibly other phys
ical conditions, had sent the fiery liquor
to his brain. He was evidently intoxi,
Gated.
As he went on with his speech he
turned upon the cabinet officers and
| addressed them as "Mr. Stanton"
''Mr. Seward" etc, without the officiIi
handles to their names. Forgetting
Mr.. Welles' name, he said, "and you,
Mr.. -" Then leaning over to Col.
| Forney, he said: "What is the name Of
the secretary of the navy?" and then
continued as though nothing had hap,
pened. Once in awhile, from the re-
porters' gallery, l could observe Ham
lin nudging johnson from behind, re-
minding him that the hour for the in
auguration ceremony had passed. The
speaker kept on, although President
Lincoln sat before him, patiently watt
ing for his extraordinary harangue to
be over.
The study of the faces below was in-
teresting. Seward was as bland and
serene as summer day; Stanton
appeared to be petrifed; Welles' face
was usually void of any expression;
Speed sat with his eyes closed; Denni-
son was red and white by turns. Among
the union senators Henry Wilson's face
was flushed; Sumner wore a saturnine
and sarcastic smile, and most of the
others turned and twisted in their sem
atorial chairs as if in long drawn agony
Of the supreme bench, Judge Nelson
only was apparently moved, his lower
jaw being dropped clean down in blank
horror Chase was marble, adamant,
granite in inmobility until johnson
turned his back upon the senate to
take the oath, when he exchanged
glances with Nelson, who then closed
up his mouth.
When Johnson had repeated inaudi-
bly, the oath of office, his hand upon
the book, he turned and took the Bible
in his hand, and facing the audience
said, with a loud theatrical voice and
gesture: II kiss this book in the face of
my nation of the United States"

THE FLOW OF TREASURE.
Influence of Increased WeGlth on Intel
iectuailty.

Influence Of Increased WeGlth on Intel
ieetuailty.
In 1882 Columbus discovered America.
and, as the stream of treasure slowly
flowed into Europe, new life dawned.
1t was the opening of modern times.
For the first fifty years, says the Fort
nightly Review, the influx of the
precious metals was not enormous. but
Potosi was opened in 1545, and then the
aood of silver reached its height. and
the power Of the stimulant was felt,
Silver sunlS in its real value, or
would exchange for smaller quantity
Of labor than before; and corn rose in
its nominal price, and instead of being
commonly sold for about two ounces of
silver the quarter came to be
sold for six and eight"
Yet though there was this great rise
in commodities, the relative values of
the precious metals remained HEaltered
during the whole of the sixteenth CEN
tury, and in 1000 the ratio of gold to
silver was twelve to one, precisely
where it had been two hundred years
before.
Nothing is more curious and inter-
esting than to watch the impulse given
to intellectual activity as the tide of
money ran from south to north. In
1913 Raphael and Michael Angelo We're
in their prime; in 1919 Luther denied
the papal supremacy; in 1909 Calvin
was born at Noyon, while Shakespeare
did not see the light till 1864. Science
came little later, for Calico was not
eminent much before 1888, and Kepler
only took his masters degree in 1891.
Adam Smith says that the new silver
''does not seem to have had any very
sensible effect upon the prices of things
in England till after 1870" But within
twenty-five years from then Shakes
peare was writing his plays, Bacon was
in parliament, and Drake had become
the greatest seaman of the world In
1900 the merchants of London founded
the East India company, the first step
toward England's commercial suprema.

KILLED BY THEIR ARMoR.

Russian Soldiers.

Russian Soldiers.
One of the interesting features of the
late ezar's funeral was, as usual, the
two men clad in medieval armor, one
on horseback and the other ON foot.
The mounted knight had his visor
open and his armor was of FURNISHED
gold, which glittered in the sun. He
symbolized life.
The other was ON foot; his armor was
coal-black steel; his visor was closed,
and in his hand he bore drawn two
handed sword, the blade of which was
shrouded in Grape He symbolized
death.
The weight of those two suits of
armor is so great that, Notwithstanding
the most gigantic men of the imperial
guard being selected to don them, the
one one foot who otiieiated at the OBJ
sequies of Emperor Nicholas l. fell
dead from exhaustion on reaching the
church of IS. Peter and Paul, where
the imperial mausoleum is situated;
while at the funeral of Alexander IL.
the black knight tainted during the
march from the winter palace to the
place of interment and was carried to
the hospital, where he died the same
night.
A similar fate overlook the black
knight at the recent czar's funeral. 1t
was observed that he could scarcely
drag himself along during the latter
part of the procession through the cap
ital, and on reaching the fortress he
sank unconscious to the ground and
has since died.

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive TO
Longevity.

Mental Exercise Is Said to BE Conducive TO
Longevity.
AS factor in longevity the London
Speaker calls attention to the fact that
those people who have been accustomed
to the continued disciplinary use Of
their brains daily and who have placed
their nerve power under highly-de-
veloped constitutional training are en-
abled by these very means to escape
the so-called early decay and to avoid
those alarming accidents to health
from which SO many apparently healthy
men succlimb People who use their
brains and observe ordinary hygienic
care of their bodies resist Diseases in
the first place; and when they are
actually i'll they prolong their lives or
recuperate sooner than do those who
have lived less intellectual lives. Thus
there is given new force to the asser-
tion that you may kill a man with
anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult
to kill him with work
Whether the brain can actually give
power TO the muscles IS not certain,
though the enormous strength sone-
times developed in last rally looks
very much like it. That it can material
ly affect vitality is quite certain, and
has been acknowledged by the expert
enced in all ages.
