Col. Evan p Howell of the Atlanta Con-
stitution has given an interesting chapter
to the history of the Hampton Roads con-
ference between President Lincoln and
Alexander H. Stephens. vice president of
the confederacy, regarding the closing of
hostilities MIR. Stephens was the guest of
Mr.. Howell in 1882, and after dinner, when
questioned regarding the conference, said;
Il was always in favor of settling the war
and preventing further bloodshed. and
when the conference was suggested by Mr..
Blair and others I took a very active part
in pushing it. There very bitter op-

Much to my regret these commissioners
were given specific instructions, which pre-
vented them negotiating for peace on any
other basis than that which guaranteed
the independence and autonomy of the
confederate states.
He thus described his conversation with
Mr.. Lincoln: He said to me with great
earnestness: I believe you and 1 can set
tie this matter. I know you and you know
me. l have confidence in your integrity
and believe you have in mine. 1 do not
think you would ask me to do anything
improper and I would not require your

81 then told him what our Instructions
were from President Davis, and when I
did a cloud came over his face, his chin
dropped to his breast, and for several
minutes he did not say a word. After a
pause he raised out of his seat and said
to me, with hands uplifted: Then, am
not responsible for any further bloodshed.
I had hoped the war would end with this
conference, but 1t Is impossible to make

That's a good story that the Bookman
tells at the expense of il. c. Bunner.
Laurence Hutton and Frank Stockton,
who lately entered Delmonico's for a
lunch. Finding two young men at the only
table for four available, they asked them
to exchange and take one Of the smaller
tables, which they readily did. From some
overheard conversation it appeared that
the two young men were Harvard under
graduates, and as he went out Mr. Bum
ner, in the goodness of his heart, felt NOV
ed to tell the young men whom they had
had the privilege of obliging. It would be
an experience in their life history. some
thing to tell their grandchildren about in
after years. So he introduced himself. and
added: This is Mr.. Bunner, the editor of
Puck; this is Mr.. Laurence Hutton, and
this is Mr. Frank Stockton" A faint smile
came over the faces of the young men.
Then one of them slapped the poet on the
back. MY dear fellow he said. 80 glad
to know you all. And it gives me great
pleasure to make myself known to you.

my friend, Fuerst Bismarck"
