fed. They were usually talking very
earnestly together, and there was moth
ing of an jovial nature between them.
They were simply prominent senators
discussing public affairs in confiden-
tial manner. Senator Edmunds was a
large man with full gray beard and d
perfectly bald head.
There was another public man who
often called upon Senator Conkling.
He came over from New York frequent
ly, and whenever / showed his card un-
der the door Senator Corkling instant
ly responded and told me to bring the
gentleman up to his room. 1t was Ches-
ter A. Arthur, and he was collector Of
customs at New York. l remem-
ber his name very well, because he sell
dom had any engraved cards with him,
but always leaned on the hotel counter
and wrote his own cards. He was aft
erwards vice president, and when Pres
ident Garfield died he became president
of the United States.
whenever MIR. Arthur went upstairs,
Senator Conkling would be waiting for
him at the door, give him cordial well
come, and shut the door. Mr.. Arthur
used to stay there sometimes until long
after midnight. One morning, at
about two o'clock, he came down from
Senator Conkling's room, and asked
for room for himself, but the hotel
was full and he had to go elsewhere to
get bed. He was very cross about
il; but it was his own fault. He had
not registered nor asked for room.
1 guess if they had supposed he would
ever be president of the United States,
the proprietor would have gladly given
up his own room." SMITH d. Fry.

A Faulty Impression Corrected.

when L was boy, before the war;"
said man of mature years, Il used to
read occasionally in the newspapers
an item, dispatch from some western
town, running something like this:
Private So-and-so, of such-and-such a
regiment, who has just arrived from
Fort S0-and-so, says that at the time he
left the fort'-and then it went on to
tell the news that Private So-and-so
had brought in.
ut may sound queer, but used to
have an idea that u private was a man
who had taken up soldering because he
wanted to, perhaps because he liked the
excitement, who was not an officer, to
be sure, but not common soldier. and
who was in some degree at least the
master of his own actions and free to
come and go as he pleased.
"But when the war broke out, wish
ing my country well, 1 enlisted. And
then, pacing a lonely beat at night with
a gun over my shoulder, my impression
was soon corrected. Y. Sun.

This is a brand-new Lincoln story,
and true, like all of this series. Presi-
dent Lincoln reached Meade Station,
near Petersburg, soon after serious
battle in which about 1000 confederates
were made prisoners. Gen. Meade was
on the presidents left and Col. George
ID. Ruggles on his right. On their way
to headquarters they rode to point
where they could see the large assem-
blage of prisoners. With the prisoners
were many colored servants and labor
ers. "Mr. Lincoln" said Gen. Meade,

the number of men captured" Mr..
Lincoln checked his horse, deliberately
surveyed the field full of Gordon's dis
armed men and the coatrabands, and
said: "Yes, general, the number is there

Plqued at Receiving NO Letters, Hc Cap
tured Eleven Prisoners.
William A. Nash, private of Com
pany l, Fiftyseventh regiment In
diana volunteers, who is now a
resident of this city, was the hero of the
hour at the battle of Mission Ridge, in
November, 1863. He tells the following
story and has abundant proof for what
he says:
"'Twas Wednesday, November 25,
1868, the day before Thanksgiving,
while the enemy was being sorely
pushed by our boys, that the first mail
for six weeks arrived. Every man in my
company, excepting myself, received
from one to six letters. To say that l
was somewhat piqued over my seeming
non-popularity would be drawing it
mildly. l was actually sore with all
mankind, and cared little whether l
lived through the engagement or not.
told my captain that my folks had all
gone back on me, and that L was going
into the fight to win without regard to
what became of me. He cautioned ME
not to act rashly, and not to go further
than did my company. When the charge
was ordered l rushed on and on, and
finally, when the order was given to fall
back, 1 found myself 200 yards in ad-
vance of my company and on the very
verge of the enemy's works. Looking
down into the ditch they had made l
perceived number of confederates in
it with unloaded guns. Mine was
loaded, and l ordered several of them,
who were almost under my feet, to drop
their weapons and crawl out of there in
double-quick time.
'They took me at my word and scram-
bled up the bank. marched them back
to my command, where we were re-
ceived with all honor, for had captured
