KISSED By LAFAYETTE.

A Pleasant Incident Of Old Days Recalled
by Recent Death.
Mrs. Orson M. Taylor, who died re-
Gently in New York at the age of 81
years, was principal in q pleasant in
cident that occurred during the last
visit Of General Lafayette to this coun-
try.
Mrs Taylor was Mary. Ann White,
daughter Of Charles Calvert White, a
merchant in Georgetown, ID. G. She
was years old when she was selected to
present to General Lafayette q bouquet
as q token from the residents Of George
town.
When the barouche in which the mar
quis rode with his son and President
Monroe passed her. little Miss White,
mounted on a step, handed the flowers
to the nations distinguished guest,
whereupon General Lafayette, after ac-
cepting the bouquet, bent over and kiss
ed the child in acknowledgment of the
token.
Mrs. Taylor was the mother Of James
e. Taylor, al artist, who made many
pictures during the war. Mr.. Taylor
early in life visited Georgetown and
sketched the surroundings of his moth
er's home. With these sketches and
from descriptions of the visit of Gener-
al Lafayette given by witnesses he
painted the scene in which his mother
took a prominent part.

A STORY OF VOORHEES,.
The Tall Sycamore and His Ono Legged
hoy In Blue.

The Tall sycamore ana ms One Ae8Reo
boy In Blue.
During the war the late Senator Voor-
hees of Indiana was not an ardent sup
porter Of the Federal programme of hos
tilities, and this fact strongly initiated
against him when the war was over and
he was candidate for reelection to
congress. The cry Of his political oppo-
nents was that he had not been right on
the war question, and combating this
allegation and placating the veteran
element were two Of his hardest tasks
On the stump. About this time occurred
an incident that he often related years
later with a great deal Of enjoyment.
One day when he was speaking in his
own behalf he noticed that his most en-
thusiastic auditor was a one legged man
clad in the familiar army blue. When
ever he made a telling point in his
speech this one legged individual cheer
cd, waved his hands and enthusiastic-
ally pounded ON the floor of the hall
with his crutch. Voorhees, was natural
ly pleased, and pausing in his speech
cordially invited "his friend, the battle
SCARED veteran, 10 nOnOr MIN Dy TAX
ing a seat ON the stage.
The one legged man stumped forward
noisily and took chair beside Voor-
hees, who continued his speech, win
ming, as before, the boisterous plaudits
of his new found admirer.
A few minutes later Voorhees, deftly
worked around to the main issue Of the
campaign and paid his respects to the
people who were criticising his war rec
ord. He warmed to his work with his
celebrated eloquence, and whenever he
paused for breath the one legged man
fairly splintered the stage in his out
bursts Of crutch enthusiasm.
They say" cried Voorhees,, "that !
was not right on the war and that am
not loyal to the veteran, but my friend
in blue here-my friend who left leg
on the field Of battle-knows better than
that. He knows where I stood and
where I stand today, fellow citizens.
By the way, my friend" the Tall Syca-
more continued, Sin what battle did
you lose your leg?"
"Battlel' cried the one legged man.
II didn't lose that leg in q battle. ]
lost it in q sawluill."
