AT WASHINGTON HOTELS.

At the ripe age of 72 Gen. Willard Warner of Chattanooga, Tenn, who was seen yesterday at the Ebbitt, has undiminished mental faculties, enjoys good health, takes life with imperturb- able good humor, and can relate as many interesting "reminiscences as any man in the country.
 He is Q native Ohio man and was colonel of Buckeye regiment in the federal army and brevet brigadier general. In 1860 he was a delegate to the republican national convention from the Columbus district, and voted to nominate MT. Lincoln for president. In 1865 Gen. Warner moved to Ala bama to engage in cotton planting, and subsequently, became Tinted States senator from that state. For several years past he has lived in Tennessee
 ''These times remind me- said the general to a Post reporter, "of the stirring scenes that were taking place in Washington just thirty-seven years ago. In this month, in the year 1861, I came to the capital, and one of the first men I called on was Secretary Chase. He took me to dine with him at his hotel, and during the evening we talked over the threatened rupture between the north and south. The black clouds of war were then gather ing thick. Among other things Gov. Chase said: I think it would be bet ter for us to let the eight cotton states go off by themselves in peace. Sooner or later they will be asking to get back into the Union. To try to main tain slavery down there in one sec tion of the country will result in fail ure, but let the slave states try it. They will tire of it by and by and thus the matter will work out itself
 At that time I did not know MT. Lincoln very well, and I asked the secretary to tell me what kind of man he was. His answer I shall never for get: MT. Lincoln. is the cunningest man in the world; his cunning, in fact, is so great that it amounts to genius
 When I was in the United States senate,'' said MT. Warner, 'I had visits from colored constituents now and then who wanted to borrow money. Sometimes they got it and sometimes they didn't. After my term was over, I imagined I'd be let alone by those fellows, but they kept after me just the same. One day at the capitol Senegambian brother called me off, the necessity of his immediate pres ence in Mobile, and begged the loan of $50, which he'd be sure to return when he got there.
 "'Now look here,' said I, why don't you let me alone? Don't you know I'm out of politics? I've paid all my debts to my supporters. Go see Sena- tor Spencer, and give me a rest; Pm only a private citizen now

If Eugene Ysaye is allowed to have

since become famous, and who, but for
Eugene Ysaye, might have shared the
fate Of Bizet.
1T is shame that American COM
posers get SO few opportunities of be-
