But Justice Field, on Whom 1t Was
Told, Failed TO See the Fun i'm 1t.
For all his ice and chilly Quietudes
President Harrison owned a sense of
humor, and would now and then get
hold of a joke and treasure 1t as 4
schoolboy might an apple, having it
frequently out of his pocket to ex-
hibit and admire One such, says a
writer in the, Saturday Evening Post,
is story he was ever quick to tell
on the austere Justice Field, who
didn't like 1t.
Complaining letters of all sorts come
to a President. One day Western
marshal grew querG!ous because an
item in his accounts, by which the
government was charged with a car.
riage furnished Field from his hotel
to the court, had been disallOwed. The
marshafs grief was made the sharper
since his fellow-marshal of an adjOin.
ing State had. likewise furnished a
carriage for Field when he held court
within his district, and the charge
had been allowed and paid.
Commonly little attention Is given
to these cries Of the wronged beyond
what is. required to shunt them upon
proper" of1cial-usually the one
against whom complaint is lodged
But in this instance Harrison asked
his secretary to discover the truth Of
the trouble. Why was one charge al
lowed and the other refused?
The secretary took a look into the
riddle and learned that the fortunate
one had been sagacious enough to in
clude the carriage for Field in his item
of expense For care and transporta
ton Of prisoners" In that way i
was allowed. 1t used to give Harri
son much pleasure to relate this yarn
Field, however, saw nothing funny il

There are 11,914 cubic yards Of ma
sonry in the bridge, and its entire cost
was $254, 600.
Some Historic treasures.
Captain. later General, Meigs was
very proud Of this engineering feat,
and always jealousy regarded the
work DIS being entirely his own. The
erasures on one of the tablets Of the
bridge bear witness to his wrath when,
on returning from Tortugas, he dis
covered that Capt. Henry w. Benham
and Lieut.. ]. st. @. Morton, who had
charge Of the work during his absence,
had 0aused their names TO be inscribed
on the bridge as chief engineers of con-
struction. In addition to removing
these names Capt. Meigs was success
full in having Capt. Benham ordered to
duty at Tortugas.
1t had been Capt. Meigs' intention,
however, to have inscribed beneath his
own the name of Mr.. Rives, and the
letters had already been traced in red
chalk or paint when he received the
news Of Mr.. Rives' resignation and en-
listment in the Confederate army. "No
rebels name shall appear on NY
bridge" said Capt. Meigs. The stone
cutters orders were countermanded,
the red letters disappeared. and in
their place were cut the words, "8sto
Perpetua," which Capt. Meigs intend,
ed should express the hope that the
bridge would outlast the memory OF
the youth who had deserted it.
Mr.. Rives, now nearly 70 years of
age, resides at castle HILL" his fine
old estate, near Charlottesville, Va. He
was superintendent of construction of
the Panama Railroad and is still prom
inently connected with the Richmond
and Danville Railroad. He has three
beautiful daughters, one of whom Is
known in literary circles as Amelie
R1ves and in society as the Princess
Troubetzkoi.
Another and still mere widely known
erasure was attributed, until recent
years. to Gen. Meigs. This was the
obliteration. in June, 1862, of the name
of Jefferson Davis from the largest
, tablet of the bridge. The tablet was
originally inscribed as follows:
. I
; WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT, 4

: United States.
