 In the spring of 1891 the managing edi- tor of the newspaper with which I was then connected sent me to Richmond, Ky, to interview Cash Clay on the new con stitution of the states. I got to Rich mond about midnight, and after breakfast next morning mounted on horseback and headed for White Hall. the old fellows April 30, and the pastures on either side of the turnpike the richest my eyes ever beheld. There were many herds of short horns up to their knees in blue grass, and thousand birds were singing in the branches of the trees.

of struggles in downing Thurlow Weed Stewards manager. and bringing about the nomination of Lincoln Of all the men then and there present the two poorest politicians were Cash Clay and Horace Greeley, though both were op- posed to Seward, and Greeley was for Edward Bates, who was not even a Re- publican. but Southern old Whig and opposed to slavery 'H9'
 If Seward had been nominated there would have been no war He would have let the south go and in 10 years the south would have been back in the union If Lincoln's matchless practical political tac- tics-and not very scruplous tactics, either-had not kept in the union the bor- der states, except Virginia there would have been no war. But there is a divinity that shapes our ends. rough-hew them as we will. Had the war come in 1850, as it very nearly did, or at any earlier date, the south would have triumphed The hand of fate was in 1t. By 1861 the north S superiority in population and wealth had made the defeat of the south inevitable, doubly so with the blockade of the south ern ports and all Europe for recruiting camp. s*
 Lincoln could manage men, He had the dearest head of his day, and he early discovered that he could not carry the war to successful conclusion unless he got rid of Cash Clay, whom he had com missoned major general. Influences were soon set on foot and old Cash was made to believe that the north would be

At that time the mountains of the states mentioned cared not a rap about slavery, and they never heard of the Chicago re- publican national convention of 1860. The anti-savery contingent of Kentucky was made up~of the blue-blood of the state grass, the Athens of the west. The ';open clause" of the Kentucky constitution of 1850 got no support from the mountains. But even the Breckenridges, Marshalls, Hnrlands, Underwoods and Tomkinses who voted for the 'open clause" had nothing but hostility and malevolence to deal out to the republican party in 1860. Indeed, the Lincoln ticket got less than 12O0 votes in the entire state that year, and but few more in 1864.
 And Cash Clay, a mountaineer. He was of the very cream of the bluegrass, and an aristocrat from crown to heel. He was bundle of combativeness and that made him an abolitionist. He had a perfect contempt for the maudlin anti slavery agitator.

Tt must have been hard to die so young and so much to live for, whispered a voice near me as l stood looking upon the incarna;e majesty of Death. But it was not. Beautiful she was; wealth was laid at her feet; she dwelt in house of splen- the material luxuries that riches could procure. But 1t was easy to leave it all. She died of heart-hunger She would have gladly parted with 1t all, wealth, luxury, everything, for a little tender- ness and a few expressions of love. Amid the pansies there shone on her finger the wedding ring. It was pathetic to see it. He who placed 1t there entered the room He stood at my side. He could not find words in his unusually extensive vocabu- lary of sufficient strength and tender ness to moan forth the beauty of he- character and the excellence of her un- sullied virtues.

Again in the sa1le paper I read of the activities of the Wofnen's Municipal league of New York After much in- vestigation these ladies gathered in hundreds at the city hall to convince the city fathers that they must have an ordinance to prevent the overcrowding of afsies and passaeeWays in public halls and vaudeville theatres. Months of work was the weapon with which that overcrowding evil was attacked, and the women were confident of victory May that same bird perch on their banner.

 Yet another, and still more rigorous experiment in altruism: The Murray Hill society women are In league with 'the municipal bureau of licenses, to improve the dance halls which are patrorfzed by working girls and their escorts in that section of Manhattan. Of these dance halls there are 25, and the present pur- pose of the women is to keep a vigilapt eye upon them, not at distance, but by personal visitation. Young society matrons. so attired and accompanied as to avoid suspicion, are playing the de- tective, to see whether the law is being violated by sale of drink or otherwise
