Henry c. Robinson's Proud Memory
of the Time When Charles DICK
ems Spoke to Him In Hart
ford, Conn.

The late Henry c. Robinson of Hart
ford Conn. one of the leaders of the
New England bar, Republican candi-
date for governor Of Connecticut In
1879, and prominently identined for
years with the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad as counsel and
director. was accustomed to say In the
latter part of his life that the two In
cidents of his career of which he was
especially proud were these-he had
been a member of the famous class
of 1853 at Yale, of which Andrew D.
White. afterwards president OF Cor
nell university and minister to Ger
many. was valedictorian. and he was
one of the very few boys in the United
States to whom Charles Dickens spoke
on his first visit to America.
'I am sure that at no other time
during that visit did Dickens speak 10
any American boy as he spoke to me,
Mr.. Robinson told me. What he SAID
was not much, but 1t was Charles Dick
ems who said it, and he said 1t to me.
and that was enough.
'T was between eleven and twelve
years of age when Dickens came 10
Hartford in 1S42. He had been spend
ing a day or two in Springfield, Mass,
and he insisted upon making the trip
from Springfield to Hartford by the
little steamboat which at that time
piled between the two cities upon the
Connecticut river. He told his friends
that he wanted to see the Connecticut,
for IL was one of the American rivers
of which he had heard much.
I'VE knew in Hartford the hour at
which Dickens would arrive. and there
was a great throng at the steamboat
landing waiting to see him. l was not
able to be there. for / was at school

ample 40 Instance Of the south's
Former Haphazard Manner OF
Developing Railways.

In the latter part of March OF the
year 1888 1 spent a week or ten days
in Charleston. South Carolina. On the
second day after my arrival there was
seated at my hotel dining room table
a stranger, a new arrival, OF about mid
die height and of powerful build, with
an unusual depth Of chest. The per-
feet balance and poise Of his massive
head upon his shoulders was especial
iy noticeable. The outline of the head
was round, rather than long. His face
was broad; his mouth revealed great
firmness, although there was In his
smile a suggestion of genueness and
kindliness. His eyes, which we're dark
blue, were set far apart. and the
breadth of his forehead indicated
great intellectual power. His hair
was not plentiful. although he was not
bald, and in his early manhood he
must have been of sandy complexion.
He seemed to be a man OF sixty-five
years of age.
Have you come from the north?
he asked; and when I replied that
had, he asked me II came by the
coast line.
/ saw that he was familiar with
railroad matters. and disposed to talk
of them, 80, ventured to ask him how
It happened that a city the size OF
Charleston, and a seaport at that, had
no central railway station. The main
station was then some two miles out
side the city, and passengers were
conveyed back and forth by means OF
shuttle train.

one explanation of why the Confed-
eraoy did not succeed" was the re-
ply. Then. noting. apparently that l
was wondering how a shuttle railroad
two miles long could have had any
thing to do with the failure Of the
Confederacy, he continued, and his
manner was that of a modest, kindly
gentleman:
DO you know of any important city
of the north, especially any seaport,
that would have been content even In
early railroad days with railroad COM
munication that required the use OF
shuttle train? This little shuttle line
personifies the haphazard manner In
which industry and railway develop
ment in the south In the days pe1ore
the war were universally carried on, a
circumstance that is easily explained
by the fact that the south was then
almost exclusively an agricultural
region. So it came about, when the
war brokr out, that the Confederacy
found itself with nothing more than
makeshift means Of communication at
it's command. There was not one rail-
road in the entire south that was
worthy of the name when compared
with the railroads of the north, and
judged by the standards OF today the
northern roads of war times were
poor, as a whole. Yet If there had
been a railroad Of northern standard
running between Richmond and
Lynchburg. for example, Lee could

Hill's High Idea of Ethics

Hill not only regarded this clause OF
the income tax as unconstitutional.
because the constitution provides that
an income tax must be levied accord
ing to the census, but, in addition, he
felt that were a tax OF that kind lev
led and collected, the tendency would
be seriously to threaten the equality
of the states in their representation In
their federal senate. Senator Hill
therefore prepared a speech which
has now gone upon record as one OF
the ablest of all the speeches deliv'
cred in the senate since the time OF
the Civil war. In this matter he stood
almost alone among his Democratic
associates, and the senate passed the
Wilson bill, much amended. but with
the original income tax clause un-
changed. This was the tariff bill
which President Cleveland refused to
sign, characterizing it as a bill oil
perfidy and dishonor.
After the bill had become law. 1t
was determined to make a speedy test
of the consututionality of the income
tax clause, and when those who had
united to forward this important 1u-
dicial proceeding consulted as to
who, among the lawyers OF the United
States, could make the ablest argu-
ment before the Supreme court, all
we're of the opinion that Senator Hill
was the man. The senator was there
fore approached and asked, pracuc-
ally In these words, whether he would
accept retainer to argue the case;
Senator, we have unanimously
agreed that you, better than any other
lawyer of whom we have knowledge
would make a convincing argument
before the Supreme court. We nave
therefore decided to ask you to ac-
cept a retainer simply to make that
argument, and we are prepared TO or
fer you a retainer of $4,000"
For some moments the senator was
silent He seemel to be considering
the proposition from all sides. AT
last he said:
"I should greatly like to make the
argument before the Supreme court
would be willing to make 1t with
out a retainer; l regard the subject
as of vital consequence. But 1t does
not seem to me as though 1t would
square with my view OF the ethics OF
senatorial service If I were to accept
YOUR retainer. I made my appeal as
a senator to my colleagues In the
senate. l spoke with earnestness and
in all sincerity. A majority OF the
senate, however. disagreed with me-
Now. II l, having been defeated In the
senate, were to make an argument
before the Supreme court upon this
issue. It would seem as though. having
been defeated in the senate. l at once
resorted to the Supreme court. NO.
do not think that would be 1usuneo
in accepting this retainer. although l
say again that I should greatly ike
to make the argument"
After this refusal the party sought
other counsel, who argued the case
before the Supreme court. and won It
And when the opinion was read 1t was
discovered that 1t practically adopted
the line of argument made by Hill IN
the federal senate.

there. l knew him instantly from the

street, not noticing me at first. He
looked at me steadily for 1 do not

him steadily in return. I remember
that l thought: This is the man who
told me about Sam Weller. who was
one of the great favorites OF my boy
hood days.

me! He certainly looked me through

"At last Dickens spoke, and the
words have been treasured in my
memory ever since. This is what he
said, and I heard him distinctly. al
though he spoke through the window:

he waved his hand gently, smiled upon
me, and with that benediction l de-
parted.
II did not see him again until 1857,
when he made his second visit to
America. He had changed greatly in
physical appearance, excepting that
his eyes retained that brilliant blue
tint, the bluest eyes I ever saw"

Why He Would Not Present Case
Against the Income Tax Clause
of the Wilson Bill to Su-
preme Court.

Now that David Bennett Hill, three
times governor of and one term
United States senator from ne"
York, has passed away. 1t Is possible
to narrate several incidents connected
with his career that have both MS
toric Importance and dramatic inter
est. They have remained uncnron-
icled hitherto because of Governor
Hills policy of complete silence IN
all things political relating to himself,
a policy that one of the staunchest
friends he ever had-Judge Alton d
Parker-declared recently causeo
much unnecessary criticism to De
heaped upon its author.
In 1894 the house of representatives
passed the tariff bill now historically
known as the Wilson bill. 1t con-
tanned a clause providing for the levy
ing of an income tax without doing
that in accordance with the census;
that is to say, in proportion to the
population of each state. Senator

Perhaps It should be added that the

a quarter OF a century from 1858 until
his death in 1884, was Of the greatest

And during the entire period OF Mr..
CARROTS presidency he was without

The Log Drag

The following rules for drag
ging a road have been formulated
and adopted in several states and
found advantageous.
Haul the drag over the road at
any angle SO that little earth is
pushed to the centre of the road.
Drive the team slowly along one
side of the road, returning on the
other side, and let the driver ride
on the drag.
Drag the road as soon after rain
as possible, but not when the mud
sticks to the drag.
Do not drng a dry road. Drag
at. all seasons of the year.
If the ground freezes just after
dragging, the road bed will be IN
smooth condition.
The best results are obtained by
repeated dragging. ), / i

No one is permitted to deposit more
than $100 in one month in a postal saw
ings bank, or to have balance of more
than $500, exclusive of accumulated IN
terest, which is allowed at the rate of 2
per cent. An interest of 2t-2 per cent
may be obtained by the depositor by u.s.

account a bond may be purchased by
the depositor through the postmaster.
By depositing 500 a month, and devot-
ing portion OF it to the purchase OF
bonds, the depositor could in reality
place $1,000 year with the government
for safe keeping. At the eE6 of the year
he would have $500 IL bank and 500 in
bonds.
To encourage saving by children, the
bank will receive 10 cents in cash, for
which it will give the depositor a ca. a
