lay, as told by Lady Logan in her
"reminiscences
Lord Macaulay was in Rome the
winter we were there with the ma
harajah. They had one very good
story about him going the round of
the English colony. which was told
us by an attache of the British en-
bassy. Like all strangers. he went
by moonlight to see the Coliseum
and as was proper in. a historian
and a poet. that the spirit Of the
centuries might have full sway with
in his soul, he went alone. As
he stood rapt and gazing in the
shadow of the arches a man brushed
rudely by jostling him roughly. With
great presence of mind. Mr.. Macaulay
as he then was-felt at once for his
watch. 1t was gone. The thief was
still in view. Promptly the historian
gave chase, and, taking the law into
his own hands as might one of the
heroes of ancient Rome whose deeds
he set forth, he promptly knocked him
down and repossessed himself of his
property.
Fearing that other criminals might
be about, the Englishman at once re-
turned to his hotel, to find, to his sur

But it has been hard to get laun-

their living at the tub to turn to less

there is a scarcity of wash ladies'"
The condition is one paralleled in
many other cities.

GOLD DUFFER" WAS ADMITTED
Distinguished Citizen, Wanting to See
Horace Greeley, IrreverentIy An
nounced by Office Boy.

A citizen of Waterbury wrote let
tel to the Republican of that city a
day or two ago asking for information
about Horace Greeley, who he was,
etc. That he wished to learn more
about the great journalist does him
credit but we are surprised there is
q mar in Waterbury capable of writing
letters to newspapers who didn't know
about Mr.. Greeley already.
This reminds me of story told by
the late Charles A. Dana. One day
while Mr.. Greeley was reigning as edi-
tor of the Tribune he was particu-
lally busy, and gave explicit orders to
his office boy not to admit anybody
to his room. Later on the office boy
announced to Mr.. Greeley there was
an "old duffer" outside clamoring for
an interview with the editor. Mr..
Greeley asked the boy who il was, to
which the boy replied he didn't know,
but that he wore a SOiled linen duS-
ter, carried q carpet-bag Of the early
seventies type, and made big fuss
because he couldn't see the editor of
the Tribune. well" replied Mr.. Gree
ley, "if he is SO insistent you had bet"
ter ask the fellow his name, and then
I will decide whether he can come in"
The boy went back and returned in a
few minutes bringing the information
that the "old duffer'' was Henry Wilson
of Boston who happened at that time
to be the vice president of the United
States. He saw Mr.. Greeley.-Hart-
