NO. 22.
i't iuiic!#n‘<. GamlilLns House.
1’endltton’s gambling house was one of
the eights of Washington before the war
The entrance was through a narrow, lighted
hallway, opening from the avenue near the
National Hotel. A pair of stairs at the fur
ther end of the hall were closed half way np
by a door fastened on the inside. A lattice
was opened on the ringing of a bell, and a
colored man scrutinized the new comets to
Fee if all was right. If there was no appa
rent objection the door was opened and the
visitors proceeded up stairs, where there was
a large front parlor, elegantly fnrnifhed,
with a center table on which were the lead
ing newspapers ana magazines of the coun
try. Aronnd it one generally found several
gentlemen, some of them members of Con
gress, reading and discussing the news of
the day. The back parlor was more luxu
riously furnished, and at one end, in a mass
ive gilt frame, was a life-like picture of a
huge, crouching tiger, having very fiery
eyes and open mouth, apparently ready for a
.spring upon his unsuspecting victim. Be
neath this pioture was a table, on which was
■ he lay out of a fa.o bank. In a box were
.ifTfl^ank bills ana gold pieces oi dif
ferent denominations, and in another box
were the “chips,” circular pieces of ivory,
inscribed $1, $5, $25 and $250, which were
pnrehased by players as a mailer of conve
nience, and redeemed by the banker at the
end of each game. There was also a supper
room, where a free supper was served every
night. The cook was the beet in Washing
ton, and at Pendleton’s those who did not
fancy the poor fare at the hotels and the
worse eating at the private boarding-houses,
could feast on turtle-soup, oysters, terrapin,
canvas-back duoks and venison. The best
wines and liquors were also supplied. Mr.
Pendleton belonged to an old Virginia fam
ily, and his wife who lived on Capitol Hill,
and went into the best society. After his
death President Buchanan attended his fu
neral.
President Jackson.
President Jackson, having received a com
plimentary letter from President Burta-
menle, of Mexico, sent it to the Department
of State with this endorsement: “Mr. Van
Buren will reply to this letter of Gen. Bur-
temante with the frankness of a soldier.”
When this reached Mr. Van Bnren he laugh
ed heartily, as he was neither a soldier nor
remarkable for frankness, and the olerks
could not keep a secret.
Col. Richardson.
Col. Richardson, who ran for Speaker in
the thirty-fourth Congress against Gen.
Banks, was not a handsome man. When
he first came to Washington, among the
distinguished men to whom he was intro
duced was Mr. John C. Rives. “Mr. Rives,”
said the colonel, “yon are one of the first
men I have ever met whom rnmor has not
belied; you have not been represented as
worse looking than you are.” Mr. Rives
looked him over deliberately, and re
marked: “You must come and see me.
After my wife has once set her ejes
on you, she will never complain of
my looks again.” Subsequently Col. Rich
ardson dined with Mr. Rives. Now, the
colonel not only chews a mouthful of to
baeco, but he has an aversion to everything
in the shape of spittoons so long as VYilton
and Brussels carpets, can be found as substi
tutes. The story goes that after the colonel
bad been talking and chewing for an hour
after dinner, Mrs. Rives went up to her
husband, threw her a. ms aroand his neck
and said: “My dear, I always thought you
were the ugliest man 1 ever saw, but now I
think you are quite handsome.”
Mr. I.iiicolu.
Mr. Lincoln’s largest professional fee was
one of $5,000, paid him for twice arguing
the case of the county of McLean against
the Illinois Central Railroad Company. The
opinion of the oourt sustained his view of
the case, holding that the provision in the
charter of the company by which its prop
erly was exempted from taxation on the
payment of a certain portion of its earn
ings, was constitutional. The Central Rail
road Company owned nearly 2,000,000 acres
of land which had been granted to it by
Congress, and the road passed through
twenty-six counties, so had the decision
been adverse to the company, a half-million
of dollars put at interest wouid scarcely
have paid the taxation.
Sargent S. Prentiss.
Sargent S. Prentiss, a native of Maine,
who represented Mississippi in the tweuty-
Sixth Congress, was unequalled as an off
hand speaker, and, when oppesiug the snb-
treasury scheme, he made a speech which
kept the House of Representatives in a roar
of laughter. He hoped, if the genilemen
aroand him had any of the milk of human
kindness in them, they would consider trie
pecuniary state of the people of Mississippi.
When recently traveling through that Slate
he had discovered that all the silver nine-
penoes, which used to be hung around ba
bies’ necks by a string, had been cot off and
used up, so that the poor infants could not
get one of them to out their teeth upon. It
was in this speech that he said: “It has been
remarked that when great julep drinkers
died, the mint was seen springing up on
their graves. It seems so with the Bank of
the United States. Though it has expired,
its issue still continues to supply the people
with the best enrrenoy.”
I*r«Ni<lcnt I’icrcr.
President Pierce was the most personally
popular msn that has ever occupied the
presidential chair. When, in 1855, the Or
ange & Alexandria railroad was completed
to Culpepper Court House, Va., the Hon.
John S. Barber, President of the roau, in
vited a number of gent'emen to inspect it
and partake of a barbicue. President
Pierce, Mr. Budiseo, the Russian Minister,
and oilier distinguished otliuiais were pres
ent. The piarty went to Alexandria by
steamer, and on landing there found a train
awaiting them, with a baggage car fitted up
as a lnuc;i-room. The President was in ex
cellent spirits, aud when the excursionists
reached the place where the barbicue was
held, he enjoyed a succession of anecdotes
told by the best story-tellers of the parly.
The feast of barbecued meats was after
wards enjoyed, and early in the afternoon
the party again took the cars to return.
On the return trip a gentleman with an
enormous beard, having imbibed very free
ly, leaned his head on the back of the seat
and went to sleep. A blind boy got in at
one of the stations, and moving along the
aisle of the car his hand came in contact
with the man’s beard, which he mistook for
a lap-dog, and began to pat, saying, “Pretty
puppy, pretty puppy.” This attention dis
turbed the sleeper, who gave a loud snort,
when the boy jumped back and said, “You
wouldn’t bite a blind boy, would you?”
Presioeut Pierce was much pleased with
this occurrence, and often spoke of it when
he met those who had been with him when
he witnessed it.
Miihtnl Fillmore.
When Millard Fillmore entered the House
in the twenty-third Congress as the repre
sentative from the Buffalo district Andrew
Stevenson of Yirgiuia, occupied the speak
er’s chair. When Mr. Fillmore rose to make
his maiden speech, a set of ill-mannered
members immediately endeavored to cough
and scrape him down. Mr. S’evecson, oti-
seiViugK.e no.-e ana tlrhC' t.U:r-y, rtippefl
Strongly aud loudly with the speaker’s ham
mer, and oalltd “Order ! Order 1” in a de
cisive tone, aud said, “Th‘- honorable mem
ber from New York will take his seat untii
order is restored.” Mr. Fillmore accord
ingly sat down, and, on the disturbance be
ing entirely quelled, Mr. Stevenson said:
“Order having been restored, the honorable
member from New York will proceed with
his remarks.” Mr. Fillmore, on this inti
mation, again rose and gracefully express
ed his acknowledgements to the speaker for
his kind interposition, and added: “I am
satisfied, Mr. Speaker, that the interruption
did not proceed fiom the gentlemen on the
other side of the House.”
t^am Houston.
Sam Houston, of Texas, in defending his
vote on the Kansas-Nebraska bill, predicted
that the proposed Southern Confederacy
would be a failure. He claimed to be a
Democrat of the Jackson stamp, and said
the declaration of that old patriot, “The
Union, it must and shall be preserved,”
would be sustained against all the machina
tions of aspirantB and demagogues. In con
clusion, he said that Senator Iverson’s
taunt that he had been repudiated by Texas
reminded him of the fable of the dead lion
and another animal. The latter, seeing the
lion helpless, took occasion to plant his
heels iu his face. He would not name the
animal, but it was the same from which
Samson took the jaw-bone to smite the
Philistines.
Anson Burlingame.
Anson Burlingame told a good story just
before ihe inauguration of Mr. Lincoln,
which had been sent to him by a friend in
Massachusetts. In 1807, so the story went,
the Rev. Aaron Gates was ordained at Mon
tague. Dr. Lothrop, of West Spriugtield,
presided over the council. At an early stuge
of the proceedings, the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of
Sunderland, rose and inquired if Mr. Wil
lard, of Deerfield, was to be allowed to sit
upon the council. "Why?” asked Dr. Lo-
tnrop. “Because,” replied Mr. Taylor, “in
that case I am instructed by my church to
secede.” “Very well,” said Dr. Lothrop,
“if you secede, we will proceed.”
JellVi'Min liavis.
Jefferson Davis, when Secretary’of War,
had a very angry correspondence with Win
field Scott, on the increased pay claimed by
the latter on receipt of the title of lieuten
ant-general. Gen. Scoti, in his last letter,
said: “My silence under the new provoca- ,
tion has been the result, first of pity and
next of forgetfaluees. Compassion is al
ways due to an enraged embecile who lays
about him blows which hurt only himself,
or who at worst seeks to stifle his opponent
by the din of naughty words.” To this
Secretary Davis responded as follows:
“War Department, May 27, 1856.
“Sir—I have received your letter of the
20th inst. The delay for which you make a
hypocritical apology has strengthened you
to resume the labor of vituperation, but
having only in this correspondence stamped
you with falsehood, and whenever yon have
presented a tangible point, convicted you
by conclusive proof, I have ceased to regard
your abuse, and, as you present nothing in
this letter which requires remark, I am
gratified to be relieved from the necessity
of further exp isiug your malignity and de
pravity. Your obedient servant,
“Jmtsbson Davis.
“Bbkvet Lieut.-Gen. Winmfield Scott.”
Maurice Thompson is about to publish a
novel of Southern life. Since the publica
tion of his “A Tallahassee Girl” and “His
Second Campaigu,” he has enjoyed the re
gard of a large constituency of readers, who
will eagerly await his new book. The scene
is said in Middle Alabama, and he has en
deavored to make it true in local color from
studies made on the spot. The motif of the
story is to represent life in the transition
period since the war, and the morale tnrns j
on an interesting social and domestic pre- !
dicament.
SIR WALTER SCOTT
BEECHER’S DAFT BROTHER.
A Pastor’s Wild Freak to bo a Recluse
—His Self-Built House.
The Rev. James Beecher, a half-brother
of Henry Ward Beecher, formerly pastor of
the Poughkeepsie Congregational Chnrcb,
was passionately fond of solitude, aad used
to spend his vacations in remote mountain
regions. In the summer of 1874 h9 accom
panied a few Poughkeepsie friends to the
wilderness about the headwaters of Wille-
wemoo Creek, in Sullivan County, where he
owned a comfortable club house. The near
est evidence of civilization was a lumber
camp, five miles distant. But, after spend
ing a day there, Mr. Beecher shouldered his
knapsack and plunged further into the wil
derness. He found a spot, whioh was his
ideal of a home. It was high up among
the hills, on the margin of a large lake, en
circled by high and wooded peaks. There
was no evidence that the foot of man had
ever trodden there before. He was so en
chanted with the spot that he encamped oa
the shore of the lake, to which he gave the |
name of Beeoher Lake, claiming the privi- :
lege by right of discovery. He remained
there fishing and limiting for six weeks, and |
returned to Poughkeepsie simply to resign !
his pastorate, as he was determined to seek J
again his solitary retreat. The appeals of !
his congregation and pleadings of family I
failed to shake his resolution. He resigned I
and searched the records of Ulster county j
to ascertain in whom the title to Beecher j
Lake vested. This information obtained, |
he purchased the lake and a mile square of
the forest of which it is the center, and re
turned at once to the spot. His first step
was to prepare suitable shelter for himself I
and family, which consisted of his wife and ]
an adopted daughter. There were no roads j
of even the most primitive kiuJ within nine
miles of Beecher Lake. Surrouudmg it !
were some of the highest peaks of the j
lower Catskills. Wild animals were nniner- I
oub, and in the whole township—Harden- I
burgh, there were not a handful of people, !
they being chiefly rude mountaineers, living j
by hunting and fishing. Up to the time Mr.
Beeoher settled at the lake it is doubtful if j
half-a-dozeu people from the outside world
had ever ventured into the region. Not a
tree had ever been felled upon the Beecher
domain until the seif-exiled preacher be
gan to make a clearing large enough npon
which to build his proposed house. He out
every tree himself. Nine miles away was a
saw mill, and from the lake to that mill Mr.
Beecher out a road the entire distance
tnrough the woods in order that the lumber
for his building might be brought in. He
paid nine dollars a thousand for the mate
rial at the mill, and nine dollars per thous
and for hauling it to the lake. Without
any outside aid the preacher built his house,
finishing it before winter set in. It was
one story and a half high, with veranda
fronting on the lake, and containing parlor,
sitting-room, kitchen and several bedrooms.
His wife declined to join him in the forest
before spring, and he spent the winter en
tirely aione. In the spring of 1875 Mrs.
Beecher and their daughter joined
her husband, and the family has lived
in the wilderness ever since. Mrs.
Beecher has spent much of her time in ele
vating the condition of the few and scat
tered inhabitants of the region. She started
a school in the forest soon after she became
a dweller in the wilderness, and has taught
it herself ever since. She has introduced
books into families who never saw one
from one year’s end to another, spending
one hnndred dollars of her money annnally
for the purpose. On Sundays Mr. Beeoher
has preached to the back-woodsmen. His
eccentricities seemed to endear him to
I them. His last freak was to purchase or
! negotiate for the purchase ot the rocky
J height known as Sim’s Point, on the sum-
! init of which he designed to erect a hotel
| costing thirty thousand dollars. Recently
his eccentricities became so marked that
! his brother, the Rev. Thomas K. Beeoher. of
Elmira, believing that James was not quite
right in mind, thought it prudent to have
him removed from the scenes which he had
been surrounded, and to give him a radical
change ir. locality and mode of living. In
company with Dr. Lord, of E'mira, he visit
ed the hermit preacher, and finally prevailed
on him voluntarily to enter the State Humeo-
pathic Asylum for the Insane.
Why Newton Remained a Bachelor.
Newton’s thoughts were generally occu
pied in contemplating the heavenly bodies
and in mentally following their movements
as they revolved iu their orbits. If his at
tention was withdrawn for a time by other
questions he was soon absorbed again in his
favorite meditations. Upon one occasion
he was in love with a yonng lady, but f. nnd
it difficult to carry on the courrship, as his
thoughts were too much occup'td for any
conversation upon love matters. So he sat
and smoked, and cogitated, till, acciden
tally touching the lady’s little finger, he
gently drew it toward’s him. The lady, be
lieving a proposal imminent, made no
special resistance, but queried, mentally,
whether the little finger was to receive a kiss
or a ring. But she didn’t dare to look, and
Newton still slowly drew the finger towards
him with one hand, while the other rested
upon the pipe he was smoking. Thinking
intently’ or the possible “conjunction” of
two c bestial bodies at some time iu the re
mote future, he forgot ail about the blush
ing damsel at his side. Iu one hand he held
the lighted pipe, and in the other the maid
en’s ruby finger. In another instant he had
pluuged the finger into the fiery bowl! With
a shriek of astonishment and pain the dam
sel bounded from her seat and Newton re
mained a bachelor !
Two Georgia Women,
A married lady in Athens, who does not
wish her name known, is possessed of the
rare power of mind reading,and occasionally
exercises the gift for the amusement of her
friends. She has made some wonderful
revelations. The other evening she re
quested a gentleman to fix his mind on
some text in the Bible, which he did, and
she placed the book upon a bed in a dark
room. The lady then plaoed her hand upon
the gentleman’s forehead, and, after hold
ing it there a few moments, walked into the
room, and, opening the Bible at random,
marked a verse. Upon bringing the book to
the light it was discovered that she had
opened it and marked the very text the gen
tleman had in his mind.
Tkere is a little colored girl on ihe place of
Mr. Bob White, in Jackson county, who is a
wonderful medium. She is subject to fits,
and, to relieve her, Mr. White mesmeiizes
the child. While in this state she makes the
most wonderful revelations, describing per
sons and their occupation in an adjoining
room. The other day she was visited by a
doctor from Atlanta, who asked her if she
knew him, the gentleman having never peen
her before. “Yes,” she replied; “your
name is Dr. [giving it correotly], and I
saw you yesterday in Atlanta, playing on
something like a little piano.” The physi
cian stated that at the time mentioned he
was in the city, and using a writing machine.

j A BROOKLYN FORTUNE-TELLER.
The City of Churches has a Test Case in
Court.
A case which is soon to come before the
legal tribunals of Brooklyn, is interesting
from the fact that it may be regarded as in
a certain sonse a test case of much impor
tance. The principle it involves is the le
gality of fortunoteiling as a business. Are
clairvoyance, so called, mind reading, card
interpreting und soothsaying generally to
be regarded as legitimate occupations and
as suoh to receive the protection of the law,
whatever results from the predictions or
revelation of the oracle.
The case is that of a clairvoyant who has
been arrested npon the charge of causing
domestic infelicity in the family of a Brook
lyn broker. The broker, it appears, has
been in the habit of reprehensihly remain
ing out late at night, and his unhappy wife
had recourse to this woman “having a fa
miliar spirit,” to use Biblical phraseology,
to ascertain the cause of his dereliction.
Madam Pi.uebe. as the sorceress is called,
examined the cards in the usual way and
gravely informed Mrs. H. that there was “a
woman iu the case.” Mrs. Hillis accepted
the statement as the truth, and subsequently
charged her husband with misconduct. T his
he indignantly denied, and an open rupture
followed of so serious a nature as to threat
en domestic shipwreck. Arrested on a charge
of “disorderly conduct,” Madame Pi mbe not
only gave bail, but also a good deal of that
pecnliar commodity familiarly known as “a
piece of her mind.” She declared herself
an honest woman supporting hereelt and
husband, and dealing righteously with all
the world. She expressed perfect faith, but
also utter irresponsibility for the declara
tion of the cards. What those oracles of
fate declared she interpreted, but that was
all: and she felt that she did well to be angry
at. the absurd and unrighteous charge pre
ferred against her.
What the sapient Brooklyn conrt may de
cide we will not pretend to determine, but
we wait with much interest to learn. It
would he interesting to know whether Mad
ame Phoebe’s oracular “there is a woman in
the case” was a mystic and inspired utter
ance, or merely an easy phrase of stale
wisdom; bnt this is not necessarily relevant
to the main issue. The true point to be de
termined is whether clairvoyance shall be
recognized as a regular trade; whether if
the Witch of Eudor, the Cuinaasn Sibyl and
Simon Magnus should appear and settle
down quietly and thriftily to the practice of
their trade, they conld claim the protection
of the American police against disappointed
clients or irate enemies. The problem is a
most curious as well as interesting one.
A Lightning Bug Kills a Child.
A strange death of a little girl, by acci
dently swallowing a lightning bug, is re
ported from Concord. The child was play
ing in the yard with a number of other chil
dren, at her parent’s house near Odell’s fac
tory, and while laughing and romping about
a lightning bug flew in her mouth and made
its way down her throat. The little girl be
came suddenly ill, aDd thongh physicians
did everything to relieve her suffering, she
died within a few hours afterward. This is
the first death from such a cause on record.
We mortals, men and women, devour many
a disappointment between breakfast and
dinner-time; keep back the tears and look
a little pale abonc the lips, and in answer to
inquiries, say: “Ob, nothing!” Pride 1
helps ns, and pride is not a bad thing when I
it only nrges ns to hide onr own harts—not |
to hurt others.—George Eliot.
GENERAL HOOD’S ROMANCE.
Draiiiatie Incident in the Life of a
Confederate Officer.
The Brave Chieftain and a Heartless
Woman.
A writer in the Washington Chronicle re
lates the fc'li wing dramatic incident in
General Hood’s life: There was visiting
Mrs. Jefferson Davis in Richmond, at that
time, a lady belonging to a family in the
South of very powerful convictions, who in
beauty, cleverness and ambition, has never
had her superior in that section. She was
engaged to le raarried to General Hood.
With all a woman's natural ambition for
her husband, she determined, if possible, to
help him to a position where his unquali
fied abilities as a fighter would find a prop
er sphere. The instant a charge in the
commander of the second great army of the
Confederacy was noted, she saw her oppor
tunity. “I will try to have you given the
command of the Western Army,” she wrote
him, “and you must succeed.” General
Hood was then abent 33 years old, and had
first distinguished himself in two of the
greatest battle of the war as a division and
corps commander. He was a man who was
always ready to fight, no matter against
what odds; and as the Army of the Ten
nessee conld not be recruited much more,
it was decided at Richmond that some one
should command it who wouid risk two or
three terrible battles, and, if it were possi
ble, get Sherman’s corps far enough apart
to fall on them and defeat them, each one at
a time. So General Hood was selected.
Every one knew he wouid fight whenever he
got the chance, and that was mainly what
was wanted at Richmond. It was a prond
day for the stately woman he loved when it
. Wki afrooune-d that General Hoqd wss to
be raifGJ provisionally io tne grade ot tun
General and given this well-trained army.
On the 17th of July (I believe that was the
date) General Johnston was relieved, and it
was understood that thereafter there would
be no more flanking or strategic operations,
but some teirible battles. Hood did his
best, but the transeendant genius of John
ston was lacking, aud the final battk s of
the 14th and 15th of December, 1864, in
front of Nashville, nearly destroyed his
army. After this occurred General Hood
was sent for to come to Richmond at once.
The day after his arrival he received a note
from the lady mentioned, requesting him to
call on her at his earliest convenience.
There happened to be an officer with Gen.
Hood whom he knew when the note reached
him, and he asked the officer to go with him
to the house where Miss was. After
a few moments of waiting when they were
announced the lady came in with a packet
in her hand. “Genera! Hood,” she said,
looking straight into his eyes, “when I be
came engaged to yon I had the fullest faith
in your success. I tried to help yon and did
assist in having the command of the Army
of Tennessee given you. You have failed ;
why or how is now beside the question. 1
can never bring myself to bear the name of
a man who wears the prestige of defeat, and
I sent for you to say that our engagement
must be at an end. Here are your letters
and some things yon gave me. Now, good
bye and let the dead past be forgotten.
While this was being said General Hood
was standing on his cratches, for his leg
was gone and one arm shattered. He turned
very white but said not a word, nor did
he look at tne hand out-stretched to bid him
good bye. He gravely bent his stately head
and went out from her presence forever
more. But he never forgot nor forgave the
bitter, oruel words, and years after, in
speaking of the matter, he showed deep
emotion. It was so hard to bear, for he had
done all that the most distinguished cour
age conld do to win. It was an awful posi
tion for the effioer who went with him.
When the conversation commenced he rose
and walked over to a window in order that
he might not be a witness to what he fore
saw would be a most painful scene. But he
conld not help hearing, and never until his
dying day will he forget one of the most re
markable incidents of the war. Gen. Hood
in 1869 married Miss Marie Henneu. a
daughter of Hon. D. N. Henneu, of New
Orleans. She was a tall, handsome woman,
worthy of her gallant and chivalric soldier
husband. Tbe sad death of both husband
and wife in quick succession, of the yellow
fever, in 1878, is still fresh in the public
mind, as is the fact that they left nine little
children, the eldest only nine years old, to
the care of strangers.
DuriDg the reign of Queen Elizabeth the
Bishop of London devised a special mar
riage service by signs for the benefit of a
deaf and dumb man named Thomas Fiisby,
who wished to marry Ursula Bridget, a
talkative spinster, with perfectly good hear
ing. The groom, having first embraced
Ursula with his arms, took her by the hand
and put the nuptial ring on her finger. He
then laid his right hand significantly upon
his heart, and afterward, putting their
palms together, extended both his hands to
Heaven. Having thus sued for tbe divine
blessing, he deolared his pnrpose to dwell
with Ursula till death should separate them,
by closing his eyelids with his fingers, dig
ging the earth with his feet, as though he
wished to make a hole in the ground, and
then moving his arms und body as though
he were tolling a fnneral bell.
Readers are not aware of the fact, but a
fact it is of daily increasing magnitude, and
already of terrible importance to readers,
that their first grand necessity in reading is
to be vigilantly, conscientiously select; and
to know everywhere that books, like human
sonls, are actually divided into what we may
call “sheep and goats,” the latter put inex
orably on the left hand of the Judge; and
tending, every goat of them, at all moments,
whither we know, and muoh to be avoided,
and. if possible, ignored by all sane orea-I
tures \—Carlyle.
