A REMARKABLE MEMORY •STas That Displayed by the Vice Presl* dent of the Confederacy. Alexander H. Stephens, vice prest ient of ^si tlie had^ Confederacy and Governor tfGesrr i^ZTv aremn LhleU£hTw“a“or rkntjle memory \V a tong time his private secretary. Once, «vs the Colonel, when wo were in tVashln-noa to’urge a hi”- Dakota’s dele-ration visited she city claims to 'Statehood. The delegates sent word to the dis anguished Georgian that they would tall on him at his hotel, and at the ap pointed time they tiled into his parlor «id -were introduced. As Mr. Stephens was at that time dis •■bled by a fall he sat in his rolling ihstir in the middle of the room and sold a running conversation with his risitors. There were about a hundred Dakotans present, stalwart, handsome men, representing the best type of V\estem manhood. After they had sampled some fine 0 Georgia com whisky th«r host dts Pissed the matters ih which they were most interested, and occa.siona y tresse-d one of the strangers person* y, naming him os he spoke. During the evening he singled out In this wav at least twenty of his guests, nul astonished us all and' by his ready rec jllectfon of names faces. Every man in the crowd got the idea Into bis lead that something striking or attract tve in his personality had favorably impressed the little man In the rolling tbair, and I could see that the dele gates were delighted with their recep tion. ■Whey they had bowed themselves out 1 asked Mr. Stephens how he managed to hold so many names and faces iu his memory. “Qb it is a mere trick,” he replied. “X simply concentrated my attention upon about twenty names and faces, and as they were scattered around the room it naturally surprised my visitors when I turned to them and addressed them by name. Of course, It caused every man to believe that he had deep¬ ly impressed me.” Never deem it a liirht or unimnort ant matter to cultivate in the youn 8 thnt internal sense and appreciation of beauty which gladly respond to all real beauty, whether in nature, in art In life r in character, for you are thus plant devel seeds which may grow am) into a richness of dower and fullui of fruit little dreamed of.

The vast accumulation of paper money and coin was being counted, an incident in tbe change of United States Treasurers, As fast as the hags of silver areweighed they are passed along from one man to another and piled from floor to ceil f ng jn one of the steel vaults under the department building.

He amused the people more titan once since he took his office. It had been the custom in Missouri release for stjme two years pris for the Governor to principal oners on each of the three 1 holidays—July 4, Thanksgiving Day and December 25. Governor Stevens, without giving any reason ht all, in¬ creased the number to three, and will exercise clemency on that ratio during his term. He calls the men in and gives them a little talk before bestow¬ ing their pardon upon them. He lectures them as to their duty, warns old them against falling back into ruts, points out how they may hope to regain the confidence of people, and, in parting, gives each a cordial handshake. He makes the whole pro¬ cee ding as fatherly and as eneourag in g as possible. He caused the latest j tr io he released to stare at lnm pvettv b ard when he remarked that he bad no doubt there were many innocent me „ m prison, and many men wlm oUght to be in prison walking the streets free.
