A REMARKABLE MEMORY
•STas That Displayed by the Vice Presl*
dent of the Confederacy.
Alexander H. Stephens, vice prest

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.”

without giving any reason ht all, in¬

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

to regain the confidence of people,
and, in parting, gives each a cordial

recently at a hotel In Jericho, "We sat
on the porch of the hotel at Jericho,”
he wrote, “after n dinner at which we
were served with butter from Norway,
cheese from Switzerland, marmalade
from London, wine from Jerusalem di¬
luted with water from the well of Kli
