THE MEETING AT MENTOR Recalling an Incident of the La.st Givafc Campaign. Th*' rl4)cal Significance of the Meeting of Garfield, iloukiing, Logan and Others, at Bfentor. G. H. W , in Cleveland Herald. The events of the great campaign of I**o are stil! fresh in the minds of most people who read newspapers, but the incidents of that contest, which I am about to narrate did not come under the notice of the general public. They occurred at tho time, and were incidental to, the so called Mentor treaty, as the visit of General Grant, Senator Conkling, General Logan and other famous Stalwarts, was termed by the Democratic newspapers. That there was no treaty or truce, or anything more than a friendly call from certain prominent leaders of a party upon their recognized standard-bearer or chief, will appear, I think, from the reading of certain facts connected with that visit—facts that were fastened indelibly upon the minds of those who were present at the time. * * * Grant and Conkling had not met since the former returned from his tour around the world. Henator Conkling, while at Warren, was entertained by State Senator Perkins, and thither General Grant was driven as soon as his train arrived. On the way through the streets the enthusiasm was unbounded, and surrounding the. General’s carriage were hundreds endeavoring to shake his hand. He had become so used to this sort of thing that ns ho reached out his hand it was hit or miss, It mattered not to him which, and if ome other hand came in contact with his own a mechanical shake followed. As the carriage drew up in front of the Perkin’s residence a large, finely-proportioned man, dressed in a gray walking suit, desoended the steps. But few in the assembled throng had ever seen tbe man before, but the striking features and graceful bearing could only be those of Senator Conkling. and as he grasped the hand of tbe hero of Appomattox, the words that passed between them were drowned in the cheers. As Grant passed up tho steps, Mr. Conkling turned to greet General Logan and the venerable Simon, who had just alighted. Three cheers were proposed and given for Senator Conkling, who acknowledged the compliment by a pleasant smile and dignified bow. Mr. Conkling did not want to go to Mentor. Grant bad not given the subject much thought. Old Simon Cameron had been down to call upon General Garfield the day before, and was anxious to have General Grant and Senator Conkling follow his example. The matter was decided at the din-ner-table after others who had eaten were gone from the room. It was felt that tne object of a visit to Mentor might be looked upon with distrust. People would say, as the sequel showed, they went there to make a bargain or division in advance of the spoils to be won in November. Again, were they to fail in calling at Mentor, it would be interpreted as an open attempt to snub the Republican candidate, especially when it was so short a distance out of their way to call upon him. To General Grant was referred the decision of the question. Thinking a moment, he said, in his characteristic, blunt way: “Senator, we go to Mentor.” It was a decision that troubled the New York senator; nevertheless, he prepared to go. The great meeting over ana a lunch eaten at Mr. Perkins’s, General Grant, Senator Conkling, Senator Logan and Hon. Levi P. Morton, together with member* of the Cleveland committee of escort, started in the private car of General Manager Layng, of the Pennsylvania Company, the route being by way of Ashtabula. * * * During the two hours’ ride various topics were discussed, including political intolerance in the South, the proposition to divide Texas into five States, and Southern election frauds. The writer continues: At Mentor Station a mouuted squad of Garfield Guards, with torches, were drawn up to receive the distinguished visitors. General Garfield’s carriage had been sent down for the conveyance of them, and to it General Grant, Senator Conkling, General Logan and Mr. Morton w T ere conducted. With the carriage, as a guard of honor, was a squad of torch-bearerson foot, tbe mounted escort riding some distance ahead. It was decidedly unpleasant for the men on foot whenever the horses took to a trot, the narrowness of the road making it difficult for them to keep alongside. The party inside the carriage kept up quite an animated conversation. They discussed the reform element in the Republican party, and I recollect the earnestness with which Mr. Conkling expressed the opinion that the sooner Mr. Joe Medill and his Chicago Tribune, and other like reformers, went over to the Democratic party the better it would be, he said, for the Republican party. It was nearly two miles to General Garfield’s house, and every now and then someone of the party looked ahead and asked aloud, “I wonder "how much farther it is?” Noticing the windows of some of the houses illuminated, the torches of the escort constantly moving up and down with tbe motion of the horses, all commented upon the beauty of the scene. Finally, there being unmistakable signs ahead that they were approaching General Garfield’s, Mr. Conkling said, with apparently a feeling of uneasiness, “Now. let us not stay here very long.’’ The greetings between General Garfield and his guests, as tbe latter alighted, were short, but cordial. Each was saluted with: “How are you, Senator?” “How are you, General?” they severally responding: “General, I’m glad to see you.” After presenting them to Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Rockwell in the parlor, General Garfield retired, and in a moment entered the parlor with hia venerable mother leaning upon his arm, he looking physically the true picture of manhood in Its prime, and she slight in figure, of small stature, and bent over with age. General Grant seemed especially pleased to meet the aged lady, and bowed" low and reverently when she was introduced. In the diningroom an elegant lunch had been spread. This was enjoyed, and immediately preparations were made to return to the special train. There being gathered on the lawn ouUide a large assemblage of General Garfield's neighbors and friends, some of them coming a distance of miles, the host led the way to the porch, where the guests were introduced in turn, and each spoke a few words. General Grant said simply: “Citizens of Mentor, I am glad to meet you to-night.” Senator Conkling said: “Fellow-citizens, of course I can make no speech to you tonight, but I take pleasure in leaving with you my grateful acknowledgement of this courtesy. General Logan, on being introduced, said: “Gentlemen, I thank you very kindly for this compliment. Os course I have no speech to make to-night, but I am glad to see you, and glad to be here and see and meet the neighbors of our illustrious friend. General Garfield, whom we expect to make the President of the United States next November.” Hats and coats were then hastily donned, preparatory to leaving, but a heavy thunderstorm which had been threatening for some time, suddenly burst with fury upon the scene and drove the people in every direction in search of shelter. The house was filled in a twinkling, and General Garfield, not wishing his guests to be jostled and elbowed in the throng, led the way up stairs to his library, Where a quiet, smoke was enjoyed for about five minutes, when the storm broke somewhat and the carriages were hastily summoned for fear the rain would again come down in torrents. General Garfield, know

ing that his guests were anxious to reach the train without delay, went out in tbe rain, bareheaded, to lmrry his driver, who seemed be taking his own time in hitching up. Adieux were hastily exchanged, and tbe little procession of carriages 6et out on their return, the road being now very muddy and ditticult for the horses. Frequently Hashes of lightning illuminated the scene. The conversation became animated again, though carried on principally by General Grant and Senator Conkling. General Logan and Mr. Morton contented themselves with sayinglittle or nothing, Mr. Conklingspoke of the effects of the campaign upon General Garfield, and a troubled and anxious look which the latter seemed to wear called forth comments. “I wouldn’t be in that man’s shoes, with his temperament and the wear and tear of an exciting campaign ahead, for anything,” said the New York senator. All were impressed with tne happiness which reigned in General Garfield’s household. Mr. Conklingspoke iu terms of praise of the graceful bearing of Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Rockwell. General Grant was especially taken up with Miss Mollie Garfield, and from words complimentary to her his talk drifted to descriptions of his own grandchildren. He spoke of one little one whom he had seen In Chicago just before coming to Warren. He did not mention which grandchild it was, but it was inferred he meant one of his son Fred’s children. He described how prettily she sang to him the familiar Sabbath-school song: “Little drops of water. Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean Ami the beauteous land.” And then the old warrior commented upon the beauty of langeage and true philosophy embodied in the little stanza. “Reform” newspapers again came up as the topic of conversation, and Senator Conkling described how the representative of one of the unwelcome sheets tried to interview him. “I asked him the name of the paper he represented,” said Mr. Conkling, “and he told it. I then said to him, ’Go back to the editor who sent you to me and tell him that I have nothing to say to the representative of a paper founded upon plunder, fattened upon robbery, and edited by u thief.’ ” Some one in the carriage asked Mr. Conkling the name of the journal referred to, and he mentioned the name of a well-known New* York evening paper. All laughed quite heartily, and remarked upon the boldness of the language used. Mr. Conkling added that he never hesitated to tell an enemy what he thought of him, no matter what the consequences. “I don’t like to do that way,” said Granf* “I prefer to wait to get the enemy just where I want him—where I can crush him easily—and then tell him what I think of him.” It is Yerv evident that the visit was not pleasing to Mr. Conk ling’s wishes. The fact, too, that the party were away from the train barely an hour and three-quarters, and during that time rode the better part of the four miles, and time was taken up by lunch and speeches, is sufficient to show that no bargain or “treaty” was made, as charged by the Democratic newspapers at the time. It is as subsequent events have proven, that Mr. Conkling was too independent to enter into a bargain as claimed, and was above the methods of cheap politicians. It disposes, too, of one more of the stories of compacts entered into by General Garfield, whereby he was to divide tbe spoils of the victory when achieved. A trnthful account of the famous visit relieve* it of any political significance, except to show that the great leaders of the Republican party worked in harmony for the common cause.

A CLOSE SHAVE. Captain Lobs Tells How His Vessel Rubbed Against an Iceberg. New York Herald. Captain Loss, of the German bark J. W. Wendt, bringing a general cargo from Bremen, laughed somewhat hysterically as he related the experience of a narrow escape from destruction from an iceberg. “It was a mighty clean shave,” he said, “and you will hardly believe it possible that we could come so near running down an iceberg when I tell you that it occurred in broad daylight. We were running along before a fresh breeze at the rate of about nine knots an hour. There was not a cloud in the sky. the sea was tranquil, and the sun, which was getting low toward the west, shone directly in the eyes of anyone lookingaiiead. I was below in my cabin and the mate was on the poop deck. He was standing near the bows, looking forward, when suddenly the pale blue outline of an immense mass of ice, right under the hows, startled him with a sudden realization of imminent danger. He screamed, “An iceberg! Down with your wheel!” The wheel was immediately put hard down, and not any too soon, for the ice just grazed the channel plates. The iceberg was fifty or sixty feet long, about thirty wide and fifteen or twenty feet high. While not of remarkable size it may be a formidable looking object at close quarters, I can tell you. It would have sent us to Davy Jones’s locker in mighty short order had we struck it. The reason the mate could not see H before was because the sun was just over it and the rays dazzled the eyes so as to render it practically invisible. I myself was on deck only a few moments previous and scanned the horizon without seeing it. Os course wo were not looking for icebergs so far south as latitude 41. and we were very much astonished to find such a strange visitor there. George Francis Train and Son. Brooklyn Bugle. He (the son) Is a smooth-faced young man with a rather preposses>imi manner, and is very good natured. He lota of money. His father is said to be very well otf and the 6on has a lucrative position down town in a private banking firm. The father and son are rarely seen together as the old man has become almost insane of late. He has not spoken for several months and will shake hands with nobody. Not long ago 1 was passing through Madison square one Sunday morning and saw George Francis eating peanuts in his accustomed place on one of the benches. As I came along his son arrived from the opposite direction, leaned over and kissed his father and sat down beside him. A moment later lie was writing to his parent on a little tablet which Train always carries. The father would not speak even to his own son. A Husband’* Queer Experience. Nowberne tN. C.) Journal. A negro woman entered into a conspiracy with a man to get rid of her husband, anil fixed a rope through the upper floor of the house while her husband was absent, and when he returned home the wife met him at the door and greeted him with many kisses and decoyed him under the hole, while the man on the upper floor dropped the noose over his head; then the wife held Her husband's hands and the man up stairs pulled the rope. When they thought the husband was dead they took him down and dragged him otf, and covered him up for dead. When they had left, the old fellow, like Sind bad, tho sailor, scratched out. The guilty parties, bearing of hi 9 rosurrection, fled to Pimilico county, where they wore urrested and lodged In jail. A (I ami Home Paper. Michigan Pity Enterprise.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1883.

A NEW FAGIN, A Reporter Visits a School of Burglary and Takes a Lesson in Housebreaking. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Now do you know the best time to do a job in?” The reporter acknowledged that he didn’t, and made the acknowledgment in a manner that showed Mr. Ryan he was quite ashamed of his ignorance. “Well, I’ll tell you,” said the Professor. “Between three and four o'clock in the morning. particularly if the night is black. People sleep soundest in tbe hour just before daylight. You can go through a big bouse easy in an hour and scoop everything, from the jewelry in the secret safe above the mantel to the six-shooter and gold super (watch) under the boss’s pillow'. And this brings us to our first lesson, which will show you how to get into a house. There are three ordinary ways of doing this: by the doors, by the lower windows and by the window’s on the upper floors. If the upper windows are to be worked, all you have to do is to climb the porch, push up your window and crawl in. Never try to do anything without a partner. Leave your shoes With him on the lookout below. You will want a light, and you may use either matches, a candle end or a bull'seye lantern. The bit of candle is the best to use. Its light will not w’ake a sleeper. Then prosecute your work as judgment dictates, being sure to search the open places first and the drawers next. I’m telling you all this in an off-hand w’nv, but you must remember it, as you would a lesson in catechism or a firstclass minstrel gag.” “If you want to make it by way of the front door you can use the skeleton, if there is no key inside, and if there is, take the outsiders. Come, I’ll show you. Here, Martha, lock this door,” and leading the way into the back yard, after his wife had locked the door and he himself had closed the shutters on the window, he gave a practical illustration of the value of the implements used by burglars. The “outsider” is a pair of steel pincers, delicately but strongly constructed, and designed to take hold of the end of the key and turn it in the lock. The pincers are cylindrical-shaped, and just large enough to fit in a key-hole. The insides are threaded and cross-threaded, so as to produce a filelike surface, and when the end of a key is caught between the two jaws and a strong grip is kept on it, the strongest lock in the world can be tumbled back. Giving the reporter the “outsiders” he had purchased, Ryan bade him catch the key in the pincers and turn it. It was only the work of a moment. The key fitted into the hollow cylinder as nicely as a section of whortleberry pie fits into a small boy’s mouth, and in a jiffy tbe door was unlocked. “There, now,” said Ryan in mock triumph, “I knew you would do something of that kind. You made noise enough to awaken forty people on a second story. There, Martha, lock this door again. There, that’ll do. Now. I’ll show you how to go quietly to work at it.” The Professor took the “outsiders,” and, although he seemed to work with ten times the rapidity of the reporter, he tumbled the lock without making even as much noise as the’dropping of a pin would occasion.

Phil. Thompson** Father. Letter iu Philadelphia Times. The lawyers were no apprentices in criminal proceedings. The career of Thompson, senior, embraces not alone victories in desperate murder cases. His own hands are not blood free. Ten years ago, within these same walls, Thompson, senior, and Theodore Daviess were at suit over a promissory note. The suit was full of spirit and heat. Crowds flocked to hear it, and among those who went were the three sons of each of the ligitants. The Daviess boy who • bore his father’s name, Theodore, proposed to young Phil. Thompson that they go out into the court-yard and settle the matter. On the way out. in the hallway, before reaching the yard, a shot was fired. Every man’s hand in the court-room} reached for his hip pocket. The Thompsons and Daviessess all drew and fired and old Theodore Daviess and his son Larue fell dead. Sharp work, meanwhile, was going on in the yard, where young Theodore Davieas had clawed young Phil Thompson’s scalp like a tiger. Old Phil, his pistol still smoking, looked through the window at the combatants, and, seeing his boy’s face besmeared with blood and supposing him to have been knifed or shot, sprung over tiie sill. Young Theodore ran out of the yard and started down the street. Thompson chased as far a9 the gate, when be fired at the retreating figure and the undertaker made three coffins instead of two that week for the Daviess family. The preliminary hearing satisfied the cuminunity that everybody had had a fair chance, and the grand jury refused to indict. The Philosophy of Dull Times. Interview with Pittsburg Manufacturer. Nine men out ot ten would say that when you come to a hard place you had better keep all the men in your employ and let them work three days in the week. That would seem equitable, would it not 9 Now, sir, let me tell yon that this is always a dangerous policy. When von must cut down your men, take three of them out of ten, for for instance, and say: “I want you.” To the other three: “I am sorry, hut you must go.” Then the three men you keep will have daily work and regular wanes, while the other three, seeing the inevitable, will go and find something else ami make work somehow. But if you keep the six men, and only give them three days’ work out of six, they will begin to say: “Why, instead of getting $2 a day I am only getting sl.” They count the day they do not work in with the other day and divide it by two. The next thing they say is that such wages are outrageous. So you have your whole hand of men discourged, brooding and ready for a muss.

Pussy And the Parson. Lowell (Mass.) Hail. In the house of a clergyman in this city the “harmless, necessary cat” is a great family pet. the good dominie following the example of Montague in beguiling many an idle hour with the graceful gambols of puss, and surreptitiously conveying dainty morsels to her from his own dish. On going to breakfast the other day, what was the parson’s surprise to see in the very center of ins plate a young rat, placed there with almost .mathematical precision bv the cat, as if to express her gratitude for the many favors received from Iter master by returning the best gift in her power to make, denying herself a tidbit to prove her affection. It is needless to say that puss’s breach of decorum was condoned in view of the spirit which seemed to prompt it. Theodora Tilton and the Dog. Rending (Pa.) Times. Alunuy story comes to us from Williamsport. Theodore Tilton lectured there the other evening on “The World’s To morrow.” His audience numbered less than one hundred. During the delivery of his lecture he was frequently Interrupted by the barking of a dog on the floor directly under the stage. Instead of being embarrassed, Mr. Tilton took occasion to enlist the services of the dog in an imaginary argument, and the result is described as being exceedingly humorous. One of the papers there expresses tlio hope that “the management will take steps which will prevent a repetition of the occurrence.” Wmch eroes to show that Williamsport folks dou’t appreciate humorous effbcts. Worse tliAii the Cavalry. Mrrriweather (Oa.) Vindicator. “Thirty-live lawyers in Greenville to-day?” said an old soldier. “Why, that is as large as General Wheeler’s critter companies during the last days of the wur.” “Yes,” said a uiou

j who had just lost Lia case, “ami they are r doing more harm than all the. cavalry on both sides during the last war.” DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indication*. Wii Department. i Office of the chief.
