Mahone Needed No Sympathy

How the Eccentric but Spirited Little Senator From Virginia Repelled tlee Attack of Democrats Led by Benjamin H. Hill. When Gen. William Mahone entered the United States senate from Virginia in March, 1881, he was already nationally famous as “the Hero of the Crater,” a title which he gained by his bravery as a Confederate general in the fighting that took place in ancl around Petersburg in the late winter of 1865. General Mahone was sept to the senate by the faction of the Virginia Democracy known as the who favored a partial or conditional repudiation of the state debt. But coincident with the beginning of his term as senator he allied himself with the Republicans and was assigned a seat in the rear row upon the Republican side of the chamber. He was an animated skeleton; a little ov§r medium height, there seemed to be not an ounce of spare flesh upon his body. He had a bushy head of hair, large, dark eyes and a voice that was thin and piping, but nevertheless clear. And certain peculiarities of dress accentuated his physical appearance. His shirt front was a lace frill and no man could exactly describe the kind of a collar which he wore. It seemed to be a combination of lace, turnover and old-fashioned stock. Instead of cuffs his wrists were covered with delicate draperies of lace. He wore a waistcoat of peculiar make, double breasted, and drawn in tightly at the waist. His trousers seemed to be gathered at the waist, then swelling until they were of a bal-ioon-like formation at the knees, they tapered down to a very tight adjustment at the ankles. His coat was' a sort of mixture of the military frock and the civilian frock coat. He always wore a military soft felt hat. : Angered by his allegiance with the Republicans, some of the senators upon* the Democratic side, especially from the south, decided to make attacks upon Mahone soon after he had entered the senate. Senator Benjamin }l. Hill of Georgia was chosen to '.c-ed the assault. Hill possessed, a voice that seemed to sound the diapason of human vocal utterance. In his features and in the manner in which he wore his hair, he reminded everyone of the familiar portraits of John C. Calhoun. He was a man of dauntless cotlrage, and he it was who told General Lee that if the south established independence Lee would be the successor of Jefferson Davis as president of the Confederacy. The day came for the forensic battle between Hill and Mahone. The galleries were crowded. Every senator who was in Washington was in his place. Senator Hill began the attack and it was a fierce, although entirely parliamentary onslaught. He intimated

Edmunds Broke Rule for Him

Great Senator From Vermont Never Asked Patronage Except in the Case of George P. Marsh, First American Minister to Italy, When the state of Vermont was represented in the United States senate by Justin S. Merrill, who was the father of the fit4t protective tariff law adopted by the Republican* party, and by George F. Edmunds, now eightythree years of age, it had the unique reputation of living up to the ideal of senatorial duty. Neither of the two senators, during their service of thir-ty-one and twenty-five years respectively, took the slightest interest in matters cf political patronage, except In one instance. They were not oniy willing that ■ questions of patronage should be left to the members of the lower house who represented Vermont; they insisted upon it. In this connection it is interesting to note that the second and third elections of Senator Edmunds by t.he Vermont legislature came without a line of correspondence or a word of personal communication by or from him. In new order to explain the exception that Senator Edumunds made in his rigid rule regarding his non-partici-pation in the question of patronage, there should be a brief recital of a little political history. The new and united kingdom of Italy had been perfected between 1559 and 1861. One of the first diplomatic questions brought to the attention -of President Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward was this: Who, in all the United States, is the best qualified to serve as the first minirter from the United States to the United Kingdom of Italy? Secretary Soward was persuaded that a man of scholarly attainments, as well as of some political activity, should be appointed, and In line with this opinion, he finally recommended to President Lincoln the name of George P. Marsh of Vermont. During most of the forties, Mr. Marsh had been a member of congress, from which he had ro-

that Mahone was betraying the party with which he had always been allied, was faithless to the interests of the south and had jjeen lured by unworthy ambition. When Mahone began to reply he advanced down the aisle until he stood directly facing Senator Hill. His was the most extraordinary personality ever seen upon the floor of the senate. In spite of themselves senators could not help smiling at the eccentricity of that personality. But they forgot their smiles when, shaking an attenuated and bony finger, to the accompaniment of the waving lace that surrounded his wrist, Mahone, instead of defending himself, made vigorous counter-attack upon Hill. Late that afternoon Senator Mahone, With Senator John P. Jones of Nevada, reached his hotel in Washington General Mahoke found his little daughter, who was about twelve years of age, awaiting him in the parlor. j The child was plainly frightened. She had heard that there had been a desperate battle in the senate betwcen hei* father and Senator Hill. She rushed to her father, overjoyed

Mrs. Stowe Helped Florida

She Was the First Northern Person j to Draw World-Wide Attention to That State’s Magnificent Climate and Opportunities. l(i the mid-spring of 1883, I was a passenger upon a steamboat scheduled to run from Jacksonville, Fla., up the St; John’s river to Stanford, located at tjhe end of steamboat navigation on the river. To make the trip required a journey lasting from about seven o’clock in the evening until noon the nejjt day. Among the passengers "was E. K. Foster, Jr., son of a distinguished lawyer of New Haven, Conn., who was in his ehrly life a very prominent Republican and a warm personal friend of Abraham Lincoln’s. E. K. ■ Foster. Jr., was one of the pioneers, so to speak, who went from the north ’ to Florida soon after the close of the ! Civil war. He foresaw' the possibilij tiefe of Florida as an orange producj ing state and had, made a venture in | an orange plantation. Around Mr. Foster, on the steamer’s | deck, collected a number of the pasi seiigers, w r ho were much interested as he pointed out various orange groves i that lined the banks of the river, told I of:their ownership and spoke of some ! of the difficulties which the early de--1 velopment of the orange growing business in Florida had met with. “But the most interesting by- far of the orange groves upon the river,” Mr. Foster said, “is one that is located near Mandarin. I never see it j without thinking of the extraordinary ! significance associated with its own-

s.gned to become minister resident at Constantinople; he had traveled extensively in Europe, and at the time o i Mr. Lincoln’s advent to the presidency had gained a wide reputation as an author and a scholar. Impressed by Secretary Seward’s line of reasoning and his recommendation, Mr. Lincoln nominated Mr. Marsh as minister to Italy, in spite of the fact that there were a good many out andout politicians who were anxious for the appointments. From 1861, until his death in 1882, Mr. Marsh remained in Italy as the American minister. His diplomatic sfervice as minister vvas the longest attained by any citizen of the United States. Grant, at the beginning of each of his administrations, and Hayes the beginning of his, were beset by the political friends of this or that politician ready to serve his country as minister to Italy.' But it was always found that Senator Edmunds, breaking his rule not to ask for patronage, had sponer reached the ear of the president ahd secretary of state than any of the applicants for the mission. Following the inauguration of Garfield, the pressure became unusually heavy on the president to name another than Mr. Marsh to represent us at the Quirinal; among other arguments advanced the president was told that Mr. Marsh had been minister to Italy for twenty years, that that was honor enough for any man, and he ought to be willing to retire. At the height of ibis pressure Mr. Edmunds for the third time disregarded his policy touching patronage and said a few words to the president in behalf of his old friend and relative by marriage. George P. Marsh. These words were sufficient; Mr. Marsh remained as minister until his death the following year. And when he died all Italy united in testimonials appreciative of his Service not only as minister, but as a who was familiar with the Italian history and language, and last but net least, as a man.

to find him safe. Then her fear came back to her. “Papa,” she asked, anx iously. “the papers say that Mr. Hill and some other senators are bound to destroy you. What are you going to do?” “Well, you can ask Senator Jones who has come home with me,” Sena tor Mahone replied soothingly, as he held the child in his arms. “He tells me that I waltzed over to the southern side of the senate and couldn’t find a partner, so I had to do mj dancing all alone. And I did.” “But what are you going to do, papa, if they attack you again?” the little girl asked, tremulously. Senator Mahone cuddled his daughter to his brqast. He smiled tender, ly. Then fie answered: “Well, in the army, I always knew how' to take care bf myself and my command in the face of the enemy, and I tell you now, my little girl, that your papa will know how to take care of himself in the senate. Now, ruD and get ready for dinner.” Comforted by his words, the child went happily away. But her fathei never had an opportunity to take care of himself, for not again was he attacked.

ership. It is the grove that was bought by Harriet Beecher Stowe Within it stands her winter home, 01 did as long ago as her health and that of her husband, Professor Stowe, permitted them to make the journey every winter from New England to Flop ida. “The special significance to which 1 refer lies in the fact that Mrs. Stowe was really the first person of the north to fix the attention of the north upon the magnificent winter climate ol Florida and the opportunities that were opening to that state to engage in successful rivalry with the West Indies and with Italy for command ol the market in the United States foi oranges. “Others came to Florida from the north before Mrs. Stowe did; it is my recollection that she bought the orange grove and built the house which stands in its enter about 1867. But it was the national,, the worldwide reputation of Mrs. Stow'e that caused her choice of Florida as a winter residence, and her enthusiastic be lief in the future of the state as an orange producing region, to fix attention upon Florida. “Her venture here, too, was one ol the first of the proofs offered to the country and the w'orld at large that ultimately there would be complete reconciliation between the north and the south and that it wovrtd be dae in large part to the development of the resources of the south by means ol northern capital. “When it became known that Mrs, Stowe had bought this orange grove, many persons in the north said that she would be likely to suffer a good deal in the way of social ostracism and by various other manifestations which would show that in the south she was looked upon as one of the fomenters of the Civil war through the publication of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’ Mrs. Stowe, however, had not the slightest apprehension on this score. She said she knew the people of the south, was conscious of the fact that they were warm-hearted, generous and broad-minded, and so felt no anxiety. “She met with exactly the reception she expected. She was welcomed by the people of Florida. She was treated with respect, and after a while there was general acknowledgment ol the fact that by coming to Florida, by thus calling attention to the possibilities of the state as an orange growing community, she turned the tide in the state from the ebb of despair and demoralization towards the flood of prosperity which within a few years came to it. But it is a little singular, isn’t it, that Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ should have been the one person in all the United States to do that?” (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) The Masterful Borrower. “Yes,” sighed gentle little Mrs. Wil dur, “I do wish Mrs. Nerbett wasn’t quite such a masterful woman about borrowing t do need my irons so much.” “Won’t she send them back?” asked the sympathetic caller. “No, she won’t. What was it she said when you went for ’em today, Marielda?” “I spoke just as easy to her and said: ‘Good n'orning, Mis’ Nesbitt. Ma says could she have the irons a little while? She’s making a dress, and needs ’em to press.’ And she answered me just as short, and said: “ ‘No, she can’t! And you tell your ma that she knows perfectly well that pressing a dress, which I doubt if she’s making one at all, isn’t half a t important as doing a family washing and ironing, and not to send me any more such foolish messages, either."' “I reckon I shall have to make out without them," sadly concluded Mrs Wildur.—Youth’s Companion.

HAD BEEN SILENT SUFFERER Subordinate Officer the Recipient of Hints Intended for His Superior. A sea captain’s wife tells this story of a maiden woman, sister of one of the owners of the ship on which she once made a long voyage. She had very decided opinion on most matters, and she and the captain had ipany spirited arguments at the dinner table. The captain’s wife, a meek, submissive little soul, fearing that in the heat of argument her husband might say something to offend their august passenger, was in the habit of kicking him on the shins to hint at moderation. Nevertheless, all these reminders passed unheeded. One day she administered a more vigorous kick than usual, and noticed an expression of pain flit across the face of the mate, who sat opposite her. “Oh, Mr. Brown, was,, that your shin?” she asked. “Yes, Mrs. Blaikie,” said the mate, meekly, “hit’s been my shin hall the voyage, ma’anj.”—Youth’s Companion.
