The cholce made Morton very angry at first, as Gresham was at the head of the anti-Morton taction in Indiana republican politics. He stormed a little at the president, but, when he had got away from the white house, thought the matter over again and changed his tactics. As soon as the nomination was called up In an executive session of the senate, Morton, who was a cripple, rose on his crutches and made one of the most brilliant speeches of his life, frankly saying that, although he and Gresham had foes of years' standing, and Gresham had Just been nominated over his head, yet there was not a blot on the character of the nominee, and it better lawyer in speech settled the leaked out and reac and the two men became Inse thereafter the state of Indiana.

"It is told of him that in 1866, when he was run- ning for congress against Michael C. Kerr, both candidates happened to have hit one day upon the same place and the same hour for a public meeting. An immense crowd gathered, a large share of it being made up of the political enemies of Gresham. It was that the speakers on both sides shou'd be heard, the democrats first and the republicans afterward.

THE AMENDE HONORABLE. Not long ago Judge Gresham had reason to believe that an attorney practicing in his court had not been dealing, fairly with cli- ents, and in the presence of a number of fellow lawyers he sharply reprimanded the advocate. A few days later he learned that he had been misinformed as to the facts injustice. Instead of calling the lawyer privately to his room to make the amende honorable, the judge waited until he saw him in court, surrounded by his fellows, and there, before all, publicly acknowledged his error and made so handsome and manly | an apology that the tears stood in the eyes of many persons in the court room before the speaker finished When asked to come ¢ for the resham said t openly as a can- presidency in 1888 Judge There s no agony like that hope or ambition.

In truth, the politicians of his nelghborhood cordially disliked him, for the rewson that he waged unrelentless war on trickery and corruption, and denounced, not the ignorant ward huckster, but the leaders who winked at or encouraged the pollution of the ballot. “It is the Pharisees who are doing this,”” Judge Gresham declared when the “blocks of five” exposure was made in Indiana in 1888. “It is the men of promi- nence and respectabllity who raise large sums of money, knowing the use that they will be put to—men who deal openly in corruption one day and go to church the next.

In the September following the firng on Sumter, Gresham rode out of Corydon, Ind., Heutenant colonel of the Thirty-eighth Indiana Volun- teers, a regiment so hurriedly recruited that the men hardly knew one end of the gun from the other. Three months later 8 re- turned home and recruited the Fifty-third Indiana, his own regiment. That the men in the command adored him is the testimony of all who survived. He was a severe dis ciplinarian, but always kind and just and never spared himself. August 11, 1863, Col- onel Gresham, on the recommendation of Generals Grant and Sherman, was appointed brigadier general and placed in command of the post of Natc ding General Crocker, His government of that turbulent city was so wise and judiclous that it is poken cf to this day, and General Gresham as scores of warm friends there among the older citizens. But his great difficulty in the district was with the cotton speculators and cotton thieves who flocked there soon after the unfon army took possession. When they found an incorruptible man In com- mand, who could have no possible lot nor part in their affairs, no matter what the ‘temptation, they resorted to every device and subterfuge to deceive him. But he e: 1ly penetrated their schemes and held me in check with a strong hand BOUNCING A COTTON SHARK. Among those sent there in the interest of cotton speculators, and who it was hoped would be able to control the general, was a noted lawyer who had been a colonel of a regiment in the battle of Shiloh. He had acquitted himself so gallantly on the fleld that he had been recommended for appoint- ment as a brigadier. He acted for a short time as such, but unfortunately for him the senate failed to confirm him, and, having been ‘mustered out as colonel of his regiment, he suddenly found himself out of the service. ie ro turned to his practice, and as attorney for the speculators came to Natchez. He made it a special part of his duty to revolve about headquarters a great deal and appear to be on intimate terms with the general; and, in deed, they had before that been good friends But General Gresham quickly saw through these maneuvers and understood that the game was to compromise him if possible His resolution was at once formed. One Tuorning when the colonel appeared as usual at headquarters in all his smiling familiarity jeneral Gresham spoke to him pleasantly and said “Colonel, our relations have heretofore been pleasant, but I think your stay in Natchez has been long enough, and I wish you to leave, and to leave today. My God! general, I can't do th plied the colonel. “Oh, yes, you can if you wish to," calm answer. General, at this tim “Colonel,” said General Gresham in his decided tone, “you shall leave Natchez to- day, and if T find you in the city at sun- down I will place you in irons and send you away." Thereupon the Interview terminated. The colonel, who was intimately acquainted with Grant, posted off immediately to Vicksburg to report the indignity that had been put upon him. He related the interview with all fullness. Grant smiled. “Did General Gresham say he would put you in irons?" he asked. “He most assuredly did. “Well, then,” sald Grant, “I would ad- vise you to keep away from him, for I have always found him a man of his word.” General Rawlins was fond of relating this story, and enjoyed it greatly BATTLING WITH DEATH. esham commanded a division marching sh Georgla and was terribly wounded at Atlanta. Prior to this misfortune he had been shot at but had escaped with a few seratches. Tho wound that shattered his left log in Georgla made up for previous fmmunity. He was carried off the fleld and conveyed to Nashville by a roundabout way to avold falling into the hands of the enemy Thirty miles of the journey were made in an ambulance. Imagine the agony to Gresham, who had had an inch and a half of bone shot away. So fearful were the roads that the stoies had to be cleared away before the ambulance could proceed; and then it was at the risk of the general's life Mrs. Gresham met her husband at Nash ville. Strangoly enough, as sho arrived at the front door of the St. Cloud hotel, Gen- eral Gresham was carried fn a stretcher through the back door. It was a fight for Nfe. Their next move came to & sudden halt at New Albany. The wounded man could go no further, and thus the Greshams became residents of Louisville's Indiana sub. urb. For ten months Gresham did not leave his bed. “One chance in a hundred, but I believe yow'll pull through,” said the sur- geon, and he was right. Had Gresham been was the is impossible, I cannot leave ing from Jay Gould and his receivers the Wabash systemn and in the Intere: of Its creditors placing those roads under the re- ceivership ot Judge Cooley is familiar to most_readers. Jut the Wabash case ls not a solitary in- stance of Judge Gresham's care for the pub- lic weal. His judgment in the “Q" strike is another example out of many of his broad- mindedness and his care for the interests of the people. He was a hard working judge practice and often held court until 7 ock p. m. He wasted no time, but ex- pedited business. For an instance of this take the Chicago & Atlantic case. The younger line had been working not only with the Erie, but with all the other great trunk lines. ~ When Presilent King of the e applied for a receiver President Jewett f the Atlantic fought the motion with all the skill the best New York lawyers could muster Juige Gresham said pointedly: “This thing must be settled. I don’t like to appoint railroad receivers, but the Erie built the Chicago & Atlantic, and it s to the interest of all that the two roads be conducted in harmony.” There was no receiver, but Jewett resigned the presidency of the Atlantic, and now there is peace. RESENTING INTERFERENCE, In the early part of 1878 two young men, sons of influential and rich parents at In- dianapolis, were arrested by United States authorities. One was Carey W. Miller, tel ler of the First National bank there. ~The other was James L. Slaughter. Miller was accused of making false entries and of em- bezzling the funds of the bank, while Slaugh- ter was charged with complicity. While the cases were belng investigated John New and a number of leading republi- can politicians of Indiana were using their influence with President Hayes to stop the investigation, which bade fair to cause trouble to a number of promin Hoosle! They succeeded to the extent of having the attorney general order a postponement of the case. The order was read to the grand jury and Judge Gresham was informed. The judge was very much enraged at what he termed the president’s unwarranted assump- tion of power. He was hearing a case in which ex-President Harrison was counsel upon one side and ex-Governor Hendricks upon the other. spending the hearing, Judge Gresham sent for the grand jury and re- peated to it the information imparted to the court. Judge Gresham then charged them that they were bound to respect their oaths, and that they could not, if they would, escape the obligations of that oath by heeding the instructions of even the president of the United States. “The president may, If he feels so in- clined,” sald Judge Gresham, “interfere even in advance of an indictment by exercising the pardoning power. In no other way has he the slightest authority to control your ction. He has it in his power to pardon the alleged offender, and, unless he Is will- ing to take that responsibility, he has no more right to control your action than has the czar of Russia. If you belleve the president's instructions to the district at- torney were intended to prevent your mak- ing the fullest examination into the matter before you and returning an indictment against the accused, If the evidence should warrant it, you should feel inspired with an additional determination to do your duty. The moment the executtve is allowed to control the action of the courts in the ad- ministration of criminal justice then their independence is gone. PUT IT IN WRITING. After the jury rotired Governor Hendricks asked the judge if he had reduced the charge to writing. have not,” answered Judge Gresham. “Then you had better put it in writing Your charge will create a terrible rumpus, and it would be better to have it in wri ing,” was the governor's advice The advice was taken. As predicted, the charge did “raise a rumpus.” Red-hot let- ters passed between the attorney general and the judge and between the judge and Presi- dent Hayes. The attorney general asked that everything said by Judge Gresham in the court room, even the minutest detalls, be made known by the district attorney. It was the intention at the time to prefer charges against the judge, but the matter was dropped. On another oceasion an important case was called _in Judge Gresham's court and the United' States district attorney announced that it would be withdrawn from the docket “By whose authority? asked Judge Gres- ham “By Instructions the reply. “But whose judge. The rejoinder was, factory. “We do not recognize the right of any- body at Washington, even the president himselt,” said Judge Gresham, “to interfere, whether by instructions or requests, in the trial of & eause before this court. Proceed with the trial of the case.” The trial proceeded and a conviction was secured HARRISON ASTONISHED. An incident that took place in his court in the 70s may not be uninteresting, inas- much as the chief actors have been fated from Washington,” was instructions asked the it not evasive, unsatis- for women, Two hundred years ago French and German dentists (if such there were) believed “if this root is put upon a tooth that aches violently it causes it to come out without pain.” The asparagus belongs to the order of Liliacaee or lilyworts, so that when we ex- claim on the Japanese custom of eating lily bulbs as a vegetable we must not forget that our own “select vegetable® is closely allied to the fragrant and bridal lily of the valley, and likewise, a family connection of the classic Asphodel, the flower of departed spirits. The mountain asparagus, gathered by Juvenal's balifi’s wife, was the wild variety, as popular in Rome as that cuitivated in the gardens of Ravenna or Nesis in Campania, and fre- quently referred to by the Apicli, Luculli and other cqually renowned connoisseurs of Roman days. In England “the habitat of the wild asparagus is marshy ground, near the sea, producti also of rushes,’ hence its name of sea asp: gus, and in the bo nical work of the seventeenth century found in sundry places, as in the marshes near Bristow. I found it growing on the cliffs at the Lezard Point, in Cornwall,” where a tiny islet Is called ‘“‘Asparagus island.” As salt air and soil seem to con- duce to the growth of the wild variety many gardeners use sea weed freely as a manure on the beds and add salt in proportion of two pounds to the square yard. In every country of Europe it grows freely, even to the banks of the river Euphrates. On the salt steppes of Russia and Poland it is so prolific that the horses and cattle graze on it, so that it is veritably ‘‘grass,” but it Is to Frarce we must turn to find it cultivated to perfection and sold at a price within the reach of all purses. The Parisian artisan can feast on it frecly for half a franc, and the poorest student in the Quartier Latin gets a dainty plateful for his 5 cents Here in America It can be produced to per- fection and in the greatest abundance, and et the price, though low, is not so cheap as in France. But to the British workmen and indeed to the great mass of the people, it is still the “select vegetable,” at a pro- hibitive price Our most popular variety is the Asparagus Sativus of Linnacus, but the Asparagus Albus is also freely culfivated. The Moors and Arabs eat this white asparagus raw and, like the Greek and Romans, also apply the name asparagus to the young and edible shoots of many other plants. As to the cooking, Augustus's proverb of “Quicker than asparagus should be boiled,” still holds good. The common plan of laying the bundle horizontally in a saucepan and boiling quickly is much improved upon by tying the stalks together with clean cotton tape, standing upright In a wire basket placed in a saucepan of sharply boiling water, which covers the stems, but not the tender green heads. In this way the heads are sufficiently cooked by the steaming, whilst the stalks are softened and made more_eatable by boiling an extra five min- utes, which can be done in this fashion without making the vegetable sodden. One of the severe tests of a good cook is to serve asparagus 5o that it may look whole aud dainty and the toast crisp and not water- soaked. Tho respective merits of oil and melted butter as a dressing has engaged the serious attention of many a gastronome, and will continue to have their respective admirers. In classic days butter was unknown, and on the Continent to this day the oil and vinegar dressing bears oft the palm. The well known story of the poet Fontenelle, it oft repeated, may once more appear as il- lustration. Fontenelle had invited his hon ored friend, the Abbe Terrasson, to dine and share his asparagus. Knowing that his prospective guest pre- ferred the new fashioned melted butter sauce, he hospitably ordered his cook to prepare halt with butter and half with oil. But instead of the expected guest arrived a mes- senger to tell of the abbe’s sudden death, and Fontenelle, before questioning him first rushed anxiously to his cook calling, “All with oil now!” and returned to send mes- sages of condolence and sympathy to the abbe's friends. As there are many versions of this story, Cardinal Dubois being also named as the but- ter loving gourmet, we might reasonably doubt the varacity of the whole. Last, but by no means least, comes the im- portant question of etiquette to the man- ner of eating this popular vegetable May we eat it with our fingers, or must we eat it aided by our forks? It is too mo. mentous a question for one or even many individuals to decide, so to the proverbs of the most diplomatic language we shall turn and find reply in “Each to his taste.” But, and it becomes an expansive but, we might add, that like cheese on a knife, as- paragus, with chicken bones and the luscious “rozzen” ear, may be eaen au naturel only when strictly en famill Workmen at Thelr Dance.

Every indication seems to show that'it will be one of the greatest events in the ‘aistory of the order, as well as of the city. ‘As the order is a braska institution, the members will urge the business men of the city and the citi- zens to decorate their buildings and resi dences with the emblematic colors, the red, white and black, and with the motto of the order. Those who have the matter in charge esti- mate that the number who will be in line will exceed 2,000. Invitations have been is- sued to the lodges of Iowa, Nebraska and other states to be present and many have accepted. Delegations will come from Des Moines, Sioux City, Atlantic City, Creston and other points in Towa, and from Lincoln, Beatrice, Falls City, Seward, Salem, Verdon, Stella and other towns in this state. Com- mittees have been appointed to meet these visiors at the depots and take them in charge. The sovereign officers have been invited and carriages will be provided for them. The procession will be formed In stx divi- sions, with 300 or 400 Woodmen in each and with a band at the head. The principal streets of the city will be paraded and then the line of march will extend to Hanscom park, which the park commissioners have permitted to be used as the place for hold- ing the ceremonies. This latter is to consist of the utterance of the ritual of the order over a monument. It will be exemplificl by the sovereign officers, assisted by Alpha camp’s excellent quartet The grave of every deccased member of the order is marked by a monument and committees of from three to five have al- ready been appointed to visit all the ceme- teries and decorate the graves of members This will be done in the morning. The whole affair is in the hands of John G. Kutn, C. P. Leary and F. W. Wallwey, who have been named as the committee on arrangements.
