For this anecdote the Hun. John J. Van Allen Is authority, says a eorres pendent of the N. Y. Nun: Long Tom Davis of Owego, N. Y., was a lawyer of unusual aud conceded ability, an ardent republican, an en thtislaatlo admirer of President Lincoln, and, during the latter year of the war, valuable member of the New York legislature. In 1MH4 he went lo Wash ington, and while there railed on the lit In irealdent with the intelitlou nf oriliels- a a certain Hue of nolley. the exisidl In eucy of which was th lien tiuesllotieu ny ninny pnirioiie ciiixon. Besides being tall eiiough to warrant the use of tha phenomenal adjective by which h was distinguished frutn al) shorter Tom Davlses, he was a man of somlicr temperament and singular gravity of mauner. Life for him was too short and serious for a smile; and being, for this among other reasons, quite Incapable of understanding the character uf Mr, Lincoln, he returned from the capital amused and pained by th conviction, which he did uothesltat to express, that our illustrious president was a little better that a buffoon. "Why, vou greatly astonish ma, Mr. Davis,1' said a gentleman to whom he oommuuleated the Impression of the president. "I thought you were oneuf Ills warmest supiHirters. " "Well, I'll tell yon." was the reply, "just how he received me ami you can judge for yourself. Having been In troduced to hhn In terms most flatter ing as a stanch republican and ofllclcut member of the legislature, I began to make the suggestions I bad In mind, whereiiKin the president eying m thoughtfully Inquired: "Mr. Davis, how mil a mau are you?'" "I replied that I was six feet two lnehca,upou which he rejoined: 'Why, are you as tall as that? Come, let me see,' and, backing me against the door, lis took a enell, marked my height nn the jamb and afterward his own, th two marks being close together, "We're preiiy nearly of aslse,' said he, 'But, Davis, I think my foot I longer than yours.' So he Insisted on measuring my feet, after w hich he be gan to discuss our weights and the slr.e uf our chests aud arms. "lu this way, with these trivial com parisons and conjectures, he look tip all tuy time, fully llfteeu minute, un til a man came in who applied for a clerical position in one of the depart ments on the strength of having lot a hand in the service of his country. "Oh, you go and see Seward,' snld the president, '1 don't know anything about your hand; you may have 'lost it lu a steel trap,' "Now," concluded Mr. Davis, earn estly, "tin you think he hits the requisite uiguity lor so nig ii an oiiicer The Interview, of which the forego ing Is a mere outline, seems deliriously amusing rrotn the fact that Air. Davis, patriot and statesman that lie wits, had not the remotest appreciation of the humor of the Incident. 'The president. burdened and worn, bowed by Ids At- laiilean load of responsibility, and wearied by a bug day work, was In no mood to go over with his visitor ground frequently traversed before, iierhaits In protracted cabinet-debates. I'ervelviug that air. Davis was a mun of nearly his own build, ho foutid lu this topie an eeitio from a discussion be dreaded. It was this ability to mo mentarily lay aside his dignity in laugh or a boyish prank which enabled Mr. Lincoln to stand up under his weight of care, and it was this which rendered In in such au enigma to the saturnine Mr. Davis. One of Stetson' Whims. John Stetson, who was mannger of Booth's Theater and the Fifth Avciiuo Theater some year ago, hasn't very much of artistic in his makeup, but he has a good de.il of hut he rails "horse sense." He doesn't Intend that any actor shall get tho best of him. Soma years ago a eontlo opera, called "Pip- pens," was produced at his theater in Boston, the Ulobe, and in the course ut the performance u aamatetir actor who has become quite well known as a manager since then appeared on the stage, clad In white furs and ntado up to represent an Immense cat, ami "miaued" and capered about tho stage lor something like ten minutes, J hi little ecialty did not take well with the first night' audience, and Stetson at once ordered pussy out of the cast. The amateur demanded a week's sal ary at once, saying that he hud been engaged for a full week. "Very well," said Stetson, "come around to-morrow night, aud through the week, and earn It. T he young man appeared the second night, ami remained on the stngxi un til the curtain fell. Then ho turned to go, but Mr. Sletsou stopped him. "Oct Into your costume and give your iierformaueo," said the manager, "But Mr. Stetson, the jHsrfuriuuiioo is over." "Never mind the rest of the show. You ltnvo got to do your part of It now for me." And so the actor had lo "niluii and caper" for ten mluutes with Stetson s the only auditor. The next night he tried to beg off, and offered to give up a proportional part of the salary, but Stetson held him to the agreement to play the part of Puss for a week. Sometimes the mannger remained to witness tho young man's efforts, and sometimes he kept a group of stage hands as au audience. The actor thought that he had fully earned hi salary when ho got It.
