UPPLEMENT TO TIIK STOKV OP THE
III UK.
From a thousand platforms on the
Pacific Slope will lie told tlnrinjr the
present campaign the anecdote of Hor
ace Greeley's rule tVom Caron to
Vlacerville. and as often as it is told
the bush-whacking orators of Democ
racy will deduct from the threadbare
story the pointless moral of " Keep
your seat, Horace, and we'll gel you
through on time ' whereat toe rabble
will applaud lustily, they know not
wherefore. We are not disposed to
steal Democratic thunder, ot to rob
any oratorical pauper ot his scanty
stock in trade; hut we are compelled
to use the anecdote in question i:i or
der to render an account of an inter
view with Greeley generally intelligi
ble. By so doing, we trust that it will
not be considered that we have want
only encroached upon the prerogatives
of Democratic stump orators. We
give
THE STOltY AS TOLD BY MARK TWAIX
As one of the exaspetatiiig incidents
of his overland trip. From the time
lie left the Platte, be says, until he ar--ived
at Carson, every stranger whom
ne encountered assured him that he
ouul tell him a mo-t laughable thing
it' he would like to listen to it, and
iroceeded with the narrative that
Ireeley went over the mail once, and
ilien he was leaving Carson City he
old tlie driver. Hank Monk, that hi
had an engagement to lecture in l'lae
rville, and was very anxious to go
dirough quick. Hank cracked bis
whip and started off at an awful pace,
i'he coach bounced up and down in
such a terrific way that it jolted the
buttons all off of Horace's coat, and
finally ,
-I n iT 11 is HEAD CLEAN" TllltOtr.lI THE
HOOF
Of the stage, and then he yelled to
Hank and begged him to go easier
-slid he wasn't m as much of a hurry
as he was awhile ago. But Hank said,
Keep your seat, Horace, and I'll get
von there on time." and von bet he
did, too, what was left of him. The
-iory became one of the standard leg
ends of the Sierra Nevada, and was
cited as a happy Illustration of plon
cr humor. Hank Monk felt himself
immortalized by it, and (Ireeley might
liave gracefully accepted the bottler
idvcntnre as a narrative in which bis
name should live long after the world
liad forgotten what he knew about
.arming.
HORACE'S ORATTTCDE.
In the Fall of 1800 we met Hank

ion of that ride fresh in Ms memory,
ml a sentiment of fellowship toward

be had passed hand in hand into litera
ire and tame. Hank requested its to
ill upon Greeley and tell him that. In
icmory of their celebrated mountain
de, he wished him to procure a pass

riends in the East, We. accepted the
.isslon cheerfully, believing it would
dy be necessary to mention to (irec
y the name of Hank Monk to have
lie request accorded. We met the
liilosopher at the Astor House, and
:iefly delivered our message. Tlie

''Damn him! that fellow has done
lie more harm than any man in Arn

.litor and deferentially represented
lint though the anecdote might lack

Replied the philosopher, "1 would

the latter is running for President.
An American Item Done In French,
It is known that tlie railroad from
San Francisco to New York passes
through the reservations of several
tribes of Indians, who iuvarable re
gard the locomotives as terrible mon
sters by the Mauitou to exterminate
the red man.
Several times already the Indians
have attempted to throw the trains off
the track. In these enterprises they
were led by one of the fiercest of their
chiefs, ft Cherokee USOIed Nana, and
surnamed Mocking Bird. All their
attempts having failed. Nana resolved

The settlers .".long the line became
terrified as they saw the train, which
now dashed alone at a fearful speed,
driven by t'n; ferocious engineer. Tlie
passengers all cried out lor help. The
situation was extremely perilous : in

of death.
Finally an officer of the navy, Hen
