Who Was Governor.
Many years ago William II. Seward
when governor of New York, took a
seat by the driver on the outside of a
stagecoach running to one of the in
terior town.
The driver thought his pussenger
wa. a little out of ,he ordinary run?
and had a curiosity to know who and
wh' h " So. after a while, he
asked him whether he was a travel
ing preacher, to which the governor
responded "No." I ,ne cour o(
the next hour he suggested other oc
IT'i. .1' f h" P"nr. to all of
which the governor responded, "No "
At last hi curiosity became so strong
that he .aid: "Well, stranger, what
ar. you, anyhow!" Mr. Seward an
swered "governor." "Governor of
whatT' said the driver. "Governor
of New York." "ait out." said th.
driver, "you can't come that en m.."
Just then they were entering a little
village, and the governor saw ahead,
by the side of th. road, a man whom
he knew. "Well, when you get along
to that man standing there, pull up
for a minute." So the driver pulled
up hi horses and Mr. Seward said to
the man: "Am I th governor of New
York, Mr. B f" . 'No," replied
the man. Mr. Seward, considerably
astonished, said: "Than who Is?"
"Thurlow Weed."
The above dory cuggest to us that
the apparent and real governor are
not always th same.
