Recollections or a Man Who Served Ills Slate 3fany Years Ago. Hon. David Fisher is the oldest es cougressman in tbe United States, being in the ninety-first year of his age. Mr Fisher served in the war of 1812, and soon after married, taking his bride to a small house one mile from the cabin in which General Grant was born. He loves to dwell ou the life of General Grant, whose birth he remembers. He tells of dancing with the general's mother when she was Miss Hanna Simpson, aud before Jessie R Grant had court ed and wedded' her. The old com mander was a personal friend of old Tom Corwin, and stumped the state during the hard cider campaign in 1810, at which time he was a Yhig. In 1816 he was elected to tho thir tieth congress, serving oue term and refusing a re-nomination. The lam ented Lincoln was a member of tho same congress, and the two becamel fast menus, rooming together for some time in a boarding house where there were formed relations that were only dissolved by Lincoln's death. Or Lincoln's character he says: ''He was tho most lovable public man I ever met, and like me did not retr-n to congress, but, unlike me, a 1 tv years after becamo tho greatest mn of the age and the savior of the Un ion. I strongly advocated his nom ination for tho presidency at the Chi cago convention, and his winning the prize there was porhaps the first step toward the regeneration of our laud. Before the war, while traveling in the west, I spent three days at his bouse in bpnnglield, and one even ing, remarking that I had not received tho congressional dictionary, for which I had subscribed and paid, Mr. Lincoln said: 'Take one of miue; I have two; and yon will see that it speaks better of yon than it does of me. In answer to a question relat ive to the death of ex-president John Quincy Adams, tho old commander replied with evident emotien: "Ad ams was, next to Mr. Liucoln, tho grandest man I ever met. His seat in the house was directly opposite mine, only a narrow aisle separating our desks. The ex-president was very old and for years quite feeble, having a slight touch of paralysis. One dav, just before Washington's birthday, in 1818, Mr. Adams half rose up from his seat and suddenly pnt his hand to his head, whereupon I ioae uujrpm my desk and caught him in my7rrm5dst"roSire:;was sink ing.' The'houso was in an uproar, but in an instant the word was passed rouuu that Adams was dying and im mediately members came to my aid aud we carried the fallen statesman into tho speaker's room, where three das later the mortal spirit of 'tho old man eloquent had gone to us Maker. He never spoke after falling into my arms, save that historical ejaculation uttered just pre vious to his final dissolution." Mr. Fisher was identified with tho Hon. Salmon P. Chase in the organization of the Republican party. He now resides with a married daugh ter, whoso residence is a most beau tiful one and not five miles from the place where he took his brido so many years ago. In form he is stately and impressive, but has been blind for twenty years. Speaking of social life in Washington, ho says the finest entertainment he ever attended was Senator Benton's party to his son-in-law; General Fremont, on his return irom the Mexican war. Col umbus Herald. A SWEDISH GORiVA. How a Erave Maiden Outwitted a Kins and Saved Her People. Tho 2nd of February in Sweden is considered the midwinter day. In the era of Paganism it was a great festival in honor of Uig heroiuo Goa or Goja, defined under the namo of Disa, to whom tho whole month was consecrated besides. It is stated that at ono timo when the countrj was visited by a frightful famine, the national assembly decided that in order to relievo the general distress it would bo necessary to put to death a part of the population, especially the old and infirm. Goa alone dared to protest loudly, and claimed to bo able to propose a meaus of remedying the dearth, which would prove more efficacious as well as more humane. Tho king ordered the execution of the decree to be .postponed; but in the interim, desiriug to test the sa gacity of tho young girl, and to con found her audacity, he sent her word he would only receive her on condi tion that sho would come to his dwell ing neither on foot nor on horseback, nor in a vehicle, neither by day nor by night. Goa solved tho enigma. She came to the king's liouso on a sledge drawn by a goat, holding on to the side of tho sledge, with one leg resting on tho polo of the sledge, the other on the goat She wore a fishing net only in lieu of garments, and she came exactly at tho epoch of the sol stice when the month is still undeter mined, at the time of a full moon, but wnne u was yet twuiguc juemg per mitted to speak, she advised that the old and infirm, in lieu of being ex terminated, should bo merely sent to the still unpeopled parts of tho coun try, where they would be able to ob tain tho means of existence without being any burden to tho community. The king liked tho advice, and as the adviser had charmed him by her beauty and her wit, ho took her for his wife. r . HENRI ROCKEF ORT. Tho death of the communist, Ohas. Amouraux, gave M' Henri Bochefort an opportunity to address the com munists who had assembled to do tho last honors to their comrade at the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. The ef fect of a speech by Bochefort upon such inflammable material, coupled with the death of Hugo can easily be imagined, aud cro long a riot oc curred which tho police wero called upon to subdue. Many of tho papers demanded tho arrest of Bochefort, fearing the result of his ill advised harangues. Bochefort (Comte), Vic tor Henri do Bochefort Lucay is the son of Marquis Claudo Louis Mario do Bochfort Lucay, and was born in Paris, Jan. 30, 1830; he studied at tho college of St. Louis, where he evinced a decided tasto for poetry. After attempting to study medicine and to pain a livlihood by teaching Latin, lie was in 1851 appointed a clerk in the Hotel do Yillo. Paying moro attention to literature than to this humble employment, ho con tributed to tho second edition of the "Dichonnaire de la Conversation." He was appointed sub-inspector of fine arts at Paris, which post he re signed in 1861. Iu 1S53 ho became one of the principal writers of the Figaro. His satirical comments on passing events in the columns .of the Figaro and his caustic criticism of tho men and measures of he second empire made the nam of Henri Bochefort . peculiarly ohnoxions to the authorities. Iu iSGOLc was elect ed a deputy. In the. ohambers he rendered hiuiseK notorious by the coarae icss of his personal attacks on the emperor. In December, 1SG9, he started the Jlarscillai-sr, a newspaper, the character of which is sufficiently indicated by its title; it was seized in 1870 and Mr. Bochefort arrested and couiined for six mouths. On the pro clamation of theBepublican3 Septem ber 1870 ho was placed at the head of a department of slate, bnt soon re signed his appointment. During the brief triumph of the commune ho edited an infamous journal, tho Mot iTOrdre. Various charges wero brought against him iu connection with this paper, aud he was" arrested and sentencad to imprisonment for life. He was taken to tho penal set tlement of New Caledonia. In 187-1 he, with several other note'd commu nists succeeded in escaping to Syd ney, thence going to Queenstown and afterwards to London. Leaving Lon don he proceeded to Geneva whero he founded a new Lanterne. The gen eral amnesty of July 11th, 1880, per mitted him to return to Paris, where he assumed the direction of tho new radical paper called JSInlransigcant. For articles which appeared in this paper tho government began legal proceedings against, him, but he was acquitted. From s Sense of Uaty. Some people shrink from making public the bsnofit they have received while others are freo to tell it abroad for the good of follow mortals. Of the latter kind is Mr. J. it. Coppuck, of Mount Holly, N. J., who writes, 'I am one of many who give their cheerful appreciation of tho merits of the- Pllicacy of your valuable Brown's Irou Bitters from a sense of duty. This bitters is doing much good in our count r3, for which I can vouch." B. L. Cropley of Washington, has been appointed collector of customs at Georgetown, D. C. Cropley is the man who proposed tho following sen timent after Lincoln's assassinatien: ''Here is to the man who pulled the trigger that killed the man who freed tho nigger." Are You Tired of Ecin Sick ! We want to say a word to the men, women and girls who work in stores, offices and factories. Thero are hun dreds of thousands of you in tho conntry.
