Senator Matt Carpenter was doing chores for 
Governor Dillingham, of Vermont, forty-five years 
ago. 
Apostle Frank Murphy, now In ’Frisco, has rais¬ 
ed his voice against the Chinese. He visited Chi¬ 
natown soon after his arrival on the coast, and de¬ 
clares the Mongolian quarters a burning shame 
and disgrace. 
The grandfather of Henry James, Jr., the novel¬ 
ist, was a keen-witted Irish immigrant who had 
eleven children, and provided all cf them with a 
fortune out of his own accumulation of several 
million dollars, derived In part, from the Syracuse 
salt works. 
Mr. Colfax tells the following story of President 
Lincoln: “On one occasion during the war he was 
closeted with three geuerals when General Tom 
Thumb was announced. Turning from the busi¬ 
ness of the interview, the President gave instruc¬ 
tions for the Immediate admission of the dwarf. 
On the latter's entrance Mr. Lincoln turned his 
back on the three generals, and after greeting his 
new visitor, held him in conversation for several 
minutes, much to the chagrin of the onicers. On 
the dwarf’s departure, one of the generals ventur¬ 
ed to remark that Torn Thumb was a very small 
man, whereupon the President replied: ‘Mygen¬ 
erals, judging by results, are considerably small¬ 
er.’ ”
