Anecdotes or Mr. Lincoln.
Our first published account of the laconic
despatch from General George H Thomas
to President Lincoln, having been so eagerly
copied by our cotemporaries, and having
been frequently importuned by - difl'erenl
persons to publish other “jokes” and witty
sayings of our martyred President, which
have not heretofore appeared in print, We
have concluded to narrate thorn time to time,
some of the more pointed ones :-- .
The following will do, which the Prest-
dent told us, with much glee, that he had
got of on Brandsgee, who was then the
Member for the 3d District. It seems that
Brandagee was earnestly in favor of Henry
Hammond’s being appointed U.S. Marshall.
while certain other members of the Connect
icut delegation . opposed. But Brands-
gee had a way of working for his friends,
and after going over all of Hammond's good
qualities and cliims, pretty vehemently, cul-
minated by the question, " Now, Mr. Presi-
dent, mayn’t I rely upon your appointing
Hammond?” “Well, Brandagee, respond-
ed Mr. Lincoln, do you mean to force me to
a decision now?" “ Of course I do,” re-
sponded the resolute little Congressman.
“ Well, then Brandagee, I’ll have to, answer -
by telling a little story.” -
“ Out in our town of Springfield, some
years ago, a thick-headed, and very con-
ceited young fop of a lawyer, dropped down
upyt us and opened his office. He waited
1038 and patiently for a " cries,” and finally
caught a victim , who had a cause to come
before “13 V3.1 tge justice, who was a wag in
in his W1? an] had an eye upon the green
legal fifedgling. At daylight next morning.
the young lawyer called at the ’Squire’s
house and getting him up and aside, said he
had come thus early on a most. confidential
errand. In fact, he had got his flrrt 'case,
and before it was brought into open court
he thought he would come down and sec-
. himr‘rivately about it, as it being his first
case, it was of the utmost importance that
he win the case. and therefore he had come
to fix it in a slrictl; confidantial way be‘ere-
hand. “All right,” said the Squire,'enteriug
into the spirit ( f the affair withreeming eu-
thusiam. “ Now state all the points in your
case and I’ll listen.” The assured attorney
went over it with an air of triumph and
waited for the Justice’s decision. “ Well,
my friend, I must say, as you state the case,
I should be compelled to decide against
you!” “What, Squire!” You don'tsay so i”
t‘ Yes, I couldn’t help it as you state it, but
than I don’t know but the other side might
help you out so I could stand by you.”
Mr. Lincoln either upon hearing or telling
a good story, laughed all over, and Brands-
gce soon discoverej that it was for the story
and not the moral, that the President had
run it off for, H immond was appointed
That Br! ge Again.
That legal knot having been so for uni
tangled between the Borough and Town
authorities as to cause proposals to be issued
for the building of the Bridge over what is
known as “ Brady’s Crossing,” the public.
or perhaps more correctly the tax-payer:
and property owners in the vicinity, have.
been at the pains to examine the lay out 0;
said Bridge. and the line and angle upos.
which it was proposed to erect the same.
And as a matter of course, it is found to be.
like most other similar enterprises essayed
in Norwalk, so located as to cost the mos
possible amount in money, and when dent
to afford the least possible amount of public
accommodation. The pell-mell mode 0
voting Bridges and Highways in N orwalk
is almost unbearable, and grows out of out
having no established highjvg1_linflt~md_
grades or recognized engineer whose reports
may, in every case, precede these enterprises.

Editorial Correspondence.
'ro THE antenna.
At six All. Of one of Ca’lifornia’s‘sunnicil
mornings, we embarked on board the steam-
er New World for Vallejo, (pronounced-
Vallayo). having bid adieu to our comforta-
ble home at the Lick House and checked
our baggage back to Sacramento to await
our homeward bound return from the MOHL'
taius. A delightful sail of two and a half
hours, and a capital' breakfast included.
brought us into San Pablo Bay and to the
Vallejo landing, where we took the cars 01
the Nappa Valley Railway for Calistoga,
about 50 miles mountainward. The Nappn
Valley is one of the most noted wheat and
fruit growing regions of ' the State. The
line -: f the railroad is studded with planta-
rations and the country seats of rich mer~
chants and others from San Francisco, and
endless vinyards which were just in the
heighth of their vintage. There are some
half dozen little hamlets on the line of the
road before we reach its terminus, Calistogr.
Our train consisted of three passenger cars,
filled with excursionists, business men and
shoppidg ludics,—for strange as it may ,
seem, the ladies three thousand miles across
the Continent, enjoy that quuisrte female
attainment equally ‘with'their Eastern sis-
ters. One of the native passengers iuformen
us that he had thirty acres of Malaga Grapes
now ripening which. he was sure would
yield him over three tons to the acre, and
he had been down to, Frisco to see if he
couldn’t sell them at half a cent -a pound!
l‘his story we were prepared to believe for
on either side of the track were vines trail-
ing upon the ground and literally “groan-
ing" with their load of ripe and perishing
fruit. Two, open platform cars, ahead of
our baggage car, were loaded ten feet high,
with boxes containing from one to three
bushels each of the native or Spanish Raisin
Grapes. These boxes were without covers,
and so common is the fruitthat no one cared
to touch them, although much sweeter and
richer in sacharino flavor than any grape
known to our Eastern markets. Our party
were urged by one "Grapeist," to eat all we
could of his part of the cargo, which solic-
itation was liberally complied with. These
car loads of grapes go up three times a day
to the stills at Calistoga, from whence the
best wines and brandies come to the At-
lantic States. _ _
Calistoga is the Saratoga of California.
The village is nestled romantically and
sweetly between two lattsral mountain ridg-
as, and numbers, possibly some thousand to
fifteen hundred population. The proprietor
of the principal distillery is also owner of
the Springs and the Spring Mansion House.

.ort for invalids and pleasure-seekers from
all parts of the world, and is a novelty in
its way. The principal caravansery is real-
ly nothing but a dining hall, hotel office,
reading room and reception room. A broad
covered porch or shed full thirty feet wide, en-
sures protection from the sun and gives a ro—
mantic appearance to the Swiss-like central
edifice. Surrounding this, and fronting a
circular roadway, are some twenty-five or
thirty neat and very tastefully built single

mile, but far from being tedious. The clear,
limpid atmosphere gives us a stretch of
panorama as here lies below, around and
afar olf, closely disking the convex horizon,
our eyes had never seen deforc.
The road up the mountain is cut into the
rock and soil of its side by private parties,
and there are over three hundred turns in a
distance of two miles. We could thinkonly
of climbing some huge cork-screw, but so
perfectly trained are our horses that Foss has
only to give the mettlesome little fellows an
encouraging word now and then, to keep
their “ minds” on their business. Foss in-
sists that his horses have “ minds" and do
as much “ thinking” as the average of hu-
mans. We confessed to a half-conversion to
his philosophy, before the day was done.
The road is so narrOw that in hundreds of
instances while the hubs on one side were
grazing the inner excavated rock, the outer
side ones projected half their length from
the spokes, over precipices from one to two
thousand feet below i To the inquiry why
the road was not cut an inch or two wider,
so all the wagon mightbe over the roadbed,
Foss replied they could not afford to waste
the money for even an inch of unnecessary
space. But as our horses were only on. a
sharp walk and seemed to pilot the stage as
unsrringly as -the master at the ship’s
helm, we centralled our nervousness while
passing the most terrifying of thes? places
by seizing either the seat or the driver's arm
with a convulsive grasp and holding our
breath, till.either the road widened, or the
abyss grew less deep and awful. An hour
bed thus been diversified between ravishing
landscape viewing and what seemed to us
..tn outraging all the laws of gravitation and
of cause and effect, when we reached the
summit. and passedover the narrow, thin,
granite crest, sliding down into deep, cavern-
ous canyons on either side cur road. This
is appropriately christened the “ Hog’s
'Bac .” At its further extremity commences
our descent. Here Foss reined up his team
and asked all to draw their watches and
take the time. Then with the single words,

steeds started down the steep, twisting, ap—
parently narrowing way on. a dead mm!
What insanity, or fool-hardy madness had
seized the man we knew not. All faces
were blanched, first with terror, then dread,
then a wild, indescribable intoxication as
down and faster the horses ran! If the
assent had been tortuous, this was doubly
so. Time and agaiuour stage seemed a full
quarter over some yawning abyss. The
horses as they ran in a sort of wild delirium
{for they enjoyed it,) careened like those in
the ring of a circus, to prevent their own
momentum from throwingthem off the edge
of the precipice! A twitch on the reins, and
an occasional “ shake ’em out,” Was the only
sign or motiQ made by Foss. He eat as
his cargo of human freight now becoming
too excited to be sensibly frightened, began
sudden, and as suddenly his horses came to

The sermon ot the morning was by the
Pastor, Rev. 0. W. GATES. The text of his
discourse- was the 28th verse of the 68th
Psalm :-—“Thy God has commanded thy
strength-z strengthen, oh, God, that which
thou hast wrought for us.” Two thoughts
were doveloped, let The powerful Christ

And rho: his pardonlng love.

does not begin to give the far-fetched vul-

the discourse was bountifully lardcd. We
think the following “ specimen bricks” will
serve as a‘sample of the whole, and if, after
being read, the “ honorable ” gentleman
is'n’t invited over here to lecture for our la
dies, we shall believe more than ever that
republics are ungrateful. Mr. Bishop, said:
“He was asked sometime since by one of
the most persistent and eloquent lady man-
agers of the Asylum, for a subscription. He
at first hesitated, as he never had any or-
phans of his own to support, and could not
see why he should be called upon to con-.
tribute to the support of other peeplcs’ .ors .
phans’ especially whep ah y would have no
opportuni y of returning the compliment
for him. She pleaded her cause most ably,
and in strains of the most touching elo-
quence she spoke of the sufferings of the or-
phan children now alive, of the generations
,of orphans yet unborn, and called his atten-
tion to the great suffering that; had been ex-
perienced during the mighty ages of the
past and present, for want of orphan asy-
lums, and referred Lim to the firs orphans,
Adam and Eve, with no institution of this
kind to protect them front the snakes in the
grass. He then promised her that at some '
future time he would give them a lecture,
and from that time to this, she had iven
him no peace day nor night, but had fo low-
ed him like “ the hound upon the tiger’s
track.” He stated he was aware he was en-
tering upon dangerous ground in commen-
cing the discussion of the question of “ Wo-
man's Rights and Men’s Wrongs.”
“ The superiority of woman over man as
a lecturer, would thus appear best in that
class of lectures, where the audience consist-
ed of one man, and to which newspaper re-
porters were not udmittec .” .
“ He then gave, with fine effect, a toudhing
story of a western'preacher who called at a
house on one of his tours through that coun-
try, and upon enquiring the cause of the. fil-
thy condition of the children, learned that
it was owing to the loss of their ” fine tooth
comb ;” and related how the comb was sub-
sequently found in the Bible,- which had
lain upon the catch-all for the last three
months, The moral, “ search the scriptures”
was dul enforced. The speaker also rela-
ted, in arkey dialect, an original anecdote
of a Southern negro preacher who tried
hard to impress upon his listeners the val-
ue in which God holds seven, eight and ten
hundred dollar niggers.”

He said it was the saddest sight he ever be.-
held. Sad as was this picture how infinite-
lysmore sad it is to contemplate a fellow
man being berne to his grave without one
sympathy or regret, or only one being able
to say, that the departed ever did one gen-
erous act of kindness, or lightened the bur-

departed. Among the great and aged sol
diers and sailors who have gone to their
graves, we are compelled to name Charles
Stewart (Old Ironsidcs) who passed mort
than 72 years in the service of the United
States, and General Wool, over half a cen-

Lower Gas.
We are glad to learn that our Gas Com-
pany have voted to reduce the price of gas
one dollarper M. feet, from Jan. Ist. This
will bring the price down as low as at any
town of similar size we know of, and if the
quality is not lowered also, we are confident
the Co. will see that their interests have
been promoted by the move.
WAmong the many good and wise
_things said by Fred Douglas, was the re.
mark, that while those who had informed
themselves upon the great Chinese immi-
gration problem were asking what was to be
done with this enormous influx of China-
men, the question in his mind was “ Who:
is a little to one side of this circuit. The
stables, bowling alleys and wash houses, are
beyond, but not in sight, with a postofiicc,
store, &e., near the grand entrance gate, and
near the depot and all in full view. The
entire estate must cover a. thousand acres.
A fine half-mile trotting park is established
on its northern boundary, with judges’.
stand, seals for band and spectators, all in
first-class style, and yet such is the defer-
ence ton better morality, that. this horse-
racing park is hidden from the cottages and
hotel by a jutting hill whose sides glisten-
ed all over with huge white and purple
clusters of grapes. At night the air was
heavy With the odor of roses, honeysuckles,
jessaminc and unknown flowers. - In the
hands of such men as the Lelands, or Stet-
sons. this might be made a very paradise on
earth. As it is, we have never witnessed
anything, in the way of a summer resort, so
enchantingly beautiful and lovely in all its
appointments. But as even Eden had its
drawbacks, so have the Springs at Calisto-
go. We might, to this day, have been be-
guiled with , the syreu fascinations of this
seductive fairy land, were it not for the fleas
with which the soil is peopled beyond com-
putation, and the landlord’s hills, which
beat the. fleas in exhaustive power. The
guide books put the board bills at three dol-
lars in gold per. day, we found this to be ful-
ly true, children included, and then came
in the worse than Yankee dodge of two dol-
hzrs, each, per day or night for the use of
team 1
his apology and gratefully thanked him for
the extra two minutes and a‘ quarter he had

Now this is a literal narrative of Califor-
nia mountain driving, and in no manner ex-
aggerated. We can now comprehendpoor
Mr. Greeley’s terror and distress when
“Hank Monk” put the philosopher through
a similar course of sprouts. We should be
in terror to ride over one of our most level
seeds at home, as we went down that moun-
tain steep and at every second on the verge
of some almost fathomless abyss. But so
exact was every motion‘ of the team, and so
perfect the science of guidance on the part
of Foss. that we now fairly yearnfor anolhcr
ride I What was first terror, soon became
the wildest exhileration, and never Isincc

jumped through our veins, as during that
eleven minute ride. ' B.

difference between eighteen ,dollars, gold as
advertised, per day and thirty as charged.
But landlords are so very like life-insurance
agents'and Gass men that you give them on-
ly a chance to “ argue the case ” and you are
at once rendered speechless. It pays a land-
lord,- however, just'as well as it certainly
does any other sort of a busitiess man, to be
honest in all his dealings. It is not that our
entertainment was not' worth five dollars

we, in good fortune, met the renowned
mountain driver, Foss, whOse name and
fame Colfax has made immertal. Foss
does not drive as much as formerly, but hav-
ing a large pecuniary interest in the Geyser
Mountain road, he generally arranges to
drive the representatives of the “ press”
and other notorious characters, like mem-
bers of Congress. There were several loads
in readiness to leave in the morning, after
our arrival at the Calistoga House, for the
Geysers, and we were not longln conclu-
ding negotiations for seats for our party in
his stage. Moreover, our ladies were so dc-
lighted with-their cottage comforts that they
desired to do‘the Geyser: and return the

King of drivers, to be up, have breakfast

Our route lay along a smooth, dusty,

vals of a few miles, with a comfortable
planter’s house, or miner's rude cabin. The
