Frightful Dreams and all ‘ MR. BRLJCE AND CAPT. LATHERS. ' Born a Slave, He Easily Overcamo Raca Prejudice. On one of hls latest visits to New ‘ York Mr. Bruce told of an experience ' which he had just after he was elected Senator from Mississippi, and it was an experience which illustrates the-tact andgood sense which always charac- terized him, and which explained much of'th‘e success and respect which he . gained by his public life in Washing- ‘ ton. It was announcedythat the Sena; Mississippi home by one of theMissis- 'sipp‘i steamboats, at least as far as St. "Louis," on" his way. The captain, a. ' man of the name of.La.thers,wasa ‘.typ- ' , lcal Mississippi steamboat captain, and ' he was terported to have said that he would“ show the black Senator when - he got aboard, of his boat that he .would have to keep hisplaceon that boat, and if he put on any'airs because he happened to be Senator, the cap- tain would teach him manners. As soon as Bruce boarded the steam— boat he sought‘ the captain; and he said'to him, “Captain Lathers, I am going'to Washington, and a. part of the way as passenger on your, steamboat. My nameds BruCe,.an_d possibly you have heard of me. What I Wanted to say is that I know perfectly well what the feeling of manyosp'eople who are travelers regardingzp'ersons of my color ls. They cannot' help it. and I cannot help it, and I am going to give them am a passenger on your boat, I simply ask you that you see to it that I am made as comfortable as possible and I son for complaint.” . The bluff captain stepped back a. pace or two, looked Bruce over, and then held out his hand, and said, with great emphasis: “By —-—-, you shall sit at my table; you shall sit on my right hand on the entire trip and if any man objects he will have to fight me. A man who can talk as you have, and who is as fair as you are, is a. — sight better fitted to - be a. United States Senator than some of the white Sena- tors I have carried on this boat,” and on that entire trip of some three days the captain made Bruce his guest. V. The same quality served Bruce ad- mirably in the Senate and it was one of the most impressive of Washington sights to see the mulatto Senator and his colleague the aristocrat Lamar, walking daily'together up the avenue to the Capitol. Lamar, the scholar, the orator, the fine type of Southern chivalry and cultivation,-had the high- est respect for Bruce and preferred his companionship in the daily walks' to and from the Capitol to that of any other Senator. Afterward when La- mar became Secretary of the Interior, Bruce went to see him, and said that he had procured a good many appoint- ments in the Interior Department; in fact, a. good many more than his share, and he had come to see his former col- league so that he might take counsel with him in respect to such action in the way of removals as Lamar might have in mind. Thereupon, Lamar said to him: “Bruce, not one of the men who have tion shall be removed while I am here, except for Such cause as would make you remove thc'dn yourself if you were Scretary of the Interior.—Phi1ade1phia Press.

But every time he was about to'pull it the pa- tlent shut his mouth. The dentist whispered to his assistant to get a pin. and go quietly behind the chair, and dash the pin right into the calf of the man's leg.

Denmark's kings for 384 years have all been named Christian or Frederick. This-is not the result of accident. It is the law of Denmark that Christian must be succeed-ed by Frederick and Frederick by Christian. To attain this end without the changing of names in case of death or other reason every Danish prince, no matter what other names he may receive, always includes Christian and Frederick among them.
