GEaMTT AND Al'EY J0HNS01T. Hiory of the Dif erence Eetwsen the Fresidciit andtte Bererai o: ui Amies. New York, Oct. 20. The Hon. Chauncey M. Depew has furnished for publication tne following open letter to Colonel F. D. Grant: "New York, Oct 12. My Dear Colonel : In answer to your requet for the particulars of the conversa tion I had with your father, and to which I alluded in a speech before the Chamber of Commerce, the fol- ! lowing is my best recollection : "About four years ago, I sat be j side General Grant at dinner. There i were many courses, slowiy served. and the entertainment lasted sever- al nour9- e discussed many mat- ters suguested bv his travels around j the world, and, among other things, j he said to me ihat, when in China, Prince Kung who was Regent, and I the real ruler during the minority j of the Emperor, told him of their ! controversy with japan. War was rir g up the strife on both sides, bop-ine- to ber efit bv the war The same request was made to him on ! the part of the Japanese Govern 1 ment. to act as arbitrator, and in PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON. The narrative ot this period was one of the most graphic descriptions to which I ever lister.cd, and it is UfllortUnate lor history Btld pOSlen- . . , ' , , tV that it Can not be preserved as it ,1J IttiuH lhelfi('l COloHniT "vnS U'la- ' ' 'ln ?P 1 , -uiurinji of conversations witri and statements i l c , .1 r , u oil no by the chief actors, and o! tne situa- til fiS of parties anil perfonB 8S the , .

' I .,. ,K, ro IjUItc UB JUJMJl auj wi " ' v recorded, and I think this narrative -ml l ti : . u Will bear me OUt. Thl8 IS the SUb- utarjce of the StorV J "Johnson began, the day after the ! assasination ot 3lr. uncoin, to louu- ly proclaim at all times and places. with constant reiteration, the shib boleth : 'Treason is odious and must be punished, and the chief rebels shall be hung.' To give efiect to this sentiment, as scon as he was inaug urated he insisted upon the United Stafs Courts in Virginia findinp: in dictments against all the leading menibersof the Confederacy. He also wanted the officers in the rebel army who had left the regular army ;to join the rebellion to be summarly dealt with by court-martial. These movements cf the President prcdu ced the greatest consternation tii roughout the South. The CONFEDERATE LEADERS APPEALED TO CRAST. urotect tbem on the parole he had given. He Saw John?On on the subject, only to be informed that the President was, by the Constitu- tion, Commander-in-chief of the army, and that anything done by the Commanding General on the field was done subject to his appro val or rejection, and he rejected the terms. General Grant urged that the rebels had surrendered on these conditions, disbanded their orgaui zations,submitted universally to the situation and were carrying out in good faith ttieir part cl the agree- I ment, and every consideration oi both honor and expediency deman ded equally good faith on the part of the government. The other course would have led to an endless guerilla warfare, conducted in a country admirably adapted forit,by desperate and hopeless men. John eon obstinately adhered to bis view and assumed tha authority of com mander, when Grant finally told him that if there were to be any court-martials one must be called to try General Grant first; that he would by every means in his power protect bis parole and appeal to Con eress and the country. In the halt Restores the'called by this attitude of General ' flrart a trorv rm arlrn hl c nntsA ru. ".-j . . & w curretd in the views and policy of President Johnson.

When they plunged into rebellion hie saw his opportunity. He believed in the power of the government, and thought the time had come when he could defeat his enemies, confis cate their proferty, humiliate their pride and possibly destroy them. The absorbing ambition and passion of his life had been to be received and treated as one of them by the oligarchy. Having failed in that and s u tiered insult and indignity in the effort, he became ONE OF THE MOST VISDICTIVE of men. He saw them fail in their rebellion : defeated and impoverish ed, and now he wanted to kill them. While he was devising means to overcome Genreal GrantV resistance to this last purpose, the leaders of the old feudalism 'called upon him. They admitted their former treat ment and justified it. They said that in all ages and countries where caste distinctions existed conditions were always possible which promo ted men who had achieved success from the lower into the nobler or der. As President of the United States he became regardless or birth or ancestry, not only a member of their order, but its leader. Johnson wi-s wild with delight; ambition and pride were both satisfied. He be came as anxious to sustain and per petuate in some form a system which had given the highest social and political distinction to a few great families as he bad been to des troy it. Grant did not have long to wait for the formulation of his plan. The President sent for him and said that the radical measures of Congress were revolutionary, and would destroy the country. The war was over and the Republic wan ted peace, and that was possible only by a union of all sections The provisional governments pro vided for the seceded States were temporary expedients, without con stitutional authority, and the States had all the rights and should pos sess all the powers thev had before the war. He had perfected a scheme to accomplish this result, and with General Grant's assistance its success was assured. He would by procla mation direct the rebel States to send to Washington their full quota ot senators and ivepresentatives. He had assurance from enough members from the North, who, uni ted with them, would make a quo rum of one bouse at least, if not both. The Congress thus formed he would recognize ard install at the Capital. If the other Northern members did not choose to join they would be a powerless rump meet ing in some hall. TO THE GENERAL'S SL'GfiESTION that this would start the civil war afresh, the President replied : 'They who do it will be the rebels : but if you sustain me resistance is impos sible. He appealed to Grant to stand by him in the crisis, and they would be the saviors of the Repub lic. After edeavoring for a long time in vain to convince the Presi dent of the folly ofsuch a course and its certain failure, no matter who sustained it. Grant finally told him that he would drive the Congress so constituted out of the Capital at the point of the bayonet, give posses sion of the building to the Senators and Representatives from the loyal States and protect them. If neces sary, he would appeal to the coun try and to the army he had so re- recently mustered out of service. Mr. Johnson asked him if he did not recognize the powera vested in the President by the Constitution, and if he would refuse to obey the Comminder-in-chief. General Grant said that under Buch circumstances he most certainly would. Shortly afterwards the President sent for General Grant, and said to him lo go to the City of Mexico at once on a very important mission. The Gen eral knew that this was to get out of the country and put it in the power of the President to call, as his suc cessor.to Washington, some officer upon whom he could rely. Here plied shat if the appointment was a diplomatic one, he declined it; if it was a military one, he refused to obey, because the General of the army could not be ordered lo a for eign country with which we are not at peace. The INTERVIEW WAS A STORMY ONE. but the subject was dropped. One day the General was sent West on a tour of inspection. He knew that General Sherman was to be his sue cessor, and in him he had absolute confidence. The outspoken loyalty ol tnat great soldier nrevented the project ever being renewed. 'it is at this date needless to speculate upon what mis:ht have happened had Genarel Grant active ly assisted or passively obeyed the President. No one doubts the cour age and obstinacy Andrew John son, and only a man of equal firm ness and determination could have prevented a most calamitous and unfortunate strike at the most criti cal period of the reconstruction of the Republic.

How a Veteran Gambler Got the lifat : tuaioungonarirerai an Old Game. Enveloped in a long linen duster and wearing a dingy broad-brimmed hat, "Old Pete," a veteran gambler of this city, landed in New York about dusk yesterday. Hieuushav ed face and general make-cp gave him the appearance of a typical countryman. "Pete" had hardly crossed West street ami started up Corllandt when a nice looking, well dressed young man Hccoeted him with : "Why, how do you do, Mr. Ham ilton ; when did you come to town?" "Pete" raistel his head quickly, eyed the man for a moment, and, recognizing a young disciple of his own profession, was about to retort: "I'm working this side myself.young man.'' Oq second thought, however, he concluded to have some fun. So, feigning the twang of a Jerseyman, he replied : "How d'y dew, strang er, how d'y dew ; but my name's not Hamilton it be Deusterof Mid dlesex." The voung man apologiz ed profusely for his mistake, and Pete passed on. As he expected, just before he reached Broadwav another young man, very much like the first, rushed up to him, and shaking him vigorously by the hand expressed his pleasure at meeting Mr. Deiister. The latter was glad. too, but could not remember where he had met the young man. The young stranger quickly explained the matter in a general way, and to gether the twain proceeded up Broadway. "What brought you to town?" carelessly asked the young man as they stood at a bar. ' "Wall, stranger, since you ask, I don't srind telling you. I be going to swap farms with Jenkins, and I m to give him a bonus of SOUO; I came up ter draw the money from ther bank." This remark fairly took the young man breath awav, and he ordered another round of drinks. Then Pete, the pseudo Jersevman, said : "I be powerful hungry, strangT, but I ham t giit no small bills. 'I can lend you S3 or $10," volun leered the young man. pulling out a roll of bills. "Make it a tenner," 8;ud Pete, and the young man did. Dinuer ever, the young man took Pete in tow, and steering him up the Bowrv, an chored him in one of the many low dives with which that place abounds After numberless drinks, which the voung man always paid lor, cards were produced, and the young man started in to fleece bis greenhorn. Ihe Jerseyman played poker a "leetle." aud didn't mind a small game. They started with a 50-cent limit, but before long it was doubled, and finally the restriction was re moved altogether. Presently the voung mn dealt Pete an ace full and himself four jacks, but the latter only cidled. Then Pete took a hand ami dealt his opponent four kinss and himself four aces. "Stranger," said Pete, "here's a hand I'd put S"()0 on ef I had it "I've got something of a hand my self. If vou lose you can give me a check for it-" "Wall, now. stranger, that be kind of you, 'cause yer money is as good as lost." "The voung man smiled, and laid down a $100 raise to Pete's bet of S10. "Jerusalem ! I'll raise vou a hun dred" The young man laid bis last hun dred and called. "Tew par,'lsaid Pete, as his face broke into a smile. "Four kings," said the young man as he reached for the pot. "Hold up! I can beat that mine are two pair of aces." And the pot quickly disappeared into his trous er's pocket. "Now, no funny busi ness. mi vonng friend," said Pete sternly. "Only the next time you try your little game, don't try it on a man who knew how to stock cards when you were wearing long dresses. There'n mr card. And Pete smiled and withdrew. I'hila. Times. frrmiom on Fraud. Mr. Smith owns a note for one hundred dollars, payable one year after date, made by Mr. lirown, and sells it to Mr. Jones. The note was obtained by fraud, and whilst the profierty of Smith cannot be collec ted by process of law, but when sold Jones its character in that regard has changed and ia collectable. though obtained by the meanest of frauds. Thus does the law, in the interest of the nionied class, offer a premium on fraud and therein and thereby robs the ignorant and the poor because unacquainted with the wiles t f the world and the tricks of the sharpers. yovr the man who are in the habit of buying promissory notes are in a much bet ter position to take care of them selves, because tbey are familiar with all all the tricks of sharpers thieves, hence it looks as though, if any innocent victim is to Eufier, it should be he who buys a fraudulent ly obtained note and not be he who unwittingly makes it. But then again, the poor and ignorent do not make the laws and they who do not know how to care for themsel ves and their kind.

An astronomer gives us an idea of the relative weight of the sun and the earth, as follows : "Let us, to start with, weigh the sun. Suppose we have a balance gigantic enough for the purpose, and the sun is resting on one of the scales. Now pat the earth in the opposite scale. You might as well weigh your head against one of the towers of the East river Bridge. Pile a hundred thous and earths into the balance, and tbe sun does not stir. There lies the col ossus immovable. But get together another hundred thousand, and then another hundred thousand, and stack them up in the pan against the sun. Three hundred thousand worlds piled up on one side of the balance and still the sun keeps them up. It would take 30.000 more or 3.'13,000 earths, to make the beam even against a single sun, and six sextillions h the number represent ing the weight of the earth in tons, a mass which is shooting through space at the rate of eighteen miles in a second." President Cleveland's Personal Habits A correspondent of the New York Herald has been describing some of the President's personal habits. Mr. Cleveland makes it a rule to lepiy tr every personal letter, and bis cor respondence is rarely behind. He uses a heavy American linen paper ofr.oteeize and a square envelope. Since he has been President he has not used one sheet of Government paper or any envelope which he has cot purchased himself. Every word that he has written since he has been in the White House has been with th3 same pen on ordinary steel pen. A half dozen fountain pen mak ers sent the President samples of their pens with a request that he try them : but he has not tried any of them, and piobablv will not as long as his favorite pen holds out, Every afternoon after dinner he takes a walk of about a mile or a mile and a half, for be is told by his friends that be is getting to be a tri fle too stout, and be takes his after noon exercise to reduce his weight if possible. President Cleveland has been ex ceedingly fortunate in the matter ot health since be has been the occu pant of the White House. He has not yet had occasion to call in a physician. Once or twice he had a slight bilious attack, bnt he got rid ot it by taking some medicine which had been prescribed for him while he was in Albany, a small quantity of which he happened to have on hand. In the past ten years Presi dent Cleveland has not lost from his duties on account of sickness mere than fifteen days. There are sever al physicians in Washington who would not mind that be had a little touch of "sickness, provided they were called in, for it is money, and a good derl ot it. to anv physician known to be the President's physi cian ; not that he gets it out ot the President, but Iroro the other pa tients that bave his services. Shot In the Court-Room, Indianapolis. October 20. Last Friday night Harrison Tasker, a ne gro hostler, inveigled a German girl, Helen Huenaelend, into his room and assaulted her. He was arrested on Sunday for tbe crime, and this morning was taken into court for ex amination. While the case was pro ceeding Meinrod Huendeland, the girl's brother, drew a revolver and shot Tasker in the body, the ball producing a probably fatal wound. A scene of confusion followed, and the iourt was adjourned. Tasker was taken to the City Hospital. The physicians give no hope of his recov ery. Huendeland was lodged in jail. Wife-Murdere Hanged by Mob. Memphis, Tenn., October 21. A mob of 400 masked and armed men surrounded the jail at Holly Springs, Miss., before daylight this morning, overpowered the guard, broke open the cell of Robert Doxey, the wife murderer, and hanged him.

"That maternal joke is a source of amusement every day on Broadway, for the seciet of humorous signs, intentional or acci dental, ia that every one prides him self on perceiving a witticism. A man in Londou made a fortune thirty years ago. in making these cards, but now every business man likes to placard bis own joke ; other men bave sprung up in the business; cartoons and doggerel verses ara all the g, and times are very dull. Al most every office has rung the changes on "When you call upon a man of business do your business, go about your business, and give him a chance to attend to his business." "A young man down town, who earns a precarious livelihood by writing advertisements, has stuck up thia warning: " -Take that gulf elsewhere. The story you are about to tell la a chestnut. Tune is money ami we are not ch. tiacie.' A business man has posted con spicuously and tersely : '"To-day tat me, to-morrow for yu.' "Still, what may be called 'bat! breaks' in the English language are mostly perpetrated by the Irish Americans in restaurants and drink-ing-halls." The scribe went on his way and kept his eyes oyen. . A Grand street sign, "Shaving Mugs 5 Cents," makes it uncertain whether it refers to the act or the ar ticle. A Fourteenth etreet quack an nounces, "Cancers Cured and War ranted." Any one wishing a nice vigorous cancerous growth need evi dently go no further. The tin-type pesls of Rnckaway put out this insinuating invitation: "Have your photographs taken to gether." The old New Yorker, as he walks along the platform of the City Hall station of the elevated railway is surprised by the information : "This is not the Brooklyn Bridge." Practical Hair Cutter" is an an nouncement so common that few stop to reflect on the improbability cf a theoretical hair cutter doing a paving business. The sporting editor of a prominent New York daily surmounts his desk with the title of a certain religious weekly : "The Christian at Work." A baker who aims at excelling in pie and patriotism has elevated this sign above his door: "Home-made Pies. Pro Bono Publico." But in the drinking balls rnd low resorts are found the most spicy pla cards, laughable in their grim hu mor, which usually point a forci ble though unexpressed moral. A Houston street temple of sparring declares "No lovers allowed," while an adjacent concert-hall gives the invitation. "Guests will please ar range themselves as picturesquely as poisible." At Lion Park there is a hidden demand, "Gentlemen will not spit upon tbe floor ; others must not" The visitors at Fort Lee Park must not be judged by the admoni tion in ibf dining-room : "Gentle men will please not throw bread around the room." There is a rule prevalent in the East River dance gardens that glory in the rapturous delight of the "spiel" that loathesome crawl that is usurping the American Waltz "No society Knickerbocker or Boston Dip allowed on this floor." Yet by far the most delicious piece cf command in New York is the veiled irony ot a notice in a no torious resort: "Positively do excuse if found with another man's bat."

A court of man in? inquiry : Is the old DigX'Dg Putatoea Kotilau; The unusual amount of moisture the present season, in waiiy partes of the country, bus caused much rotting. The question rises, shall 1 we dii early, or allow the tubers to ; remain in the soil until late; in au l tumn? Here again, judgement ami I discretion must be ustrd. Jf the j soil 13 heavy and wet, aud the weath er continuously warm, the rot::nij will be increased by leaving the po tatoes in the ground, and it would be better to dig them at once. They may then be placeel in oblong heaps about two or three feet wide, on a well drained spot of ground, and covered just thick enougu with straw to exclude the light and prevent them from becoming strong. Or, they may be spread on the floor of a bam or out-house, and le't tUere till freezing weather approaches be fore taking them to the cellar. The mud or earth which adheres to them will become dry, and will crumble off in handling in the removal. 1 hey wil dry better if instead oi bem j placed on the barn floor a few rail i or pieces of scantling are placet! on angles narrow boards are laid with spaces between, so as to allow a free ventilation of air from the space be tween the potatoes and the floor. Those that have been placed in the heaps in the field, ad just described, may be left there till the approach of frtezing weather, and then car ried to the cellar. Or, they may at any convenient time betaken to the barn or out-house and left there till time to store for winter. This will require one additional transfer, and give a better chance to knock off all the adhering dirt, aud thus lessen the chances for the increase of the rot. If, however, the soil is of a light er character and will not adhere to the tubers, and the ground has al ready become cool, there will be uo harm in allowing them to remain till winter is near at band. But they may with equal propriety be diH' sooner, provided they are placed in a dry, cool place. The advantage of having the tub ers thoroughly freed trotii all adher ing earth as soon as possible, is in,t always sufficiently understood, which is shown by the experiments which have been made by placing them on . slatted platforms and drenching them witii water, which has nearly always checked at once the progress of the rotting. Country GrntUittan. How to Cnt a Drew. "To begin with." said Aunt Mry, taking the front piece of the paper pattern anil folding it over careful at the waist line, "select a thread that runs from selvedge to selvedge and place this crease 1 have made upon it When you are sure that trie waist line of the pattern is per tectiv even with the grain of the ma terial, Mnooth out your pattern top and bottom, and after securing it firmly to the cloth at the wai-t hue. pin it firmly and cut it out. Io not mind if the pattern slopes a little on the front from the bust to the r.eck ; the waste of material will be very slight. See that the waist line is straight and then go ahead: and I would advise you to cut one piece at a time until you have had more experience. "From the second bias to the first seam the waist shows a slight up ward tendency ; perhap you have not noticed that your own waist shows this tendency as you approach the hips; but as the lin from the hem to the first bias and from the first to the second bias is straight on the cloth, that part from tli sec ond bias to the first seam must be straight, as it is not a separate piece. "Yon see, I notch and mark care fully just as I am instructed lo do by my pattern, and acrot-s from notch to notch on the waist line I run a thread for fear of losing sight of this very important line. Aunt Mary proceeded to cut piece after piece in the same careful man ner. When all was ready she said: "Now, Sally, there is a great deal to learn about basting a waist. You cannot baste it any way. Py that I mean you cannot properly begin to baste every seam at the top or bottom of the waist. There are a few rules which, if fallowed, will surely iusure good seams and con sequently well fitting drsse. "Here we have the front and oack of this waist. By that I mean the right and wrong side of the cal ico. The biases are the first to be basted. Secure them by pinning at the waist line, then evenly rip and down so thai they will not slip when you baste then. ; then with the front toward you baste fineiy, remember ing that the finer the basting Ihe nicer the seani when stitched. The next two seams pin and baste with the fronts toward you, remembering to secure at the waist line first, ami be very careful not to stretch the cloth. The next seam you will se cure as usual &t the waist line, then pin about an inch above that, ami fioiu there toward tbe bottom of the waist with the front toward you. Now turn it so that the back is to ward you aud pin from above the waist line toward the top. Baste in the same wny and you will b..ve no trouble in making this sit nicely back of the hi:. The rounding piece that sets in the curve of the back piece must be set in very care fully. Hold the back toward you, and in basting from the top to the bottom be careful net to draw it in any. Let the rounding team full easily into the curved back. The backs are sloped a little ss the waist line is approached, ami you will bave no difficulty in getting them even if you secure them at the waist line first. Now the shoulder seams look as though they intended to J trouble us. The backs seem to wid for the fronts. But ? here; you pin the ends firmly. The back still looks to full; give it a gentle pull; not too much, but just enough to show you it will fall in place easily, and pin and baste as you have seen me pin and baste every senm. "Now we will examine it." said Aunt Mary, as she spread the waist out on the lap-board, and called my attention to the thread which ran in a continuous line around the waist. "Wouldn't he goalorgwith you?" asked a judge a day or two ago of a policeman accused of unmercifully clubbing a prisoner. "Ob. vis, he went along all roight," replied thf policeman.
