listened vllh asmllo to the complliacntary
Bpecchcs nnd congratulatory remarks that
\vcro given to her father , This happened
early In her married life. Is it any \vonder
that her disgust grew us time ent on nnd
suehoxeesses bccnino frequent ?
Kato Chaso-Sprnguc was only twenty-four
when she was married , but tier life had been
such that she know nioro of men and things
than the grnyest-hnhvil lady among her
guests on that occasion. She was her father's
confidential secictary. She had presided over
his homo In Columbus while ho was governor
of Ohio nmi .sho wns his chief lieutenant
nnd most ardent worker In his cnmpaijrn
for the presidency of the United States. It
may bo tliat her ambition to have her father

ator of the United States and had had a long
public career , was far from wealthy , and ho

Hhodo Island , and ho was thought to lw sev

when her father was governor of Ohio nnd
when ha MM governor of Itliodo Island. It
was ( it Clovoluiul , where Kuto CUaso was
visiting. The wetldlng took place hero in
Washington , virile Salmon P. Clmso was

Sixth street nonr tlio patent ofllco. n place

Mrs. Chase Is now living on her farm ,
Kdionrood , near \ViishliiKton. It wns the
country homo of her father during his last
days , and Iho city has gradually crawled up
to It until Ills now worth n fortune. Jt contains -
tains llfty acres , and Mi-s. Chase's ' farm Is so
that she makes money outof It , and that is
doing inorc than most fanners do about
WashiiiRton. bho innnngcs everything und
Koinctlmcs even follows the ploughman to see
that ho does his work properly , She buys
eyerjUdng that goes lutotho faun und is a
poodtlnnmlor mid u good manager. It was
tbosamo when she was the wife of Governor
Spraguo. She controlled her household and
her servants with un Iron luuid encased in
gloves of velvet , She had a big retimio of
Borvants , and her French cook got $11)0 $ ) a
month. In her use of servants sliowonld not
tolcrnto impudence or disobedience and us an
instance of her methods of dealing with
them , she euro asked onoof her coachmen
to do something In the house. The man ob
jected aiuUaiit that ho had been hired to at
tend to the horses umlthut his only plnco of
duty was on the box of the canlago and in

Kato Clmso Is still a very fine looking
woman. She looks ten years younger than
she really U and she works as hard us any
woman In Washington , Shots \vrltinga llfo
of her father and her worlt will to full of un
written history , In addition to her wonder
ful reminiscences , gnthoroildurine a period ,
covering a quarter of n centurv , In which she
wns in the closest confidential relations with
the greatest statesmen and genemls of her
day , she has bushels of letters inndonp of
the private correspondences of puollo mem
uiulsliolias her father's diary nnd letters.
Not long ago she Mild that she considered
this diary one of the most historical papei-s
In existence. She keeps it in n 11 reproof
vault and she will cpjoto from itveryfieely
In her work. Salmon 1' . Chase kept n dairy
throughout tils whole mibllo carver , lie had \
it in his bedroom anil lie jotted down his
memoranda in It of the oivurcnccs of the
dav every night before ho retired. It is prob
ably as valuable ns the diary of John ( Julncy
Adams.

It Is hardly probable that Salmon P.
Chase's llrst love will bo Included In this
biography , but the truth Is that thochluf
Justice xvas married three times before ho
was forty and ho illil not get the gli 1 lie 11 rat

-A striking difference is seen between the
treatment which the Comto do Varis is re
ceiving from the United States government
in a comparison with the entertainment fur
nished tlie prince of Wales \vlion he visited
Washington just tblrto years ago. There is
of course a difference-in the positions of the
two men , hut hoth are of royal blood , and ,
though the count comes as u private gen tle-
innntotlio United States , there wns a time
when his chances of becoming tlio king of
Franco were decidedly good. The prince of
Wales was thoguost of the president and ho
stopped at tbo whlto house. The Comto do
IJnris has heen entertained at the Arlington
hotel and he has not vet seen the president ,
A diplomatic breakfast wns given to the
prince of Wales. The count received a dinner
from his old friend , General Scholleld , but
the French legation hus nsyot paid no atten
tion to him. M'ho prince ofVnlc3 was given
a llg feed and taken to Mount Tcrnon oil the
revenue cutter Harriet Lano. nnd the Comto
do Paris has had bis trip to Mount Vernonon
tliomivnl steamer Dispatch. The expenses
of this trip of the prince of Wiiles were paid
by Howell CoMi , secretary of the ticasury ,
outof his own pocket , and It now remains to
be seen whether Secretary Ti-.icy

of the Count's trip on the Dispatch. Howell
Cohb hnd no Idea of paying for the trip when
he got up the excursion. IIo expected the
bill to bo footed by the department , and ho
invited the president , the foreign legations
nnd a number of other distinguished guests
to take n sail with him down the Potomac.
Ho did not s.iy anything to Presiitcnt
Buchanan about It , : ind when Buch
anan round that the revenue cutter
was to bo used ho was very angry ,
lie-sent for Jero IJlack , and when Black
catuoin ho said , "Black , are you goliiRto
this blanked frolic ? I want to know what
you think of Cohb using the public property
for private uses ! " " 1 don't know. " replied
tlio attorney general. "Cobb has started
the affair : has sent his Invitations to the
prince of Wales and has the steamer already
packed full of provisions. I don't ' see how ho
can bucic out if ho tries , and i proposcjto go
along with him nnd see how ho comes out.1' '
" \Vell , I won't go , " replied Buchanan. "It
will bo n blot on my administration nnd 1 am
going to stop It , " Judso Blnck then said
that all the English would laugh nt him
Cobb would bo humiliated , ami It would bo
better for him to defray the expenses him
self than to stop it. .Buchanan grasped nt
this solution of the matter , and said lie would
riUT IV THAT WAY ,
The excursion went off and the president
and Jliss Harriet Lnuo were a part of it. At
thollrst cabinet mcctliif ? after the prince of
Wales leit , Buchanan said to Cobb : " Ir.
secretary , Iwant an Itemized bill of that
priuco of Wales trip down the liver. I want
a detailed account of everything the coal
consumed , the salary of the ofllcers , the expense -
penso ol the dinner and overruling clso
down to the siiullest Item. " Cobb ndiil not
understand wliat to male ; ot this , Imt said ,
"Certainly , Mr , President. " As he went
away from thowhito house with Joroniack ,
Uo burst out : i"\Vhit In thunder did tlio old
bqulro mean about that Mt. Vernoa trlpi"
After much urging BUcktold him or llucban-
an's Intention to pay the bill. Howell Cohb
gave a long whistle and answered ; "So
that's what old I3iuk Is unto , Is Itl Well ,
1'llseo if Icsui'tsurpiiso ' him. " IIo did not
see the president until the next cabinet dav ,
and ho ciimo to the white house the happiest
man of the council , Now Buchanan fully
appreciated tha vuluo of the dollar. Ho had
not gotten tno bill as\ot and bo was waiting
anxiously for it. IIo looked glum and asked
Cobb to lemalu after tlio other members of
the cabinet had gone. As tlio coat-tails of
the last ono of them vanished through the
door , ho snid : "Well , Mr. sccretarv , whcro
is that bill I" Cobb assumed an Innocent air
and answered : "What bill do you mean ,
Mr , President ! " "You know very well what
bill I mean. " replied liuchaiian , sternly. "I
mean thathlU for tliooxpenscs for the prince
of Wnlos1 trip to Mount Veiuon , " " 01
that bill. " said Cobb. "I've got it some
where about mo , ' and hovent through
poikot after pocket until ho llually drew out
a long piece of of crumbled paper , which ho
handed to tlio president. Mr. Buchanan
took It and hisfaco was n study of disgust as
ho rend thu items nnd the exorbitant prices
ullked to them , His face grow darker and
darker as ho vent on , until ho touched the
end , when ho jumped to Ins foot nnd ex-
hlulmed : " Why this bill Is paid-It's paid In

"And who hi thunder should hnvo paid It

A DEHTAL PLATE.
A "WONDERFUL INVENTION for those compelled to wear
artificial teeth. No mora feeling thnt your mouth Is too full , or
being embarrassed while talking OP singing on account of o thicli
clumsy plate.
We tire now making a vulcanite plate known to the dentnl pro
fession as the MORRIS' THIN ELASTIC DENTAL PLATE , ns thin
as paper , elastic as whalebone , nnd tough ns leather , of uniform
thickness all over the roof of the plate , the ridges or irregularities oi
the roof of the mouth appearing on the tongue side of the plata ,
making a natural feeling to the tongue. You can talk as well with
such a plate as if your natural teeth were all in. Just what public
speakers and singers should have. The cost of making these plates
is but a trifle more than the usual rubber plateg. Call on
