18cclitt Correspondence!
Washington, May 28. In this letter
I want to toll you two or threo bIiiiuIo
stories nbout soino prominent tnou
stories which bring out tlio human strto
of persons who nro generally talked nnd
written ubout as public characters. For
instance, there la Secretary Ulaitie, who
is conceded by all observers, friends and
foo alike, to bo ono of the most Inter
esting men of his time, and perhaps
tlio most interesting man in public 11 fo
in this country to-day. Mr. Ulnino'n
Illness in Now York, and tho uncer
tainty ns to when ho should bo ablu
to resumo work at Washington, called
forth tho sympathy of tho whole coun
try. I was talking tho other day with
ono of Mr. Blaine's most intimato friends,
Stephen 1). Elkins. Mr. ElkltiB had just
loft Mr. Ulaino's bedside.
"Mr. Dlaino," said Elkins, "is Just now
Bomowhat depressed. Ho is not ho very
sick, but ho has n form of tho grip, which
is bo likely to depress tho spirits of its
victims. Why, I have had threo million
aires cotno to mo within tho past few
mouths and begin talking about thoni
6clvos, in tho end breaking down into
fits of weeping. Ono was n. many times
millionaire a man who had mado ono of
tlio most conspicuous successes, amassed
a great fortune, and who hud everything
to live for. et ho said to mo: 'Elkins,
I don't know what tho matter is with
me, but I want to die. I can seo no use
for living. I feel so miserable I want to
die and got rest.' And then this great,
strong man, whoso name is n power in
flnanco and politics, broke down and
cried like n child. Within a month an
other friend, a rich man, another one
who had in family, fortuno and pros
pects everything tho heart could wish
for, called at my oftlco and said ho want
ed to talk to mo about himself. It was
tho old story. Ho was not sick enough
to go to bed; ho was ablo to crawl
around, but thero was something the
matter with him, ho didn't know what,
and ho was about ready to givo up. As
ho went on talking tho tears began to
trickle down his cheeks; ho choked up
and began to sob so that I had to close
my door to keep my clerks from observ
ing tlio rich man's distress.
"That is tho sort of thing that has
been going through tho country during
tho past winter," continued Mr. Elkius,
"and I am not surprised that victims of
tho prevailing malady should, havo com
mitted suicide. Now, Mr. Blaino has
been affected in somewhat tho same way.
His caso was not so desperate as that of
the mon I havo mentioned, but it was
similar. For a fow days ho was much
depressed in spirits. Never since tlio
death of his sou Walker did Mr. Dlaino
realize so fully tho nature of his loss as
ho did while ho was himself sick in New
York. Ho always mourned for Walker,
but during this ordeal ho actually pined
for him. Walker was very near his fa
ther, and was a manly, thoughtful, help
ful son. I will never forget Mr. Blaiuo's
first words when ho returned to this
country from his tour in Europe. You
will rememuer his health was not good
over there, und ho sadly missed tho help
of Walker. Wo went down tho bay to
meet Mr. Blaine, and as wo stepped upon
tho steamer Mr. Dlaino took both of
Walker's hands in his and said to him,
with lovo looking out his eyes, 'Jack,
my boy, you and I shall never part
again.' When Jack, as tho family called
Walker, was stricken down and died, Mr.
Blaiuo Buffered tho hardest blow of his
life. No political or other disappoint
ment ever struck bo near his heart."
Mr. Elkins is himself ono of tho most
interesting of men. Many do not like
him or some of his methods, but ho was
never yet accused of being false to a
friend. At this very moment, probably,
Elkins is tho happiest man in America.
Ho has just won a campaign, beside
which all his raco for wealth, his victo
ries in politics aro mero bagatelles. He
has saved tho lifo of his boy. It was in
tensely interesting to mo to hear this
giant of a man, who has had his rough
and tumble with tho world, more often
than otherwise coming out on top, but
enduring his failures liko a fighter, tell
the story of his struggle to save tho life
of his eon to note the pathos in his
voice, and to seo tho tear glisten in his
eye. For fivo weeks young Stove Elkins
has been in tho laud of darkness, from
which ho is just now emerging into
health.
When ho was taken with scarlet fever,
his father, with characteristio energy
and method of organization, called in
tho services of threo physicians. Ono
was employed to remain in tho house,
constantly at tho little patient's bedside,
till death or recovery brought an end.
The other two wero consulting physi
cians, calling twice a day Threo nurses
wero employed, so that thero might bo
no lack of help. "I did not want any
ono to bo waiting on my boy who was
tired, and therefore unable to givo the
most perfect service," said Mr. Elkins.
So tho battle went on. Following scar
lot fever was malignant diphtheria, ac
companied by heart failure. For weeks
tho boy was at tho very verge of tho
grave. Repeatedly tho doctors said tho,
eud had como, but Mr. Elkius enjoined
them, to labor on, with stimulants, elec
tricity, oxygen every known means of
keeping alivo tlio vital ppark. Again
aud again the little light flickered, wa
vered, almost disappeared, and finally
brightened a bit. But after weeks of de
lirium, after setting ono foot in tlio
other land, little Stovo began to mend.
Ho is now on tho high road to recovery.
"Dut for his remarkable vitality," bald
tho father, "ho could never have cu
ltured the combined onslaught of so
many dread afllictions. Dut oven with
this wo should havo lost him had it uot
been for the plan of camnaiuu which 1
organized in his behalf. Tho doctors ad
j uiU that but for my refusal to give up,
CAPITAL CITY COURIER,
ml for my instructions to fight rery
inch of tho ground, hln light would have
gono out. The lesaon to mo, nnd tlio leu
sou to all who havo boys nnd girls to
ftvo and what will a man not givo to
save his child is novor to givo up.
Fight with every moans at your com
mand as long as a spark remains. Wo
can never know how much resorvo force
there is in a littlo body to draw upon.
Sometimes, unfortunately, thero is less
than thoro should bo. In other canes
thero will bo more, and parents should
nover bo satisfied till thoy havo devel
oped and exhausted all thoro is. I am
euro that many of our brightest and best
loved children aro allowed to perish bo
causo tho physicians and nurses do not
fight to tho bitter end."
Tlio story of his campaign for tho lifo
of his boy Mr. Elkius told mo In private
conversation, not intended for publica
tion; but 1 am sure this keen, success
ful, practical man and loving father will
uot object If I givo tho lesson of his vic
tory to my readers, that they may fol
low his example when death sots foot
within their doors aud threatens to carry
off their littlo ones. If ono precious lit
tlo lifo may bo saved by this means, I
know Mr. Elkius will bo glad of tho pub
licity which I give to his story.
Speaking of Mr. Blaino and his illness
reminds mo of an Incident related to mo
recently by Senator Culloin, of Illinois.
Wo wero talking about presidential am
bitions and iiosslbilitlcs. "I confess,"
said Senator Cullom, "that at different
times in my lifo I havo had a thought of
tho K)ssibility that I might some day bo
president of the United States, as I sup
poso overy man in public lifo, and many
men not in public lifo, have had. Dut a
few years ago I learned ono lesson,
which sank deep into my soul, and which
can nover bo effneed. It was when I
stood by tho bcdsldo of dying John A.
Logan, and hold tho hand of that great
man as ho passed from this lifo to the
next. There was a strong, ambitious,
admirable man, who for many years had
given himself up to tho noble ambition
to 1)0 president of tho United States. It
is not saying anything against Logan
for I loved him too well to bo capablo of
criticising him now to say that for a
numlwr of years almost overy act and
thought of his lifo was governed directly
or indirectly by his ambition to bo presi
dent. Ho had worked and slaved and
schemed aud given up his lifo to his as
piration. Yet hero camo inexorable
death, no respector of persons or pros
pects, and struck him down just as tin
cup for which ho had so long struggled
was about to bo offered to his eager lips.
"I say this becauso thero is no ques
tion among public men of all parties
that if Logan had lived ho would have
been president. His was tho saddest
death I over know, and my thought as I
stood holding his hand and feollng it
grow colder and colder within my grasp,
was that tho presidential rainbow is
ono which no man can afford to chase.
If it comes to him in tho natural courso
of events ho is fortunate. Dut it is fool
ish to seek it when untimely death may
at any moment step in and wrest from
him tho fruits of all toil and nil devo
tion." For fear that I am writing too much
on solemn topics, I will now tell n lighter
story, which was also told mo by Sena
tor Cullom. It concerns Charles A.
Dana, tho great editor of tho Now York
Sun. During tho war tho accounts of
tho war department becnino so much in
volved that it becarao advisable to or
ganize a commission to go to Cairo, Ills.,
whero most of tho troublo was, aud
straighten it out. Senator Cullom and
Mr. Dana wero asked by Mr. Lincoln to
becomo members of this commission,
and consented. Thoy went down to
Cairo, whero tho quartermasters' ac
counts were in frightful confusion.
Hundreds of men wero claiming pay for
horses and other supplies of which there
wero no records. It was tho duty of the
commission to pass on these claims,
weed out tho bad from tho good, and
clear up tho books. Of courso tlio claim
ants wero both numerous nnd insistent,
and tho members of the commission
wero besieged from early morning till
late at night.
Ono day Mr. Dana had been taking a
walk through tho town, aud camo into
tho office of tho commission witli a thun
der cloud hanging upon his brow. In a
moment tho storm broke. "Great Qod,
Cullom 1" ho exclaimed, "will you take a
look at me? Look at mo carefully.
Oaze into my eyes, scan mo all over and
then answer mo truthfully." Cullom
and his colleagues did not know what to
mako of this strango Bpeech. For a mo
ment they thought Mr. Dana had gono
crazy. "Look mo over, Cullom, and nil
of you," Dana exclaimed, excitedly nnd
earnestly, "and tell mo if I look so much
more liko a d d thief than the rest of
you. Threo times today havo I been
approached by fellows who havo horso
claims against tho government, and of
fered a bribe if I would seo to it that
their claims wero put through. If I
really look as much liko a thief ns this
would indicate, for God's sako tell me,
so I can go off somo placo and shoot my
self." WALTKU WEINMAN.
I'l iiiimii t litiit to Travel,
I Tho statistics of transatlantic travel
! present some figures that aro simply
i amazing. While tho exact figures of
1850-00 cannot bo ascertained it is cor
I tain that nt least twenty times as many
I people now go abroad annually as did
tony years ago. inueeu it is not so very
long ago that a voyago to Europe mado
ouo a noted individual in three-fourths
of the country. Now every considerable
village has citizens who can talk intelli
gently of what they "saw abroad," and
in tho cities it is raro to find a well to do
man of middle ago who has not taken a
long sea voyage. At least 00,000 Ameri
sans went abroad last year, and expend-
'jd, tho reporteis say, at least $1,000
apiece on tho average. Sixty millions
is a good deal of money for a young na
tion to spend in seeing old countries, and
buying curios aud foreign clothing, yet
tho companies aro looking forward to a
better business this year, as thero is no
"campaign" on hand, aud many want to
to before '03, when the interest will cen
ter nt Chicago.
