It h generally believed hero that Senator Teller will silt-coed himself. HO Is by nil odds the cleanest mid most nblo man that lite stain has ever tout to Washington , nnd I nm told that bin only opponent of nny prominence is Tabor , who has to buy nil the votes ho gets. Senator Teller Is ono of tbo most remarkable men In this country. Ho Is the son of a Jiirmer in western New York , and ho has the blue blood of the If nlcUcrboexers in his veins. His imrcstors ounoto this country from Hoi- luiul in HXl'J ' , mid the present Denotation Is the llrst tliat has not boon able to spcnlt the Dutch language. Ills father was in ordinarily good circumstances and young Teller got a good education , studied law , and went by stage to Denver in lbVJ. Cen tral City was then n great min ing town and Teller moved hero and prac ticed law. Ho Is ono of the brightest luwj en In Colorado and ho has inado several fortunes in his practice. Ho lias lost as well as inailo and bo is now n comparatively poor man. He left his l.iw olllco In Ib7i5 to ho ono of Color.ido's llrst senatoi-s , ana he lelt tlio senate for the cabinet In 1SS2. When Teller was a senator the inllliomitro , N. 1 . Hill , was also in the senate , and tbo two did not got along well together. Hill was Jealous of Teller , nnd ho was so mnjry with President Aithur when Teller was nude scerctury ot the Interior that lie hoc line Arthur's enoiny m far us ho dated to ho. Ho NIVIII : nor oviii : ins minim nt Teller's nppointtnont tmd ho is now oppos- Inir Toiler's election to the senate. The story of Senator Toller's appointment as ono of President Arthur's eablnot minis ters bus never been published , and the Iiisldo history of it VMS known only to hrco or four statesmen , These wore the president him self , Senator Teller , John A. Logan and Don Cameron. Now Arthur is dead , Logan Is dead , and Senator Teller at my request five's the story through me to the public. The truth Is tlio pluco was forced upon him. I had a chat with him ro .trding it the otlior night. Haldho : "I had not the slightest desire for the position and it was ten days after the place was offered mo that I consented to ac cept It , and I could not well afford the ex penses of a cabinet minister. My wife did not want mo to take it nnd I refused to accept it us long as I dared. Ex-Senator ChafTcc was a candidate for the place and so was Senator Logun. Don Cameron and myself were push ing him for it. Ono morning Iviss called out of the senate by the president's private secretary - rotary , Mr. Phillips , who told me that Presi dent Arthur would like mo to come to the white house that night at 10 o'clock and talk with him about the appointment of a secre tary of the interior. I supposed that ho re ferred to Mr. ChaHoe's candidacy and when I saw him I again presented Mr. CbaCl'eo's ' case , Wo were discussing the matter in a little - tlo private room which Arthur had reserved for himself in ono corner of the presidential mansion. As I was going on about Senator Chuffeo President Arthur said : ' There is no use of talking about Senator ChaiTeo's appointment. I have decided that I shall not have a man for my secretary of the Interior who is not a lawyer and who is not rilKSlI I'llDM A. GOOD rilACTICK. Ex-Senator ChafTee has not the qualities that I want for my secretary of the interior. " "I was rather nettled at this , " Senator Teller went on , "and 1 referred to the fact that n number of the past sectaries had not been lawyers wlicn the president said : 'I ' will tell you the elements that I want in my secretary of the Interior and the kind of a man I pioposo to appoint. The secretary of the interior has to settle more important cases during the year than the supreme court , and ho investigate * twice the number of legal questions of the department of justice. Hence the man must bo a good lawyer. Ho ninsit have some experience with public nf- faiisand with pubile men. Ho must como from the west , ' nod President Arthur went onto tell mo the other qualities which ho wanted his secretary of the Interior to pos sess. As ho went on I saw that ho had some ono in his mind , and I racked my brain to llguio out who ho was driving at. I ran over man after man from my locality , hut I could llnd none who hud the ( malltles ho mentioned. Ills talk grow luuler to mo as ho went on and at last ho concluded , leaning over and nutting his hand on my knee , ami saying : "Now , Senator Teller , 1 have decided that you como the nearest to tilling these require ments 01 any other man i Know , and I want to offer you the place. " "I was thunderstruck. I jumped to my foot and excitedly exclaimed : 'But I don't ' , want it Mr. President. lam in the senate nnd I can't ' leave it. I cannot afford It and I , you must not offer mo the place , foi1 cannot accept It. Besides I nm hero to push the , claims of Mr , Clmffco. ' " ) ( "Tho president begged mo to sit down nnd i talk ovortlio matter , " Senator Teller vent on. "I complied with his request , though I said 1 1 theio was no use in talking about It , nnd our I conversation lasted until 2 a. in. As I loft I Ii begged the president not to tell anyone ho 1 hudolYcicu mo the position nnd reiterated my statement that 1 could not take it. "President Arthur replied : 'I don't want , < you to decide tonight. aillXK OVIIll Till ! MUTER 1 until Thursday night and in the meantime I will say nothing to anybody about It.1 I ro- , piled that 1 vould think of It , ami with that I i left. On Tuesday or Wednesday I called at the wliitu house 0:1 : some other business , and the president said , 'You nio coming around ! Thursday I' 'Yes,1 , I replied , 'but I have 1 nothing now to say. ' "On ThurMluy I mot my appointment and upon my again refusing , the president asked I mo to go and see Don Cameron at the senate and tallt over the matter with him , and to tell I Cameron to como and see him after ho had i had his conversation with mo. 1 saw Sona- j tor Cuintrbit , nnd Cameron urged mo by all i means to tnko the placo. Ho said : 'If the ! ' president will not have Chaffeo you must ao- copt the place and I am for you. ' I gave Senator - ] ator Cameron my reasons for not wantiit c it. l Ho said : 'You iMnnot help yourself , You | will have to tnko it , " nnd with that ho loft to 4 go to the whlto houso. " 1 "Tho next day whim I caino out of the sen ate Senator Allison met mo with a sly wlulc { In Ills eye and asked mo if the governor of my jstuto was a republican and whether ho would jnppolnt.ii republican successor to my place In itho senate. I saw from this that the story was out , and the next there was a line In aNew { Now York newspaper saying that it was ru- iinored that I had hocn ottered the portfolio of = the Interior. This statment was telegraphed 'to Denver , nnd I got u liunurcd telegrams jiucxt day 1 UllGINQ Ml !

Ho n-amo and ho also urged mo to accept the no- Kiltlon. " U Iu the mcnntlino the telegrams from Colo- - ado continued to como in It was the tlrst ti line that a cabinet oftlro had been ottered to Li man from Colorado , and the people of my I .tutu would have considered It an honor to ' iavu u man la the president's cabinet.

" This surprised Allry nnd toolc the wind out of his sails. IIo said little moro about his farms , bu * , his notions showed that , his re- ypcct for Mr. Ijavnl Uiirpjler , the Ohio fann er , hud poivcptlbly risen. SpeaUtnaof Alloy recalls n story which I heard lately of n dinner' , which lie Is said to hnvo given nt Wnslihifrton , and \vhich maybe bo true and tuny bo not. Tin truth , however , does not hurt the stoiy. It seems that at his dinner Alley liad .1 number of prominent statesman , aniuiiK whom were Senator liviirts nnd other loculhif , ' men of the hind. As soon as tlioy had gotten tliiouili the soup , Mr. Alloy be nn to tell stories , in till of which Mr. Alloy was the hero. Thuso stories ran clear back to the days bo fore the \var. \ The llsh , for inst.inco , reminded Mr , Alloy of nn Important conference ho had had with Presi dent lUichiman , nnd ho describes graphically wlmttUuclmtmn had said to Alloy , and what Alloy had advUed Bucbanan. The llrst on- trco bronchi in the story of Lincoln , and in- cidchtally Mr. Alloy hail , so it seemed , tnved the country and the picsldc-nt himself. The p.uno was eaten Umlcr a well told taloof how Alloy hail helped Johnson and Grant , and so it wont on. At last when the Homan punch was beintf served , and the faces of tlio guests had grown rosy with the choice old wines with Mhich table was furnished. Alley happened to catch the twinkling cyo of Senator ICvnrts. IIo was telling ono of his most remarkable adventures at the time nnd ho took Kvarts' smile for interest nnd up- plnnso. lie called upon him lo make a re sponse to .something ho had said nnd asked mm if ho did not remember some incidents in connection with It. "I do not , " lepliod the caglo faced senator from New York , ns ho stretched his long six feet to his full height and throw the heavy white damask napkin on the table beside his plato , "hut Mr. Alloy's story reminds mo of ono of the most remark- nblo anecdotes that Truth hns over told. It happened several hundred years ago. This broad continent on which wo stand was then unknown nnd the savage reigned supreme without knowledge and fear of the white num. At this time a bold man with his faith ful friend started out on a ship with a com pany of br.ivo sailors to discover n passage to tlio far cast. It was Columbus. " Here Senator Kvarts went on to describe In his four hundred word sentences that wonderful voyage , nnd at every other line ho referred to tin ) faithful friend who upheld Columbus in all his troubles. HI ! MEXTIONHIl XO XAMfi , however , until the last , nnd then in descilbing the mutiny which was about to break forth Just as Columbus reached America , ho saiil : "It was n terri ble time. A day or two moro and Columbus know that ho could hold his men no longer. Mutiny and death stared hinrln the face , and ho counselled much with his faithful friend ns to the situation. Ho arose curly in the morning und with longiiiR dyes looked out to wards tlio western hor'zon. ' There was a strange softness in the nlr nnd Just as thosun rose its llrst rays caught ft line of dim blue In the far oil west. Columhus gasped. IIo co'.ildnot speak for n moment but as the sun rose and tlio line became moro distinct ho turned to his faithful friend , throw his arms around his neck nnd sobbed as ho pointed , "Thank God ! Mr. Alley , we'rebnvcd. There is land. " Speaking of Senator Evarts , there is no man in Washington who enjoys a good dinner moro than ho. Ho is ono of the highest livers In Washington and notwithstanding that ho is six feet tall and does not weigh moro than 125 pounds , ho can eat all nround Phllotus Sawyer who weighs iiJO and has n stomach so largo you could roll Brails up like a watch spiing , and cell him within it and hnvo room to sp.iro. Ho showed in fact no sign of his epicurean tastes , and once in a whllo speaking In New York , n Yankee who had arrived nfter the meeting had begun , nskcd the name of the man on the platform. He was told It was Evarts. "What , " said ho , "you don't mean to say that that lean little tlo thing is E-varts. Why ho looks as If ho boarded. " Evarts spent TlllUTYTMOmNI ) DOUAUSOX DINNERS whllo ho wis secretary of state nnd his state lunches aio noted nt the capitol. IIo hivs not been cntoitalnlng so much as usual this .sea son , but his expenses must bo very high IIo was llguring on his expense account the other day while sitting Just in Iront of Senator Shcrnun and was adding and subtracting at n great rate. IIo wont over n lone sheet of figures again and again and at labt leaned back In hischnlr with n slch nnd threw the sheet into the waste basket. Then wrapping his long legs around ono another as though they were made of India rdbbor. ho turned mound will a sigh and spoke to Sherman. Senator Sher man said : "By the way , Air. Evarts , I no tice you've ocen adding up a lot of llguroi.

Crcfeil- ( Concluded from last Sunday. ) CII.U'TKU II. "My father was ono of the Trench nobll- ty , " began the interesting old gentleman , 'nnd my mother n Grecian lady of high birth. They met whllo my father was trav eling in Greece , and n year Inter they married , ao taking her to his hoinoTin Ilnvro. My biitti was honored with n great tote at which my mother prevailed upon my father to record n pledge that ho would overdo all in tils power toeneourago my boconilngti trained nnd ardent ally of the Greek church , mid to secure my maviiago with n ( Jrecian lady. Toward attaining tlioao two ends my youth ful cnieor was shaped nnd guarded with n scrupulous lldiillty such rts only two loving parents in the happiest consonance of burn ing love and devotion for each other , 1 led by abundant wealth , could mould U. At the ago ot sixteen they told mo I had disap pointed them not a parllclo in my studies nor in the genuineness of my claim to the high scholastic honors which wore accorded nm. "Within forty-eight hours alter my gradua tion my father nnd mother took mo upon a leisure tour of the world. Our travels con sumed two entire years and embraced , 1 may say , everything that was worth seeing. I possibly need not toll you that our lonrcst stay was tit tlio old homo city of my mother , Athens. The delicately studied pdns with which she sought to Interest mu in some ono of the truly noble daughters of that famous place , conies all back to mo ns a veritable dicam cnclouded in the ineenso of a mother's most passionate Interest in her only child , nnd the daillag wish of her life. "As Is peihapi seldom thu case under such circumstances , I did In fact become Infatuat ed with the daughter of my mother's most cherished friends , a gentleman and his wife who were of rank and great , fortune. Now , to my memory , as then to my vision , hcr's was a marvellously pure type of beauty. The face was ovnl , the iioso Grecian , lips deli cately curved in a sad yet sweet expression , the chin small nnd rounded , the hair golden , tbo eyes largo and gwj % and out of them looked a soul nnd n nature so true and so l > uro , so spirited , so relined , sp far removed from the grosser elements of earth , that ono was almost led to ask , is this really the fnco of some living woman , or is ft the ideal of the master artist , a lovely vision pictured by genius and pecilled by art I My mother said to mo 'sho is tender , sweet and loving , the reverse of nil that is subtle , cunning and icvengoful.1 "Suddenly ono day my father rcclvod n measnsfo notifying him that his counsels and and his vote were needed imperativelv in a complication of affaiis which had arisen nt homo. My mother , as I afterwards learned , hesitated for hours botwecn having him tnko her nnu mo with him or leaving us and thus venturing nothing as against my sealing my infatuation for the Greek girl with a confes sion oflovo nud a request for her hand. It was finally concluded , however , between my parents , that the Jouiney was to long to vcn- tuio intrusting mo with the responsibility of taking my mother homo , und so we all left Athens left my Infatuation no fuither pro gressed toward the culmination for which my mother fairly prayed , than simply Iho inf.it- uation point. " "Of courno wo exchanged pledges to write to each other by every mall , but with mo the affair proved ono of 'out of sight , out of mind , ' after the first half dozen letters had been written , ' To hasten to my story's close , I will say that within a year after our return to Franco there were being entertained at our house none other than the object1 * ! my old infatua tion , nnd her mother. At the time of their arrival I saw in that return visit simply a chance happening , nud so it was in many re spects. "In this short year which intervened be tween my mailing my last latter to mademoiselle in Athens I had become blindly bewitched by n ( lower gardener's daughter , whoso mmcchal neil roses seemed moro ex ceeding r.iro than any among the great as sortment in my father's conservatory. The simdowy twilight of the day which saw mo pro is u coldly formal kiss of courte ous greeting upoa the hand of the Athenian maW , fell soft nnd rich upon the lips of my innrcchal neil rustic , whereon I loft a dozen kisses , tired with little less than love itself. "This dainty rustic was also marvelously Beautiful. Not as to strict regularity of features or typical style , but her face , her figure , in truth nor louu ciibempiu , possesseu n inscina- tlon forme that was Increased ten fold by the dulcet , limpiod accents of her clear swept voico. Th'o ( was a nniveto in what she said anil in her manner of speaking , unsullkd by affectation , which put my heart in pawn nt ouco. And even nov In miiet moments 1 can hear her humming hi nn almost indestin- guishablo voice the dashing nlr of a charming chaiibonnc'ttcvhlch was at that time en vogue with nil the boulovnrdiera at Paris. There was a spice of romance mid adventure in the incumbent secrecy enjoined upon our mtotings. ThopcnnUsibio and carefully ar ranged rendezvous nt stated times , possessed a charm that never was tainted by rashness The inischovlous coquetry she subjected mete to when I chanced to purchase uinarochal neil of herln the presence of others added a piquancy to hermuny fascinations. Wo were enacting sin Idylllo drama of the romancaquo school , as I thought la these whilom days before - fore .sorrow came. "I did much driving , strolling and boating with the fair foicigncr , for I dcdded , moro for my mother's snko than otherwise , to test myself fully. lint I experienced no revival of tlio oUl fascination , llor's was n face loftier In point of chuslo beauty , innate Intel ligence and rollnumciit it was ideal as to all of that , nnd jet , study tu appreciate its llnncsso us I would nnd think upoa the lov ing respect I bore my mother's ambition , my father's ' pride , all , as I would , I could not bring myself to say to her of the Grecian blood that whiili .surely would hnvo acted to blight my Indofinnblo hopes hi the direction ot the rose do la maruclml neil , to say noth ing of the lie-acting which such u step would involvo. "Before our guests had spent a fortnight within our chutieau.'I discovered that the ob ject of my infatuation abroad had bccomo with mo exactly as was I vlth the lit- tlu maroohal ncll merchant , though ns then , so now I reflect , through no cuusq , on my part. For during all her visit nt our homo my attention never went beyond the bounds of a cordial civility , And , too , I will add that her's were nlways the guarded words in- dicntlvo of u line sensibility and a con summate pride a nntiiru to which the words "stooping to conquer" appeared lit only for women of the street to compre hend and exemplify , Always had I read her ns being deep , but never subtle. "My parents gave a lloral fete In honor of tholr guests. Now It happened that the llttlo girl of the roses bad. weeks before , expressed n great desire 'to ' get a good look , ' as she expressed - pressed it , In upon 'a floral reception.1 Iu the occasion In question I saw nn admirable op portunity to giatify her wish. "Tho evening of the truly grand affair came , and with It an engagement on my part to slip away from the brilliant throng for a few moments and conduct the llttlo rustic through n certain arbor which I had arraugei' ' with our ground-keeper to have free from in- trusiou at the hour decided upon , nnd tho. lor- initiation of which commanded a near nnd per feet view of Uio principal reception salon. "This fete was given near the close of the sixth week following the arrival of our guests nnd was calculated particularly as a farewell iu their honor. "U'wasa beautiful night early , but later on a tempest arose arose as If to mow out al the stars that lit the skies , to shroud a shami which blotted broad aiul deep the lives c thtvo f.imiUci. I kiiqw not why I should hnvo commenced thj'l tolling of these things from out my life , but vour willingness to hear mo to the end must pav a penalty. If tragedy hns ought of grucMotnncss for vou.

As slio fe.iiU'd her eyes upon the pic ture the llttlo ono impulsively elaspaif her hands before her and "sent forth a subdued , bubbling little expression of extatic delight which seemed to coinB Irom her very soul. In her rapture over the scene she had pressed forwardahead of mountil.bcforc either of us realised , she stood further dut In the Hood of light than was at all discrete , uonsliloringtlio chance roving of so many eyes from within. Springing forward I gently drew her back \Vo had stood gn inir from a shadowed nook where we saw unseen for several minutes whoa I laughingly told her I must hnvo a kiss for my pains. Her answer wns an Impulsive 'yes.1 As I throw my arms about her and our lips met , a feminine voice , right ut bund In the shadow , hissed " "Is the kiss of Joath. ' "O , thing most damned most utterly be yond all human conception I "Before our lips could scarcely part , a a gleim of steel flashed before our eyes a dagger was buried to the hilt iu the breast of the mnrecual neil rose girl. "O , pitying Christ ! The agonized death shriek that leaped from these guileless lips must have sent a shudder through the heart of the Almighty Himself I "Tho hand that clutched the dagger's hilt was that of the young Athenian woman. She-devil , specter-like , her face demonic , the steel again In the uir , she hissed with u hallow laugh" , 'No kiss of love forme then death for her , and sweet welcomed death formal'and ' sent the steel hllt-Ueep inlo her own wretched heart. "A score of guests who had rushed out tore forward upon the blood-freezing scene Justus the Hand incarnate fell to the caith , her hand yet clutohins Iho weipon , and Just in time to see the murdered nnd the murdross breath tlielr last , for thu awful stool hau been unerr ing in Its eirands. "My position in the eyes of the scores ol guests as they flocked"nbout only to reel awav in sickening , unnerving horror , can bul faintly ba.iinugiiicd. "Nature eamo to my rescue I fell in a dead faint. faint.Vhcn " \Vhcn I regained consciousness I wa < lying upon nvcoueh in my own room.

"As I opened my eyes I found nbout mo my mother and father , their faces llvlittmu drawn with terror , n'ld ' with eyes fixed wide and staring upon mo. There were two others in the room , our old nurse and un ofrlcer o the law , the latter rcyjurdhig mo with a kcei and stern watchfulness. My strength re turned as quickly almost as it h id down. 1 sprang up to a sitting postnro and wavhif , silence upon all , related the whole btorv , from tlio cnga mont to gratify th" little flower girl's simple wish , on through to the moment of my becoming unconclous I told the whole truth nnd only the truth.
