years apo lu tbe humble brick quarters
of Col. William B. Smith, tbe auperin
Undent of tbe Botanic Garden. Gar

Both were great reader* aod tbay
thoroughly enjoyed taoii other'* society.
Ou the night in questlou they tat In
tbe mellow gaslight. In tbs den de
voted to Smith’ luurivaled collection of
tbe works of Robert Bums, detailing
leooltectioos of Ui* Civil war. Smith
lud baeo a volunteer in Waeblugton
when tba attack of San. Early was ro
pe land. He came near being captured
by bis old fi'leud. Gait. Joint C. Ilreck
1 nridge, and gave a harrowing account
of his retreat from Fort Stevrus to
Washington ou a hot and dusty day In
July.
Tbs narrative sat (Gjleud * memory
aglow. He described Ills visit to Wash
ington at the dose <>f the war. Every
thing was In confusion. Lincoln had
beeu amislnaled, and llarre was an ugly
fseliog la the hearts of tiro** who had
ut first manifesto! a ganerout dtsp 1*1.
lion toward tbs Confederate*.
Garland occupirtl rooms at the Kirk
aoodhotel, Teellth street and I’rutt
sylvanl* avenue.
While at his Ixitel quo evening, a
lady’s card was arut to Ins room, lie
dasenadnd to tbo parlor, and found
there tbs wife of the Uoo. Clemeut O
Clay, jr 8b* waa a lady ot remarkable
beauty aod of superior literary attain
ment*. Before tbe war she hid moved
Id tbs highest circle* uf Woehinlgon
society. Tier hutbaud bad be*a coo
rertied Id the conspiracy ot Usorg* S.
.launders and others, and waa iheo a
prisoner at Fort Werreu. He was in
111 healtb, and tbc cllmitie and c indite
ment ware against hi* recovery. With
tbe sarreoder st Appomstox and the
disbandment of dhetui art's and Tohn
soc’s armies she hod repaired to Wash
ington anxiously sect lug lbs liberation
of ber husband. Having been repeated
ly rebuffed she sought the xdvleo of
Garland. Ho heard bar story and ex
pressed the drepeat sympathy. He ad
vised ber to seek au Interview with the
President. Bud a*k him to review tbe
cbm aod extend clemency to her hus
band.
Mr, Garland assured the lady that
Andrew Johnson liad a kindly dlspusi
tlou and would uodoabtedly receive her
with the utmost courtesy. So deep
seated were her fears, however, that U
was with the utmost difficulty be could
Retail upon her to visit the White
ouse.
“Array yourself In your most attrac
tive attire and put on yoar sweetest
smiles,’* lie said “and yos will certainly
sucooed. Johnson can never withstand
the pleadings of a lovely women "
Mrs. Clay Cosily left him saying that
she would call upon the President the
following morning.
The next eight she returned to the
hotel, almost* heart-broken, with her
eyes foil of tesrs. In broken words she
told her story. With mach difficulty
site had obtained so Interview with the
President, and to her astonishment he
received her wllb the greatest kind
ness. No gantlemao of ilia uhlan school
could have Imcn mors polite. Me
lilteiMd to her request with the utmost
patience, and expressed bisderp sympa
thy with her. Me sent for papers, and
after a -careful exam I uatlou of tbe case
wrote an order releasing her husband
from oosQocmsnt.
“Taka this to the decretaly of War,”
said ha. “He frill endorse It. Yuu
