AN AKKCDOTE OF MIR. LINCOLN.

'H In his speech at the Merchants Banquet
to the Odd Fellows, in Baltimore, Mr. John
wv. Garrett, President of the Baltimore,
and Ohio Railroad, related the following
incidents. 4aas
By his request accompanied Presi-
dent Lincoln, Immediately after the battle
of Antietam, to the scene of that sanguina-
ry conflict After passing over the Balti-
more and Ohio road from Washington to
Harper's Ferry, / continued with him, by
his desire, during the memorable period
he spent with the officers and soldiers of
the Federal army, and among the hospitals
and the wounded upon that bloody field.
Asin accord with the spirit of your fra
ternity, / will mention scene which oc-
Cured in one of those hospitals which be-
dewed many eyes. The President exam
ined, kindly and tenderly, into the con-
dition and care of the Federal wounded.
He also passed through the hospitals
where were placed the Confederate wound
led. Many of these hospitals, in view of
Ithe large number of wounded, were inn
proyised from barns, upon and in the VI
cinity of the field of battle. Passing thro'
one, of these, the middle space of an ex-
tensiYe Switzer barn, where large num-
Der of Confederate wounded lay, the Pres
idents stopped about the center of the
apartment opposite youth of striking apr
peaEance, probably of eighteen or twenty
years of age He lay looking very feeble
and pallids He held three straws in his
hand, and was feebly moving them to
keep the insects from his face The Presi-
dent asked '''if he had received all neces-
sary attention" He replied that '.be bad
that his right leg had been amputated."
The President responded: 81 trust you will
get we'll" The youth-great tears rolling
down from his eyes said: ''NoI am
sinking; | shall die" The President
leaned tenderly over him and said /; ''Will
you shake hands with me!" Irremark-
led, "This is President Lincoln He
attempted to raise his hand and give it to
the President. The President asked him
"Where are you froml" 'From Georgia
Again the President, expressed the hope,
still holding his hand, that he would recov-
|er. ''No," said the youth, 81 shall never
see my mother agsin-I shall die"
The President still held his hand, and
|feryently CALCULATED, while he wept and
his tears mingled with those of the sufferer,
SHAY God bless you, and restore you to
your mother and your home" Amid all
the sad scenes Of that field of carnage,
coming forth from that sanctifed spot, l
said, "Mr. President, such kindness will
make missionaries of good viii of the
soldiers who return South to their homes"
The President then expressed his wishes
generally to those accompanying him, that
all the wounded and all the sufferers
should be kindly treated and, in the
course of conversation thereafter, express
ed sanguine hopes that at an early day,
instead of such scenes of suffering, scenes
of concord and good feeling, and restor-
led Union would be speedily realized.

A TOUCHING TRIBUTE TO THE MEMO
RY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. -f.-

Among the first incidents which met
my eyes as | entered Italy was one or two,
which are eperhaps not altogether unworthy
of being read, and one of which in particu-
lar. may have peculiar interest to Amer
lean readers. | was walking through the
narrow streets of little town of Lugana,
when my eyes were attracted by we'll
known portrait suspended in front of
Shall book store. The portrait was that
of Abraham Lincoln; and you viii not
wonder that the sight alone of the famil-
lar features arrested ones footsteps, as
they hang there in that quaint medieval,
out-Of-the-way place, looking round upon
scene so wholly foreign to that other
world, of which the late President of the
United States was so vividly the persona
fication.
went up by an irresistable impulse of
respect to look at it, and was gald did
so, for l found beneath it in writing, and
in Italian, an inscription which showed
that the little portrait had in fact been at
taehed to his house by the owner, ike a
sacred immage, at once testimony of his
own faith and feelings, and an appeal to
those of his fellow-citizens. This said
the inscription, SIS portrait of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and so long as the sun shines
on men, so long shall the name of him
who redeemed four millions of slaves from
captivity, of him, who, clutching to his
strong breast the fasces of the American
Union, fell victim TO horrible assasina-
tion-so long shall his name resound great,
venerated, and bleeding through the
World.o

'fWe assert, and not without warrant, that
President Johnson has never in conversa-

said anything indicating, directly or indi-
rectly, any wish or hope that the Demo-

GovERNoR HUMPHREYS INAUGURAL.

Jackson, Mississippi, Oct. 16.-Gover-
nor Humphreys, in his inaugural says
81 have always believed that no one or
more states could constitutionally sever
the ties that unite the people of the sever
al states into one people. Those advoca-
ting the right of secession could not have
found better mode of solving the ques-
ton that the arbitrament of war. But the
question was thus referred and decided
against us. The people of Mississippi ae-
knowledged the decision and wish to re-
turn to the Union. 1t has been officially
reported that our people are insincere; but
if unfinehing fidelity in war gives evidence
of reliable fidelity in peace; if the unvary-
ing professions that spring from pri-
vate and public sources, furnish an evidence
of the truth, it is sufficiently demonstrated
that the people of the. south may be safe
Ily trusted when they profess. more than a
willingness to return to their allegiance
The state of Mississippi has already by her
own solemn act, abolished slavery. 1t is
due to her honor to show by her future
that she has done SO in. good faith, and
that slavery shall never again flourish in
our borders, in whatsoever name or guise
it is brought forward" EST u s.s

A strange sort ofperson, named Sophia
Gibouse, died recently at Cambridge,
Guersey county. 1t was always supposed
that the person in question was female,
and for twenty-five years the''publie re-
mained in ignorance of the fact that the
would be woman was in reality a man.
Not until after death was the deception
discovered. During all that time the man
was dressed as woman, and had been en-
ployed as one, doing all sorts of rough
housework from place to place.

HOW MAJOR JONES PoPPED THK QUEs-
TIDN.


ToobasRful to fpop the alestieay In the
usual way, MAJOR nespefsuadeslIis sweet
heart to put up astocking, which wiz hold
a couple of bushels, on the night when
Santa Claus pays his visits, receiving her
promise to keep forever what he gave her
Into this the gallant and lovelorn Major
contrives tointroduce himself at the switch
ing hour of night But we viii let the
Major speak for himself.
| remained up till midnight, and when
they had all gone to bed l softly went in
to the back gate and went up to the porch
and thar, sure snuff was great big meal
bag hanging to the jice.
1t was monstrous unhandy to get to it,
but | was determined not to 90 out. sot
some chairs on the top ola bench and got
hold OF the rope and let myself down in
to the bag; but just as I was getting in
the bag swung against the chairs, and
down they went with a terrible racket
But nobody didn't wake up but Miss Stall
mess great big dog, and here be cum mp
pin and tarin' thro' the yard like rath, and
round and round he went, tryin' to find
what was the matter. I sot down in the
bag and didn't breathe louder than kit
ten, for fear he'd find me out The wind
began to blow 'bominable cold, and the
old bag kept turning around, swinging so
as to make me sea sick as the mischief
was afraid to move for fear the roap would
brake and let me fall, and thar sot with
my teeth rattlin' Ike l had the ager.
1t seemed it would never come daylight,
and | do believe ifI didn't love Miss Mary
so powerful, l would have froze TO death;
for my heart was the only spot that felt
warm, and it didn't beat more an two licks
a mint only when thought how she
would be surprised in the mornin', and
then it went on canter. Bimeby, the
cussed old dog came on the porch, and
began to smell about the bag, and then he
barked ike he thought he'd treed some
thin. 'Bow, WOW, vows sez he. aBe-
gone, you abominable fool" sez /, and |
felt all over in one spot, for l 'speeted he'd
nip me; and what made it worse, didn't
know where abouts he'd take hold. Bow,
WOW, WOW! Then tried eoaxin. "Come
here good feller," sez /, and l whistled
little to him, but it was no use. There he
stood and kept up his eternal winnin' and.
barkin' all the night | couldn't tell when
daylight was breakin', only by the chick
ems CROWN and was monstrous glad to
hear 'em, for if I'd had to stay one hour
more, | don't believe I'd ever got out Of
that bag alive"
They got him in the morning, covered
with meal and almost frozen. But Miss
Mary does not refuse his present. And he
says, 81 tell you what it was worth hang
ing in bag from one Christmas to anot6-
er to feel as hapy as have ever since"
