of his hero. Here it Isl
81 am Cheap Jack, and my own
fathers name was Willum Marigold.
1t was in his lifetime supposed by some
that his name was William, but my own
father always consistently said, No, it
was Willum. On which point content
myself with looking at the argument in
this way: If man is not allowed to know
his own name i'm a free country, how
much is he allowed to know in q land OF
saverye As to looking at the argument
through the medium of the register,
Willum Marigold came into the world
before registers come up much-and
went out Of it too. They wouldn't have
been greatly In his line neither, II they
had CHANGED to come up before him.

but it was the Kings at that time. A
doctor was fetched to my own mother by
my own father, when 1t took place on /,
common: In consequence of his being a
very fine gentleman, and accepting no
fee but toa-tray, l was named Doctor,
out of gratitude and compliment to him.

The Boston Journal states that "at the
Thanksgiving dinner Of the Americans
in Paris, the toast-'His Majesty, the
Emperor Of the French, was given,
when an excited American leaped from
his seat, and jumping into the middle
of the aisle, cried out, No American can
drink that toast while single French
soldier remains in Mexico The guests
generally, however, seemed to consider
that, under all the circumstances, any
demonstration of ill-feeling was out OF
place, and SO drank and cheercd His
Majesty, although neither very deeply
nor heartily" This American cub had
better return as soon as possible, and

vulgar person into the cataract. Well

surface during the war, a creature who,

would shield himself behind a hired

The German Turner Associations,
had very pleasant assemblage at their
Hall on Main Street last evening, and
perhaps we should say this morning,
for it was past the small hours, when
we last heard the sweet discourse of
Whiddon, that imam ofsin" who in the
language of Amindab Sleek, "rubbeth
the hair of the horse against the bowels
of the cat" and saw the enthusiastic
"on with the dance" which none know
better how to enjoy than our industri-
Gus friends from "faderland" and their
descendants. Their jovial indulgencies
are always hearty and healthy, and the
spirits of their fun far exceeds that of
their "lager," but there is sufficient ex-
liberation in an assemblage of "fair
women and brave men" without other
stimulants, and that is the reason why
our German population are always so
orderly in their sports.
The decorations of the hall were very
neat and appropriate, but little ''too
Dutch" for our comprehension, SO far as
sentiment was concerned, but the
artist, on the walls, performed his part
with skill, and added much to the effect
Of the may merry-making.

upon the occasion:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: It is with deep and
sincere concern that have to aocompa-
ny my first official act with expressions of
coincidence. On Saturday last the cere-
meny that takes place to-day was to have
been performed, but the gracious inten-
tions of the late lamented President were
forestalled by events which have plunged
this country in CONSERVATION and afiio-
tion, and which will call forth in Great
Britain feelings of horror, as we'll as of
profound sympathy.
1t becomes, therefore, my duty, sir, to
present the letter from my Sovereign, of
which am the bearer, to you as Presi-
dent of the United States, and it is with
pleasure / convey the assurances of re-
gard and good will which her Majesty en-
tertains toward you, sir, as President of
the United States. l am further direct
ed to express her Majesty's friendly dis
position toward the great nation of which
you are Chief Magistrate, and her hearty
good wishes for its peace, prosperity, and
welfare.
Her Majesty has nothing more at heart
than to conciliate those relations of ami
ity and good understanding which have
so long and so happily existed between
the two kindred nations of the United
States and Great Britain; and it is in that
spirit that am directed to perform the
duties of the important and honorable
post confided to me. Permit me to say,
sir, that it shall be the object of my ear
nest endeavors to carry out my instruc-
tions faithfully in this respect, and to ex
press the hope, sir, that you will favora-
bly, consider my attempts to merit your
appreciation, and to give effect to the
friendly intentions of the Queen and her
Majesty's Government. have the hon

A POEM REeITEO BY MR. LIWeoLN.

To the Editor of the N. T. Evening Posi-.
| have been urged by several friends to
send you the enclosed poem, written down
by myself from Mr.. Lincoln's Inns. and
although 1t may net be new TO all of your
readers, the events of the last week give
it now peculiar interest.
The circumstances under which this
copy was written are these: l was with
the President alone One evening In his
room, during the time / was painting NV
large picture at the White House, last
year. He presently threw aside his pen
and papers, and began to talk to me of
Shakespeare. He sent little Tad" his
son. to the library 20 bring copy of the
plays, and then read to me several OF his
tavorite passages, showing genuine appre
citation Of the great poet. Relapsing into
sadder strain. he laid the book aside.
and leaning back in his chair, said:
There is poem which has been a
great favorite with me for years, which
was first shown to me, when a young man
by a friend, and which afterward saw
and cut from a newspaper, and learned
by heart l would, he continued, give
a great deal to know who wrote it, but /
have never been able to ascertain.
Then half closing his eyes, he repeated
to me the lines which | enclose to Won.
Greatly pleased and interested, / told
him l would like, If ever an 0ppoFtuni-
! ty occurred, to write them down from his
| lips He said he would sometime try 10
| give them to me. A few days afterward
| he asked me to accompany him to the
temporary studio of Nj Swayne, the
sculptor, who was making = bust of him
at the Treasury Department While ne
was sitting for the bust, 1 was suddenly
reminded Of the poem, and said to him
that then would be a good time to dictate
it to me He complied, and sitting upop
some books at his feet, as nearly as / can
remember, wrote the lines down, one bv
one, from his lips
With great regard, very truly yours.

The sword of power, the nations trust!
In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe that bushes all,
And speak the anguish of land
That shook with horror at thy fall.
Thy task is done the bond are free;
We bear thee to an honOred grave,
