AN UEPUBLIsHED LETTER OF MIR. LIN
coLN.-It will be remembered that long
time ago letter from Mr.. Lincoln to the
Comedian Hackett was published, in which
the deceased Executive gave short criti-

this letter gave newspaper men chance to
comment upon ii seeing these Mr., Lincoln
wrote to Mr.. Hackett as follows:
MY note to you certainly did not expect
to see in print; yet have not been much
shocked by these newspaper comments upon
ii. These comments constitute fair speci-
men of what has accursed me through life.
I have endured great deal of ridicule with
out much malice, and have received great
deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule.

The DAVENPORT BROTHERS AT PARIS
A correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
thus describes the manner in which the
Brothers were exposed -
The Brothers" began by taking their seats
in the mysterious cupboard, which was ex-
amined by Count Cluny and NJ Henri De
Pene, after which NJ. Duchemin, an engi-
neer, firmly tied the brothers" with the
rope. The doors of the cupboard were then
closed, the gas was extinguished, and the
spectators waited patiently for the spiritual
manifestations. Nothing, however, appeared,
and the public began to hiss AT length the
doors opened, and the brothers" were dis
covered unbound, with the rope at their
feet NJ, Duchemin upon this took up the
rope to examine it, and declared it was not
the one he had used This produced a per-
feet tumult upon the spectators, which was
increased by the manager announcing that
the brothers" would now proceed to tie
themselves up. The stage was Immediately
invaded by the public; the Brothers pru-
IDENTIFY disappeared, and the performance
terminated by the appearance of some SER
gents dc gille, who cleared the room While
this was going on, NJ. Robin exposed all the
tricks of the Brothers in his sale on the
Boulevard, and enlivened his demonstration
with numerous witty illusions, which were
evidently much relished by his audience.

A FATAL MIsTAKE-A WIFE SHOT DEAD
BY HER HUSBAND IN MISTAKE FOR A BUR
GLAR.-At a late hour on Saturday night Mr.
Perkins, residing in Sidney, at the corner of
Belvidere and Cary Streets, was aroused
from his bed by his wife, who said there
we're burglars in the house. Mr. Perkins
arose and examined the house, but found no
burglars He returned to his bed, but some
time during the night heard or though, he
heard somebody moving through the house.
He got up, took his revolver, and seeing
somebody moving at his chamber door, fired.
Horrible TO relate, the shot took effect in the
breast of his wife, from the effects of which
she died soon after. The husband who, of
course, was beside himself with grief at the
occurrence, Immediately surrendered him
self, but as the tragedy was shown to be of a
purely accidental nature, he was discharged.
The affair has thrown the whole of Sidney
into state of the most painful commotion.

There is a mystic threat of life,
So deeply wreatiIed with mine alone,
That de.tiny's RELENTLESS knife
At once must sever both or none.
There is a form on which these eyes
Have often gazed with fond delight;
By day that form their joy supplies,
And dreams restore il through the night.
There il a voice whose tones inspire
Such thrills of rapture through my breast,
i would not hear a ,eraph choir.
Unless that voice could join the rest.
There is a face whose blu.hes tell
Affection tale upon the check
But palid at one fond farewell,
Proclainis more love than words can speak
There is a lip which mine hath pressed,
And none hath ever pressed before;
1t vowed to make me -wc-tly blest
And mine-nine only pressed it moro.
There l. tDsom-ail my own
Hath yiinwed oft this aching head,
A mouth which smiles on me alone,
An eve whose tears with mine are shead.
There two hearts whose NOV ements thrill
In unison 81 closely sweet,
That pulse 10 pulse responsive still,
They both must live, or cease To- beat.
There are two souls. whose equal flow
In gentle streams so calmly run,
That when they I,art.-they part '-ah, no,
They cannot part-the souls are one!
