"NOtliing but II Man."

In 1864 | attended the last reception of
the season, at the White House, taking with
me my little daughter, who had an intense
desire to see the good President, who had
set the poor slaves free.
! had not seen Mr.. Lincoln for more than
Il year, and as / drew near TO where he stood,
going through his weary, monotonous task
of Misunderstanding, wondered if he would re-
member my face among the countless faces
that beset and besieged him, or passed in
mute review before him, since the pleasant
evening on which had convcrsed most free
ly with him and heard most of his easy,
charming, cordial talk
But. before he could be presented, he gave
me a shock of pleasant surprise by stretch
ing his hand over the shoulder of gentle
man with whom he was conversing, and
greeted me by name, with the smile and tone
of an old friend. When he perceived little
A, the pleased look of n true child-lover
came into his sad eyes. "ls this your little
dauahter?n he asked GLOW do you do,
dear?" AS he held her little hand, the child
raised to his face her large, brown eyes, full
of tender reverence. The look seemed to
touch him: he smiled Il smile that was
benediction, then bent and kissed her.
She blushed but said nothing till we had
passed on step or two, when she exclaimed,
~ ny, he is only IL man, allel all4
Something in the tone struck the Prcsi-
dent. and he asked what she had said. When
| repeated the naive remark, his worn face
was again lit by that sudden smile of quaint
kindly humor so peculiar to him-that flash
of soul sunshine that once seen, could never
be forgotten.
had not the opportunity to tell Mr.. Lin
coin of scene in the past which the little
incident brought to my mind. In noble
old New England town, years on years ago,
there was once n great gathering of people,
to see no less a parsonage than the first great
President of the Republic, who was TO be
received and entertained by the noble Gov
ernor of the State-the "Brother Jonathan"
of the Revolution. At last he came-the
beloved ruler, the matchess gentleman,
slowly riding beside the good Governor, be-
tween the ranks of soldiers and crowds of
citizens, bowing graciously, though some
what coldly, to the right and left OF him.
"Oh, father,n cried dark-eyed boy to a
gentleman who held him by the hand, 81
can't see him. Please lift me up so that !
can look over the peoples heads.n The kind
gentleman lifted him high in his arms, and
the child looked full in the face of Washing
ton. As he did so, his own eager counte-
nance fell, and he exclaimed, "Why, father,
he is nothing but a man, after ALL"
Washington heard, paused a moment, and
with an amused smile, replied to the child.
"Yes, my little lad; nothing but man.
1t seems to me an odd coincidence that at
the sight of our Second Washington, my lit
tie daughter had repeated the simple thought
and almost the words of her grandlather,-

Extensive DistiIlery Frauds De-
tcctcd. .

Some of the Government Revenue Off
cials in Brooklyn, n. Y, are now busily en-
gagged in investigating a series of frauds of
stupendous character which have been per-
petrated on the Revenue ip. The business of
distiling whiskey and alcohol. A short
time ago, it will be remembered, two dis
tilleries were seized, one in Blissville, Long
Island, and the other in Franklin avenue,
Brooklyn.
They were both owned by a company Of
Germans whose names could not be asccr-
tanned, but two men named Bohmc and Au-
gus were the reputed possessors, and the
matter was compromised with the Govern
ment by the payment of one hundred and
lorty-three thousand dollars for the release
of the distilcries. The owners then went
TO work, ostensibly TO manufacture burning
fluid, on which there is no duty. But the
government detectives have been watching
them closely, and yesterday these distiler-
les. MS well as two others n New orll, and
one in New Jersey, owncH-st the same COM
pany. were seized. According TO the inlor-
nation lodged with the District Attorney it
appears that the manufacture of burning
fluid was a sham, that alcohol was distilled
and than mixed with about ten per cent of
spirits of turpentine and other drugs which
gave it the appearance of burning fluid.
In this condition it was taken from the
distillery. By simple chemical process
the turpentine and other mixtures were af-
terwards taken from the casks, and the re-
mainder was alcohol, worth four dollars per
gallon, on each gallon of which the Govern
ment had been delrauded of two dollars.
II is CALCULATED that during the twenty days
that the firm has been engaged in this bust
ness its members have cleared over four
hundred thousand dollars.
Another fraud of a worse character has
come to light in one of the collection dis
tricts of Brooklyn. a special commissioner
from Washington will investigate the mat
ter this week. In this case former Gov
ernment Assessor is charged with having
formed ring composed of L. S. detectives
and officials connected with the collection
department by which Il large number of dis
tilleres have been run without paying any
revenue to the Government for two years
past. The principal operator in the matter
is reported to have made over a million and
half of dollars during the time he has
been engaged in it. The investigation will
doubtless disclose an extraordinary state of

Europcnn Complications.

Though Europe is now at peace, after
the sudden termination of the great war
that threatened at one time to shake the
continent throughout its limits, there are
ominous mutterings of wars to come which
will have more important results than any
since the days of Napoleon Bonaparte
The late war left Prussia a power Of the
very first rank in Europe, with several
temptations to aggrandizcment in the shape
oflittle German States onher borders. There
is undoubtedly a strong national feeling
throughout Germany, and the work ofPrus-
sia, without these States, is not yet done,
any more than is that of Italy while she has
not possessesion of the States of the church.
Prussia, will in time, swallow all the minor
German States, and thus secure German
nationality. Nobody who has studied the
recent history of that power can doubt it.
Meanwhile France is the only power that
Prussia has reason to fear. Austria has
just been so well whipped that she will
scarcely want TO try it over again Italy is
bound to Prussia by ties Of common inter-
est, and, IN any event, would be powerless
as an opponent Russia has her own ''ket-
tie of fish TO attend to and England has
the same rs surrendered her position as a
member of the European hegcmony. Lou
is Napoleon has seen the swift success of
Prussia with jealous regrets, and the French
people have natural hatred for the Prus-
slams. The French Emperor forward
the late war to the glory Of himself and
France, but the unexpected prowess of the
Prussians spoiled his little plans, and his
humiliation was complete when his propo-
stion to extend the French boundary TO the
Rhine was promptly refused by the victori-
Gus Prussians. He will naturally oppose
the future increase of Prussian power, and
for the same reason that he is bound to op-
pose the march of Russia to the Bosphorus.
Meanwhile it has been rumored that an al
lance has been formed between Russia and
Prussia, the great Northern powers of Eu-
rope. If this is true it is a very important
event, and its purpose must be something of
no small moment. These two nations com
bined, with the sympathy if not the actual
support of Italy are more than a match for
all the rest of Continental Europe. That is,
they cannot be successfully opposed where
they will operate,--in Germany and Tur-
key.-whatever might be done on n field
equally accessible to both parties. The al
lance of Russia and Prussia means an eX-
tension of the Russian Empire to the Bos-
phorus and the possession Of Constantnople,
and the verlicaton of Germany under the
rule OF the Ifusslun dynasty. IhlS Delng
effected Russia and Prussia would hold the
first rank of power in Europe, and France
would rank next to them, without power to
disturb any arrangement they might make.
This is the great game now on the European
chess board, and we shall see how it will
end We are inclined TO believe that the
alliance of the two great Northern powers
would seem so formidable just at this time
thar they could carry out their programme
without serious experimentation Herald

woman's Rights Convention.

Letters from prominent men were re-
ceived and read at the Woman's Rights
Convention recently held at Albany, N. Y.
Among them were Judge Sewell and Rev.
j. f. Clarke of Boston, and Geo. w, Curtis
of New York. The latter says
"Women have quite as much interest in
good government as men, and | have no
more doubt of their amelorating influence
upon politics than have of the influence
they exert every where else But the ques-
ton is new to practical consideration, and
there is a very general and not unnatural
feeling that it will be time to change the old
tradition when those to be benefited by the
change care enough about it to demand it,
