"NorHING BUT A MAN."-In the spring
of 1864, | attended the last morning re-
ception OF the season, ut the White
House; taking with mt my little daugh-
ter, 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 q year, and as ! drew near to
where he stood, going patiently through
his weary, monotonous task Of hand
shaking, | wondered if he would remem-
Der my face among the countless faces
that had beset and besieged him, or
passed in mute review before him, since
the pleasant evening on which had
conversed most freely with him, and
heard most of his easy, charming, cor
dial talk. But, before | could be pre-
scented, he gave me a shock of pleasant
surprise by stretching his hand over the
shoulder Of u gentleman with whom he
was conversing, and greeting me by
name, with the smile and tone of an old
friend. When he perceived little A,
the pleased look Of u true child-lover
came into his sad eyes. 'Is this your
little daughter?" he said. "How do you
do, dear?" AS he took her hand, the
child raised to his face, large, brown
eyes, full of tender reverence. The look
seemed to touch him; he smiled a smile
that was a benediction, then bent and
kissed her. She blushed, but said moth
ing till we had passed on Il step or two,
when she exclaimed, "Why, he is only
a man, after ALL" Something in the
tone struck the President and he asked
what she had said. When I repeated
the naive remark, his worn face again
lit by the sudden smile Of quaint kindly
humor so peculiar to him-that fash Of
soul-sunshine that once seer could never
be forgotten.
I had not the opportunity to tell Mr..
Lincoln ofp scene in the past which this
little incident brought to my mind. In
a noble old New England town, years
on years ago, there was once a gather
ing ~ofpeople, to see no less a parsonage
than the first great President Of the re-
public, who wa to be received and en-
tertained by the noble governor of the
state-the "Brother Jonathan of the
Revolution. At last he came-the be-
loved ruler, the hero without stain, the
patriot without flaw, the matchless gen.
tleman, slowly riding beside the good
governor, between ranks of soldiers and
crowds Of citizens, bowling graciously,
though somewhat coldly, to tho right
and left of him. "Oh, father" cried a
little dark-eyed boy to a gentleman who
held him by the hand, 81 can't see him!
Please lift me up so that l can look over
the peoples heads" The kind gentle
man lifted him high in his arms, and
the child looked full in the face Of
Washington. AS he did so his own
eager countenance fell, and he ex-
claimed, "Why, father, he is nothing
but a man, after ALL" Washington
heard, paused a moment, and, with an
amused smile, replied to the child:
ayes, my little lad; nothing but a man"
It seemed to me an old coincidence that,
at sight Of our second Washingto, my
little daughter had repeated the simple
thought and almost the words of her
grandfather.-Graee Greenwood.

TREASON 0DIous IN KESrucKY.-It be-
ing proposed at Louisville to honor the
remains Of General Hanson with a dis
play of the ex-Confederate military and
flag, General Thomas, by special order,
prohibited any such demonstration.
whereupou the Louisville Courier is
indignant, and exclaims:
"The irony of Ancharsis, the Scytai-
an, has received a new illustration.
Returned rebels, weeping over the re-
mains, or scattering flowers upon the
grave Of a dead comrade, are weak in
sects to be ensnared in the meshes Of
law, while your big bugs, with shoulder
straps, swords and spurs, go unimpeded
through them

THE New York correspondent Of the
Boston Journal says: Commodore
Vanderbilt, the other day, gave the rea-
son why he presented the Vanderbilt to
the United States Government. He has
been all his life a stout opponent OF
black mailing; he has steadfastly resist
ed all drafts made on him. Harlem and
the Central would have been CONSOLE
dated, if he had not honored the call
for $500 He found he could not sell
the Vanderbilt to the Government with
out feeding a set Of vagabonds that were
hanging around the city. He therefore
presented the ship outright rather than
be black-mailed. His idea of business
is rather peculiar. His office is in the
rear OF his house, adjoining his stables.
He comes in about 8 o'clock. A digest
Of letters and papers laid before him on
a prepared sheet. Running his eve over
the list, he dots down YES and no, or
gives some brief direction to each. This
rarely consumes more than twenty min
utes. He then goes out with some con-
idential friend to attend to what he
calls business, which consists of going
ont to his stables and infinitely examin-
ing his horses. After this he holds a
levee in his Office, and rides up to the
Harlem and Hudson railroad. The Com
modore is not only getting old, but he
feels it. He has divided and settled up
his great estate ready for his departure.
He will take no new business, refusing
everything, saying money is no object.
He holds the Presidency of the Hudson
and Harlem roads only to benefit Will
liam, his son of whom he is very proud.
This son of the Commodore promises to
become one Of the first railroad men OF
the country."-N. y. Tribune.

The French transport Allier, nine hun

ment. His object was to obtain the

! one of the last arrived in nineteen days

nor Francisco Marty, lessee of the TacOn
theateT, comprised lot Of 100, which he

tleman is one Of those very subscribers
who got upa covenant not very long ago
whereby they bound themselves not TO
buy any slaves born in Africa. So much

told, has more of these EthiOpians still

IN Spain there must be even more ap-
prehension Of the capture of Spanish
vessels than exists here. Let me give
you an instance. The consignees of the
brig Manuel received peremptory orders
| by last mail from heOwneTs to the effect,
II still IN time, not by any means to send
the vessel to BuenOs Ayres, for which
country she had been destined to carry a
mixed cargo Of sugar, rum, etc, the
greater part Of which was already on
board and the vessel on the point of sail
ing, Snd she will therefore have to be
| unloaded again and be sent back to
Spain as directed. Nearly all our war
vessels are absent, cruising gaund the
