"A Paris Exposition letter says:-
"The American department of arms
seems to attract Napoleon's attention
more than any other in the exposition.
He comes there very often and makes
queries and gets statistics of the hum
blest. Indeed he shows his good taste
by examining our models, for they
comprise one Of the few redesming fea-
lures of our department. There are
the famous guns which threw shells so
many miles during the rebellion, and
guns and pistols from all the great pri-
vate and public manufactures of arms
in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
York." -.. -.......

selves in the reception hall, forty feet
by twenty, and twelve feet high, with

pine panels. To the left is the groom's
room; 10 the right the feed room. and

rimony to lady, schoolmistress born
in the North, but then engaged in teach
ing in that place. He was married by
a Richmond clergyman, and on Sunday
last Mr.. Greeley heard this clergyman

The New York Independent relates
the following of "Tad" Lincoln. "We
have received the following from the
ex-postmaster of Brooklyn: 3d..
BROOKLYN, May Q, 1867.
"1fy Dear Mr.. IiLt0n:
"While on my recent trip into the
West, 1 met the principal of one of the
public schools in Chicago, who gave
me the following statement of facts, so
curious and suggestive that could not
refrain from giving it to you.
"When Mrs. President Lincoln took
up her residence in Chicago, she decid-
ed to send her son Thomas [better
known to the public as "Tad,'') to one
of the excellent public schools of that
city. From early childhood, Tad had
suffered Dy an lnpeOllnenC OF SpeeCnS
by which 1t was difficult for strangers
to understand him. While at Wash
ington he was almost necessarily neg
lected, and when he reached the school
it was found that he was sadly deficient
in the elements of learning. When
asked by his teacher if he had ever
been at school, he replied, Il had a
teacher in Washington, but he did not
like me much, and did not like him
very well; SO between us both we did
not learn much.' When Tad came to
be classified, first by qualification and
then by size, it came to pass that he
came in regular order, shoulder to
shoulder with black boy, who had
been slave down South until the great
proclamation set him free. In this con-
tact the lad displayed the manliness of
his illustrious father by treating the
colOred boy with the same kindness
and consideration with which he
treated the white boys of his class, and
at times by defending him when Insult
ed by other boys. His conduct was re-
ported unexceptionable; but the colored
boy advances the most rapidly.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE B. LINCOLN"
