she was tied and there detained for
q week, while the scoundrel effected
his vile purpose, without the miser-
able victim being able to offer the
slightest resistance. Two men. who
were out hunting, unexpectedly came
upon her, still tightly bound and

Learning from the wretched girl the
circumstances of the atrocity prac-

his coming they at once seized and
secured him. Believing that the vic

WOMAN'S DEVOTION AND

Romantic Incidentin Tennessee

Z.
From the McMinnville (Tenn.) Register.
AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
In one of the mountain counties
of Middle Tennessee, an incident oc-
Cured in the early part of the war
which goes to show that determined
courage and noble daring are not al
ways confined to the strength and
muscle. 1t serves" to show, too,
that swift avenging justice some
times overtakes the offender in a
way the least expected.
Previous to the outbreak in 1861,
a young man of much promise and
moral worth, located in a rural
neighborhood in one Of the upper
counties, for the purpose of pursu-
ing the practice of medicine, the
study of which he had just complet-
ed. And when the war came on he
was among the few faithful whose
honest heart was set upon the flag
of his country. But such was the
force Of the title of secession and
rebellion which swept over the coun-
try as to make submission for the
time being virtue; and he content
ed himself by quietly pursuing his
calling, in attending the bedside OF
the sick, awaiting with patience the
day when the turbid stream should
pass away, and the flag Of the Union
should again float in the country
breeze. - s~----
The day came at length, and the
Union army passed through the
country, and every man was requir-
ed to swear allegiance to the Gov
ernment. The young doctor was the
first to take the oath, and this act at
once made him mark for rebel ha-
tired and rebel bullets. Nor was il
long ere his life paid the penalty
Three young men of the neighbor-
hood were selected as the willing
agents in making him an example to
all who should dare thus to welcome
again the old flag. They went in
the boarding house, and finding him
seated at the dinner table, rushed in
and ordered him to surrender, at the
same time opening fire upon him in
his defenceless condition. Several
balls took effect as he rose and at

Mrs. LincOln's sale of her Ward
robe.

For a few days past rumors have
been floating around New York tha
Mrs Lincoln, the wife of the martyr
some weeks ago sent to New 7 orl
commission house the extensive ane
costly wardrobe OF which she was
known to lie possessed, with direc.
tons to sell it for what it would
bring.
The run o. was set down as 9
canard, but the publication Of hel
letters TO Brady the commission
merchant, removes all doubts, on tho
subject.
Plain people will not wonder a
her selling the unnecessarily ricl
clothing and jewelry Of which she
possessed herself during the occu.
p:ncy of the White House, but hel
reasons therefor. arc, to such, hard
y satisfactory. Ferore the eleva

Ell expended the amount Isl, ,700) to
which she says she is now limited
and were she half q woman-were
She possessed Of a particle Of res
pect for the memory of her husband
--she would return to her orig
inal simple style of living, rather
than subject herself to the unfavor
able comment proceeding so eX
traordinary would be certain to bring
out.
We do not doubt the truth Of her
statement as to income. She might
have had more, but she preferred
four years of show and glitter. and
that could not be without eXpending
all of her husbands salary, and pos
sibly more. She was ambitious OF
"leading' Washington society; she
delighted, as the schedule of her
''property' shows, in jewels. gew-
gaws, and the rich articles of dress
and as a matter of course, she had
little left but these at the close Other
cs ter.
Mrs. Lincoln threw away great
opportunities. She ought to have
been at the head Of the great benev-
olent enterprises that sprung into
being with the war, but she had nc
taste in that direction. She prefer
red the glitter of society to the
glo ON of the hospital, and during al
the years of the war, it cannot be
said that she, the wife of the Presi-
dent. was of any use to the great
cause for which he died. She might
have gone down to future genera
tions, hand in hand with her great
husband. but she was not equal to
the occasion. That she is what the
nation did not like to believe four
years ago, weak, vain, trifiing wo-
man, was shown by her frivolity dur
ing the darkest days of the Republic
that she is worse than that, the
fact that she makes merchandise OF
her widowhood-that she calls VI.
the ghost of her martyred husband
to sell her baubles, abundantly
proves. For the sake of the mem
DRY of her dead husband, let the peo-
pie give this woman enough to sat
isfy her-enough to keep her in the
circles in which she desires to move
that the fact of her being the wid
ow of Abraham Lincoln, may never
again be used as an advertisement
for her second hand clothing. To-

A Great Natural Curiosity.
The Sentinel, published at Jack.

j
sonville, Oregon, says: aa~ E
"Several of our citizens returned
last week from a visit to the gre:,t
sunken lake situated in Cascade
Mountains, about seventy five miles
northeast of Jacksonville. This
lake rivals the famous valley of Sin
bad the Sailor It is thought. to
average two thousand feet down to
the water all around. The walls are
almostperpendicular, running down
into the water, leaving no beach.
The depth Of the water is unknown,
and its surface is smooth and un-
ruf1ied, as it lies so far beneath the
surface of the mountains that the
air currents do not affect it! Its
length is estimated at twelve miles
and its breadth at ten.
"No living man has ever, and
probably never will, be able to reach
the waters edge. 1t lies silent, still,
and mysterious in the bosom of the
everlasting hills like huge well,
scooped out by the hands of the
great genii Of the mountain, in un-
known ages gone by, and around it
the primeyal forest watch and guard
are keeping. The visiting party
fired rifle several times into the
water, at an angle Of forty five de-
grees, and were able to note several
seconds Of time from the report of
the gun until the ball struck the
water Such seems incredible, but
is vouched for by some Of our most
reliable citizens. The lake is GER

Not long ago, a delegation of Iudia
Chiefs from the Far West, who ha
been on to Washington. on busines
connected with their tribes, passe
through Cincinnati en- route for thei
homes. One of their number becam
so infatuated with Cincinnati lage
beer, that he was left behind. The fol
lowing touching lines-after the man
ner of g sBingen on the Rhine'-wer
suggested by seeing the noble red ma
in beer garden, engaged in the viii
and hopeless task of drinking old lage
beer drinkers tight:
An Injun sat in garden .,.-
Drinking his lager beer,
He had left his wigwam on the plains
And his squaw she wasn't near;
But Dutch gal stood beside him
To hear what he should sey,
And replied to his Injun jargon-
nix cum harous, unit nix verstay."
This beery Injun blubbered
-%t AS he took that Dutch girls hand,
And said, ME never more shall see
Me own, me native land;
Bear a message-and scalp or two
To those distant friends of mine,
For 1 am big Injun-
Big Injun over the Rhine''
go tell my brother warriors,
AS they sit the camp fire round,
And listen to my story,
All squatting on the ground,
That drank my lager bravely,,
From morn till set cf sun
Beat the Dutch at their own game,
Beat every mcther's son;
For sprawled among the empty kegs
Were some grown old on beer
Injun never tasted none,
Until he first came here!
Not one mid all that throng can say
He e'er heard me decline
tell we I'm Big Injun-
Big Injun over the Rhine.'
p ''Tell my mother that her other sons
Shall comfort her old age,
Chase the buffalo, scalp the drivers
Of the overland mail stage;
For my father was a warrior bold,
And cen a pappoose,
I joyed to know that the old man,
=, Was sound upon the goose
And when he died.. and left us
To divide his scanty hoard,
let them take whate er they would,
But kept my fathers gourd;
Now take and fill it high with beer,
Let's see the lager shine
Gross glass for the Big Injun-
Big Injun over the Rhine"
''Tel1 my sister not to whimper
Because she misses one
When the Injun delegation
Comes back from Waship gton;
But look upon them proudly,
And never shed a tear,
Her brothers the only Injun
AS amt afraid of beer.
And if some brave her love should seek
Then it would please me mutch,
If mingled with his Injun blood
Was just a shade of Dutch.
I'd drink his health in this old gourd
(My fathers gourd and mine,
For the honor of Big Injun-
Big Injun over the Rhine.''
His voice grew faint and hoarser,
His legs seemed limp and weak,
He hiccupped feebly with his gourd,
Hiccupped and ceased tc speak,
A policeman bent to lift him,
The task it wasn't light,
The savage from beyond the plains
q Lay cross the table tight.
And the soft moon rose up slowly,
AS the lights seemed burning lower,
And the loud Teutonic music .
Was drowned by the Red Mans snore.
He fell early in the battle
Twas only half-past nine
This boastful, beery Injun-
Big Injun over the Rhine.
