The Historic Abraham Lincoln.

The verdict of the future, looking
upon Lincoln, must be this: That in
o time Of intense excitement allprevad
ing, all-arousing, when feeling was pas
siOnate, apprehensions vivid, the emo
tions of continent preternaturally
stirred, and when anger easily turned
to malignity, and a just indignation
became vindicitive thirst for ven
geance-he kept his frank and kindly
temper, and in the midst of all the
jealousies and the fierce animosities
raging around him, was 10 the end "a
patient and calm, as ready in sympathy
and as sweet in forgiveness, as if no wal
storms vexed the land. That in time
ofimmence opportunity for any dis
honest greed and gain, his integrity
was as perfect as the luster in the dia
mond, as the blue in the sky; that with
millions of gold waiting his word for
their secret distribution, he touched no
penny that was not his, and fell in death
as uneorrupt as when he entered on his
great office. That in time of prOdigi
Gus, unanticipated movement, without
precedent or parallel, when forces as
wide AS the country itself, as vehement
as its winds, and as fiery as lightning
were loosened in the tremendous COLI
sion; when shrewdest schemes were ~
powerless for the crisis as bulwarks o
paper against the whirlwind; when al
the foundations seemed ou. of course
and only Omniscicuce could forecast the
end--he showed an extraordinary sagaci-
ty and prudence, ,ommi ting himself to
no peremptory theory awaiting himself
of all mems counsel; arguing against his
own convictions, until he had tested
their correctness; following patiently
the indications of events; and finally
leading the nation which had trusted
him, by ways untrod until he trod
them from the precipice to the plain,
and out OF the thunderous uproar aud
gloom to the dawn OF bright prophetic
day. That, when lifted to an eminence
in the public confidence, and the popu-
lar regard such .. few before him ever
occupied, and exercising powers everl

A novel method Of supplying locomotives
with water while in motion, which has
been for some time in use In England, 10
about to be introduced In this country. It
has been experimental on by the Hudson
River Railroad Company, and with the
greatest success. Recently, At Montrose
Station, near Peekskill, there was con.
structed in the centre of the truck . trough.
1.e00 feet in length, Is inches in depth and
1S inches wide. This was lined with sheet
iron, heavily pointed Tho trough is per-
fectly straight, will hold 5000 gallons of
water, and 10 fed by . couple of springs to
the north and cast Of IT, About the same
time that the construction Of tho trough
was commenced, locomotive No. q was To-
ken to the repair.shop. Here in quiet
manner, skillful workmen In short time
fitted her out with ingeniously constructed
machinery, connected with her tender. to
draw the water from the trough. From
the man hole in the tender down through
the latter to position inside Of the hind
trucks, runs m ingeniously formed pipe
The pipe curls ~ it leaves the manhole,
and after forming half circle 10 fitted
with . nozzle At its end, which always
points the way the engine IL going. An
iron bar 10 fastened to the nozzle, which
connects to another bar from point near
the fireman's box. When the locomotive
approaches the trough, the nozzle can be
dropped instantaneously into tho water,
while the train Is running thirty miles an
hour: The nozzle sinks only to the depth
Of two idches into the trough, yet when the
1900 feet are passed over, 1854 gallons Of
water will have been drawn into the tender.
The first experiments In taking water BY
this new method were made few days ago.
The locomotive dashed over the rails at the
rate of thirty five miles an hour. Al the
nozzle struck tho water the 6uid rushed
into the tender with . roar of young Nj
agary, and when the trough was left be-
hind the tender was full. The experiment
was great success, and gave complete sat.

Railroad Company. It'll next proposed to
locate trough between Hudson and Cats.

Loss OF LIFE IN MODERN WAna-In .
recent speech by Mr.. Pease, N. p. for South
Durham, he remarked that in very instruc-
tive volume lately published in France, a
careful estimate Compiled from authentic
documcnts) was made Of the cost in lives Of
recent European wars. The Crimean war
was stated to have cost 7s4, 800 lives; the
war in Italy in 1857, $4,000; in schleswig.
Holstein; $500, the American war, SOC, ,0c0;
the Prussian war, ~, ,OoG Mexico and China,
65. 65.0C0-making q total, between 1858 to
1866, OF 1.750, 900 livcs and those were men
in the prime of life, men who ought to have
been useful and productive citizens. And
besides all these, there were the MANNED,
the halt, and the blind, who were scattered
over oil the nations Of Europe Such were
the effects Of thirteen years war in the nine.
tecnth century. n. Leroy Beaulieu, in his
ReekereAss ssr les F'serres Centessperaiass
(the work alluded to BY Mr.. Pease,) supplies
some very curious statistics about the cost
Of war.
It 10 really surprising to zee how much
money IL spent for every man killed on the
6eld or sent away to die Of his wounds or Of
some sickness Of the camp. The thing wa
done with comparative cheapness In the Cri-
mean war. where . vast number Of men
were got together at very close quarters.
Between the Russians and the Allies there
were more than threc-quarters Of = million
men killed, each Of them at price Of e4s3.
On the other hand, the maximum Of cost
was reached In the American civil war.
Each one Of the eo0, 900 deaths (though thia
il small estimate, we should ima9ins,) wal
purchased BY IN expenditure Of Gs,3l6.
