 1 gerous demoralzation of our times, that another | body, illegitimate in it's inception and without responsibility, pop9larly known. as the ,lobbysr assumes to dictate both to the national Congress and to the State Legislature in all matters of leg

Tho Daatb Of ssTadv Lincoln.

The death of Thomas Todd lincoln,
Familiarity known to evefybody inthe
United States during the war as Tad
Lincoln, of the White House, occurred
on Saturday at Chicago. During the oe1
cupancy of the presidential chair by his
father Abraham Lincoln, Tad kept the
executive mansion alive with his pranks
and fantastic enterprises. The New York
Tribune says: .. r..u.s4
In his boyish years he was idolized by
both his father and mother, petted and in
dulged by his teachers, and fawned upon
and caressed by that noisom horde of Of
fice-seekers which invested the ante-rooms
of the White House. He had so much to
do that he felt he could not waste time in
learning to spell. Early in the morning
you could hear his shrill pipe resounding
through the dreary corridors of the execu-
tive residence. The day passed in rapid
succession of plots and connections, and
when the President laid down his weary
pen toward midnight, he generally found
his infant goblin asleep under his table or
roasting his curly head by the open fire.
place and the tall chief would pick up
the child and trudge off to bed with the
drowsy little burden on his shoulder, stoop-
ing under the doors and lodging the
chandeliers. The President took infinite
comfort in the child's rude health, fresh
fun, and uncomfortable boisterousness.
He was pleased to see him growing in
Oh DOCKS, DuJ Will SlHSuldlly dC-
curate ideas of practical matters. He treat
ed flatterers and office-seekers with a
curious GOODNESS and contempt, but lie of
ten espoused the cause of some poor widow
or tattered soldier, whom he found waiting
in the ante. room, and it was most anus
ing to see the hearty little fellow dragging
his shabby proteges into the executive
presence, ordering the ushers out of the
way, and demanding immediate action
from headquarters. The President rarely
refused grace of this kind, and the de-
mands were not 50 frequent as to lose the
charm of novelty.
Although still mere child at the death
of his father this terrible shock greatly
sobered and steadied him. His brother
Robert at once took charge of his educa'
ton, and he made rapid progress up to the
time of his sailing for Europe with his
mother. He has ever since remained with
her, displaying thoughtful devotion and
tenderness beyond his years, and strangely
at variance with the mischievous thought
lessness of his childhood. He came home
short while ago, greatly improved by his
residence abroad, but always the same cor
dial, frank, rm-hearted boy.
The cause of death was dropsy on the
chest. The remains of the deceased were
taken in a special car from Chicago Sun
day evening, to Springfield, Illinois, 70
interment in Oakridge Cemetery, beside
the remains of his father. The funera
took place in Springfield yesterday morn
ing, and was attended by a large concours
of citizens. .

eye constantly. They snatch at anything
to eat; husks of barley, blood of animals,
flesh of dead horses and donkeys. Shop
keepers stand before their stalls with
clubs to keep the hungry and starving

heard on all sides from objects staggering
