LINCoLN.-On the day OF his death,
this simple Western attorney, who. &C.
cording to one party, was vulgar jok-
er, and whom the doctrinaries among
his own supporters accused Of wanting
every element Of statesmanship, was
the most absolute ruler in Christendom
and this solely the hold his good hum.
ored sagacity had laid on the hearts and
understandings of his countrymsn.
Nor was this all for it appeared that
he had drawn the great majority, not
only of his fellow citizens, but Of man
kind also, to his side. So strong aud 80
persuasive is honest manliness, without
single quality Of romance or unreal
sentiment to help it? A civilian dur
ing times Of the most captivating mill
tary achievement, awkward, with no
skill in the lower technicalities of man.
ners, he left behind him fame beyon d
that Of any conqueror, the memory OF
grace higher than that OF outward
person, and a gentlemanliness deeper
than mere breeding. Never before that
startled April morning did such mul-
titudes of men shed tears for the death
of one they had never seen, as il with
him a friendly presence had been taken
away from their lives, leaving them
colder and darker. Never was funeral
panegyric so eloquent as the silent look
of sympathy which strangers exchang-
ed when they met on that day. Their
common manhood had lost kinsmsn.-

Hang on like q Beaver.

When our Tom was six years old he
went out into the forest one afternoon
to meet the hired man, who was COM

man placed Master Tommy on the top
Of the load aud drove -homeward. Just
before reaching the farm the team went
pretty brskly down steep hill. When
Tommy entered the house his mother
said:
"Tommy, my dear, were you not
frightened when the horses were trot-
ting SO swiftly down Grow Hill?"
"Yes, mother, little" replied Tom,
honestly "but I asked the Lord to
help me, and hang on like q beaver"
Sensible Tom! Why sensible? Be-

mem0rate the one hundredth anniversary

yesterday Mir. Thomas submitted In the
Legislature o series of resolutions second
ing the project, and Inviting the Western
children OF Virginia to unite with her In
the proposed exposition j. The resolutions
were referred to the Committee on Propo.
slttons, and last evening that committee held
. meeting to consider them. The commit
tee was met BY Colonel Thos. e. Peyton,
!! of Philadefphta, who explained that the
city from which he hailed had been selected
and been chosen by Gangressas the proper
| place for holding the exposition, as the
Congress which promulgated the Declara-
tion had been held there. He further stated.
that In view of the fact that Virginia's sons
had occupied so prominent part In this
Congress, it was the desire Of the commit
tees having fhis thing in charge that she
should have an important part In the ex-
hibition.I He therefore suggested that the
LEGISLATURE would iappointa committee to
visit Philadelphia to confer with the COM
mittees from the Councils Of that city, and
from the Legislature Of the State of Penn
sylvanfal ,They'woufd be well received and
Hospitality treated, and would have an op-
portunity of mlngGng with the prominent
maDufacturers and merchants of this city,
| and the results would surely prove bene-
fetal. The committee, having matureiy
considered the resolutions and the facts SET
forth, concluded to report the resolutions
providing for the appointment Of joint
committee, consisting Of FIVE from the
House and three from the Senate, to visit
the Quaker city to confer with the commit.
! tees there in relation to the exposition.
THE resolutions will be reported to-day,
