ring rather TO attend a ball at Sarato-

theme, contrasting the diving aponies
OF Rawlins with the insrati,ude of

in this story is the fact that the Pres-
ident was in Saratoga during Raw
Inns last illness. While there he re-
ceived dispatch from Gen. Sher-
man, merely saying "Rawlins il
worse" At this mement a special
train was in waiting, which was to
convey the General to Utica, where
he expected to meet a large con-
