LAST MOMENTS OF LrNcoLN.-Rev.
N. w. Miner, one of Mr.. Lincoln's
neighbors, relates some new reminiscen.
ces Of the presidents last days from the
lips probably of Mrs. Lincoln. On the
day of his assassination. he went to the
theater not because he was interested 10
the play, but because he was careworn
and weary and needed quiet and repose.
lie seemed to take no notice of what was
going on in the tbeater, but was over
joyed at the thought that the war was
over, and that there would be no further
obstruction of life. The last day he liv.
ed was the happiest of his life. The very
Inst moments of his conscious life were
spent in conversation with his wife about
his future plans and what he wanted to
do when his term of office had expired.
He said he wanted to visit the Holy
Land, and see those places hallowed by
the footprints Of the Savior. He was
saying there was no city he so much de-
sired to see as Jerusalem, and with that
word half spoken on his tongue, the bull
let from the pistol of the assissin entered
his brain.
