A New Story of Mr.. Lincoln.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, who recently
interviewed" Chief Justice Chase, saw
fine bust of Abraham Lincoln in the
| room:
Observing me looking at it, the Chief
Justice came over and stood by me.
"You admire him." said he, looking
up at the portrait.
"More than any man in history" 1
replied.
"He has a martyrs crown, and he
had all the traits of a martyr. He was
truth and simplicity personified, and
unselfish to a fault; he was absolutely
devoid of a sense of fear. he used to
ride in and out of the camps and to the
Soldiers Home alone at all hours of the
day and night and, after he was shot
at, we insisted upon his having body
guard. do not suppose he was with
out ambition, but he never let it stand
i'm the way of an obligation or the sense
of right
"Governor Baker gave me an Illus
tration of that quality in Mr.. Lincoln
the other day." remarked.
"What was its"
"when the draft just previous to Mr..
Lincoln's reelection was ordered, lead
ing politicians of Indiana thought it
injudicious, and appointed committee,
of which Governor Baker made one, to
wait upon the President. They remon-
strated with him against the draft with
out producing any effect, and finally
urged the danger of his defeat in case
Indiana should go against him, as they
believed it would If the draft went on.
at is of no consequence, the President
replied, "whether am elected or not.
The country must be saved. We must
have soldiers. The Union must be re-
stored" Governor Baker told me that
he went out from the presence Of Mr.
Lincoln, feeling in manner rebuked
for having allowed party considera-
tions to influence him enough 10 make

A Remarkable Story.

The Hearth and Home says: There
lived in Brooklyn, not long ago, man
possessed of devil. He had inherited
the devil from his father, in the first
place, and had nursed it until it grew
so strong it took entire possession of
him.. The devil was a very familiar one
and its name was rum. The man had
many noble instincts, and; better than
all these, he had loving, faithful,
brave wife, who made skilful war upon
the demon, her husbands master. Rec
ognizing the fact that het husband was
under an empowering impulse, that he
longed and struggled manfully to tree
himself from the passion for drink, she
bent all the energies of her woman ma
ture to the task of helping him. She
loved and suffered and toiled, until at
last the loving, and suffering, and toll
ing accomplished their purpose. She
took her husband by the hand, and
shared with him his struggle, until, af-
ter years of labor, she overcame his
devil, and saw him free man. again.
Her battle with rum had been a fierce
one, taxing and wasting her strength
sorely, but she was conquerer at last.
Her husband stood upon manly feet,
and showed no signs of falling again.
Several years passed away, and this re-
formed man fell i'll of consumption.
The distinguished physician from
from whose lips we have the story pre-
scribed alcoholic stimulants as the only
means possible of prOlonging his life.
The poor wife was in terror, and beg
ged the physician to recall the prescip-
tion. She told him of her long struggle
and her victory, and said that she pre-
ferred that her husband should die
then, a sober man, than that he should
fill drunkard's grave year later.
But the free spirit of the man was
strong, and he undertook to take aleo-
holic liquors as medicine, and to con-
fine himself absolutely to such times
and measures in the matter as the ply
sician should prescribe. This he did,
and during the months thus added to
his life he never once drank single
drop more than the prescription called
for, and he died at last a sober man, as
the wife had so earnestly prayed that
he might. But the end was not vet. |
When the loving and patient woman
laid him in his grave, and saw her long
labors thus ended in the victory for
which she had toiled so hard and suffer-
ed so bitterly, she turned, in grief, to
the brandy which had been left in the
house, and drinking it, she fell herself
into the power of the devil which she
had fought so heroically. And that
woman died, not many months later,
hopeless, helpless drunkard.

How We Are United.

Little Daughter.-I wish the river
would rise.
Father.-Why, what have you to do
with the river rising?
D.-A great deal, father; for then the
boats would run.
F-And what have you to do with the
boats running, my child, Ell?
D-They would bring the cotton, IA
ther.
F-(Looking over his spectacles.) And
what have you to do, darling, with cot
ton-bales?
D-Why, if the cotton was down, you
would be able to sell it, you know, dear
father (smilingly.)
F-And what then?
D-You would have plenty of money.
F-Well.
Delaying her little hand on his
shoulder, and looking up into his face }
Then you could pay mother that twen-
ty-dollar gold-piece you borrowed from
her, you know, father.
F--And what then, my child?
D-Then mother could pay Aunt Sa-
rah the ten dollars she owes her.
FAY, indeed! and what then?
D--And Aunt Sarah would pay sister
Jane the dollar she promised to give her
on New Years, but didn't, because she
didn't have any cotton--any money, l
mean, father.
F-Well, and what else? (He lays
down the newspaper, and looks at her
cautiously, with half smile.)
D-Sister Jane would pay brother
John his fifty cents back, and he said
when he got it he would give me the
half dime he owes me, and two dimes
to buy marbles; and this is what 1 want
the river to rise for, and the big boats
to run. And 1 owe nurse the half dime
and must pay my debts.
Pa looked at ma.
" There it is" he said; eve are all,
big and little, like a row of bricks.
Touch one, and away we all go, even
down to our little Carrie here. She has,
as child, as great an interest in the
rise of the river as / have. We are all,
old and young. waiting for money to
buy Marbles
A good lesson for debtor and creditor
too, and well enforced.

From the New York Tribune. I
GUILDS SIGNAL.
BY BRI- EARTE.

= ss-s-la ss--4as--srses
Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
That was the signal the engineer
That was the signal that Child, tits said
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town, and thence,
Out in the night,
On to the light,
Down past the farms, lying white, he sped.
As husbands greeting, scant no doubt,
ct to the woman looking out
watching and waiting, no serenade
Love song or midnight roundelay
said what that whistle seemed to say:
"To my trust true
So love to you,
Working OF waiting, Good nightr' it said.
Brisk young bagmen, tourists fine,
Old commuters along the line.
Brakemen and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows Of Providence
Nothing amiss
NothingLitis is
only Guild calling his wife" they said.
Summer and Winter, the old refrain
Rang Ger the billows of ripening grain,
Pierced through the budding boughs o'erhead
Flew down the track when the red leaves
burned
Like living Goals from the engine spurned;
Sang as itfiew:
ITO our trust true
First OF all Duty-Good night" it said.
And then, one night, it was heard no more,
From Stonington over Rhode Island shore
And the folk in Providence smiled and said
Has once forgotten his midnight chcer,v
> One only knew
To his trust true
Gu1d lay under his engine, dead.

War Among the Fishes.

A war among the fishes is reported
with other wonderful fish stories from
Florida. Recently bloody hght took
place between lot of whales from fifty
to sixty feet in length, and school of
a smaller species of the same animals,
known as the black fish. The latter for
time sustained the unequal contest,
but the superior size and power of their
adversaries drove them to-refuge in the
shallow water Of the harbor where the
whales were unable to follow. Many of
the black fish, in their headlong flight,
ran on the shoals. and the reeeding tide
left them stranded.

THE BAREFOOT BoY.

So ,sE .a.tfzz
Blessings on thee. liEtle man, ~
Barefoot boy, with tdeeK OF TAM
With thy turned up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still,
Kissed by strawberrys on the hill;
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace.
From my heart / give thee joy;
Z Twas once barefoot boy.
Prince thou art-the grown-up man
Only is republican,
Let the millioned -dollared ride!
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy,
In the reach Of ear and eye;
Outward sunshine, inward joy,
Blessings on thee, barefoot boy.
o. for boy hoods painless play,
Sleep that wakes in Laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctors rules;
knowledge never learned at schools,
OF the wild bees morning chase,
OF the wild flowers time and place,
Flight Of fowl, and habitude
or the tenants Of the wood;
How the ground mole sinks his well,
How the tortoise bears his shell,
How the woodchuck digs his cell,
How the robin feeds her young,
How the orioles nest Is hung;
Where the whitest lilies blow:
Where the freshest berries grow,
Where the ground nut trails its vine,
Where the wood grapes clusters shine;
OF the black wasp's cunning way,
Mason Of his wall OF clay. ~
And the architectural plans - -
Uf gray hornet artisans!
For eschewing books and tasks,
Nature answers all he asks.
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to fsce with her he talks, 20
: Part AID parcel OF JOY.
Blessings on the barefoot boy,
o, for festal dainties spread, r-z
Like nv bowl Of milk and bread,
Pewter spoons and bowl of wool,
On the door stone, gray and rude,
Ger me like legal tent,
Cloudy ribbed, the sunset bent,
Purple eurtained, fringed with gold,
Looped in many wind-swung fold;
While, for music, came the play
OF the pied frogs orchestra:
And, TO light the noisy choir,
Lit the fy his lamp Of fire.
Twas monarch; pomp and joy
Waited on the barefoot boyi -
Cheerily, then, my little man!
Live and laugh as boyhOod can;
Though the finty slopes be hard.
Stubble- -speared the new-mown sward,
Every morn shall lead thee through
Fresh baptisms of the dew;
Every evening from thy feet
shall the cool wind kiss the heat;
All too soon these feet must hide 9 -
In the prison n-cells OF pride,
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like q colts for work be shod,
Made TO tread the mills OF toll,
Up and down in ceaseless mol; e
Happy if their track be found
Never on forbidden ground:
Happy IL they sink not in
Qu,ck and treacherous sands OF sin.
All! that thou couldst know thy joy,
Ere il passes barefoot boy!

@ PROSPECTUS or THE 70
NEW ORLEANS HERALD.
Published By the Herald Printing Company
Office, 100 Gravier Street,


Office, 100 Gravier Street. sa.@
This paper, originating in the efforts Of
gentlemen who were ostracised from Jour-
nalistic position, long held by them, on ac-
count of their vigorous assaults upon certain
officials, chiefly responsible for the present
unhappy condition Of our State, is established
ON the cooperative basis--0ne- half Of the
stock being owned by the employees.
The Herald will be published as an Evening
Paper for the summer m0nths, with regular
Sunday Morning edition.
The Herald win be strictly independent
paper. No factions, rings or associations
will control its opinions or shape is course
Its main object will be to supply . great de-
mand in this city and section, for paper
conducted in the interest Of the people, free
from preiudices and anim0sities, created by
past and dead conflicts and issues and fear
less OF the menaces Of public officials or
partisan chiefs and demagogues. Il will be
conducted by persons Of long Identification
and familiarity with the community, it's in
terests, needs, ideas and history. twill aim
to present all the news of the day, in brief
and condensed form, with editorial COM
ments, characterized by practical ideas, a
iarge charity BE- and . sPiIit Of progress, and Of
to the exposure and denunciation of the
wrongs, oppression, and corruption Of public
officials and political jobbers.
A sad experience OF the folly and ruin to
every interest, from the extremeism which
seeks to keep up q war Of races in our midst,
dividing in sympathy and cooperation for
the general good the productive, industrial
and capitalist classes, has brought us to the
conclusion that the redemption of our State
and its future welfare, require harmony,
good understanding and mutual confidence
between these classes.
The commercial, material and industrial
interests Of this city, and the agricultural
interests of the country, in all their relations,
and especially as affected and promoted by
enterprises, looking to great public improve
ments, facilitating transportation and at
tracing capital, increasing all values and
promoting INSTRUMENTATION and trade
with neighboring and foreign communities,
and inviting immigration, will be vigorously
and zeal0us1y defended and champi0ned BY
the Herald. - *+55zEs :
Accepting in good faith the changes in our
constitution, arising out Of the war, recog-
nizing emphatically the legal and political
equality of all citizens, and invoking the
union Of Ill honest people. in q ceaseless war
against all the corrupt, dishonest and in
cendiary plOtters and demag0gues, to whom
are mainly due our present calalnities, we
hope so to conduct the Herald as to secure
for it the confidence and support Of that
public to which its conductors and employees
have given SO large portion Of their lives,
