Its outward graces are fit adornments for

that part of the work which is touched
by her spirit, which is wonderful and

meager, IN comparison with that which
one would hope for, from such career
and such man, but the few touches OF

such infinite grace that they seem to
weave an evergreen garland about the
tributes to the life and character of Mr.

DEATH oE NOTED DETEcTIvE.-The
Nations Police Gazette gives the follow
ing incident of the career Of Eli Devoe,
who died in New York last month:
Mr.. Devoe joined the force under the
old organization, and was one of Super
intendent Matsell's shadows many years
ago. At the commencement of the re-
bellion he resigned and entered the de-
tective service of the Government. When
Lincoln started to Washington before
his first Inauguration, Devoe and Tom
Lampson were sent to Baltimore to in
yestigate the rumor that the President
would be assassinated in that city. The
work was difficult and dangerous, and
had to be prosecuted with the utmost
secrecy. They managed to mix with the
active Secessionists, and finally joined
secret society whose intent was to kill
Lincoln under the cover of concerted
mob. 1t had been arranged that the
President should be escorted through the
streets, and the murder was to have been
done while number of the So
ciety attacked and disordered the
procession. Devoe and Lampson
got the details of the plot as members of
the society, and it was upon their infor.
nation that the expedient of hurrying
Lincoln through on another train was
adopted. When the plot had failed, the
society looked out for traitors in their
midst, and they soon learned that De.
voc aud Lampson were not residents OF
Baltimore. This was enough to arouse
their suspicious. and the detectives found
it necessary to quit so suddenly that
their baggage was left behind. They
went to Washington and were followed
by gang of Baltimore roughs. who in
vested their hotel, and probably intended
vengance of some kind. But here again
detective work thwarted any plan that
may have been concocted. Another de-
tective who had gone on to Washington
as one Of the Baltimore gang, found o
chance to put Devoe and Lampson on
their guard.
