THE F1TZ JOHN PORTER CASE was resumed
yesterday at West Point. The petitioner
called to the witness stand Alexander ID.
Payne, Of Warrenton, Va, lawyer. In Au-
gust, 1862, he was lst lieutenan ut Of cavalry in
Gen. Stuart's confederate cavalry. He tes,i.
fed that on the 29th of August he was at the
headqnarters of Gen. Lee. He was thoroughly
cOnversant with the country thereabouts, hav.
ing been born there. The gist of his evidence
was to the effect that there was no general en-.
gagement on the 29th, as stated by Gen. Pope
gagement on the 3Oth, the seyerest of the war.
the slaughter being terrible the ground being
blue with dead and wounded. This was
brought out to show P0rter's bravery as gen.
eral and his loyalty to the cause. The next
witness was Captain James Mitchell, of New
York. In 1852 he was captain In the Vir, ,inia
volunteers in Eemper's brigade. His was
simply cOrroborative evidence as to no ighting
of any consequence on the 10Th, Col Walter

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE tribune says
gold declined yesterdaf to loo 3-l6 and two d. vs.
interest, the lowest prlce since the beginning
OF the war. There has been no speculation in
little of its former activity. Two or three
operators have transacted the little business
that has been done. The only demand for
gold has been on account of purchases of
bonds and for duties. The demand through
duties is removed by exchange of silver dollars

Lincoln as a Matchmaker.

1t was about year before the fall OF
Richmond, when both North and South
seemed tottering to ruin, that young
lady who had known Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
coin for years, visited Washington. She
was an exceptionally sensible, warm
hearted, refined woman, gifted with q
marvellous voice and a graceful figure,
but she was very homely. She called
at the White House, and when she had
gone with his wife into a private room,
MIR. Lincoln expressed his surprise to a
friend that "some good man had not
been lucky enough to marry her. ~
Adding:
Il herself would be much happier
if she were a wife and a mother"
A few moments later Major c., a
volunteer officer, thoroughly respected
by the President, and a bachelor, came
into the study. Mr.. Lincoln looked at
him thoughtfully.
"What are you going to do when the
war is over, C--?" he asked suddenly.
"Seek my fortune, l suppose" was
the startled reply.
"There it is in that ROOM" A frank,

mo, you can't go to seek it now; bust
ness first. But there it is"
That evening there was a reception
at the White House. The President
beckoned to Major c..
"Listeni" said he.
A lady, whom they could not see be-
cause of the crowd, was singing, in a
voice of great beauty and sweetness,
some gay song. The Major would have
moved forward, but Mr. Lincoln detain-
ed him, his eyes twinkling with shrewd
fun.
swat bit,n he said. ''Don't look
at her face yet"
Presently she sang ballad with such
pathns that the Majors eyes grew dim
snow go. She's as good and true as
her song. "
The good word of Mr.. Lincoln proba-
bly, influenced both parties In few
months they were married, and the
union proved most happy one.
81 did one wise thing in 1884, Mr..
Lincoln said, rubbing his chin, as was
his wont when pleased: "I made that
match. - Youths Companion.

It follows that we each of US carry
about very nearly as many distinct
selves as there are people who know US,
or think they know us. To one we
represent one conception, to another
onite different one. You are one per-
son to the bearer of contribution box
on Sunday, upon whom you smile be-
nignantly as you drop in your coin, and
another person altogether to the tenant
whom you eject on Monday. To the
beautiful young lady, to whom you de
liz htedly resign your seat in a crowded
car, you represent one thing-if. indeed,
she gives you a thought at all; and to
the overladen working woman, upon
whom and whose bundles you look COM
placently and unmoved, you represent
another. To the man on your doorstep
who is suing for aid, you stand for I'M
bounded prosperity; but your creditor,
who is just getting out an attachment
on your property, knows better. So
crates expounding lofty philosophy in
the midst of admiring disciples. and So
crates attempting to explain to Zantippe
why his night-key wouldn't turn the
lock, were two very different individ-
nails Boston Journal.
