LincOln's Humanity

Gen. Slocum, in lecture on the re-
belliOn, said that one obstacle was the
leniency of President Lincoln toward de-
serters. Finally the corps commanders
had consultation, and determined to stop
the pardon business. He added: "Short-
~ after three men Of my command were
found guilty, and in compliance with the
agreement determined those men should
be shot before our kind hearted President
could interfere. At Leesburg there was
no telegraphic connection with Washing
ton, so / ordered my men out at nine
o'clock, and when the clock struck twelve
those men were shot,"
Three or four months passed; Gettys-
burg was fought, the fall of Vicksl urg
had taken place, and was passing
through Washington, and called upon
Mr.. Lincoln As entered the room, he
said, "Gen. Slocum, the !. last time
/. think I heard from you
was in the form Of. message which
caused me more pain than almost any
incident that has occurred during the
whole war. When you were down to
Leesburg autographed to you that if the
sentence of such a man had not been ex-
ecuted, you should suspend it until fur
ther orders from me, and you telegraphed
back that the man had been executed at
twelve o'clock. The wife and sister of
that man were sitting here by my side,
and / was compelled to open your. tele-
gram and read it to Them I knew of
no instance that shows Mr.. Lincoln's
kindness Of heart or appeals to me more
strongly than that. When you remem-
Der the length of time that had elapsed,
and the number ofimportant and stirring
events that had occurred in the interval,
am sure you will agree with me in saying
that he proved himself to be generous
and big-hearted man.

The Ocean Floor.

Here is an end of all romance abou
hidden ocean depths. We can speculate
no longer about pearls, Or mermaids,
heaped treasures, and dead mems bones
whitening the coral caves. The report
of the exploring expedition sent out from
London In Ii. NJ. S. challenger has
lately been published. Nearly four years
were given to the examination of the cur
rents and floors of the four great oceans of
the world The Atlantic, we are told, if
drained. would be a vast plain, with a
mountain ridge in the middle running
parallel with the American coast. An
other range crosses it from Newfound-
land to Ireland, on thr top of which lies
a submarine cable. The ocean is thus
divided into three great basins, no longer
"untathomable depthsn The tops of
these sea-mountalns are two miles below
a ship, and the basins, according to Re
clus, fifteen miles, which is deep enough
drowning, ifnot for mystery. The noun
tains are whitened for thousand miles
by tiny creamy shell. The depths are
red IN color, heaped with volcanic mat
ter. Through the black, motionless
waters OF these abysses move gigantic
ABNORMAL creatures, which never rise to
the upper currents.
There is an old legend coming down to
us from the first ages of the world by
which these scientific deep-sea sounding
throw curious light. Plato and Scion
recorded the tradition, ancient in their
days, OF country in the western seas
where tlourished the first civilization of

submerged and lost. The same story is
told by the Central Americans, who still
celebrate in the fast of Izeall the frightful
catastrophy which destroyed the land
with its stately cities. De Bourgborg
and other Psychologists assert that this
lost land extended from Mexico beyond
the West Indies. The shape of the
plateau. discovered by the "Challenger"
corresponds with this theory.-Noah's

His story is now recelled, as it is one of

ency that has hung over me TODAY. I

dreams; but, for. the life of me I cannot
