The Cracked Lincoln Medal.

Cleveland Leader.
There is bronze medal in the United
States Treasury department with which
there is a tleincident connected that
may carry conviction to the souls of be.
levers in omens, and that is, in any event,
of interest in connection with the ap.
preaching fourteenth anniversary Of the
18th of April, IS The medal bears an
excellent head and bust in profile OF Pres
dent Lincoln, executed by medalist
named Paquet, now in the employ of the
Treasury Department. Early IN April,
1865, Mr.. Paquet was in Philadelphia
with his work, watching the completion
of his medal with great solicitude, and
was greatly discouraged one morning to
find an ugly crack in the die, beginning
back of the ear and extending across the
temple, seriously marring the face that
had cost him so much labor. A crack
in the steel die from which the impress
is taken is no uncommon thing in medal
making, bat the significance of this
crack was developed later. Mr.. Paquet
telegaphed his i'll. luck to the authorities
at Washington, and they. satisfied with
the excellence of the likeness which he
had obtained, determined to overlook the
blemish, and directed him to proceed
with the medal. A few hours later a
tragedy that threw nation into mourn
ing occurred. Wilkes Booth stole into
the Presidents box at the theatre, and
the assassin's bullet took almost exactly
the same course of the crack across the
head of the medal, entering back of one
ear and coming out over the temple.
This medal, which might have been
priced only because of the faithful por
traiture of President Lincoln's face, and
the fact that it was one Of the last repre-
sensations of aim, has an added value be-
cause OF the defect, which may be re-
garded as prophecy, OF at least strange
coincidence. The parties for whom it
was executed we're so impressed, and
whenever it is shown the history ana sp-
propriateness of the peculiar blemish is
invariably given:

lowed. The prisoner was an abandoned
woman of great power of will and equal
ingenuity. She was determined to re-
tain her hold upon her victim, who had
made several efforts to get rid of one of
whom he had become weary. This led
him to threaten to let the house, of
which he was the owner, and thus force
her to leave. Her plan in order to antici-
pate action was 10 obtain wedding Ger
tifcate, and remove the man by foul
means
The first was easily accomplished. She
appeared one evening at the house of
clergyman, accompanied by an accom-
plice, who gave his name as Harvey Bur-
dell, and they we're married. The next
step, however, was not so readily accom-
plished. Burdell lodged in the house,
but took his meals elsewhere, and was
too suspicious to be approached with
poison. Hence the desperate woman de-
termined 10 use cold steel, since a pistol
| shot would awaken alarm. Burdell gen
orally spent his evenings IN disreputable
resorts, returning home at midnight. The
murderous woman entered his room with
| false key, awaited his return, and as he

throat and followed it with other stabs,
numbering full score. Such at least
was the theory of the prosecution. After
| the deed had been done her bloody
clothing and also the weapon were made
into bundle and threwn into the sewer
by her accomplice. The latter was a
young man of hardly sufficient nerve to
commit the crime, but cunning enough
to render i'm portant assistance. Some
years after he was convicted Of fraud and
died in State prison. Mrs. Cunningham's
claim to a widows share in the estate was
denied by the surrogate, after which she
went to California, and her subsequent
history is unknown. The mystery con-
nected with this dreadful affair has given
it a marked prominence in the Annals of
crime as 'the Bond street tragedy" It
may be added that the coroner who Off
eiated on that occasion was E. D. Con-
merry, formerly Bohemian reporter in
the service of the Herald. He soon &C.
quired sufficient political influence to OBJ
tain the Office of coroner, which was the
extreme height of his elevation. he has
been dead several years, but his son, who
early became connected with the press,
is now Thomas W. Connery, the manag-
ing editor of the Herdld-a position
which he has held during the last ten
years.

swept over the Irish at the coming of
Father Mathew, Mr. Cough believe to
have produced far less of beneficent in
fuence than was expected of it, at least
among the Irish in America. Nor does
he think that any permanent effect can
be made upon a large body of people
who kneel together and make q vow by
wholesale. Mr.. Cough has himself Sc
cured over 100000 signatures to the
pledge; and this part of his work became
at last SO engrossing that he has been
obliged to relegate it to the various COM
mittees. ..rf., z

woe and misery with which drink en-
shrouds its victims, that even the most
cheerful philosopher must have moments
of despair. Yet with so warm an enthu-
siast as John B. Cough these moments
are few, "What though he joyously ex-
claims, ''there be thousand million
pounds invested in the drink business in
England! Once touch the right cord and
the English nation will spring up and
sacrifice that amount ofmoney, and many
times more If need be, for the sake of
Christian honor and the dignity of the
Anglo Saxon race. Never tell me that
drink is domestic institution, and that
beer is king. So was slavery a domestic
institution in America; so was cotton
king. Yet, by Gods help, the people
were at last aroused to burning fury of
shame at the disgrace which dwelt with
them and thirty million people arose like
one man and eradicated the curse.''
The ancient writer's say that the foun-
dation of rhetoric was high and noble

Chatham speak aver that there was some
thing in the man that was finer than any
thing which he said. Posterity which
reads of the impressiveness of Coughs
eloquence will wonder at it. The printed
lines convey no idea of the fire of his
earnestness, the humor of his character

SAM FIFIELD'S ESCAPE.

Tuesday afternoon, May 13, special
train was going north on the Wisconsin
Contral r~ilrootI s.t De.a Is;~e-, e>be,.t 200
miles from Milwaukee. The train, COM
posed of the pay and business cars Of the
company, had on board General Manager
Finney, Superintendent Campbell,
Freight Agent Malone, Paymaster Nc
Guire and his clerk, Railroad Commits
sioner A. J. Turner, Hon. Sam S. Fifeld
and wife, and the wife of Hon. S. S.
Vaughn, of Ashland, besides several Sec
ton men who were on the tender or plat
forms. Heavy rains had prevailed in
that section several days, almost dnpre-
cedented, which had the effect to convert
the Bad River, a very wild and rapid
stream at all times, into a small Niagara,
the water rising several feet above its
usual level. While making q sharp turn
in immediate proximity to the river, the
engineer, Mr.. Barnes, discovered that a
large washout had been made in the road
bed, a few feet ahead Of the train, the
track remaining in perfect position, how
ever. The automatic air brakes were in
stantIy applied, stopping the train almost
instantly, and throwing the inmates of
the cars into promiscuolts heap; but
the engine had passed on to the tract;
spanning the wash out, which, of course,
gave way, precipitating the engine down
the embankment some fifteen feet or
more. The fireman, Mr. Hughes, Jump
ed through the cab window, feet fore-
most, and alighted all right; the engineer
Mr.. Barnes, remained at his post, and OF
| course was involved in the general wreck,
the cab being smashed to spiinters. The
| cars were vacated in the shortest posi-
bic space of time, and when the condi-
ton of the engine was discovered, it was
not supposed possible that the engineer
could have escaped alive; but he immedi
atelv crawled out of the wreck, and sa
luted the kissing engine, over his shoul
der, as he clambered up the bank, with @
"What dye soy!" aud was soon out OF
reach Of danger Miraculous to state, he
suffered no apparent injury beyond a few
| slight bruises. After several hours, the
cars were rescued from their perilous
condition, by the aid Of the engine of the
regular Enthusiastically Telegraph.

AN ANCIENT ROVER.

Titusville Herald. There is poor
man in Titusville that has been out at
the Black Hills three times and back.
After staying awhile at home he gets un-
easy and saliies out again for the last
new town talked of. Last February,
with $G5, he set out for Leadyille, his
funds gave out when he got as far as
Trinidad and he footed it the rest of the
journey, 800 miles, In Leadviile he got
a place as cook for $50 q month and
board, but could not stand the heat of
the weather, threw up his place in a
week, and at last adyices, with 81 in his
pocket and 800 miles beyond Chicago, he
was turning his face homeward again to
this city. He has good habits but an
incurable rowing disposition, while his
boys are just the opposite. Four of
them are grown men and none of them
have scarcely set their foot out of town,
but once since they came to this city to
live in 1865. When the old gentleman
leaves he always says: "This is the last
time. I'm never coming back; I am
going to make something and send for
you ALL" But it is always the same old
story. In due time comes a letter.
bad luck Can't stand it, dead broke.
Boys, send me some money or I will
starve." A FIRMLY council is held. The
boys have little laid up against rainy
day, little deposit in the bank. They
pool together. They go to the bank and
then to the postoffiee and start money
order and bring the wanderer home. He
gets home at last. The family all have
q good laugh and cry when he gets back.
They ask him if he is cured; he says:

Some morning he VIII disappear again.
He must have gypsy blood in his

THE LONGEST STREAM IN THE
WORLD NOT NAVIGABLE.

The Dakota river, vulgarly known IS
"Jim" river, is stream worthy of more
than passing notice. Geographical writ
ers have heretofore paid little attention
to this great water-couse with its COM
monplace nickname mostly, we presume,
because they have never had their atten-
ton directed to the fact that it is the
longest river in the world not capable Of
being nayigated in any of its parts.
| Having directed attention to this striking
feature of physical make up, an explana-
ton of how IT acquired its homely pseu-
donym may prove of interest. The early
French traders and missionaries who
came this way gave it its original appella
ton, and among them it was known as
River aux jacques. This was afterwards
angelicized to plain James river, and
speedily vulgarized into the more repug-
nant title OF jim river. Congress, in
1861, took the subject in hand, having,
perhaps, vague idea of the part which
this extensive stream is to taYe in the
future of the new West, and decreed that
''it shall be called the Dakota river. :"
But Congressional enactments are not
always strictly obeyed, and this case
there seems to be no disposition to ac
cord to the Dakota river its legal cogno-
men. It is known as the jim, spoken of
as the jim, and printed as the jim often
er than any other way. But there is
not much if anything in a name. The
river is there and it will doubtless flow
on forever whether it be known as the
Dakota, James or plain Jim. We have
stated that it is the longest river III the
world which cannot be navigated in any
portion by steam vessels. This we be-
lieye to be a fact. 1t rises near latitude
As and traverses 525 miles of country.
1t is an exceedingly crooked stream,
constantly doubling on itself and crossing
and winding along its prairie bed.
Though we have no official measurement
of its crooks and curves its actual length
cannot be less than l, 600 miles. Through
out large portion of its length it MAIN
tains nearly uniform depth and breadth
and moves with sluggish current. These
are few of the characteristics of the
Dakota river, which waters valley of
incompatible native richness. Settlers
are now focking to its banks, and in a
year or two every quarter section of val
ley will be occupied and worked.

A POEM BY DANIEL WEBSTER.

mr.. Webster at more than one period Of his
life dallicl with the muses.. In 1925 he had the
misfortune to lose q son, three years of age
named Charles, represented to have possessed 8
singular attractiYeness Of mind ana character
even at that early age. On that occasion Mr.
Webster iHclosed the following effusion IN a
letter to his wifc:l
My son, thou vast my hearts delight,
Thy morn Of life was gay and CHEEKY;
That morn has rushed TO sudden night,
Thy fathers house is sad aud dreary.
held thee on my knee, my son.
and kiSs'd thee laughing hiss'd thee
weeping;
But ah! thy little day is gone,
Thou'rt with my angel sister sleeping.
The stat on which my years should lean
Is broken, ere those years come DER me;
My funeral rites thou shouldst have seen,
But thou art III the tomb before me.
Thou rear'st to me no hilial stone,
No parents grave with tears behoidest;
Thou art my ancestor, my son
And stand'st in Heavens account the old
est.
On earth my lot was soonest cast,
Thy generation after mine,
Thou hast thy predecessor past,
Earlier eternity is thine.
/ should have set before thine eyes
The road to Heaven, and showed it clear;
But thou untaught spring'st to the skies,
And leav'st thy teacher lingering here.
Sweet Seraph, would learn OF thee,
And hasten to partake thy bliss,
And o. to thy world welcome me,
As first l welcomed thee to this.
Dear Angel. thou art safe in Heaven;
No prayers for thee need more be made;
@. let thy prayers for those be given
Who oft have blest thy infant head.
Ny father! I beheld thee born.
And led thy tottcring steps with care;
Before me risen TO Heavens bright morn,
My son my father ! guide me there.
