the opinion that it will be entirely prac-
ticsbie for Congress to adjourn between
the LIST and 18th of May, although other
prominent democrats of long service, in

be quite satisfied if an adjournment can

A LOVE LETTER'S RETURN.
Lost at the Battle Of Gettysburg
and Recovered this Week.

Pittsburgh Post.l
A young man named William s..
Provost, of New Brunswick, N. j.,
enlisted early in the rebellion in the
First regiment of New Jersey infan-
try. He was shortly afterwards pro-
NOTED by Governor 0lden to a lieuten-
antcY in the Eleventh New Jersey
regiment. He received a gunshot
wound in the shoulder at Gettysburg.
In crossing a small creek near the
spot where he was wounded he took
Oft his blouse to enable a comrade to
staunch the flow of blood. He threw
the blouse to a passing soldier. The
soldier was lost in the crowd, and
Provost never again saw the blouse.
When his regiment was mustered out
of service Provost returned to his home
in New Brunswick, N. j. On Monday
last he received a letter from a gentle
man named Cashier, in Philadelphia.
The letter said that Mr.. Cashier had
in a large envelope in his possession a
pair of ~lieutenant's shoulder straps,
an officers commission in the Eleventh
New Jersey regiment, signed by
Governor Olden, a letter from a lady
addressed to Lieutenant Provost, and
a photograph of a lady. Mr.. Castner
wished to know whether Lieutenant
Provost was alive. Mr.. Provost, who
is we'll known in the neighborhood of
Pennington, N. j., where he now re-.
sides, Immediately visited this city
and obtained the articles described.
MIR. Cashier said bal his mother had
died lately, and while examining her
private papers he found the envelope
containing the shoulder straps, the
letter, etc. The letter in the envelope
had Mr.. Provosts old New Brunswick
address upon it. 1t was from his lady
love, who has since become bis wife.
He carried it into the battle in the
breast pocket of the blouse that he
threw to the soldier.

Wade laughed until he was weak,
aud when he could get his breath suf-
%feiently to speak he looked at the
clock as was his custom and said:
Now for a little business and then
l will CO."
Don't go" cried Uncle Abe, and
laying his head in his hands on the
desk in front of him he laughed until
he shook all over. Presently raising
up his face from between his
hands he wiped his eyes and
blew his nose until the report sounded
like the winding of a horn. After
another 6t of laughing he said:
Wade, you should have e re- him,
and how scared he was. I'll bet that
fellow never comes back here while |
am president"
As might have been expected, hardly
had MIR. Wade quilted the White
house when he heard the president
had the small .pox. and was very sick.
Wade promptly contradicted the story,
but that night it was t~elegraphed all
over the country, and many people
will yet remember the story Of Mr.,
Lincoln's having the varioloid during
the war.
Commenting on the report, Uncle
Abe said to Wade. Some people said
they could not take my proclamation
very well, but when l get the small
pox, Wade, | shall then be happy to say

One day not long after Mr.. Lincoln
issued his emancipation proclamation
MIR. Wade came in, laughing all over
mis- face, and said:
well, old Abe has just done the
damnedest thing you ever heard of.
He has given out that he has the
smallpox, to keep the politicians and
office-seekers away from the White
house."
The story ran thus: Mr.. Wade
went to the White house to see Lin
coin, who had been ill. He found the
president a little pale, but jolly as he
could be.
"Sit down, Wade, | am glad to see
you. Oh, | have the funniest thing
to tell you; it will make you laugh.
| never did such a thing before in my
life, and never will again" Then the
president laughed until the tears ran
down his cheeks.
"Now, Wade" he said, you are
not to repeat this outside, for it would
give %offense, and it by no manner of
means COMFORTS with the dignity
which is supposed to hedge a presi-
dent about. The doctor put me up
to it to rid myself of a bore l ought
not to have done it, but l could not
help it, it was so funny. You know |

though he succeeded in that case, |
suppose he saw that the feeling against
doing anything Of the kind was 50
strong that he stopped there. OF
course | think that some Of the south
ern officers would be for Grant,
Longstreet. for instance. But then.
Longstreet is not so very favorable to
Grant. His support Of Grant in the
campaign OF 1872 was only half
hearted, and | don't believe Grant
will forgive him for it. 1t was only
when he saw that Greeley was going
to be defeated that he came out
for Grant. After Greeley had
been nominated at Cincinnati and Bal
timore and when everything looked az
it it was going for him, Longstrees
was a Greeley man but after the
October elections, when things began
falling to pieces, Longstreet then came
out for Grant. know General Grant
thinks of it aud has not forgiven him,
because his son Fred. said so to some
army officers, friends Of mine, some
time ago. | think, continued the
general, that Grant is a formidable
candidate for the nomination. If
Grant is nominated the number of
republicans who will not vote for him
will be very small. Many say now
they will not vote for him. but wait
until the party lines are frightened and
the party whip is cracked and you
will see them all falling into line. |
think, however, any good democratic
leader put up against him can be
elected.
