Lincoln's Remains Petrified.

The Springfield correspondent of the ST..
LOUIS Republican recently wrote as follows to
that paper:
"The attempt to steal the remains of Mr.
Lincoln about three years since is remembered
by almost every one. Since then the public,
IN fact, every one save half dozen persons or
so intimately connected with the Lincoln Mon
ument Association, supposed Mr.. Llncoln's re-
mains were inclosed in the marble sarcopha-
gus which stands III the vestibule leading to
the crypts, where other members of the family
are entOmbed. This is not so, as your cores
pondent learned today for the first time All
that remains of Mr.. Lincoln has been buried
IN the ground, under some portion of the I'M
mense granite pile forming his monument,
ever since the attempted robbery, and Is now
in complete state of petrlficatlon. This
startling statement is from one who knows,
and will be news to all but very few persons,
as it was understood at the time that the en-
balmer's work at Washington, Immediately
after the death of Mr.. Lincoln, was not sue
cess, but bunge. Soon after the remains were
entombed in this city, in 1866, 1t was said
they were IN bad state of decomposition, and
that the embalming was not working This
seems to have been an error, as there is no
doubt that the statement that his remains have
turned to stone is true"

The Wells Comet.

Henry NJ. Parkhurst, astronomer, of Brook
visible IN the northern heavens, in the New
York Herald of the Goth ult, as follows:
Wells comet as an object OF popular adml-
ration Is not likely to be a success 1t is al;
ready nearer the sun than Donatls comet ever
was, and has not yet developed tail easily
visible te the naked eye. But it is rapidly
increasing IN brightness, and on June 4, if 1t
shall be clear 1t will be In the best position
to be seen before the perihellon passage, 1t
will then be about seven degrees below Capel-
la, the bright star IN the northwest with Its
tail extending directly towards the North Star.
In consequence of the straightness OF the
comets path the matter forming the tail
follows so nearly in the track of the head of
the comet that 1t will not be much ditfused,
so that computations indicate that the extreme
length OF the tail at that time will not be more
than twelve degrees-the distance between the
last three stars in the handle of the Dipper.
Although its length will rapidly increase after
that it will be so far in the twilight as not to
be conspicuous.
During the four days from June to June
II the comet will pass more than half way
around the sun, being less than ten millions
of miles from it during that time and intensely
ilumlnated but its position in the heavens
will be less than ten degrees of the sun, so
that it will be almost certainly invisible. AS
It recedes from the sun there may be for a few
days considerable display of the tail in the
southern hemisphere, but from that time the
comet will be recedng from the earth so rap
idly that there is no probability of any more
display here than on the evening of June A..
1t will appear in the western sky shortly after
June 10 below the planets Venus and Mercury,
but the tail will then either be quite short or
else very much curved downward. 1t is pos.
sible, however, that at that time there may be
a secondary tail, very long and straight, but
very faint pointing directly from the sun.
ia, i..I - -.r los u u.niu'ut Nhu mlgW
have been. II the comet had only been three
months earlier in passing its perlhelion II
would have reached its ascending node In
April instead of July, and at that time 1t
would have come, fresh from the blazing sun,
so close to us that the tail would have either
enveloped us in Its most luminous portion, or
have passed so near us as to have been the
most magnificent and grand comet in the
worlds history.
Should there be another great comet follow
ing in the same orbit, as we have had lately
repeated instances of great comets following
similar orbits, put separated by few years, 1t
is TO be hoped that the next one may arrive at
its perihelion IN March instead OF dallylng by
the way until we shall have as at the present
instance, reached distance too great for favor

At Montreal, on the 9th, Charles Bailey, a
veteran of the British army, but we'll known
in Montreal as u gardener, was poisoned by
his wife. The two, both OF whom were over
so years of age, had lived together unpleantly
for years. On Friday night of last week Bal.
ley ate a hearty supper and went TO bed with
out complaining, He was shortly after at
tackled by violent spasms, and before doctor
could be summoned he died in great agony.
During the time he was suffering his wife
gave herself no concern, but looked on with
stolcal indifference. On being told that her
husband was dead she, with apparent uncon-
Germ, replied: "Oh, is he dead at last? Well,
now III have some peace. He has been the
plague OF my life" Dr. Finnle, an eminent
physician, examined the food the man had
eaten and found in 1t abundant strychnlne to
account for his death. The woman seemed to
be crazy.

Miss Geyer, but was lately rejected by her on
account of bad habits. When Philip discov-
cred Miss Geyer he went to her and forced her
to leave her companions. Taking her short
distance away from them, after few minutes
talk he drew a revolver and began threatening
her. The young men attempted to interfere,
but before they could prevent him he fired one
shot, striking the girl in the breast and kill,
ing her almost instantly. The murderer came
to the city and surrendered himself to the po-
lice, and was locked up. There is considera-
BILE excitement and threats of lynchIng are
made. The murderer is about 10 years old
and his victim two years his senior.

young and pretty widow, and Dave Sykes have

from ear TO ear The woman fell to the floor
aud Sykes then placed the child on Its moth

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

The Republican National Congressional
Campaign Committee have unconsciously pu,
out the strongest plea in favor of civil service
reform that has appeared within II year by the
issue of the following circular To the 10000
employees of the government from the cabinet
down to the lowest whisky gauger The sum
lett blank is two per cent. on the salary OF
each Official, and as the salaries OF all amount
to over $12, 900, the assessment amounts to
S25O,OOO to be used IN influencing the election
next fall IN every disputable congressional
district, and as there are not over fifty such,
here is a fund of $4,000 to be expended in each
district. Can there ever be an honest election
in the country while the government IS allow
ed unblushingly to back its electioneering
agents in the levy of such corrupt fund?
The circular Is as follows:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE,
WASHINGTON, May -.
This committee is organized for the protec-
ton of the interests of the Republican party
in each OF the congressional districts of the
Union. In order that it may prepare, print and
circulate suitable documents illustrating the
issues which distinguish the Republican party
from any other, and may meet all proper ex-
penses incident to the campaign, the committee
feels authorized to apply to all citizens whose
principles or interests are involved IN the
struggle. Under the circumstances in which
the country finds itself placed, the committee
believes that you will esteem it both a prlvI-
lese and pleasure to make to its fund con-
tribution which, it is hoped, may not be less
than - dollars. The committee is author
lied to state that such voluntary contributions
from persons employed in the service of the
United States will not be objected to in any
official quarter. The labors of the committee
will affect the result of the presidential cleo
ton in 1884 as well as the congressional strug
gle, and 1t may, therefore, reasonably hope to
have the sympathy and assistance Of all who
look with dread upon the possibility of res
toration of the democratic party to the control
Of the government. Please make prompt and
favorable responses to this letter by bank check
Or draft or postal money order payable to the

SUNNI AIRY Vengeance,

Last Saturday, while Miss Mamie Carr was

she was assaulted by a negro boy named jim
Sanders. Her shrleks attracted the attention
OF man who CHANGED to be passing along the
roadside, and Sanders fled, the man shooting
at HIM, but without effect, rs he disappeared,
Sanders was arrested next day, taken to the
scene of his attempted crime, and placed IN a
frame building, preparatory TO the prelimln.
airy examination. At a late hour that night a
mob broke into the house and shot the prs
oner to death, literally Kidding him with bull
lets. The matter has created intense feeling
in the neighborhood, and when the inquest,
was held next day threats were made of furth-
er trouble. A great many colored people live
in the vicinity, nearly all Of whom are very
bitter regarding the shooting of Sanders. The
