commencing February 20 next, In which he informs
INC that from letters and assurances received BIZ
bred dogs lie feels assured that the projected show
Will lie on grand scale. Your correspondent, in q
recent Issue OF THE HERALD, struck the proper kew
note when he made the timely and Appropriate sur-
EeStion to the merchants Of our city Mr.. Lincoln,
when he arrives IN the city and has things system
atzed, will call upon our merchants Ia behalf of the
SHOW and VIII solicit from them such donations as
they may see Mt to bestow In aid OF the enterprise
Hentlemen, you who have large and prosperous
business houses, do toward WashngtOn's initial

New York and elsewhere. These exhibitions have

which are a motive Of childish inadequacy and an
almost oontenptuous disregard Tor the commonest
laws Of probability. The hero Is a brave young
oncer, who wiltully lncurs the OblOquy Of basaTdy
ihcfeby asserting To the defamation Of his lnnO-
cent mother, consent To the ruin Of his own pros
poets, aud breaks his trOih tO the girl whom hs

Miss Gnrrison's Abduction.

ST. Louis, Jan. 13.-Numerous stories
have gained circulation to-day and to- night regard
to her mother last night, which place the young lady
IN very unpleasant position. These TO the gem

occasion went alone and returned to the houses
mat she was not In duress, and could have
gone nome at any time had she WANTED
To do so. These stories most strenuousIy

Wash-street house by force until her disappearance

reporter who visited her this afternoon states
that her physical condition Indicates great nervous
