The anniversary of the death of Lincoln
and the emancipation of the slaves in this
district come within few days of each
other. Saturday was the anniversary Of
Lincoln's death. Monday is emancipa-
ton day. The anniversary of Lincoln's
death has made public the fact, not gener-
ally known, that the family who owned the
house in which he died have retained in
their possession some ghastly memorials
Of the martyred president. These relics
are the pillow cases upon which Presi-
dent Lincoln died and the counterpane of
the bed. The pillow cases are yellow with
age, but still plainly show the blood stains
whexe President Lincoln's head first rested
upon them.
NOTED GAMBLER DEAD.
The death of Selucius Garfield, which oo-
Cured Friday night, deserves more than
passing mention. Garfield was delegate
in congress from Washington territory
and native of Vermont. To the end of
the Forty-frst congress his career ha d
been constantly upwards, but during his
congressional life he developed mania
for gambling, and remained mere, at first
ostensibly as a claim agent. Later he
openly kept gambling house. For years
his house attracted some noted gamblers,
and was frequented by the few congress
men who ventured to play in such places,
but for several years his house had lost
caste. He had been arrested several times
and finally died alone and unbefriended,
save by woman of the lower sort, whom
he not long since married.
