A Lincoln story.
Waterburn Americnn.

We heard recently q ''little stOry''
about President Lincoln, which, like most
stories about Mr.. Lincoln, is characteris-
tic and, unlike many of them, seems to be
new. 1t was during the busy war times.
when the President was overburdened
with cares, anNieties and visitors with
suggestions good and bad for the prose-
cution of the contest, that a gentleman
called upon him with the plans of a new
gun of the most destructive character.
Mr.. Lincoln received him with the blunt
courtesy peculiar to him in those times.
which was simply, but not offensiveIv, a
wearied hut kind toleration, and lis
tened attentively to the description
of the gun, examined the designs.
and asked a few questions as to its ex-
pected efficiency in destroying human
life. There was very little doubt in his
mind ON that score when the explanation
was finished. The gentleman wished to
know whether the President approved Of
his plans and would advise him to go
ahead, take out patents and complete it.
MIR. Lincoln was very thoughtful for
minute, and then said II wouldn't do it:
/ wouldn't do it. We kill 'em off too fast
now." The plans were dropped for the
time, but were discovered independently
and subsequently developed by other
parties into the Gatling gun. The gentle
man who called upon President Lincoln
has daughter in this city whose husband
is connected with one of our largest man
ufacturing establishments.

LONDON, July 23.-The Times, in re-

were shooting in weather stranger to
them than to the English. They made a
closer fight than at Creedmoor. 1t would

Consulate in this city as published, show

worthy of comment than if the attempts
had been made on the house of a private
citizen. The robbers probably knew of
the Consul, and hence the attempt. Mr..
