.s.Tust after Jeff. Davis had beer

.'Just after jeff. Davis had been
captured" says gentleman report
er in the Boston TrdUeller, Il called
over at the White House to see Pres
ident Lincoln. I was ushered in,
and asked him: We'll, Mr.. Presi-
dent, what are you going to do with
jeff. Davis? 2" Lincoln looked at me
for moment and then said in his
peculiarly humorous way: That re-
minds me of a story. A boy way
out west caught coon and tanned it
to a considerable extent, but the an
imal created such mischief about the
house that his mother ordered him to
take it away and not come home
until he could return without his pet.
The boy went down town with the
coon, secured with stout piece of
twine, and in about an hour he was
found sitting on the edge of the curb
stone, holding the coon with one
hand and crying as though his heart
would break. A big-hearted gentle
man who was passing, stopped and
kindly inquired: "Say, little boy,
what is the matter?" The boy wip-
ed a tear from his eye with his sleeve
and in an injured tone howled:
ssMatterl Ask me what's the mat
teri You see that coon there?
Well, I don't know what to do with
the darn thing. 1 can't sell it, |
can't kill it, and ma won't let me
take it home. ;"

Through the whole night Mrs. Spauld-
ing sat there holding her child.
In the morning the Indians arous-
ed from their drunken sleep and
crept out of the house. Ever after
that Mrs. Spaulding was considered
heroine by them, and called the
"brave white squaw," and they ex-
pressed their admiration of her be-
havior to them by bringing her pres
ents of game, fish and corn. Mrs.
Spaulding's dream was fulfilled, she
saw the wilderness disappear before
the ak of the woodman, and thrifty
farms and comfortable homes takes
its place.
She lived to be about eighty, leav-
ing many descendants to cherish her
memory. The copper tea kettle is
in the possession of a great-great-
granddaughter who considers it one
of her household treasures. Portland

PETER COOPER

when Peter Cooper was buried, q
month ago, the streets were full of a
hushed crowd blessing his memory.
The old man leaves nobody in this
community who inherits the univer-
sal public regard that was felt for
him. While his quaint and venera-
BILE figure was still familiar object
on the streets, the Cooper Union was
his monument as if he had been dead
for hundred years; and in a city of
great fortunes it would be curious
inquiry whether rich men-and rich
is but comparative term-perceived
the meaning of the public feeling that
followed his death. There is often a
kind of jealousy of rich men. and of
late there are men noted for great
wealth who have been so held ND to
public reprobation that it is becoming
necessary for man to explain and
justify his riches as if they were a
public wrong. But Peter Cooper
was rich man, and nobody had an
unkind feeling toward him.
Jealousy of riches is due either to
a belief that the money was acquired
unjustly, or that it is spent selishly
The latter we suspect to be the more
general feeling. Hl-gotten gain is
tolerated more readily than ill-spent
gain. When Tweed laid out the
fower-beds in the Park, and mended
the paths in the squares, sent coal to
the poor, it was not the poor alone
who condoned the notorious methods
by which he had obtained the money,
but prosperous taxpayers also re-
marked, as they shrugged their
shoulders, that at least he returned
to the public in that way some of the
money that he stole. But for Peter
Cooper there was nothing to be con-
doned, and no kind of sophistry was
necessary. A poor boy, with scarce
ly years schooling, he worked in
dustriously at several trades, until
his sagacity, temperance, honesty
and thrift had amassed a fortune.
AS he had made it by the practice of
simple virtues, he spent it generously
for humane purposes in the eyes of
all men. 1t was not by the scope of
vast enterprises, the exercise of a
practically despotic power, splendor
of equipage and of living, that he
was known, but by his patient care
to provide for the less fortunate, for
those who were poor, as he had been,
and who desired opportunity as he
had desired it; and for them he pro-
vided technical schools and lectures
and reading-rooms and libraries, and
these were the activities of a rich
man which the whole world saw.
There is not an owner of ''great
possessions" like the young man in
Bible story, who may not learn from
Peter Cooper's life the secret of turn
ing the jealous feeling with which
great possessions are sometimes view
ed into one of regard and admiration.
No investment of money is compare
BILE to that which is made in the kind
ly feeling and sympathy of others.
There are men in New York who
would probably gladly give what
would be fortune to many men for
the simple and hearty good feeling
with which Peter Cooper was regard
ed. They have only to remember
that the old exhortation is still as ap-
propriate as ever-'EGo thou and do
likewise And the opportunities of
such doing in this great community
are as various as they are constant.

THIRD AND FOURTH WARDS
Trains all on time last night.


A man was seen smoking in the
waiting room of the Union depot last
night by Special Policeman Rich
mond, who ordered him to 20 outside
while smoking. The smoker refused
and the officer put him out. After he
got on the platform he commended to
abuse the officer, and ut last drew o
pistol on him. Richmond took his
pistol away from him and whacked
him over the head with such force that
the cylinder flew out oft. He was ar
rested and carried to the calaboose
where he deposited $50 for his appear
ance in court this morning. AT tht
'boose he gave the name OF Felix AS
sum.
When the west bound passenger
came to the Union depot last night {
detective from Arlington jumped iron
the train and hunted up officer Rich
mond and told him there were mint
men on the train who were suspected
of being train robbers. He said he wal
| telegraphed from Marshall to look on
for the robbers, and that he had noticed
a number of armed men Oh the tran
who We're acting strangely. once
| Richmond at once accompanied nm
back through the train, but the mol
had left the ears, and "A thorough searci
| for them was made without success
1t could not be learned who the tele
gram was from nor any more definit'
| particulars last night, but the who'll
affair was very strange. The detectiy
was Il man regularly in the employ o
the Gould system.

Abusing His Privilege.

Last night about o'clock an indi-
vidual of somewhat fierce appearance
got Il drink mt the corner of Second and
Main, and then proceeded to kick up q
muss, during the. course of which he
displayed a line revolver. Officer Jim
COPYRIGHT happened to be in the
neighborhood aud was called upon to
take charge ofthe obnoXiousin individual.
He gave his name as James HICKS,
claimed thai he was deputy sheriff
from one Of the out counties, and
showed his commission. 1t was not
according to the prescribed form, how
ever, and was considered spurious:
An unknown individual came up and
offered to go on his bond. Oilicer
Courtsight asked him who would SO
on his, and he wilted. Bond was
given, however, for his appearance to-
day, and he was released. Atl2 o'clock
he was seen by reporter curled up In
IA snug corner of public house, Stun,
boring as peacefully as IL an angel
dream was passing over him.

Last night about S o'clock j, II.
Rogers was walking ON Houston street
near the corner OF Fifteenth, when
he was assaulted from the rear and
knocked down. His assailant then
proceeded to go through his pockets,
getting about $75 for his work. Two
citizens saw the assault and when the
robber started Off on run they fol-
lowed him and fortunately Officers
Cocker and Jim Maddox were near at
hand and the man was arrested. He was
an Italian, and pretended that hecould
not speak English. A pistol presented
NJ his breast gave him II quick knowl-
edge OF the language, and he ucknowl-
edged that he had robbed Rogers and
quietly surrendered the fruits of his
unlawful labors. He was taken to the
calahooso for safe keeping, and will
probably get to work for both the city
and state free of charge.

tisement elsewhere. The Savannah

appearance Ia that city:
SlvaDnah's partiality for light opera
was again most convincingly demon
strated at the theater last night, by the
presence of an audience which re-
quired every seat for its accommodate
ton. "Olivette's" plot and tunetul
strains long ago became familiar to
the play-goers, but its Interpretation
by the Grau company was so spright-
ly, and the witticisms 50 new and
original, that the presentation had
many of the novelties of new pro-
ductlon. The characters were distri-
buted among II east Of remarkably
well-balanced voices, and the work
was well sung from the beginning 10
the end. The engagement will ques'
tionless prove the success that so good
company should ensure. "Billee
Taylor will be presented at the nlati'
nee this afternoon, and The Mas
cote" in the evening. These are both
popular operas, and will no doubt be
well rendered.
