Robert Todd Lincoln.

Secretary Of War-And Prominently
 Mentioned al the Republican Nominre e
 for the Presidency.
 Robert Todd Lincoln, Secretary of War, is the oldest and only surviving son of Abra- ham Lincoln and was born at Springfield, Illinois, August 13, 1S43. He received a good education In the common schools of that city, but concluded his preparatory course at Exeter, N. H. He entered Harvard college Efrom which he graduated in 1864. After his graduation he received 8 commis- sion as captain, and saw considerable ser- vice in the field, but because of his youth he was kept close companion to his father at the White House the greater part of the time.
 After the exciting scenes of his fathers assassination he settled in Chicago, where he stud jed law and was in a few years admitted to the bar. He then began the practice of his profession in that city and secured the management of several large estates and many eastern insurance companies who loaned large sums of money on Chicago real estate. In attending to these trusts, MT, Lincoln developed superior executive ability. He married the only daughter ex-Secretary James Harlan.
 During the Chicago convention Mir. Lin- coin was an ardent advocate of the nomina- tion of General Grant. and presided at the immense Grant meeting held in Chicago few days before the nomination for the Presidency was made. Before that period his only active effort in politics had been as

AID FOR BANKRUPT WORkIN G MEfN
 Governor Robinson of Massachusetts called attention in his inaugural address to tho need of some simple and inexpensive release in bankruptcy in the cases of insol- vents whose debts amount to less than two hundred dollars. The governor alluded to provision for small insolvencies which has done good service in England, and Carroll D. Wright, chief of the Massachusetts bureau of labor statistics, has furnished an interest ing and instructive explanation of the plan which prevails in England.
 Under this plan when 8 man owing small sum is sued in local court, 1t becomes the duty of the magistrate to inquire care fully into his financial circumstances. If it appears that the debtor cannot pay in full at once without impoverishing his family the court directs him to pay certain instalIment weekly to an officer who settles with the creditors. If, however, 1t is found that the debtors circumstances are such that he can not pay in full even under the installment plan without too great burden the magis- trate directs the payment of a certain per centage Of the debts by weekly installments as before. This arrangement applies in all cases where the property of the petitioning debtor does not exceed e3oO, and there is ample provision for the exemption of tools and instruments of trade.
 MT. Wright very properly says that the object of all releases in insolvency is to en- able men after 8 season of financial misfor tunes to begin again the enterprises which carry industry along, flor while the country afford to sustain heavy fail ures in business, 1t cannot afford to lose the genius and efforts of the managers of busi- ness;" and there is justice in the idea that the workingman ought to be released from 8 too heavy burden of debt as we'll as the busi- ness man. But there are objections to the plan. One of them is thus pointed out by the Springfield Union: 'GThe creditor has some rights to be respected, and the collec- tion of small debts is difficult enough now. They are the field in which the dead beat revels, and if the proposed law would have the effect of giving him greater freedom for the exercise of his proclivities than he now enjoys it certainly would not be tolerated by the business community" But the Union also says, and we think ia Is correct in so saying: The probabilities are that the direct opposite would be the fact. The creditor could bring suit precisely as at present. The court would then determine the question of the debtors ability, and finding him able to pay in full would enforce payment in full to an officer of the court. If not able to pay in full, the payment of the possible percent age would be exacted in the same way Debtor and creditor would stand on precisely the same footing before the law and there is reason to believe that the collection of debts that the debtor is able to pay would be as much facilitated as would be the re- lease of debtors really unfortunate and dis abled. The process and the decision would be quick and without expense to either narfy

6 member of citizens committee formed in Chicago to effect reformation and puritca- tion in local political affairs.
 President Garield's selection Of Mr. L1n- coln for Secretary of War was due to a de- termination to honor the name of our great war President, and so satisfactory was hIs administration of the War department during President Garfield's incumbency that Presi. dent Arthur retained MT. Lincoln in the Cabinet, and now finds him prominently mentioned as Presidential candidate. Mir. Lincoln disclaims any ambition for further political preferment, but his modest, unas- suming manner only induces his admirers to more earnestly advance his claims.
 Secretary Lincoln is one of the most popu- lar officials that the War department has ever been under, and in social and political circles, regardless of his party affiliations, he Is a universal favorite. In form and feature Mir. Lincoln has no resemblance whatever to his ilIustrious father, but in executive ability and an intuitive comprehension of public affairs he has certainly inherited the sterling characteristics of Abraham Lincoln.
 Dennis D. Ives-A Tribute. Farewell my friend! struggle with emotion
 As I sit mournfulIy beside your bier, Weeping with her Wh lifetime of devotion
 Is rounded now by true affections tear. No dry eyed mourneTs could we be to day,
 While to our memories cling your treasured deeds. For in our souls grisf's current must have way,
 While every heart with truest sorrow bleecs
 the loved pastor who his tribute gave, ! In words RSechoed from each throbbng hears, The tide of strong emotion, wave wave,
 Ger whelmed us, that the hour had come to part. I shall no more behold your kindlipg eye,
 Or grasp your hand in friendships warm embrace; Thtse chilling winds beneath winter sky,
 Have taken from us your beloved fsce. No more as comes the soft air of the spring,
 Will all the hbrss Of my soul rejoice
 To roam with you where feathered warolers sing
 A;Quiet listener to your pleasant voice. No more together shall we see the buds
 Burst into leafy foliage and bloom, Or rest with nature when in gentle moods, She weaves the springs soft color1 in her loom. Fsrewell dear friend, hearts will still retain, While He shall last, your actions kind and true,
 And in the spring days with their cloudless blue. FarewellI fsrewel1i another dream Is end-d, Another light has gor from out my sky,
 Those thoughts that quietly with mine have blended No more are here, and yet they will not die They will be with me till my life is over, As sunny memories all along its way, And passing sweet, like fields of scented clover, The e1derest feelings of my nature sway.

The decision of the United States Supreme court in the Spring Valley water company case is interesting.

A report has been going the rounds that the Rev. Leonard Woolsey Bacon created a sensation lately by preaching in Worcester Unitarian pulpit and wearing the white surplice of that denomination" The Wor- cester Spy says: MT. Bacon undoubtedly preached in Unitarian church here few Sundays ago. If he had worn white sur plice on that occasion his congregation would probably have been surprised. and If he had informed them that this vestnent was ''the white surplioe of that denomination" he would certainly have caused sensation. It may not be generally known in New York, where Unitarian congregations are not num- erous, that the churches of that faith do not much encourage the use of ecclesiastical or clerical vessments, and that thsre are no churches in the world where preacher in surplics would be stranger sight than in the Unitarian churches of Massachusetts.

 Mrs. Weldon is lady who wants the Eng fish Divorce court to compel her husband to live with her. She has brought suit for restitution of conjugal rights" and the court had no option but to compel MT. Well don to live with her or send him to jail for contempt. The court, however, sympa- thizes with Nr. Weldon, and considers that this procedure of compelling persons to live together is preposterous. It has, therefore, suspended any punishment of MT. Weldon pending an appeal he has made. So impa- tient, however, is the lady, that she actually applied to the Lords Justices of Appeal to get her husbands appeal taken out of its turn, which was refused. He has offered her $2. 800 year, but in vain. She is mo- torious litigant, always carrying on 8 suit against some one, and nothing pleases her better probably than suit against her hus- band. She had a marYellously beautiful voice, and was very much in society some years ago.
