Claims Of Ipswich.

The town of Ipswich, which recently
celebrated it's 250th anniversary. puts
in a bid for fame that makes the fal
from unassuming claims of other Mas.
sachusetts towns modesty itself. 1ps-
witch gets a good deal of satisfaction
out of the fact that if a strong north
EASTER had not been blowing at the
time when the Pilgrims were beating
round for a safe harbor, they would
have landed at that venerable town.
On the day of the celebration strong
men went around and congratulated
each other on the credit that Ipswich
deserved for its narrow escape from re-
nown. If only that storm had been a
.snorthwester" instead of d north
EASTER they would have had two bands
of music instead of one, and the thirsty
populace could have have had pink
lemonade instead of icewater. The
general impression is that the Pilgrims
wanted to land at Ipswich. There is
every eason to think so. There is
a tradition carefully guarded in
Ipswich that Miles Standish paced the
deck Of his vessel with Impotence and
finally said: ''Land me at Ipswich or
take me home to die" Finally, how
6Ntr, IL was dSFttu Gudb Gucy Suottlu
flip an old Spanish guilder. Plymouth
won the toss, and one band of music is
sufficient to express Ipswich's share of
the glory in the memorable event. 1t
will cease to be a cause of regret
that no definite knowledge comes to us
whether Ipswich lost by a head or a
tail. At all events, ever since that day
there has been a GOODNESS between the
two towns, especially in winter. just
why Ipswich should take any credit is
not apparent. What is to prevent the
Pacific Coast from putting on airs be-
cause Columbus would have landed
there if he had gone via Yokohama?
Why should not Chicago have a horse
tlot and send up a few balloons in cele-
bration of the fact that Henry Hudson
might have lost himself in that locality
If he could not have found any other
place to landP If Ipswich's example is
encouraged, we shall see Cohoes grow
ing proud because La Sale would have
gone there had the Mississippi River
lowed in that direction, or Singerlands
having a flag raising in honor of Ponce
de Icons voyages.-Albany Journal.

CHEERING, NEWS.
April the Sd news Came to the hospital that
Richmond had been taken by our troops at
S:15 a. m. This news cheered every heart and
seemed to impart vigor to many of the soldiers.
Troops at that time weredaily passing through
Chattanooga on the cars. Among them were
those of General Thomas, On their way to
North Carolina. As the cars stopped, some of
our old soldier friends would often give MS a
call They were from Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and all seemed
like old friends.
April 10 news came that General Lee and
his army had surrendered. Guns were fired
and engines whistled in honor of the event,
and on the 18th Secretary Stanton ordered all
recruiting to be stopped Still, in the hospital
almost every day some died. At noon, on the
18th of April, all our JOY was turned into the
deepest grief by the sad intelligence that
Abraham Lincoln, our beloved and honored
President, had been assassinated the evening
before, and had died that morning. 1t cast a
gloom over all to know that he had been
stricken down by the hand of an assassin. The
news spread rapidly. little colored boy
