Lincoln,s Way and StantOnss Stick. to.atIveness.
 ICharles 4. Dana in the Tribune.l
 The last time I saw MT. Lincoln to speak with him was in the afternoon of the day of his murder. The same Jacob Thompson was the subject of our conversation. had received a report from the provost marshal of Portland, Me, saying that Mir. Thomp- son was to be in that town that night for the purpose of taking the steamer for liv- erpeol, and what orders had the depart ment to givea I carried the telegram to MT. Stanton He said promptly, "Arrest him." But as was leaving the room he called me back, adding, tYou had better take it over to the President" It was now between four and five o'clock in the after noon and business at the White House was completed for the day. I found Mr. Lln- coln with his coat off in closet attacneo to his office washing his hands Hauoa, Dana," said he as I opened the door; what is it nowrn eWen, sir,' said, there is. the provost marshal of Portland who tele- graphs that Jacob Thompson is to be in that town tonight and inquires what or ders we have to give" What does Stan

 sent to the provost marshal. That night MT. Lincoln was shot, and in the room ad- joining the small chamber in which he lay unconscious and breathing heavily MT. Stanton, the only member of the administra- ton who seemed to retain his self-possession and undiminished energy, gave all the or l ders for hours that seemed necessary to carry | on the government. I left him at about two o'clock in the morning and went home to
 sleep. But at five o'clock Colonel Peiouse knocked at my front door. 0penlng tne window, asked, 'sWhat is ita' "Mr Dana, :"

On Monday
 I5th June, Tuesday 18th June, and Wednesday .I7th June, We propose to make a
Grand benefit
 sale of COTTON GOODS.

We name these three days be cause we are not sure whether we shall run 1t all the week ol not; certainly we cannot afford to do 1t for more than one week. The three days are all we are pledged to.
 Now, the difference between this sale and the ordinary cotton sales is this We mean to re- duce aX our cottons without ex- ception. The usual custom with some of our competitors has been to reduce one or two well known makes to less than cost price, and to charge the usual Gf not actually higher) prices for all the rest. In this sale there will be TO keaders, be- cause evercy piece of cotton in stock will be marked, for the time, at non-remunerative prices.
 Of course it is likely enough that some one will begin fool ing with Fruit of the Loom or some such cotton, and offer it away below cost. If they do we shall meet and beat them of course. But that is not where the real benefit to the public will come in. It will be in the fact that aX ou7- cottons will be sold, for the three days at least, below their market value.
 So much for our promise to the public. It doesn't matter much, we suppose, to any one why we are doing this /; but we don't care if we tell one reason. At the present moment we own cottons cheaper than we ever did before. We bought heavi- ly at the recent great auctions (no one else in New Haven did)-and we bought also by private bargain at prices dorni- mated by the auctions.
 We have a shrewed suspicion that we can make a 6Eg cotton sale just now with less loss to ourselves than any of our neigh bors can, and as we would like to unload some, we mean to try it. The sale will comprise yard wide bleached and brown cottons of all grades, pillow case and sheeting cottons, ducks, drills, denims, ticks and avn ings.
 Some special drives in prints will be made at the same time.

 The Southern Immigration association, which has fifteen States represented in its membership, has decided to vigorously ad- vertise the resources of the South. It will not content itself with distributing tracts, but proposes to exhibit southern products in every practicable way.

 The secretary of the Massachusetts Fish and Game Protective, association calls atten- ton to the slaughter that has been going on
 among the singing birds in order to answer
 the demands of fashion. These demands come from Paris mil1iners, as we'll as from the local purveyors of women's wear. It is
 noted in Forest and Stream that 140,000 of our small birds were bought and sold by three dealers in single season. From some places the golden robin has entirely disap- peared No bird is spared.
 The Lovat peerage case, which excites great interest in England, will be heard to- morrow. The case is one of immense im- portance, involving, as it does, the existence of one of the oldest Roman Catholic peer ages in Scotland, and estates whose rental is
 not less than $15O, ,OOO year. The present
 claimant, John Fraser, rests his claim on the contention that he is descended from Alex ander Fraser, son of the ninth Lord Lovat, who fed from Scotland toward the close of
 the seventeenth century on account of killing
 fiddler in row, and because he was impi-
 cated in the rebellion. He is miner on low
 wages, and this is alleged as the reason why
 he did not press his claim before.
 The project of tunnel under the Straits
 of Messina, to connect Sicily with Italy, is
 an enterprise which was long ago recom-
 mended by scientific experts. But recently 8
 Piedmontese company has come forward with
 8 counter project for bridge, an enterprise which, it is remarked, will if ever carried out constitute as remarkable work of the kind as there is in the world. According to the published statement, the width of the strait at its narrowest point is about two miles, but owing to the great depth of the water-more than 800 feet-on this line the projectors propose to locate the bridge where it would have length of about two miles and half. The plan of this gigantic struc- ture involves four piers, connected by spans of fye-eighths of mile in length, the two shore arches having half the span of the three central ones

THE returns of the election in Hamilton
county are not yet counted. In one precinct
the judges stopped counting on Tuesday night
and have not yet resumed, while in another
the ballot-box has not yet been opened, and
in another two hundred more tickets were
found in the box than there are
registered voters in the precinct. From these
facts it is evident that it was the intention to
hold Hamilton county back, and doctor the
returns sufficient to determine the result,
should the State have been close. The
Infamous scoundrels engaged in this business
should be introduced to the penitentiary. A
stiff dose of the medicine administered to
Mackin and Gallagher, in Chicago is needed
in Cincinnati. Unless something decided is
done with such criminals it will not be
long before Cincinnati enjoys the ex-
perience of another riot The committee
of one hundred have taken hold of the matter,
and it is hoped somebody can be made to
suffer for their rascality. Fortunately, the
result in the State does not depend on Ham
ilton county. Both the State ticket and q
Republican majority on joint ballot are as
sured without the help of that county.

AN analysis of the figures of the city cleo
ton shows that the report that Mr.. Shields's
election as clerk was due to the Knights of
Labor organization was untrue. Mr.. Breunig
received within four the same number of
votes that Mr. Denny did. Mr.. Breunig did
notrun behind his ticket. Mr.. Shieldss election
is accounted for by the fact that number of
Democrats scratched Mr. Cottrell and voted
for the clerk, leaving blank in the ballot for
mayor. 1t would be more strictly correct to
say that Mr.. Dennys election is due to this fact
for these scratches are what gave Mr.. Denny
his plurality The defeat of Mr. Bruenig
is greatly to be regretted; but the injustice
should not be done him to allow the impress
sion to become settled that he ran behind his
ticket. Mr.. Denny received 1908 votes. and
Mr.. Breunig 9,OS9 One of the most compe
tent, efficient and courteous officials that ever

into the Northern Democratic mind that Gen.

than practical that, while the pageantry and
parade may be very impressive to simple
minded folk, circus business is really no sub

political work. 1t would be shock, from

cover, if they were to wake up on the 9Th of
