THE BAoKER OF ERICSSON.
A New Story About Abraham Lincoln
and John Ericsson.

Fran the Mem YOrk World
LONG BRANCH, July 22.-John Wins
low. Of Poughkeepse, was the hacker OF
John Ericsson IN the building of the first
Monitor during the late war. A Balti-
more gentlemen, who recently visited Mr..
Window, says that the latter is rich,
prosperous, and, although quite old, is in
very good health. This Baltimore visitor
relates a story given by Mr.. WinslOw q
his experience in Washington when he
sought to have EricssOn'5 invention
recognized by the government. Mr..
WinslOw was firmly convinced Of
the merits OF Ericsson's inven-
ton. BE was ready to furnish
him the capital required, provided the
government would recognize Ericsson
and adopt the monitor in the service.
WinslOw and Ericsson went 10 Washing
ton. They had interviews with Secreta-
ries Stanton and Welles. Neither of them
gave them the slightest encouragement.
They then went to Mr.. Lincoln. He lis
tened TO them very carefully and then
said "This is a matter for my Secretaries
10 consider" "But we have already been
to tnem," said Mr.. WinslOw. swell,
what do you want me to do" SAID Mr..
Lincoln. eve want you TO get us another
hearing before the Secretary of War, and
we want you TO be present during the IN
teryiew, ana to give us, If possible,
the benefit of your approval" Mr..
Lincoln promised to come over during the
afternoon. An engagement was made
with stanton. MIR. Lincoln appeared
promptly at the time set. In the Secre-
tary's room at the time there was a huge
pine box of some kind OF army supplies
standing up on end. Mr.. Lincoln mount
ed this box and sat on its top, drumming
against It's sides with his heels as Erics-
son and Winslow presented their argu-
ments and explained what they expected
to do. MIR. Lincoln never said a word dur
ing the course Of the talk, and did not ask
a single question. He listened, though,
with the most profound attention. stanton
turned toward him at the close of the
argument and said, What do you think OF
it| Mr.. Lincoln rubbed his knee softly
and said "rhis reminds me of little
story. There was once a woman who
was very stout, and who had a long strug-
gle one day putting on Il tight stocking.
When she had finished she stamped her
foot and said, Il think there Is something
in it," With this Mr. Lincoln left the
room. This form Of his approval of the
scheme was enough for Mr.. Stanton.
Orders were given that very afternoon for
the construction of the monitor. 1t
was completed none to soon, for it
arrived of Fortress Monroe upon
the very daY when the Merrimac
had started out on its career.

FLEEOED BY STARTERS.
A FrenchwOman and Her Son Get Away
With Diamonds Worth S25, 900.
From the Neao York World.

FROM the Ne3c YORK. World.
Mrs. Pauline Joaquin, a French woman,
representing herself as widow, and AL
fred Joaquin, aged 20, claiming to be her
son, comprising the firm Of 2. Joaquin &
Son, dealers in jewelry, at No. 253 Fifth
avenue, have disappeared. leaving their
creditors in the lurch to the extent OF up
ward of $4,000. Some Of the creditors
learned Of their departure on Tuesday.
and, upon consultation, 1t was decided to
put the case in the hands of detectives,
which was accordingly done. The mem
bers OF the firm were at the store on Mon
day last, but their whereabouts since are
unknown, but 1t is supposed by some that
they have gone to Canada.
The firm opened at No. 253 Fifth avenue
on May /. They are natives Of Alsace
and came to this country about three
wears ago. Mrs. Jacquin's father died in
Alsace some time ago, and his estate is
still unsettled, but she claimed her share
will be $4,000 10 $4,000. Prior to starting
on Fifth avenue they made their head
quarters at 176 Broadway, where Alfred
was broker in jewelry and Mrs. Joaquin
sought customers among ladies They
were also located for while in Seven
teenth street.
statement to Br0dStTeecS that they were
using about $4,000 capital in their bust
ness, and, leaving out the property in
Alsace, were worth at least $4,000: that
their liabilities were between 81 800 and
81 500, which were offset by outstandings
that there were no chattel mortgages nor
judgments against them and neither had
ever failed, that they bought diamonds on
four months, settling by note, and that
hav I'D a bFNa ~
Not much faith was placed in this
statement, and Bradstreets notified their
subscribers at once that the firm could
not be regarded as desirable credit GUS
toners, and placed them on the "call''
list. several merchants, however, sold
them as high as 80, 900 worth OF diamonds
on time, and now bewail their loss. The
firm also bought goods on memorandum,
and il is claimed by the creditors that a
large portion OF them were pawned for
cash. II also said that pawn-tickets rep
resenting $4,000 worth OF jewelry and
diamonds have been found in the safe by
the creditors. The goods were pawned In
various pawnbrokera' shops and under
various names. Nothing was left in the
store except the fixtures and the safe, the
latter being only partly paid for. The
creditors are Of opinion that the firm OBJ
tanned about $4,000 worth OF diamonds
and jewelry, most Of which has been
turned into cash.
Three firms suffer 10 the extento Of $4,000
each, two 5 u 800, and the others In smaller
amounts. The whole scheme was worked
in a very short time.
Judge DonOhue granted attachments
against the concern ip favor OF llelibr0nn
81 Blank, and Alfred II. Felix against
whatever property may be found upon the
ground that the Jacquins had left the
state for the purpose of deirauding credi-
tors. The first suit is upon claim Of
$76j % for goods and the second u ON a
prOmissOry note for $1,000.

He Lost Confidence in Men.

FROM me fhtiNuetDNtU 1le1c6.
Ex-Congressman Gunter was, during
the war, proud and impressive officer.
He was not afraid of the enemy, and never
sought a chance of keeping out of harms
way, but it was well-known fact that the
clanking panOply and turkey-gobber
strut OF war was to him quite as interest
ing as the CLEAN of the bayOnet or the
''cannOn's opening roar" In January,
1868, Gunter marched his men from the
Northwest down to the capital city.
While the men were halted on the oppO-
site bank of the river Gunter went over
INTO town, and while there became ac-
quainted with several young ladies. In
the presence of these ladies he decided to
make an impressive show, and he told
them 10 stand upon the hotel balcony to
be cheered by his troops as they passed.
"Now, boys" said Gunter, when he had
gone back TO his men, "when you cross
over / want you TO march just as grace
fully as you possibly can. A party of
ladies will be standing on the balcony.
When take of my nat and shout, three
cheers for the ladies of Little Rock, JEFF
Davis and the Southern COnfederacY,'
you must all cheer"
The men were not in a cheering humOr
They had marched through many miles Of
snow. The peacock feather to them,
While it might have been picturesque, pos
sesseu not tnat great charm which turks
around "A loaf of bread and "A place TO sit
down. just before arriving opposite the
hotel, on the balcony OF which the ladies
stood, one Of the officers said; "Boys. we's
got enough OF this foolIshness. Don't
open your mouth. Pass II along the line.
The word was passed along. Gunter
took OIL his hat, waved IL and exclaimed:
"Ihree cheers for the ladies ofLittle kock,
JeH Davis and the Southern COnfederacyu"
The men we're marchingin the most zlgzag
and slatternly manner. No one oheered.
Gunter "ducked" his head and breathed
an oath as long rs a plOw-line. shortly
after the soldiers pessed the hotel a yell
low dog ran into the street. Then the
men yelled. Gunter raved. Standing
upon his stirrups he exclaimed: sob,
yes, dang YOU! You can't cheer q party
Of ladies', but you can cheer n dang yaller
dog, dang youw Never afterwards did
Gunter place 80 much confidence In his
men.

TRUTH ABoUTTHE RED PRINCE.
He Cruelty Hurled Cat into a Cupboard
OF Choice China.

Parts Correspondence Pitts5ur0 Dispatch.
A Nine. Hedrls, whose house near
Paris the Red Prince bad chosen for his
temporary quarters-general during the
war of 1870, said that her heart sank
when In his presence. She saw a bloated,
surly officer, without a ray of human
sympathy in his round, prosaic face. She
told the following anecdOte to the Paris
correspondent Of Truth: The Prince
wanted TO know what there was in the
cellar, and warned the lady that as he was
pressed for time, she would do well to
show his orderly her best vintages. He
sat in speaking to her, with his cap riv-
eted on his head, and his legs stretched
out. When she was speaking to him, he
had occasion to get up, and stood, in do
ing so, on an AngOra cat. The animal
protested in cat cries.
Prince Frederick Charles was eXas-
perated at the noise it made, and taking it
up by the tail, dashed it through the glass
doors of a buffet where choice porcelain
was piled up. Pussy behaved like bull
in a china shop, which caused almost a
CLEAN of mirth to pass over the cOunte-
nance of the Prince, who was tickled at
the destruction that was going on. This
anecdOte shows that he was a HOhenzol-
lern OF the old-fashioned, hard-gralned,
rough, and sensual type. RequieScGt IN

An EngIishman,s RAT story.

/ can explain how the rats removed the
eggs without breaking them. as that feat
was accomplished under the observation
OF friend Of mine, who related the same
20 me. My friend was in the habit Of
placing his new-laid eggs in the tea caddy
along with the tea, but night after night
they were mysteri0usly removed, ana,
very naturally, the servants got the blame.
One night, however, my friend was read
ing at a late hour, when he heard the
Bcuiiling Of rats ascending the sidebOard
on which was the tea caddy containing
the eggs. The thought instantly flashed
across bis mind that he had been perhaps
uniustly severe toward his servants, and
silently he watched the proceedings. II
y as a simple matter to remove the lii.
two or three rats descended into the tea
caddy. some remained on the top. and I'm a
minute the mystery was solved. one
rat clasping the egg was being hauled
along by his companions gently lifted
aud lowered 20 the floor. whence, on his
back and stlll claspiug tie egg. they sue
ceedcc in safely carrying IL away, and the
whole Of them were remOged without
breaking one.

The facts which exist at the summit of
affairs in London, if they were possible at
the city of Washington, would be
thoroughly presented in the American
press. The late Chief Justice of England,
Alexander COckburn, lived in the midst
OF his illegitimate family during nearly
his entire term of office. He sentenced
men for adultery, etc., in sublime hypO-
crisy of the universally known fact that
he returned from the bench to the very
conditions he had punished. Every club
and every free-and-easy I'm London
bruited about this fact, but nobody dared
to print it. Yet he was Baron and
was the Chief Justice of England over
twenty years. His successor. Mr.. Cole
ridge, has just given the British and
American public an indication of the pun
ishing powers of the high classes when
their wickedness is exposed. COincident
with Mr.. Edmund Yates being sent to
prison for having published a paragraph
which a female of the aristOcr8cy sent
him, the son of the Chief Justice was
brought into court and prosecuted for
libel, and the jury found for the plaintiff,
and the judge threw the verdict out. Then
the plaintiff came back with suit against
the Chief Justice himself, and the ag-
grieVed person was incidentally the
daughter of that Justice, who had been
forbidden to keep company with her
equal, and lshe twas reduced, like GIN
derella, to sit by the fire in her fathers
house and cook his food. BY this time
the public Impotence was up, and before
the case went to the jury the Chief JUS
tice paid about $4,000 to $4,000 a year to
his daughter to take the man and go off.
