LincoIn's Assassination.

"The darkest day of my life,' Gen.
eral Grant once said to a friend, "was
the day heard of Lincoln's assassina-
ton. did not know what it meant.
Here was the rebellion put down in the
field and starting up again in the gut
ters. We had fought it as war, now
we had to fight it as assassination. Lin
coin was killed on the evening of the
14th of April. | was busy sending out
orders to stop recruiting, the purchase
of supplies, and to muster out the army.
Lincoln had promised to 90 to the thea
ter and wanted me to go with him.
While was with the President note
came from Mrs. Grant saying that she
must leave Washington that night. She
wanted to 90 to Burlington to see her
children. Some incident of trifling
nature had made her resolve to leave
that evening. was glad to have it so
as / did not want to 90 to the theater,
so made my excuse to Lincoln and at
the proper hour we started for the train.
As we were driving along Pennsylva-
MIA avenue horseman drove past us
on a gallop and back again around our
carriage, looking into it. Mrs. Grant
said: "There is the man who sat near
us at lunch to-day with some other men
and tried to overhear our conversation.
He was so rude that we left the dining
room. Here he is now riding after us. :
thought it was only curiosity, but
learned afterward that the horseman
was Booth. 1t seems that was to
have been attacked and Mrs. Grants
sudden resolve to leave changed the
plans. A few days afterward | re-
ceived an anonymous letter from man
saying that he had been detailed to kill
ne, that he rode on my train as far as
Havre de Grace, and rs my car was
locked he failed to get in. lie thanked
God that he had failed. remember
that the conductor had locked our car,
but how true the letter was | can not
say. learned OF the assassination as
| was passing through Philadelphia. |

came on to Washington. 1t was the

To appearances, now, the tornado
cloud has two heads, one on the sur
face of the earth and the other in the
sky. the bodies of each joining in mid
air and tapering both ways with the
smallest diameter at their junction. In
other words, the cloud now assumes the
shape of an hour-glass, and the lower
portion displays extraordmarydest
i've violence. This last and most fatal
form of the tornado cloud is, fortunate

NAVY YARD SALUTEs.-Our esteemed
contemporary The Record, referring to
salute fred at Portsmouth Navy Yard in
honor of Surgeon-General Gunnell, United
States Navy, suggests that the burning of
eleven one. dollar bills would have had the
same significance, and the taxpayers would
have had clearer idea of what salute is.
Certainly they would, and the occasion
would have been ever so much more i'm
pressive had dollar bills to the actual value
of the powder consumed been committed to
the flames, for salute costs something more
than dollar charge. All of which sug
gests that Mr.. Whitney could do his country
q service-a small service in comparison
with some others he may be able to render.
but still service-by efecting reform IN
this whole business of saluting. There may
be a sort of necessity for burning powder oc'
casionally in honor of foreign potentates
and military and naval officers and on
special occasions, but there is something
absurd in the idea that eleven guns must be
fred at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, or at
any navy yard, or anywhere, because the
Surgeon General of the Navy happens to
come along. If Mr.. Gunnell when he WIS.,
tied the Portsmouth Navy Yard, had been
given flag salute, all the prophecies would
have been most abundantly observed.-N.
