usual quiet manner: THAT reminds me of
story" which he told in u manner SO Humorous
as to indicate that he was free from care and APP
prehenslon. This to me was surprising. l could
not then understand how the President could
feel like telling q story when Washington was in
danger of being captured and the whole North
was dismayed, and left the White House with
the feeling that / had been mistaken in Mr.
Lincoln's character, and that his election might
prove to havs been a fatal mistake. This feeling
was changed from day to day as the war
went on; but it was not entirely overcome
until went to Washington in the spring of 1868,
and as an officer of the government was permit
ted to have free intercourse with him. l then
perceived that my estimate of him before his
election was we'll grounded, and tn at he pos
sessed even higher qualities than / had given
him credit for; that he was man of sound
Judgment. great singleness and tenacity of pur-
pose and extraordinary sagacity; that story
telling was to him a safety valve. and that he
INDUCED in it, not only for the pleasure it af-
forded him, but for a temporary relief from on,
pressing cares; that the habit had been so cult
waited that he could make u story illustrate
sentiment and give point to an argument.
Many OF his stories were as apt and
instructive the best of AIsop's fables.
All OF his stories, however, were not
of this character. Next to the theater he liked
to tell stories and to listen to them. The even
ing of the day which the reports of Sheri-
dams great victory in the valley of Virginia
were received tspent with him in company with
Mr. Randall. Postmaster general, and few OF
DIR. Lincoln's personal friends, at the Soldiers
Home. Mr.. Lincoln was in the best of spirits,
and Randall was also good story elier. For
two hours there was constant run of story
telling-Lncoln leading and Randall following
contest between them as to which should tell
the best story and provoke the heartiest laughter.
The stories were not such as would be listened
to with pleasure by very refined ears, but they
were exceedingly funny The verdict of the
listeners was that while the stories were equally
good, Mr.. Lincoln had displayed the most humor
and skill.

Interview in WASHINGTON Republican.
Here visitor was introduced, and the report

surroundings Of the place that the General calls
home. On every side were works of refined
taste. The walls were decorated with varied
tints of artistically decorated china plaques por-
traits of friends and relatives interspersed, and
hanging upon the walls were seen Indian relics,
memoirs of some historic events or the kindly
remembr Slces of friends. The furniture, though
not Of the thousand dollar kind. was
in good keeping with the soft Brussels car
pets. The library is coy and inviting. In
the middle of it stands a mahogany desk
and the huge piles of letters and manuscripts
scattered over it have flavor Of business. On
the left of the desk is revolving ease burdened
with handbooks on all leading subjects of the day.
In front of the desk sits large, roomy, cane

THAT FORGED DISPATCH.
The Authorship of che Press Telegram Impli-
eating Assayer Harrison, of Helena.

Helena Herald, June II.
A live sensation in Helena is the fraudulent
Associated Press dispatch wired from this city
on the 9th inst, duplicating Assayer Harrison
in the use of government funds for speculation
in private enterprises. The dispatch had affixed
thereto the forged signature of III. NJ Hill, of
the Independent. one of the two Associated Press
agents here. 1t was accepted in good faith by
the telegraph authorities of The Helena Office,
forwarded, as addressed. to VIM. Henry Smith,
Chicago and San Francisco, and distributed
broadcast over the country. Investigation, as
we are informed, shows that the dispatch was
the product of an employe of the Independent
who, in the absence of Mr. Hill. and without his
knowledge, attached his (Hilrs) name thereto
This was done In the Office of the Independent
it is stated in the presence of the editor of the
paper, DR.. Swallow, to whom the message was
read and by whom it was approved, after which
the employe conveyed and delivered the dispatch
to the telegraph Office.
Tits reported this morning that Superintendent
Smith, of the Associated Press, demands that
the perpetrator of the bogus dispatch shall be
properly exposed and punished. and on the part
Of the Independent another report is rife that the
offending employe will be discharged. How,
consistently, this can be done fail to see The
dispatch came out of the Office os the Independ-
emit, inspired, it is believed, by the manager
thereof-anyway, sanctioned by him-and just
why the paid employe of the paper should be
made the scapegoat of the conspiracy and re-
quired to pay the penalty of job undertaken in
behalf Of mis- employer can't clearly be under
stood. DR.. Swallow is making desperate effort
to get Assayer Harrison's place. and when, with
countenance and connivance, an underStrapper
and striker tries by desperate methods TO assist
his principal, we should say it would be wise to
stick by" If the discharge of the employee en-

, Well, Who's the Author, Dir. Swallow?
To the Western Associated Press

To the Western Associated Press.
HELENA, NJ. T., June 16.-Several kilograms
have been sent from here stating that DR.. Swal-
low, editor of the Independent, instigated the
charges against Assayer Harrison, now being
investigated, and that he was party to the
sending of the dispatch about Harrison's use of
the public funds. DR.. Swallow has published in
the Independent fat denial of both charges,
showing that he knew nothing of the charges
against Harrison until long after they were pre-
ferred. Both DR.. Swallow and Marks have
published cards that DR.. Swallow knew nothing
of the telegram until it appeared in the papers.

MAxwELI5s FATHER.

He Visits His SON in Prison.-An Old
Mans 0rief-A Murderer's Indiffer-
ence.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.-In the jail tonight,
Samuel N. Brooks, Of Hyde, England. met
his son Hugh, charged with the Preller
murder. The young man succeeded in
controlling his emotions, but the elder
gave vent to his grisi, and had to be sup-
ported during the interview. When the
prisoner was brought before him he scam
ned his face intently.
"Hugh, is it tyouT he said with an
effort.
Maxwell turned pale and replied, "It is
father"
When the son spoke the old man stag,
gered forward and fell heavily against the
bars OF the iron cage. He recovered HIM
self by a supreme effort and again gazed
at his son.
"'TwOuld have been better for you TO be-
dead than here" he continued. 81 did
not believe the report Till now. Your
poor mother is nearly dead and the family
Is all but ruined"
Maxwell sat with downcast eyes and
an expression of annoyance on his face.
He asked no questions and volunteered no
information.
Father and son were lett alone together.
and an hour later the old gentleman came
out with the marks Of pain and agitation
plainly discernible. Mr. Brooks arrived
in the city last night, but on advice Of his
sons counsel went to East So. Louis, Ill,
in order 10 escape a subpoena from the
grand Jury, now in session. He did not
desire 20 be called as witness. This
morning he received assurances from the
prosecuting attorney that the grand jury
did not desire his testimony, aud he
came out OF his concealment.
In talking with the Tribune corre-
spoDdent he said that be firmly believed
in his sons insanity. The young man
had never shown propensity to murder,
and he must be insane. Mr.. Brooks, who
is a schoolmaster In the town OF Hyde,
will do what he can for his sons defense,
but will not remain here more than a
week. Hugh Is n years old, and the
father has not seen him since January,
when he started ostensibly for Dublin, but
really for America.

minutes to l2 O'Clock on June Is until

feated, and their commander cried out:
Boys can You think OF giving wayY
Remember old England" and the tides
turned, and at s O'Clock in the
evening the man of destiny, who
was called by bis troops Old
Two Hundred Thousand, turned away with
broken heart, and the fate OF centuries
was decided, No wonder great mound
has been reared there, hundreds OF feet
high, mound at the expense OF millions
or dollars and many years in rising, and
on the top is the great Belgian lion OF
bronze, and grand old lion il is. But our
great Waterloo was In Palestine. There
came q day when all hell came up, led by
ApollyOn, and the Captain Of our saliva
tiOn confronting them alone, the rider on
the white horse of the Apocalypse going
out against the black horse cavalry Of
death. From II O'clock at noon TO O'clock
in the afternoon the greatest battle OF the
universe went on, Eternal destinies were
being decided. All the arrows Of hell
pierced our Chieftain, and the battleaXes
struck him until brow, and cheek and
shoulder, and hand, and foot were incar-
nadined with oozing life; but he fought on
until he gave final stroke with sword
from Jehovah's buckler, and the COM
mander in-chief Of hell, and all his forces,
fell back in everlasting ruin, and the vic
tory is ours, and on the mound that cele-
brates the triumph we plant this day two
figures, not in bronze, or iron, or sculp-
tured marble, but two figures of living
light--the Lion Of Judah's tribe and the
Lamb that was slain.
