Shaking Hands with the Soldiers After the

Shaking Hands with the Soldiers After the
First Battle of Bull Run.
Without attempting to record with
any degree of consecutiveness the occur
rences that followed each other like the
quick reports of Calling gun, will il
lustrate the simplicity of Abraham Lin
coins character, and the singular lack
of what we recognize as discipline, that
obtained in those days, by an incident
Immediately after the battle of Bull Run.
It was either the day after the battle of
Bull Run, or the day succeeding that,
a bright, beautiful day in the latter
part of July. 1861, when General Nc
Dowelrs troops were drawn up SOME
distance from Washington, that Presi.
dent Lincoln and Secretary of State
Seward visited the encampment.
The soldiers were what were known
as three months men. Their time had
expired prior to the battle of Bull Run,
but with an esprit that was characteristic
and did SO, sharing in the great drawn
fight, known throughout all time as the
first battle of Bull Run. The troops
were drawn up by companies, the Presi-
dent, standing in his carriage, Mr..
Seward and General Mcdowell not far
of, addressing them, thanking them
for the loyalty which led them to re-
main rather than return to their homes,
compimenting them upon their gal
lantry under fire, and, in the name of
the Nation, assuring them of the re-
spect and regard of their fellow-citizens.
That's all very we'll Imagine the
scene that followed. Drawn up in
double line, face to face, stood the
troops. Leaving his carriage, the Presi-
dent of the United States started at the
head of the line, and, with a God bless
you to each, shook hands right and left
with every man until he reached the end
Of the first company.
Turning at the end of the second, he
did the same with them, and SO on
through hundreds and hundreds. There
was q narrow line there between the
sublime and the ridiculous, but Lincoln
didn't cross it. and although under or
binary circumstances such procedure
would be absurd and indefensible, un-
der these circumstances he did precisely
the right thing at the right time, and
nine-tenths of these men whose time
had already expired re-enlisted for
three years or the war.-Joe Hos0Grd,

inside her cottage In less than thirty
minutes.
He hurled such hard words at the
man who kept him waiting five
minutes, that he never repeated the
offence; but he would pick up boy
from the gutter, feed, clothe, and
house him, and put him where he
might make man of himself. If
in a few weeks the shiftless boy
came back to Gordon, ragged, dirty,
and hungry, the Colonel would treat
him as though he was waif just
picked up, and again feed, clothe,
and place him.
Though he was scrupulously polite
to his subordinates, yet none of
them was ever allowed to forget
that Gordon was in command. In
giving orders he wasted no words,
and allowed no subordinate to
wander away from the business in
hand. But no one could have a
more kindly regard for the feelings
of others.
The contractor who was building
the fort had a clerk named Stan
nard. Gordon, having been order
ed to another post, was making a
farewell visit to the fort, in com
pany with the Inspector-General
and II dozen officers. The inspec-
ton was over, and all the party
except Gordon had seated them
selves in the steam launch. He
darted across the ground, threw
open the door of the clerks hut,
rushed in, and wringing his hand
exclaimed, Goodbye, Stannard |!
God bless and keep you always"
Before the astonished clerk could
reply, Gordon was out of the hut
and rushing towards the launch.
One of the best and greatest of
men, whose ambition was to be a
co-worker with the Master, confess
ed that he was but an 'ear,hen
vessel" Gordon was swayed by
the same ambition and humility. He
knew his frailties, but he cared only
for the praise or blame of one Being
God. He did not think himself
perfect, but he tried to be man
whom the Lord could use, and over
come his conscious imperfections.
His purpose, like a true soldier, was
to obey.

GORDON.

General Gordon was not saint,
though he was good man. He was
a man, and very human man. He
had strong parts, for he had genius,
talents, will, faith, and energy; but
he had weaknesses also, which show
ed themselves in his temper, pre-
JUDGES, and in his stupendous self.
confidence. Every boy who has
read five or six volumes of history
and truth-telling biography knows
that imperfect men are often chosen
to Gods work. Gordon was one of
Gods chosen workers, as were
David, Peter, Luther, and Crom-
well; men of faith and purpose who
yet had faults, and struggled to
overcome them. He who is both
weak and strong can feel with the
fallen whom he lifts up, and becomes
powerful in influence as he overcomes
his own weakness.
Gordon was methodical worker.
He dreaded inaction, did the task
with all his might, and valued time
as a miser his gold. He could be
charitable to the tempted, and
patient with the hayward, but woe
to the man who kept him waiting
five minutes, or interfered with his
methods. Energetic and simple
minded men, no matter how good,
become irritable when INSTRUCTED.
The most placid stream will foam at
the boulder which interrupts its
currents. An anecdote, told in the
Nineteenth Century, brings out
Gordon's impotence when little
things annoyed him.
When on duty as a colonel of
engineers, he used to begin his
working day at eight O'Clock in the
morning, and to end it at two in the
afternoon. Before and after those
hours, his manner was discouraging
to anyone who tried to see him on
business.
One morning the men at work On
fort were forced to stand idle until
the lines of an embrasure were set.
A difficulty arose which required
Gordon to remove. But it was only
little after seven o'clock, and
though his open bedroom window
showed that he had risen, no one
was willing to interview the Colonel.
At last the chief contractor, who
stood high in Gordon's graces, went.
Gordon, opening his door, so as to
see who had knocked, asked in an
irritable tone:
"What do you want?"
The contractor blandly explained
that the ColonePs presence was
necessary at the incomplete en-
brasure.
"By-and-bye," answered Gordon,
testify, and closed the door in the
nettled contractors face.
AT eight O'Clock the Colonel APP
peared at the embrasure, and at
once settled the matter. Then, as
he saw the men standing idle, he
expressed his regret that he had
kept the men waiting, but he had
not known that they were unable
to get on with anything else until
that job was done.
"But you wouldn't give me time
to tell you that, COLONEL" said the
contractor, with laugh, and in
wardly resolving never again to visit
Gordon officially before eight o'clock
in the morning.
Yet, if messenger from sick
old woman had knocked at Gordon
door at five O'Clock in the morning,
asking him to come and pray with
her, the Colonel would have been

AFTER THE FIRE.

AfIEk Inc PIKE.
Yesterday the Government Survey,
under direction of the Superinten-
dent, Hon. w. ID. Alexander, began
making a plan of the burnt district.
Fortunately, just before the fire
the bureau had completed survey
of the same territory below King
street.
The smoke from the ruins made
itself unpleasantly felt in the bust
ness quarter yesterday. Men with
fire hose have been drenching the
smouldering debris ever since the
fire.
Workmen are engaged to-day in
pulling down the walls of ruined
brick buildings, which were left in
dangerous state.
Last evening one of the soldiers
guarding the ruins drew his sword
at Chinaman. A British marine
told our reporter, who happened
along at the time, that the Chinaman
had just before plugged" native.
The affair ended without bloodshed.
At the meeting of the Privy Coun-
Gil yesterday, it was resolved to
devote $4,000 from the treasury
for the relief of sufferers by the fire.
OF this amount, $4,000 will be spent
in erecting model frame dwellings
for the natives burned out, who
number $50 persons.
During the fire DR.. Emerson dis
covered the corpse of Chinaman
at a house on King street, near
Maunakea. With the assistance of
Mr.. Manuel Nunes, the doctor re-
covered the body and delivered it
over to Chinese.
Many business stands, vacant for
longer or shorter periods, are being
occupied by merchants burned out
on Sunday. Houses long advertis-
ed in vain for tenants are also being
taken by Chinese who have not lost
all their fortunes with their homes.
Their Excellencies Messrs. Gibson
and Gulick have been appointed by
the Cabinet to take charge of relief
measures. They have intimated a
desire to receive counsel or informa-
ton from citizens.
The Minister of Interior has sent
official letters to Captain Black
burne, of ii. b. MS $. Heroine,
and Captain Abingdon, of ii. b. MS
S. Satellite, thanking them and the
officers and men of their command
for the valuable aid rendered by
them at the fire.
Mr.. +. w. Damon was to be met
everywhere, during the fire. His
knowledge of the Chinese language
rendered his services doubly valua-
BILE in directing the unfortunate
people in the removal of their goods
and otherwise.
During the fire Mr.. Cassidy,
Superintendent of the Bell Tele-
phone Company, was working like a
Trojan saving posts. Some idlers
were descanting upon his folly, but
they only showed their ignorance,
for post with its insulators costs
more 10 replace than many instru-
ments. Mr.. Cassidy never slept
until he had the work of repair far
enough along to do without his I'M
mediate supervision. Both that line
and the Mutual bid fair to have the
gaps on King and Nuuanu streets
circuits closed up before Tomorrow.

Museum, kindly opened her house
