LlNCOLN AND DAVIS.

Think that no man living had the infu.

went to Washin zton at that time, having
been promised the Consuship at Paris by
Mr.. Lincoln. But as soon as we realized
the state Of political affairs Davis,
seconded by Lincoln himself, persuaded
me to remain near the Presidents person
to protect him against danger. was con
sequently made Marshal Of the District Of
Columbia. During all my close acquaint-
auce with the two men never knew them
TO have q quarrel. The only point on
which ever knew them to dilFer was over
Linc5ln's rgs-hearted-but, in Davis
opinion, sometimes misgI.dei-toleration
and charity.
Iremember one occasion on which Davis
brought this out IN an am Ising manner.
Lincoln had appointed to an Office a man
who was his political enemy. ami who had
done him a positive iL.uy. To Davis
remonstrauce, Line In. with his never
failing large hear.e iuess, responded:
ayes, know be is my enemy, but you
know never can think II these things"
Lincoln" sli Dty.s. "vOu never viii

Davis, himself, Was far from being a
malignant man, JIs lie Us like other
men. Lincoln was in this .ssps,t, aim ost
collke. l rem "a. er a. another time,
when Davis was agtin making the same
complaint, Lincoln said:
DAVIS, l had = appoint that man. He
was personal enemy of mine"
Davis was the seeonl man appointed by
Lincoln 10 the bench Of the Supreme Court

Office. 10 not think thai he ever aspired

A Dogs Unexpected Free Lunch.

A citizen Of this county was riding
along when his dog ran a small squirrel
up sapling. The dog was well developed

so frightened the squirrel that it leapca
from the sap.ing and shot head-foremoat
into his mouth iust as he opened it 70 bark.
The squirrel disappeared Ike fash in o
the in erior department of the dog. The
dog seemed s,upefe by the sudden shock
and began turning round and roun as il
crazy. 1t was evident that the free lunch
did not set well On the dogs in

squirrel was heaved up. Tho little an nal,
without a moments pau-e, darted for fne
sapl.ng and was on sea cl on its top

be induced to bark at a sIairrel up a tree.

THE CoNFEDERATE BONDS.
Mr.. Daniel Outspoken on the Alb
surdity of Fullerton's Claim.

From tho Washington Post.
"The proposition brought forward for
the holders OF Confederate bonds by Judge
Fullerton that this government is bound
or ought to pay those bonds" said
Representative Daniel, of Virginia, To
Post reporter yesterday, sis as palpable
and as eccentric an absurdity as the
frivolous wit Of man can invent. In the
first place, the amendment 10 the Federal
constitution forbds it, and that alone
disposes of the question. In the second
place, the United States Supreme
Court has decided that Confederate secu-
rites never mad legal constitutional
existence, and that settles them. In the
third place, the theory OF the war was
that the Confederate States had no legal
existence. The Victors in the war would
as soon think Ofreviving the COnfederacy
AS Of paying its debts, ana the men who
were COnlederates are as little disposed
as their former foes to pay them. In the
fourth place, there Is no law, no equity,
no principle Of honor, and no reason OF
eX9ediency TO suggest that the United
states or that ANYBODY should pay the
Confederate debt"
"Was it generally understood that the
validity OF tue debt depended on the va
lidity Of the government that assumed TO

A WARNING TO WASHERS.
The Fate ozone Who InsuIted the
Wife ola Theatrical Man.

From the Chicago Mali.
One of those little domestic episodes
that serve as excellent warnings TO men
more adventurous than discreet and more
cowardly than either occurred at the
Palmer House Monday morning. Mr..
John RObb, the business manager of Gus
Williams company, now playing at the
Columbia, and his wife, have been stop
ping at the hotel since the company
reached town. Mrs. RObb is of PROPOSES
sing appearance. She was passing out of
the hotel by the Monroe street entrance
Monday morning, and on being Obsequi-
ously bowed to by strange man, fash
ionably attired, returned the salutatiOn,
thinking it might possibly be an acquaint-
ance whom she did not at the moment re-
cOgnize. She was passing on, when the
stranger placed himself directly in front
of her and delivered himself OF an insult
ing remark. Mrs. RObb turned aside in
dignantly,and the stranger left the hotel at
a rapid gait. A bystander who witnessed
the affair informed Mr.. Robb of the mat
ter, and the angry husband left the hotel
on run in pursuit OF his enemy, whom he
overlook at the corner Of Wabash avenue
and Monroe street. Mr.. Robb is small
but wiry, while his antagonist, it is said,
lowered above him. The irate pursuer
seized his victim firmly by the coat collar
and Yelled:
"YOu rascall you insulted my wife, and
if YOU don't get down on your knees and
beg her pardon Phi kill you" At the
same time he flOurished an aggressive
looking pocket knife in uncomfortable
proximity to the masher's face. The lat
ter capitulated on demand, and pale, but
reserved, marched back TO the hotel with
his captOr, who escorted him TO Mrs.
RObb's room, where he knelt and humbly
begged forgiveness. This done Mr.. RObb
allowed him to depart, first, however. it
is said, slapping his face by way OF fare
well. The elegantly-attirod stranger there
upon left with more speed than dignity,
but succeeded in concealing his identity,

BEN FEANKLIN,s GHOST.
Strange Sights and Sounds Fur
nishcd by a Cemetery.
From The Morning Journal.

From The Morning Journal.
PHILADELPHIA June 5.-Strange stories
have been sfoat of late regarding mys-
terious sounds and wierd sights in the
old Christ Church burying grounds, at
Fifth and Arch streets, and though the
police are inclined to attribute the COM
motion which nightly takes place within
the high brick Enclosure TO rats and cats
which make it their retreat, there are
many who declare that there is something
supernatural about it.
Remington Wray,a dealer in knit goods
who resides at No. LAOS oxford street,
states that while passing along Arch street
about O'Clock one morning not long ago
he was startled by the violent ringing of a
bell, the sound Of which seemed to come
from about the centre of the churchyafd.
lie peered through the iron bars of the
gate and declares that be saw a tall
white figure with arms extended perched
on one Of the tombstOnes and pulling at
what appeared to be an imaginary rope.
Inc form, at first clear in outline,
gradually grew haZy and indistinct, and
then disappeared altogether, only to reap
pear in another part OF the cemetery and
reDeat the same operation.
While looking MIR. Wrav was Joined by
two or three belated pedestrians and all
saw NV aquarium.
Another gentleman, who lives at the
Girard House and who occupies an office
in the rear OF Fourth street building
which overlooks the graveyard, states
that frequently while detained late into
the night he mas heard the most entranc-
ing music floating up from the resting
place of the dead below. He has also
heard the ringing of bells and had seen
ghostly figures.
A particularly interesting feature, he
said. was the fact that on some dark
nights he mad seen an electrical display
over the spot where the remains of Ben
Jamin Franklin lie. 1t was of a most ex-
traordinary brilliant character.
Tie did not pretend to account for the
phenomena. He had seen and heard these
things and he knew that there was good
deal OF talk about the graveyard being
haunted. He was satisfied that no rats,
cats or any other animals cOuld produce
the effects which he had witnessed.
