LincOin'S Last Laugh.

On the night OF the 18th of April,
1868, Mr.. Lincoln. accompanied by his
wife. Miss Harris and Major Rathbone,
Of Albany, \. Y, was occupying box
at Ford'S Theatre. in the city of Wash
ington. The play was Our American
Cousin" with Sothcrn in the principal
role. Mr.. Lincoln was enjoying it
greatly. Lee had surrendered on the
9th: on the 18th tie war was every
where regarded as ended, aud upon
that day Secretary Stanton had tele-
graphed TO General Dix, Governor of
New York. requesting him to stop the
draft Sothern as Lord Dundreary
was at his best. Lincoln was delight
ed. The lines which care and RESPONSE
bility had so deeply craven on his brow
were now scarcel- visible. Before
leaving for the theatre lie had pro-
nounced it the happicst day Of his life.
He looked indeed, as if he now fully
realized the c0nSummation of the long
cherished and fondest aspiration Of his
heart. He was AT length the undis-
pUted Chief Magistrate of Il confedcra-
ton OF states, constituting the freest
and most powerful commonwealth of
modern times.
At some period of the performance
Sothern appeared on the stage with
Miss Meridith, the heroine. on one arm
and a wrap or shawl careiessly thrown
over the other. The latter seats her
self upon a garden lounge placed on
the stage near the box occupied by the
President on this occasion. Lord Dun

claims: ''Me lord, will you kindly
throw my shawl over my shoulders
there appears to be draught here?"
Sothern, at once complying with her
request, advanced with the mincing
step that immortalized him. and with a
merry twinkle of the eye and a signif-
cant glance directed al Mr.. Lincoln. re-
spondcd in the happy impromtu: You
are mistaken, Miss Mary, the draft has
already been stopped by order of the
President.n This sally caused Mr..
Lincoln to laugh, as few except him
self could laugh, and an outburst of
merriment resounded from all parts of
the house. 1t was Mr.. Lincoln's last

TEACHING THE CREW A LESSON
recent cruise of the United States man
OF war Michigan a sailor, who is a chi
cago man, attempted to throw an ex
hausted quld Of tobacco over the rail
into the water. His aim was bad and
tie quid fell on the deck. An officer OBJ
served it. lie would not allow the sailor
to touch it, but ordered the entire crew
to rig up gun tackle. The gun tackle
is a hawser three and half inches thick
and weighs $500 pounds. Being sell
dom if ever used, it was slowed away in
the hold and covered uD. To get it on
deck and rig it up is long, hard task.
But the gun tackle was rugged up, and
the commanding officer attached to it a
silk thread, lassoed the quid of tobacco
made it fast, all hands gave a long pull
and a strong pull, and the quid of tobac.
co was hoisted overheard. Tho gun
tackle was taken down and slowed away
in the hold. 1t required eleven hours Of
hard work to get the tobacco overheard,
and it is the opinion Of the commanding
officer that 10 more quids of tobacco
will be thrown on the deck OF the Mich
igan for some time to come.-Milwaukee
