Lincoln in a Hospital.

We never hear anything of Abraham
Lincoln, but what it is always something
good. In recent conversation with ar
old Union soldier be told US the following
fresh story, and he did it like this.
l had been in the Finley Hospital
several months. said the soldier One
day, in May 1868, President Lincoln end
Secretary Chase walked into the ward
where l was lying. You don't know how
much good 1t did us to see them, one gets
so tired looking at the nurse and at all
the loLg rows of cots. 1t is hard to lay
on cot day after day, and hear tine boys
moan, as their life ebbs away. Some
morning you wake up and see an empty
cot near you.
Number 6 is gone" you say to the
nurse.
"Yes, he went at three this morning.
poor fellow! but it's better for him."
she answers, in a sympathizing voice.
We boys, therefore, took solid comfort
in looking at Mr.. Iincoln's face that after
noon, and in hearing him talk. He didn't
say much to me that day, but it was good
to hear him say anything, his words were
SO gentle and kind. And then he was as
thoughtful as mother: he knew Just
what to say.

+ A Vermont boy. mere lad, not over
16, was ON it. He had been wounded
mortally and was near his end. Mr.. Lin
coin stopped at the cot, and taking the
thin, white hand said, in a tone that was
as tender as u mother's:-
my poor boy, what can do for you2"
With beseechlng look, the little fell

kindly face, and asked. Wont you write

was finished, the president rose, saying:
II will mail this as soon as ge. back
to my office. Now is there anything else

In some way the boy had come TO know
that it was the president. And so, look
ing at him in the most appealing sort Of
a way he asked:
"Won'r you stay with me till it's all
over? 1t won't be long, and do want to
hold on to your hand!"
This was too much for the great-heartcd
president to resist. The tears came to bis
ePes. and he sat down by him aad took
hold of his hand. The little fellow did
not move nor speak word. This was
soma time before four o'clock, and it was
long alter six that the end came.
But the presiden: sat there as if he bad
been the boys father. When tho end
came he bent over and folded the thin
hands over the breast, and then looked SO

tears streamed down bis checks uDheeded.

Tenants and Landlords in Ireland.

Right Hon. Arthur ]. Balfour, in North American
Review for July.
come now to the third of Mr.. Parnell's
objections, which is, perhaps, the most
singular of all. He objects, it appears,
to any land-purchase scheme being passed
while Ireland is under coercion; on the
grounds that no tenant can under such
circumstances contract freely with his
landlord as to the terms of sale. In order
to support so startling thesis he is OBJ
liged to misrepresent the provisions of the
Coercion Act, which, he states most er-
roneously, are to render ILLEGAL all COM
blnation on the part Of The tenants; to in
vent imaginary prosecutions of Nation
allst members of parliament, Mr. Cox, Mr..
Patrick O'Br1en and others, for advising
tenants not to give more than certain
amount for their holdings; to ignore the
fact that the clauses in the so.called Coer.
cion Act dealing with criminal conspiracy
are in operation oyer but small part of
Ireland; and that he himself, when, dur
ing MIR. GIadstene's government, all Ire
land Was under coercion, did not consider
that he was on that account precluded
from warmly supporting in parliament
resolution in favor of land-purchase
brought forward by two members of the
present Conservative cabinet. But, in
truth, to any one who knows the condi-
ton of Ireland during the last ten years
there is an absurdity far beyond the
necessity for formal refutation in suppos.
ing that the tenants are at any disadvan,
tage in making bargains with their land |
lords. For every act of injustice, dishon-
esty, harshness, or oppression committed |
during that period by landlord toward |
a tenant, it would be possible to find
hundred committed by tenants towards
their landlord or towards each other.
And if proof were required that, at all
events, the tenants who have most expert
ence and knowledge of the working of |
the purchase acts do not share MIR. Par
nell's view, it may he sufficient to point
cut that in the Protestant parts of Ulster,
where by far the largest relative number
of sales have taken place, where no illegal
exist, and where, therefore,
if these be protection against landlord
exaction, the tenants are specially de-
fenceless, the farmers have no complaint
to make against the bill except that it is
not made compulsory and universal.

an alarm the fire department did moi
respond for nearly ten miDu:es. By this
time the whole building was in flames.
The flames spread with great rapidity to
that part of the building occupied by
Knapp, Burrell & Co, agricultural imple-
ments, north of Stewards. 1t took but a
moment for the whole of the Inflammable
stock to ignite.

the streams, and the fire Knocked the eff

save the stocks out of either of these
places, the flames spreading so rapidly.

KILLED A DOZEN MEN.
GREEEvILLE, s. c., July 1.--Captain
Lewis r. Redmond, once notorious out
law, fatally stabbed James Smith,
wealthy lumberman early Sunday in
Walhalla, quiet town at tue foot of the
Blue Ridge mountains. Redmond, who
was drunk, wGs walking with two
women. When he stepped aside for g
moment, Smith came along and took the
women away. Redmond followed, and
without any warning stabbed Smith in
the region of the heart. Redmond, who
is In Jail, says he does net remember any
thug about the affair.
He is said to have killed at least doz-
en- men, most of them revenue officers and
soldiers. For ten years he has been the
terror of this section. Walhalla was
twice the scene of battle between
United States soldiers and the Redmond
band of outlaws. Most of R-dmond's
men were killed aud he was badly wound
ed. Upon beng tried he was sentenced
70 twenty-five years in prison. He re-
NAMED there several years and was vast
ing away from the effects of old wouads
and consumption. Through the efforts of
Senators Hampton and Butler. he was
pardoned by President Cleveland. Since
his release and return home Redmond
has been engaged in distilling whisky and
selling the use Of his name at the rate of
rs cents for each barrel on which it
was pasted.
