 LONDON, March 5-Young Abraham Lincoln died at 11:06 this morning. Ho passed away quietly. He was in a comatose state this morning, and his stomach rejected all nourishment Tho attending physicians, after careful examination, expressed the opinion that their patients end was only matter of few hours. For time previous to his death he was entirely free from pain. All the members of MigssSS..ssr ....Soln's s family were present at tsahe bedside.
 The body will be preserved with out embalming. A funeral service will be held at the residence of Min ister Lincoln on Friday, at which no one will be present but intimate friends and members of the American Lega- tion. After the services the body will be deposited in the catacombs at Kensal Green, and ultimately inferred in the family tomb at Springfield. Illinois. Mir. Lincoln is desirous that the greatest privacy and simplicity in conducting the funeral shall be observed. Both Mir. and Mrs. Lincoln are bearing up bravely.
 Speaking of the deceased, the prin- cipal of the school he attended in Chi cago says of him:
 He was tho best student in my school; l; study came easy to him. He was the first boy in the school to go through his lessons !; then he was ready to help the others. The result was that he was popular. His school mates lodDcd up to him, besides liking him. Jack was a grave boy, de- libcrato in his speech and actions. He had much of the Lincoln blood in his veins. He always signed his name A. Lincoln. He never spelled out tho first name. l re- member tfe first tlme I ever saw his sig nature. I was greatly struck with it's re- semblanee to that Of his grandfather. ex- amined larger sample of his hand writ Ing, and saw that the resemblance in writ ing was not confined to the signature. wont in to his writing teacher and told her not to spoil that boys fist" by making him conform to q copy plate, but to let it alone.
 He was up in athletics, and used to lead the boys in the play ground. have an idea he was called "Jack,' because there was a sort of reverent feeling in the family for the name Abraham, which would not have suited familiar intercourse with tine boy of the house, and which also would not have per. mitted the use of Abe"
 William c. Beall, member of Minis ter Lincoln's law Arm, says of him:
 Without being what Is ordinarily called . precocious boy. particularly in an offensive sense, he was unusually well developed for his age He is only seventeen. Yet when saw him last just before the family left for England, he was large. strong fellow, with good muscles. He was farther advanced in his studies, too, than most boys of his age He was naturally studious, and his charac- ter mature. He was the manifest boy, l think I may say without exception, ever Mir. and Mrs. Lincoln. all the family, in fact, and intimate friends called him that. How it started don't know but it got fastened to him permanently. Of course his right name is simply Abraham"
 Young Abraham was an only son, and the youngest representative of the Lin coin family. It is probable that his death means that with this generation the name of Lincoln, so far as it belongs to lineal descendants of the martyr President will become extinct The namesake of his illustrious grand father, he was said to resemble him much in character, temperament and promise.l
