In short, TO establish n small kingnom his
own quite independent of State or United
States sovereignty. The contrast between
him Fernando Wood and Mr.. Lincoln rs /
watched their meeting was very suggestive.
Mr.. Lincoln, tall, gaunt and rugged,
WITH ANGULAR, RoUGH-HEWN FEATURES,
but a kindly expression, unpublished in man
ner and ungracelul in speech, but evidently
sincere aud Genuine Mayor Wood, erect and
agile, with n perfectly smooth face, easy,
graceful manners and fine address, but with
countenance rs devoid of any indication
of his thoughts and rs free from the least
sign Of impulse OF genuineness Of any kind,
smooth and soft, with the undulating gait 0f
an animal of the feline tribe, made a tableau
which ] shall never forget. The interview
lasted only few moments, and simply
added 10 the uncomfortable feeling which
had begun 10 invade our party when we
reached the outskirts Of the city. Nor was
that feeling relieved 10y our progress thence
10 Washington. We began 90 hear first in
New York the rumors OF insult and violence
TO The President, which increased in volume
and directneSs as we approached Philadel-
phia. The aspect OF things at Trenton was
decidedly chilling, and when we arrived in
Philadelphia reports reached the President
Of contemplated violence TO him so specific
and direct that ID was no longer wise TO
neglect them. During the night in Phila-
delphia these reports of plots TO asSassinaie
Mr.. Lincoln as be passed through Baltimore
took official shape, and came 20 him by oili-
cial messengers, under the sign manual Of
Mr.. Seward. No steps, however, were taken
in the matter by Mr. Lincoln, ard the party
went on TO Harrisburg the next day without
apparent excitement or change Of plan.
There, however, the reports from Washing
ton became so positive and the apprehen-
sions OF prominent officials and leading
Union men 50 forcibly urged that after some
discussion il was resolved that M. Lincoln
should return secretly and at once 10 Phila-
delphia and take the night train TO Wash
ingtOn, which would take him through
Baltimore either before or shortly after
daylight next morning. OF course there
was some difference Of opinion amQng
those consulted on The subject lnf whom /
happened TO be one concerning this pro-
cedure, some holding that il was more be-
coming that the President should pursue
his selected route 20 the Capital OF the coun-
try unmoved by clamor or by threats, and
that any other course would lay him liable
10 the suspicion Of lack of courage a most
unfortunate if not fatal reputation 10 be
fixed upon him at such crisis in public
affairs.

pTussic and carbolic acids, cre0s0te, ammonia,
suiphuretcd hydrogen, pyridene, rirldinc, pico-
line and rnbidiHe.
Isn't that enough to make 4 man stop

acids are found in a pure cigar. What then

Easy Divorce the Ruin Of Society.
Inl-lta.l 1

This cry for divorce 70 easy as 20 destoy all
sacredness in marriage is a step backward. 1t
is the disintcgration Of society, the ruin Of the
family, the apothcosis Of the beast, the aunibi-
latiOu OF the citizen. IL the children belonged
10 the State and parentage meant simply pro-
duction, then the free lovers might well have
their innings A child wonld always be the
property Of the State, and marriage would be
an obsolete superstition.
But this kind Of life would be impossible as
things arc. The moral sense Of mankind has
gone far beyond the reproduction Of old Roman
license and medieval profigacy. When the
philosophy Of "Sympneumata aud "The
KTcutzcr Sonata" finds men and women not in
Bedlam ready 10 discuss and accept il as a pos
siblc way out Of difficulties, the theories Of the
free lovers must needs fall 10 the ground.

The President is taking active interest In
the financial condition of the treasury, and
has directed that he be favored with an
estimate OF the probable revenue from
all sources for the the next fiscal year,
based on the changes made by the last
Congress and internal revenue laws. The

apparent through the daily receipts of the
treasury department. The custom re-
ceipts, by statement issued at the treasury

spending period last May. The same ratio
of decrease is reported at other ports.
Internal revenue receipts also show q
decrease, but it is not SO marked.

decrease in receipts, is crawling I'D. the
drain from the direct tax expenditure being
