WHEN LINCOLN DIED.
The Very Same Moment Tiffany's Big
Clock Stopped Short.

Probably not one in thousand of
the multitude who daily look up to
Tiffany's big clock on the front of their
square, New York, and set their pocket
time-pieces to correspond, has any
idea of its interesting history, that it
has marked the various stages of the
progress of this remarkably successful
time of President Lincoln's assassina-
ton, when it's hands stopped at the
very hour of his death.
In talk with Mr.. Tiffany, the we'll
preserved octogenar1an and active
head of the great jewelry house, the
writer learned that the clock was con-
structed for the firm long before the
war, in fact, nearly forty years ago,
when the firm was yet in the infancy
of it's business career, and made their
first bold move uptown from 271 to 800
Broadway. 1t was when the building
which still stands, was erected on that
site that the famous clock, so closely
associated with the Tiffany fortunes,
was first put up.
The clock is mounted on a wooden
figure of herculean proportions, repre-
senting Atlas upholding the world up
on his shoulders; it was carved for
them by well-known firm of Ameri-
can ship builders, who at the time be-
came renowned for their superior mod
cling of figures and fgure-heads, such
as were used in ornamenting the bows
of vessels. The figure itself stands
nearly nine feet high, while the circu-
lar space behind the dial of the clock,
above the figure, is almost large enough
| for the man who cleans the dial to
stand up erect inside. 1t was while at
$50 Broadway that, by strange CO.
incidence, it recorded one of the sad
dest events in the history of the coun-
try; for, without warning, and with
out any apparent cause, the hands
stopped at the hour of President Lin
coins death, at 1922 on the morning of
April Is, 1865.
After the firm became settled in
their handsome new building on Union
square. over twenty years ago, the
clock was mounted in its present posi-
ton, where it continues to mark the
time of day, after forty years OF SER
vice, almost as accurately as the chro-
nometers in the watch department, on
the ground floor.
The clock stands on the second floor
of the building, fitted into the center
window on the outside. The works
were made in Tiffany & Co.'s own
clock shop, and are not behind the
dial, as supposed, but in a glass case
on the floor above, and are so con-
structed that several clocks can be run
in different parts of the building, all
by this same movement. Altogether
it is unique piece of mechanism, with
history as interesting as the famous
firm whose building it adorns.

forehead, and he topp1ed off his horse
corpse. His premonition of sudden
death had come tragically true, and
all that day l was depressed with the
thought that l might possibly have
saved that mans life.
"The next morning before he was
buried in the long trench, l took from
his pocket daguerreotype of his wife,
his two children, son and daughter,
and afterward sent it to his wife. 1t
would be cruel to give that mans
name, but his daughter, now dead,
became the wife of congressman,
and was belle in her day. The son
is a talented lawyer in the west, and,
singularly enough, has had his affair
of honor, and at fifteen PAGES wounded
his man, but not seriously. Yes, sir,
there are some men who will fight in q
crowd, and then there are men who
won't.
"Quite contrary case to this" con-
tinued the general, "was one which I
heard General Braxton Bragg tell the
last time saw him here in New York
year or two before he dropped dead
on the street in Galveston Texas. He
said that the thing happened in the
Mexican war, and, if I recollect Alright,
in the battle of Buena Vista. The
soldier he referred to was Georgian,
and General Bragg said that personally
he was the most abject coward he had
ever known. He said that only few
days before the battle he saw another
soldier slap this fellows face and the
blow was not resented.
"B9t that same man, that personal
coward, said General Bragg, 'immor-
talized himself on the historic field
of Buena Vista. The color bearer OF
my regiment was shot down, and to
my surprise, having witnessed the
face slapping of day or two before, ]
saw this man, who did not have the
grit to defend himself, rush forward,
snatch up the colors, and, dashing to
the front, call on the men to follow
him.
"And that same man was promoted
for bravery on the battlefield"

RUNNING GIRLS.
Some Observations That Apply Partiou-
larly to Haidens of Washington State.

It used to be said that there were
two things which a woman could not
do; one was to run, the other to throw
q stone. Up to the last century she
had not learned to do the latter feat,
but at the former she was an adept,
SAYS the Seattle Telegraph. Those
who doubt may be convinced if some
wet morning they will take street
car and observe the young ladies come
down the cross streets just second or
two later than they intended to be. On
these occasions they will be tolerably
sure to see some of the prettiest sprint
ing imaginable-straight, clean step
ping, with head we'll up, shoulders
well back, and never trace OF wad-
die.
The observer feels that the fair
creature is dressed in shoes and gar
ments that do not pinch, and when she
takes her seat in the car, breathing as
| gently as a baby, he is apt, If his years
number couple of score or more, to
sigh inwardly for the time when he
could run block or dozen of them
and have breath enough left to keep
him from gasping. The last genera
ton of girls could not run. They
were told it was hoydenish and tom
boyish and everything else to do so.
They were forbidden by all the canons
of good behavior and propriety to &c
faster than a walk, like team cross
ing country bridge. If by any mis-
chance it became absolutely necessary
for them to run the way they went al
it was calculated to make a man weep
They wriggled, they waddled, they
stepped on the side of their feet, they
held their heads down to hide theil
bushes, and they puffed like porpoises
when they had gone half dozer
yards.
There were a few exceptions, o1
course, but now the exceptions are
the other way. Croquet was the tirs1
step toward emancipation and tenni:
was the consummation of it. Feni
more Cooper tells us in his charming
way of the grace and beauty OF mo
ton exhibited by the fieet-footed Ind
ian girl. Mayne Reid paints vlvic

aborigines of northern Mexico as they

steps, but it would be safe backing 1
