STAINED BY LlNCOLN'S BLOOD.
Valuable Piece Of Silk in San Franz
cisco Woman's Possession.

cisco Woman'S Possession.
Mrs. Joseph w. De Lano, of this
city, is the possessor of q valuable
piece OF m ORE silk, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. It's value does not
depend upon its size or the fact that
it is lowered white MORE, but upon
three Or four dark stains which it
bears.
Miss Laura Keene once wore dress
out OF which this piece of silk was
cut. She was playing at Ford's
theater the part of Florence Tren-
chard in "Our American Cousin" on
the night of April IA, 1865. The
great scene between Asa Trencha ard,
played by Harry Hawkes., and Flor
ence was just over, when shot rang
through the house, and almost i'm
rnediate!y afterward a man was seen
70 leap from the box occupied bv
Abraham Lincoln, Mrs Lincoln and
Two friends. In the confusion which
Immediately followed the assassina-
ton Miss keene ran round the stage
and up to the box, wearing the dress
sh7 had on as Florence. Just prior
TO the removal of President Lincoln
MS head rested q moment on Miss
X eene's lap, and it was then that the
blood fell on the dress.
Miss Keene cut the stained portions
ont OF the dress, and on April IT,
three days after the shooting and
20 days after Lincoln died, gave
Asz. De Lano the piece she now has.

PLEASED WITH THE oUlLLoTlNE.

TonouInese Regard the French Ma
chine as a Means to an Easy
Death.
The guillotine has recently been in
troduced by the French into their
colony of Tonquin, says the London
Globe. Our neighbours, as all the
world is aware, have had, and still
have, plenty OF work to do in the way
OF exterminating piracy in that vast
and asyet unremunerative possession.
And the method by which they en-
deavor to exterminate the pirate
when they catch him, which, as a
rule, they do not-is tina, OF decapita-
ton. That ceremony has, hitherto,
been performed in the primitive and
rather barbarous native way.
The culprit, being placed in con-
venient position, used to light a
cigarette and wait for the executloner
to take shot at his neck with big
sword Sometimes the headsman
aimed straight and sometimes he did
not, and a feeling has long existed
among gentlemen OF the pratt
cal profession that an execution
thus executed was distinctly an
unpleasant process for the patient.
Consequently the introduction of the
wood of justice" has by no means
produced the effect which the French
authorities desired and expected. In
stead of being impressed with the
horror OF this mode of execu lion, the
natives of Tonquin are said to be
highly delighted with it. In fact, they
regard the guillotine as q most in
genious article de Paris, and they
have already witnessed one execution
with every demonstration of enthu-
siasm.
Dying, they say, is made so delight
fully, easy by this admirable inven-
ton OF the superior European intelli-
gence. The result is that consider
able satisfaction is expressed in pira-
1ical circles, and it is confidently an
ticipated that piracy will shortly in
crease very considerably, as nobody
in Tonquin would mind getting alb
brevlated instantaneously by the
guilotine. Death, in short, has lost
most OF its terror, because the pro-
cess OF dying has been rendered so
simple.
