Wanted to Capture Lincoln.

Gen. Bradley L. johnson said re-
Gently to George Alfred Townsend:
u undertook to capture Lincoln at
one time. During the war | had my
spies all through Maryland, who knew
what was going on generally. After
our great cavalry fight at Trevelyan
Station, which | suppose was the big
gest cavalry fight ever made on this
continent, Sheridan you remembe

petition TO join Grant, being intercept

was long, strong contest, one of the
concluding important fights of the war.
Having very little left there, | eaid to
Gen. Hampton that | wanted to go
across to Maryland and capture Presi-
dent Lincoln. | knew his habit of 60
ing out to the Soldiers Home near
Washington in the evening with little
or no escort and staying there all
night and coming in in the morning
duringthe summer time. My notion
was to cross the river at Smiths Fer
~. which is not far from the battle
field of Balls Bluff The ferry there
was defended by what we called the
California Regiment, though it was
New York regiment | hardly know
now why we called it so. knew all
about it, and meant to fight and beat
them and to march right on that night
to the Soldiers Home and take Lin
coin and come right back and bring
him into Virginia. Wade Hampton
ate, while gave his consent. But
Ear,y's expedition against Washington
doubled back on me and had to re-
turn to Virginia. Had Lincoln been
captured in that way bv regular troops
It would have been a very different
thing from his fate at the hands of
irregulars"

Holding Up Lincoln.

:, the latter part of 1862 the One
urndred and Fifty-seveuth Peunsyl-
ia Volunteers were stationed at
Washington preparatory to moving
,,yard Richmond. For some un-
I,royu reason their salaries had been
fslayed for two months. and the boys
tonnd themselves strapped pretty
closely for money.

an ounce of tobacco. From every body

swsr: Haven't an ounce. Money all
went month ago"
The poor fellow endured the agony
for while, but finally. becoming des-
nsrate. he got leave of absence from
camp one morning and started off up
g street in the direction of the White
House. Arriving there he stopped for
a while looking over the fence into
the grounds surrounding the executive
mansion. aud presently caught sight of
the President walking along the path

Iright idea struck him. Mastering up
ii, courage he stalked into the garden,
and presently neared the President
Good morning, Mr.. President, he
ssid, touching his cap.
Good morning, my man, replied

The soldier hesitated for while,
hut noticing the Presidents kindly
look finally said;
The fact of the matter is Mr.. Pfesi-
dent. we haven't had any money for
two months now, and every one of us
is dead broke; and I'm almost dead
for chew of tobacco"
A smile lit up the face of the great
war President as he received this in
formation. and then his hand went
down into his pocket. Drawing forth
a silver dollar, he handed it to the
"brokeu" volunteer and said:
1T shan't be said that one of my SOL
diers died for the want of some tobac-

that. Buy some tobacco with this, and

and passed quickly out of the grounds.

BISHOP STANLEY TALKS
AT the Opening of the st. Peter
CIaVer Fair.

AT the Opening of the st. Peter
CIaver Fair.
The bazaar for the benefit of st. Peter
Claver's church opened last night in
Market hall under very favorable au-
spices. The turnout of people filled the
hall to listen to the opening address of
Bishop Stanley. The bishop has a host
of admlring friends in this city, and
when he comes from his Dakota home
to deliver public address in this CITY
he is sure of large audience, as was
the case last night. His address was on
the past and the progress of the colored
race, and was we'll received. Prior to
the address of Bishop Stanley, Father
Casey made speech in which he gave
sketch OF the first Catholic church in
st. Paul.
Market hall is handsomely decorated.
and has number of very pretty and at
tractive booths where candies, Lemonade
and lunch are displayed to tempt the an
petite of the visitors. One of the pretti-.
est of booths is one with large Japan
csc shad trimmed with oriental hang
ings. Here fancy china is displayed.
AT other booths there are pretty colIec-
tons OF art work, etc. A number of
handsome and valuable prizes are being
competed for. The bazaar will last ali
week.

SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.
The Cornered and Anxious
Republican Senator Re-
fuses to Talk.
Mr.. Davis Evinees q Deter
mination to Think Plenty
Before Speaking.
His Return to the Senate a
Menace to Future Party
Success.
Blunders Of Election j Judges
Interfere With the Work
Of Canvassing.

1t is evident that no man feels more
keenly the critical situation OF the Re-
publican party of Minnesota at tins mo-
ment than Senator c. K. Davis. He
feels it so keenly that lie will not take
the responsibility of uttering word at
present. Yesterday afternoon he was
asked bp a representative of the GLOBE
the following question::
What policy should the Republicans
of Minnesota now adopt upon the tariff
question? Should they continue to adj
vocate the Mckinley bill policy, OF go
back to tariff reform principles"
''Both the Minneapolis Tribune and
Pioneer Press have solicited interviews
from me upon that subject, and have
declined to say anything. L should be
as willing to accord the GLOBE an in
terview as any paper, but l have moth
ing to say"
This utterance of the senator is most
significant. When one who is looked
up to as a great leader dare not speak,
the party must be in desperate situa-
ton.
The Republican party of Minnesota is
standing between two tireS-On the one
hand the farmers of the state who de-
mand tariff reform, and OH the other the
powerful Eastern contingent OF the
party, which exists for the protection of
monOpolies and trusts. Worse than
that the party is in the dilemma that If
it goes back on the platform on which
Knute Nelson was elected its incOnsist-
ency will place upon il the brand of
cowardice, and also make it appear be-
yond question that the party has no
policy except such az will secure for it
the offices and retention Of power.
Senator Davis may be sent back to the
senate, but if he is it will mean the de
feat of the party i'll the next guberna-
toral contest. And this is just the way
many Republicans look at the matter
The rank and file.of the party are starry
ing at this moment for one word from
leader like DAVIS as to what the policy
of the party should be i'll the future.
They are not likely to get this word;
and while they are waiting for it many
will HE themselves to shelter in the
Democratic fold, where the shining
principle is, Equal Rights to ALL"

the darked-skinned daughter of Ham

the court saw fit to dismiss the case,
and the girl went forth scott free. The

he asserted that he had clear case.

thought differently.
