Lieut.. JamIsOn's "reminiscences OF
LIncOln's Assassination.

LIEUT. SAMlASVu'h "Reminiscences VI
LlncOln's Assassination.
The "Union Light Guard" was
composed Of men selected by Gov.
Todd of Ohio to act as body guard
to President Lincoln after the
confederate cause was considered
hopeless, and there were rumors
aAoat that there would be an at
tempt upon the Presidents life.
1t was composed of picked men,
one from each county Of the state
of Ohio. At the time of its organ
ization was aid to the governor
of Ohio, to which post I had been
appointed in recognition Of my
services at Shiloh. The body was
a mounted one. We had scarcely
reached Washington when the
captain and first lieutenant were
court-martialed and dismiss q d
from the service and l succeeded
to the command and continued
there until the body was disband-
ed.
My first orders upon reaching
Washington came from Secretary
of War Stanton and were to escort
President Lincoln from the White
House to his country home on the
Potomac. With my command /
proceeded to the White House and
announced my errand to the pres
ident. He objected most emphat-
ically to having an armed escort,
insisting that there was no danger;
that he didn't need nor wouldn't
have body guard. In fact he
positively declined to leave the
White House under escort. AS
he was President and 1 but lieu
tenant I did not feel justified in
carrying him off bodily, so 1 said
to him that to neglect to carry out
orders was a serious matter to an
army officer, and asked him for
some piece of writing to show that
my orders had been countermand-
ed by the President himself, so he
picked up a piece of paper about
two inches square and wrote upon
it:
"I decline to accept the escort
of a body guard. A. Lincoln"
1 then ordered my command
back to barracks and awaited de-
velopments. They were not long
in coming. Inside of an hour a
messenger came post haste with
orders that 1 appear before the
secretary of war. When 1 reached
his Office Stanton swung around in
his chair and demanded in his fierc-
est manner why / had failed to
obey orders by not escorting the
President to his home on the Po-
tomac. 1 responded that the Pres
ident himself had countermanded
the order, at the same time pre-
senting him with the slip of paper
Stanton glanced at it, tore 1t into
bits, wadded them up and threw
them into my face. Then he ex-
claimed:
"Sir, take your command and
do as you were ordered. Escort
the president whether he likes il
or not, and neglect to do SO at your
peril"
Again I took my command to
the White House and explained
my instructions to the President.
With evident reluctance he ac-
cepted my escort and the trip to
the country was made. From that
time to within two weeks of his
assassination the light guard con-
tinued as the Presidents body
guard.
About two weeks prior to his
assassination, the light guard, at
his earnest request, was relieved
from escort duty and used as
mounted orderlies.
On the night Of Lincoln's assas-
sination, ! was, with ten of my

A Good Point.

Some years ago in a very rural
district a farmer had COW for
sale. Now, as there was no week
ly paper to advertise it, it was the
custom of the vicar to give such
notices out to his congregation on
Sundays. So the farmer thought
he would go to the vicar and get
him to advertise the cow-in church.
Eyes" said the vicar, but you don't
come to my church"
And they struck the bargain
that the vicar should advertise the
COW, and the man in return should
go to church. Now, unfortunately
the man was very deaf, and on the
Sunday following, when the vicar
gave out the banns of marriage
between Joseph So-and-So and
Mary So-and-So-a rather unus-
usl incident, for they seldom had
a wedding g-the farmer took it for
granted that the vicar was talking
about the COW, and shouted out:
"You might as well say while
you are about it, that she is a most
gentle creature, entirely free from
vice, and a great eater"

The ringing of the curfew bell
is to be revived in the cities and
towns of Canada. Under the pro-
visions Of the new law, or rather
of the ancient law revived, all per-
sons under the age of II years are
expected to make for home at the
first tap of the bell. The idea is
to force children off the streets
nights and to keep them within
the benign influence Of the family
circle, rather than to allow them
to learn deviltry in the company
of evil associates. The law is uni
versally applauded in Canada and
the brightest hopes are entertain
ed of its beneficial effects on the
young.

Madame Gabriela de Ma

cattle and attached herself TO the
troops of Yuca Tigre, whose adju-
tant she became. She accompanied
the half-wild leader on all his
expeditions, clad in uniform
which was a strange combination
Of women's and meu's attire.
Across her shoulders she carried a
a band on which were the words:
"Long live liberty Long live Rio

courage, rs we'll as kindness, are
told of this unusual woman, who
believes that she is a second Joan

Spraying Orch ards.

Profit in spraying orchards and vine yards" Is the title of bulletin 49, re- gently issued by the Ohio experiment station. Wooster Instead of the usual record of experiments made by the station, this bulletin gives in form available for all growers of fruit full instructions regarding the making and applying of insecticides and fungicides. The directions and cautions are so clear and simple that the veriest no- vice in fruit growing who follows them cannot fail to use spraying mixtures safely and successfully.
 Certain mixtures are used to destroy injurious insects; others are used as preventives or remedies of fungous diseases. In this bulletin, special prominence is given to the treatment of some of the most Instructive flung ous diseases and most troublesome in sects affecting fruit-trees, in one ope- ratioa, Dy the use of combined mix lures. The fol owing reasons are as- signed for using arsenites London pur- pie ard Paris green} i'll combination with the Bordeaux mixture:
 Where both are required, time IS saved by using them in combination.
 The Bordeaux mixture prevents the arsenite doing harm to the foliage.
 Either is quite as efficient in comDi- nation as alone, and in some cases more so.
 It is not always known whether one or both are needed; hence. as pre- caution it is better to use both i'll con- bination.
 Prof. Green conservatively estimates that the profit to be derived from spray ing orchards often exceeds twenty dol lars per acre, and vineyards much more; and that the fruit crop of Ohio would be enhanced in value by several million dollars annually if the practice were generally followed.
