and interested himself largely in mis-

for voting for Bishop Brooks, he was
ordered home to England by the chief

was able to explain that he voted for
Mr.. Brooks for bishop with great re-
luctance and under much pressure,
and that his vote implied no approval
of Bishop Brooks low church views
and practices.
The explanation, if he made it, had,
however, no effect. The order to re-
turn to England was made perempto-
~ and he obeyed it and has since re-
manned in England. Quite likely, af-

that he did not explore, whether it was at the

1wenty-eieht years ago to-day Abraham Lin
coin died by the hand of an assassin. Five days
before, Oh Sunday, April ., the war ended with
the surrender of the armies of Northern Virginia.
That Sunday evening the President returned TO
Washington from City Point, where he had gone
two weeks before Ostensiby his trip one
of recreation and rest from the and anxieies
with which he was overwhelmed, and which, with
the terrible strain of the four years, had worn out
even his rugged strength Apparently it was a
sudden impulse on the part of the President. No
preparations were made beforehand, and nothing
was known at the White House of the intended
trip until few hours before he started.
About noon on March 90 the President sent for
one of the four men detailed as his personal
guard to come to his office. When the man an
swered the summons he found the President seated
at his desk in the centre of the ROOM
Crook, am going to City Point tonight
want you to go with me. Make your preparations
at once, and meet me at the boat"
This was the brief announcement, but the
words were followed by deep sigh, and the man
observed that the Presidents sad face had more
than its usual weary, troubled expression.
At 5 o'clock the River Queen, commanded by
Captain Bradford, left the Seventh-st wharf
for City Point, with the President, Mrs. Lincoln
and maid, Tad Lincoln, Crook and man servant
on board. During the journey down the river
the Presidents depressed, abstracted manner was
very marked, and afterward frequently recalled
by Crook, long since the only survivor Of the
little party. The President seemed weighed down
by burden heavier than the gloom of war and
his daily responsibilities. Now ard then, by
q great effort he would shake off the depression
with some bit of quaint humor in characteristic
anecdote, more readily cn{er into Tad's boyish
