OLD ABE'S GOLD DOLLAR.
A Touching Story illustrating Lincoln'l

A Touching Story illustrating Lincoln's
Innate GeneI osity.
II was once the sole owner of a 81 gold
piece which if | had it now l would not
exchange for $500 of any mans money"
said Emery Willets. 1T was not the in
trinsic or eXtrinsic value of the coin tina I
priced, but rather because of it's associa-
lions and the manner in which | came by
it. At the opening of the war Iloined the
Nineteenth Indiana Infantry, commanded
by Colonel Meredith, of BriggsViIle, Va.
Colonel Meredith invited President and
Mrs. Lincoln to visit the command. On
that day we were all drawn up on dress
parade, the President, Mrs. Lincoln and
the Colonel reviewing on horseback. Tlen
/ first saw old Abe. The mex time l saw
the President l was lying in the Seward
Hospital at Washington.
II had just finished writing a letter
when q commotion set in at the further
end of the hall. A tall, gaunt figure, with
traces of extreme sorrow OR every feature,
slowly wended his way down the ward
amid that labyrinth OF cotS-it was Lin
coin. He stopped at many sick beds, and
finally at mine. He sat down and said
Il see you have been writing a letter (the
portfolio was OPEN; have you stationery
and stamps SUFFICIENT to write to the folks
at home ?" | told him [ had paper and
envelopes, and hat as for stamps Congress
had passed Il law making it possible to
have letters sent and the postage collected

way, and as though he only knew that the
boys were in trouble and it was incumbent
upon him in some way to relieve their dis
tress if possible, he bshed out somec change:
Tossing a gold dollar to the bed, he said
Use that for stamps only l treasured

BLUFFS DON'T 60 HERE.
From the Ns,cark Eyenino Mems.

Because THE JERSEY CITY NEWS called
Senator DAILY of Hudson County a linked
ale lawyer" Corporation Counsel Ed
wards, one of the owners of that paper,
has been indicted for criminal libel. Mr..
DAILY complains that THE NEWS habitually
holds him up to r,dicule and Injuries his
business and reputation. 1t will be inter
esting to watch the outcome of the libel
prosecution. In this city not many years
ago a young lawyer strove without much
success to punish for SANDER aqclient who
had applied a contemptuous compound
adjective of another kind to designate his
standing and ability in the profession.
Mr.. Edwards is not as easily blutfed, as
many Hudson County. politicians have
discovered, and with evidence concerning
some of Senator Daly's performances as a
statesman and some of his peculiarly in
genious pleas as counsel, notably his re-
cent attack upon the indictments Of the
Hoboken policy writers and hackers, he
may have the hardihood to try to justify
even the epithet of which the Senator
complains.

ALBEIT is CONTENTED.
FROM the state Gazette.

Several of the Democratic newspapers
have limited that B. f. Lee, Clerk of the
Supreme Court, may be a candidate for
Governor, but this dignitary denies that
he has any desire to succeed Governor
Werts. He thinks that the responsibility
of being Governor is more than he would
care to assume at this period OF life.
Governor Albeit is quoted as having
said to all intimate friend that he is well
satisfied with his present position on the
supreme Court bench, and that it would
take many good inducements to get him
to again take upon himself the trouble
and care of the chief executive. The
Monmouth Inquirer in a quiet way has
started a boom for General E. Burd Grub
for Governor.

HOME FOR JAMES SMITH, JR.
The Senator May Take Judge Batch
forlss House.

CAh
Special to The Jersey CttV Nets.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 10, 1S93.-The
death of Justice Blatchford Of the United
States Supreme Court, has an interest
for the people of New Jersey in a way
that it is not generally known. 1t is pos
sible that the nome OF the dead justice in
this city will become the residence Of
Senator Smith.
For some time past the Senator has
been trying to make arrangements for
his winter home here. AT present he Is
pleasantly domiciled in the Hotel Nor
mandie, bnt as that establishment is to
closet. he has had to look out for head
quarters elsewhere. Having six years
to serve in the Senate he is perfectly
willing to buy a house IL he can
find Que that will suit him. He
has already looked at quite a number,
but seems most favorab.y impressed
with the handsome three-story mouse at
the southeast corner OF Fifteenth and K
streets, which Justice Blatchford owned.
L he house is almost new, and is very
commodious. 1t nearly at joins the home
OF Secretary Carlisle. ana is not far from
the elegant residence of Senator Nc
Pherson on Vermont venue 1t is only
one square from the site of the Nor
mandle, overlooks the beautiful Nc
Pherson Square, and is convenient to the
departments aud the hearS of the city.
As far as can be learned no definite ar
rangemepts have been made by the New
Jersey delegation regarding their Wash
tngtou homes. 1t had been pretty we'll
agreed that most of them would winter
at the Normandie. maKing a pleasant
New Jersey colony there, but the closing
of that hotel will make this programmes
an impossibility. Congressman Cadmus
always stops at the Arlington, aud
last year Congressman Geissenhainer was
also domiciied there. Representative
English was at the Enbttt aud Rspresen-
tative Dunn has registered at the Riggs
when in Washington. Whether these
gentlemen will stand by their old favor
ties or will seek homes 10 other places is
of course Il question that the assembling
of CnnpresS Will decide.

Two Gubernatorial Booms.

Today, we have a variation of the
Little boo m. The New York Times
out with the announcement that
he is beginning to make new pre-
dictions based on the fact that a re-
construction of the Democ ratio party
is bringing clean men to the front.
We do not know about the facts.
They have not travelled this way yet;
but we are amused at the prediction
which the Times hints Mr.. Little is
has the gubernatorial bee in his bon
net and thinks the Reconstruction
is favorable to his hopes. We fear
the worst for Stafford's prophetic
reputation. Old men may go and
new men may come, and old men may
be ~rejuyenated under some circu1n-
stances. But the death from which
there is no awakening is the death of
the crank and the faultfinder who
antagonizes every one, opposes every
thing, breaks down and ruins all the
time and never builds up. OF this
class is Henry Stafford Little, and if
he lived to the age of Methusalein it
would not be long enough for him to
live down his reputation.
Another gubernatorial boom that
amuses us is that of Senator Robert
Adrain of Middlesex. Mr.. Adrain,
according to the Times, is going to do
the carpet bag act. He is going over
to Essex county, because he has the
promise of some help there" He
thinks he holds Middlesex secure
already. This is a funny way of
working up a political boom. 1t is a
new idea for a politician to distribute
his beauty and sweetness in sections
over the State, wooing and winning
one county after another with the
Establishments of his Adonis-like per-
sonality. 1t has, at least, the merit of
novelty, and it may be just queer
enough to succeed. We do not, how
ever. see just how Mr.. Adrain is to
get over one little difficulty. He was
elected in 1891 Senator for MiddIesex
for three years. His term of active
service will not expire until the close
Of the session next year. The Times
says he is going to make the change
before the close OF this yea. What,
then, is Mr.. Adrain going to do? Is
lie going to represent Middlesex in
the Senate while he is throwing salt
on the tail of the Essex Democratic
rooster in his own barnyard? Or is
he going to resign from the Senate
for fear he would enhance the beau
tiful reputation he made for himself
during this years session.
But if Mr.. Adrain succeeds in cap
turing both MiddIesex and Essex, apd
all the rest of the delegates, and Sc
cures the nomination for Governor,
on what platform is he going to rum
Will it be on the racetrack issue with
the raIlying cry. Make your play,
gentlemen; make your play"g Or
will he take the Wanser wing clip
pers as a campaign issue with THE
public be damned" for his motto.
There are som other matters which
might be made shine in a campaign
headed by Mr.. Adrain. Probably he
will marshal his entire record to the

If Bob Davis does not stop his
indecent assaults upon Mayor Wanser,
perhaps the Mayors friends might
bring to light some facts quite we'll
known to the people who keep posted,
but not so well-known to the public.
The Bad Senator, we should think,
would use his influence with his Boss
to have the use of such double edged
weapons stopped as references to the
records of the Court of Chancery.
BY the way, ever since that mixed
ale Indictment humbug began to be
rumored about. we have been in re-
ceipt of numerous tips and hints as to
material which might be used for the
prosecution of the actual criminal
when the case came to trial. Many
persons. too, have urged us to give
immediate publication to a number
of interesting items old and new,
CLEANED from the records of the courts
and elsewhere. We are much pleased
at the public interest shown in the
case, and though all or nearly all of
the matters laid before us were already

spirit OF support and confidence dis
played by prominent citizens in sug-
costing them to us.

Fashion Notes.

The latest white muslins from Paris are
dotted with tiny embroidered spots of blue,
cherry or black.
The fashion of wearing three or four frills
round the top of the skirt is not pretty
one. and not one which is at all likely to be
popular. The general taste apparently is
against any sort of trimming which in
creases the size of the hips
Accordion plated gowns are in high favor
with Parisiennes for summer dances.
White skirts begin to be again popular.
There is no doubt that the plain skirt
and open jacket has become tiresome to
many women, but it still continues in
fashion.
