LINCOLN ON THE MONROE DOCTRINE

During the war General Thayer, in the course
of a ton with President Lincoln, re-
ferred to the occupation of Mexico by the
French, and asked him what he thought
about it.
Struggling up his shoulders and wrinkling
his eyebrows Lincoln said
"Pm not exactly 'skeered,' but don't like the
looks of the thing. Napoleon has taken advan-
tage of our weakness in our time of trouble,
and has attempted to found monarchy on the
soil of Mexico, in utter disregard of the Mon
roe doctrine. My policy is, attend to only one
trouble at time. If we get we'll out of our
present difficulties and restore the Union. I
propose to notify Louis Napoleon that it is
about time to take his army out of Mexico.
When that army is gone, the Mexicans will
take care of Macmillan. can best illustrate
my position touching this subject by relating
an anecdote told by Daniel S. Dickinson, Sena-
tor from New Yark, in a speech delivered
by him few evenings since in New
York City. He said that in a certain
Connecticut town there had lived two
men as neighbors ana friends for more than
sixty years. They were pillars in the village
church, one OF them being a deacon named
White. The other was named Jones. After
this long lapse OF time serious difficulty nm
fortunately sprang up between the two bretb-
rem OF the church. The feeling waxed so warm
Mutual friends attempted reconciliation. but
the men would not reconcile. Finally Deacon
White became dangerously i'll and drew nigh
unto death. Mutual friends again interposed
their kind offices to effect reconciliation
They said to Brother Jones that it would be q
SIN to permit the sick brother to die with the
quarrel standing. Jones was persuaded. md
called on Deacon White The two men
talked over their mutual grievances, and,
agreeing to let them be buried, shook hands
and exchanged mutual forgiveness in the nres,
ence OF death. The deacon then lay back upon
his pillow awaiting his final summons. and
Jones arose to leave. But as the visitor reached
the door, Deacon White, with a great effort
raised himself on his elbow and called ont IN !

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Editor Of the San Francisco Cdll-SIR: The
notices appearing in morning paper concern
ing the death of Artist w. NJ. Bode leave the
impression that the deceased was entirely I'M
attended during his Illness.
This was not fact. For nearly two weeks he
had been under the of ladies of the Fruit
and Flower Mission, who had provided him
with necessary linen and his family with pro-
visions. The Salvation Army also furnished
him nurse, who watched beside him day and
night. A physician was also in attendance.
l call your attention to these facts because an
injustice is being done q body of worthy
women and charitable organization, whose
efforts are very often unappreciated because
unobtrusive. H.V.

published in to-day's CALL, for a preservation
of the proper pronunciation of the names of
our San Francisco streets, or, If it be too late
for that, why then for restoration of it. 1t is
claimed sometimes, know, that it is too late
to make the desired correction-in regard to
Kearny street, for instance, the present cor
ruption being already quite generally the ac-
copied pronunciation; so that one who should
be accurate in the matter is accused of affecta-
ton. 1 can scarcely believe this. for, besides
the correctness of the thing proposed (Which
should certainly rule) there ought to be read
mess in the pioneers and their descendants at
least, to preserve the historical names unde-
filed or 10 rescue them from the deflement.
Why should intelligent and educated people
let the other sort control in this matter? We
appeal to them to exercise their perogative
and set this thing right.

all the States of North and South America
That is the American policy and America has
the power and will enforce it to prevent

Before England talks of fighting the United
States British statesmen should consider the
question very carefully. The English might
go into such a war very boldly, but they would
be likely to come out of it with little honor
and with the British empire very much smaller
and weaker than 1t now is.

Great Britain has war fleet much larger
than our own, and a larger number of trained
officers, soldiers and seamen. These advant-

dismay to thoughtful and patriotic citizens

by the desire to make sure of their reelection.
