LINCOLN RELEASED HER SON.
A Widows Grief Touched the Heart of the
Martyr President.


Early in the spring Of 1868, when Louis
vile and the entire south was manacled
by the steel clad handouts Of military
law, draft for soldiers was ordered, and
the male population became wild. The
late DR.. Thomas s. Bell was the head Of
the draft, and the citizens looked to him
for the protection of their interests.
Among the prize winners on that his
torical occasion was machinist's appren-
tice named Burns, who was the sole sup
port of his widowed mother, Mrs. John
Burns, whose humble home was in Wash
ington street, between Preston and Jack
SON. When young Burns name was pulled
from the wheel, military guard was
sent to the shop for him, and he was
marched instanter to the barracks, where
his hair was clipped and suit of blue
was placed at his disposal. In less than
two hours after his arrival he was a full
fedged member of the One Hundred and
Fourth Kentucky infantry and ready to
meet the enemy.
Mrs. Burns, the boys mother, was q
small woman, of wiry frame and having
but recently lost her husband, was almost
distracted by her boy being snatched from
her, but being plucky in the extreme she
head off the heartless Kentucky authori-
ties. Some of her church people and neigh
bors contributed and quickly had round
trip tickets and few dollars in her purse
Then away she went and at time when
it was worth life to start from homo to
any part of the United States.
Arriving at Washington, the game little
woman elbowed herself through the big
in tho danOt Vhnn hu
system of inquiries she footed her way
to the White House In the yard there she
met domestic, to whom she told her sto-
ry. and the latter in turn told it to Mrs.
Lincoln. Then she quietly called the great
president to her little blue room, where
she told about Mrs. Burns Of Louisville,
who was then waiting in the near hallway
to hear the fate Of her son, who was then
soldier in the One Hundred and Fourth.
Mr.. Lincoln sent for Mrs. Burns to
come before him, and she was soon in his
presence, with her eyes showing every evil
dence of grief. She simply told the truth,
as above-that her son was her only possi-
BILE support and she had come to ask him
to cause his release from the army.
sWhy, certainly, madam, said the big
hearted Lincoln. "No mother shall suffer
the anguish yon are now undergoing as
long as my pen can make the stroke to re-
lieve her, Be seated and wait an hour.
Then you can return home happy, hope. !"
Mr.. Lincoln then turned, and rs he
passed through a door leading to the
breakfast room he directed that she be
dined at breakfast with the second ladies
of the White House, and, sure enough, in
an hour afterward Mrs Burns was ready
to leave Washington with an order in her
pocket for her son s release from Che Unit
ed States army, not to be interfered with
again during the war by either Kentucky
or United States authorities. s.-Louisville

How a Soldiers Daughter Defeated Cap.
-Faa tain Nelson's Forces.
It is well known that Lord Nelson the
hero of Trafalgar, had but one eye, and it
is commonly supposed that he lost it In
the ordinary fortunes of war. Such, how
ever, is not the truth, if the story current
in Nicaragua may be believed. In 1880
England sent out an expedition to enforce
her claims to certain lands adjoining the
isthmus. The point of attack was Fort
San Carlos at San Juan del Norte. Two
hundred sailors and marines under the
leadership of Captain Nelson were landed.
The cowardly garrison of Spanish soldiers
deserted the commanGant, but he refused
to leave. His daughter, Donna Rafaela
Mora, a girl of is, remained by his side
and determined to do all she could for her
father and for her country. She took up
her position behind an embrasure, seized
gun and when the party advanced fired
directly at their leader. He fell, his eye
pierced by bullet His followers were
instantly thrown into confusion and tho
garrison, seeing their opportunity and in
spired by this young heroine, returned to
their duty and succeeded in driving the
English forces back to their boats
Donna Rafaela Mora was decorated by
the king of Spain, commissioned colonel
in the royal service and pensioned for life.
Nelson's biographers merely state that
he was repulsed at Fort San Carlos and
claim that he lost his eye in Corsica. The
foregoing story has, however, been consid-
cred authentic, and by reason of it General
Martinez, the grandson of Donna Rafaela
was sufficiently popular to be elected pres
ldent of tho republic in 1852 by grateful
people Eagle.

his advantage to the British, as her
statesmen contend that their title to the

tending, as they do, that the territory
east of the Sohomburgk line, clear to the

which they had been condemned since
childhood SO anamic that they could
badly stand. A slave was killed in

sprinkled over them. Head hunting had

petty chief could be buried without
many freshly decapitated heads to form
his escort into the next world. The
greatest respect, moreover, was shown
to such trophies. They were smoked
over fire to preserve them. Their lips
were forced open to receive the choicest
morsels during the family meal To-
bacco and betel nuts were also spread
before them. They were looked upon as
honored guests, and every effort was
made to win their friendship.
