NEW YORK. April 11.-Thirty years
ago, on the evening of the 18th of
April, in the city of Washington, Abra-
ham Lincoln was shot by Wilkes
Booth.
The man who short time before had
freed 100000 of slaves, on that even
ing sought recreation in the delights
of the drama. Before the night was
over he lay dying at a little boarding
| house on Tenth street, and, by one of
| those condolences common enough in
| fiction, but exceedingly rare in reality,
he lay in the same room where the man
who fired the Hateful shot had often
slept.
The writer of this article, by an &C
cident, that night met with an adven-
ture, the memory of which, after thir
ty years, comes to him like that of
some far away, yet vivid dream. 1 was
a member of the United States Chris
tian commission from Clinton, New
York, serving my second term as
delegate, and was stationed at the
commissions headquarters on Tenth
street, about two squares from Ford s
theater.
My duties had enabled me, after a
six weeks stay at Washington, to be
come thoroughly acquainted with the
city and suburbs, as l was detailed to
carry supplies to many of the nospit-
ais then so numerous in and around
that city.
1t was after a day of unusual toll,
that, worn out by my labors, l lay on
my cot, coat and shoes off, reading
and resting.
One of our drivers came in and made
a hurried announcement that President
Lincoln had just been shot at Ford's
theater.
You can imagine what an 1S-year-old
boy would, do on hearing such news.
Snatching the first coat 1 saw, putting
on my shoes in hot haste and not walt
ing to tie them, and taking cap that
belonged to some one else, rushed to
Ford's theater, where the deed had
been done Owing to the lateness of the
hour there was not so large a crowd
as L had expected. Mr.. Lincoln had
just been carried across the street to
Mrs Peterson's. lodging house, where
in the doorway stood little group
composed of officers and gentlemen
who were in the theater when the shot
was fired.
With boys desire to see every
thing, I pushed up the steps, and at the
open door was met by lady whom
at once recognized as Mrs. Lincoln.
She wanted some one to go to the
White house for her son Robert.
I'll go, madam said.
And who are YOU came from the
lips of an officer whose rank l saw to
be that of colonel by the eagles on his
shoulder straps.

mission" Isl replied, and hastily throw

A SCENE ON THE BouLEvARDs.

At the last New Years fair in Paris
one of the stall holders who, despite
the good weather and the multitude of
passers-by, had done very little bust
ness. had recourse to an original
method of clearing out his. stock.
While delivering his usual speech on
the excellence of his 80 centime arti-
cles, gentleman. in the state of the
greatest excitement, pushed his way
through the crowd and exclaimed:
There you are. you rascal No won
der you can sell these things at 10 sous,
when you still owe me a franc and a
half piece for them. But the matter
shall be looked into. 1 am going
straight and fetch the police"
The excited gentleman disappeared.
Our salesman trembled in his shoes
and entreated the bystanders to relieve
him of his wares. This they were ready
enough to do in the belief that they
were about to get all sorts of nice bar
gains at a third of their real value.
And the trick was done, for the pre-
tended wholesale merchant was mere
ly an accomplice of the Cheap Jack"

as they applied the putty around the

bottom and drew in the powder at the
top Becoming interested, he looked
on breathlessly while they were put

were about to light it he called out;

ErIauErrE IN WHIST.
Rules That Scientific Players Will
Most Certainly Approve.

The following eight rules, which were
adopted by the third annual congress
of the Amalgamated Female Whist
players of America, are formulated to
prevent the learner from unintention-
ally making the game dull and unin-
teresting. They should be carefully
memorized by the beginner:
FirstlConversaltion during play is
qimited strictly to the weather, fashion,
society, the drama, music, art, sports,
the new woman, the last few tricks
taken and everything else that may
tend to break the firing monotony
habitual to the new players. The sue
cess of the game depends on this.
Second-Each player should at once
throw out a hint as to the quality of
her hand, her satisfaction or dissatis
faction with it, and her approval or
disapproval of each play. This will
make you a popular partner with the
men.
Third-A player should never wait to
lead until the preceding trick is turned
and quilted. Delays of this sort are al
ways unnecessary and make the game
slow.
Fourth-Never fail, as the second
trick is turned, to inquire what is
trump Repeat the inquiry at short
intervals throughout the hand. This is
the easiest way TO fix it indelibly in
your memory.
Fifth-Frequently card should be
played in such a manner as to call
particular attention to it. If you think
your partner is not aware of it, touch
your card and say: Now, remember,
1 played that" He might have finish
ed the game with the impression that
it had played itself
Sixth-When you have played the
highest in suit, and it is your partners
play, never fail to remind him that it
is your trick. He might think it be
longed to your uncle in California
Seventh-When you are accused of
revoking stoutly deny it. If it is proved
against you, you can explain at length
just how you came do it. If you dis
cover your own revoke never fail to re-
woke a second time. In this way the
first error will escape notice for a little
longer. This will make all the men
glad they are in the game
Eighth-If you are bystander, walk
around the table and look over the
hands of the players. Do not forget to
call frequent attention to the game
during the play of each hand This will
prevent your husbands friends from
feeling neglected.

carriage were recognized it was al
lowed to pass, and soon both Robert
Lincoln and Senator Sumner were at
the presidents bedside.
I shall never forget the questions
that were put to me during that brleI
ride, by both Mr. Sumner and Robert
Lincoln, to obtain from my meagre
knowledge the facts of the shooting
which of course 1 was unable to give.
The same colonel whom l had seen
before was with some general when we
reached Mrs. Peterson's house, and L
was asked to go with a young lieuten-
ant, who did not know the way to
General Augur's headquarters, to de-
liver as I learned an order that put
a guard around the entire city. 1t
was thought that the assassin, Booth,
might be in hiding within the limits.
Upon my second return, at Mrs. Lin
coins request, went to Capitol Hill for
some senator's wife who was a great
friend of Mrs. Lincoln. The street

owner demanded our errand. Then

other senator across the street and

A TASK REQUIRING GREAT PA



Whoever attempts to make plaster
casts from living horse will find that
it is a work requiring almost infinite
patience. It is hardly necessary to say
that the animal must be trained TO
stand perfectly still or everything is
spoiled. Many were the devices Mr..
Partridge had o emplay; many We're
the ingenious schemes invented by Clio
vanno to keep Dante from growing
restless as the plaster hardened about
one part or the other of his body
When the left leg was being nodded
for instance, Giovanni would hold up
the right fore leg while his master took
the impression, the result being that
Dante, finding himself poised on three
legs, could scarcely move the single
front one that supported his weight.
But finding even this plan insufnclent
to prevent little nervous movements
such as a twitching or shiverlng OF
the skin, Mr.. Partridge hit upon
ruse for occupying Dante's attention,
which worked admirably He had
Giovanni hammer upon the moor ne
was supporting as if he were black
smith putting on a shoe. OF course,
Dante had grown accustomed to this
operation, and the hammering on ms
upiifted foot kept him from thinking
about the leg that was being nodded.
The sculptor and Giovanni went from
one part of the horse to another, meet
ing new difficulties as they advanced
and overcoming them by novel means
and abundant patience, until finally
they had sectional castings of the
whole horse. And wonderful, beautl-
full castings they were-far different
from the ones taken from dead flesh.
Every tendon, every small line, al
most every hair was thus brought out
with absolute distinctness and fidelity
to life, not death.
Nor did Mr.. Partridge limit himself
to studies made from Dante; he used
