A Story of Lincoln.

President Lincoln reached Meade sta
ton, near Petersburg, soon after seri-
GUS battle, in which about 1000 Con-
federates were made prisoners. General
Meade was on the presidents left and
Colonel George D. Ruggles on his right.
On their way to headquarters they rode
to point where they could see the large
assemblage Of prisoners. With the pris-
oners were many colored servants and
laborers.
Mr.. Lincoln" said General Meade,
II guess Ruggles did not overestimate
the number Of men captured.
MIR. Lincoln checked his horse, DELHI
erately surveyed the field full Of Cor
don's disarmed men and the contra bands
and said, "Yes, general, the number is
there in black and white "--Chicago

SENATOR STEWART ON SILVER.

2 The cause OF free coinage is steadily
gaining ground in this country as the
passage OF the silver amendment to the
House bond bill by the Senate a short
time ago proves. The West is largely
In favor of restoring silver to its place
as standard OF value, and the same
sentiment prevails in lost OF the South
ern States.
In Virginia II the issue were fairly
presented the majority would be for
the rehabilitation of the white metal.
This sentiment has been greatly the out
growth Of the campaign OF education"
inaugursted by the administrat ton,
which, while using all its influence in
the wsy OF patronage to psrpstuste the
power Of the gold monometallists, has
set in motion forces that have brought
about an opposite way OF thinking from
that desired by the President and Cabi-
net, until now there il rtro-g and
growing feeling in favor OF the free
coinage OF silver, which will make itself
felt in the next national election.
AS 8 part of the programme of educa-
ton in favor of silver coinage, the friends
OF the white metal In this city have in
vised Senator William M. Stewart of
Nevada, to deliver an address here at the
Academy Of Music on Saturday evening,
February %, which promises to be one
of the most interesting and important
political events that has occurred in
this section for years. Senator Stewart
has been among the abless champions of
silver coinage in Congress since the
issue WAS FIRST raised. II is q master OF
the subject and all who desire to learn
the true merits of'the question should
not fail to hear him.
It's believed that the capacity OF the
Academy will be taxed to it's utmost to
hold the people who will asse m BILE there
on the occasion referred to. reports
from the surrounding country being to
the effect that great interest is mani
tested in the expected speech. It is
hoped that ell friends of silver in this
SECTION will remember the date and
see to 1t that the doubsers among their
friends and acquaintances will have
chance to hear the Senator from
Nevada.

Flogged the Wrong Man.

The law officials in England sometimes
make mistakes, but so do not know that
hogging has ever been administered to the
wrong man. But this is what has happen
ed In Hongkong. One of the prisoners in
the English Jail there had been sentenced
to receive Is lashes for misconduct, and in
some way the wrong number was set down
on the logging sheet. On the day fixed a
cody who was in jail for gambling was

discovered the mistake and communicated

the ranks Of the insurgents are Ameri-
cans. II this be true We are not sur
prised ct the desperate fighting Of the
rebels, who, according to the official ac-
counts Of the Spaniards themselves, do
not hesisate to come to close quarters
with the enemy and use either the
bayonet or the sabre. Once let rush
of recruits from this country commence
and the independence of Cubs is as
sured.
It ia evident that It is now or never
with the insurgents. If they fail in this
attempt to liberate the island from the
rule of Spain the yoke will bear down
upon them 80 heavily that sill efforts at
independence will be futile. With fifty
thousand troops, largely made up of
Americans, the Cuban patriots would be
able to successfully resist any force the
Spsniards might bring against them,
and If men from this country are en-
listing as rapidly as reported they will
not only have that number soon but
possibly as many more. At present the
outlook for rebel success is very prom
Using indeed.
General Weyler, the successor Of
Captain General Campoa, arrived st
Havana yesterday and promises to per-
secute the war in different and far
more vigorous manner. II he should
have Americans to fight, however, his
progress towards victory will be as slow
and unsatisfactory ss that Of his pre-
decessor.
