The national editorial association held
it's eleventh annual convention in st.
Augustine, Fla, January 81 to "A. In
his annual address before this ~associa-
ton, representing twenty thousand jour
nails, President Bunnell said: "We will
endeavor to make the press one Of the
truest and best friends of humanity by
refusing space to all questionable and
impure advertising, also excluding from
our writings the untruths and half
truths which are often more dangerous
and often have more Of poison than un-
masked vice because Of the pure alloy
which promotes their circulation" The
convention affirmed It's hearty accord
with ''every effort In the direction, OF
elevating the moral standard OF the
press"
Speaking of woman in journalism Mr..
Bunnell said: Leading in the van of
the higher thought, taking deep interest
IN all that concerns humanity, with a
wonderful adaptability to every public
position, woman is a natural leader.

You have no oath registered In heaven
to destroy the government, while shall
have the most solemn one to preserve,
protect and defend it. " At this point he
paused, for he had finished the argu-
ment. But Seward thought that there
should be an imaginative appeal added
to the address, Lincoln assented, but
could not do it. He passed the address
into the hands Of the secretary and
asked him for suggestion, and this is
what Seward wrote and appended to the
manuscript: II close. We are not, we
must not be, aliens or enemies, but fell
low countrymen and brethren. Although
passion has strained our bonds Of affec-
ton too hardly, they must not, I am
sure they will not, be broken. The mys-
tic chords which, proceeding from so
many battlefields and so many patriot
graves, pass through all the hearts and
oil hearths in this broad continent Of
ours will yet again harmonic in their
ancient music when breathed upon by
the guardian angel Of our nation.
And this is what the paragraph be-
came after it had passed the alembic Of
the purifying fires:
81 am loath to close. We are not en-
emies, but friends. We must not be en-
emies. Though passion may have
strained, it must not break our bonds Of
affection. The mystic chords Of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and
patriot grave to every living heart and
hearthstone all over this broad land,
will yet swell the chorus of the Union
when again touched, as surely they will
be, by the better angels of our nature. "
There is not in the whole history of
literature another such illustration of
the transforming force of the master
mind The rail splitter took the great
scholars faulty, struggling paragraph
and made it immortal-because he was
the thinker!

LincoIn'as a Dancer.

Lincoln made his first appearance in
society when he was first sent to Spring
field, Ills, as a member of the state leg
islature. 1t was not an imposing figure
which he cut in ballroom, but still he
was occasionally to be found there.
Miss Mary Todd, who afterward became
his wife, was the magnet which drew
tho tall, awkward young man from his
den. One evening Lincoln approached
Miss Todd and said, in his peculiar
idiom:
miss Todd, should like to dance
with you the worst way
The young woman accepted the inev-
liable and hobbled around the room
with him. When she returned to her
seat, one of her companions asked mis-
chievously:
"Well, Mary, did he dance with you
the worst way!"
Yes" she answered, the very
worst. ~

Dresser officiated. Among the many
friends of Lincoln who were present was
Thomas O. Brown, one of the judges Of
the state supreme court. He was blunt,
outspoken man and an old timer.
Parson Dresser was attired in full
canonical robes and recited the service
with much impressive solemnity. He
handed Lincoln the ring, who, placing
it on the brides finger, repeated the
church formula, "With this ring ! thee
endow witha my goods and chattels,
lands and tenements "
Judge Brown, who had never before
witnessed such ceremony and looked
upon it as utterly absurd, calculated, in
tone loud enough to be heard by all,
"God Almighty, Lincoln, the statute
fixes all thatp' This unexpected inter-
ruption almost upset the old parson, who
had keen sense Of the ridiculous, but
he quickly recovered his gravity and
hastily pronounced the couple man and
wife.

one discover its extraordinary merit for
months. Lincoln himself, with charac-
teristic modesty, thought it ''poor af-
fair" and was amazed when a London
journal-the next spring, think
praised it to the echo This set the key.
Every newspaper and periodical fol-
lowed the lead, and the little speech
Immediately took rank as an effort I'M
equaled on any similar occasion, as q
great English classic. It is not often
that native genius. is detected in Eng
land.
Lincoln was, beyond everything per-
haps, the incarnation of common sense
$50 called), which is the most uncom-
mon sense, and rarer than the rarest
genius.
Although one of the kindest hearted,
most amiable, most peaceable Of men,
Lincoln was the embodiment of courage,
as the incidents of his early life prove,
as we'll as the incidents Of his subDe.
quent career. During his repeated visits
to the front, while president, he gained,
among the soldiers, a reputation for in
sensibility to fear, SO careless, so indif-
ferent was he to any and all danger.
Naturally and necessarily, man Of
Lincoln s unassertive but resolute cour-
age was distressed at having avoided
Baltimore CONTRARY to his better judg-
ment) on his way to be inaugurated at
Washington, in obedience to the urgent,
overwhelming advice of his friends.
They only prevailed ON him at last by
assuring him that the Union cause de-
manded that he should zealously guard
his life. He never failed to feel that he
had made great mistake by any appar-
emit Sinking Of duty. He would rather
have been assassinated thousand times
than not have made the journey direct,
and the mistake" afflicted him to his
last consciousness.
No mortal creature has ever under
stood human nature better than Lincoln.
He seemed to know all men by instinct.
His perfect fair mindedness, his nncon-
ditional sincerity, so impressed every
body that the bitterest prejudices melted
away under their influence.
Since the death of the eminent eman-
cipator many persons have concerned
themselves about his faith, his religious
beliefs, and to little purpose. He has
been called atheist, infidel, deist, par
theist, orthodoxist, latitudinarian, ra-
tionalist, as most men Of earnest thought
and deep conviction are and have been.
No one knows what he believed or dis
believed; he rarely talked of such
things But whatever his faith we are
all convinced that his life was in the
right; that he had an idea of God that
should put believers in pint pot Deity
to shame. JUNIUs HENRI BROWNE.

HER SHAFT BROKEN.
Cunard Steamship Catalonia, Disabled
Towed to the Azores.


NEW YORK Jan. 29.-The Cunard limo
steamer Catalonia, from Liverpool for Bos-
ton, with her shaft broken, was spoken
in latitude 41.5O, longitude 3i.0S, on Jan.
90, by the White Star freighter Cevic.
which reached this port Tuesday. Cap.
tain Atkin of the Catalonia asked that his
ship be taken In tow of the Cevic, but
Captain Nicol Of the latter vessel was
Obliged TO refuse because the courses Of
the two ships were 30 far apart.
A cablegram from st. Michaels, Azores,
received Tuesday, reports that the Cata-
ionia has been lowed into that port by the
steamer Braunschweig. When the Cevic
encountered the Catalonia the steamers
were directly in the track Of the east
bound vessels and 1t was thought that the
disabled steamer would be picked up and
lowed back to Queenstown. All wero
we'll on board the Catalonia.
