treated it at great length. MT. Watterson's friends, however, are confident that not withstanding this array of those who have gone before him he will yet find some- thing new and important to say and will of course say it in a style all his own, and which in daily journalism has proved to be so spirited and effective.
 MT. Lincoln's biographers up to date have been his personal friends and political supporters. MT. Watterson will write as an xConfederate, and from that point of view as illuminated by the great march of events since MT. Lincoln was buried, but nono the less sympathetically, 1t is said. He is a passionate admirer of MT. Lin coln's character and genius, and from his editorial perch at Louisville has enjoyed long survey of the country and long study of tho conditions which produced the most unique man in American his tory.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

 "The dukes of Marlborough are descend cd from a chambermaid, while the first Duchess of Marlborough lived to see the man who had been in her service blossom into a secretary of state and postmaster general"

HENRY wATTERsON's TRIP.
He Is Going Abroad to Write a Life se
 Lincoln.

The popular interpretation put upon the projected trip abroad of Henry Watterson has been that the distinguished editor was in need of protracted rest. This turns out not to be the case. Mr Watterson is going to Europe to write 0 life of Abraham Lincoln. He will take his family with him and seek retreat in some quiet place probably some Swiss town-where he may work when the fit is on him and yet be close enough to Paris to look in on brisker life when he feels the need of rec reation. He has bis material all collected, and only the writing of the book remains to be done. It is expected that this will consume eight months or more.
 The line that Mir. Watterson will take is, of course, his own secret. Tho subject has engaged many pens, and some have
