LINCOLN'S BID FOR SLAVES.
Old Story Exploded by the Sole Sur
yivOr of Davis Cabinet.

vivor of Davis Cabinet.
John ii. Reagan, of Austin, Tex, sole
survivor of the Davis cabinet, the other
day furnished his statement regarding
the report SO generally current that
President Lincoln proposed at the
Hampton Roads conference that the
United States would pay $500, 100000
for the southern slaves if the confed-
crates would abandon the war and re-
turn to the union.
Judge Reagan recites that in his ad-
dress at the confederate reunion at
Nashville he asserted most positively
that no such offer in any form was ever
made. This statement was criticised
as an error by a writer in the Nashville
American, who quoted what purports
TO have been conversation between
President Lincoln and Alexander II.
Stephens, in which Mr.. Lincoln is rep
resented as saying that he would be
willing to be taxed to remunerate south
crn people for their slaves, that he knew
some who were in favor of an appro-
priation as high as $400,000,000 for the
purpose, if the war should cease with
out further expense; but that, while he
Individually favored the government
paying fair indemnity to the owners,
he could give no assurance or make any
stipulation in the matter.
TO put this plainly, Judge Reagan
says, Mr.. Lincoln's suggestion was for
the confederacy to abandon its cause
and free the slaves as a condition prece-
dent, and trust to congress for compen-
sation. lie cites various historic au-
thorities to show that, with the views
expressed by MIR. Lincoln in conversa-
ton and in his messages, he could not
have offered $400,000,000 for the slaves,
nor have said to Mr.. Stephens, as has
been further stated: "Allow me to
write union at the bottom of sheet of
paper and you write whatever terms
you please above it,"
Mr.. Stephens never said such an offer
was made, according to Judge Reagan,
who contends that in the Hampton
Roads conference it was understood, as
coming from President Lincoln, that
the only terms which could be allowed
were the unconditional surrender Of the
confedcracy, and that whatever conse-
Quences followed, restoration of au-
thority must be accepted.-N. Y. Times,

According to the american Field, a

to know all about the object of theil

of the workmen, he said:

The man directing the work stopped in
his instructions to one of the men, smiled
encouragingly and replied:

AS he did not proceed with his expla
nation the iuquisitive man asked:

OF rest, " the president had said, and all
had tried to make this occasion one that
should advance the kingdom cf God.
Much prayer had been offered during the
preparation of the exercises and the
drilling of the children, who were often
reminded that their special day was for
the glory of God and their own pleasure
combined, and that each should look up
on his part as an act of dtvotion. The
young people held prayer meeting the
first thing in the morning, that their
united petitions might bring to their
efforts Heavens Richest blessing.
The entire circle had formed itself ipto
a committee on courtesy. All were pro-
vided with little notebooks, in which they
wrote the names of all present during
the services who, as far as they knew,
attended no church. These names were
to be subsequently given to the pastor.
The Kings Sons of the church had
been called into service. These young
Knights of the Cross were on hand as
ushers and as general assistants to the
| sexton.
The services had been we'll advertised
in the local press, and two temporary
flower beds had been arranged on the
church lawn, made from potted silver
leaf geraniums and spelling Children's
Day.
The morning was given up to the
pastor, who preached special sermon to
the children. aud announced that during
the coming year he should enter upon a
new departure and preach q minute
sermon to the children on every Sunday.
The regular Children's Day exercise
came in the evening. The programs,
printed on cards cut in the shape of the
Maltese cross, were distributed among
the audience.
The children of the Sabbath school
came marching up the sisles sing
ing Coronation" They remained
standing in the front seats while the
leader read ''the Kings Daughters
psalm"
The recitations and songs were all we'll
rendered and enjoyed by all present
At the close of the concert the men-
bers of the Hopeful Circle carried their
decorations to the poor and sick, and in
many humble home each day of the
following week proved a delightful

At an informal reception at the White
House recently the question turned uI ON
the subject of matrimony. Mrs. McKin-
ley talked SO brightly and enthusiastic
ally upon the subject that Miss Gary,
daughter of the postmaster general, who
is soon to enter the welded state
laughingly remarked that Mrs. McKin-
ley might open select school for the
instruction of future husbands. Miss
Gary's suggestion met with general IA
vor, and the discussion was kept up at
a lively rate during the remainder OF
the hour.
If there is one topic more than an
other upon which Mrs. McKinlt y wakes
eloquent it is marriage. Above every
thing she extols the devotion Of her hus-
band as an example to young men She
unhesitatingly asserts that marriage is
woman's highest mission when coupled
with the mutual respect which begets
perfect confidence. In the discharge of
her domestic duties she believes that q
wife and mother finds her truest happi-
ness and reward. d.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Remembered By Mckinley.

A story suggesting quality of heart
not ususlly employed in the cold-blooded
disposition of place was told of President
Mckinley. Samuel M. Taylor, late
Secretary of State, is the author and inci-
dentaliy party in interest.
On certain night of recent campaign
Mr.. Taylor was filled for q campfire at
Paulding. Mr.. Taylor was born too late
to shoulder a gun, and could not there
| fore add to the collection of "reminiscences
sprung on the audience: but he was equal
to the occasion. He told Jonathan and
David story of two men from his home
town, which is Urbana. The story was
that two comrades happened to be i'm
prisoued at the same time in Anderson
Vile. One was little more thana a skeletone,
with health to fit, and the other was
lusty, with enough meat on his bones to
feed the tissues for many days.
One day the welcome news of a pro-
posed exchange came. The healthy
mans name was on the list, the name of
the other was not. When this discovery
was made the healthy man said: "Bil,
l can stand this better than you. When
my name is called you answer to it."
Bill answered, therefore, when the name
of Fred Hoisington was called, and went
out into the Yankee lines. Fred had to
remain nine months longer.
The story in due time reached Major
Mckinley, and he repeated it at the lay
ing of the corner stone of Grants
monument. He has probably repeated
it on other occasions. Last fall, on one
of Mr.. Taylor's visits to Canton, the
Major asked him what had become of
Hoisington. Fred was still at ;Urbana,
living modestly, and Mr.. Taylor advised
the Major accordingly, with sugges-
tion that Fred might do better if as.
sisted in some way. The Major did not
forget. A day or two since Fred
Hoisington was appointed an inspector
of abandoned mineral lands for some
western state, at So per day and ex.

Dreyfus May BE Innocent.

The wife of Captain Dreyfus, the
French officer sentenced to Punishment
on barren island for betraying the Sc
crets of the French army to foreign
power, has never ceased i'll her efforts
to prove the innocence of her husband
An exhaustive examination, carried on
with the assistance of all European mil
itary departments, gives color to the
suspicion that Captain Dreyfus' SEN
tence was the result of fearful judicial
error. A movement for the reopening
OF the case is going on, and there is
some talk of sending the captain to AL
giers to await the results of a new trial.

LOVES SEASONS.
BY MARY Z. Me. BLAKE

He came; and down through the gathering
shadows
The stars flashed far with a sudden light;
Sweet perfume stole from the dark, damp
meadows,
Glory and gladness filled the night
He went; and over the mornings splendor
A darkness swept to its shining rim;
Earth's throbbing heart-beats, glad and
tender,
flushed to a silence deep and dim.
All, dearest love The ebbing and flowing
OF time and its seasons are naught to me;
Still is it winter when thou art going.
And summer whenever thy face l see.
