WILLIE AND TAD LINCOLN.
The Two Sons of the Great Presi-

Julia Taft Bayne contributes an arti-

willie and Tad Lincoln who were
playmates of her brother during the
time that they lived in the White house.
Mrs. Bayne says: willie Lincoln was
the most lovable boy I ever knew-sen-
sible, sweet-tempered, and gentleman
nered. He was rather fair with blue
gray eyes, while Tad had quick, dark
eyes, and a fiery temper. Though very
affectionate when he chose, Tad was
unyieldfng in his dislikes. His peculiar
defect Of speech made it difficult for
strangers to understand him, but those
who saw him every day had no diff

The two Lincoln boys were then a
little over ten and eight years of age,
my two brothers being a year or two
older. The elder, Horatio, or "Budd,"
as he was always called, was fair, like
Willie Lincoln, while Hally was dark
This resemblance of the two pairs of
boys was often remarked upon

THROUGH RAIN AND MUD.
Hardships of the Union Army After
the Battle of the Wilderness

Gen: Horace Porter draws the follow
ing picture of wartime experiences in
ms Campaign with Grant in the
FEBRUARY Century: The continual rain
was most d1sheartening. On May I6
Grant wrote to Halleck: I'VE have had
flVe days almost incessant rain. with
out any prospect yet of it's clearing
up Inc roads have now become so
lInpasSaDle that ambulances with
wounded men can no longer run be-
tween here and Fredericksburg. All
OFFENSIVE operations must necessarily
cease until we can have tWenty-four
hours of dry weather. The army is
IN the best of spirits and feels the
greatest confidence in ultimate success.
Inc elements alone have suspended
hostilities"
In the Wilderness the army had to
struggle against fire and dust: now il
had to contend with rain and mud
An ordinary rain, lasting for a day OF,
two, does not embarrass troops. but
Wnen the storm continues for a week
1t becomes one of the most serious
obstacles in the campaign. The men
can secure no proper shelter and no
comfortable rest; their clothing has no
chance to dry; and tramp of a. few
miles through tenacious mud REQUIRES
as much exert1on as an ordinary DAVIS
march. Tents become saturated and
weighted with water and draft animals
nave increased loads and heavier roads
over which to haul them; dry wood
cannot be found; cooking becomes Diff
fcult; the mems spirits are affected
by the gloom, and even the most
buoyant natures became disheartened
1t is much worse for an army acting
on the defensive, for it has more
marching to do, being compelled to
move principally on exterior lines.
Staff officers had to labor day and
night during the present campaign in
making "Reminiscences, and in cross
questioning natives deserters. prison
ers, and fugitive negroes, In am at
tempt to secure data for the purpose Of
constructing local maps from day to
day. AS soon as these were finished
they were distributed to the subordin-
ate commanders. Great confusion arose
from the duplication Of the names OF
houses and farms. Either family names
were particularly scarce in that section
of the state, or else the people were
united by close ties of relationship. and
country cousins abounded to a confu-
sing extent. So many farrnhouses in
some Of the localities were occupied by
people of the same name that. when
certain farms were designated in or

THE CZAR'S HEALTH.
RumOr That He Is in n PrecariOHs
Condition Is Denied.

No undue credence should be attach
ed to the alarmist rumors arriving via
Berlin and Vienna concerning the
health of Emperor Nicholas. In the
first place Prof. Won Bergman, the dis
tinguished Berlin SURGEON, who was
reported to have been summoned in
hot haste to st. Petersburg in order
to operate on the head of the czar, not
only has not left Emperor Williams
capital but never has ever received
any summons of the kind from Russia,
says a st. Petersburg letter More
over at the very time when Nicholas
was asserted to be so shOckingly i'll
as to stand in need of the services OF
the great German surgeon he was pre-
siding at the long, wearisome and in
tensely trying ceremony Of the bless
of the waters of the Neva, which in
wolves standing bare-headed for sew

of a st. Petersburg January. The cere-
mony in question was followed by q
review, held by the car, of the entire
metropolitan garrison, which lasted sew
eral hours more. No man as sick and
as ailing as the emperor is reported
to be, could possibly have withstood
these fatigues.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.--A total Of 80, GOO
shares for the transactions on the stock ex-
change today tells the story Of the stagna-
ton which p.'2vaied. The usual narrow
ness OF the Saturday half holiday market was
added to by the prospective full holiday on
Monday. The fact that trading would be
suspended over two days caused some of the
professional short interests to start to cover
as provision against possible contingencies
in the interval This movement was not ex-
tensive or long-lived, but it caused an up
ferred being the only stock, however, in
which the Improvement reached the dimen-
sions of point, touching 155. The weekly
trade reports, which were for the most part
favorable, and the strength in wheat also
had a sustaining influence on the market
such reports of railway earnings as were
at hand today were also favorable. The COW
ering came to a STOP however and the ad-
vance in prices was checked in the last half
hour. One Of the causes was the publication
Of the bank statement, which, with an in
decrease in the loans of 81, 500, O0O was gen
orally regarded as unfavorable. An increase
OF cash: both specie and legal tenders of
500, is shown, and this is opposed to
be due for the most part to the receipt Of gold
from California. The supply Of exchange in
California was small. and large shipments of
goid to this city have taken place. Added
to the bank statement, arbitrage selling of
some stocks gave the shorts still further
encouragement to keep their short lines ex-
tended Some depression reflected in
tnls market from foreign exchange, where
uneasiness over the potentiality for evil of
the Cretan imbroglio continues The mar
ket sagged under these combined influences
SO that the early gains were almost all lost
ana the market left off heavy. In the bond
market feature was the jump of points in
Hooking Valley 5s, due to a feeling that the
fears that the March interest would not be
provided might not be we'll founded. The
total sales of stocks today were 81 913 shares
