lust as wildly as il it were yesterday
do / remember the night on which Presi-
dent Lincoln was shot. 1t should be re-
membered that there were many rumors
current toward the close of the war Of
plots to assassinate President Lincoln.
Among many other, Mr. Ward H. Lamon
was especially anxious on his account.
On the eve of his departure for Richmond
he urged upon Mr.. Usher, the Secretary
of the Interior to persuade Mr.. Lincoln
to exercise extreme caution, and 10 go out
as little as possible while he was absent.
Mr.. Usher went with him TO see Mr. Lin
coin, and when about 10 leave he asked
him If he would make him promise. He
asked what it was, and said that he
thought he could venture to say he would.
He wanted Mr.. Lincoln to promise that he
would moi go out after night while he was
gone, particularly to the theater Lin
coin turned to Mr.. Usher and said: Usher,
this boy is a monomaniac on the subject
of my safety l can hear him or hear of
his being around, at all times Of the night
10 prevent somebody from numbering me.
He thinks / shall be killed, and we think
he is going crazy" He then added: What
does any one want 20 assassinate me for?
If any one wants to do so, he can do it
any day or night. If he is ready to give his
life for mine. IL is nonsense"
Mr.. Usher then said: Mr. Lincoln, it Is
well to listen and give heed 10 Lamon. He
is thrown among people that give him OPP
portunities to know more about such mat
ters than we can known"
He then renewed his request, standing
with Is hat in his hand. ready TO start

cordially shook hands and said "Goodby.
God bless you" That was the last time

THE GREAT NILE DAM.
A Mile and a Quarter LOng-COn-
strnction VIII Require Five Years.


From the London Chronicle.
We haye all heard, in general way,
that a great dam or reservoir is to be
constructed on the Nile. The purpose, of
course, refers to thelrrigation of Egypt
matter of vital Importance. No river
holds the imagination of the civilized
world quite as the Nile does. while the
construction of the dam will in itself be
unique engineering feat.
All these considerations naturally make
the average man anxious to learn "furth-
err particulars of the scheme. Sir Ben
jamin Baker was good enough to place at
my disposal some details in regard 70 il.
From them the public may be instructed
on the broad question, What does this
giant Nile undertaking mean-to what
does il all Gomez" Sir Benjamin Baker
has only recently returned from another
visit 10 Egypt in connection with the sub
iect. John Arid, NJ. p, whose firm has
obtained the contract for the work, has
also been on the spot. A beginning has
practically been made with the cres. ton
of this new wonder of Egypt-this modern
thing which will keep the ancient Pyra-
mids in countenance.
Nothing big is done in day; every
thing has a preface. For years the ques-
ton Of perennial irrigation" has claimed
the attention of the Egyptian go yernment
and its engineering staff. Then an inter-
national comm ssion of experts went over
the fell that, so to speak, had been map
ned out by the local forces. The reser-
Voir question was one of such magnitude
that il was desirable to hay the highest
scientific advice upon 1t. Here were a
number of projects which had been sub
nitted to the EgyptbIn government.
Which was the best one, in all the cir
cumstances? There is 70 need however.

lust let us come TO The eventual result
of these.
This was that the site of the dam should
be at the Cataract of Assouah-the first

adjustment of a reservoir at a nigh level

the Result of CareIessness.
Washington, April FIT was learned to-
day that the torpedo boat Gushing is on
her way North from the blockading
squadron of Admiral Sampson off Ha-
vana, in order that repairs may be made
to her starboard engine, which is wrecked
as the result it is said, of an attempt to
show off her fine qualities by Naval Ca
Diet Boyd who was temporarily in charge
of her. The repairs, it is expected, will
take a month and probably will be done
at the Norfolk navy yard. 1t is said that
the vessel has had no encounter of any
sort with the2Spanish, and that there is
nothing in the report that the Spanish
gunboat Ligera had fired at and hit her.

THE GOLD FLINT MILL.
The Erection of the Plant Will Be
Deferred Until Next Spring.

Judge ]. W. Burton has returned
from Chicago. where he has been on
business connected with The proposed
mill for the Gold Flint mine near Lees
burg. Idaho.
1t was expected that the contracts
for the machinery for the plant would
be placed during the judges absence,
but he found that delivery could not
be made until so late in the season that
it would be impossible to set the stuff
to the mine, so. it was decided to defer
the erection of the works until early
next spring, although the contracts will
most likely be let about the first # the
year with specifications to he effect
that the mill is to be in running order
early in the summer.
In Speaking Of the nine the judge
stated that work was progressing fine
ly in its extensive development and
that already ore to the value of urar-
ter or half a million had been blocked
out ready for extraction and milling,
while as work progressed it appears as
if there would be no limit TO the min
eral deposits, the gold values OF which
run Sc and $40 to the ton and up
wards.
The Italian mine is in the sa're sec
ton of country as the Gold Flint, and it
is believed that this property will make
an excellent record this fall and winter,
